A conceptual question for those with more knowledge on this subject than me:
I live in Miami, FL and my car will always be located in the warm weather. From reading the discussion, the problem with clearance and oil coverage revolves around a cold start when the oil is cold. Due to the car being in warm weather all the time, should this be less of a risk or concern for me or is the ambient temperature not enough of a factor to influence the problem/results? Is there (should there be) any correlation between the two? Do we have a rough geographic idea for the locations of rod bearing failures?

My biggest dilemma is whether I should open up the engine or leave it. In all probability and for my bad luck I might have perfect bearings and end up losing $3200 or bearings will be shit and then hope BMW covers it, and then along with that comes an extended warranty for the engine, which is not a bad idea.

I have done my own changes. One change I bought the oil from someone who sold his car so I have no way to prove it.

I am looking for the oversized bearings 11 24 7 838 090 and 11 24 7 838 091. Can you please advise where I can order them from? I live in Europe and I was informed they cannot be found here. I am in need, man, your help will be appreciated! Thanks |

That leaves you with a few choices. 1) Locate a new or used crankshaft. Buying used would be a lot cheaper. Anybody who builds stroker engines in Europe should be able to sell you a used crankshaft at a pretty good price. 2) Weld up your existing journals, and resize them to original specifications. I've never been a fan of this approach, but then again I'm not an engine builder. Maybe some of the engine builders can chime in and advise on this topic. 3) If you can find another BMW bearing with same width, but smaller journal diameter, then you can grind the S65 journals down to this smaller size and use the other bearings. I probably wouldn't change the journal size by more than 1 to 3 millimeters. Again, some of the engine builders on the forum might be able to advise on this topic. |
