In Reply to: Engine head and block question posted by John Luna on April 16, 2000 at 19:53:14:

: Our car, a '90 325i, overheated months ago and suspected a blown head gasket. We recently removed the head and found no evidense of damage to the gasket itself. Our concern now is that the head or block may have cracked. We found oil in the radiator and water on the oil stick and suspect that there is water in the oil pan. Before I spend a fortune in magnafluxing the head and/or the block, is it possible to have these symtomps with a blown head gasket? Car has 160k and has had the head replaced once due to a broken timing belt. Thanks in advance.

This may be an obvious question but, Did you check the head to see if it was warped?
