    Looking for a shop/individual that can do a full m42 engine reseal/clutch in LA area

    Hey e30 folks,

    Old gal has the common oil pan gasket leak, suspected head gasket leak (losing coolant without any obvious leaks. already deleted heater core), and rear main seal is slightly leaking. My clutch recently started slipping as well. So I figured, I might as get the whole engine resealed while addressing the issues.

    Unfortunately big name shops; Bimmerheads & JMP are out of my budget. I am well aware about the whole "you get what you pay for" but I am positive there are shops or individuals out there that do quality work for reasonable prices.

    Please let me know if you guys have any recommendations.

    Thank you in advance!
