Side By Side / Re: 2012 500i exhaust cam worn out
« on: August 26, 2017, 06:52:18 AM »
Had the same issue with my 2012 uxvi 500
Would not start, checked spark,fuel was all good so checked compression
Would not even register on gauge.
Pulled rocker cover off turned over and noticed the exhaust valves
We're not opening/closing.camshaft lobe is shot and rocker scored.
Ordered new parts online and installed.
When got running I pulled the inspection cap off the rocker checking for oiling
Seemed to be ok. I suspect a bad batch of camshafts.
Had some tiny shavings in oil and strainer cleaned out and added fresh oil.
.will run for a few minutes and repeat the oil change hoping to
Rid of any further deposits.
Side note
My unit wasn't smoking or making any unusual sounds
Before it decided not to start.with that said I am reasonably sure
The cylinder is ok.
Hope this helps someone.
