Hey r3v, I have an M52b25 in my E34. Was refreshed about 5k mi before I bought it @ 55k mi....yes, that's right.
Anyway, I hopped in to go to work yesterday, cranked it for a second as I usually do as it kicks on almost immediately everytime. It kicked a bit this time like a didn't hold it long enough, thought nothing of it. Turned it again and it spun like I was performing a compression test, as in virtually no resistance as if all of the plugs were out....visions of bent valves are dancing in my head at this momet.

Here's where it's a bit scary
Yes, it's off that far...how, have no idea. Ran out of time this morning to go any further. Haven't checked the tensioner but as I turn the motor(very easily) it seems ok, but i'll pull it tomorrow.
Any suggestions how this might have happened?
