I know this may not be the right forum but I need the knowledge here :help
I lost a valve and it pretty much wrecked the head and block( I tried to make it to the pits) Mistake.
I have decided to go N/A high comp pistons and port/pol head, I am having a friend build it, so I need a motor to start with and then a head that is ported/polished.
Does anyone have an s52 (with or without a head and pistons)?
and also looking for a head that has the work done?

please email me

P.S. c-30 supercharger and all its components are fine and will be selling it before spring.
ohh and I guess I will have to change my name..

Sorry, no help, but it may comfort you to know that I don't miss my supercharger on my S52. I think it is actually more fun because you have more cars to play with, and less stuff to worry about breaking. I assume you are HPDE guy, not a racer.

Well, not really. You *did* blow an M3:D

Hey, there seems to be several S52's laying around. Why not go for a S54 swap at this time?

Sorry to hear, Bill.

Cant complain tho for the constant flogging that motor took. :D I've got a garage full of S50 parts, so I'm probably no help there. Hope to see her back and better than ever next year.

Cylinder head from the S50 is the same as the S52....well I think after 9/94 build anyway. Same for most M/S50 variants. I have a buddy who has 2 US S50's that he's selling. One is a stock motor, has like 180k on it, no damage and it ran pretty strong. I brought that car back from MD where he bought it then I rebuilt the car using bits from his wrecked car (including the motor of course) and various upgrades and such. Anyway, so it was removed it from the car he bought to install the more built S50 from his track car that he wrecked.

The other one he is selling is the built motor which blew up at Mid Ohio just recently. He has now switched to a euro 3.0l. Not sure if he's interested in parting the motors but then I believe the block casting is the same so you could just bore it out for proper S52 bore.

If you're interested let me know and we can talk. I have the stock 180k mile motor here. Cheers.

Posting items for sale in the engines for sale area. I have two S52 cranks, S52 block that needs two bores sleeved, a set of S52 cams, as well as a spare S52 head complete in very good condition. I was going to keep the head, but the right offer can pick it up.

I would also be willing to sell the head off my current engine. Head is an S50 head, ported and polished via Flowbench numbers, decked .0015", and has S52 valvetrain installed. Head is highly ported, strictly for race engines. I can have the head off as soon as tomorrow if need be.

Shipping a head is a pain though, but I would be willing to do it. It will take me some time (and money) to do it right.
