BMW E34 525i M50B25 Head Removal Full Process | Cracked Head | RIP?

You can use this video as a tutorial as it shows full walkthrough what it takes to remove m50 head. Reassembly video will be in later.
Sadly my E34 525i head of m50b25 engine cracked on cylinder 3 exhaust valve to coolant passage, and its not weldable or will be too expensive to fix current head. enjoy the video, comment on how you think I could improve. Don't forget to like and subscribe if you find my videos enjoyable

I went to resurface my M50B25TU head and a shop told me they saw a crack in cylinder 3 where the valve seats are but it was hidden from all the carbon that was on it. So I’ve been working on a junk head wasting my time and money on it. Still had to pay the guy even though the head was junk at that point. So I had to search for a clean head. And found a nice fully restored one for $880 but I had to drive 2 hours for it. Where I live, finding a 1738400 vanos head is like looking for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. A shame how such a tiny hairline crack compromises the whole head itself. Head gaskets are a expensive job and having a cracked head just doubles the cost. But having a cracked iron block? Man, I’d just throw the car in the garbage bin at that point. Even though it’s easier to get the lower block where I live, just the whole process of dealing with replacing the iron block is a nightmare itself.

I realize this is a 2 yr old thread. Same happened to mine years ago and now once again, both due to overheating. The #3 chamber is the most susceptible to cracking exactly where your was. Mine was cracked there as well. They can be repaired but have to be done properly. That's what I did with mine. Anyway, 11 yrs later and I'm back at the same situation again.

Hi Arnold, I went across your e34 525i vids and really enjoyed it.
What's up with your head crack issue
now? I like the color you painted the BMW a lot and would like to see how it's getting rebuild. I would give this head to some engine rebuilder to get it welded.

That sucks! did the engine overheat?

[@SampShop]

Sadly yes. One time but not even in red zone. It overheated Cuz all the coolant was out thro exhaust. It smoked a lot though. I thought that it's oil trapped in exhaust after I filled full engine to unseeze it but now I know the real problem
