    At a 1st timers rate, you can have that head off and sent to a machine shop and back on the car in 3-4 days. Like I said yesterday, there really isnt much to mess up on. Shit there isnt even that much to take off and put back.

      Why not buy Mr Wiggles S50 for $1900, have it installed locally and have something new to show off at Bimmerfest along with a big grin?

      Okay okay, if that's not in the cards for you then get a good complete i head, slap it on and call it a day.

        Pull the head, get it checked for flatness and pressure tested at the least, then put in fresh bolts and gasket.
        Enjoy bimmerfest.
        Hold off on 5 speed until motor swap.

        Time and money is obviously a constraint. this has the least turn around time and is the least expensive IMO.
        I wouldn't want to rush into a swap like that if I was you. I would take proper amount of time to do necessary research and collect the right parts over time to get it done right than trying to rush it in time for a yearly car meet.
        Maybe so. I'm keeping all my options open right now. But yes... time and money are a constraint.

        Fair enough... I'll get some estimates on getting a head resurfaced around town.

          lol, at the end of the day, nobody is going to give a rats ass who was leading or not. actually...doesn't even need to be at the end of the day. anyone can just drive there. doesn't take a certain special person to navigate there first.
