Learnt so much from your videos. I'm still new to learning about cars but there are so many channels out there that bore me to death with their jargon. Yours is the rare few that isn't boring af lol
These N55 love seizing. More commonly due to not having baffled sumps. This one is a bit rarer with the whole oil pipe situation. Look forward to seeing the outcome.. had my N55 seize on me but decided to get a Cat B and take the engine and box and just replace rather than rebuild.
All I am saying is when my L322 turbos blow, ain’t nobody touching it except you guys , militant mechanics and honest too better than manufacture Mechnics defo
This is why its important to pay attention to what your car is doing. If the driver would have noticed the low oil pressure light/ heard the engine starve of oil and immediately stopped the motor the engine could have been possibly saved
All good. One bit of advice. Try and be more organized. Get trays and labeled areas rather than things on the floor. Just makes it cleaner and perhaps customers will be happier to come
I am a dyier but don’t understand how when you take a whole engine apart how do you remember where every thing goes. Also it would be nice to know what this kinda repair would cost.
The oilpan is not fixed for tracking with the m135i, so the engine runs dry in strong corners.. They need a fixed oil pan(witch fied chambers). Oilpump maybe needs an upgrade to for tracking. That is gonna be the problem 👍 cheers, nice video's!
@@NamzBoost thanks , I read that the N55 in the M135i comes with forged crank( from m235i racing ) and rods ( from f80 m3/m4) from the factory but not so sure if this is true
Why did you take the torque converter out of the transmission? much easier to let it stay in transmission so you dont have to recalibrate the transmission
@@NamzBoost Oh ok :D in my workshop the repair instructions tell us to let it stay inside. just wanted to know :D but its good to see you know what youre doing. keep going
Bruv in the next few years this will be me. All over these sorts of cars. I tried to shout to you but you clearly don't read your comments. I read a reply to my followers. Its All good👍🏻
It will be going to the engine machine shop to asses what needs doing for sure, from there we can decide what’s next you have a garage yourself or a mechanic definitely sound clued up lol
@@NamzBoost the bore walls must be scored so bad, but yeah an engineering shop will be able to save 90 percent of it, new crank and cams, might be able to machine head for oversize bearings too. They will have their work cut out :-) looking forward to see how this goes 👍
Bro where are u based.. ? I have a zafira gsi and it keeps going into limp mode when in boost. I get a p1106 code can u help me? Pls ive changed map sensor front and rear boost pressure sensor checked all the earth on the loom and still same issue. I put the old map sensor bk and it goes into limp mode alot less now but still does it from time to time.
It’s unusual for young men to have the knowledge how to do this level of work , I’d just replace the engine as far to much to repair and guarantee reliability!
Yes always easier but it’s the issue with not knowing the service and history of the engine you are buying there are pros and cons to both but usually rebuilds are a better option as you know exactly what’s been done to it
