My $30 head, how does it's condition look to the experts ? I am starting to take it apart so I can have it blasted (since it's aluminum it shouldn't be chemically washed right?)

so which one is which...like which one s the gold one and which ones the black one

[Rocla]

the third hole on the fuel rail that you are talking about goes to the cold start injector (if that helps at all)

On all 318i l-jets I've seen cold start valve has t juntion on fuel hose, not on fuel rail.

ok since this is an m10 thread i ll jump in.. i just swapped an m10 out of a 85 4 dr auto into my 2dr 5sp 84..the problem is everythings ready to go except for the vacuum hoses and fuel lines..grounds..etc.. the motor that was in there had one type of injection..or whatever..not really sure what the difference between the two is but the motor that was in my 318 had a gold fuel rail with two outlets for hoses....the one that came on the motor is a black fuel rail with only one outlet..so i figured the easiest thing to do would be to switch em.. and put the gold one and the injectors onto the motor with the black one..seeing as how the harness in my car was already for the gold fuel rail..(sorry about vagueness i know theres two types i just don t know which is which) so now i have a mess of lines that i don t know what to do with and i can t find vacuum hose diagrams anywhere..not in a haynes..or a chilton/.. they got the 2.0 liter 4 cyl but not the 1.8..if anybody could help out or point me in the right direction that would be great this car has taken forever and now i m almost there and i feel dumb to be stopped by such a stupid complication... any help is great..thanks

Not bad, but since I am a n00b when it comes to engine rebuilds I am going to stick with a simple and cheap m10 for my first try ;)

[Mr Deagle]

s14 block, 500 usd on s14.net

[Jean]

Yes, s14 block will accept m10 head with minor work, and has 93,4mm bore.

And offcourse will cost more....

I don't know if it makes sense $ wise to put an s14 block with a pos m10 head lol.... I bet s14 block is just as much as a complete m20/m50 motor ?

I plan on just sticking with the m10 block/head for now, if this doesn't work out then I'll just have to swap a newer i6.

[Rocla]

S14 block with m10 head?

Yes, s14 block will accept m10 head with minor work, and has 93,4mm bore.

[Mr Deagle]

[Mr Deagle]
