CSL Engine Rattle - Help - Page 2

I have been offered a replacement CSL motor so as it was reasonably priced and warranted I have decided to take that option. By the time I buy cams, rockers, gaskets and apply either my time or someone elses its a break-even scenario really at best. Thats if there is no other issue of course.

A friend of mine and I started the motor last night and beween all information we have the motor needs a top end rebuild if its done right.

If anyone is interested in the motor that comes out let me know. It will be a 41k mile head block and sump bare with the issues described by me in this thread. Ill take a video/sound of the engine running or if your quick you can come round and listen!

Whimper

Guys>

For the record this is what you dont want to hear from your CSL! Video with sound last night.

Engine removed and new engine ready to go in. Takes a while to do but enjoying it a bit more now ive stopped crying.

Just waiting for new flywheel bolts from BMW.

Anyone got the torque setting as it wasnt clear on TIS.

Cheers

Can anyone tell me the torque settings for the flywheel bolts and for the four bolts that hold the front pulley on? I think its 115nm for the flywhel bolts but no idea what to use for the front pulley.
Cheers

60NM then 50`, 50`For vibration damper ( 4 bolts ) . 120NM flywheel bolts

Thanks. We fittted the flywheel back on last night and got the pulley on. A satisfying moment when it made it to the bellhousing for a couple of amatuers like us!

Going great with the rebuild but>

Any idea what goes in this plug which is on the fule rail? We cant seem to find anything to plug into it and wondered if it was spare?
