    Help with N62 timing chains

    Helping a friend with a N62 motor from a 2004. Basically the alternator seal leaked bad and drained all the oil. I fixed that up but I believe it caused other damage. Car ran terrible after that.

    I am getting misfires on cylinder 5,6,7,8. As well as
    P0348 CPS Sensor A bank 2
    P0393 CPS Sensor B bank 2
    P1059 VVT Bank 2

    I did a compression test and bank 1 all four were 170-180. Bank 2, all were 120ish

    My thought is it stretched the chain on the drivers side when it dumped out all the oil. Does that make sense?

    I have done several chains on M62 engines and have the tools but little info on the N62. Anybody have a DIY or tips? I realize i will have to buy some specialized tools for the N62.

    Thoughts? Thanks!

    Hello,

    got my 2006/e53, 4.4l, N62 parked due to loose timing chain/rattle. Looking for any DIY/threads/videos for reference/help. Got the N62 timing set up tool on order.
    1. got multiple random misfires when COLD, and MIL set.
    2. No codes/misfires in warmer temps, NO MIL.
    3. Always ran 5w-30 synthetic and regular oil service/filter
    4. 145K on the odometer.
    5. Valve stem seals done by dealer at 120K.
    wondering if anyone has thoughts/experience on changing chains & guides in addition to the two/2 tensioners???

    any help/comments would be appreciated.
    thanks!
