Jack735 - Thanks for the lead to gcd, but unfortunately they haven't one either. He suggested I try 'findapart' & '247spares', so i've posted a request to them both ... Anybody else out there with any ideas - or even an engine?? PLEASE..............

Have you looked on S14.de in the for sale section, or emailing Marcus ?
German ebay ? or how about the usual suspects, Bexleys, ETA, Hartlake etc. http://www.e30bmw.co.uk/ How much are you looking to spend? |

Have you tried contacting a company called FAB Engineering? They specialise in BMW Cylinder heads and i think they supply all the big companies such as german swedish and french, ivor sealerls etc. Their number is 01531 828444 or www.fabautoparts.co.uk I've had a look on their site and they dont list anything, but might still be worth a call....

Thanks bmdevil for the post. Yes I've already spoken to Jason @ FAB, and although he normally passes all his M3's onto Nigel M, there is a possiblity he may be able to help. |

OK - decision day Tomorrow - "should she stay or should she go now"? Couple of engines options - both too much money, but hey, that's life! SWMBO is nagging me for the return of 'her' (whose??) car! |

Just curious, how much is too much money? It would help to have an idea of your budget. Cheers, Jake |

Have you investigated the possibility of having the head repaired? I had a 3.8 M5 head repaired that had dropped a valve, and had to have the combustion chamber & valve seat area totally rebuilt as s/hand heads were unobtainable at the time. I have just finished building an engine for a customer who had nearly the exact experience as you, except his shim wedged under the cam lobe, damaged the £400 shrick cam, holed the piston and ruined the cylinder bore , as well as rendering the head totally scrap. FYI I bought a spares engine - knackered crank - to rebuild his, and have all of the components left - except head - cam carrier and cams ok, so feel free to pm me a needs list. I can put you in touch with the company I used to repair the M5 head.
Regards
Phil |

Simon,
Why not go down the route Alpina did and put in a 3.5 l big six? I am sure you will find one pretty cheap compared to the S14. There must be a few people who have done this on the E30 zone who could help. You could then make a nice coffee table of the S14 for SWMBO to put her coffee on while you are out in her car! Good luck. Kevin |
