Hello zoners!
Im abit confused with what spec my engine is as I am researching on how my engine would be converted into a 2.7.
I understand I have a b25 head - but cant work out what the block is as ive searched for 27K89 and cant find nothing.?
Heres the pic....

Yes you have a 325i head, the engine code number is near the bottom of the dipstick on a machined flat area.

Having said that the crank could have been changed. The only sure way is to whip the sump off and check

Cheers for the pointer - Il have a look in the morning.
I just got confused thinking the 27K89 meant it was a 2.7 eta bottom end which I highly doubted after looking at the wiki guide of building a 2.7 as it points out it uses 27 6KA.
Whipping the sump off would mean draining the oil

thats not the engine number, the engine number is next to the sump, below cylinder number 2, inlet side.
