Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've put high resolution pics up in the album: http://picasaweb.google.com/peterloron/M3Head The head gasket and block surface look great. My dad put the VANOS back together last time following the directions in the 101 Projects book. It's possible that the idle issues are VANOS, but aside from the rough idle, the engine runs good...power is there and it is smooth. No VANOS codes in the OBD system. As far as I know, the head was pressure tested cold. I'm going to be contacting the shop today to check into hot testing. If the white crap on the head is an indication of a problem, then it is systemic since all cylinders are affected. I'm struggling to understand how a leak in the block or head would affect all chambers like that. I'm trying to decide what to do at this point. My choices seem to be: 1. Put a new head on it and hope that the issue is the head. If it's the block, then I've just wasted money on the gasket and at least some on a new head. 2. Put a whole new engine in there. If the problem was in the head, then I've just wasted $2K+. Unfortunately my dad and I don't have time to tear the engine apart and rebuild it with a donor block. -Pete KMS- Brett Anderson wrote: > The photos of the head are not good enough to help determine anything. > > Rough idle - How did you set up the cams/vanos? > Cylinder head - was it crack tested at operating temperature?
