In this video I show you how to replace the rod bearings in your engine. I am working on my 2008 BMW 335i with the N54 engine but ultimately this guide can be used for pretty much any car. It’s nearly identical for most cars.

You can get the torque wrench at harbor freight and use their 20% coupon.
This is part of a series where I also show you how to replace the oil pan gasket and the timing chain/guides. In the next video we tackle the timing chains and guides.

Well described
Looks amazing. Thank you for all your hard work.
Is it possible to briefly address the pros and cons of pulling the engine out and doing the work on a stand?
Doing this on your back…..you are a beast.
you should accept donations and use them to reach/teach the limit of this n54.
I would rather see people make money donations and sending parts, or maybe even some other form of support; compared to ads.
I personally hate ads, they waste my time. Especially those garbage dump John deers out that child predator sleepy joe biden; who I would never waste a vote on anyways
70 degrees twice, never heard that….where did you read that?
If you can’t afford to donate then hit that like button and even throw in a comment and subscribe because that helps him with the YouTube algorithms so more people see his vids.
So if i just exchange the bearings with new std ones do i need to do that plasti process? Thanks
Love the content. I don’t think asking for donations is a bad look. I say if you have the money to support channels you like to watch then go for it.
Have u ever considered making merch for the channel? I'd definitely cop some merch if u had some coo designs!
again good content. After torque to 20nm then additional 70 degrees one time or two times? other engine builder mentioned 70 degrees one time, but I heard you said two.
I would install the sepentine belt eater plate while your in there
Why did the rod bearings need to be done?
