Your hot!
Is it a smart idea to throw a torque wrench on the crank bolt just to make sure its still fully torqued?
Trust me the noise is great when it happens, @dmec1 knows the trick to stop it but its not for us peasantsI've only taken my car out a few times this year as the weather is still cold around here. Every time I go WOT and bang the gears I am just waiting for the engine to pop because of this damn thread
. I say you put it on E and let it eat, those motors seem to hold just fineI don't think @SLOWESTN54 has taken apart that motor yet to see if it had some cam issues. But yes if you never wanna spin the hub just get a 1 piece pinned crank hub
Don't wanna get the new guy the wrong impression of our youngest associate. Tryna save his rep just slightly
My rep lmao. Hey come on I deserve some respect, at least I fix them myself
That is true you break it pretty fast but your also back on the road pretty fast
Wow.... that totally sucks. Same thing happened to that youtube guy (vehicular diy) after he manual swapped his e90. Spun his hub and he was barely on it.
My biggest fear is spinning the hub..... and this thread was pretty good reading until page 5 was infiltrated.

I'll hook you up on vendor pricing if you end up wanting a hub
Thanks for the offer.
If I hadn't already put my oil pan back on I'd think about it.
I may try one of those hub bolt capture things. I don't know, from what I've read I'll be fine with the setup I'm running on my e60.
Lmao oh that all never got moved
. I’ll be posting a update here soon. Got the motor apart.@fmorelli we’d greatly appreciate a thread clean up page 5 onward
Those bolt captures really don’t work. Technically the bolt and the hub just spin together then. @SlowE93
100% learn the hard way I geuss. Use that 120 dollars for a real proven solution
Took the engine apart tonight, and I'd really like to believe something in the exhaust side of the head failed first which in turn put a ton of stress on the crank hub. The head is absolutely mangled, the crank has damaged threads, cams are f*ucked. It looks like the crank bolt was ripped out, and the hub has welded itself together now.
