[QUOTE=ThatRWD;17085886]^ Thats the valve cover gasket. Different oils can also make a difference in how much noise you hear. I'm not sure if that noise is normal or not. There's like 5 different kinds of ticking with this car, some capable of blowing engines. How many miles on your car?[/QUOTE
I have to drive the car for work. No mine is way too loud, it wasn't this bad a month ago before all my problems. I know it's the valve cover gasket, earlier in this thread I said I plan on changing that as well as the OFHG this weekend. Just seems like everything is leaking a bit. 112k on the car. I've tried different oils no such luck. |

It sounds like the Lifters; but as everyone says all the noises are similar and sound similar on Video's if you ask me; only difference is probably in person and knowing or hearing the other sounds on a regular basis (aka BMW Specialist). I too have a Hydraulic Lifter Tick (I hope) since purchase. Not really looked into sorting it to be honest!

What Oil are you using currently, what quantity?
what Oil Filter? Take a Picture of your OFH and Picture of the Front of your engine. Here is a Picture of my OFHG leaking, and I will be completing this repair along with Belt, Tensioner and Both Upper and Lower Pulleys. just waiting for Parts and Torque Specs on each Bolt. PS: Left and right side of my Engine are really good shape, No Leaks. going to check plugs for oil also. DN |

I was on castrol 0-30 for about 2 years...since owning the car.
1st time on mobile1 0-40 from Walmart. I don't feel or hear a difference at all. But 1 thing is for sure. How much is 7 quarts in litres? All I know is you only need 6.5 litres. As for cleaning..... Costco - Simply Green Spray on....wait like 3 min .water it off. DN |

Rcleno it could be similar to your issue, but OP is not smoking like yours.
Rcleno, please see OP's video on his noise. And comment. Don't remember you stating issue with noise....just heavy smoking and Honda dealer not using right oil. OP's noise sounds not the normal ticking of a n54. Also 4k is hardware cost of a used engine...dealer paid installation cost only. DN |

Did you find out what ended up being the cause of your failure?

To be honest no I didn't. The shop told me the valves hit the pistons and messed up the head and pistons as well as the whole valve train. My Somewhat educated guess it timing chain tensioner failure. because timing chains don't just break for no reason. Basically the timing got changed to a point that the valve and the pistons kissed. The most likely reason is timing chain tensionor failure.
