So engine is being built with new Bavarian Maxsil Pistons t.m. We'll see how they work. Pretty lightweight. Block was cut to fit. They supplied rings to go with them. Had a bit of trouble installing pistons. Rings kept popping out. After ramming my head into the wall, breaking all my tools, and beating my wife, I figured out the problem. To be brief, never use anything out of a box that has been taped closed. Someone put the wrong piston rings into the right box. My bad, should have put one in the block to check for gap first. Oh well, my wife didn't press charges. Mixed and matched a new M3 oil pump with a used 02 pick up.

I went with the Euro Cam gear. Cost me about a buck. Should get more torque by retarding the exhaust cam

With tranny, exhaust, intake and M3 clutch
