Very well made video. I was looking at an 07 X5 with the V8, and the seals aren't leaking yet and after watching this I no longer want this vehicle lol. I'll go back to looking for a GX.
I had the same problem with my 2006 750LI. I switched to a thicker oil Castrol EDGE 5W50 Synthetic. The problem stopped immediately and has not happened in 5 years. Trying to post this wherever I can- I hope this helps someone.
Thank you Chris for this video! I am replacing the stem valves for my BMW S65 engine. I find it particularly difficult to do the exhaust side on both banks, especially cylinder 3,4, 7, 8 because the locations are very close to the wheel arch so the space is very limited. I am using the same pliers as you showed in the video, but it cannot reach in the the locations I mentioned above. Now I am ordering the valve stem seal pliers from AGA Tools, which has a shorter handle that I hope can fit that tiny space. Can anybody recommend a plier/seal puller for the V8 engines? It's pretty painful to do 😂
Question: The vacuum line that attaches to the CCV's on each side of the engine...where do they connect at the other end?? My car is actually devoid of those lines entirely, and has been since I purchased the car. Thanks.
Great job! I changed the valve stem seals on my 2005 316i. The car went trough a quart of oil every 1000km/700 miles… but now it burns no oil at all. The question is, shouldn’t all these old Bimmers have their valve stem seals replaced after all these years? Are there some models that don’t consume oil?
@@sasazapadnik9335 Thanks, yeah I know that the N63 v8 engine uses the exact same valve stem seals as my 1.6 four cylinder. And both engines consume enormous amounts of oil unless the valve seals are addressed.
@@nitramh24 youre right, for some reason BMW 4cyl and 8cyl both seem to be much more problematic than 6cyl. its the same paradox as Mercedes, the most reliable model will be middle class (so, E Class) and middle engine (V6 E350). same with BMW, the highest mileage & most reliable cars always seem to be 5-Series w/ inline6. And then theres VW/Audi where anything other than 1.9tdi/2.0tdi is garbage
@@sasazapadnik9335 Yeah, I agree! But my 316i seems pretty reliable now that I've done the valve seals and cleaned the maf, stopped the pcv leak and cleaned the throttle body. 3000km without any fault codes😅
I almost got a E39 M5 this year, but my god the timing job looks like such a pain in the arse, I only work on my own cars and don't really want to attempt that kind of repair. For now I'm keeping my old Jeep as I just rebuilt the motor, was pretty easy lol
Hello Chris I have a question did you experience any issues with the after cat oxygen censors after job done ? Cause I did the job on 2 different cars (750i 2006, 550i 2008) and both cars have exactly the same code. I’m really appreciate your advice thanks for sharing videos
If you have bad guides, then those would need to be replaced, along with any bad seals. In my case, the oil burning remains on my motor and a misfire developed, so I believe the guides are bad as well, and hopefully no bent valves. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
Next up. Open heart surgery on your living room floor. Stay tuned lol. Looking at this video and in my mind I dropped the seal in the engine, can't find 3 bolts and for some reason this connector won't fit 😂😂
Doing all that labor, Wouldn’t have it been better to replace all the seals and not just the valves but every rubber going back up including valve cover
Great job Chris. The engine looks great inside! have a great weekend. Regards Nico.
Been there on the motorcycles many times. Even smaller valve seals. Definitely tedious! Good work 👍🏻
So did it help to resolve blue smoke problem?

Can you reshoot a video about the process of assembling the S62 motor? About the installation of chains and vanos, in more detail
I had the same problem with my 2006 750LI. I switched to a thicker oil Castrol EDGE 5W50 Synthetic. The problem stopped immediately and has not happened in 5 years. Trying to post this wherever I can- I hope this helps someone.
Did stay with the thicker oil or was just the one time?
@@JesusSanchez-xu2is I stayed with it. I have used it ever since.
what oil do you use
Check plugs first to determine which cylinders are getting oil inside.
Great job Chris!
Nice job! I’m currently lapping valves on an N54 in my garage.
The Car Ninja demonstrates reinstalling the keepers on a few of his videos.

Please keep us updated on the m5 wagon
Will do, thanks for commenting!

Thanx buddy was very useful 👍🏻
the tops of the valve buckets looks almost done.. would change them all
Great video. Thank you. Keep up the great work
Nice

It doesnt seem to be a problem on 6cylinder models ...

If I ever need to do this job on mine… I wonder how many times I’ll drop the valve keepers while trying to put them back in?
Thankyou for the video. How many hours labour did it take you approximately?!

Will replacing the seal as demonstrated in this video stop the valve guides from leaking?

I have an 07 bmw 335i it needs valve stem seals replacement help please
OEM can’t you find better aftermarket?
So close to firing it up
what sort of mod support is there for the s62? i’m lowkey considering swapping one into my z3 lmao
headers, superchargers, and still many people developing parts! But damn everything is expensive!
Thick plastic on top of the keepers then press in, will sit first time for you to try next time :)
What does this mean ?
Next up. Open heart surgery on your living room floor. Stay tuned lol.

Where’s your location
will the same tool work with the n62?
It should work for almost any motor, you just have to mount it in a way that works for you! Cheers
@@TheBimmerBarn ,do you minh sharing contcs ,i need someone who can do that around pretoria
I would die if I had to do this. There is just no way. New engine, new car, keep oil in the trunk or take the bus.
Lmao I feel this
That's why I don't buy bmw
If you have a BMW trade it in for a Lexus... Viola problem solved.
Ls swap or 2jz swap would solve all your problems these engines are junk man...
Does this also work on an N62 motor?
The valve seal tools will work, and procedure is very similar except you will need to buy a timing tool for the m62 motor! Hope that helps
@@TheBimmerBarn Thanks
