Tsk tsk tsk you didn't start threading the coolant drain plug by hand. Now I will have nightmares! Haha kidding. Awesome build. Halfway through the video just paused to tease you lol.
This has got to be the best engine build video on TH-cam. No bullshit, straight to the point. Clarity, humour, great shots. No music, no blah blah, nothing but engine. Proper yet concise explanations. And all the torque figures ! Great work ! A'd thank you
@@Jerrypkmonkey I am a bmw dealer tech. We do everything except full engine rebuild. I am in the east coast of Canada and the pay is not great compared to other trades. It's the least payed trade out there..I went into this field because I love Cars but this trade is killing the passion, after almost doing it for 10 years. If you love cars, don't make this as your profession. Just my 2 cents.
@@Jerrypkmonkey Modern tech is a rough job, you need to spend a ton of money on tools, and for a dealer most stuff is billed at a set time. So you're only making money if you're cranking through lots of jobs faster than the "recommended" time. The typical old school "diagnosis" has been replaced by learning how to read and operate scan tools and using a computer. In my opinion the trade is being killed by the manufacturers making more and more expensive cars, the cost for parts and getting your car serviced is going through the roof... but the technician pay is staying the same. In this (and all of Sreten's) video you can see what many technicians dream of, doing jobs the "right" way, with quality parts and taking time to ensure perfection. But in a flat rate world, working like this means barely staying afloat, and that's if the customer is even convinced they actually want to spend the money to have it done right. I deeply respect all the guys keeping our vehicles safe and on the road in this day and age
@@ryder2shaeyou ever considered truck technician? I started right out of high school. Got my 310t 3 years later. Licensed techs are making $40 starting. I haven’t worked in a shop in a while but my homies have PLENTY of side work.
Game over! There is no need for anyone else to make an S65 rebuild video ever again. This is the reference video. Even better than your own usual high standards and probably your best video to date Streten. Phenomenal!
A reference video without any detailed measurements of the crank or mains? Seriously this is peak TH-cam mechanics. This engine failed because of a broken crank if I remember correctly.
@@MrSataMan The one he’s building is from a donor M3 with 100k miles on it. Some parts from the original engine did make it back in. He’s already checked piston, crank, and cylinder bore dimensions. The block was honed in a previous episode.
An obvious 10 including the explanation while assembling the engine block! Though i do wonder with that stupid brain of me, how the video would be if it was a large Ikea wardrobe which needed to be assembled. :)
The internet is truly a magical creation. Exactly 30 years ago, there was absolutely no way I'd run into this kind of knowledge outside of a very elite circle of mechanical engineering professionals. Impressive work on the video as well!
@@Angelo80907 Exactly. Unironically all the most valuables skills I have I learned are from random goodhearted people on the internet who decided to share their knowledge with people like us.
You could buy the repair instructions from bmw 30 years ago... you mean it was not possible to scratch you smelly eggs while you think that you are "learning/gaining knowledge" by just watching a video on a shiddy internet-plattform. You still know nothing about this engine or how to rebuild it.
@@wiLdchiLd2k One of the biggest lies ever told was that Knowledge amounts to the level of someone's intellect. Knowledge/Learning especially in it's practical application are simple, just like following instructions. Innovation is real gauge of intellect, but that doesn't mean Knowledge is any less important. It doesn't matter how you gain the knowledge. How is this different to reading an instruction manual, if anything is it not better? How do you think this guy learnt how to rebuild an engine like this...?
Once again, the only bad thing about this video is that I will not have the time to watch it in peace until tomorrow. I already know that the brother man Sreten has done it justice!
I was finally able to watch it... And in one go! I was right, the brother man did it justice! It was fun to watch, but I think not as fun as it was for Sreten to build it. Now it's time to see what happens when he starts it up. Best BMW content on TH-cam since 2018! (that's when I found out about him). Salut! Also, I wasn't expecting so many upvotes on my commeny, Thanks, you guys!
