N54 Total Engine Rebuild & Upgrade - big carbon buildup / burnt piston / bearing wear
Hi all
Have started a thread on the UK Technical forum about a total rebuild and upgrade of my N54 engine. Everything from pistons and conrods to a baffled oil sump and completely ported, polished and blueprinted head... Plenty of pictures as the thread develops over the next few days. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...90#post8481990 As a teaser...

You have no idea!!
Been working on the engine, commissioning an proper high-performance aluminium radiator, manufacturing an automatic transmission cooler, designing custom pipework... all I can say is that it will be a proper engine...! And all that is left to do is to figure out the dry-sump conversion and lower the engine in the bay a little

fantastic, glad someone is finally building an engine for these cars.
looking forward to your progress. what are your plans to reduce/eliminate the carbon buildup? It looks pretty severe in that one picture
