I'd put money on a cracked head.

Could be a possibility.

If you cannot fix it yourself why did you buy it?

I can fix it myself, It would just take a decent amount of time on my own. Was really hoping it was just a HG, but now I'm leaning towards a warped head with the compression test I got.

A warped head is not a big deal. $50 and that's solved. Cracked head is another story.

Any hack can just throw a HG on an overheated motor and call it a day without doing any machine work, but that's not going to solve your issues.

This tends to happen often

Unfortunately. Can't tell you how many times I've seen it happen working at the machine shop. Most people don't understand what happens to metal when it gets hot.

I'd take the whole engine if you part out. Also fog lights. I want a rebuilder for my 1991 318i. thank you. The old man in Mapleton. lol

Possibly selling my current engine plus driveline in the near future.

Some one give him 1k and bail him out of his mistake.

Seriously everything he needs is 15 mins away got some good boge struts less than 10k all around, 318is springs and an 318is exhaust no headers pull the icv and afm and those a clean. Wrenching on the M42 is fun. Retarded how much a spectale this is

No he needs to man up and make it his own. Could 24v it for around a grand.

[AustinK425]

totally I agree, I mean m42 stuff inst hard to find either.

also who cares about the rear flares like he said have some fun with it, I say you go crazy.

[mulletman]

Ugh.



If I owned the car in that picture, I'd sell the wheels, then set it on fire.






Again.






Zing!

talk to the guy on tumblr, pretty nice dude lol

but yeah his garage did catch fire and burn this car in process

[gofredo50]

It's a twenty year old car bro. Suck it up and get to work. Or sell it to someone who will. Parting out that thing would be a damn shame.
