Still a lot of work, but this guy makes it so easy. Brand new subscriber! This guy is slowly changing my views on bmw engineering.

@@indianboy0453 He makes it look easy, but none of this stuff is easy at all. :)

@@ludak83 I notice 2 things ! Patients and Never Get Annoyed ,the sign of a Great Teacher !!! Love it

I just purchased a 2009 E93 335i BECAUSE I’m confident with his channel’s content; I’ll be able fix almost anything and avoid most of the BMW repair tax

You're' correct... It purrs. Like when it was new. I had NO idea that the N54 had separate cam and oil pump chains. So glad this video is here. I might get brave to try this sometime after less invasive options have been exhausted (and I actually have time to work on my N54 09 E90)

Hi, how did it go? I had to do the timing in my n55 but once I put everything together and attempt to rotate the engine it is not possible and can not complete 1 revolution on the f30 n55. Do you have any advice?

@@nahtannoJv8 It's not wanting to turn? Did you inspect the rest of the engine checking to see if the rods, pistons, etc are good while you had the valve cover and front seal off?

@@yungsaile the engine was running before I took things apart. I was doing the oil sump gasket. that's when I found a piece of plastic in the sump. and upon inspection, I saw that the oil pump tensioner was just broken. While I was there I decided to do the timing components as well . since the engine was running fine. I did not even bother to turn the engine manually(my mistake). but when using the timing tool for the n55 the camshafts did not align in place. I thought maybe the timing is off. never had a check engine light until that moment. Now that I replaced the timing chain and use the timing tool and had the crankshaft in TDC using the locking pin.The engine turns but can not complete 1 full revolution. At first, I thought the engine is not turning because I left the car in first gear So I put it in neutral later I had someone press the clutch and still can not complete the revolution. then change the TDC by a few degrees and I still can not complete 1 full revolution manually. just when I am about to make it gets stuck. pistons valves seem fine. but no way to tell unless I do a compression test or something. and rn I am just trying to gather patience to go back at it lol

@@nahtannoJv8 Oh I know the feeling of trying to regain patience to figure out the issue lol but dang even I'm left in a strut trying to figure out what it could possibly be. If I recall my oil pump tensioner/guide did indeed break too and found within the oil pan along with the shreds of the serpentine belt. As time consuming as it is, I think starting at the beginning a little to backtrack and retrace steps is what I would do (done that so many times on other projects). What happened to your car to do this project if you don't mind me asking?

Have you seen the white socks under the flip flops yet? Where are the style police when you need them... :D

Glad to help!

Thanks!

Yeah I've been driving it every day since for the last week.

Yeah I typically frown upon using RTV on crank or rear main seals as if you install them correctly you shouldn't need any but the N54 has a bed plate and you have to use sealant anyway. With the pan dropped I had clear access to see if any excess RTV would have made it through the other side so I felt comfortable using it.

Thanks! I got a lot of info from newtis.info

Thanks, yeah considering you just need to lock the top and bottom and torque down the crank bolt it seemed really easy. You don't have to 2nd guess if you are one tooth off.

Hey, typically you'd need the tool for that but if you put cylinder one at TDC and pop the valve cover off the camshafts would be both in a position where the square tool can fit over it. So there are two flat edges on each camshaft they'd be at 90 degrees.

@@VehicularDIY thank you very much and for the bottom? the crankshaft?

On an N54? Got bent valves or just vanos codes?

@@vvsyndicate9351 just codes and running rough - i was lucky it didn't damage the valves - phew

@@ben7020 hey man do you have Instagram? I want to ask you some questions

I removed the screw by cracking and I take out complete pulleys and I hear something fall, and I put everything back do you thing something fall down or timing get lost? Or how I can check the timing? Thanks for your help

@@ramonlatorre6671 you can buy timing tools from ebay, i recomend to use timing tools, replace friction discs and new crank bolt and check all work - especially if u hear parts drop 🍻

Thanks! It's driving great, have put only about 1K miles.

I have the same question

Been wanting to know this as well, it would be really appreciated.

check out newtis.info

Thanks!

I also would like to know this

Yes it's got 200K on it, for whatever reason I've noticed it feels a little smoother after the repair.

@@VehicularDIY love my 335i currently at 79k miles i have idle hiccups or tiny cuaghs with slight shakes on cold start since i had it 2 years ..done everything from index 12,ngk plugs 0.22 ,delphi coils , new rear 02 sensors ..new factory diverter valves (mod including hose removed ) ...currenty gotta fit new vanos solonoids and boost soloniods....tough one as it doesnt regester as a missfire ... and already had to replace a faulty index 12 was hoping to solve it....6 speed manual ...still love it though i just egnore it...2k oil and filter changes :)

@@badboygto did u code the injectors? if u still have the car lol

@@Salty_Kingston ha yea still got it and fixed it in the end ...new seals and cuplings refitted injecters solved it i got there in the end :)

still a few very minor shivers when cold start is coming down im putting that down to timing ajustment as for the hicups non at all 👍

Thanks! Yes I reused it.

Hey its called Ultra Grey by permatex.

@@VehicularDIY thanks so much man hope you're well!

Thanks, this for a Tial BOV?

@@VehicularDIY yeah it's a 50mm tial blow off valve what do you think?

Thanks! I have upgraded the diverter vales to some cheap aftermarket ones, you'll find a video on my channel for it. I have state 2+ turbos which are still doing great and the aftermarket DVs are holding 25 psi without issue.

Thanks! I get most of the info from newtis.info.

Likely the hpfp overdrive solution I had installed when I upgraded my turbos.
