BMW N57 HOW TO REPLACE ROD BEARINGS AND USE PLASTIGAUGE

[@miceinoz1181]

No EGR/Intake port carbon clean or has this been done previously? Like your style of speaking, calm and measured.

This is the best channel for bmw engine teardowns I've come across. Very very informative

[@user-ju5hz5nb3r]

hello, great job as always. My question is that I see that you did the plastigauge measurement on the new bearings but I've seen other videos where it is done with the old bearings is there a difference or reason why both methods? thanks in advance

[@johnmorrison9072]

How many miles was on the engine? It would help me decide on whether to do mine.😅

[@mlgboy1]

What a great and informative video. It certainly makes it look a less daunting prospect to do. I am guessing that these engines are a lot less common in the US than they are here in the UK but by god are they powerful with good BHP and Torque figures. But as metioned by some others here DO NOT GO BY BMW RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVALS FOR THE OIL AND FILTER CHANGE. Leaving this as long as BMW recommend is asking for some big bills once a vehicle gets to about 100k miles. My N57, in my 335D, gets oil and filter service at 10k or less and should be less for a vehicle that does shorter mile journeys.

335D in e90? or g series?

Excelent work... thank you Woody's...

Bearings on my N57 are original from factory. Now I want to do preventive bearings change, so my questions are : I need to buy standard dimension? Do I need to rework / remanufacture my engine block and crankshaft? Or I can just do preventive bearings change?

[@jake6084]

Just wondering whether when installing the bearings you should be putting on assembly lube on both sides? Wouldn't you just have lube on the side that contacts with the crankshaft and leave the side that contacts with the rod dry? I'm thinking putting oil/lube on the rod side would increase the risk of a spun bearing?? Thoughts everyone?

[@nemz7505]

I've always left the back dry, assembly lube on bearing surface only. Greater risk of the bearing spinning if you lube the back.

Can You help me with the torque settings of the conrod please!!

@@sebastianmiticky2491 but what if you change main bearings and all the stuff? i heard it can last long if u change them every 60-70k , also, first time when the car gets fucked, it will get fucked every next time you rebuild it, only solution is the new engine.

[@mickeypopa]

Thanks Woody!

[@bruhannyanzi1660]

I like ur staffs man

[@giannister]

Can this be done without the engine coming out

[@mlgboy1]

The timinng chain is at the back of the engine, nearest the cabin so it has to come out but you could possibly do the rod bearings in place.

[@mrtokyo1989]

Nice! Hope for more videos :D

[@rockfordwoods5432]

Rod bearings are not same top and bottom. You did not cover that. S or sputter goes into the rod end, unmarked goes in the cap.

[@tamur1994]

Big issue with n57 are the main bearings, not rod bearings

[@bimmerwrecker1513]

american people dont know how to fix bmw, espetially diesel,,,,,
