Question Hi, I have a 1994 325is. alot of white smoke is coming from the exhaust..im told by my personal mechanic its a blow head gasket.. My question is ...what kind of problems should i expect if i decide to fix it along with my mechanic....not at the shop
Answer Replacing the head gasket isn't that hard of a job.Make sure that the head is flat before you put it back together.Have it machined it will be worth it.And use new head bolts and get a new timing belt and water pump and replace that while you are there.
