If you saw this thread:
then you know that my M62 block is dead, and I need a new one. A friend of mine (creator of the aforementioned thread) went to look at an E38 with a supposedly good M62, but what he found was an M62 stripped to the heads and block with rusted cams and cylinders full of water. All I wanted was the block.
Does anybody have any experience with water corrosion on alusil or aluminum? Has anybody tried to remove a rusted piston ring from a cylinder without damaging the cylinder walls?
We suspect the block may have been in this condition for up to a month. I'd ignore it, but on the off chance the block is salvageable I think I can get it for next to nothing.
