Hydrolock sucks. If I were you, I would source a used engine as there can be a lot of damage to rods and pistons. Unless you do a full tear-down, you might not find all the issues. The S65 is an expensive unit to rebuild too. Just the gaskets can add up!! Plus the shop better really know what they are doing. Just my opinion. Cheers,

So the guys said if to get the right parts to fix it properly will take couple of months to source the parts. I'm guessing it is better bet to buy an used engine instead. I suppose I should get the rod bearings done prior to replacement engine install?

78k miles 2008 M3 single owner donor for my e91 build. Service history oil changes at 5-7500 miles. Through the Babbitt but not much copper showing. Last analysis shows low copper and lead.
Installed BE Bearings and bolts. Going to leave the shop sideways as I've not had the car over 5k rpm since I picked it up post swap!

So a replacement engine that the seller claims has been used for 50k km is going cost me 7000 USD without labor. I went ahead and order ACL bearings and Carrillo rod bolts that Andrew Lang from Lang Racing recommended. Is there anything else I should do before getting the engine installed?
Thanks |

Guys, didn't he say he was planning to fix and then sell?
I wouldn't put this much effort into a car I was about to flip. I'd just throw an engine in and be rid of it. Wouldn't even do rod bearings as the next owner might have a different opinion about which bearings are best and do them again "just in case". |

They definitely weren't as bad as I thought they would be. But cylinders 5 and 6 had a line through that went to the copper and almost all of them had copper exposed on the edges. It was a nice piece of mind project to tackle, and gave me a chance to change a few other things

Yep ACL standard clearance sounds like good in my ears. Believe these are targeted the OEM LCI 702/703 shells and are a tad more open than your previous ones. Your shaft and housing seems to be on the right end of the scale so should be great. Personally would stick to 10W60 but thats me.

I'm starting to wonder though how many rod bearing failures are misdiagnosed and are really main bearing issues causing oil starvation to the rod bearing? We just saw one with perfect BE bearings come out except two, likely from the mains blocking the oil to those two bearings. |

Personally, I plan on keeping the OCIs at 7500-8000km (5000 miles). Or at least once a year if I don't hit those numbers, since with Covid I've been driving a lot less |

2011 E92 M3 71K miles. I'm the third owner. CarFax shows regular oil changes and 1200 mile service was performed. Interesting that when I took the rod cap off of cylinder #3 the rod bearing fell out of the cap with literally no effort.
