Hello,
So i am working ona 335i xDrive N55 that had a shreded Serpentine belt. I removed all the peices of the belt thoughout the engine. The Pan did not have a lot but the pil pickup tube was filled along with being wrapped aorund the front mail seal an just at the start of crank.
There was some shards in the lower gears but nothing that did not come out easy. I know its possible for these to jump timing when this happens.
While I have the car apart what are some things i can do so when I put this back together I can have a better chance off the engine working. My list is below feel free to add anything that might be of importance or that I missed. would love to hear your feedback if you have done this before and the engine truned out fine.
My Too List
- Repalce all gaskets / Bolts ( Front Main, VC, Oil Pan)
- Make sure the vanos is avancing and retarding propperly (How to check Car needs to be running)
- Check the timing (Need to buy a kit)
- Check Compression (Need to buy a kit)
- Two rounds of Oil change
- Diff Oil
