bah.......i typed a big long thing up in the GRM forum, but it didn't work and i lost it. so i'll make this short.

1) what is involved in the rebuilding process?
2) since the engine is in pieces for the rebuild, is it a good idea to balance and blueprint the engine at the same time?
3) my understanding is that B&B-ing involves taking all the moving parts of an engine down to tighter than factory tolerances by replacing or machining parts that are "out of balance" please add anything else i'm missing
4) can a rebuild be done by a simpleton like me who only has basic maintenence and bolt-on mechanical experience?
5) can any engine build do a sufficient job of B&B-ing, or should it be sent to a builder specializing in that particular engine (noteably the E30 M3 engine. yes, it's looking more and more like my car is about to be sold).
6) anybody happen to know a good E30 M3 engine builder??

thank you, that is all.
