bally4563 Posted December 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 A bit of a setback to report, replacement engine, although stamped M86.22 is in fact the later Variocam + however what we are hoping is this has the complete wiring loom, and we get a Engine ECU for that engine, job should be a good un 🤞🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bally4563 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Further updates, the old man , has had a look at the reason why the initial engine had blown up . On investigation found it had dropped three valves , so he removed the IMS bearing it was like a pr*ck in a shirt sleeve , reckoning is that there was that much play chain has jumped a tooth or two. Morale of this regardless of what forum opinions are , if you are doing a clutch change , ideally change it , but if nothing else inspect it . I have seen the bearing not only moving forward and aft at alarming rate , but obviously with that much movement left to right etc , explains why it could jump a tooth or two 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris a dual row , just based on the width of the bearing , but I will confirm , but MY 1999 , it maybe single row ,but no jocking totally fecked!! 120 k the engine had done , which with the usual if it’s lasted that long should be fine …. Blows that myth?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Cause and effect reversed, could be that a problem at the top subsequently shook the bearing loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blows that myth?! Dads got back , dual row and a visual inspection, would indicate it was fine , just needs putting out there , bearing had not collapsed, just totally worn out ,giving so much lateral movement in either plain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocky Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 I wonder if this is the issue you had @K.I.T.T.? Your dad's fair cracking on Mick especially (no offence) at 80! Really impressed. Sounds like it's keeping him busy busy but I hope that you will help him in with the new engine sounds pretty sketchy man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blows that myth?! '99 has to be dual row, the change was part way into '01 MY. Bearing should be 15/16th of an inch or 23.8mm wide. Most likely failed inner race seal allowing the factory grease to be diluted with engine oil Adds to the data and knowledge that we don't usually discover as the motor gets scrapped without full info being established. I believe the US class action data did indicate most failures were single row at something like 8:1, but all of them can fail.

Or 30, or 20. I change the wipers on all my cars though. Hats off to the old man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 All come down to right tools, right knowledge and enough time. But at 80, hope I could do it in 26 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
