No step on the flywheel, is the 6 bolt crank spec for the pressure plate different?

Not really sure. There are pressure plates and clutches that will fit the older style six bolt crank/flywheel that are available. Believe they are 228 mm

The car (1457125) was for sale (on consignment) with autokennel, Costa Mesa, Ca, a year ago. Tel # 714 410 0223.

It's possible the Owner/new Owner might be interested in having the original motor.

I have already contacted the owner as he actually lives nearby. He is selling the car and doesn’t want the engine unfortunately.

Hello my friend.

How is it that you completely assembled the head without the cam retainer plate installed?

I was also surprised by no step on the flywheel.  A little bit of step goes a long way toward clamping pressure. (otherwise why would BMW specify it in the shop manual?) 

Excellent that the 121 head is a 78 casting and not an original 72 or earlier casting.

Actually the original flywheel is on my 1600, this is just a spare flywheel that I purchased on eBay. It was only when I received it that I noticed it had been machined enough to eliminate the step. The six bolts are tough enough to find that I just kept it. If a buyer already has the six bolt set up, that’s great, but if not I know there’s a company that makes a conversion kit for about 500 bucks.

Blew a cylinder in South Bend IN.  Is your M10 still available and if so, how much are you asking for it?
