:notworthy:

i salute you sir.
:jump_clap:

well done. this has been an excellent read. and should help fellow s4 owners to be able, one day, to attempt this on their own.
i wounder if we could make a locked thread with all your photos in as a kind of step by step guide.
seeing the ups and downs of it all.
you must report on power delivery, overall smoothness and mpg. power will be mentioned of course.
would be interesting what components you used. rods and pistons. where and dimentions. ( std or bigger) did you use any rs4 bits.? crank bearings oil pump etc.

well done that man.

I could live with a front mount cooler as neat as that.

How much would it cost to build another setup the same?
