I'm not a fan of Total Seal rings. They either work or they don't and you're hating life. Some people have better luck than others with them...
I can't remember the mileage on this motor...please post it (again if you've already posted it and I missed it above). I forgot to ask how you fun her? Random luck or ? Also, if you could post pics of all the rod bearings, that'd be useful for something else I'm doing wrt the S65 motor (rod bearing failures are surprisingly high w/the S65). Thanks for documenting this! |
Good day all!!
Okay, so I am going over my list of parts I need and I'm coming up with a lot of questions concerning the kits!! I can't get a positive verification what parts are in the kits... The kit is $229... The list I do have concerning the parts in the kit don't add up to the kit price... It's almost like being charged a fee for putting the kit together... Which doesn't make sense... Is there anyone out there that knows what the kits consist of?! My list isn't complete yet, and I'm almost at $1795 for parts alone... That doesn't include bearings because I want to make sure I get the right size after the parts come back from the machine shop... Nor the three pistons I have to replace... Here are the part numbers for the two kits... 11110304864 and 11127518017... Thanks all!!! Cheers!! |

Still curious about the mileage on the X5. Those bearings look pretty good (#4 is a bit sketch), assuming about 80k-100k miles or so on the engine. |

I'm not familiar with that software... I'll look into it. I have a great vendor with a good bit of discounted prices for OEM parts, but others are a little "dealership inflated"... I don't have the battery connected, but IIRC, it is somewhere around 164,853... That is on the truck, but I'm not positive it's the original motor... Thanks much!! Cheers!! |
BMW Part Number Price Comparison: About
get that. it doesn't even install. Just runs on your pc. It is really cool. Also, if you don't mind waiting on shipping, I would give Craig at Open Road BMW a call. He gives BMW clubs discounts, to the tune of 15% over cost. Just say you are from xoutpost club and that's it. [email protected] 732-839-4548. You will rarely get a better price. But still, compare it with the pnc tool above. |
Good day all!!
Thanks for the info on PNPC!!! I got the parts list for the two kits thanks to my local dealer!! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/TNEZxR.png https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/TXmtPw.png I hope this helps someone else out!!! Cheers!! |
Wow, nearly 165k miles! Those bearings look damn good for that many miles. Thanks.

Good day all!!!
I just have to share this with everyone!! Maybe it is me expecting too much!! Oh, I don't know... Am I over reacting here?! So, the deal is that I got a set of 8 piston/rod combs off ebay... The feedback was 99.9% so I figured they were a good choice... I got the set of 8 piston/rod combs in a bag that was in a box with paper around the bag as filler... Yep... 8 piston/rod combos tossed in a bag with nothing but air to keep them apart... Not one made it to my house in useable condition... What a complete waste of perfectly good parts!! So frustrating!! And the search continues!! All I need are three pistons... I'm sure I can reuse the rods!! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/ehBofX.jpg This is the first one I pulled out... https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/1V6vvJ.jpg I'm working out the details on my valve spring compressor using the one for my Jag XK8 rebuild.... Cheers for now!!! |
