this is for a customer who wants some strength added in the water jackets for his tt bmw setup. i've only done two ports so far, i need to get some thicker filler wire. i'll post up pics of the finished head later.

as soon as I saw that head I knew it was a bmw. bmw are known for breaking rocker arms if you over rev them, but I bever seem the actual head get damage

just trying to show something different that you don't get a chance to see too often. i've posted it on a bunch of different forums. ;)

yes, I drive a HONDA, but this head is for a twin turbo BMW. this is hmt where it is all about boost. :y this kinda work could be done for any vehicle head, block, intake mani...
