In Reply to: When did Nikasil problem stop in production? posted by Walter on September 28, 2000 at 22:30:33:


Did any 1995 740i contain the Alusil M60B40 (i.e. the good short block) as the stock engine. I'm hearing that cars built after June 1995 didn't have the Nikasil problem. How can I tell?

TIA

These are the casting numbers to look for :


Nikasil M60B30 1 725 970 or 1 741 212
Nikasil M60B40 1 725 963 or 1 742 998
Alusil M60B30 1 745 871
Alusil M60B40 1 745 872
Alusil M62B44 1 745 873 NOTE, all M62 engines are Alusil.
