timing problem?? urgent

[bmwman91]

very longshot, I'll take a look tonight. I've had an m42 powered car for the better part of a decade haha and the mess under the intake has been performed, no TB heater plate.

I'm gonna inspect my other head and see if I can see anything. Probably going to get that resurfaced and slap that in

Forgot to ask...did you get the head & block resurfaced?

[jrobie79]

no I didnt, i didnt want to spend the money since I was going to swap it anyways in 5 months or so. Probably a fatal omission I'm sure. (stubborn)

i drove it throughout winter, only been parked for about 2-3 weeks

EDIT**** during my ownership the car only ever got into the red zone temperature once and that was over 2 years ago.

Hmm, could just be leaking from warpage or something.

all cylinders were around 190 psi for compression too
