Once the bar is removed and the engine run, the dampener will... - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 14:41:49 (77 views) Why unpossible? You can leave the cam sprockets inplace, put on a new belt with the cam bar lining - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 14:52:10 (78 views) Absolutely true. <edit - mistyped - meant "bar" not "belt" - does it make more sense now?> - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 14:58:23 (69 views) And don't forget if the cam sprockets aren't loosened - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 15:01:19 (77 views) That's only true when the locking bar is in place. As soon as you remove the bar... - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 15:03:38 (71 views) That only applies if the cam sprockets are loose. If they are never loosened - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 17:45:38 (70 views) The sprockets are loosened to set the cam timing. - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 20:12:37 (78 views) What is the procedure, loosen the cam gears, then torque the tensioner? - sidespar 2008-07-22 14:25:16 (75 views) Just my $.02 but when you take it apart feel the belt tension coming from the passenger side - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 14:54:41 (62 views) Thanks, That is what I'm gonna do.

The sprockets have to rotate on the cams - A8CT 2008-07-22 16:22:01 (62 views) Right...until the locking bar is removed. Then the dampener takes up the slack. - 4Driver4 2008-07-23 11:39:48 (51 views)

Sounds mean. - Shaun 2008-07-22 14:33:57 (46 views) You didn't grow up on Detroit iron did you? Many of us don't think a fine German car should sound - NorCalS6 2008-07-22 14:22:25 (52 views) Perhaps.

But I agree.. Not worth the $600. - audikillsbmw 2008-07-22 10:27:50 (46 views) debateable - however, some butts may be more sensitive than others - TXurS6 2008-07-22 12:02:36 (46 views) True.

I've done a few of these. Piston damage is almost always limited to light dents. - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 07:37:26 (83 views) Yup everyone that i've seen has light indents in the pistons and the valves take the brunt - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 07:50:19 (72 views) wich is why.. two 2.7T's that I know of both needed pistons. - Paulroad 2008-07-22 15:14:28 (61 views) You are correct, it really all depends on when the belt goes. Of course in 3rd gear at WOT 6000RPM - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 17:47:11 (56 views) yes, this is true.. momentum works against the engine.. - Paulroad 2008-07-22 18:32:22 (56 views) =) Yes sir that it does - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 18:49:59 (40 views) Step one: leak down test to see which cylinders have problems. - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 07:30:36 (63 views) Agreed but if the belt went there is bound to be damage to both heads if the car was still running. - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 07:54:24 (58 views) By the way the belt went.... - computrtutr 2008-07-22 07:46:31 (65 views) "The belt went and the engine kept running at 400 rpm's until I shut it off." - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 08:24:14 (66 views) Your "evidence" that one head is OK is illogical IMO. The evidence shows that the damaged TB... - BernieBenz 2008-07-22 09:56:31 (61 views) I will restate: Proof that one or more heads is probably OK. - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 10:14:27 (52 views) I hadn't thought of that... - computrtutr 2008-07-23 05:46:36 (49 views) Probably the driver side is OK, it is the passenger head that seems to take the most damage. - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 08:25:45 (48 views) Concur. Consistent with what I've seen, and makes sense intuitively. - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 08:40:01 (56 views) And the intuitive logic being what? - BernieBenz 2008-07-22 08:53:31 (47 views) Dis: - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 09:47:22 (62 views) IMO, you're gilding the lily with trivia.

News to me. I've never seen one wear out. - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 07:32:53 (59 views) Really? Wow I hear a lot of people getting them changed because they are out of spec. Heck my exact - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 07:46:15 (62 views) I haven't heard that, but I am much more familiar with the 2.8 than the 2.7. - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 08:22:48 (60 views) Yup I agree, but my thought is that he is probably going to have to remove those items - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 08:24:56 (52 views) No need to pull that apart to check the valves. If they seal against the head, they don't need... - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 08:32:43 (61 views) Yea i'm anal I still like to pull them out and give them "the spinny" test - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 08:42:07 (56 views) What about manifold gaskets, cam chain tensioner? - computrtutr 2008-07-22 06:57:10 (63 views) Manifold and intake gaskets are worth doing if you have the extra $$ - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 07:48:28 (65 views) Considering the cost of the HG "kit"... - computrtutr 2008-07-23 05:50:06 (56 views) Gaskets might be worth doing. Tensioners are (IIRC) $300/piece, so I wouldn't - audikillsbmw 2008-07-22 06:59:02 (59 views) Gaskets will have to be done anyway. Concur on the adjusters, but price is closer to $500 each. - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 07:29:21 (49 views) Have you already pulled the heads and inspected them? - audikillsbmw 2008-07-22 06:28:53 (59 views) That's going to be the first step... - computrtutr 2008-07-22 06:39:53 (57 views) You don't need a valve job. You just need the few bent valves replaced. - 4Driver4 2008-07-22 07:28:25 (67 views)
For those with a Bentley manual: Are there complete diagrams of the SAI system in there? - audikillsbmw 2008-07-21 23:19:03 (67 views) And while we're on the subject, the combi valves are also part of the EGR system, correct? - audikillsbmw 2008-07-22 06:53:14 (40 views) Technically I would say yes since the SAI is also part of the EGR system - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 08:23:11 (38 views) Huh? I thought the SAI pump's only purpose was to heat up the cats when - audikillsbmw 2008-07-22 10:30:49 (44 views) It is so I conside heating of the cats EGR, just me I guess - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 10:34:54 (34 views) Not sure on the 4.2, but the 2.7 is a pump that connects to each head with a hose - ::yrk2.7t::M-Box²® 2008-07-22 06:43:00 (47 views) Yeah.. I know some of them (SAI pump, combi valves, and inlet hose - audikillsbmw 2008-07-22 06:47:20 (51 views) Why not just buy one for $65? - Boston Driver 2008-07-22 04:49:01 (38 views) Buy one!!!
