About that little crack:

Mechanic says this is nothing to worry about, because he has inserted something else in there like a second pot?? So it is double?
Well technically I am left behind, so I just keep my fingers crossed, unless someone with better knowledge than me can help here

Some more pics
These were took rather quickly -again-today
More parts ready for the rear disc brakes conversion

A question: I think I can read somewhere on the block (of the "new" engine) a number "87"
Is it possible that this could mean the engine year of manufacturing?
Wasn't M10 production stopped at about 1983 or 84?
Hopefully soon I will make a good picture showing this clearly

Here in Holland we had the M10 engine also in the E30 BMW until the beginning of 1987. I had one.

Indeed.
And I just saw this in wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M10
I had never noticed

An update from yesterday, enjoy the pics:

New engine is coming to existence, little by little










And the rear disc brake conversion almost ready!

Nice upgrades going on. Those rear arms look great
