            No actually, bought it from a chap who sourced it from Germany. Apparently it's an ex test engine. A few dyno miles but otherwise brand new. Certainly looks new! Difficult to determine the accuracy of where it originated but it has testing batch tags with notes written on them suggesting it was used by or for Siemens components.

            Regardless I'm not worried as it has some nice shiny bits to go inside at some point

                        What CR are you running with those pistons? Are they the Mahle 142 alloy or something else?

                          Those are the INA spec -10cc dish pistons so they will yield a 9 to 9.5:1 CR depending on the head gasket thickness.
                          Alloy is Mahle 142 . What we have been trying to get going for the old school inline-5 crowd but we are still 4 away from the MOQ (20 pieces).

                            Excuse my ignorance but what's an 07k engine?

                            Super cool project by the way. My dad has a 240 brake VXR off the same chassis and that's damn quick.
