Hi every one i have a problem i have 98 318ti with a blown head gasket took the head out and i was told is was bad. so i went ahead and bought one from craigslist well to find out the block or engine i have is from, not sure but i was told from a 95-96 maybe, well i put it together i had to replaced a few parts like timing cover and cam sensor.

the problem

i got the car running but i have a miss in cyl one, i was told the head was in good shape. no compresion dead cyl..
im thinking of taking the head off and send it inn to get it check. but what are the chances of the block been bad.

i remember the guy telling me that the reason why he was saling was cuz engine was cracked in cyl 1.. maybe the head is bad?

is the head a 98 compadable with the 94-95-96-97?



thanks for your time im lost. what to do?
