haha. I’m glad someone mentioned the pasta in the title haha. I was hungry when I was making this post. Truck was driven For maybe an hour before this. Engine and transmission were completely up to temp when I drained the rear. My hypothesis is the last person who changed it out put too much...

That’s what I was thinking. The foam came at the end.

I recently fluid filmed the truck. That and the oozing from the fill hole is what you are seeing. The rear end was bone dry before I fluid filmed it and has no leaks.

Took a look today - all bubbly cream like substance is gone. The flash makes this look a little weird, it appears like spent oil with no sign of water.

Howdy, Posting to see if I’m on track or if I should investigate further. Changed my rear differential gear oil today in my 2004 2500HD Chevy Duramax Pickup. I loosened the fill plug first, and immediately observed weeping fluid from the fill, suggesting it was overfilled. I proceeded to...

So update: Spoke with BMW dealer on phone today. They disassembled it and inspected it and saw NOTHING wrong with the the cams. They said there is nothing wrong with the engine. Everything is in spec. My pictures I showed them looked a lot worse than what they observed in person. Truly do not...

I think that would be a great course of action. I was planning on removing the cam if BMW didn’t come though BUT Update! Went in person to BMW dealer. Showed pictures. Tech never seen this on the R1250 before. Agreed looked like early failure. We walked out to my bike and two guys agreed the...

Ouch I heard about KTM not following through

Oh roger. I think you’re right. The picture catches it. In person you can’t see it but I do see what you mean.

I was told the cams are not DLC just hardened. Don’t follow what you mean by the “02”? Which can lobe? If anyone has any pointers on dealing with dealerships/manufacturers in soliciting a warrantee claim, I’m all ears. First time for me and I’m sweating it

Technically, I don’t think so. Looking for the manufacturer to do it in “good will”, my factory warranty ran out maybe 6 months ago. & my bike should have the updated rocker arm installed at factory so I’m not 100% sure it’s apples to apples with the document. As I think about it, isn’t it...

I put this oil in today: https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/us/motorbike-4t-synth-5w-40-street-race-p000261.html#20074 In your opinion is this up to task? Should I look into additives?

Wow I missed this one you beat me to it. Thank you for the info. Perhaps you are right about the coating.

The followers have what BMW calls DLC (Diamond Like Coating). I think what many are referring to was for the R1200 engine. Mine is mechanically related but has what BMW did to fix the admitted problem implemented : increased surface area of the followers. The link below summarizes the fix...

Thanks for all the input so far. Truly appreciate it in trying to figure out my next steps. So I just spent a good hour scrubbing both lobes with acetone with various methods. Cotton cleaning cloths, tooth brush, my fingernail. A lot cleaner but I don’t any of the marks lessened. With less...

Appreciate you checking out a video on it. It’s a slick system for sure. I definitely drive spiritedly so it does see more use than others may. Correct it’s a solid cam follower. Any way to determine (besides wiping it off) to see if it’s scuffing with basic garage tools?

I am going to try and see if it comes off. The oil that this had in it was whatever the BMW dealer used . I’m going to put Liqui-Moly Racing Synthetic 4T 5W-40 engine oil in it this time around.

Stock Cam

I hope not haha. I am nervous that it is bad. No deformation that I can see

Hello, I was doing the standard procedure valve clearance procedure on my 2021 GSA with 14,000 miles on it. The oil had less than 6k on it. And has been changed nearly by the book. Please see photos: the high lift intake cam had a strange pattern on it, on one side of the bike. All the...
