Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 14:49:14 -0700 From: Juan Bruce <jbruce@gmail.com> Subject: S52 motor swap and which pulleys? I'm making a list of parts for the 3.2L S52 engine swap I'm going to be doing in a few weeks for my '95 M3. It will have OBD1, schrick cams, Euro HFM/Conforti Intake/Chip/ 24#injectors, UUC lightweight flywheel and M5clutch, Euro Oil Cooler, TMS oil pan baffle, Rogue finned diff cover and underdrive pulleys. Now its seems like ther are several different options for underdrive pulleys and a range of prices from $189(UUC) to $259 (Rogue) to $279(Evosport) to $349 (Bimmerworld). What's the difference between the various different pulleys? Also any comments on or additions to my parts list are welcome.

Any idea on the price? I was >> wondering if these were a 'wear item', being softer aluminum holding >> steel lifters. Yes, that's what I was referring to. They include the cam journals and the bores for the lifters. Whether to go this far in refurbishing a head would depend on mileage, one's budget, condition of the original parts, etc. Obviously the only source for proprietary internal engine parts like that would be a BMW dealer. I have no idea how much they cost, but my bet is they're not cheap. Neil 96 M3

Underdrive pulley kits that include crank pulleys, when used in conjunction with a lightweight flywheel, can cause a harmonic imbalance within the engine/drivetrain. That said, underdrive pulley kits that do not include crank pulleys are definitely safe to use with a lightweight flywheel. IIRC, there was a rather large thread/debate on Bimmerforums sometime back regarding this issue.

Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2004 17:15:30 -0700 From: Juan Bruce <jbruce@gmail.com> Subject: FS: S50 for rebuild I'm getting ready to do an S52 swap in my '95 M3 so the original S50 engine will be coming out soon. It has aprox 126k miles on it. I am the original owner, I have all records for the car and it has run Redline Synthetic Oil since aprox 15k miles. It still pulls strong but it burns an excessive amount of oil (1+qt/500miles) so its my guess that it needs rings. Its still running in the car, just passed emissions and is available for inspection, compression check etc. in the SF bay area. I will be keeping the OBD1 electronics for the 3.2 swap. $1000obo Juan Bruce VP BMW CCA GGC '85 M635CSi '95 M3

Suneal, In both of your emails below you state that a pulley or lack thereof will "cause" or "create" a "harmonic imbalance". This is not what's going on. All engines have inherent harmonic vibration. This does not indicate or stem from an imbalance. Likewise, replacing the OE damper/pulley combo with an undamped pulley does not create any vibration. It just leaves the existing vibrations unchecked. Think about that and then re-read your Dinan link. There has been a large debate on this issue on _every_ forum over the past several years. --Matt -----Original Message----- From: Suneal [mailto:suneal@suneal.net] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 10:06 AM To: E36M3 Subject: Re: [E36M3] S52 motor swap and which pulleys?
