2008 x3 timing chain
as stated above 2008 x3 salvage car no warranty.in the business 30 years fullly equipped shop.just looking for some insight b4 I get into the job have fixed many bmw floods , hits etc. this one here had very lite front damage (no damage to reinforcement) pulled radiation etc to acess engine,changed positive battery cable, replaced serpentine belt. as I cranked over the engine I noticed the crank pulley was loose.chain did not jump.my thoughts are to set the crank on tdc (with tool thru bell housing) and check my cams are still aligned.I appreciate positive input because it seems as if there is not any written document to this procedure. all naysayers talking about salvage etc,sorry bout how you feel but to some of us its a way of life good or bad.thank you
