Shell bearings?
I read the threads on engine maintenance etc on the s54
Vanos looks complex compared to m54
But I am back in clee soon- be good to see your motor again- it’s a cracker
Shell bearings?

Exactly! Seems Stuart just wants to find work for idle hands. Plenty of people out there who don't want to get their hands dirty but would trade a few beers with someone who enjoys fixing Zs.skmattwell wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 10:46 pm There's always plenty of stuff you can fix on my car if you like, would keep you busy for months

Technically there’s little incremental radical new technology on the E89 over the E85..
So if you can twiddle with an E85 then you can do an E89..
The N20 engine is the technically most advanced engine in the E89 which requires a fair smattering of special tools for more intricate operations..
However there are specialists who can pick off those chores that you can’t quite step up to..
I think that’s why I’m leaning more to e86 because of the age and amount of stuff that will probably need sorting:

Could go into business as 'The M54 Shed'
(PS. Apparently payment in alcohol-free beer is frowned upon.)

My E89 journey was more product development/ enhancement…
I bought an old Jeep Wrangler to address my mechanical refurbishment desires
