Update on my cylinder head problems

[Michael <mike5635@xxxxxxxxx>]

To refresh, I have a 1990 535i.

The car was missing, and oil was seeping into the #1
cylinder.

Head was pulled to find a broken rocker arm on #1
intake!  I took the head to Ben Thongsai in Chicago
this morning, who quickly swapped out the broken
rocker for a good one.  Head going back on this
afternoon.

Interesting note:  Ben said that, while not really
common, rocker arms do break (altho usually the
exhaust side).  When they do, the engine will miss,
and oil will be sucked into the cylinder.  So, if your
engine starts missing, oil gets into cylinder, and you
can't figure it out, it just might be a rocker arm!
