Hey gang, I picked up a 71 Bavaria from an elderly neighbor earlier this summer. The car is in great shape with a beautiful interior and pretty good Polaris Silver exterior.
I bought it knowing that there was some work to be done, he said that he had a bad headgasket and that needed replacing. Well after snagging it from him for a great price I started to do some research and just started to get the inkling that the head instead may be cracked. Well I finally got around to pulling the head off and taking it down to the machine shop and sure enough we've got ourselves a cracked head. So now rather than track down a new head I think I may just get myself a junkyard M30 out of a later BMW and drop that in
Question thread I made(http://www.e9coupe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19911)
So that is my project at hand, I have been a car guy as long as I can remember and worked on a variety of projects over the years but this is my first foray into the BMW world, I look forward to it!
Best,
Blake
