Casting number for head (318i) ?
« on: October 05, 2008, 03:15:42 PM »
Hey everybody!!!
    Just wondering if anyone happens to know the casting number off a 318i head, (91 e30 m42, of course!) without going and taking it off and looking.:rolleyes:, or knows where on the head it is, aprox. The head shop down the steet has a couple, but I'm hoping to find out if they have one that will fit before I take mine off. Debating going for the full on rebuild, or just freshen it up a bit. Money will probably make the final decicion though;) Thanks for any help and advice ( which is always welcome :rolleyes:). Wish me luck !

:psorry,
you may not able to see unless you take out the cylinder head. I just took out mine and bought the used cylincer head. Mine is 464. I don't know if some one will able to determine without taking out the cylinder head.:):rolleyes:

Thanks Sakukurata. It was a long shot, but if someone was going to know it was going to be someone from "The Club". I have faith in the mighty guru's that roam these pages!!!  Do you hapen to remember where the 464 # was on your head? It would atleast give me a place to start. Thanks again.

Hi there, like said above, it´s not possible to see it unless taking the head off. It is located on the driver´s side, at cyl#4, right under the fitting for the hose that connects the head to the heater core.
I can post a pic if you want. My casting is: 1721464
I hope this helps!

:D It never ceases to amaze me how much everyone here knows !:D
  Again, I humbly thank you "hesgone2fast".:p Thats exactly what I was looking for, and definatly helps !  As for the pics, I love pics, but I have already got more than I need, and I would feel guilty asking for more:rolleyes: You have been a great help. I'll update the thread as I go along with the rebuild and let everyone know how its going. I'll figure out how to post pics too.  :D
P.S.   Feel free to throw out the love, or any advice, comments, or anything else you want.
P.P.S.   Please let me know if I should post this here, or somewhere else. I don't want to mess up my first thread.

:D IT'S OUT !!!  :D
 Well it took all of two days, 87 pictures, and a whole lota faith, but she's out!  :D   Not too bad, all said and done, (would have gone faster with a helper) but I'm happy with it. :) All in all, she looks great.  Nothing obvious anyways. Shop will tell me tommorrow what I'm lookin at, but I'm fairly confident she's ok. Now i just have to remember how it all goes together. :eek:  ( :o Thats when I'll probably have more questions. :o )
  I'll post some pics tommorrow, once I figure that out, just to show off my baby.  :rolleyes::p:rolleyes:
