Really love your content, real DIY stuff, to which people can actually relate. Slapping together new parts that were sponsored is getting old. Fixing something the traditional way is so much more inspiring. Keep up the good work, excited to see this engine fire up for the first time!
Well done, buddy! I think we all here will keep our fingers crossed for this rebuilt engine to start straight away. You've got enough challenges already with this car and you handled them well.
18:25 My suggestion to you, torque down every bolt to first torque specs couple of times, because head is curving, you will be surprised after first sequence you can still tourqe down bolts to the same 30nm spec, like 2 or even 3 times, by some 10 degree turn, this is the proper way to install the head, no manual says that
Glad that you made a Patreon channel, it's a start to make it all more sustainable I hope. And I think we'll all cheers when the engine starts properly :)
Really enjoyed the video. I was doing rebuild work on my own n54 so it’s quite nice seeing someone else going through the same. Fantastic and ultra strong engines. I was scared of an n54 initially because of the usual rumours on the internet but they’re great. Keep up the good work, and I personally really like the longer videos. I imagine a lot of your subscribers are subscribed to m539 as well so we’re all pretty used to long videos 😄.
Don't be scared they really are not that bad. In fact my n54 has never left me stranded in over 5 years. People bitch about water pumps, mine is original at 106k miles. Turbos I just replaced last month, they were also original. Injectors I replaced a couple years ago, and I added a new hpfp because I just wanted to. Once you learn the platform it's really an easy car to work on. Time consuming especially with awd like me. But the Germans know how to engineer things, so the car comes apart and goes together super easy. If you have a garage and tools, go for it! If you have zero mechanical abilities, I would definitely say find another platform. That honestly applies to all German cars though. They are expensive to maintain, and BMW loves using F'n plastic on everything. You can't go to autozone and pick up parts which is a royal pain in the ass having to order anything you need. But for the money, not much can touch this car. Plus it's just a sexy ass car, it's timeless.
great video again, i like the longer format. look at you, you were so unlucky with the new block and this car in general but you did a complete engine rebuild, isn't that a great lesson? i hope it works out well so you can complete this one, I bet the e92 with the n54 is a joy to drive. i hope i could help on patreon too but i'm a bit broke at the moment, take care!
on this engine should the rod bearing clearance be better at the loosest spec? , you can use a thicker oil which is better for the turbo blow by and able to tolerate high boost ?
What gears are you talking about? The oil pump is driven by chain, from what i know there is no way to check backlash on chain driven sprockets? Kad siurbly ant grandines dirba ne dantračiu
Hey, maybe dumb question but what are some good brands to by the rebuild kit from ? I'm about to rebuild a 535i which has a N54. Swapped everything you can think of the last thing is to to rebuild the motor.
This is all cute but seeing your previous rebuilds,what matters is how you break in the engine. On average,even a badly assembled engine depends on how you break it in….do a good run in,flush the oil. No high revs for the first like 100 miles or so.
Best video, watch it over 40 times about to build my first n54, pulled it out because of bedplate leak and already plan on doing a full rebuild
BABE WAKE UP!!! EMS GARAGE JUST POSTED A VIDEO!!!
yes honey!
Shut up..
Nice video. Made the N54 rebuild look easy.
Bro its crazy to me that after a year of banger content you only have 6k subs... I hope youtube algorithm blesses you soon!
I was about to go to sleep, but then I saw that you uploaded a new video xD
naw dead asss lmaooo
I’m confident I will never rebuild a bmw engine but I love this content! Learning so much! Thank you
This gives me more confidence to build my own n54
Really love your content, real DIY stuff, to which people can actually relate. Slapping together new parts that were sponsored is getting old. Fixing something the traditional way is so much more inspiring. Keep up the good work, excited to see this engine fire up for the first time!
My guy doesn’t miss 💩 🏆
I watch this video probably like 20x now it’s a awesome video for me to finish my engine
Thanks man😂
Well done, buddy!
I think we all here will keep our fingers crossed for this rebuilt engine to start straight away. You've got enough challenges already with this car and you handled them well.
Thanks🤞

