    M20 885 Head

    I am selling an m20 885 head that came off a 92' convertible 325i. I bought the entire engine from a member on here to build a stroker m20, but I don't need the head for this build. The engine had approximately 102,5xx miles on it when it was pulled, and it ran good when pulled for an s52 swap.

    Now, the most important thing to note is that although the head/engine ran great, I did however find that two of the seams that holds the rocker rail was welded at some point in its life. After talking to the previous owner, who then talked to the second owner of the car, we traced it back to sometime pre 1996' that the weld was performed. Like I already mentioned, the head ran great for the last two owners and wasn't even noticed until I removed it. If you have anymore questions about the weld or the head in general, let me know and I will see what I can help you with.

    You can see the welds in the close up shot I took. The head comes with the camshaft, rockers, rails, valves, springs, intake/exhaust studs (if you want them), retaining clips yada yada, I didn't remove anything more beyond what you see here. Pretty much everything you need minus the cam gear and valve cover. If your wondering further what is specifically included, just ask.






    ^-- You can see the welds in this pic.










    Price is $150.00, which I think is more than fair for a working and running 885 head. I understand the welds may turn some people off, so I believe I adjusted the price accordingly. I will ship if buyer pays for it, but would obviously prefer a local pickup. I will even meet you closer if your willing to come pick her up.

    Haha you don't have the PO's number bud.

    To prospective buyers: I never had any issues with the engine and the PO Adrian didn't either. Together we account for the engine's ownership history from 1996 to 2015. That head has a lot of long road trips and hard driving on it by me this summer (NY-Ga and back, OCMD, Bimmerfest, lots of autocross, track days, etc). Not to say that I'd assume it'll run forever, nothing will. But had I not found my S5x so cheap this would have spent another season in my car.

      True, it was a team effort in my book ;). Thanks for posting in.
