What a job. Good to know my N55 will be ok considering how much I baby the maintenance and always let it warm up before I get on it. I never really drive it fast like a lot of people do so I am sure I will get many more years of enjoyment out of it. :)
Coming from just getting that sprocket back on and YES It was definitely way way way harder than it looks and I celebrated the same way when I got mine on 😂
One small note, tangs on bearings are for locating them not for retaining them rotationally speaking. I was a little surprised as I though they served both purposes but that is straight off the information included in a set of King bearings produced in the last few months.
Good diy for the most part, however the oil pump removal and installation seems like it was filmed and done in a rush. “Be methodical with your movements” doesn’t really mean anything and when tightening how was the sprocket locked? Mine just loses tension if I try and tighten it.
I have an n55 motor(m235i) and due to change my bearings, been told its good to upgrade the oil pump to m4/m3 pump, is there any massive diffrance between them two?
yes of course its a completely other system with a sucking pump, but why would you want to do this if you dont track the car or drive it really hard with donuts and drifts?
Also wanted to mention during the oil pump install it’s stated “10nm and 180 degrees for all the oil pump to bed plate bolts” ,but everyone else’s diy says only the long bolt get 180 degrees and the rest get 90. Did I just mess up my install by following this?
Welll I mean if they’re all 10nm an 180 degree rotation for all of them really shouldn’t be that bad considering it’s not even that tight , but idk I’m not a tech …lmk if you found any answers
@@puresyre2051 well I saw another video where they broke just with the specified torque, mine has been in for about 5k miles now with no issues, I boroscoped the oil pan and all bolts are still in tact and in there so I’ll just let it be. my master tech also said as long as the didn’t snap on install they’ll be alright
