do your timing chain

[bmwm42]

it would need new timing chain guide rails probably sprockets and that shit is going to add up fast about 300 without the sprockets i would need help with getting tdc aligned and locked in place etc

[Knoepfler]

i'll sell you one. 185k ran great when i pulled it. $200

[bmwm42]

what all does it come with do you have pics of the internals guides sprocket im interested

[e34croak]

Do the chain would be my advice as well. Excellent learning experience and it's probably the cheaper option as well. I'm sure there are people that could help you get it aligned. A friend and customer just came to my work and bought everything needed to do the complete job and it was about $400. For everything.
Just a thought.

Sprockets rarely go bad unless you had some serious chain slippage. Start browsing M42club plenty of info on this job.
