Can any 4.8 block from e60 e65 or 7 series fit?

Washington just seriously underestimated work necessary and seriously underbudget.

So, when my crank became difficult to turn, it was likely due to hydrology.

I know exactly when the overheat occurred. I was taking my daughter to visit Bucknell U. And I had to put a gallon of coolant back in due to a leaky water heater valve. I never got an overheat error so I thought it was ok. That was summer 2017.

That engine kept going until Jan 2018 when I noticed smoke from tailpipe after drive thru. I thought it was valve seals but it is a cracked cylinder #1.

I don't think valve seals leak in winter unless they are terrible. So, if you got smoke from tail in winter watch out for the cracked block!!!

Next up.

Pull engine and begin disassembly to transfer to new block.

This will be much easier with engine out of car.

Stay tuned
