Horror story



Thank God my S55 is gone, at least I did the CBC. You hear so many stories that it;s a myth.

I’ve folllwed him for years as his videos are good.

I’m surprised he didn’t do a capture plate given he tuned it and was making it a track car.

Literally thank god you got away from it when you did. Every S55 just explodes when you drive them and it’s terrifying.

If anyone doesn’t want to watch the whole video it’s likely a bent valve cylinder 3.

I think he got away lightly.

The mad thing is what and see how many views this channel of M2 repair videos will get!

Hopefully the bounce in advertising revenue will be more than the cost of the repairs

Over rev due to a Mi$$ shift is going to break any engine, even a S55 with a capture plate.
Just one more reason I went DCT.
