I am a fan of all your videos. This M54 series is great because nobody else is providing a detailed step by step tear like you are providing. Can't wait to see your channel grow. The time you and your girlfriend spend filming and editing shows in the quality of the videos. I was so excited when you announced your move to Alhambra as that is my hometown. Should my e46 need work that can't be DIY I will be contacting you in the future.
we do this stuff every day - I just want to acknowledge your very precise videos and excellent attention to details. You are clearly very talented at such a young age and its great to see. Thank you.
I just got quoted $3000 from a shop, $2000 of which is labor. Thank you so much for this video, I just need to buy a new headgasket and one exhaust valve and I'm ready to do the entirety of the labor myself.
Just wanted to say I've really enjoyed this series mate. Keep up the good work! Also, as another commenter said - props to Selena for the awesome camera work, editing, production, support, etc. It's much appreciated!
13:10 one of the most satisfying sound of bolts breaking loose
This is my favorite channel at the moment, keep it up and you will have 100k subscribers in 2017!
That sound at 12:50 is soo satisfying...
Bro you are the best!! Keep up the good stuff. I'll be using these guides when I'm disassembling an M54 for a coffee table project
Great videos, with excellent camerawork! Well lit and your description is very clear. Thank you!

Great video my friend! Much respect for showing your mistakes and going over what alternative methods could have been chosen. Also your gf is highly appreciated for the camera skills and most importantly for just being awesome in general.
Can't get enough E46. Keep them coming!

Really impressive the quality how you explain. Pretty awesome.
Thank you Jason! That was great to watch. There is something about the moment when someone removes a camshaft. Haha I don't know what it is. My wife was looking at me saying "what is so important that you are ignoring me?" So I'm like "Shhhhh..Jason's about to remove the camshaft!" LOLOL. Anyway you two keep up the great work! I will be looking fwd to the next one bro!
Hello! Thanks a lot for your videos from Kazakhstan! Top quality videos and top explanations!
Great! thx for this. nice to see m54 Engine disassembly.
Youre videos are never too long. MNice job. Enjoying it.
Good job Ankur...I hope to prevent an overheating episode in my '02 330ci since I just got it. Running fine currently. I have subscribed so...keep up the good work.
Keep up this great channel ... your videos are very detailed and clear! Thank your girlfriend for great support and quality videos.

