It's nice really. Being on a French car forum we see f*cked up/broken stuff every day, but it's nice to see something that's f*cked in a new and interesting way...

reminds of me of time a SAS bloke brought his BMW in (with the AAs help) after doing a service himself... he filled the oil...to the brim...26litres in all. everything was full of oil. inc the exhaust...so once cleared out we started it in the yard and created the biggest smoke screen ever! mega lols Wishes for more power...

If its a compact darren?you should be ok deffo get new head bolts tho mate (no brainier tbh) the problem is ally block and head they tend to strip the threads in the block. Luck of the draw sometimes mate

Cracked head under the cam possibily. Apparently there is a waterway that runs under there and the castings can be quite poor

Will probs just get a re man head / new bolts and gasket, depends what owners intentions are!
As for how long its been driven, god knows...quite alot...just keeps filling it with water before each drive, and driving on, hence its just ufll of it / running out the sides, it really is a mess | Dyno Power Runs & Steady State Facilities Available, Just Ask Anytime |

Wow I never thought this could happen. So that's why you shouldn't drive with a busted head gasket even if you can prevent the engine from overheating by topping up the water. I never thought of anything like this ocuring from such an innocent act such as topping the water up.

Found problem.
Was removing head and found one bolt was missing, and after a bit of internet research id already discovered its common for the bolts to snap in the block, so wasnt suprised at all to find a bolt snapped below flush in the bottom end. Cue an evening of drilling / stud extracting, can only try, bmw piece of shit!! | Dyno Power Runs & Steady State Facilities Available, Just Ask Anytime |

What a head bolt? Looking at the amount thats ended up there, it looks like there should be a 1" hole somewhere!
