Parting out S52 engine

[notjoe]

I have found my new s52 engine to rebuild so the time has come to start parting out my current s52 engine. I will have the engine pulled this week and will be ready to strip it.

1 Connecting Rod
1 Piston
Block
Oil Pan


Shit which is spoken for:
Cams
2 Connecting Rods
Oil Filter Housing

Let me know if there is anything you guys want from it

how much hp gain will I gain if I put an s52 piston into my engine?

What was wrong with the original engine? Is the crank and block in good condition?

the block now has a vented speed hole, compliments of a con rod.

Sorry guys... seems like i missed a line in the original post.

The block + oil pan has a hole in it
1 Rod is finished
1 Piston is finished

You should have said right from the start that it was a conversion to an air cooled system... :) Now it probably is worth twice the money ;).

It's also great for undercoating your car! :)

Can that hole be repaired or is the engine shot?

Or stick a turbo in the hole... and ziptie it in there. now THATS a custom install:)

[jstalin]

It's just steel right? Can't you just weld a piece of sheetmetal to it?

[///Milan]

Would you really want a patched up block?

[jstalin]

hey an m3 engine is an m3 engine, patched up or not

[Axxe]

Lol.



Hey Joe, if you don't sell a con rod and piston, I would love to add it to my collection of random engine internal bits on my shelf. :D

[propr'one]

and hey tom, if you feel like "knife edging" a s52 crank (see mark, i now know what that means:P)
and sticking it into my m52, i might uhh.

[JazzM]

it is a legitimate question and you are being an arse

[notjoe]

Alvin: It might just be up for sale, once i get it ;)

Eurostyle: I feel you. I dont know if he is playing stupid or actually is. I would think anyone with minimal knowledge knows once a block is hole'd that its finished.


Update:
Plastic M head cover - Pending
Ignition Coils - Pending
