Army, what caused your valve guide to break? That is very unusual.

petecooke, where are you located? I have a good head from my 83 240D, still in the engine, in CT. If you don't want to fix yours, my head is an option. My engine ran good. Did 0-60 in 17 seconds, documented in videos.

Here are some pictures of my engine with a busted valve stem that caused a bit of problem!







So OK these picture show a much wetter combustion chamber but I hope they demonstrate my feelings of built up oil shown in your pictures
