​This B47 didn't just miss a service, it opened a portal. This isn't oil, it’s sentient 5W-30. 🧠
Neglected like this, it deserves a second chance. 🛠️

This N47 came in with a "timing chain issue", and the results are 'stunning.' We found the missing bearing material repurposed as a 'Forbidden Glitter' smoothie in the sump.
Resurrection starts soon. 🛠️💎

Another brave soul lost the battle of being a normal crankshaft. He joins his N47 & N57 brothers who fought the good fight but ultimately lost the battle of the bottom end. No more rattles. No more codes. Just piece. 🕯️

This came out of a car that the customer stated had no rattle, no warning, just snapped and now doesn't start. If you're over 100k miles, don't ignore the silence, get it done. 🛠️💎

There is something therapeutic about watching journals get their shine back. The heart of the N47 is officially ready. Standard sizes expertly polished - NOT ground.

If you own one, you’ve heard the noise in your nightmares. Spun main bearings are basically a factory option at this point.
We don't just 'fix' them; we reset them. Standard size shells, verified clearances, and another one saved from the scrap heap. 🏗️💎
Which is worse: N57 bearings or B47 cranks? Let’s settle it below. 👇

Episode 3: The Result. 🏎️💨 From a rattling risk to Episode 3: The Result. 🏎️💨 From a rattling risk to a silent runner. We've finished the rebuild on this 520d-updated timing kit installed, ancillaries refitted, and the engine is back where it belongs. Seeing (and hearing) a healthy N47 after a precision build never gets old. This one is ready to hit the road with complete peace of mind. 💎 Which BMW Engine should be 'Rebirth' next?

The 520d engine is stripped and on the stand. With the rear timing cover and sump removed, we can finally get a clear look at the setup.
Everything has been inspected and prepped. The updated timing kit is out of the boxes and ready to be timed up. No room for error on these N47s it's all about the details. 📐 
Part 3: The Build & Installation is up next. 🏎️💨

BMW 320D in for an engine rebuild. We noticed the BMW 320D in for an engine rebuild. We noticed the top end and timing had been replaced after a timing failure, however it looks like the timing kit that was used was not up to standard. The poor quality guides have broken up, fallen to the sump and have been picked up by the oil pump. The oil pump pickup became blocked and starved the engine of oil causing multiple spun bearings.
