I am sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting for part two of your series. I will be sharing your Chanel here in Australia with all my friends. Thank you for taking the time to make such a great video, I am so glad that you have this client that has the budget to pay the right man to do the best job. I myself have been obsessed with BMWs ever since 5 years old when I went for my first ride in my uncles Z3 and now have an E28 and an E90 335i - there have been a few really good videos online in regards to building the N54, but none have been anywhere near the quality of yours, thank you for filming the whole process and not cutting it short. I can not wait for part two, Thank you kindly.
what app or website is that on the tablet in the back? would feel confident about doing most the work myself if i had a torque spec sheet and parts list like that . great video
Thanks for the comment it's actually a BMW paid subscription service (BMW AIR), which has all the same technical manuals as BMW ISTA diagnostics has, so u can use both, but ISTA doesn't run on android so that's why i used the online version in this case. Part list is something you have to dive in the parts catalogue and decide which parts you need.
Can i ask how get into engine building and building high performance cars? Im going to school for engineering and its only my first year so i have a lot of choice right now of which direction i can go but i dont know what i need to persuit to get into this stuff. This is a skill i have wanted to develop but just have no one i know that i can ask to guide myself. Hopefully you see this and great video i cant wait to see more content!
Thanks About the question, sure, it's a hard world. In this business there are not many people that want to share there knowledge, but what i personally did is i did a lot of volonteer technical assistance for some rally/race teams, which gets you bit closer to the subject and helps you with some extra experience. If you use your eyes you can allready learn a lot by only looking to how some factory race cars are assembled/build. For the rest you just have to start doing it and need some dedication to the subject, but be aware that it will not be straight forward. There will be a moment that something wil break but anyone that's fair, and active in this business, will tell you that you're not the only one. There are some courses online where you can learn some fundamentals, like for example hp academy, but be aware that this are only guidelines and they won't teach you anything.
No there are dowel pin´s to center the bedplate, bud you have to make sure everything is super clean before you assemble the two parts and you check clearances before final mounting
@@svrautosport1632 Canada , I saw calico by acl, and my 2009 n54 has 150km now so iam having the changed next year maybe when I find someone like yourself locally
Honnestly it's not that easy to say, because it really depends on the condition of the engine we start with, for example this one needed a new crank, but the crank on it's own allready cost arround 1500 euro. Also the condition of the engine will decide what kind of machine/cleaning work it needs, but to say a rough number let's say between 7500-10000. But as said there are many factors that make the price, also parts pricing, as this is, at the moment of speaking, a huge problem, because price fluctuate a lot now these days, due to the shortage of core materials.
Very nice video!! And much respect for doing it properly unlike the other muppets building these on youtube..... (myself)
Fancy seeing drew here

Thank you kindly.
Good to see the content back, a lot of potential on this channel.
Thanks we do our best, but it´s very time consuming haha
Ecpecially if you want some video/audio quality as well
been loving these engine builds lately, all over youtube

@@svrautosport1632 Noted
Will you be posting Part 2 of this build? Thanks!
New to BMW can this also go for M52B30 ? As looking for videos on how to do an all motor build bullet proof build
I noticed you lubed the main bearing bolts, did you use OEM torque spec? 20NM 70d rotation?
Can i ask how get into engine building and building high performance cars?

@@svrautosport1632 Thank you!
Part 2 not out yet?
What is your bearing spec? Did you have the mains machined or crank turned? Are you running your bearings tight or loose? What ring gap are you using?
Good video, but it will be a great video if you add the clearances and torque specs as you perform them.
Do you not need the BMW special alignment tool for the bedplate / girdle ? I remember that being talked about some years ago ?
No there are dowel pin´s to center the bedplate, bud you have to make sure everything is super clean before you assemble the two parts and you check clearances before final mounting
wish the modern injectors could be fit in the n54
What brand pistons are those?
can you recommend rod bearings and clearances 😁
@@damon123jones where are you from ?

Any updates? cool video, please keep em coming
Engine is completely togheter but still have to mount part two of the video, i'll post it soon ;)
@@svrautosport1632 when will the video be posted?
Any updates?
How is this engine running since the build?
@@mixxeerr it’s running fine but unfortunately, there are no license plate on the car as we speak
After installing the rod caps and checking the plastigauge what was that dial gauge for?
Piston to wall clearance
Hi how much it will cost only for working time ?
Did you have to notch the bottom of the cylinders for those boostline rods?
No they could pass by, no issues at all
Still waiting for part 2 to drop
may i ask you what sealant you are using to seal the girdle to the block
Sure. There are injection nozzles on the side of the block, you need to use BMW 83 19 0 439 030 which is actually locite 193140
Am sad there is no POV
How much power will the finished engine handle, roughly?
How much will it produce, or do you mean how much should it be able to handle?
Where’s the next video !!!?
Part 2!!!!!
How much this work will cost someone if will bring a engine to you. Roughly price please ? I'm curious how much money I have to save .

yo somebody send this to ruddy and will lol
I'm here cause my engine is knocking, but DO NOT wanna sell my car🤣 #savemycar
