Hi guys,

As you would be aware by reading my posts, I've been stripping my M20 down and I've just got the cylinder head back from the engineering place after a pressure test. the Hex-Bolt that snapped off had fired down through the cylinder head it's self and made a hole in it. Cylinder head is a right off. In all honesty, I don't know what to do..

I contemplating a new engine. I have found this H23 Hartge 2.3ltr M20 from an E21 online. Can anyone tell me if this will fit with my current standard transmission? And if so, Will I encounter any problems actually getting it in there?

I appreciate anyone's help,

Daz

That REALLY is bad news Daz... I was right about the bolts but i wouldn't have thought of that much damage unless they were shot for quite a while !!

what about a recon head?

I'm waiting on a few quotes for a recon head. What do you think of the Hartge engine? It came out of an E21 3 series but that shouldn't really matter right?

I suppose if you get the ECU with the engine, then there should be no probs, eh?

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave, Just an update and I think you may be right. Went out and gave it a few revs when cold, nothing. Let it warm up and there was a loud “shoooo”. I’ve attached a photo of where the sound was coming from. Going to get it looked into but do you have any idea of what it could be? First BMW, always had vag cars so engine are a little different to what I’m used to

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave
