First Glance

A customer brought in this BMW M5 F10 into AB Autos. It required an engine rebuild.

Diagnosis

When we looked under the hood and gave an initial inspection  we discovered that the timing belt was extremely worn and tired which led to a few other complications like stretched ring binders and missing flue bushing cavities.

Solution

A replacement timing chain was installed which fixed the main issue. We then compacted the ring bindings and flattened the bushes out with original OEM BMW parts.

Summary

  • Worn timing belt
  • Stretched ring binders
  • Missing flue bishing cavities

Details

  • Engine Rebuild
  • Rebore holes
  • Recondition engine
