Blown head !

[RegTourist]

Hi the usual story of Bailies in the oil etc engine has done a hard 180k so not really worth changing head etc ....have seen recon engines from Drop The Retro for £600.
Anyone know the guy (maybe he is a member!) or have any other thoughts?
Thanks

what engine is it ?

if it's a 325i I have seen bottom ends with 300k on the clock in perfect order ! only a head change may be needed?

Mine was running like a dream with are badly cracked head. On removing the old head every bore had it's honing marks clearly visible. Just run in nicely at 136,000 miles.If you can find a good complete engine that might be a different story.Try a wanted Ad
