      2 of them are hacked off in areas and the other one is in my car.

      Yes, we welded the oil pump nut.

          Hm. I have an m52tu for sale locally, with a blown headgasket. Should I buy it? Can I use parts of it with the M50 engine I already have to make one complete engine? (non vanos head, m52 bottom, or vice versa)

                      I may not either.

                      I have a gun aimed at my M52's head, and if it doesn't cooperate, I pull the fucking trigger.

                      Todd, be glad you didn't get this motor. And I'll agree with Trent on this one, "you're (me) a dumbass"...why I ever wanted to go M50-->M52 is beyond me.

                            If I remember correctly the m52"tu" has double VANOS. That would make it unusable.
