I've done this using the excellent compressor tool from bimmerzen, and soft nylon rope in the combustion chamber. Easy enough! I recommend starting with the piston about half way, stuffing as much rope as possible, then turning the crankshaft until you feel the piston stopping tight against the rope. Doesn't need to get all the way up to TDC. This way the valves didn't drop at all even with very worn seals.

Purchased the tool today! Absolutely awesome! 👍🏻

nice mate, really good info iv always wanted to know, also ur little tool for the chain tension on ur website, thats really smart idea

I need a tool like this for a Polaris RZR There's a company called hotcams that makes valve shim conversion kit Makes it a lot easier to adjust the valves they can sell this tool with the kit People wouldn't have to remove the head

Can you make a valve spring compressor tool for n45 engine? I cant find sny good tool and i need to swap valve stem seal 😢

Hi there just wondering what PSI are you putting in the cylinder to keep the valve up ? Thanks! Learning so much from your videos 🙏🏼

Just get the basic N46 timing tools and do this job correctly. Not worth doing it any other way...

I used a byline rope by putting it in the cylinder and turning the crank to compress it with piston that held the valve in place

Hi @BimmerZen, Does this work on an N43 Engine too? I sent some emails to your store email address, not sure if you got them?

I like your video. Can you make a video about installing an oil catch can on N46

@@erichu9462 If it keeps clogging then I would suspect something else is wrong... Did you check all the hoses going to the CCV? Sometimes the upper hose that is connected to the intake manifold gets clogged and/or collapses and that prevents proper vacuum to be applied. It's also possible that the drain hose that leads back to the oil dipstick tube and oil pan is clogged. I've never seen or heard of an OCC on an N42/N46:)

Hi. How fast can you ship this to Norway if I place an order now in the web shop? Do you have an express shipment option? Martin

Hi! I can ship the tool today, estimated delivery time is 2-3 working days, but it is not guaranteed. I do not have an express option.

did you check if your chain rail guide is broken? you can remove the oil filler cap and try to move the plastic rail from side to side:kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4KLycmSZMLQYLw.html note: moving front to back is normal, side to side not.

It turns out that the n42 engine is a collision and I've read many posts about it not a collision, but I see that the pistons can hit the valves.

@BimmerZen

Жыл бұрын

When the valves are released, they can drop all the way down and touch the pistons. Otherwise they can only open (drop) as much as the camshaft lobes allow them.
