Nice!, There was a lot of talk about Cylinder liners, pistons, rods, and crank. However, there was no talk about the Heads.

Are the cylinder Heads modified at all? I mean does Dinan install larger valves, port & polish the heads etc....???

I dont think the head is different.

[scribklu]

Really? Thats interesting... I guess it means there room for more improvement....

As Steve said, BMW M engines of today do really have alot of expandability built in to them (M3 V8 and M5 V10).

Wow, it's about 1/4 inch between the cylinders.
