How much in labor?

I see VVT has both the hub AND a bolt capture. My understanding is that it's the bolt backing out each time which causes the break in friction - if the capture keeps the bolt from backing out - why get the hub?

IMHO, installing the Crank Hub Capture kit without the 1-piece Crank Hub doesn't put you any safer territory.

I suppose my confusion stems from the fact that the locking plate has been around for a lot longer and made by the same company. I am wondering what spurred them on to decide it was not sufficient as a solution? It would seem to reason that they would only go for the nuclear option (spline lock) AFTER confirmed failures with the plate installed. I also am starting to think this is not HP related but RPM related and as someone who intends to track the car on close to stock power - that worries me. |

I would be inclined to agree that it's more an RPM thing and not HP. Just thinking intuitively , the hub is turning the cam shafts correct? With increased power and tuning I don't really see the load needed to turn the cams increasing. What could happen though is maybe the engine is reving faster and more often.
Plus with the DCT which supposedly has more failure rates, the engine jumps rpms when shifting much faster and more often that traditional stick. This would cause more of a load on the hub as the engine is speeding up and slowing down through the changing momentum of the chain and cams at a faster rate, maybe slowly working the bolt loose or the hub to slip which then later can slip out when you're doing 40 mph with no load. This is just my train of thought. I could be wrong |

I don't see the Crank Bolt Capture alone as being sufficient, both the SplineLock Hub and Crank Hub Bolt Capture is an absolute precaution to a widespread problem. One possibility is the friction areas aren't simply strong enough to hold in the OEM design. Three areas can cause a SCH: - Crank Hub Bolt not torqued properly or backing out - Crank Hub Bolt has stretched/backed out - Friction areas on hub/timing gear cannot hold on their own or as a result of #1 & #2 Drilling/Pinning the timing gear can weaken the gear, we've seen evidence of this in other threads. Going to a 1-piece solution is the best solution at this time (other than a custom 1-piece billet crank) as it eliminates any slipping possibilities from happening....... ever. Here's the changes BMW has made in the crank hub area over the years. The 1st generation 476 friction disc is no longer used, no data as to why there were 2 different discs used throughout production. Crank Hub Timing Gear Friction Disc 11237848476 SOP-2/17 (NLA), Old Timing Gear, non-integrated friction disc available separately (11237848476) 11238090136 SOP-Current, with integrated friction disc Oil Pump Gear 11417589309 SOP-2/17 Old sprocket, non-integrated friction disc 11418091535 2/17-Current, with integrated friction disc The VTT SplineLock Hub comes with the Timing Gear as part of the hub (no possibility of slipping) and the 535 Oil Pump Gear. Oil Pump and Timing chains have also changed numbers during production, this can be due to different manufacturers or even design changes. Most likely the dealerships are replacing the gears to the superseded part numbers and replacing the crank hub bolt, I have not yet seen an invoice of a "repaired" SCH from a dealership to verify. No reported cases of a vehicle with a repaired SCH having the same issue twice, but there are claims of later production cars experiencing SCHs which may or may not have been covered. As mentioned before, if you have no plans to mod and still under warranty - let the dealership handle things if you experience a SCH. This is an area for those keeping their M3/M4s long term or planning on modding. Some highly modded cars never experience a SCH, some 100% stock cars do. It simply depends on what your cost of peace of mind is.

My guess is improper installation from the factory. Dirty or greasy bolt threads gave improper torque on the bolt. Dirty or greasy friction discs. Improperly adjusted torque wrench during manufacturing. Combined with a design that places the friction disc at near max limits. |

Tom, are you able to provide any links to the above excluding the TPG solution that has sustained failure. Just evaluating my options at the moment.

Not aware of any other hub kits that have failed at this time.

Is it that hypothetically using the capture, the bolt can become loose while still in there(hub) and then cause a SCH? If so, what are the chances of that? I understand the capture might not be a 100% proof solution, even VTT clearly state that in the product description, however they also state that from their experience most issues occur from the bolt backing out and this "fix" leaves very little room for a SCH. I'm personally out of warranty and going with a Stg2 E85 tune and would like to address the issue. My dilemma is to perhaps just do the capture at fraction of a cost(under $1000 parts&labor). While being aware of not having a 100% proof solution, going with only the capture might make risk vs cost sense - if I'd be covered for the "most part", compared to going with a full kit($3500+ parts&labor). Am I looking at this the wrong way? Again, going back to trying and understand the chances of a SCH with just VTT capture? Thanks.

So $3500 now to fix it the right way or $1000 to do a possible fix? Easy decision for me. A spun crank hub may do no damage like mine did, or may trash the engine. Do you feel lucky? |
