    Well that would explain it...

    Bought an e30 and it did not run so well, sounded real unhealthy. It didn't sound like there was anything hitting anything else so I thought a valve may have been stuck open. Well today I finally got around to pulling it apart, this is what I found.

              holy shit how long had it been running like that.


              And how the hell did the previous owner not think there was something very very wrong when it sounded like a bag marbles was rattling around in there with that valve head beating the shit outta the piston and head.

                            my m20 sounded like it was full of ball bearings before it died. When i took it apart it looked absolutely nothing like that. I cant imagine how bad that thing sounded when it was running.
