Hey Guys, new here and this is my first post. Stock 325i aside from suspension, but I am wondering how this happens??
Cruising along the freeway one night, admiring how well my car runs with 185,000 miles on when after I pull off the freeway I hear some crazy clanking noises and I feared maybe it was the timing belt that went. Sound like valves slapping the piston or something, so I pulled off the valve cover and I see this. Not sure yet if the timing belt was the root cause because I am having trouble getting these damn dist. rotor screws off to pull the TB cover off and it was late last night. But this is a solid piece of the head with that some rod just slides though it and I can can't see any pressure of force being applied to it that would make this happen. Needless to say I am going to need a new head.... Sux.. If it was the timing belt then this is my bad for procrastinating so long, the replacement has been sitting in the garage for months now.
Thanks,
Jeff
