noise from Engine
#31
No Worries JUKE179r. I am trying to fix my AC Compressor bearing and saw the 80mm making some noise. All the Pulleys are original with 90K miles on the Truck. I figured all of them are going to give up soon. I think only the 80mm is worth replacing the bearing others are reasonable. I have updated your list on another post (of course i mentioned you there).
Once i am done with I will update all with my findings.
I see you are a Bimmer fan I have a Z4 and 528i love it.
Thanks

Thanks bro.
Being cheap, I ordered the bearings for both the 70mm & 80mm pulleys off of ebay and got them today. In hindsight (and before I made that pulley parts list) I should have gone ahead and bought brand new metal pulleys all around.
I don't have a bench vice to replace the bearings so it's going to be a chore to do.

You can be cheap and smart. I do a lot of research before I do anything. One thing you want to avoid is cheap no name knockoff parts. you will end up doing it again.
I am going to redo my Valve cover Gasket today. Last time I made mistake by using snot stuff on gasket - Never touch that stuff! started to leak after few weeks.
I have a Bench Press so I should be ok. I am doing metal all the way around. I will try to take pic if i run into problems.
IM me i will send you my email if we run into issues we can help each other.

I got all the parts i needed - love the mouse click shopping.
DAYCO 89052 Idler Pulley (Small idler) lighter than original - $ 11.09 (Rock Auto)
GATES 36102 Tensioner Pulley (looks very strong better that original plastic $ 12.81 (Rock Auto)
NTN Bearing 6304LLU for the Large Idler need assembly from Amazon - $20
Continental Elite 4070923 Serpentine Belt $30 (including shipping and Tax) – I had Dayco belt piece of junk.
AC Bearing - Santech Industries MT2027 30mm x 52mm x 22mm (Cross reference with original NACHI # 30BG05S2G-2DS) got this at Autozone for $17
Since i was waiting decided to tackle the Valve cover gasket as well. I am going to get rid of those hideous bolts. Some braindead engineer decided to put those little bolts compare to the weight of the cover. they should have 3 bolts on each side and larger. I am going to replace them with 11mm head and 6 corner. see the pic. will be using a lot of Locktile they were loose when i pulled them out. also some permatex copper spray gasket on both side.
Now the real work starts but it's freaking cold out.
