shouldve included the footage of the removal

i just got a 2013 528i (an awd one) with the n20 with a broken guide. the finger that loops over the chain at the exhaust gear was completly broken off as seen through oil fill and chain super loose

[@cyronader]

I got a 2014 328I with 55k miles with N20. If there are no issues does it make sense to change the timing chain guides as a preventive measure?

[@DJNateSheer]

I think mine slipped on my BMW x3 28i, it’s been sitting in my driveway for 3 years now. Not sure what to do with it. How can I tell if the engine is still good? Should I try to turn it over by hand or take apart enough to see timing chain?

[@dcthegr8]

Nice

[@r.weaver3769]

Do you use the flywheel locating pin and flywheel lock tool for loosening and torquing the crank bolt?

[@acidynamix]

Yes

@@acidynamix Thank you. I found your video very helpful and enjoyable too. It's a shame I don't live closer.

@@r.weaver3769 thank you!! We appreciate you watching!

[@user-sz7nh3sh9f]

Great video! Question...... Is it possible to replace JUST the upper guide (between the cams) without going through all this? And, after replacing that guide, how long till the guide turns from white to brown. (Long story). Thanks

[@acidynamix]

I would recommend doing them all if you go in there

[@bumazka]

I’m have a question My chain doesn’t do any movement but if you move chain guide that visible from oil cap it moves from side to side with the chain… … is it normal?

[@joevirnig]

guides should have some wiggle room when cold but if its moving like 1/4 an inch that's definitely snapped guides. just replaced my timing chain at 150k miles and had no visible signs and my chain was tight. i didnt think about it until i got the engine oil pressure too low warning and found out my guides completely fell off and my engine could have exploded

[@csabakereszturi945]

Can you please tell me what causes the chain guides to fail/brake? Has the timing chain tensioner failed at that point and the chain is not that "tight" anymore and hits the guides which consequently get damaged and brake? Thank you!

[@gonzalovalencia6379]

I looked into it and the problem seems to be the timing chain guides themselves since they’re made of plastic they wear out faster. At least from what I’ve read online

[@andyandy7968]

just a cheap plastic

[@hondacbx1975]

If you do a visual check and the guide is not orange but white does this means maybe it’s been replaced already ?

[@justinfudge5049]

White guides usually indicate replacement yes!

[@3xcelsi0r10]

Can the timing chain cause engine misfire in the high RPM range?

[@acidynamix]

It could but more likely related to spark plugs or a coil pack. Very common on those cars.

[@3xcelsi0r10]

@@acidynamix I already changed coils, plugs, injectors, maf sensor...

[@victorchiong5239]

will this new chain stretch again and damage? for how long?

[@acidynamix]

Yes overtime just like the OEM one prob 80-120k miles

[@victorchiong5239]

@@acidynamix so, what i understand is that , the original design of the timing chain stretched early but this one the redesigned last longer?

[@smtyson1650]

Imagine paying all that money for a bmw,only to have plastic timing guides,valve cover and plastic oil pan(not sure which model has the plastic oil pans).smh

[@realsaxual2357]

Agreed

[@ralphismaximum7]

Every brand has everything plastic now a days

[@smtyson1650]

@@ralphismaximum7 I find that the more expensive brands are using more plastic.

[@andyandy7968]

plastic is not about saving money. It's about saving weight

[@smtyson1650]

@@andyandy7968 it's about saving money and making money..these parts usually fails outside the factory warranty.thatsbone of the reason people sell them before the warranty is up

[@kenithrijder]

Could you maybe have found a slightly more aggravating background drum beat? I couldn't finish the video as I didn't want to turn the sound off in case I missed a comment but it wasn't worth the aggravation of listening to the music with that terrible beat.