Yes good tip, when i was torquing it down i realised this, so i retorqued all the bolts multiple times😊
So the first torque you do out of the 3 on the head bolts you should let it sit go back do it again then do the next the next and then final torque?
Thanks , keeping me alive with my build 😭 I get so much hate trying to build a n54 for power in 2024🥺
I love this channel so much so well detailed. I have never subscribed to anyone’s patreon but you, I definitely will. 🤩🙌
Im shocked that you only have 6k subs. You making some quality content here. Keep up the good work man 👍🏻💪🏻
Oh no, not another "my battery caught fire" N54 insurance claime that just happened to also have a blown engine 😂
I cant wait for the next video, checking in almost every day! Keep it up man.
Today man😂
Legend for putting this passion and effort into your cars and for sharing it with us.
You deserve WAY MORE subscribers!

Good job bro , keep up the good work, and the reward will come till than you have appreciation from me
Glad that you made a Patreon channel, it's a start to make it all more sustainable I hope.

Thank you, yeah this engine has a pretty bad reputation, but I hope you are right😃
You have mad skills! You deserve so many more subscribers! 😀👌🏻
Forsett med videoene, underholdene å se på👍🏼
Well done
Dude this is Quality content , very engaging !!. You are on the right track.
Thanks!
Thanks
Good luck man , I like your work . Khalid from Morocco
Always wanted a 335i just to make some power but the n54 scares me to no end.

awesome job !!! wait for next episode

Retorque old bolts that arent supose to be used again can cause it to break, be careful. Even if it is only to check clearance
superbra content bro! Mareritt den bilen der, men blir bra til slutt
Un gran trabajo, que pena que no esté traducido al español porque no me entero de lo que dices 👍🏻😢
very cool
very cool!
if you dont mind me asking where/ what bmw software manual are you using. by the way amazing video really educational
on this engine should the rod bearing clearance be better at the loosest spec? , you can use a thicker oil which is better for the turbo blow by and able to tolerate high boost ?
What’s the cap you just put on called? 38:36
En.Hi I haven't seen you check oil pump gears backlash. Do it.
Lt. Sveikas, nemačiau, kad tikrinai tepalo siurblio krumplių įvaržos. Patikrink.
What gears are you talking about? The oil pump is driven by chain, from what i know there is no way to check backlash on chain driven sprockets?

Hello bro my question is the 335i and the x6 xdrive35i is the crankshaft the same? Meaning 6 holes or 8 holes on the end of the crankshaft
What website did you use for torque specs and instruction
What software do you use for the torque specs etc
which program are you using to look at the manual?
Hey, maybe dumb question but what are some good brands to by the rebuild kit from ? I'm about to rebuild a 535i which has a N54. Swapped everything you can think of the last thing is to to rebuild the motor.
Great video! Are you maybe planning to sell the e61 facelift diesel that you had or is it already sold?
Yeah it’s sold, only cars I have is my daily silver e61 and both e92’s
great 👍🏻
please tell me how you know about engine building at such a young age!!
Everything is on youtube and in the BMW TIS Manual
Nice job lad
Where can i download emanual for n54 assembly?
Did the bolt at 19:00 snap?
No, but since there is so mutch tention it makes a sound when you brake it loose
it was very smart not to use a different bedplate
18:18 rust jumpscare
Not sure what happened there tbh😂
If I were you I will scrap this car and find the guy who sold me 😂 I really admire your dedication 😊
Too late now😃
What software he used 0:55
Ista+
More
I swear you have the worst luck with the builds😂 oh well you get good content for us🙏🏽
Did you get any money back for the bad engine you bought?
No way brother
21:03 Mickey Mouse? looks like a screaming Frog
