Nice work my friend, I am currently doing the same job. Accectly the same. Only thing is I would not put spark plugs and injector coils, first start to check oil pressure and get the oil everywhere! Important before initial start Good luck
Well i just had to do the sump off job again because i saw from your video that the oil pump was timed up 180 degrees different! So very glad i found these before i fired her up! Aldo now toying with idea of removing vacum pump to give that a flush through like you did. Thats if i can get at it now easily with engine been back in. Sooner do it to remove any crud after what i saw come out of yours. My filter wasnt bust though so might be fine anyway but if i can get to it im pulling it. 👍
You mean the balance shaft timing right? Make sure you check the powder coat is not flaking off as this causes oil pump control valve to stick. Awesome video mate 👍👍
Top video BimmerZen! I can see many similarities with the N46 engine, but not the same. It has beena year and half since fixing the valve stem seals on my N46 with your 3d printed tools and everything is still working fine! Wish I had the new 0,6nm tool, my mind blew seeing that! As I promised, the video of replacing the valve stem seals with your tool is in editing process right now, and it will be released in week or two, I"ll meniton you and review the tool. Keep an eye on my channel for the video 👀
Awesome work man. Im really stressing now because i have a feeling i installed the oil pump wuth the vanes the other way. Ibused the locking tool but 180 degrees difference. I cant 100% remember. Im gonna have to peep through tbe sump if i can see but i think the oickuos gonna cover it. If only i had videod it like you 🙂 oh crap if its 180 different am i going to have to pull it back out? Thats a kick to the nuts if so. Also didnt flush out the vacuum like you did. I didnt have nesty oil like you as filter ok. Heez hope im bot going to gave to pull it again. Plus ive done the crank bolt now too. 🤢
Hmm just looked at janis video that i used at the time (he did an n43 rebuild too) and his is oriented same as you so maybe i did it right. There is a small gap in pickup case that you can see tbe balance shafts though - will have to get torch in to see if i can double check. Fingers crossed.
Should the Crank hub be lightly oiled by installation to the seal ? Any leaks, yet ? Some say it wont be proper sealed without the fancy used BMW loctied with primer.. thanks
Hallo BimmerZen, ich baue einen N43B20 komplett neu auf. Hast du irgendwelche Ratschläge für Dichtungen, Motorschrauben, Kettenspanner usw. Sollte ich komplette Kits oder separate Kits kaufen? Ich sehe, du verwendest elring.
Full rebuild kit would be best, otherwise buy kits from elring (gaskets, head bolts), swag (chain kit), febi bilstein, ... oem bmw conrod and oil housing bolts...
