After 4000 km the head gasket gave up. Not sure yet the reason for it failing. I had an minor overheat accident after a thermostat failure. Not sure if that is part of the reason.
So I´ve bought a 731 head, which my friend has been preparing for me, checking it with the BMW manual for clearings, etc. The head is in good condition, probably low milage.

The head is now going to the machine shop to be milled off.

Then I hope it will be change of head before winter and storage.

A few pictures from the head I bought.

A minor update.

My head is being prepared for installation, the 200 head is off. My friend has checked the head for leak, and it´s all good.
I´m abit exited for the 731 head, I wonder if I will notice the difference in power compared to the 200 head.

Hopefully I get my car ready for 1.May, as this is start of the veteran car season. 1.May is big happening in Norway, all sorts of cars is gathering at different locations all over Norway, to mark the start of spring.

Happy Easter everyone









Checking for leak.
