Nice project!
What do you want to do with the compression ratio? keep it the same of lower it?

compression ratio, hmmm - main problem of my engine(especially block) is that it was built as low compression by previous owner

I had a dilema - remake it to get highest possible compression ratio for NA or leave it and turbocharge it - my choice is now obvious :-)

ohhhhhh i can get hold of those relativly easy, didnt know that they worked in an m10, did you have to bore the engine out a bit? what compression do you think its running?

You can also use them to build a 2.3 m10.
