320 e46 does'nt want to start

[lowka]

They have sorted out all the starting issues and I think they did it at a reasonable price as well the throttle and power feels a lot better now,just the cruse control and the headlight motor's doesn't work now.

All sorted out,yay!!! finaly!! :joy:

Not anymore think I have bought the only f/a(falling apart) e46.Think I have a blown head gasket this time hoping to do compression tests tomorrow.

Does any one know what the psi reading should be for it?

 

[lowka]

Finally did the test and piston 2 140psi to the other being +-170psi,put some oil in and jumps to 170psi.
OUCH! so rebuild will post some diy's as I go on.
This gives me a good reason to replace the Clutch and mod the head.

why not stroke it out instead?

 

[lowka]

That sounds like an awesome idea,any idea where I can get the parts and what it would cost.

Im not sure what parts you need... the whole job normally costs about 20k, but it will cost you much less because you are already rebuilding the engine...

go have a look on realoem to see what parts are different on your car compared to the larger displacement engines...
