    M20 Engine Rebuild

    Hi Guys (and Gals),

    Seeking service referral or recommendation for complete engine rebuild for 5 speed 88ix. Been driving this car non-stop since 94 (minus a few months downtime here and there). Now she's developed issue with head cylinder.
    Don't wish to screw around repairing head or related parts only - just want a complete rebuild top and bottom.

    I'm located in Washington, DC area (DC, MD, VA) and am willing to ship engine or entire vehicle to a qualified, diligent, trustworthy shop anywhere (USA).

    Any assistance greatly appreciated!

    Bimmerheads /thread
    But seriously. I just had my block redone and if i had gone with a bimmerheads block i would have been better off. Too late now but for future reference.

      What's your budget?

      Spec E30 engine builder is your area, He should be able to do a good job.

            I got a rebuild from Metric Mechanic. It runs well and makes good power. Shipping was painless.
