Believe it or not... that is where the water pump mounts to the front of the bock on the m20 inline 6 cylinder engine that was in the e30/e28. All that corrosion was internal to the block.

Amen and cheers Andrew. Though the wife has moved on to an e70 diesel. It's larger and gets better gas mileage than an e53. So far, it's been easier to work on than the e53 as well, though it has it's own foibles for sure.
