head gaskets

[dodgydodger]

right, ment to be doing a head gasket on a 325i tourer (cnt spell)
have done loads of head gaskets in my time, but never on straight 6 bmw.

have been told by a few people that they are realy easy to do, but sum1 has told me that u cant get them skimed? and also summit about fucking up the compression? sounds like crap to me but i tought ild ask if there is a problem with them? any tip etc for doin the head gasket?

I'd check your head on the 2.5 first-look for the telltale oil/mayo combo

the 885 head has a habit of cracking, more often that rather than a headgasket
