- BMW Engine and their problems
Hi i Have a question about bmw's engine. Everyone knows thats engine this company have a rod bearings problem. But nobody excatly know why is that? In Web we can search lot of reason.
1. Bad oil and too rarely change. BMW recommend 10W60 and perhaps it is a thick oil and when it's cold start the bearing runs without lubrication.
2. There are tight engine tolerance between the shaft journal and the bearing, But in my opinion there isn't a true because 10W60 for tight tolerance ?
3. Lot of things that crankshaft are crooked.
So i don't know what is the problem ? You are a mechanical engiinering and maybe knows answer ? how avoid problem or
how to service such an engine?
