    Default Race car after a couple of laps

    Well, my engine died on the track... so I will be looking into a M50 complete engine rebuilt on a budget.
    I am guessing headgasket or damaged head... Time to find a leak down tester and check this engine...

    I think you should put an M30 in it.

    Sorry to hear! Hope you get it back on the track w/out mucho $$.

    Perhaps you could get a M50tu cheap as those are easier to find. Then drop in S50 cams, S52 retainers and S52 valve springs. Hmm, I bet the M50 dual valve springs fit.
