While in the process of choosing and engine, I tried to pick one that looked good, but also learned about its history. I ended up looking specifically for 6 cylinders inline from BMW mainly because of the form factor (long enough and perfectly flat) but also because I like the brand, and because it’s an engine which performances were acclaimed all these years. The current generation (M54) is used in most powerful BMWs, and its sport version (S52/S54) powers the legendary M series. I ended getting really lucky on Craigslist, and found a pair of identical M52: it was produced at the end of the 90s, which is when BMW moved from cast iron blocks to aluminum, the latter being much lighter which is important, because an engine is heavy. Depending on how many parts are still in it (camshaft, pistons) it can be several hundred pounds. You will need a friend or two to help you carry it, and presumably a very sturdy dolly.
Low engine oil levels can cause a burning oil smell and engine damage if not addressed promptly. Transmission fluid leaks can contaminate and cause a burning oil smell, leading to overheating and damage. Overheating engines from low coolant levels or faulty systems can result in burning oil smells. Valve cover gasket leaks allow oil to escape onto hot engine parts, creating the burning oil smell. Malfunctioning PCV valves can lead to oil leaks and engine performance issues, causing a burning oil smell.

Check your brakes — wet brakes typically lose their grip. Before turning the car off, tap the bakes a few times to help dry them out.
You can ruin your car quietly with other elements like Bleach and wrong fuel in the car gas tank. These activities always help you to destroy a car quietly.
Adjusting a valve requires you to understand what Valve Clearance is. It’s the gap between the rocker arm and the valve.
I strongly suggest you go and see it before you buy it. If possible, turn the crankshaft to see if the pistons move freely, if still in there. Make sure its in a good enough shape that you can take it apart fully (you probably only need the engine block, so maybe you can get the seller to give you a better price for only that part, and let him sell the rest separately or you can do it yourself! That way you can keep some of the parts for other projects. Some people also use pistons to make feet for the table.
