Thanks guys. I wish I did this 3 months ago. This would have been a lot easier.

Ok. New update.

I went through to see Jezebel at Gtech this morning.

The new piston is in and the engine is currently being put back together. Lee reckons it will be fully assembled by 5pm today.

Tomorrow we start to merge the engine back inside Jezebel as well as hook up all the electronics and water pumps etc.

A lot to do.

I really cannot wait.

Here are some photos from this morning.

The old piston that got moered by the valve that dropped.

[NeO]

wow what a read...respect man.

So cool reading this only to find out that you mite be driving that perfect machine TOMORROW!

Thanks Neo, this car has had some major mods done to it, so I could not let her die.

The bottom end of the engine was built by the previous owner to be turbo charged by HPF. So all the parts inside are the best M3 performance parts money can buy, lightweight forged pistons, rods, bolts. The Bottom end was so well balanced, that the car revved up so freely it was scary fast.

I can't wait to get her back.

Hope you sorted your problems out with your Ti.
