PGK's beemer with a big update!

[PGK]

Sneak peek update! not too much to comment on. Every time I work on this bike my estimated time of completion grows further and further distant......maybe in 6 months it'll be done. I had to wait for pistons, then I had to find some heads, then I had to find cylinders.....now I'm waiting on custom prototype lifters, which aughta be stronger and lighter than stock. Which is important, because the cam I put in the block is a Crane Cams 336 regrind...they take the BMW 336 cam and regrind it. stock cam valve lift is a puny .225", lift with this cam is .485". that's right. double.

So, I've basically eaten my words with the 'stock but slightly improved'.

That's the new one on the right. I'm not keeping the stock 800cc displacement after all, instead, it'd going to be 1050cc. It's also lighter than stock.


Black diamond coated valves, heavy-duty concentric valve springs, and titanium valve spring retainers. Believe it or not, all of these are less expensive than the same BMW parts.

I'm working on grinding the valve seats whenever I have a spare moment at work. I'm starting to really get antsy about this thing....