Congratulations very easy to read and understand thanks !
M54 Fans worldwide!
Regards from the Schwabenländle
I love these disassembly videos! Although I own an m52...
The m52 is very similar to the m54, so most of what I show will apply to your engine as well.
Nice video . Thx man!
This series is fantastic. Thanks for doing them.
Brother Jason.. I don't know anything about engines,.. But i truly enjoyed watching the video.. I feel like i can open up an engine now..lol 😂 Keep up the great work..
great video!
nice video bro. one day after i get the car all back in shape i'm going to port and polish a M54, throw in an lsd differential rebuild and my XI will be killing it. as if its not already. now back to the transmission slip flush, add some lucas in there, the wheel bearings, and the strut spreader so my camber doesnt look like it got punched in the face as a toddler!!!
keep on rockin in the free world bro
Excellent information
Great video
helpful vids, thanks)
THAT IS SUPER INTERESTING!!!
Casey Neistat is that you? ;)
Great video, I love all your E46 videos, you have inspired me so much with things I can do on my 2 e46's I own
You are the. Best keep up videos 👍
Amazing amazing!!!! Love il!!!! Great JoB!
Nice videos! Thumbs up :) One thing that struck me. I think it´s recomended to loosen the headbolts in reverse order from tightening sequence, not from center and out. At least my Bentley says so for m52 :)
Fredrik Rapp you are right. If he did unbolt everything from center to sides, it would definitely get warped/damaged.
Great quality as usual. I'm doing a head gasket replacement and I've got all the head bolts out, intake removed, headers detached (from the bottom, I plan on pulling the head out with the headers) but the head still won't even budge. I don't know what else is holding it down. Any ideas?
love your videos, I would like to see you remove a cylinder head and install it all back to normal.
The smaller bolts from vanos area you removed are they stretch type bolts as are the 14? And do i need to replace them or they can be re used?
Greetings from Poland ;)
Great video thank u
Great serious! I'll be using this as my guide for a rebuild on a boosted engine. Question: Wouldn't it be easier to turn the crank 45° before removing both timing chains?
thanks great info
2001 M54, 330i, I saw other videos where it was said, "If the camshaft bearing jounals are scored, you a new head". Especially the frontmost where is oil retainer "piston ring", a metal expansión ring wiping on a metal hounal, is located. Every time I see the camshaft come out of one of these staight six motors I want to see this área to detect wear. I Heard that @2008 BMW started with phenelik (sp) rings to prevent the rapid wearing of that oil seal application. Pleasee show this in some future video. And witth no other damage to the head, other tan clean up and perhaps reflattening via Stone planer, compare the Price of new camshafts and bearing blocks to buying a much newer complete head. You do great work----Folks like you is to who the World belongs.
great Job
Im working on one right now. I found it hard to believe i gotta drop the frame to swap.out the engine...do to my lack of space i was thinking. If i remove the converters and passenger engine mount bracket. Would that give me enough room to swing the engine to the right to pass the front dif to pull the engine upward
To get the head studs off I had to use a grinder to grind down the socket.
Hi can you please tell me if the two left handed vanos bolts have to be put in to a certain torque spec or hand tight?
Master!!
These are dope you should do one more for a working 330 convertible engine or if you did this for a transmission it would be great too.
I will be doing a zf trans diassembly soon.
I have to do this on my X5 with the same motor. It’s not overheating, but has coolant disappearing. My question is.. how often do the threads come out with the head bolts?? I’m real worried about, I actually had a dream about it lol
Is there also a lifter block on the S85 V10?
so since you don't have to lock the flywheel I'm guessing it's automatic. is there something else you need to do to lock the flexplate
I need a video like this about Bmw X6 2008, please share if you know. Thanks!
Other guides say to start with the outer head bolts and work your way inwards, I did it the opposite way and wound up with a head warped 5 thousandths despite no head gasket issues or overheating. I hope it doesn't matter, but I wonder where the logic comes from.
Please mate I need your help
I did tight the bolts on the exauhst side on th vinous I thought they tighting so end up the bolt won’t come off they just keep turning around maybe I tight them so bad till they won’t come out any more but they lose not tight any. Trick how remove them
Can u upload the video for assembling the timing back for e46 for me please... ?
Jason, at time 6:46, you start working on removing the camshafts. Instead of doing that, can I skip the camshafts and remove the head with cams still installed?
Thx alot!
can you do one for n52 incliding how to the timing ?
hey what web site is good to buy engine rebuilt diagrams form bmw !! thank you !
Can Valve cover bolts and head bolts be re-used?
Where did you get your torx socket From?
I’m in the prosess of changing the head gasket on my m54b30 engine and I removed all of the studs for the camshafts. Now as I am installing the studs I noticed that 6 of them have a little longer section of thread then the others. Do anybody know where these go?
the timming chain don't fall's because the timming chain has a slash and that holds it and keeps it at place
Love the series and your e46 where are you at in cali though i want to do some aftermarket work on my e46
Thanks and I am in alhambra
do you have video of engine assembly?
Hey man what's the instrumental @4:55 ? Its a really dope beat
Can you please have a video on re timing the M54 engine, and check the timing after re timed
Will show this in the rebuild series
Great video, very informative. Too bad it's interrupted by commercials. Hey TH-cam, if I want to see commercials, I'll watch television.
Hello everybody sorry but my english is not very good i am from México got a problem with my engyne and the block have two big holes and a pistón is broken i went to a place and they toll me so is possible rebuild the block what do you think about ? It will be secure or i buy other block??
question of the day.
Is it possible to use a head from a m54b30 on a m54b22?
LE:
I was hoping for bigger valve size, but are the same size, unfortunately
This is why you can appreciate what Honda did with their Variable Timing mechanism.... Too many moving parts for such small power..
شكراً
I am just curious to know why do you need to go only a quarter turn at the time for a3 and a5 for example...?
gegervary it to loosen the cam evenly. The valves are putting pressure against the cam shaft and if you don’t loosen them in steps you can bend the shaft
weird I could swear on the m47 E is marked Exhaust and A for Air inlet cam
Is it possible to remove the timing chain cover, pop the timing chain off the crank, and remove the head with cams and vanos chain still attached? This won't require retiming and would be way easier, especially in my case where I'm just checking the head gasket and bottom end.
I’m also waiting for an answer 🤯
@@infamousfamous3351 The only reason I can think of since doing my rebuild is that the timing cover needs to go back on before the head, otherwise you'll get a leak.This isn't possible with the head left fully assembled. Also, the timing job isn't too bad- just need the $100 tool.
M54B25 motorun arka kısmından üsten yağ kacagi var nedeni nedir
Hi breather my car bmw730v8 1996I have a problem in the car I closed the doors and the opening of the flex and th suit to open the door and a box there is no way to open the fall of the locker and the fand
Help can someone help me I’m doing my head gasket I wasn’t careful with lifter caps they are not all the same one seems deeper can someone help me figure out where they go ? Please
❤❤❤
Good video! How about a short video on your shop.
What are you doing to get new customers in California.?
How is the transition going?
How do you like it so far? What area are you in? City or rural area?
Thanks, and I will make one soon. Mostly word of mouth and I have had quite a few subscribers stop by. It's different out here for sure, but I'm staying very busy with school, and the shop so haven't had much time to really explore around here. I am in Alhambra which is 10 min outside of LA but still considered the city.
ShopLifeTV Get some business classes!
Stay safe and keep on keeping on!
Crap, I forgot to ask. I have a 2001 330XI
customer ran it hot. motor runs but misses bad. What or how do you sell parts? EBay or ??
Do we have to remove the manifold?
for the Intake manifold, no. i just came back from the junkyard yesterday to take some pistons out of the same engine and i just left the intake on to save time. came off no problem.
Thumb up...
Thanks for sharing.......Great!.....Thumbs Up!.......Where did you learn your Mechanic Skills? Self Taught?
Thanks! and yes self-taught.
That is awesome! I tried to learn as much as I can on my own. You have reached a very high competent expert level.
This is oddly therapeutic.
