Cylinder Head Numbers

[jrhaile]

I got this cylinder head that has the cams out of it and the cylinder head reads "SB" and I can't read the rest... This is supposed to be from a 98 m3 with the cams and I wanted to make sure that this is correct. it has the correct valve cover and also had the ///m oil cap with it too. also m3 vanos but I wanted to make sure..

also anyway to repair a "Grooved" cam?

call a local machine shop about the grooved cam. you might have to get them to look at how extensive first.

i just had the head off of a 325is for a valve job.......i know this......pretty sure it goes...
from the front now....3-2-1-4-5-6 (i may just be stoopid right now though)

and a grooved cam sounds like its time for a new one. if cams are not perfectly balanced.......well, stuff shakes like a getto cardboard E-class made out of a radio flyer wagon going down the rocky driveway trying to run from ur aunts chickens........
ummmmmmm,,,,,,,what?
