well took the amg head off, the 34 AMG .

first thing i noticed is that thou the bore is the same the piston design is different from the 36 amg engine, also piston to wall clearance seems less than on the 36.

secondly the 34 head is ported on the intake side (heavily so), exhaust left untouched. on the 36 its the opposite.

the head runs double spring setup for the valves, and all the parts are on the heavy side. It is like they are made to out live earth
the valve stems are simply humongous, makes me wonder how it revs to 7000rpm but it does. btw reving this engine makes such a lovely mechanical sound that even the 36 doesnt have. it reminds me of M3s and old 911s.
