I was driving my 325is and the engine cut out on me all the sudden. Turns out the timing belt is fine, but the timing belt bearing is no longer with us.
My mechanic said he would charge $1500 to replace the cylinder head but this much money is out of the question so Im going to replace it myself. A few questions I had are
a.) Will the pistons be damaged from the valves?
b.) Is it absolutely necessary to get a new head gasket if I replace the head? (im poor)
c.) Would it be cheaper to fix the head or just find one at the junkyard?
Thanks for the help!!
