Guest eschm19615 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I have a 86 325e I bought in Neenah over the summer. Ive done lots of work on it and just have picked up a red 87 325is so I can swap wiring ecu and i head on my 2.7. I plan on shaving the head as much as I can to raise compression back up, anyone know how much I can shave it? Or what the expected CR will be? I also have picked up a 87 325e which is going to have a second chance at life once im done with it. Its just simply been negleted for a few years and need some tlc. I will be selling it once im done with it. Im new to the e30s but I have loved working on my 944s for a qhile and im very pleased with the e30s overall. I cant wait to get that head on my e tho the is has black interior, seats are shot, but is going to be my parts car. I will sell the 325is lower end and any other parts off of it. I was going to use the 3.73lsd, head set up, sway bars, and a few other bits in my blue E tho. Ill entertain offers and I do have TONS of other parts, let me know if your looking for anything special!I have a set of rip free, mint seats for a foor door (possibly a 5 series) they are really nice but seem wider then my e30 seats and dont flip up to let people in the back.please call/ text Erick 920-344-5444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Welcome! The maximum machining limit on the cylinder head is indicate by a cast-in recess. When the head has been machined to its max, it will be flush with the recess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Welcome! Make sure to start a build thread for us to follow.As far as the seats, if they don't have levers then they most likely are E28 sport seats. The seat backs will swap but the rails are different.

Guest eschm19615 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thanks for the posts and I think your right about those seats. I didnt know that about the head.

Ill be sure to write something up on that and a possible build tread on the car:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
