Im following up the thread to help people in the future with this kind of problem......

Engine have been open today!!! :D

peerless : You got 50% of the problems.

The timing chain guide was still okay.....But one the bolt who the retaining it have been not tightened correctly...so the screw have make a bad timing by get caught between chain and gear, timing chain slips over teeth and result in a total mass destruction........BUT!!!

Intake valve are over. Exhaust valve are still great but will be changed (Im not taking any chance with a little degree..;)...)

My bmw specialist told me : " This is another exemple of how tough bmw engine are!!! You broke the intake valve and piston are still in good condition..."

I will post again tomorrow or next week to keep you informed!

23:27 GMT -5 here!

As I said, Im keeping you informed. Im going to the bmw shop tomorrow morning.

My pocket told me this aftertoon : " WTF? You will empty me for this fuc****g stupid car? Are you crazy? You put another 2300$ on this old 1991 shit? Are you okay? In one years, you put 2500$ for the car, and 5000$ in repair and maintenance, you can have a brand new hyundai accent for this price"

I said to my pocket : " Yeah but......What's about the "ultimate driving machine"? With a hyundai, I will not have the feeling that im driving a tank! I will not feel the smooth bilstein suspension! I will not be able to drift all the winter simply by pushing the gaz to the floor, I will not be able to take turn at 80 MPH where the other car are not able to.....and other hyundai driver will not comment my car in a parking lot at the shopping mal, only BMW driver do that"

And my pocket finaly said : " And wtf are you doing right now, ur are talking to your pocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did im crazy? No, I like my german Tiger tank! :D

:p

The infernal machine is back! I have to run at max 3000 rpm for the next 500-1000 KM.

This is the first time I have this great feeling when running with it! The engine is running very smooth and make a little funny sound!

I think I have more power than before.

Noo, im really sorry! When I go to the bmw shop Ive forgot my camera...But, the 8 intake valve were completely bend. But, the two one who caused the engine stop were really bad to see! lolll.....

I think my reaction have been good. Engine were not totaly destroy.

Now, my engine is running really smooth and have a little funny sound like a turbo, I dont know how to describe this.

But now, other bmw problems get on my nerve : STUPID TOMATO JUICE CAN SOUND UNDER THE CAR AT 1500-1800 RPM......

I will try to fixe this soon!

There have been a few people on M42club that I know, including peerless and me that have had that same whine noise after replacing the entire timing chain system or after an engine rebuild. I heard it on your video link above. I've ordered a new chain tensioner piston which arrives already compressed so hopefully that will fix it. If it does I'll let you know.

Not sure about the can noise though?
