Hey guys,

I think my engine has retired. I tried cranking her up after sitting for about 8 months and no luck. I did a compression test on one of the cylinders and it's at 30. I have done overhauls before but just do not have the time to do so now.

I am looking for an M60b30 for a 1994 530i 5spd. would it be worth it to replace the motor or just get the heads and piston done? it is a nikasil block with 160,000 miles on it.

Any feedback will help. Thanks,
