      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)

    Long story short, my belt got sucked into the crankshaft and of course got into the pick up tube and all over the pan. Come to find out the guides broke too. So! This guide is so helpful right now to get started with replacing everything but the oil pump. I got the timing and oil pump chain kits, new crankshaft seal, vc and pan gaskets, I think I'm ready to rock n roll on this! Thank you so much for your content!! p.s. I'm running on the N55 E90 platform

      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?

      @@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?

      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
      @VehicularDIY  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    That's crazy where the helix caused the oil chain to break and I heard about this happening, but never saw it first hand. I have a helix 3x overdrive which I recently installed, but I only have 50k miles on my car. I also couldn't find anything online about anyone else having this issue because of the helix. I know they since added the support bracket and plate because of the stock plates breaking due to the pivotal weight with the helix and HPFP in line. But based on that, do you think it might have caused the failure because I know you were running the helix without the additional plate and support bracket. Is it possible that without those additions, the weight and movement from driving could have flexed the gear and guides enough over time to cause damage?

    nice series! towards the end i noticed you are still using the stock DVs on your dynamic autowerx stage 3 turbos and 25psi. Hows it holding?

      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.

      No that would involve pulling the motor as you have to drop the bed plate.
