Yeah, they from a 3.0lt M3 (s50B30) ... the tops r just cut down.
Had a bit of a problem last night though... put the head on and didn't check the timing so when I torqued the head onto the block I bent my one intake valve... thats what u get for tryin 2 go things in a hurry.
I'm just confused cause I when I put the crank on the correct timing mark on the pulley and crank case, and the timing mark on the head and Cam pulley, it seems that the exhaust valve is open... which doesn't seem right 2 me ?
BTW, I bent no. 6 intake valve... funnily enough there isn't even a mark on the piston.
... Sheesh I can be stupid sometimes.
