I finally got around to starting this job yesterday. I put the 750i on the driveway to make room for my 126.
All went quite well... My heart sunk when I was pulling the intake though, and saw Victor Reinz gaskets, So I knew someone had already been in there.
I pulled both heads, and there was evidence of mayonnaise on several of the head bolts from both heads.
Each head gasket was a different brand, one Reinz and one Elring.
Bores of the cylinders all look like new.
As of yet, I only checked one head for flat, and it wasn't!
About half of the head bolts had already been helicoiled, with 10mm inserts! Needless to say, i'll be pulling them out and doing them all with the correct length ones.
I only had to take the drill and easy outs to two bolts in total, the small ones holding in the fuel injectors, so not bad.
