The abnormal wear in some of those shells favoring the edge may also be from a slight defect in the rod (bend) or crank journal. |

Did the rod bearing job a couple weeks ago on my '10 e92 lci, 105k Kms.
Took me ages to complete on jack stand, if anyone is wondering wether you should attempt it on jack stand the answer is definitely no. Either find a lift or pay someone to do it. I'd rather pay ~1k$ than doing this again. That being said, here's a pic. I'd say not great but not terrible either. I'm glad it's over EDIT : Car has been running on ESS VT1 kit for around ~40k km before. That might be interesting to know at least in my case it doesn't seem to have produced any additional rod bearing wear compared to similar mileage from this post Last edited by gnjax; 08-05-2020 at 07:22 PM.. |

20K Miles and that is a bunch of wear. Still nothing to be concerned about since you just started to get through the top layer, but I have pulled apart engines with 200k miles and not seen that much. It is such a relief to have it done, isn't it! Don't feel bad that you did it either - it was on its way to some good wear in the future, but you serviced it sooo much sooner, and that is good!!

Has no one whose posted here in the past ~3mths seen/heard of my analysis of oil analysis thread?
Worth pointing out to those who will/are relying on it to pick up bearing failure. Quote:
Although I haven't come across anyone whose done it every 700 miles! If you're willing to be the Guinea pig to do that, I would greatly appreciate your oil report results and if/when you do the bearings, photos of them in my oil report thread. Just because his engine was 'ok' to 60k miles doesn't mean yours will be, or to 75k miles. Different engines will have different tolerances. You can only get some idea of how long you can leave your shells in once you change the 1st set. Shan75 Did you take the photos? Fezza Thank you for the photo of good condition rod bearings , I will add that to my list of what rod bearings should look like after xx k miles. Quote:
How many S65 bearings have you done before? Are you a tech by trade? I'm a tech myself but have not done any S65 rod bearings yet (I am going to do my own). frankc Thanks for the organiser Cmassey3 The oil on some of those shells hides the crucial point at where many of them wear, have you still got the shells so you could take pictures of them clean? Quote:
Hondaman23 Got any pics of those 200k miles bearings? [edit] Sorry for the long post! Just catching up

Bearings pulled from our 2011 M3 with 62k miles, not sure if any track time previously. Maintenance records show regular scheduled oil changes its entire life. Replaced with ACL mixed bearings from Lang Racing with work done by Edge Motorworks in Fremont.
Luckily bearings were not in too bad of shape. Obviously no wear is what you should see but we know the situation with stock bearings... glad we got them changed out!

Btw, I take it despite the heavy oil loss that oil pressure wasn't lost on the drive home? (which would explain why the shells are still good, as best as we can see with that photo). rdoctor Any chance you could fix your photo links? (broken currently).

So, I finally bit the bullet last week and had the rod bearings replaced with ACL bearings (mixed set) at a shop in VA. The car is a 2010 and had 133k miles when the bearings were changed and I bought the car at a little under 100k 2 years ago. It's been my daily with a 80ish mile round trip commute into the city a few days a week and it's been more reliable than my Honda I used to daily.
It's had a Dinan tune, intake, exhaust, and 3.62 diff its whole life among other Dinan goodies. I Can't describe how much more at ease it feels driving the car with the peace of mind that it won't spontaniously combust and shoot a rod out the block. Knock on wood.. The bearings according to the shop weren't bad for the mileage, they even asked if they had been done in the past which they hadn't according to the previous owner. Looking at the pics though there is quite a bit of wear. Oil was changed every 5k miles or thereabout with either TWS or LM 10w60. Used Ceratec during the last few oil changes.

Here is Cylinder 7 bearing from an S65 engine I'm using for an engine swap. I was told it had 86,000 miles on it. I've checked the crank and luckily zero damage. Can't have been far away from spinning
I also have a 2008 E90 M3 and the bearings were done at 95,000 miles. The car has full BMWSH. This was the worst one from that car... |

I should be getting my Blackstone lab results back soon from when the RB service was done. Although, there was less than 1k miles on the oil so it probably won't tell me much.
