Those pins will brake. That's the reason BMW had the friction plates, if major unbalance happens, it increases the chance of a less costly repair. With those weak pins 100% when they fail motor will just wrap up and be scrap.

Mad respect to that mechanic! That was a lot of components removal and reinstalled, awesome skills.

I'm sure this isn't his first rodeo with this particular job.

Nothing is more satisfying than watching a skilled mechanic do his thing

He took the time to check the gasket with a mirror - such a pro! It was genius for SSR to let you film this, plenty of people will now realize WHY you pay the professional to do it.

The amount of parts being removed gives me major anxiety! Such a big job...

Omar, Great Job... your skills have greatly improved on the video side... thanks for sticking with it. I noticed... Now for the crank hub replacement the instructions and brief overview are spot on... this is not a DIY project at all based on the specialized tools involved. BIG shout out to SSR for allowing you to film this. This shows the true value of shops with highly skilled professionals. I’m planning on tuning my 2020 M2C after my 1200 mile break in.. I kid you not.. I’m worried about all the details coming off the car and going back on tight and correct. I’ve had my moments at a Bmw shop were after close inspection I found things missing and loose, but it’s a testament to this mechanic work ethic that it was allowed to be filmed. Omar, as you do more on your S55 engine, use this same approach, your content will be well received just like the E-46 content I’ve grown too enjoy for so many years. So will your following great job!!!👌😀

The R&D on automotives always blows my mind. They have been around for so long but always new improvements. Great vid.

Just purchased a F80 a few months ago, and I'm getting great insight from your content on what upgrades you have done to your car, hopefully I can get the crank hub changed out in the future! Thank you!

Giggly new BMW owner: i have a new car! Im going to climax. BMW car: I have a timebomb inside me for you. As a surprise. BMW engineers: oops. Our bad. Now disassemble the entire car to get our mistake out. At YOUR expense.

Can’t imagine how long it took you to put this whole video together. Well done! As a guy that’s rebuilt many an s14 and other e30/e36/e46 gen engines this video made it clear I’d rather not tackle the job myself. Specialized tools alone likely run over $1000. If it took him 2 days would take me a week. This is a job best left to the professionals. Thanks again for getting this video made.

Procedure: Done! Crankshaft piece: replaced and fixed! Car: 17 damages incurred with ultra-invasive procedure. Including punctured pipes, cracked seals, broken chains. All collateral damage. $12,000 to fix.

Thanks for sharing that all with us Brazilians down here at this part of world.
