BMW 320i n20 petrol xdrive, in for a replacement oil pump chain and timing chain due to a whirring noise. This noise is caused by the oil pump chain sometimes sounds like a worn drive belt bearing or even turbo whine. It is caused by the oil pump sprocket and chain due to the way it wears sometimes. Only fix it's to replace the oil pump chain and sprockets. Whilst there it makes sense to replace the timing chain as well. Using a febi chain kit which consists of iwis parts,
Iwis supply chains to BMW so it's basically genuine parts fitted.

BMW 220i n20 engine cylinder head replacement. Unfortunately at some point in this cars life someone had brutally removed or refitted the injectors incorrectly and damaged the bore which then wears and becomes oval and no longer seals the injector. The gasses blew pass and melted the Injectors. A new injector and seal would not seal and lasted only 5 miles before it blew the seal again. Unfortunately the only repair available is a cylinder head replacement. Sourced a second hand head and rebuilt using new injector seals. Timing chain was replaced in the past and was in great condition so wasn't required.

Rattle noise from engine.
Supplied and fitted new timing chain.
As you can see in the last picture the old tensioner was so far extended it popped it's self out. This was caught just in time it would seem.

Owner had phoned around other local BMW specialists for a quote for this and was quoted 1k more than he paid.