Building the bare block bolt by bolt is one thing. However, recording, editing every single second, every click of torque wrench and explaining every single step, well, thats someting spectacullar. I cant even imagine the amount of work you have to do for us Sreten. Take a beer or two, you well deserve it my man! I cant wait to see it run. Thanks for all the content you make for us Sreten! Take care. 🙏
Sreten's attention to detail, no shortcuts, and absolute devotion to this WITHOUT ANY TECHNICAL SCHOOL OR "CERTIFICATIONS" is very commendable. I'm glad we have such high class, and thorough BMW content. I've seen countless influencers on this platform take their E90 M3 into a shop where they take a surprised face thumbnail saying "ROD BEARINGS BAD?? 😲" and then cut away to promoting some silly mobile game and we never get to ACTUALLY SEE THE ENGINE BEING FIXED. This is why I watch M539
i am proudly one of the two women that watched this video, you did such a good job filming everything and being so precise I thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Man that reassembling of the S65 is absolutely amazing ! I work in the engine team at Mercedes and it's a lot of fun. The job also requires a lot of attention, with certain combustion engines and a lot of accuracy. So all of the details you are showing with us is absolutly amazing! Big respect and also thank you for teaching us!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the dedication Sreten puts into giving us this amazing content. Just spreading those parts out meticulously and symmetrically must have taken AGES! Thank you Sreten! You are a living legend. 🙏🏽
I cannot tell you how thoroughly satisfying it was for me to watch you meticulously rebuild this engine. Man the talent, the skill, the patience the love! Words cannot describe the pleasure of this video. What is even better is the fact that there is more to come. Fantastic work!
That head porting was to die for! Looked absolutely phenomenal. You cannot truly appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into it unless you've done it yourself
I've always dreamed about an E92 M3. But now I want an E92 M3 assembled by you. I dont think anybody could do it better. Thank you for bringing joy to all of us my friend.
I am very willing to sacrifice the video frequency for video quality. It's easy to make a botched up, half finished video where you don't get to enjoy full spectrum of the certain action, in this case - full engine building with all the torque specs and so on. Yeah, I'd be super happy to see new videos more often, but knowing that these kinds of videos take up a loong time, I will not ask for that :D When a new video drops, I'm watching whenever I have free time to watch and I finish it in one go like a great dinner meal :D
It's better this way, plus, when you do need to refer to something later, you can just come to the episode you need rather than sift through the 8 episodes this would normally be
Simplest German engine rebuild: Jokes aside, it was a very informative video and I gained some new appreciation for the engineering that goes into BMW cars
The amount of dedication you have to execute a perfect job while also enjoying it is something I look forward to have. I’ve been watching your videos since you were working on the e31 850i’s. Really happy for you dude that you’re doing something you love while also sharing it with us.
This was by far the best rebuild video I ever watched on you tube. Step by step illustration installation process. Job well done mate. No BS, No excuses. I don't think BMW company will give you this much information.
It's not just the videos that get better every time, but also the professionalism with which the work steps are explained. Very clean work, can't wait until the engine is running and we can enjoy the rich sound. Thanks for the entertainment
I'm a Junior in my high school years, just watched this video in the background of my works for absolutely no reason but man was it great ASMR and commentary. And I even learned some stuff I probably wont be using in awhile, but its good to know. Definitely a great relax video and insanely well made.
i am in school trying to become a mechanic, and recently my teacher actually recommended your channel to us. He mentioned that you are really smart, and thanks to him i now get to enjoy this amazing content of yours.
This is easily one of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time - across any platform. Thank you Sreten. You go the distance and do things most of us here would like to do, but lack the skill/ money/ time/ big balls to even try.
WoW, i didn't know i was one of the three ladies watching, but when you love car's, you just have to watch Sreten in action, because he does repairs right, and his OCD about using genuine parts and making everything look new is something i can relate to. I have been looking forward to this build, and love long video's. Thank you for choosing this as your job, i appreciate all the time you put into doing this, as well as the cost involved to save these car's. G-d bless you, your wife, and the little furry one.
Never watched anything like this before. Thanks for being on my recommended and giving me a relaxing tutorial on something I may never personally build from the ground up.
Just got this video recommended. I actually sat thru the whole video and I genuine have no interest in car engines. But your excellent editing and commentary made it enjoyable plus no horrible music, you let your tools be the music. Great!
Thank you for all the strong content! Loving it! Inspired me to do all work on my cars myself. Recently bought a e39 touring 530i. Toledo blue. Already done a alot of work to it. Your videos really helped making some things very clear and easy. Thanks again, keep them coming! And regards from the Netherlands.
This was absolutely fantastic to watch. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you. You really do an awesome job in going through each step. Keep up the great work! Lastly, arranging the exploded view of all the parts was lovely. Taking the time to do it made for a wonderful visual.
These assembly kind of videos are my favorite!! So many of us watching these videos are never going to rebuild an s65 but watching this 1h long viode is so satisfying. Great work Sreten!
As someone that has severe OCD this was so satisfying to watch, every bolt and every single step meticulously properly done. Thank You for posting this!
