Title: need help! timing chain gear question
Post by: xaos. on February 27, 2010, 11:32:26 AM

ok I have a 92 E36 318 and my crank sprocket is way pointed. so i was looking at getting a new one and i went to realoem and noticed that there was 2 different ones. the first was after 94 and the other was pre 94. there was about a 40.00 price difference. is there any real difference between them ? like crank shaft size,# of teeth? etc.



 the part numbers are  11211717913   and 11211247338

The correct part number for your engine is 11211247338. The other part number is only for 01/94 - 09/95 vehicles. They had a different crankshaft pulley, crank hub & sprocket.
