So, I am prioritizing projects on the new ride... I was going to address the suspension first, but the coolant looked suspicious so I flushed that, it's back to it's nasty self. Here's a pic: and it's not oil, but I'm thinking exhaust gasses???
(The car still pulls pretty strong) But I am thinking I am in need of a new head gasket. However, this head also has a crack in the top near the valve cover... So at this point it makes sense to replace the whole head.
I am pondering my options; and it appears it would just make sense to swap out a whole engine. As long as I can find a solid one??
Anyone familiar with this motor? Or anyone have alternatives?
Secondly: Would anyone in the area be interested in making a few bucks to do this? I only have an outdoor carport (and I've only helped swap an engine once)... but for the right person I'm sure it would be relatively simple...
Edit- also looking at Bimmerheads. Anyone have a line on a solid head locally?
