Twangy/butt rock transition music cue. You know the ones. If it's an American muscle show, it's some 50's rock riff, if it's for Gen X it's all something numetal/post-grunge.

Well, ending up on a TV show isn't generally because the shop makes strings of good decisions.

I definitely don't like the timing chain next to the firewall. Is that an engine out repair? I don't see how it couldn't be. It's a closed deck forged block with rib and structural oil pan. Seems promising for big power, that valvetrain looks heavy though. It might be hard to coax higher RPM out of. Overall I don't think we're looking at 2JZ levels though. It's still an aluminum vs cast iron situation.

The position of the timing chain shouldn’t really matter, as long as the components are specced and engineered properly. Hell, depending on how it’s laid out, having a front timing chain is no guarantee of an easy(er) replacement.

It's more the question of how long it does it for..... Kinda like the SR20 can certainly give you the power of a FJ20.... it... doesnt do it for very long.

Lol this is BMW, take google at N47 Timing chain issues. Used in the 320d which is pretty much the biggest selling model 3 series in Europe. Also located nicely at the back of the engine!

It ensures that only dealers will do the job allowing them to charge over the odds for the work. You know no sane independent shop is going to look at that when they can be doing easy stuff...

Really a timing chain *should* last the life of the engine. It's a bit weird but it wouldn't concern me in the least unless it turns out to be a common failure point. Engine looks like a pretty standard direct injected engine to me otherwise. The valvetrain is a little funky in execution but nothing else really jumps out at me. Can't wait to see what they do in the quest for big power. I imagine it'll remove any cool new tech bits but hopefully I'm wrong.  However I don't see how aftermarket/racing companies have the budgets and what not to deal with newer engines (larger DI injectors vs. just putting in port injectors in, dealing with that turbo system/manifold setup, calibrating the very large combination of cam sweeps, etc.) without reverting to older tech and easier solutions.

I watched some dude repair his snapped timing chain on a 5-series in his driveway and seem to remember it being at the back. Seem like a pig of job compared to front mounted ones, but still kinda impressed by this dude fixing it in his driveway. Fake edit: Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kGehF_7P3I

Yeah unless something is wrong in the chain design then it shouldn't need to be touched. And engine removal isn't really that bad a job anyway.

Tell that to the Subaru dealer that wanted 20 hours for removal/install on my motor. I laughed and took it to a tuner who actually has a higher labor rate, but will charge ~8.

The thing that bugged me about that video was that he's treating it like some unknown Toyota engine, when it's an existing BMW platform. He could have had all the tools on hand rather than taking the Roadkill route. "I'm going to make a thousand horsepower! Right after I'm done loving things up with the wrong tools..."
