It's all good. :) head at the machine shop who did the rebuild. Was surprise I had issues with the head. I told them I need them to drill out for the oil passage for the new cam as the old one is trashed :( hopefully they are willing doing it for cheap or free.Originally posted by LJ851 View PostComment

No. Super Eta cams are a 7 main cam. E bimmers have 4 cam mains.Originally posted by scottinAZ View Post1988 E30 335i - 1987 E30 327i - 1987 E30 327iS Pickup - 1973 2002 Project

my car is a 325i. the head on the engine now has a burnt valve so i sourced a new head to be rebuilt that way the car won't be down that long.
the head im swapping on is a 885 with 7 cam bearings and dual valve springs. im 99% sure its a i head but I just want to make sure.

there are 6 wholes on the support were the head bolts go on the intake side. it does say its a 89 though on the casting.
