It turns out that the block had crack in it behind one of the pistons, only discovered after the head gasket work had been done!! Another engine has been sourced,basically costing more altogether than buying another X5. And I thought V8's were bulletproof. My first and last BMW I reckon. ........ Anyway thanks for the reply

Newbie in desperate need of a 2002 4.6is engine block or full engine ( engine code M62B46). Are there any members out there who can possibly help as they seem rarer than hen's teeth......... any help would be appreciated
