10w60! That's seems a bit heavy for s55?🙈
Isn't that the old s54 oil spec? |

Hi - my tick started after getting crankub, downpipes, chargepipes, stage 2 and spark plugs done at ssr performance. The car is back in the shop and they’re saying the ticking on cold start is likely due to the lifters/rockers on the exhaust camshaft side. Problem is I went in and got the stuff done post warranty and tuned the car etc. SSR said the lifter tick is not relevant to the crankhub job but it didn’t exist prior to getting the work done.
They have the car now and the shop has been great overall; they’re even installing the Mosselman oil thermostat I ordered (the stage 2 and the down pipes and all seem to be running a little hotter than before - nothing crazy, just the second line - I believe 220 in efficient mode. Figured I might as well have that installed during this issue being resolved. They haven’t dug into the car yet but I will circle back with updates. |

Fixing the ticking / loose exhaust cam is a 10 minute job when they've got the cam cover off which they had to do to fit the crank hub anyway.
Few £ for the bolts that's it. They might have disturbed if fitting the cam locking assembly to fit the hub. |

Yeah, problem is they’re taking it all apart after they had already done the crankhub work (a couple weeks apart). I’m going to let them know about the cam locking - they’re currently quoting $3750 for the work due to the labor. I did just get all the crankhub, chargepipes, down pipe, stage 2 done a few weeks prior and shelled out a good amount for that previously.
Relevant topic: myself and another person also seem to be experiencing similar issues: link to topic: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2052754 |

Thanks @doughboy! For a reference for everyone, the tick started after install. Still getting details on the issues after diagnosis but pretty sure it’s a cam tick.

Thing is any bolt that is TTY (stretch) as indicated by torque plus angle spec MUST be replaced every time. The angle turn is the stretch stage of clamping. If you do that twice you'll end up exceeding the elastic stage of the bolt and weaken it. If they missed it off there REP that's bad. They're so cheap it's a no brainer. I know, my indy removed the cam to check for journal wear. |

Hello ,
