So an update...
I haven’t been sent the bleed process acarr6 spoke about yet.
I chatted to a couple of local BMW guys and I was told to take the car to a BMW Tech/Indie shop in St Pete.
I went took the car there yesterday afternoon. Talked to Art the owner. He stopped what he was working on and came over and took a look. He even plugged in his diagnostics computer to check a few things.
He also did some listening with his stethoscope device.
He said the left bank is starving for oil to the lifters (as suspected) he also disconnected the coil packs on the left bank one by one to listen specifically if there was anything going on with the rods or bearings. His opinion was that the noise was indeed lifters not being fully flooded with oil. Also stated that the bleed process from BMW doesn’t work that well with the S65 because of the oil flow and channels for flow on the S65. He’s asked me to take a LONG drive over the weekend, more than the one or 2 20 mile drives I’ve done. He said the oil would have even begun to circulate to the lifters.
So I’m doing a run tomorrow over to Daytona to catch some of the 24hr race so hopefully this resolved the issue!
