Sources for rebuilt head? M42. Or even a new engine.

Damn head is cracked I think. Lots of trouble now and I don't have time to browse flea-bay for months.
Any good leads on engine and head sources?

I'm in socal so local would be great.

Ugh. :(

That's rediculous.

Buy a used engine or head, have a shop refresh it :)

There is a huge BMW recycler 20 minutes away from me, give them a call to check http://www.bmrparts.com/

Yeah, BMRparts.com is the same company as bavengine.com

Bavengine quoted $800 + ship for a used, untouched head. Just vacuum tested.
$2200 for rebuilt, port, polish, new everything, that's a bit of overkill.

On to the next guy, I'm not willing to pay that much, yet.

search craigslist for an engine pull the head, and like stated before have the shop refresh it.
