I second that. 1969 was a bad year for those engines. Cylinders will go egg shaped in less than 100k. I'm not sure if you can sleeve those engines. Unless it has had a short block or an engine swap, I would walk away from that one. If you can come up with a good engine from a 74~76 240D, that would make a great car, but those engines are not easy to find.
