BMW engine weights

[tzei]

Hi

Does anyone know weight of a M31-engine (M10 turbo from 2002) and S14 (E30 M3)?

i dont know what they weigh but i've a feeling there wont be much difference, my current engine is a turbo'd S14, and its definatly a bit heavier than my turbo'd m10 was although that had a light fabricted stainles exhaust manifold as opposed to std cast one, i know the s14 is heavy from corner weighting my car. so i guess a m10 turbo and std s14 will be similar

tzei you might be interested in knowing i know a chap over here who is having steel m10 rocker arms made which will work out considerably cheaper than teh lester owen ones

Yes i'm under that impression too but i'll need some printed data for local mot(?) for my "M2".

This is good news. I've allready got some Al-r.arms from Perry at Skidmark racing... I'll brake these first
