1999 SF BAY: S52 motor, blown Headgasket, good otherwise $1000 OBO

[Artem]

I swapped another M3 engine into my TI, to simplify work this was my old one - blew a headgasket (started leaking coolant into the combustion chamber) - last time it was completely apart which was about 5k miles ago, everything was replaced and bottom end looked great. Looking for $1k OBO, at the very worst this has a set of $500 cams and a very solid M3 block - do not want to part it, need gone as a single piece.


$1000 OBO, pick it up in SF!

There are multiple ways one can go about this - the cams and everything else is good and is in one piece. This is an upgrade for any M50/52 engine. Gives you a large power increase with a stock M3 ECU with a 2.5L or a 2.8L engine.

Also, if you like, the motor can live again - one can either machine the motor and use a thicker headgasket + use as-is for a turbo project, or use a slightly thicker tolerance fit headgasket gasket for a regular normally aspirated build, due to an inability to machine the head on an S52 motor a lot (none is the factory recommended amount), and this one had about 0.004-0.010 inches machined off of it if i gather it correctly.

I need this gone relatively quickly - I want it out of my mechanic's shop and some money to give to him to partially cover the expensive mess that was this project.


Cheers,
Artem
