I'm helping a friend find a replacement engine for his 85 318i. I see a couple of 84s around. Is this a direct replacement? Meaning that the engine harness, alternator mounts, a/c mounts, water pump, etc are the same. And the transmission attaches without problem?
Will any 84 to 91 be ok to use?
He broke a valve which destroyed the head and poked a hole in the piston. I didn't inspect the cylinder walls. I'm thinking it will be easier to just replace the block and head as a unit.
Any wisdom will be greatly appreciated as I'm not very BMW experienced.
Thanks.
