One of the spark plugs has stripped out of my motor and to do and sort of decent repair it requires that I pull the head. My friend also has a wrecked 328is that he said I can have the motor from. My dillema is this:
Do I pull the head and have it rebuilt or do I do a swap now?
The m52 has around 180,000 miles on it and does not have the wiring harness or tranny. My motor has 230,000 miles on it but ran really well until the spark plug issue.
If I keep my stock motor I still may swap sometime down the road but this would allow me the time to save and do it right. I'd also be putting in a cam (Schrick 284 or 288 probably,) 19# injectors, 027 AFM or MAF and some MarkD software.
Which do you think would be cheaper/faster/more reliable?
Thanks,
Brendan
