Rod Bearing - Other things to fix while engine apart...

mrahp23 · 05-03-2021, 05:28 PM

Hello Folks...getting my rod bearing work done on 2011 ~62K e92 M3 this week. While the car is getting the engine work done, what other 'honey do' list should I do while the car is under knife? Already planned:

1. Throttle actuators
2. Engine mounts

Anything else? Thanks for your suggestions!

Engine mounts yes. Throttle actuators are at the top of the engine and don't need to be removed for RB job.

Things I did while I had my RBs done:

RBs + Bolts
Engine Mounts
Oil Change
Coolant Flush
Power Steering Top Off
Alignment

Change the belt tensioners if they are sticking, inspect water pump for bearing play, check valve covers, oil filter housing, just look over all the while I’m in here items.

One thing that I didn't expect to go bad and had replaced when I had the RB's done was the steering rack. At 67k miles the rack was weeping a little bit.

agree with above

also:
oil pan gasket and bolts

my recent RB job found a weeping valve cover, askew gasket on engine oil cap, and a DCT leak (which I knew about)
