m50 woes!!!!!!!!!

Post Sun Jul 02, 2006 6:57 pm

had to take the head of my m50 when i spotted crap under the rocker cover thought it was probaly the head gasket went to get it skimmed and was told its a large paper weight the heads cracked between number three exhuast valve and a water jacket and i cant get a decent price for a replacement head

Balls

Is it going to be cheaper to get another engine or replace the head?

Like James says, probably will be easier and cheaper to get a complete engine than trying to find a garaunteed head.
Am I right in thinking the head sets are mega money aswell?

was getting quotes of 400 pounds for a head so thought the complete engine was the best way out will try to get some pics up of the cracked head i have it nice and clean so its easy to make out the crack

Sounds about right. I was thinking about Ã‚£300 for a refurb head with guarantee.
You will need the loom and ECU from the new engine

the guy who sent me the 2 litre could nt get me a 2.5 so i have my money back and no engine finding it really hard to get one if i got one in england would the shipping be crazy for it
