BMW N57 Timing Chains Assembly Procedure

[@neilhampson2843]

Thank you so much for the best E47/57 video on youtube. The engine mounting plate is a brilliant idea. You have put so much detail into it I now feel confident to do the chain on my E46 1.6 mini diesel. Unfortunately the chain on my car has snapped,so a much bigger job. The engine you were working on seem to have been very well maintained as every part was very clean, for a Diesel. Thanks again.

[@leonardchinguri9288]

Thanks for the sharing, it's so clear, I can understand every step.

[@aliounedia5658]

Hello do you have a video about installation of cylinder head on n57 specifying the torque ?

[@plokijij7856]

If I was the owner I’d be changing the oil pump, so much work to remove the engine and stripped it down I’d be changing everything I could!

[@sundhukumar]

Highly professional and competent workmanship Kudos to your team🎉❤ Thanks a Ton!

[@crank3646]

For the people that are wondering is the timing right, please watch Part 5 of this series, to see that everything is fine (flywheel timing compared with this method). And yes on N47 this will not work! You will need to time the crankshaft with the flywheel, not like in this video.

[@motorenthusiast3609]

Thank you for the great video. How many kilometres on this engine?

[@dmytro5428]

Hello, how to put the key on for the crankshaft correctly, there are two holes, you put it in the second one and I saw a video where they put it in the first one.

[@shaharkazav8926]

You guys professional, I wish I have someone like you around me....

[@farazhanif]

Nice video looks like you're taking good care and preventative maintenance. I've just sent mine to be done today I'm in London maybe I should have taken it here if you are local.

[@iosifmocanu7852]

I still do not understand why you have to rotate the high fuel pump to 180 degrees before chain installation ?

[@jcizman]

Well done, lot of details. Thank you for all the effort to present this process. I have 2011 335D (M57D30TÜ2TOP engine) with 344,000 km, everything original except the harmonic balancer (crankshaft pulley). Is there an average time/distance when the timing chain replacement should be done? I noticed a bit of click/clack noise on one of the valve lifters that lasts until the engine is fully warmed up.

[@russella7263]

If it helps, mine snapped at just 187,000 km.

Hi am watching from Senegal I really appreciate your procedure of work and I've learned so many things from your channel. I need the torque specs bolts to assemble a n57 cylinder head to the engine block

[@W15Garage]

Hi, Do N47 and N57 share the same extact timing chain kit?

[@santapoddracer66]

Great video mate. Well done 👍🏽

[@Oztinnieadventures]

Flywheel should have gone back on and been locked and timed with the camshafts, the crank locking tool is for setting up pump sprocket only.

[@Mjasa91]

that what i was thinking...

[@richie6693]

Yep . Pretty sure this is now timed incorrectly

[@seanvanryckeghem3424]

Indeed! Was thinking the same. Imo timing is incorrect now.

[@jake6084]

Crank has already responded to this - you are WRONG!! Crank : "For the people that are wondering is the timing right please watch Part 5 of this series, to see that everyt is fine (flywheel timing compared with this method). And yes on N47 this will not work! You will need to ti the crankshaft with the flywheel, not like in this video"

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

Very interesting guys! Thanks for sharing! Dutch regards, Nico.

[@gulag8735]

Anyone know why the pump was 180 degree away from its marks. Mine is similar, about 80 degrees

[@Oztinnieadventures]

In the kit there is two crank locking tools, one for time the pump, the other to time the cams, not all marks line up together as they are timed differently.

[@gulag8735]

@@Oztinnieadventures thanks for your reply. Discovered the different timing and have it all back together and running nicely. If only I could find out why my fuel presupply pressure is low, I'd be flying🤣

[@Oztinnieadventures]

@@gulag8735 possibly the supply fuel pump inside the fuel tank.

[@marcusevensson3687]

1:05:58 why did you turn the hi pressure fuel pump sprocket during installation when nothing else has been turned? Crank and camshaft are locked.

