Get a new engine. Don’t try to repair, it won’t work unfortunately.
@@nikoskalogridis I already repaired it. It's working fine for now.
@@RestorationApprentice Glad you managed to fix it. In my case the engine failed after a few couple of thousand kms. Thanks for the videos
@@nikoskalogridis you did time-sert too?
@@RestorationApprentice not fixed it myself, a mechanic tried it but I think it was helicoil and only on the stripped bolt
@@nikoskalogridis I used time-serts on all bolt holes, should be stronger then helicoil. But we'll see how it holdes up.
Hallo, weißt du zufällig noch wo du das Kit gekauft hast und hast zufällig nen Link zu dem Shop oder sowas?
Nice work! You should realy consider water blasting the aluminium parts and not painting. Paint will chip and doesn't nice.
Thanks! Yeah, vapor blasting would be nice but I can't have it done anywhere locally. So I try to do what I can with what i got.
just curious, do you have a plan in mind for how to clean the inside? im undecided between so many options, electrolosys, muriatic acid, white vinegar etc etc!
it will be in one of my upcoming videos... I was planning on using white vinegar. Just keep in mind you'll have to neutalize it after with baking sode or something like that.
Yeah vinegar seems like the safest/cheapest option… I’m also looking into the citric acid route too.
Do you know if wheel side and diff side are the same?
@@Actyr yes, they are.
thanks for all the videos, doing my first engine tear down and these videos are a huge help
@@tylerwithham thank you! Glad to hear it!
Amazing video!!! really nice to watch! what's the workbook that you are using?
Thank you! They are factory manuals and there's 4 of them. If you need it send me your email via instagram and I'll send them to you.
Great to have 924 content again and SOOO GOOD to see not everything always have to be replaced with brand new parts ❤❤ A lot of this is overmystified and everyone always expect a full everything new, everything machined rebuild. Even when there is no need! This motor will be just fine. (I hope 😅)
@@devisionhun Thank you! Yeah, I try to restore as much as possible. Replacing everyting is not in the budged anyway.
Did the distributor leak any gasoline? I did rebuild for a 6 cylinder MB and it leaked without the sealant
Haven't tested it yet but it probably will, as with most people. But instructions that comes with the kit encourages you to try without sealant first.
thanks for making this type of video ! it helps a lot ! was the 924 running at the beginning of this project?
Glad to hear. It would fire up and stall immediately.... it was sitting for a long time. it was definitely a fuel issue, engine had good compression.
Oven cleaner for the oil stains 👌
@@stuartmcmillan2518 I've heard that it's not recomended for aluminum parts.
@@RestorationApprentice ah okay, good to know 👍
great to see you back on the 924, looking forward to seeing how you get on with the head..
Thanks! Working on it now...
Very good job!!
@@jeremysanchez7884 Thank you!
Nice! Did you measure cylinder head flatness over the surface, every 924 block i measured has sunken quite a bit aorund the water port close to cylinder 4, it doesn't look like the surface was machined.
Thanks! The head is warped a bit, but block seems ok, I'll double check.
Really nice job. Did you have to hone the bores?
Thanks! I did, in the previous video, part 3.
Nice one! I thoroughlky enjoyed it.
Glad to hear it!
Hi bro. I'm glad to start working on 924 restoration again. My 924 is also running thanks to the progress of the ITB and ME221 ECU work, and the body work is also progressing a lot. I'm going to have to rebuild my engine someday, and your videos will be a great help.
Thank you! And great to hear you made a lot of progress on your project too.
Really enjoy your videos, and thank you for not playing ridiculous music👍
Thank you for watching!
Looking good! Keep up the good work both with filming and restoring!
Thanks! Will do!
really cool progress!
Thank you!

