I have a 1995 E90TLEO, crossflow, flatback that has water in the lower left cylinder.
Started as what I thought was a cylinder head cover gasket leak. It kinda was. So I replaced it and fired up the motor on muffs. It was still leaking, I re-checked the torque and it was in spec at 80 inch pounds.
So I pulled the plug and started it. It appeared that there was no water coming out of the cylinder.
So I took the head off, before taking the head off the piston was near the top of the stroke and I noted water in the sparkplug hole.
So I took the head off and found no noticeable cracks in the head and it didn't appear that the headgasket was blown.
Any suggestions on where and how to check for cracks besides magnafluxing before I buy a reman powered?
Thank you Jeff.
