Gotta catch up on your last couple videos... we got slammed by Helene here in the NC mountains... got some primitive living practice for a week+ ... some great roads are destroyed! How close was Milton to you?
Damn, hope you're doing OK now. The eye of Milton went right over us. Some neighborhoods are still clearing debris. But for the most part, we're back to normal.
Replacing the main bearings with the engine in the car is a hassle. Plus it's expensive. I decided it's not worth it. Maybe sometime in the future, I will pull out the engine and do a more thorough refresh.
@@michaelblacktree 50'skid and other people say you can re-use main cap bolts. Plus ive done a junkyard rebuilds and used aliexpress bearings. Not saying you should do that hahaha, although just thought I would put it out there
@@anthonysamaha3760 you were able to install the main bearing with the crank still installed? I've seen someone use a small bolt in the oil passage on the crank to "spin" the top bearing down to remove it, it was on a different engine tho. I'm curious how you'd get the top bearing out without damaging anything and removing the crank.

@@michaelblacktree Most people around us were luckier than those higher in the more western region... Topped Hugo from my childhood!
Will Super Clean usurp the crown from the reigning purple king?
super clean? ;) lifter tick is my e46's middle name, haha
When the engine warms up, the lifter tick goes away. So I keep telling myself it's ok for now. 😛
Just FYI, you won the giveaway. I sent an email, but maybe the spam filter got it?
@@michaelblacktree I never check my email. Sorry! Am I too late?
p.s. checked and responded!
Don't worry. You're good. 👍
A bit surprised you didn’t go ahead and install a bung in that…ahem, “Super Clean” oil pan….for your future turbo oil return line.
I'm probably going to use a scavenge pump for the turbo.
Is there no need to plasti-guage for the bearings?
Not in this case. We're using stock replacement bearings on a stock crankshaft. But if the crank was reground, then absolutely.
@@michaelblacktree Well, thats a real timesaver then! Good work!
did you already replace the main bearings? just wondering why not replace em along with the rod bearings if you are already in that deep?

@@justfasial01No, you can't change main cap bearings without removing the crank.