That’s great work Armin! Bet you’re getting excited to see things starting to come together.
Thank you, Jeff! And yes, I definitely am.
2:15 my system has a different black box but it the same.. my plate looks like that one, a bit oiled but the car is running fine, could i just spray degreaser under de plate to take that "old oil" and not messing with more future problems? Or if i spray there ill end up with more things to fix..? Since some rubbers and seals are old im not sure..
Sure, cleaning it won't harm anything.
@@RestorationApprentice thanks so much!! I'll spray the hell outta there 🤣🤣 always with care.. last question.. isn't supposed to be a air filter somewhere over there?? I cleaned the under side part of the box, now the plate as you recommend, and seems like it should be an air filter there?
@@TheMrChill_tv Yes, black box connected to it houses the air filter.
Hello sir, i come from the kjectronic videos.. do you know if for a quick clean i can spray degreser or something under the plate😮😮
Sure, some brake cleaner will do the trick.
May i ask, what is the yellow passivate ?
It came in the kit with everything else, just labeled "yellow passivate"
Please would you do mine next
this was fun to watch. thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
As far as i know, when you check oil level at dipstick you should not thred it in, just wipe put back in and out for corect oil level. Its probbly wroten on that dipstick to
Thanks for the tip.
Nice, you're back. Keep the content coming. I have a 96 523i that am hopefully going to start restoring next year
@@rondennismwenda355 Thank you! Good luck with your project!
Great work ! However i need to ask : when a new video for the 924 ? They are EXTREMELY helpful especially if you have the same model :) For instance the clutch/ transaxle ??? (Not for my 924 of course...)
Thanks! I'm working on more 924 videos, coming soon.
Great job(s)! Out of interest, where did you source the new fuel pump?
Thanks! Just my local store.
Last video was 7 months, how is the project going?
Slowly... Working on the car underbody just takes a lot of time. I'm also working on the engine, that should come out soon. I usually post updates on Instagram.
Maybe fix that lifter tick too?
Battery light *
Yeah, gotta look into that battery light. It's a new battery and alternator is charging.
@@RestorationApprentice dont forget to make a video of that! You've got a great car to work on and fun to watch for us.

Great work!
Thank you!
Real therapy
Thank you for watching!
Great job, but after many hours working, using again those old filters......there are no spares?
Filters are metal, so they can be cleaned. I'm missing one so I'll buy spares anyway.
Fantastic finish, looks incredible 😊
Thanks!
Bravo majstore! Bas me zanima zbog cega radi ovako a sve novo.
Hvala. Odmorit cu koji dan pa cu testirati sve redom. Moguce da mi nije nalego dobro neki dihtung oko usisne grane pa ulazi zrak.
Appreciate the honesty of showing the reassembly with painted components. Went through the same struggle due to layer thickness.
Yeah, I always try to be honest about my mistakes. I'm still learning too.

what engine???
M52b20
@@RestorationApprentice My e39 is m52b25 I wonder if it is possible to increase the horsepower?
@@shalvamamaiashvili9065 I guess it possible but very expensive and a lot of work hours. With different cams, manifold and a tune. The cheapest option is to try finding an used b30 or b28 engine.
@@RestorationApprentice As a professional, I ask you, is the M52B28 engine a good engine?
@@shalvamamaiashvili9065 I'm no expert but single vanos M52B28 is regarded as one of the best BMW engines.
Looks fantastic, well done mate. Hope be doing this to my K-jet soon too ✌️
Thank you!
Nice video❤
Thank you!
i'm new on your chanel, watching you from france. Very glad to find your videos, great job and looking forward to the next. Thanks for the share !
Thank you!
Good to see you back Master :)
Good to be back!
Dang, that’s a lot of hydraulic lifters! 😂 Nice trick with the nylon strap to keep them in place during installation. I could almost feel your anxiety when torquing the head down, seems like the stud treads are holding up though. Great work!
Luckily I reused old ones. I don't even want to imagine the cost od that many lifters. I had a better trick with magnets and a thin metal rod but I lost my magnests haha Yeah, I was stressing hard, but they appear to work fine, which is a relief.
Armin, nice to see you back again! Hope to see some additional updates on this as well as the 924.
Thank you for watching Jeff. Yeah, I'm working on a few videos at the moment. Next few will be 924 videos.
I can see up and down scratches at the bottom of the cylinder. Is that ok as long as you can't feel them?
@@TravisRummer I think that as long as you can't feel them with your nail, it's OK.
@@RestorationApprentice thank you, that's what I thought.
