As long as you noticed the location of the zip ties changed due to a small error but he did correct it just didn't show it. Otherwise a very good brief instructional video. Keep up the good work!
Subscribed. I just did my heater core ( bragging rights ) and when I went to start my car this morning, I decided to inspect the car before I left. Found oil leaking from the head and a puddle underneath it and about 70% of other symptoms suggesting a blown head gasket. Looks like a head problem and I'm hoping its not warped as I didn't let it warm up or drove it. This video is going to save me a lot of money. Thanks for making this man. Definitely going to tackle this real soon.
Sorry to hear about the oil leak. I hope it's not the gasket, but if it is, no worries, with this video and your knowledge I'm sure you can handle it. I look forward to your "braggin rights." Cheers
You sir are a life saver. I bought one and it has been nothing but trouble. This video helps eliminate the biggest problem I have with it. You have my thanks.
It’s about 4 hours. The manual skips around a bit. The video demonstrates the process in order , tips and the needed tools (especially the special head bolt tool). I recommend downloading the manual, gathering the tools and make a go at it. Bmw makes everything look hard but it’s not bad once you get in it. Good luck.
that was a big job....thanks for sharing master. i realized that you changed not just one gasket but 2 of em.....right? the hardest part was the lower part of the engine. that was brilliant.
im sorry could you explain what it is your doing at 7:15, i don't quite understand where you're putting that screw and if that's a special screw or just any old regular one would do. Also what is you're showing up at 9:07.
Great video , I am up to the challenge, , With your video , brought great hope I. Getting this done . Currently owen aa 318i and watch this video to make it seem possible. Thanks ...
Bro , Your video is big inspiration to many of us who cant afford thousands of dollars .. Seriously without someone showing a video such as this , alot of us would think that we would need speical tools , or with so much on the Internet ,,, that you would have to change this or that.. you made it easy ... one Question, Once I take the cylinder tool and place it on the top to hold it from moving. You had used like vise grips to turn the cam. Was this just used to be able to clean the valves . ????
William Coffman Yes, I used the vice grips to turn the cams for cleaning and repositioning when installing the head. Really, you can do it. I have a desk job, but I like to tinker, It was challenge but I figured I could do it, and I did, so can you. I suggest taking your time, take pictures, label parts as you remove, lay the parts out in an organized manner and you'll be able to put it all back together. I only cleaned the head, no valve job. From what I've heard from bmw mechanics, tolerances are close from the factory, don't do a valve job or shave the head unless it's bad, and in case of a bad head, try to find a good used head. Rebuild heads never run or sound the same.
Maven remove BMW E36 M44 head in 15 minutes and 25 second by RUclips clock. He is a bad man! "Great Video!!" My 2 cents I would check vacuum leeks on the intake before remove. If no vacuum leek I would have take the head out with the intake connected it would save time and intake gasket, overall Great Video!!
+Fadi Matti No, I did not doing anything to the valves or shave the head. I do not advice doing any modification to bmw heads. They never run the same. If you have a cracked head that needs repair your better off finding a good used head.
awesome video what was the sequence you used for removing the head bolts and the tourqe specs for the head bolts as well as the procedure..i can't find that anywhere.
+Ryosuke324 Before you put the head back on the block, remove the block timing tool and turn the crank until all pistons are down. This is done to allow open valves (the head usually get out of time when removed for clean etc.) in the head to clear pistons when re-installing the head. Put the head back on block, install head cam timing tool, then rotate crank and re-install block timing tool. You should only have to rotate the crank a quarter of a turn to position pistons low enough to clear any open valves. Hope this helps. Good look!
+Anne Hero It is the cam locking tool. You need it to correctly time the engine. It's the same tool used for 6 cylinder. Here is link to Manual. Good luck! mega.nz/#!8sVnQRSa!plk5NuBUZ3eInfq-mYm-u5XXOZRFGrc1hHdDSvKSn8Y
Thanks for a really good video. A lot of work! I have a 1.6 M43 that needs the head gasket doing. I think the engine is very similar, but 8 valve, so should be a little easier with a single camshaft - still debating whether I can face this or pay a shop - never thought of the tie wraps for the timing chain - great idea!
Made a hard job look easy. Is it about 4h job normally ? I know the video is less then 15min but its fast forwarded many places. I just want to get a time frame for this. If this took 3-4h for him, then I might allow myself 8h :-) I'm slow and new to this.
Maven what state u located in, also is it possible to change the M44 coils over to the overhead coils like on the manuals think it would get better aceleration

Thanks Maven, I didn't use one as mine is m43 so single cam, but I used cable ties like you and put first one at arrow marked on cam gear. Gonna start the car today, rotated the crank a few times and it works all okay.
Hey buddy, my car started leaking coolant again, this time just from under thermostat where the small tag of gasket pops out between head and block, any suggestions ? thanks
Hey great video. I was watching because Im building the same vehicle with the same engine. I saw that you never pulled off a vacuum element and was wondering if you knew anything about it. I've been looking for about 2 weeks online trying to find where it goes and I read the book and still had no luck. Can you please help me out with where it may go or post a picture of where it is please.

