Porting a BMW E30 325i Head. Could Be a Disaster!

The casting on our new replacement AMC cylinder head for the BMW E30 325i was terrible! So bad, we had to fix it before we could install it! Every port needed to be reworked so, Lewis went to town and thoroughly ported, polished, gas flowed, valve lapped and gasket matched the head to try and get it to the standard our E30 M20 engine deserves! If we had known how bad the manufacturing was, we would have sourced an original head or another aftermarket head to use! Luckily Lewis was able to save it......after removing a lot of excess material! Will it start after all that reworking?? Tune in to find out!

Great video, love it. Can't tell you how lovely it must be to have a wife that rushes down to hear the first start. What an amazing couple you both are.

The alignment dowels looked missing from the block. I know you probably don't want to hear this after the AMC saga but without these I have heard the head to shift during running and can potentially cause oil feed issues to the head.

Going too big on the exhaust will rob low end torque, even the amc exhaust is sufficient for 220+hp , most people will go big on the port and just slow down airspeed, best mod on the amc or 885 is a 43mm intake and only a mild port, theres not a lot of power in the roof, and smoothing the intake port doesnt affect the m20 head as its a straight shot at the valve and the only bend is the short turn, good too see m20 content, i share as much info as i can on the m20 our personal m20b29 is 340-350hp

The AMC heads are just as bad on VW WBX engines. The ports are ok but the seat/bowl area is comically bad. There are also some worrying QC issues as a recent batch of WBX heads have a partially unmachined chamber seal leading to head gasket failures. Not good considering recent price hikes.

I’m curious, if it’s new, why you decided to port it yourself rather than return it? Nice job though!
@WhitelandRestorations
@WhitelandRestorations 11 месяцев назад
Couple of reasons really.... 1) we imported it and paid a lot on delivery/duty. 2) it was lock down and we had no other options. 3) we'd rather just do it ourselves and make sure it's done properly!
