So i'm at a bit of a cross road and looking for opinions on what other people would do in my situation.
To make a long story short i somehow melted the Piston in cylinder #4 in my car. The car has boltons and runs on E85 blend / meth in the summers but logs always looked good and no codes. Best bet is something happened to cylinder 4 when i got injector related misfires and its been a ticking time bomb since.
Car runs but burns oil and misfires a bit. The car is not currently being driven. I'm trying to figure out 1 of 3 options
1. Sell the car as is, take a hit and move on.
2. buy a used shortblock and mate it to my existing head (assuming its in good condition)
3. take a gamble on a used engine and swap turbos / injectors over
quotes for doing a straight motor swap have been between 1500-3000. I don't have access to a garage and my comfort level ends around doing a valve cover swap or installing downpipes.
The car is pretty clean and a fairly hard to find combo. It's a 2010 E90 LCI N54 with rear wheel drive and manual trans. Sport package, cold weather package and heated steering wheel. also has a msport front. The car only has 85k on it and has 3k on new turbos and injectors from the extended warranty.
My original plan was to just enjoy the car with stock turbos for another year or two then pick up a F80 or F82 but now i'm not sure what to do.
