Hi guys,
I've been reading around this forum for a couple of weeks and figured it was time to join. Anyway just wondering if anyone has any experience with M44 blocks warping. I bought a 1998 318ti with what seemed to be a blown head gasket. Ended up that the head was warped but OK otherwise. Got it back from the machine shop but just figured I'd grab some knowledge from anyone offering before I slap it back on there. I've put a straight-edge on the block and it "looks" ok but I was checking if any of you guys have additional experience on this subject. Thanks.
