Excellent video, the other way to a line camshaft is look at the bar code numbers on the intake and exhaust camshafts facing upwards towards you. You can also verify with a screw driver on number 1 cylinder.

@Motorcarnut 2 года назад

Yes, but with these engines you have to be precise or you're going to have codes.

@kevinmpe8363 7 месяцев назад

How do you align the crankshaft and the camshafts at tdc when they are not in timing. Without the tc on, did you rotate the camshafts individually to get them to tdc? Did you also do the same with the crankshaft?

@Motorcarnut 7 месяцев назад

Did you watch the whole video? You can put crank just before tdc then rotate each cam making sure there is no binding. You need all the tools to do this correctly or it won’t run.

@kevinmpe8363 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for your reply. Here is my situation. I was replacing one cam. When timing the cams I didn't realise the flexplate pin did not go all the way in. Upon realising that, the the cam timing was out of tolerance angle with the crankshaft as it had not locked. I then locked the flywheel at tdc and rotated the camshafts separately to tdc. Everything aligned but now I have 130e20 and 130f20 codes. I need help

@poomunj 5 месяцев назад

For manual cars would you just leave it in gear with wheels on ground and parking break on? Or is there the same lock in bell housing?

@Motorcarnut 5 месяцев назад

I didn’t come across this problem with a manual transmission so not sure. Can look up locking tool for manual and see if it’s the same

@MartiansChronicle 7 месяцев назад

Great video! Only my car, I just want to check and adjust, if necessary, the timing. So, the VANOS gears, timing chain tensioner etc. will all be in place. After TDC, locking the crankshaft, if the camshaft locking tool doesn't quite fit, is it still alright to use the spanner to move the relevant camshaft a little so the tool fits? With the crankshaft locked, everything still connected, any movement on the camshaft will cause a little movement of the crankshaft or are those movements so small that it doesn't matter? Thanks!

@Motorcarnut 6 месяцев назад

No, that means the vanos gear is stretched. I have a video on that particular situation, this is assuming you lined up everything first and when turning the engine it won’t line up again.

@MartiansChronicle 6 месяцев назад

@@Motorcarnut Thanks for the reply. Are you saying that even if the timing is out i.e. the holes in the metal plates in front of the Vanos units that rotate don't line up with the pins in the timing tool (21:38), the camshaft locking tool should always fit properly?

@Motorcarnut 6 месяцев назад

@MartiansChronicle Yes, watch this video on that problem. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DnaNnbrFYWA.html

@MartiansChronicle 6 месяцев назад

@@Motorcarnut Thanks for that. That was really useful. One to put on my list of what to check at the end.

@joetoken1021 Год назад

I have a clicking sound coming from the exhaust vanos when I am turning by hand to check timing? Is it supposed to do that?

@Motorcarnut Год назад

Yes, that’s normal because there is no oil pressure, but make sure when turning over the engine to check all marks line up slip on the vanos cam lock with the 2 pins it must slide on perfect or one of the cams may be damaged

@joetoken1021 Год назад

@@Motorcarnut thanks so much, I had no idea and could find nothing on it, all cams line up after 10 revolutions by hand, the tools fit back in all location! Thanks again

@Motorcarnut Год назад

No problem

@kevinmpe8363 7 месяцев назад

My pin did not go all the way into the flywheel when I timed my engine. Thus the cams were slightly not in time with the crankshaft. I was getting codes 130e20 and 130f20. I corrected the timing at tdc, but the same error codes won't go away. Help please

@Motorcarnut 7 месяцев назад

Unfortunately you have to re due the timing. These engines require dead on accuracy

@sacred7607 6 месяцев назад

Will the flywheel pin only go in one hole on the flywheel or is there multiple holes it can go into? My cams are at tdc with the lock tool on but the flywheel doesn't line up with a hole by about a half inch

@Motorcarnut 6 месяцев назад

There are other holes but only one that the pins slides into. If it's not lining up timing is off.

