Good Morning and Win Today Brother Will like to find out, how many mechanical stops are there for your eccentric shaft One is on the eccentric shaft bearing caps(visible), as I'm struggling to get a start after engine overhaul. Used timing tools as on your video
Firstly thanks for the nice video. Two questions please, first why didn't you attach the cam timing tools at the begining like I have seen on other videos?, and 2 do you need to drain the oil? And sorry what thread patter are the new vanos bolts plz
1. My VANOS timing was totally out , you can see how engine sounds like if u check the link in comment when your timing is 180 degree out. The timing has to be locked when first piston comes up, I did the opposite on my first try :p 2. No need to drain oil. I am collecting the pieces of my chain guide from oil filter. VANOS BOLT WERE Directly from BMW.
@@RBDET25 it's simple as shown in my video. Lock the crank as per the procedure shown and use the timing tool properly. I thought timing was a tough job but it turned to be simple if you follow the procedure step by step
@@bimmerhacks hopefully last question lol, I've read a lot of people complaining about the crank.locking tool not fitting properly, which kit did you buy can you link it please and did it fit well
See my description. I bought the cheapest tool and it was fitting properly. Always read my description as I will be updating things that I missed to mention in the video. Good luck and feel free to ask further if you have any doubts. I am not an expert but had gone through most of the problems!!!!
Vanos sprocket can be at any position but make sure the chain is free enough in the top chain guide side as demonstrated in my video when you tighten the vanos sprocket. Once you tighten the spring tensioner the chain will get tightened and the it will show no lag on the chain guide side.
@justinnaicker5152 I was wondering the same. maybe it's to check if the vanos sprocket self is not worn out because on the inside where the bolt goes is also a dot
Hi if you could help I'm trying to get the timing tool onto the exhaust side but won't fit flush, do I need to rotate the cam fully around to get it to match?
Thanks for this video. I have same issue with the timing and want to confirm fews thing, if you can answer. 1) When the first piston is fully up then do I need to lock the crank?? 2) Or first piston bring up fully then apply the crank locking tool??? Thanks
When first piston comes up with other 3 pistons in same position u must lock the crank. That's the pistons position in 90 degree. Feel free to ask any minute details.
I have tried this method but car is not starting plz can you confirm where I'm making a mistake. 1) I have brought up the first piston up fully up, second piston and third pistion was down and fourth piston was fully up align with one piston. Then I have locked the crank. Have I done correct??
@3.littlegirlzz WRONG!!!! ALL THE PISTONS MUST BE IN SAME HEIGHT. You have to lock the crank when the first piston comes up and make same level with other 3 pistons- Same level. Did you understand?
Thanks. I did the same way you did and car got started but still bit missing and one error code is coming now P13C9. Any idea about an above error code????
in the previous video u said u rotate a crank by 180° where is that mentionned in this vid i got the same problem of zero compression and new chain is in
Hi, I have a BMW 1 Series 116i. And Now my car is showing drivetrain message. I have check with obd2 and it is showing following code: P1339, 130F30 and 120408. Any clue????
I am not sure about this, but first try swapping the Camshaft sensors from exhaust and intake. And see if the error code switches. If not then timing chain issue is what I assume, in that case change the timing chain with sprockets
Issue that I had when I locked the crank wheel when the 1st Piston was going down: th-cam.com/video/QlgOpYlMuqc/w-d-xo.html
was it the first timming chain replacement? btw fanastic video
@@JR-tl8tg Yes... ;)
Hello, are you telling that even if i got everything right with the propers tools like in your vidéo ill have the same problem ?
@@henrihl6264 if you do it in the proper way that I have explained then no issues.lock the crank when first piston comes up
my main question is : is it possible, even with the tools that seems well placed on the camshaft, to fail the timing,?
Very nice job good job

Will like to find out, how many mechanical stops are there for your eccentric shaft
One is on the eccentric shaft bearing caps(visible), as I'm struggling to get a start after engine overhaul.
Used timing tools as on your video
I did not notice that on eccentric shaft. R u getting zero compression or something else? I was having zero compression when I did a wrong timing lock
Hi which crank lock tool did you use? You make it look so easy lol
I bought from Amazon US. See the description

@@bimmerhacks how did you do the reinitialisation after you changed the chain?

Do the vanos pulleys need to be lined up, or can they be put on any position.
Vanos sprocket can be at any position but make sure the chain is free enough in the top chain guide side as demonstrated in my video when you tighten the vanos sprocket. Once you tighten the spring tensioner the chain will get tightened and the it will show no lag on the chain guide side.
But whats is the dots on the vanos for then?
Maybe it's helping in first time engine assembly...😁

Make sure the top and the left and right sides are flat part on the CAM. U CAN USE THE SPANNER to adjust the CAM as in video
Thanks, that's not too scarey 😊

That might be tongue slip from my voiceover. You can see the zero compression in my pinned comment.
