mikeys toy[RL] Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) looking for a g63b engine for mish truck an came across a familiar auto trans bolted to an engine block sure enough it had a "teg" cast into it. i couldn't identify it (upside down, no head) when i flipped it, i found it was a 6 cylinder 5m was stamped in the id plate now this engine isn't very long....i think it would fit in a 7 series.....

Super Jamie Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 i think you're all being too harsh change the head gasket every 100,000km and a 7M just keeps on truckin and the dude from zoom is making 300kw at the wheels from his 7M-GTE Quote
Teddy Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 Bahaahahahah.. Oh damm thats So true... Quote
Nitephyre Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 meh, so change it with a metal one or whatever it is that people do and :D Quote
Super Jamie Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 the problem is the head, not the gasket Quote
dingo ke55 5k Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 The Falcon SOHC 6 have the same problem the alloy heads heat and cool diffrently to the cast iron block causing distortion, allowing the head gasket to blow out. A sure tell tale sign is coolant dripping between the block and the head very common problem. That aside the M series as Super Jamie pointed out aint bad as long as they are maintained. Getting good power out of them isnt hard either :D Quote
