rather than just putting the eta block and the 2.5 head together, i thought it would be best to do the rings and shells first... how much do you guys roughly think they would cost to buy??

You''l be looking at about £80 for quality new rings and the same again for main and big end shells.

Plus a hone of the cylinders so the new rings have something to bite into :)

I got all mine from my local engine recon centre, Goetze rings and Karl Schmidt bearing shells.

Don't forget you'll need new big end bolts are they are stretch bolts and can't be re-used. Best to get these from BMW.
