Looking for someone who can time vanos

To date I have replaced every hose on the engine, every gasket. At this point the problem is not a vacuum leak. I took it to a guy who repairs BMWs. He told me its either the head gasket, the head (antifreeze causing misfire), or a bad fuel injector(s) fouling out the plug(s). The head and head gasket were just replaced, so I’m hoping to rule those out. I’m leaning toward a fuel injector. I was just tinkering with the engine and cylinder 5 was not firing at all. I pulled the coil and tested it for spark. It was in 100% working order. I even swapped it with another working coil to be sure. When I unplugged the coil on cylinder 5, the engine ran the without change, meaning the injector must be fouling out the plug. All of the injectors spray fuel. I replaced the plugs also, I have 2 new sets, so the plugs are not the problem.

To date I’ve replaced:

spark plugs
Both pre-cat 02 sensors
valve cover gasket set
all vacuum hoses
hose from intake boot to ICV
intake manifold gaskets
MAF
all new hoses/hose clamps and connector on M50 intake
New o-rings on fuel injectors
head
head gasket set

That’s all that really relates to the misfire problem, that I can think of.

Does anyone have any E36 fuel injectors they are willing to sell? I’d rather replace the injectors before I tear the engine apart to replace a leaking head gasket again.

swap the number 5 injector with another one that doesn’t currently have an issue…

Plugs will tell you if it’s antifreeze.

Have the guy pressure test the cooling system

I may have a single stock S52 injector here you can have. Will have to check later.
