I was just posting to see if there was someone in the KC area that might want to help me out and do a head swap for me. I've got a 91 325i. I already took off the original head and have a new one to swap on. I already bought a head gasket set, timing belt, water pump and headbolts. I just need someone witht he know-how. I'm sick of dicking around with this shop. PM me if you have any reccomendations.

I'd be happy to help you do it. Some of it would be new to me, but I did the timing belt/tenioner/water pump/exhaust gaskets last week. Pretty darn close to just swapping the head at that point. Where are you in KC?Originally posted by LJ851kingston is the play by play announcer for this thread.

When are you planning on starting this? Also, what kind of tools do you already have? 32mm slim wrench for the water pump? Impact driver? Qualtiy jack and jack stands? Just want to know what stuff I'd need to bring with me...Originally posted by LJ851kingston is the play by play announcer for this thread.

OK, I work mostly Mon-Friday, so weekends are fine for me.
I can bring a hydraulic jack, jack stands, torque wrench, 32mm wrench, general sockets, impact driver... I think we'll need a set if female torx sockets, but am not positive about that.
Do you have the head gasket set yet? IIRC, the throttle body gasket is NOT included in that set. You'll want a new timing belt & tensioner, too. It's a good time to replace the water pump, distributor cap and rotor while you're in there.

I paid $17.50 for the rotor, and just over $52 for the distributor cap. Bought it from Gutenparts.
Totally missed the stuff in your first post about already having the gaskets, pump, etc. Sorry!Originally posted by LJ851kingston is the play by play announcer for this thread.
