I have to say $199 is pretty steep at a first glance, but I think that the peace of mind knowing that you're preventing a possible catastrophic and expensive failure makes it more than worth it. Just ordered mine.

@KiesMotorsports 3 года назад

When we first talked about doing it, we thought about having them made in china, but wanted to have the best product we could, so we had them engineered and manufactured right here in the USA. Quality goes waaaay up, but unfortunately, the price does as well. Needless to say, it's an incredible insurance policy for the cost!

@@KiesMotorsports So I could use this instead of the full crank hub wtih 4 pins replacement? I have to replace my stock turbos because I'm having noise issues with them. My BMW dealer told me I need new turbos (just out of warranty, 4yr and only 16K miles!). they do make a loud rattle noise on start and when I cross a certain rpm range. I figured I could upgrade to something better like PureTurbos or Vargas GC since stock turbos are 6K for the pair anyway. But after doing research, I found out about the crank hub issue with the S55, especially on higher HP modified cars and that scares me. Any advice?

@RodTemplen 3 года назад

I don’t know how this was accomplished without removing the fan and fan shroud. I tried for hours and it is really difficult. Once the fan shroud was removed (which is also a bit of a pain especially if you have a 6AT) it was simple access. One note do not drop you harmonic balancer/crank pulley like I did and take a chip out of it as it is $500-600 for a new one…

@gilbertkhoshaba3956 3 года назад

This is cool but if you make sure your car is not leaking coolant or oil and you’re not going to have the belt coming off 🙂

@johnungvarsky8875 3 года назад

I would have said the same with my older cars, but the engine bay on my N55 is so cramped that I could easily miss a leak. It seems like a $199 insurance policy for my $5,000 engine, especially when I can replace the tensioner, belt, etc at the same time.

Hi mate, Love watching your videos, they are explained perfectly, i need your help pls, my S55 M4 engine is leaking oil from valve cover gasket, its not heavy or dripping, you can just smell it sometimes.. do you have a video on how to do it DIY, if not could you do one or explain if its possible to do as DIY, i have most tools that are required, thanks in Advance, any help would be appreciated

@dougnbodie 2 года назад

Can this happen on an M57 Diesel engine? I shredded my AC Belt (not the main Serp) and a mechanic said that he would have to open my engine and the oil pan to verify that the seal wasn't broken.....I picked my car up!

@ced10311 3 года назад

That happened to me. 335i stick shift. Belt went inside my engine and it went all the way down to the oil tank, eventually got stuck into the filter funnel. Huge mess. I bought all the parts and fixed it myself. About 4 days by myself. Changed the head engine gasket as well since you have to open it up. I didn't add that cover since I didn't know about but I learned to keep the belt checked and dry. You can't go wrong with that. It takes some patient to work on that of you don't have a lifter. Thank you for you video. I also have am m4 and I have to install the hub crank myself since ppl are scared of that major flaw bimmer engineers messed up. I love bimmers and own 5 of them but damn. They are turning into a huge pain in the ass.

No need to remove the fan, especially since the coolant lines get in the way. Underneath does give you better positioning when locking in the guard and starting the bolts on the harmonic balancer.

The belt winds up on itself, and is PUSHED IN, and then flung up into the valve cover by the chain, or worse yet, chewed up by the chain! Please explain it accurately!

But that was mainly if the part would turn. So is it advised to do both things?

RK AUTOWERKS looks amazing but I've not heard much about them. SSR Performance has been talked about in LA, CA alot. I m right next to Carbahn but I am wondering if their 2-pin design is good enough.
