  • i wonder how he found a mechanic and shop that was cool enough with him being involved in the process and filming

    • Almost Every mechanic shop is cool like that just depends on the person you are and the vibe you give to them.

  • I can offer you a tip that will help you out.. Until last year, I worked for a performance shop that specializes in the GM LS/LT engine platform, the Ford Modular/Coyote platform & I usually ended up building a couple of random late model dohc engine or 2 of something like a BMW N54/N55 throughout the year. Until you aquire a really nice torque wrench that has an internal dynamic angle finder, throw that torque 5o yield gauge away. When you look at the torque to yield spec, round it to the nearest 90 degree value and use that, or use a paint marker to mark the bolt head after your initial snug value is obtained, then mark the block however many degrees from the bolt mark reflected in your tq value and tighten until your marks line up. I've seen many people with inconsistent values or untorqued (missed) bolts altogether due to the clumsiness of those torque angle gauges. Obviously they work better on some applications than others, but mostly just result in increasing the likelihood of error. Looks like you did a great job though! Congrats!! It's been a while since I've owned a e36 and even longer since I had one that still had a BMW engine in it, but that car looks like it could be a lot of fun!!

  • awesome that it didnt end up causing major damage. Im in the process of turboing my e46 so this is definitely encouraging. gonna double check the vanos bolts when i put the motor back together now lol

  • There is special tools available for the crank bolt, I used to make them for a Swedish dealer. But bmw has a variant to. You bolt them on in the front of the crank where the belt pulley sits. Works great and you can loosen the crankbolt without help I've done it several times. Make sure the crank is straight if you have locket the crank with the fly wheel to loosen the bolt. great video guys 👍

  • I spend maybe 2 hours on that crank bolt, had several people standing on the engine stand, using breaker bars with a 2 meter long pipe etc. Nothing worked. Ended up borrowing a $2000, 3500nm airgun and it was literally out in 2 seconds.

  • Great build! Curious, M5025 rods are 140mm. 5 mm longer then the stock M52B28 rods. What did you do to compensate for that increased length?

    @Pennkraft-Racing@Pennkraft-Racing7 ай бұрын
    • I used M50B25NV rods, they are 135mm just like M52B28. However M50B25TU (vanos engine) rods are 140mm.

  • Don't these have an aluminum block? If you have the engine out of the car as it is wouldn't it be wise to swap for an M50 cast iron block and M50 rods? I've always been advised not to run much more than 8PSI of boost on the M52 with the stock bottom end.

    • @@joshuadunand did not know that! While it appears Europe got the better M3, North America got the better M52 config. Any idea what the ceiling is on the stock head studs and gasket? (obviously once the head comes off these might as well be upgraded but for those who yet to rebuild)
