Cylinder head/head gasket blown.

[Jesus325iTouring]

I'm curious as to how many people have head problems,either gasket or actual head problems,so heres a poll to find out.
I've added mileage too,but you might have to state what car and with what miles as there aint enough polls for everything!

[smithy318i]

316 M10 Head gasket after about 150K
Mayo on my 318i after 129K

[Adammcf]

325i Sport.
Cylinder head has just gone porous at 116k.

[320Touring]

Where's the option for those of us with m20b20 rightness? nice thick head (like the owner)

no probs yet

[E30Mark]

318iS head went at 150k well i assumed it was the head.... took the engine out and slipped in a nice low mileage engine, all ok since

[SCOTT325SE]

wheres the option for "no heads or gaskets have gone"

Although, i have head problems...but its nothing to do with my car

[Simon]

@ the people with no problems!
You only vote if you've had probs! And it doesn't include mental problems!

[320Touring]

but I WANT TO VOTE

[SCOTT325SE]

SO DO I!!!

[Simon]

Time for another poll!!

Hands up those who've never had any problems!

My first E30, series 1 Sport, burned out 2 valves... wasn't pretty. 123k on the clock...

Just about!

[Martinaston]

Had an 83 320 that dropped the valves at 180k
Can't say it wasn't expected though as it kept going with one already gone (motorway)
The head was fine though

[Chaos]

wheres the option for multiple problems


(not for me i might add )

i aint had multiple problems

head or head gasget not investigated yet at 204,000 plus miles

other probs were power steering rack, power steering pump
main brake lines that were mot and tank after it was dropped to get at brake lines. and bottom ball joint oh and rad.
wheel bearing that had gone when i bought the car
that it really not bad for a 200k car

320i Touring bought with 107.5k on and one broken manifold stud. Now got 125k on and 3 broken studs. Other than that no 'head issues yet, and still running fine with the aforementioned broken studs.
Is this 320i (or 731 type 'head) rightness???

I do believe it could be, mate, I do believe it could be

My old 318is had a reconditioned head of an E36 fitted in 2002 it lasted a 18months if that and that was because i drove it for 6 months, replaced the gasket and all seemed well, sold it and Matt who bought it had to lump the bill. So tomstickland that car is on it's 3rd head in as many years!!
