Nice videos. One particular area that you’ve missed when servicing the vanos is replacing the diaphragm springs, and replacing vanos gear bolts with upgraded 10.9 strength.
Yeah, I thought about it after I assembled the vanos already haha. I'll be doing a full rebuild of this motor in the near future, so I'll definitely swap those out then.
Nice job explaining the vanos install/ cam timing process. The workshop manual is pretty confusing and the English translation is awful….. btw, on my 2000 M5 I noticed the exact same compression numbers with the Pittsburgh harbor freight tester- 125-130 on all 8 cylinders ( 174-201 is the specs I believe) I exchanged the tester and got same figures again. I tested again with my friend’s quality Mac tools compression tester and got 185-190 on all 8 cylinders ! Also checked my 1997 540i/6 with the Mac one and 180-190 on all 8. M62 engine has same psi specs as the s62.
Hello, how are you? My name is Youssef. I follow you and watched your videos about repairing the BMW S62 M5 engine, the giant engine. I have an E39 M5, but I want to change the timing chain kit, but it does not have the parts that must be replaced, and no one knows how to do that, and its sound in the engine has become annoying. I live in Lebanon. What did I do in this case?
6:15 Did you turn the exhaust gear on the passenger side to get the bolts to line up? I’m doing this job right now and passenger side cams aren’t lining up. Found out I can turn the exhaust gear to get them to line up
@@fksk32l Appreciate you a ton. This thing needs some love, I'll tell you that much. Eventually I want to do a full engine rebuild like I'm doing with the S85 V10 but that'll be once my E46 is fully done (doing some work on it now), and then I'm hoping to finish the V10 rebuild soon after. Once those two are done, I'll jump heavily on the M5. But meanwhile, I'll be doing little things on it like the ABS module repair, and a ton of other little things that need attention. What I'm saying is simply stay tuned because there's also a ton of work that needs to be done.
Be VERY careful with the gasket maker on the bottom edges of the upper and lower timing covers. Too much, and you will clog the vanos and plenum oil return drains.

I'm not fully understanding what you're trying to say here
Thank you very much!
I am from Ukraine and I have the same m5. I will do this work with the help of your video.
Thanks again!
Absolutely no problem. Glad it can help more than anything.
@@YEVSBUILDS such a detailed instruction that you did helps a lot)
I'm waiting for the next series with m5) What other work do you plan to do on it?

190k mileage is good distance for stock guides. This is Internet 2.0!
dope ass content
Thank you man! Glad people enjoy it
Hey Bro, nice work. But could you please reupload this video series without the music? So awful to hear the same part again and again ;)
