Hey, I just wanted say that I appreciate your videos ! The details are awesome 💪🤠

[@DCMotorWerks]

We greatly appreciate you letting us know!

[@attilacsepe4946]

Loved the video! Looks like you replaced the headbolts one at a time without removing the cylinder head. Am I correct in surmising that when tightening each individual headbolt, you tighten to the maximum torque in one movement (instead of tightening in stages), and then turn it the prescribed angle?

[@DCMotorWerks]

It is still done in stages

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patrickbauer5358]

Enjoy your videos. Curious question: when you all rebuilt cam phasers do you reuse adj bolts? I see you replace torque to yield cam bolt.

[@DCMotorWerks]

Reuse adjuster bolts yes. 15-18nm

[@waltgrizzly4879]

Maybe I missed it but I noticed you didn't mention cam lobe wear? I've watched a few other videos about the M156 and it always comes up. Is that something to be concerned about? I have an 09 E63 with about 99k on it.
Edit: Also great video. Enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thank you!

[@DCMotorWerks]

Glad you enjoyed it. I think we did, apologize if I didn’t!

[@yilunsun531]

my c63 just keeping runing lean and idle lean so I rebuild the intake manifold change the pcv valve the bolt of the intake manifold and the gasket still has the problem what should I do next?

[@KP-16v]

M156 is higher maintenance over M113/113k but well worth it!
6.2L sounds amazing at 7k+ rpm.

[@DCMotorWerks]

Auditory bliss

[@jamesbambury]

What would you consider an M159 bulletproofing? I hear the tappets are already different (not the blackseries version but an SLS version with the coating on the face not all around.

[@DCMotorWerks]

The tappets are the same in the standard 159. The Black Series ones are different but currently on backorder. Honestly haven’t even done adjusters on a 159. Imagine because they don’t get the miles/use the 156 cars do.

[@RedWhiteandBoosted]

Blake! Nice work

[@DCMotorWerks]

Thanks!

[@NABgroupproductions]

On the whole, would you say these m156 engines are more reliable/have a significantly smaller change of catastrophic failure than an m157/m278?

[@DCMotorWerks]

By a large margin, yes.

[@MrXXLERATE]

How often do you recommend replacing fuel injectors?

[@DCMotorWerks]

6-8 years

[@ThaRamboOG]

Should have replaced the intake camshaft too. But again up to the owner. Its his car.

[@DCMotorWerks]

We inspected it. No issues found
