Here we go! New episode on project Chicago!

After a couple of bad Alpina H1 engines, I ended up buying a stock N62B44 engine and made some interesting discoveries. You'll have to watch and see, but we have a solid plan on how to fix it!

This time around, I'm considering coating the pistons - https://www.dupont.com/products/molykote-pa-744-anti-friction-coating.html

There are several companies in Germany that do this, not that expensive and I've read some very, very good things about this coating. I can also purchase the stuff from the link above and for around 100 euros including needed materials, I can do it myself.

I bought Mutitoyo micrometers and have a bore gauge coming too, so I'll be able to check the clearances myself as well.

Would love to know if anyone here has experience with piston coatings!

Hope you like the plan! Cheers!

How Can We Fix the Troublesome Alpina B7? - Project Chicago: Part 9

In this episode, we go through several different plans and attempts to put the Alpina back on the road. I end up buying a V8 N62B44 engine on which Alpina H1 engine is based on. We make some rather interesting discoveries and come up with a plan!
