What happened to the E36?

You're wrong about the flange; the threads divide the load since you're clamping two fasteners together.

Could this be done with the motor in the car?

Usually the oil-pan or pickup tube has bits of fragmented timing-chain guide or the plastic cross-hatch meshing from the inside of the cam cover. My pick-up tube had bits of timing guide

What’s the stud size?

Hey.. I'm have a 2011 bmw 328i e90 I've gone through 3 generic sensors. They fail quickly. Almost right away. U think it's because it's generic? $20 vs $200.. Big difference in cost but I might have to try the oem. What was the other brand instead of oem did I recommend? And where can I find them? That's another issue. It's been almost impossible to find real front wheel sensors for my car. I keep finding rear but not the front.. Even generics have been tough to find. I've been sent wrong ones a couple times.. Mine are blue plastic but my tip is round rubber. Looks diff from yours.. So my model bmw is fussy with generics? Thanks for your help

I've watched every fucking e36 sunroof delete video on youtube. Yours is by far the best. I'm also the type to do it right and use RivNuts, and youre the only person ive found doing it. Thank you for the QUALITY content, all these years later. Still helping guys like me.

Help. I am not able to set the upper timing. Could it be that my upper chain is stretched? When I turn all the way to the right, the intake window is not hitting the stud on the left corner. Same thing on the exhaust side. If I turn all the way to the left. The exhaust window is not touching the the stud on the right corner. To adjust If I move the exhaust sprocket one tooth forward or backward The window is off alignment. The gap is about two or 3 mm before hitting the stud. The engine is at TDC . The cams are locked in place with the two dots on top. The only conclusion is that the upper chain may have been stretched. it’s got 220,000 miles

great video Thanks

Thank you for your video and your help, your video goes throughly through the whole breakdown of this engine step by step. I’m glad to see your work, and I hope your hard work has paid off. I’m glad to see your face and hear your voice here as I know it sounded familiar from the FCP EURO channel and your work has definitely helped me work on BMW cars with ease and confidence. Thank you again, your work does not go un noticed and I appreciate all your content.

Oh thank you so much my bro

5 year old video is still a true hero. Thanks

Thanks for posting this! Learned a lot and definitely put me on the right track to repair the threads on my ‘07 Yaris Axle - very much appreciated Sir!

This was great help . Thank you

gonna do this to my barra

Wtf my 1 brain cell is trying to figure out how to do it 😂💀💀

Dog please let me buy that front install tool lol I'll send it back 😅

I may need a similar Die for my 09 ml350 w164, not sure if this works! any tips or idea ? great video man!!

The foam is there to prevent explosions..

Pro tip for those that haven’t done this yet. To get the factory sunroof seal to come off without having to scrape is use a heat gun on the whole seal or as you go and it all comes off like a charm. Removes clean as a whistle

Perfect and thorough demonstration, bro's a chad. Thanks man

Could the speed sendor also not put on active cruise control?? Cruise vontrol failes while driving but if i press brakes it does turn on and there is no fault codes

Thank you, Sir!

Anyone really interested in doing things right: This is a BAD idea accompanied with wrong information. First of all, safety wire strength has nothing to do with the number of twists or wraps (depending on your terminology). It’s an FAA regulation with the strength and durability factors already pre-determined. Too many wire wraps will actually decrease the strength, and increase the chance of failure. Secondly, in this case everytime the engine is started or revved, the applied torque due to the increase and then decrease of throttle will eventually take its toll, and the wire will shear at the timing gear, or the bolt hole that you may have forgotten to deburr. Either way, this can lead to a very expensive lesson, and is most definitely, bad advise. If not licensed or trained in aviation via the military you might not have known. Now your Patreons have an advantage.

Thanks a ton for this, saved my butt at work today 🎉

My cams havent moved since i took the head off. But the cam locks dont line up perfectly with the the edge if the head? Is that what determiens they are perfectly at top dead centre? The holes in the cam sqaures are up and the lobes on cylinder 1 are pinting towards each other although not perfectly but towards each other no less

Do you know the reason for these sensors to fail, even the original Ate ones that came with the vehicle? And seems that everybody replaces sensors every year/ every 2 years or randomly. Why?

Very clear explaining. Thank you.

Just curious, if the cap says 15 PSI max when PRESSURE testing for leaks, would u also recommend not exceeding that psi on cap when vacuum filling for fear of damaging plastic reservoir tanks from "collapsing" when drawing a vacuum?

What course petrol to enter the engine oil

Thanks

can u re-upload the video for better quality?

Its always great when a video from 4 years ago comes in clutch when u need a hand when things go wrong

I love you

Great video. I can't even get mine started. First 1-2mm compromised. I was thinking a.file, b.hacksaw Thoughts? Thanks.

will this tool work with a cheap 6 gallon pancake air compressor?

How much weight did you save?

I can’t agree more with above commenter. This is the first of the series I’ve seen but is very detailed and helpful for those of us doing it for the first time. Thank you :)

The throw you have it adjusted to is perfect, exactly what I’m looking for myself, it’s direct, no slop and perfect amount of throw to time your shifts with your clutch

Mother ... :( I did the same thing today but oh well! I guess this is how you learn, Bought some large dies and will fix like you did thanks for the video!

Awesome video! The same happened to me today as I was trying to push back the shaft and get the hub and bearing out on my E70 X5. Can you tell me which size die it’ll be for the X5? Thanks!

just took mine out thank you was starting sweat it lol my air hammer just wasnt cutting it

Perfect. Thank you for not going on and on and on before you performed the task. Excellent video Sir!

I have that same problem rn bro, 🙄

Are they all right hand threads?

Does anyone know what that small rubber piece is for? I cant seem to find anything about it and it doesn't seem to fit anything

Great video; thanks Gareth !!!!!

How do you do it without the axle spinning

Both nuts spinning for me, stud not moving at all. 😢

Question: Can I use the dye to replace a stripped nut...particularly if the threads are not aggressive enough on the replacement nut, and the axel although repaired, still has shallow threads.
