Car ninja great video!! I just had my 2011 B7 Serviced by the dealer to do the oil valve gaskets through the class action lawsuit I’m so lucky I got it done in time last summer 2021.why don’t you have someone come in and dry ice clean the engine ,half the time and half the mess and no chemicals it’s amazing process
Im going to be in the same boat soon, find a decent car for that price. Not gonna happen. Spending a few grand to have an x5 that you dont have to worry as much about the engine will feel nice...
Sorry, but you’ll never convince me these over engineered German engines are better than a GM LS/LT pushrod old school proven engine. Pleasure to watch a true craftsman in action. Very impressive!
Would love to work next to this dude for a day. Has such confidence in tearing down an engine! Takes a lot of knowledge to be able to make a job like that look so easy!
Very skilled bloke, it's worth travelling hundreds of miles to ensure a thorough job instead of the "that'll do" approach of so many (i.e. loose and incorrect spec plugs etc.).
Car Ninja! That was a hell of a lot of work you did. It would make your videos more interesting, if you told your viewers and subscribers the information they would all be interested in.-- how much did this cost? What was the final customers bill? Those would be very interesting to know. Thanks and best wishes.
Jonny, the care and expertise you display is amazing and I love watching you do this kind of videos. Just fascinating. But the one question I think we all ask ourselves while watching these is, "What is the price of a job like this?" I really can't imagine. Thousands? Several? Please tell us wanna be BMW owners.
This is also why good mechanics should earn a very, very good wage. The sheer complexity of 10-15 year old cars and the difficulty in fixing them means that it is a VERY different job to when I started 35 years ago. Then, a two head overhaul on a simple OHV V8 took a day. A clutch change on a RWD Ford took 90 minutes. Owners of older German cars rarely understand just what is involved in fixing their cars and how long it can take. This video illustrates perfectly.
Thank you for all your great videos. I recently changed the valve cover gasket, plugs and coils on my 2006 X3, it still makes a low muffled hum sound over 40mph, and smoke comes out of the oil cap when I take it off after driving. It's not overheating but hot.
That is a 4.8i MSport E70. Awesome X5 when all sorted. I have the same vehicle with a refrigerator, Victron solar charge controller wired to the factory battery, 100 watt solar panel on the roof. This X5 is an awesome Overland vehicle. Few know the potential. Always use genuine BMW parts! I have 200000 miles. Oil seals still good. I have secrets. Don't forget to silicone the pressure oil hole on the Bank2 Timing cover gasket. It will blow out oil. They put an oil pressure hole for a vacuum pump on Bank 2 also.

Good tutorial and tips from real life experience. Very candid and conscientious. How you remain so calm with the complexity is crazy. I don't have a BMW (Subaru) but my valve seals need replacing and this helps. Thank you.
Let's hear what the cost of pulling an engine out, along with some basic repairs? The true cost of BMW, Merc, ownership. Johnny and the crew do great work, Johnny is so experienced he make's it look easy.
I have hung a Humber 80 motor from a tree on end and done a ring and bearings change... watching you is so relaxing... That motor has been butchered by someone like me before you got it... LOL
If the valve guides are that loose might as well change them while the head is off. A loose valve will wear out those stem seals fast and hello oil consumption, again. Had mine changed at a machine shop. No idea how to diy them.
As much as I admire the mad engineering that went into designing this engine and as much as I respect the mad skills you developed as a mechanic, this video proves electric is the way to go.
I didn't get a video like this when Jonny did my N63 valve rebuild... but it's amazing to watch him take care of all the little details on someone else's car! I have no doubt it'll be PERFECT!
Not everyone is making hige payments. When you pay the car off you can out 3k in repairs when needed and it wont matter. Its like 4 car paymenta to get skmething major done.
Hello Car Ninja, Love your videos, but do not understand why valves and seats were not resurfaced after massive oil leak from stems. The heads, are OUT! How will the valves/seats "seal" correctly? life added to engine, but still in "old" condition. Please advise.
I agree once you get past the intimidation of dropping the engine/transmission it makes your job so much more enjoyable. Same goes with lifting the cab on a truck. How do the old guide seals fail? Just get hard or do they physically wear? Most manufacturers have been using Viton for the past 30 years. On the VW side they solved that issue in the late 70’s. It would be fun to work in your shop environment.
The valve seals fail because they are garbage that can't take heat cycling, and yup they get hard as concrete - just like all the gaskets are too, which is why these engines always leak oil after a few years - same with the big end and main bearings - also utter garbage that is not fit for purpose. BMW cutting corners as usual - even just looking at the ancillaries on these engines - everything is plastic - and not quality plastic, cheap crappy plastic that can't take heat cycling - even the valve covers are fucking plastic! Then they make everything super hard to get at. German crap engineering - they don't care as long as 9 times out of 10 it'll reach the end of the warranty without failing.
The N-Series V8s couldn't handle the heat. There was a huge recall on them. BMW, allegedly, tunes their engines to run really warm for max efficiency which just hardens the gaskets. In any case remember this is a 14 yr old car.
@@johnclark7406 true on that. Just figured they used Viton in their seal construction. Of course some engines with worn guide seals don’t suffer as bad. Toyota being one of them. Just smoke on startup.
@@johnclark7406 Problem is, 14 year old V8's from the likes of Lexus & Infinity don't generally leak oil or suffer chronic valve seal failures... and they are plenty efficient... so nah, it's just that BMW used cheap shit components.
Jonny - any thoughts on the tool kit that is available for changing out the valve seals without dropping the engine? I have a 2009 650i with the N62 engine. 98k miles and no valve seal issues yet, but bracing myself for that possibility,
I have no idea if the Lisle 36050 type valve keeper tool works on these heads, but I'd look into that if I were you. It just might make the job very easy.
Have you ever considered getting a soda blaster to clean all the carbon would make to job go a little faster plus the soda desolves with water or solvent.
Since you pulled the heads and valves you should also check for valve guide wear. Its not just the valve guide seals that go bad, the leaking seals are just a consequence of a deeper problem which is worn valve guides. Before Valvetronic era it was not typical to see valve guide wear on BMW engines because by design the followers on BMW DOHC engines were pushing on valves perfectly vertically. But since Valvetronic this is no longer true because they use rockers that allow "rocking" the valves slightly while pushing down and thus wearing the bronze guides much faster than before. So the valve guide seal replacement will work only for a short time while these seals are still fresh and soft and able to follow the rocking movement of the valves. Once they get harder because of the higher temperatures that these engines are designed to work at the oil burning problem is slowly going to come back.
I have the same e70 4.8i X5... I work on cars all the time and even have a lift in my garage but yeah no that's some heavy duty equipment to get the entire drivetrain and front subframe out like that. Might have to sell the thing if it needs this job done. (perfect condition currently except a belt squeak at startup that goes away in seconds... anyone know what that might be? I thought AC idler pulley but nope, replaced and noise still there)
I'm considering buying a 650i with 74k miles. If I develop this problem can you give me a ball park of how much this will cost ? Assuming I get the trifecta (valve seals, timing guides and coolant transfer pipe) coil I save doing it all at once. Would you recommend running away from the car ? It doesn't have any on the problems now.
Johnny . Quick question “🙋♂️ Iam driver who drives 6 days a week for work in and out of town . Looking for( 05 - 10 X5 ) which one would you recommend spec “ also what is top 5 issue I should look for or ask before I buy the truck cash . Love channel keep up great work .
