Will the head from a 86 325E fit a 91 325i? Thought I just had a bad head gasket but it turned out to be a cracked head.
Thanks for the help

Yes. But why would you do that. ETA head is completely different combustion chamber design, smaller intake ports, 4 journal cam and single valve springs. Would not be ideal for an I at all. It would restrict everything to being an ETA, If not worse.
Get another I head.
it won't work unless pistons smashing into the head counts as working
Oh yeah true, 325 pistons lift above the block, where as normal ETA ones are flat.
Scrap what I said above then, except the part where I said get a I head.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have a 325e I could get the parts from if they were compatable.
I'll start searching for a replacement head.
i'm guessing the timing belt broke so you prolly got a few more problems with it.

no they can come from a number of things, over heating and other stresses are the normal culprits

Yes it is just a cracked head. I picked up what I thought was a good deal on a 91 vert. My daily driver was a 86 325e. I know most of the engine parts would not be compatable but there was always hope. I'll be driving the E just a little longer.
