4.6is engine replacement time
I picked this project up for $2000, not running 4.6is timing guide failure, It supposedly had the trans rebuilt 1000 miles before engine failure. I got it home put oil in it and tried to start it, What a noise that put out!! , no throttle response, flashing engine light and stalling. I got the usual p0011, plus many misfire codes. It looks to me like bent valves, I'm slightly disappointed. The good news is I have 2, 4.6 engines sitting in my garage This will be another fun project for me! |

Leak down test?
Did you do a cylinder leak down test? Unless the chain skipped a bunch, Maybe you don't have bent valves....

Congratulations. Why are you disappointed? You picked up a 4.6is X5 cheap and you have two spare 4.6is engines in your garage so you will be spending very little to make it whole again? Sounds like a win-win to me.

I have not, I did buy a tester, and will do the test. But at 134k miles it's time to fix the oil leaks and clean the engine bay

It will make a nice vehicle once you run through it. I love the way they drive and handle and like yourself I just ran through mine to give it the peace of mind that I like to have with any of my BMWs.