@Motorcarnut 6 месяцев назад

Also don't forget the oil pump counter balance shaft pin tool as well.

@sacred7607 6 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for a reply. Ok and what would be the next step if the flywheel pin doesn't slide in? Can I turn the driveshaft or maybe a screwdriver to turn the flywheel till the pin goes in? I also still have cam locking tool in place and cam sprockets/ chain and guides removed. I appreciate you!

@Motorcarnut 6 месяцев назад

@sacred7607 so with the chain off, turn flywheel till pin goes through then lock cams and oil pump pin in place then put vanos gears on. You have to watch the whole video it explains all this.

@PR-pp2jb Год назад

I have just removed the exhaust VANOS unit, but I cannot fit the new one. It almost fits, but not the last few millimeters for a snug fit. It’s like chain doesn’t seem to allow enough slack for it to come on straight. If I try without the chain it fits perfect. The timing chain tensioner is completely removed. Any suggestions?

@Motorcarnut Год назад

You have to have some slack somewhere. When I do them everything free wheels the crank bolt is not tight yet so I can check for smoothness.

@courtneymckenzie2682 2 года назад

When you remove the engine and assembly back in the vehicle do you have to reprogram the vehicle or you can just plug up and start

@Motorcarnut 2 года назад

No, not if it’s the original engine that came out of it

@tecknopopoff 2 года назад

What’s the name of the special tool used in the bell housing to lock the motor in place. I don’t think I came in the kit I purchased

@crissy7503 Год назад

Hello Sr Its me again, so after did evrething I turned the engineand it was about one revolution on the cams and the crankshaft sprocket broke I don't know if I put too much angle torque after torquin to the specs which were, first step 100 NM and then 270 degrees . I would like your input, What could have happened ? I don't think the crankshaft snout was missalingned , you can not miss it when you put it through the crankshaft sprocket and then the oil pum srpocket, any ways I am waiting on a new one but I would likw to know why it happened . Thanks in advance .

@Motorcarnut Год назад

Wait? What broke off? The crankshaft bolt? You put the right torque 100NM then 270 degrees. I know that’s a lot of torque but it’s correct. When you first turned over the engine was there any binding? Did you make sure you removed all the alignment tools? Like the one for the oil pump counter balance shafts?

@crissy7503 Год назад

@Motorcarnut I know what I did wrong, I was just looking at your video, and I noticed that I placed the crankshaft sprocket backward, the lip or the ticker part was facing out not toward the engine, anyway thanks for the prompt response, I really appreciate it

@Motorcarnut Год назад

Ok, no problem. Good luck with it.

@crissy7503 Год назад

Is there any difference between the n20 on a 2013 bmw 328i and 2013 bmw 328i xdrive? The reason is that I found a timing chain kit genuine for 148 And the same kit it's on ebay for 350 But the one that is 148 specify that is from 2013 to 2018 bmw 328i xdrive The car I'm working on is a 2013 bmw 328i base. Any help would be appreciated thanks

@Motorcarnut Год назад

No there isn't. N20 is N20 AWD or not WHEN you are talking about the timing chain kit. Other things are different such as the oil pan etc.

@crissy7503 Год назад

@Motorcarnut Thanks a lot Really appreciate it, I will get this kit for 148.

@mikemastrobattisto1560 2 года назад

I am looking into buying one of these cars that needs an engine replacement. Were you able to remove the engine from under the hood or did it have to go out the bottom? I see you have the car on a lift, I don't have one where I would replace the engine.

@Motorcarnut 2 года назад

I removed it from the top but I took the transmission out first. You can take it out through the top but it’s more work without removing the transmission. This it a pretty big job considering it’s only a four cylinder.

That center bolt has over 500ft lbs and no impact will get it off and shouldn’t be used anyhow. Try to lock flywheel with the tool teeth on engine stand.
