    So why did you decide to put a stock engine back in with your power goals?

    Time constraints really got me, I have most of the parts to assemble the built bottom end, but then I will need a twin disc clutch, I want cams/ a race oil pump (maybe a dry sump setup)

    I dont want to cobble it together and then wish I had done something different in the future, So a stock block should handle 700whp for the next few race events I do, and I will just come bigger and badder next year.

    So factory M52 rods, pistons, and rings, with widened end gaps?

    Do you know what range those end gaps usually fall in?

    Is this car still going to get daily driven or has it been retired to race use only?

    Thank you! A couple of guys have reported really small end gaps on very high miles M62s with alusil blocks recently. Might explain part of the reason that M52s love some bewst, while the M62s like to break pistons at the first opportunity...

    Your experience making big power with high miles M52s shows that these ring gaps seem to be sufficient with e85 at least. Maybe not with pump gas, huh? But that's a different story!

    My setup was with an m50, but plenty of members here have made big power on m52's with pump gas.

    Did you try to keep your A/C at any point, or no? I'm probably going to have to go top mount since I also have an HX40 sitting in my garage. Does your manifold allow this, and if not, do you know of any that do?

    If you can find any, I know AR Design made an A/C compatible top mount but they're hard to come by nowadays. Jon Vigil is said to be making new versions of those, but I think the only person that currently has one of those is Matutino.

    Well, crap, what about the new ones from good n tight? Or perhaps the hx40 might just squeeze in with a bottom mount?

    I'd ask Otis about the new ones, I don't think they're A/C compatible. A spa t4 bottom mount might fit the hx40. Fits my friends GT40R so I'd say it's possible.
