What is a spun bearing? Can you drive on a spun bearing? You can have a spun rod bearing or a spun crank bearing and when they fail, it sometimes destroys the engine like in our Lemons BMW. In this video I show you how to diagnose a spun bearing and possible causes. We disassembled the entire engine, every single nut and bolt, so you guys can see what causes an engine to throw a connecting rod and fail.

We bought a $500 lemons e46 BMW, fixed the major problems like the mass airflow sensor and power steering pump, and then gutted the car for weight reduction and so a roll cage could be fabricated and welded in...

In this video I show you how to diagnose a bad VVT actuator which can cause a P1009 check engine code. Then I show you the entire process on how to replace the VTC actuator without removing the camshafts and using only common hand tools.
