I had the pleasure of removing an M62tu + 6speed out of my brothers 03 m-sport car as he have possibly overheated it. Dealer tests confirmed there are exhaust gasses present in the cooling system when engine is HOT, compression and leak down tests are fine and no coolant is present in cylinders. Further testing required removal of engine/heads for diagnostics, which would cost to the tune of $5k+.
Anyways, with some help from good friends I pulled the exhaust/tranny and then finally m62tu out of the engine bay for further diag.
I'll post some pictures later today, and as I go through the process.
Heads are going to a local machine shop first, if the problem isn't found then block is going to follow.
This shop is local and has good rep here in town - http://www.cascarmachineshop.com/for_you.html
Vac also does some work on these (http://www.vacmotorsports.com/catalo...ng-service.htm) , but I don't have unlimited time/$ so going with someone local instead.
