Cylinder Heads, Cam and Valve Train
Engine Parts and Components:
Yes we build complete engines for all years of 1600, 2002, 320I, and E30 318I. Anything from a stock rebuild to a 300+ HP Turbocharged Monster.
All our engines are built to order. We are not a production engine rebuilder. All engines are treated as individual projects and afforded the attention needed to make then outlast and outperform any other engine available. We prefer to build the engine core that was in your car, but we will supply engines on an outright No-Core basis when the need arises.

Complete Parts Packages or Individual Components.
80% of the engines we build fall into one category. Normally Aspirated ( Carb or F.I. Non-Turbo ) Performance street engines that need to run on Unleaded Pump Gas (92-93 Octane).
For those of you looking for a full on Race engine , I.T. Legal Race Engine or a Turbo Prepared engine please contact us for specific info and to discuss your needs.
All Top-End Performance engines, from stock to GT Road race, go through the same basic processes. We do not cut corners.
After Disassembly
All cylinder heads are pressure tested and inspected for cracks.
Although we can successfully repair cracked heads we prefer to just get another casting to work with. We reserve the crack repairs for special heads that are difficult to replace or have so much money invested in modifications already that it is more practical to repair them then scrap them
- All Engine blocks are Hot Tanked and Magnafluxed for cracks.
- Cranks are cleaned and measured for journal size and roundness.
- Con rods are check for straightness and magnafluxed for cracks.
- We are clean freaks when it comes to engines.
- All parts are hot tanked or cold tanked as needed.
- All blocks are scrubbed and brushed out

Since we replace everything else the inspection process is not that tough.

Are installed. Seats and valves are replaced as needed. 3 angle valve job with hand lap and back-cut. Surfaced top and bottom with the upper front cover to insure a leak free installation .
