Not a lot of information exists on the famous N63 long block, what parts are new vs reused. In this video we do a deep dive into exactly what you get.

    In what situation would you only change the rod bearings? Was ot just the one cylinder as well???

    • @bimmer.doctor
      @bimmer.doctor Před 11 dny

      Was doing this as part of a refresh I'm doing on this N55 for my next project, and I did all 6 not just the one. These engines are known to have rod bearing issues in some cases, so I replaced them as preventative maintenance while the engine was on the stand, but these had very little wear and didn't really need to be changed.

    • @wstevenson2004
      @wstevenson2004 Před 11 dny

      ​@bimmer.doctor gotcha. So the mains don't have the same issue? I'm new to the BMW world. Swiped an 06 750Li from my neighbor. I've read all the bad history on them. This one was taken pretty good care of but has 148k on it. I've done wheel bearing in the rear and the little e- brake fix. He too it to BMW for services fie the first 130k of life so the valve cover gaskets and seals have been changed. Not sure about the alternator bracket gasket and PVC. It could use a transmission service too. Shifts a little hard at first in the mornings but is smooth for the rest of the day. Just learning all the trick and indicators. I like projects but stay away form blackholes.

    • @bimmer.doctor
      @bimmer.doctor Před 11 dny

      “stay away from black holes” is a great mindset. You’ll see mostly everything I do on this channel is over the top and done to perfection. Enjoy the car for what it is, fix what breaks but don’t go crazy over it unless you want to open up a big can of worms.

      Hi there. Rods only need to be replaced if the bearing spun because it ruins the bore. Since these were not spun, I reused them.

    Awesome stuff! Well my fuel economy is no where near as good as yours lol.. Still not resolved. Still doing 150KM with 26L of gas lol... Didnt know your from Canada like me lol. Things changed so far: - Fuel Pump - MAF sensor - Spark Plugs - Thermostat - Fuel Injectors (and coded) - Oil Change Also did smoke test, no issues. Next on my list would be: - HPFP - Oxygen Sensors Running out of options lol...

    • @bimmer.doctor
      @bimmer.doctor Před měsícem

      Yeah, you definitely need to stop firing the parts canon and find a good shop who can do a proper diagnostic. Obviously there is a root cause and just guessing which parts to change will be costing you a lot of money! Good luck on the search!
