BMW 325i engine in 1986 325es first turn of the key Cam, matched ports, lightened flywheel

I mentioned the cam below about a year ago. I ended up pulling the cam and going back to a stock 325i cam which I like a lot. I did not like the rough idle ............. But, if I had bought the mildest cam instead of the second step up, I think I would have been happy with it.

ive got a 2002 325i and im looking st getting a mild cam for it soon i hope itll sound similar but not as deep

how is the engine getting cooled i see no radiator? D:

can you tell me please where you bought that cam and the cost of it, for a chain cam it has a good resolution

The engine is an 87 325i. The cam is a schrick 284 and I felt it was to much for me so I replaced it with a stock cam. My next engine will have a mild street 272 cam. They cost about $425 but there are good regrinds if you are on a budget (which we all are on). I do not know what you mean by chain.

It is ok to run an engine for a few minutes without coolant or a radiator. The main reason for doing with this way is if there is a problem, there is less labor if we have to remove the engine, plus we would not have the problem of capturing the coolant.
