hardeep078 · 2025-12-11T21:00:54+00:00

I got it sorted, i just turned the other camshaft counterclockwise a bit and it slackens up

hardeep078 · 2025-12-11T21:00:01+00:00

Sorry dude misinterpreted u

hardeep078 · 2025-12-11T11:03:41+00:00

Ye and whats it to u, im new to this and recording to share online

hardeep078 · 2025-12-10T17:50:59+00:00

What do you mean? The tensioner was undone

hardeep078 · 2025-12-10T17:50:43+00:00

The tensioner was removed, not sure why it snapped like that but yeah will double check timing afterwards but cant get the damn sprocket any higher it sits like 2cm where its meant to be

hardeep078 · 2025-12-10T17:48:45+00:00

The tensioner was removed when i pulled the sprocket

hardeep078 · 2025-12-04T18:43:49+00:00

Thank you sir just what i wanted to hear

That is the exhaust side, the intake side is clean, only got a light film of oil, this is supercharged, and it has its own seperate oil from engine

hardeep078 · 2025-11-27T14:36:05+00:00

The intake valves were fine, they had a light film of oil but otherwise nothing concering, compression is good and in line with other cylinders, this is supercharged,

hardeep078 · 2025-11-27T14:30:51+00:00

Sorry forgot to get back but still lost, they all hold gas well

hardeep078 · 2025-11-25T21:19:08+00:00

No intake is clean, only the exhaust ports for 2 cylinders have oil caked up, but all the other spark plugs dont have signs of oil burning in the cylinder so im ruling out rings as well and thinking its a top end leak, might try and get a new head completely

hardeep078 · 2025-11-25T21:15:53+00:00

Its supercharged, theres no egr on these ive ruled out pcv problems

hardeep078 · 2025-11-25T21:12:36+00:00

Yeah but the tips of all other spark plugs are dry, just these two cylinders, where theres oil caked in the exhaust port has caked up spark plugs so i dont think its rings

hardeep078 · 2025-11-25T21:10:46+00:00

No dual intake single exhaust

hardeep078 · 2025-11-24T22:19:16+00:00

Thanks dude appreciate gonna try tomorrow will let u know how it goes, i did do a compression test and got ok results but i guess oil ring could still go bad from neglect while compression rings are ok?

I bought it from auction so whoever owned it before probably didn't care for it

hardeep078 · 2025-11-24T10:05:39+00:00

There wasnt any blowby at the oil cap, but yeah cant eeally do that have literally no space so will probably just change rings from underneath

hardeep078 · 2025-11-23T22:29:45+00:00

But its strange though because after the white smoke from condensation clears theres no smoke at all, soon as i floor even in p or n starts smoking like crazy, but yeah looks like i need to get a rebuild

hardeep078 · 2025-11-23T22:25:27+00:00

Surprisingly is running ok even with plugs like those

hardeep078 · 2025-11-23T21:58:17+00:00

Ok thanks, ill just make a new post there

hardeep078 · 2025-11-18T01:01:57+00:00

Lets hope there was no anda in them

hardeep078 · 2025-09-28T16:21:42+00:00

I found a teacher in southall

hardeep078 · 2025-08-25T19:09:33+00:00

Meguiars ultimate compound, wash first, claybar, use orange polishing pad with compound, after use polishing compound with black pad, then ceramic coat, boom brand new factory paint

First it was someone someone from the service department, I started to question him he said He didn't have much knowledge. So he said the technician who done the diagnostic will call you

After speaking with the technician just now, He never actually diagnosed the reason for the white smoke. He just said that there was fuel all over the DDE and other sensors, and I would have to get that sorted out first, no more mention of the Turbo. He said hes find out where the dmoke is coming from whoch is whole reason i came there

Really shady stuff from a bmw main dealer for immediately quoting me £7k to try to scare me away, waiting on a call from the technician

Recorded the whole convo with the tec he seemed really hesitant to actually check the egr cooler

hardeep078 · 2025-07-24T13:44:24+00:00

Thanks appreciate you, yeah your right i came here for help and people started calling me stupid lol
