ok my car its a 1995 540/6 , i just got it this past week end with no pass records. the car has a idle and it shakes a lot when is on nutral, not a lot of power on low RPM's. Today i did a compression test everything has good compression. Does that mean that i still have a NIKASIL block thats not bad yet or it that i new regular fixs like plugs , valve cover gasket, intake manifold gasket etc. and the car will be up and running like new? im not sure i just neeed some anwers . thanks a lot

Intake gaskets. Do them.

Just replied to your PM, but I doubt it's the Nikasil at fault. Wouldn't hurt to get a leakdown test at a reputable shop though.

I do think there is a vaccum leak somewhere. Possibly intake gaskets, as mentioned.
