By far one of the best engine build videos I've seen in a long time! Thanks for including all the technical specs, it really makes it way more engaging!
Hey mate, thank you for video. I have a question - How did you recognized that main bearings needs to be replaced ? Did you use TYPE PG 1 to check main play? Or you just bought same bearing colors and installed new ones ? I found an axial play on my n62 and I`m now thinking about to replace guide bearings only
Please upload without the background music. Engine build videos do not need that. I was hoping to learn something from you, but couldn't stand the loud music.
I really appreciate your video suggestions , I am open to all tips in order to create better videos. In my next video I will make some improvements .Thank you for all and stay connected. Part two is coming soon.
What was the method used to ready the bores for the new rings? This takes a special procedure known as soft stripping which should be done by a pro machine shop because the block is Alusil
there is a still chance of installation a nornal liner .. but nobody gives you warranty.. how long it will last .. I just bought a good cylinder block and rebuild the engine.. the block was less than 1500$ not so expensive..
@@SuperFastDriver That's actually a really great video. But doesn't show me where the reservoir sensor is coming from. Do you know if its connected with the harness or somewhere else. Just starting to put things together and I lost that cable lol
Never place pistons on the edge of the table like that. Very easy to accidentally drop one and damage it. Furthermore a paint brush is a bad idea for lubrication as hairs often come off them. Last thing you want between crankshaft and bearings is debris. Use brake cleaner to clean the journals just before installation one by one and clean gloves to lubricate with your finger. Change gloves before each surface to be lubricated. In addition installing new rings without having the cylinders honed is a serious mistake as they are intended to mutually wear during break in phase for proper compression. You can clearly see this has not been done. Furthermore a worn and polished smooth cylinder wall cannot retain an oil film, leading to poor compression and excessive wear. You can read TIS all day long but if you do not understand basics you make mistakes like these. Did not bother watching beyond spring compressor tool but do not take this video as gospel.
Dear friend, thanks that you spend some time to watch my video and comment on it! Appreciate that! I really don’t think that spraying with brake cleaner should be recorded, that is more than 10 hours of total work, I managed to short it out to 20 min video, I agree that all parts has to be cleaned really well I used more than 15 cans of brake cleaner and special industrial degreaser as well, but I don’t think that is important to the video it is just common sense to keep everything nice and clean, about the gloves I spent more than 100 pairs.. total in all 4 video parts!
Regarding the honing, that is N62 Engine and cylinders are made from Alusil special material that can not be honed! You will destroy that silicone surface if you do honing..
@@SuperFastDriver I think you are confusing honing with boring. You need to give it a light cross-pattern roughness which can be easily be done using a drill and a 3 stone honing device. This will not remove any coating or increase bore, unless you spend 20min per cylinder. I know you mean well and appreciate that but understand that some will copy what you do.
@@SuperFastDriver It is important. You use the same paint brush and even swipe the table with it and continue applying oil to the bearings with it. Common sense does not seem to apply there. The moment you apply oil it becomes a magnet for dust and dirt so you do so at the very last moment. Not when the conrods/pistons are on the table but just before you insert the piston and the lower half when the conrod is already in place. If you think this is overkill then you simply have not built all that many engines. Don't take my word for it. Ask someone who has built them for decades, like I have.
@@SuperFastDriver TIS does not teach you how to be a mechanic. It gives specific instructions and information to trained professionals. When you work with enough many engines you will make mistakes. Human nature. You drop a piston and crack the skirt. You learn to place them in a way to minimize risk of that happening again. It's called experience and I could already see in 10min you have none. Again, I know you mean well and don't want to sound harsh but the world is full of people who lost a lot of money because they were following a RUclips video thinking that person knew what he was doing. If I watch the rest of these videos I am sure I would spot a lot of other mistakes but frankly I cannot be bothered. Just understand the impact your videos may have and do your homework first.

Thank you, appreciate it! :)
Fully agree one of the best video for BMW engine overhaul and rebuild .
Really appreciate for this video . Keep going with nice video content .👍
Thank you 😊
Fantastic video, thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you 😊
Great video with amazing quality 4K. Good job 👏
Thank you so much 😀
Great video institution. I like it
Just amazing video . thank you for it . It helps , us a lot
You are very welcome, I’m trying to do my best 😊
Thank you for such a great video !!!
My pleasure 😊 , happy you like it 👍.
KEEP DOING THE GREAT JOB BRO
Thank you 😊
Beautifully explained Thnks

Where did you get the main bearings? its seemingly extremely hard to find
Good video! Great content! 👑😎🔥💯👌🏾🤞🏾💪🏾
I more than happy you like it
@@SuperFastDriver 😎💯💪🏾
Where did you get the piston rings. I see are very expensive in many sites

Amazing video and work you do. I have the same car I’d love for you to do the same rebuild. I live in mew jersey. Let me know thank you

Nice..
What is the part number for the flange head screw?
thinking off buying a x5 4.8I 2008 with 250000KM are they reliable or not?
I am driving e60 550i, with the same engine, I can tell that this engine is really reliable!
@@SuperFastDriver Thanks I will think about it. I am considering the x5 or Cayenne
But they haven't correctly lined up the thrust bearing
the engine is already installed and running fine.. 2000 miles oncthe clock no issues.. maybe I didn’t record that .. thanks for the note
You made a mistake when tightening the main bearings. At 34nm, you should have tightened the limiting bushings and not the four screws
Γνωρίζουμε τι βάρος εχει ο κινητήρας;
what is the weight of the engine?
160 kg approximately
@@SuperFastDriver I have a bmw z3 and I am thinking of trying to put this 4.8 engine
I have heads off now and cleaned all.the tops of pistons. What should I use for piston walls to lubricate? Thanks
Hi, you can use any engine oil, 5w40, 5w30 ..
@@SuperFastDriver awesome thank you.
@@SuperFastDriver is your power steering reservoir on passenger or driver side?
@@radianm6 it’s located on the passenger side, check that video:

Hey do you think it’s possible to swap n62b44 manual with a n62b48 automatic ?
everything is possible, but is it worth it.. if you ask me . I would not waste my time ..
Hi, do you know if there is there an aftermarket crankshaft currently available to increase the stroke length?
as far as I know there is no any aftermarket crankshaft for that engine
👍👍👍
Re-using all the bolts?
the bolts for the cylinder head, conrods, main bearing caps and the central crankshaft bolt have to be replaced!
Hi
Interesting video, but I can't hear a thing because of that too loud music...
Thank you for your comment. Apologies for it, but don’t forget that subtitles are available on your own language.
Music is too loud over your voic
