That is exactly what I'm looking for
With that mileage, it should get some work done
Im fine with price
Are you experienced with valve work? If so, let me know what the cost will be - sounds like it will be within my budget for his
Thank you

Thanks for the response
In connecticut
Is the head off?  If so, there should be a production number intake side rear of block
1721464
How many miles?
How much, and how much if you do the valve work?

Engine + Driveline / Production Date Help

« on: October 21, 2013, 10:46:37 PM »

I picked up an M42 as part of the sale of my beloved '98 e36 M3 - running strong after 340,000 miles
Am swapping it into my new project - total restoration of '76 2002

Supposedly 120K on the engine so I'm taking advantage of its being on a stand to do some house keeping
Timing chain, guides, gaskets and profile gaskets all around, including head gasket, water pump, thermostat
Lots of stuff to make sure it runs for a while longer plus some mods to help it run better

Anyway, was told this was a '92
Ordering the timing chain guides, I found that the '92 doesn't have the timing chain deflection rail like I have on my engine
Instead, it has a deflection wheel
Real OEM shows the deflection rail starting 9/93, so I'm thinking my M42 production date must be at least 9/93

Block number is 103034

Any idea how I can find out what I've got??
