Long story short,engine got red hot,could not stop,now car is dead.Before it shut off I could hear a clanking sound,head or pistons.I will be doing more testing in a few days.Two questions.First,the car restarted a few times but now I have no spark from coil,maybe power stage,amplifier?Also which year b230f will be an exact fit,meaning all wiring,senders,electronics will match the current car besides another 1990 engine.I found a 91 740 engine b230 with 59k on it. Will this be an easy swap.You don't know how upsetting this is.And I just put a new fuel pump and computer in this car!It may take me a while but I have to fix this car.Body black and beautiful,interior tan and like new.Bilsteins,IPD sways,refinished Coronas,new tires,all new bushings.Man this sucks and I only have myself to blame.
Sorry for the rant and thanks for your help.
Nelson
