Howdy boys and girls. Long story short. I have a 98 bmw 528i that I got in in a trade. Thought it had the usual failed head gasket but it actually ended up being a dropped valve seat. I haven’t bothered getting a quote for a valve job yet but I’m assuming it will be more expensive than just replacing the head and reseating the valves myself. With that said. Does anyone have a replacement single vanos head for a 2.8 bmw engine? It was built before 09/98. Don’t think that makes a difference with the head overall but throwing it out there.

Standard Auto Wreckers in Niagara Falls always had what I needed when I called for the shop. Give them a call.
