pulled the head off this donar euro spec 735i for the 1986 M535i . head looks like its been reco'd at some stage . photo's 17 to 24 on the webshots link.

i did a compression check B4 removing . all cylinders came up to 190lbs quickly except number 1 which read 90lbs .

when i put some oil into cylinder it also came up quicker to 190lbs.

talk to a mechanic he says most likly rings stuck in piston and to take it for a long drive .

when i pulled the head off . all look pretty good . except the No.1 exhaust valve has small crack in it .

maybe the pressure is being lost there .

also the plastic rings that are on rocker shafts . the same one had broken off ,so the rocker arm was sitting over

to one side and hitting the edge of the top of valve stem .

got to use my new hoist to to lift the head complete with manifolds off the block .

block also looks quite good .

might use that block instead of the the one in the m535i .

swapping the E23 camshaft for a e28 one i have .

getting to lobes rebuilt and repolished .

the other photo's you see in the web page are of a destroyed E28 535i engine . worn camshaft ,broke valve head off .

(engine given to me for spares )so will be using a valve and some rings from it for my head .

pics of head ,block etc ,,,

this head was recently redone . i get the headgasget set from euro marketing or euro-italia (they import the stuff ,valves ,pistons ,gasgets ,rings etc ) between $160 and $280 depending on brand . not doing new bolts this time . talked to a few guys ,they say not nessasary for M30 block .

yes thanks for the use of the manual . must send that back to you (with the parts you wanted).

dont worry i have it in the box . i use photo copies in my garage .
