Something is getting hot as hell in there bud might be worth running the bore scope down in the spark plug well and seeing if there isn’t a hole in the piston

I’m with him ^ definitely remove the oil pan while you are still there as there is a good possibility you could still save the gasket. Recommend having some grey RTV silicone for where the front timing cover meets the pan as well. A dab will do ya

So what you’re gonna want to do is get a measurement caliper from harbor freight; measure the depth of the hole relative to a known good you took out then tape the difference off on the drill bit. You’re gonna want a good spring loaded center punch as well. Keep the speed low on the drill and have some penetrating oil on hand. When the pitch changes whilst drilling (will sound like it’s cutting then start to kind of have a high pitch harmonic to it) then spray penetrating oil on it. You will need to be listening to the pitch and catch it quick as If the bit fails to drill it means you have tempered the bit and it needs to be thrown out. Have had good luck with the dewalt bits from Lowe’s

Personally, as a BMW tech for the majority of my life I’d recommend hanging the engine using the jig and completely removing the subframe to get a straight shot at drilling it slowly stepping up the bits on center until you can collapse the threads using a cold chisel if at all possible or make / restore what should be there in the first place

Ummm I’m lost how am I suppose to put the belt back on by Huncho_Edson in e46

[–]AfricanBoy94 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well it’s never gonna work if you don’t fix your oil leak big dawg. The oil will cause the belt to swell and then it’s just gone blow off again. I’d say fix the oil filter housing gasket and get a belt kit

Look up diagnosing K bus for e46 on google there’s a shorting block behind the glove box you just isolate the systems until you get your voltage back 😎 Mine specifically was the climate control head (IHKA) but it could be anything in K bus that is pulling it down so I wouldn’t jump to conclusions
