Hi all.
I am new to the engine rebuild game. Just recently purchased an 89 325ix.
Since the car is old as me and i have no history of the car i would like to rebuild the engine. Before i start calling places. I would like your guys opinion of how to prepare the engine. Obviously the engine has to come out the car. But do i disassemble everything to bare minimum, leaving the valve cover the head and the block intact but everything else off the engine. I have no idea what machine shop requires usually. The rebuild i want is to fully clean the engine. Inspect the cylinders and determine if honing or boring is required. I also would like the crankshaft to be inspected as well. Since i would like to replace the crankshaft bearings. I am pretty sure some went through this process just want some insight.
