im aware of that, more interested in whether its worth doing or not. i've been tempted, i have a late m42 (6mm) head in mine and considered doing it.

My Engine runs fine, aside from the need for a new throttle cable...so i dont know if you need one for sure because my m42 was an earlier model...there wasnt one in there when we took off the head, so we didnt put one in.

Better to drag this up from the dead rather than start a new thread.

I have an m42 head off a 94 318i on a 91 318is block. Do you guys think I need the valve? Is the spot that needs to be drilled for it needed on the block or on the head?
