jc43089 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 As a reference the last engine I had cleaned up cost 450-500. That included inspecting and hot tanking and painting the block. Measure and micro polish the crank. Polish and measure pistons. This was for an m20. Done by Gritzmacher Racing Engines in Mosinee WI. He was impressed with the BMW parts as he mostly does SB/BB Chevy engines. Especially with the crankshaft. This was for an m20, I also had him inspect and clean the block for my m50 several years ago. Not sure if the price was good or not but he was a nice guy and recommended by the local racers.

jc43089 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 From the reading I have done OE is the way to go. I haven't had any issues in the 45k since I rebuilt my m50 and I hit redline every time I drive it. I miss driving it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
