What a nightmare, the N62 and N63 are garbage and this job will have to be done again in 40,000 miles. High priced vehicles, extremely cheap quality parts.
hey body show up with the engine in the car and see if you can do one single valve stem, engine remover yes very easy, engine in the car is impossible to replace valve stems in hole 3,4,7,8 at intake side
I've got an S63 doing valve stem seals. Valve covers removed. Spark plugs out, injectors out, holes plugged. Began turning the engine (clockwise from the front) and it turned smooth until it reached a hard stop. Looks like it as almost full open on exhaust on cyl 1, almost full open intake cyl 3. Quite puzzling . . . as if valves were hitting or something jamming the chain. Engine was running before teardown. Before pulling more stuff off to get to chain, any thoughts?
It is not a chain installation video. No chain was replaced nor installed. This is just a timing job. To replace/install the chains, u need to remove the timing cover. To remove timing cover, u need to remove cylinder heads (or risk oil leaking at head gaskets when done) AND upper oil pan (or risking oil leaking later). Stupid N63 design and they make the timing chain guides BRITTLE after 100K or so, making this engine cost prohibited to repair.
Video has nothing to do with replacement of timing chains ? Good for setting cam timing tho PS that’s not a crankshaft stop tool it’s a timing tool if you use it to hold crank to do anything else you will damage the timing cover and the tool cliff note from a certified factory trained BMW HEAVY LINE TECH
What are the hours needed to have this repair done both sides- BMW looking for crazy money to repair my 2011 X6 50i 100k miles- Saying 60 hours for the repair- repair is for chains and actuators- I'm shocked-- I should put in a new engine for what they want- looking for guidance on this repair - help appreciated`
It's not an installation. The chain is already in. My question is for a complete chain installation, call it replacement, can you do it with the engine still in the car? I feel not...
I have a question, if the times between the intake and exhaust shafts do not match, is it enough to change the vanos screws? and if I change the bolts, do I have to remove the vanos? do I just unscrew the screws on the lock, replace, set nm and angle and that's it? thank you greetings
Thank you very much.... Interesting watch and very useful. I have a question.. I'm being offered a non-running BMW 650 2012 with n63 engine. The timing chain failed with the car out of warranty. I'm trying to make an educated guess. Do you think the pistons/valves are bent/damaged? What are the chances? I have done several N43 and N13 and in all cases there was no severe damage. New chain, tensioner and guides and all was back to normal. I would appreciate and value your opinion or anyone else with some knowledge.
Hi, i have the same problem, and fault code about Vanos system and not reaching the desired position, have done the work twice, with new Vanos pulleys installed... And the same. Thinking about problem in ECU if just may need programming. Which was your solution? Thanks!
This video should be titled "Removing and installing camshaft phaser adjusters", Timing chain installation is a bit more complicated and daunting task on the N63 engine which has 2 timing chains for bank 1 and bank 2.
What makes this priced at $700+ and 10 times more than what I can find on Amazon? If it is precision, I can see the crank locking tool and the 2 cam locking tools MIGHT have extra play that this AGA might not. I checked my $70 amazon pieces and did not see any play. Please explain to me why I should spend 10 times more. Please don't tell me just because it is better made.