Hi please hepl ....Great video ,thanks .... I need to replace the plastic coolant head hose connectorpart # 115317143738 between oil filter housing and under lower intake manifold ....Do you think I would get to it by just taking the alternator a oil filter housing ? Thanks
Thanks all for subscribing to my channel. If you sent me message or made a comment and I haven't replied, I apologize, I'm not ignoring you. I have been super busy with all kinds of projects.

A pleasure to watch someone who knows what they are doing.
Good job Marvin! Really appreciate the video. Cannot find any videos on the M44. Keep up the good work!

Wished I would had looked at this before I tackled my project . Grate job.
that was a big job....thanks for sharing master. i realized that you changed not just one gasket but 2 of em.....right? the hardest part was the lower part of the engine. that was brilliant.
always change every gasket you open up, otherwise it’ll only cause you trouble
great video man keep uo the good work next time u should try to talk so we all can know a bit more of what ur doing step by step thanks.
Doing the job on a m42b18 but this video helps alot!
im sorry could you explain what it is your doing at 7:15, i don't quite understand where you're putting that screw and if that's a special screw or just any old regular one would do. Also what is you're showing up at 9:07.
Yes, i have the same questions
I believe it is the crankshaft locking pin that comes with the cam locking tool set
good video, i managed to get the head off without touching the alternator and belt some how.
What exact tools needed
Great video , I am up to the challenge, , With your video , brought great hope I. Getting this done . Currently owen aa 318i and watch this video to make it seem possible. Thanks ...
Thanks, good luck! As you see I didn't do any head work besides cleaning it up, It's been a year and she is still rolling smooth.

I followed the manual to make the video, but hey, thanks for the advice.
great video, what is the torque spec for the chain sprocket bolts @ 13:24.
Per the manual 10Nm(89in-lb)
Good job bro , I would also take the valves out clean them & grind them and put them back .
+Fadi Matti
No, I did not doing anything to the valves or shave the head. I do not advice doing any modification to bmw heads. They never run the same. If you have a cracked head that needs repair your better off finding a good used head.
good trick with the tie-raps, I probably would have messed up that part ;-)
Is this method the same for the m42? I'm kind of a noob to the amazing world of automotive engineering, and I'm looking forward to buy a 318is
What kind of socket did you use to take out head bolts
what head gasket would be the best most cost effective? please educate me
awesome video what was the sequence you used for removing the head bolts and the tourqe specs for the head bolts as well as the procedure..i can't find that anywhere.
I can email you a pdf of the complete manual if you'd like.
That would be great! My E-mail is unknownskater27@gmail.com
i have a 318ti and i am doing the head gasket, but i lock the TDC pistons 1 and 4 are up,piston 2 and 3 are down. but in yours all pistons are down?

hi there.. i have bmw e38 1995 M60 V8 engine. i want to replace the cylinder head gasket, is it same procedure as this?
I have a questinon, what size are the cylinder head bolts? The picture on it wasnt clear and i cant fin it in the manual
Great video. What is the tool used for locking the camshafts? Was wondering if there is a way round using it as I don't have one. CHeers
+Anne Hero

To mechanic maven. Can you do this job with out the cam locking tool.? Thank you sir...

Maven what state u located in, also is it possible to change the M44 coils over to the overhead coils like on the manuals think it would get better aceleration
Hello.. so if you use camlocks and zip tie timing chain to gears , do you have to do timing or will it be close to the same?
Ideally with that method it should be exactly the same.

Hey great video. I was watching because Im building the same vehicle with the same engine. I saw that you never pulled off a vacuum element and was wondering if you knew anything about it.

Can you please help me out with where it may go or post a picture of where it is please.
what do you mean by vacuum element?
best video.... good job!
Sei Miticoooooo ! ;-)
Video started good then say nothing after lower intake?
Hello Sir.
Do you got a copy for a M40 engine..??