What a sight to behold! Watching you put together this iconic S65 engine was enthralling, Sreten. Thank you for taking us on this adventure. I can’t wait to see Project Frankfurt completed and hearing that engine start up for the first time. Take care of yourself, my friend. On a separate note, that sure is one snazzy coat you’re wearing. 😉😉
I never really grasped how truly genius the car engine is till this video. I knew there were a lot of parts, but i never knew how precise and deliberate these parts really were. I now have have a greater appreciation for ALL mechanics and engineers. You’re minds and the way they function to grasp these complex puzzles are truly amazing. Bravo!
Magnificent as always Sreten. Glad to finally see this beautiful S65 put together. Great job filming and giving us such a complete and great content, and also bringing back some of the classic songs that I´ve missed in previous episodes. Keep going and greetings from Spain!!
Man this is probably one of the best video of the channel. The effort you put into this engine rebuild is incredible: for each single component you have looked for the highest quality and for possibile improvement over stock part, then you have assembled everything with unique precision and attention to details. And you didn't need any of the special tools!
I'm amazed on your professional work. I am scared of changing out my cylinder head gasket of my R129 SL and you just assemble a whole engine from scratch. Respect man
Just going to say this, i been working on bmws for over 25 years and you are by far the best teacher i have seen, very meticulous and clean, great video!
I usually never comment on the videos I watch. This, however, is beautiful and you should be proud of yourself. The style of narration and explanation sometimes might make somebody think that you've had enough of that kind of work, even maybe annoyed by it (even though we know you're just super sarcastic), but its perfect. The fact that you assembled everything so precisely in the beginning of the video, the camera angles during the work, all the explanation, just shows how much you actually love what you do. That is extremely commendable and deserves the greatest respect. I hope you can keep doing that for a long time to come, for your own and for our sake as viewers. Svaka čast Sretene!
As a mechanical engineering student, this is such a pleasure to watch. Seeing the incredible engineering involved in a quality combustion engine is always a treat.
Watch the engine start for the first time here - th-cam.com/video/XiY0EFWwXmY/w-d-xo.html

These assembly kind of videos are my favorite!! So many of us watching these videos are never going to rebuild an s65 but watching this 1h long viode is so satisfying. Great work Sreten!
this is literally like therapy for me, this is the opiate of my life
As someone that has severe OCD this was so satisfying to watch, every bolt and every single step meticulously properly done. Thank You for posting this!
What an absolute tour de force, enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to the first start.
What a sight to behold! Watching you put together this iconic S65 engine was enthralling, Sreten. Thank you for taking us on this adventure. I can’t wait to see Project Frankfurt completed and hearing that engine start up for the first time. Take care of yourself, my friend. On a separate note, that sure is one snazzy coat you’re wearing. 😉😉
I never really grasped how truly genius the car engine is till this video. I knew there were a lot of parts, but i never knew how precise and deliberate these parts really were. I now have have a greater appreciation for ALL mechanics and engineers. You’re minds and the way they function to grasp these complex puzzles are truly amazing. Bravo!
Magnificent as always Sreten. Glad to finally see this beautiful S65 put together. Great job filming and giving us such a complete and great content, and also bringing back some of the classic songs that I´ve missed in previous episodes. Keep going and greetings from Spain!!
Man this is probably one of the best video of the channel. The effort you put into this engine rebuild is incredible: for each single component you have looked for the highest quality and for possibile improvement over stock part, then you have assembled everything with unique precision and attention to details. And you didn't need any of the special tools!
Finally the wait is over guys, much appreciated Sreten all the work you do to entertain us!
Nothing more satisfying than pistons revolving smoothly.
Awesome, why can't I like it more than once?
I'm amazed on your professional work. I am scared of changing out my cylinder head gasket of my R129 SL and you just assemble a whole engine from scratch. Respect man
This is the best engine rebuild video I have ever seen, wish there was a video like this for every engine, amazing!
Just going to say this, i been working on bmws for over 25 years and you are by far the best teacher i have seen, very meticulous and clean, great video!
I usually never comment on the videos I watch. This, however, is beautiful and you should be proud of yourself. The style of narration and explanation sometimes might make somebody think that you've had enough of that kind of work, even maybe annoyed by it (even though we know you're just super sarcastic), but its perfect. The fact that you assembled everything so precisely in the beginning of the video, the camera angles during the work, all the explanation, just shows how much you actually love what you do. That is extremely commendable and deserves the greatest respect. I hope you can keep doing that for a long time to come, for your own and for our sake as viewers.
Svaka čast Sretene!
I don't even own a BMW or know anything about cars but i still watched the whole thing.
Same lol! Don't even have a drivers license
You deserve that beer pal. Hell of an episode, thank you.
As a mechanical engineering student, this is such a pleasure to watch. Seeing the incredible engineering involved in a quality combustion engine is always a treat.