[@crank3646]

Watch the whole video little bit more carefully and you will understand

[@marcusevensson3687]

Thanks for your reply! I watched it again and could se that aligns with the notch in the case at 1 and 4 revolution of the engine. But I still don’t understand why it’s turned about 180 degrees from its original position when chains were disassembled. Why not just keep it like in was?

[@crank3646]

@@marcusevensson3687 Because you need to be 100% sure that the HPFP will be timed correctly. If you are sure that it haven't move ok don't rotate it, but I don't see the point of risking it

[@cardoso9411]

​@@marcusevensson3687When he turns the engine twice at the end of the video, you will see that the mark on the high pressure pump is in the same position as when he turned it 180 degrees. he worked well

[@brianward9593]

Hi Crank, Is there any set tension for the oil pump chain on this engine? great video again.

[@crank3646]

I don't think so, but it is relatively cheap so I change it every time so to be on the safe side

[@David-rd1ld]

I own car with N57 engine,(2010 E92 325D)car now has 306 000km,timing chain was replaced at 185 000km,oil changes every 10-15 000 kms,when do you think I should replace it again?

[@crank3646]

Btw 150-180k kms after the last timing chain change

BMW wants you to remove the head because of where the timing case, head and block all meet. Silicone or a new head gasket needs to be applied.

Здравей, може ли малко помощ относно инструмента който използваш за семерината на коляновия вал. Вече втора семерина се прецаква и мисля че без него е невъзможно.. Интересува ме вътрешния диаметър на водещата втулка на семерината която влиза плътно в коляновия вал, и каква му е дължината на това зъбче..

Инструмента се продава в olx, не мисля че е непосилно скъп. Напиши инструмент семеринг M57 N57 и ще ти излезе

Dont do egr delete on m550d 2014 go to someone who can program to turn it of. Cuz i did the delete and the car started to blow out white and i went to my guy who tuned my car he almost slapped me in the face😅 because there is coolant going thro the egr and it blocked of the circulation for the coolant system and. And yes i ordered the right parts darkside helped me to get the right parts for my engine

[@crank3646]

You have some other issue. I have done this many times without any problems. On M57 is the same, you block the both sides and still there is no issue

[@MrTJOMI]

How come it went away after i took it away?

[@crank3646]

​@@MrTJOMI Sooo lets think little bit sharper. So if this blocked coolant taps made your car smoke white, it means that you should have overheated it aka cylinder head gasket failure aka coolant in the cylinders. If you re-install the EGR coolant, you should still have this issue right? From else where the white smoke will come, related to EGR? If you block this coolant paths, no coolant will enter the intake system.

[@MrTJOMI]

How come it doesnt after change it back even made pressure test and testing in coolant container

🔝perfect video

[@mateuszpoguntke9068]

Thanks!

[@richie6693]

This video is not the correct way to time the engine . The crankshaft holding tool is not set at TDC and is NOT at the correct position to do up the camshaft bolts it is only for timing the fuel pump. Like the other comment says the flywheel needs to go back on and locked with the TDC pin before tightening the camshaft bolts .

[@crank3646]

I guess then the cars which we are doing are running magically. This especially has more than 60k km after this repair, without any issues. But if you watch more in details (I decided to film this part, especially for people that are not so experienced), you will see that I'm comparing the timing with the flywheel and the "tool for the HPFP", and the timing is 100% the same.

[@richie6693]

I’m surprised you haven’t got an engine check light on with cam/ crank correlation codes . The crank holding tool is not set the same position as the flywheel locking pin . I just did one last week so I know . If you wish to leave your email I can send you the BMW repair procedure it even states to rotate the crank slightly anticlockwise after removing the holding tool . I know you’re a very skilled technician , I’ve watched some of your other videos and it’s great that you help people by making these videos but the procedure that you portray in this one is not correct according to BMW.

[@crank3646]

​@@richie6693 I have done, I don't know how many of this engines, without any issues. Never had a code about cam/crank correlation, the cars are running strongly until the next timing chain procedure 150-200k kms, if the main/conrod bearings survive ofc
