Reposting this as the original buyer fell through, I forgot about having the thing, and I recall some of you fighting for it.
Parting out a 91 318is that we picked up for some suspension / body components.
I don't do anything with M42's so we just want it out of here.
Engine did run, however it was certainly down a cylinder just judging from the noise. Once it was warm it did run better and seemed to drive around without any issues.
Engine was replaced and is not the original from the car, unsure of mileage however the 318is had 285K on the odometer.
Here is the motor itself, yes the valve cover will be tossed back on if anyone wants the thing.
From left to right, Cylinders 1 - 4
Cam gears are pointy
Compression test when cold was
Cylinder 1 = 50PSI
Cylinder 2 = 80PSI
Cylinder 3 = 224PSI
Cylinder 4 = 240PSI
Cylinder 1 shot up to 90 with a squirt of oil in it
Cylinder 2 shot up to 180 with a squirt of oil in it
Cylinders 3 and 4 did not change.
Engine includes a nearly brand new Bosch alternator (not that Autozone crap), entire electrical harness, DME, Airbox with AFM. Also included is the Getrag 240 which shifted fine. Not sure on clutch condition but it did not slip.
Probably a good rebuildable motor.
Located in Gig Harbor and asking $200 for the lot.
