- Hey guys, i had to reupload this video because of copyright issues. Anyway this is a diy motor build. My main goal is to see if you can build an n54 in your own garage without being an experienced builder. Wish me luck. Also go watch my previous video to see how the motor preforms.
Is it just me or does this seem remarkably simple?
I'm sure the cams and VANOS takes some patience.
Staying organized seems very important
@@exemch4826this! My biggest issues came from being unorganized. But hey lesson learned
He makes it look easy lol
Doing is easy, knowing is difficult
holy shit that was awesome to watch haha, looks insane!
I need rebuild manuel of n54b30a plz
full rebuild in ONE video! seriously man! I hope this blows up! great content.
Hope it blows up 😂
This aged well
@@kodiakfourninedid it blow up ?
How much did you spend and can you make a parts list?
@941garage
I wish I had thus much confidence and time to build mine instead of wasting money at a shop
Good vid. One thing I always do when rebuilding an engine though is just have a paint pen when torqueing down mains, rods, or head bolts. Just in case something happens when doing it you can easily remember where you're at still.
What tools should I invest in for a project 335i? I'm prolly going to single turbo it after maintenance, this will be my first European car once I find a good one.
A good torque wrench, torque sockets, inverted torque sockets, timing kit, front main seal tool and engine support bar. Screw drivers long/short, mostly just the basic tools. You will buy what you need along the way lol.
Been wanting to take on a project with this N54 platform.
With this information it’s confidence inspiring. Would love it in a 135i e8x
This guy really did the WHOLE thing in one vid! So awesome!
Thanks bro, was gonna do multiple parts but it was just easier to do everything in one video.
Great vid man. This answered my question about what rods you went with that I posted on another video. I also went with arp but did oversized studs because the heads came that way. Curuious why you didn't go with a Schrick or Cat Cams camshaft? I was talked out of it but still wish I would have.
What do u do for work? Just curious. This equipment and all your mods are not cheap whatsoever. Just tryna get to a similar spot so I can work on engines all day.
We still wondering bruh? We tryna get right like you.
@@RyanMayneee idk I guess it was insulting. I’m getting through a bmw technician school and I wanna use my skills in the performance industry or at least building cars to some degree.
@@BumpTune8462 nah your good man, I’m a tile installer. I just do this for fun on the side, maybe one day this will be my full time job lol. Work hard brother because in the end it will be worth it.
Yeah.... Bmw 6cyl engines is very expensive and complex, average workers or even middle class rarely can afford this cars!!! Bmw engine even more expensive than v8 Ls3 chevy for maintenance.....
@@bombombimbim440 i believe that , i blew up my turbos on mine lmao
Saw rebuild from engine shop from 4 or 5 yrs ago. He stated he used different size bearing for cylinder 1.
I used the dodge rtv on mine same one they use for the hellcats
I learned you do precise job like this it runs until it falls apart from things other than what you did.
Eh. Doing all that, I would’ve done a one-piece crank hub.
I mean… if that crank hub spins, there goes your built engine.
i'd use permatex MotoSeal. Stands up to gasoline and oil and heat much better. same as yamabond, suzukibond, hondabond etc.
That wasn’t 160 degrees… that was 360… 😢😢
Did I say 160? 😅
Rtv is the wrong stuff, you have to fill out the space between block and bedplate with the bmw stuff
Any links for the parts? Or part numbers?
Looks almost as simple as a Cummins to assemble. It's like a mini version besides the bedplate. Loved the video man, I bet she rips! My poor awd n54 has been sitting for a year lol I can't decide if I want twins again or a single.
fat single
nice vid ! some notes for high HP n54s taken from other peoples build experience
*those cutring gaskets on the n54 tend to leak, stick with oem
*9mm arp can lift the head if you run high boost - 11mm with nsl300 is the way to go or OEM
*Pinned crankhub is a better design than friction washers.
Thanks for the feed back, Watch my previous video, I swapped that cutring gasket out. And yes ik I should have went with all 11mm arp studs and will be swapping those 9mm outs. As for for the crank hub I went with the VTT spline hud, works just as good as a pinned hub.
@@941garagehow long did it take you to swap it? i just put my built motor in but it has an cutting ring gasket. haven’t started it yet.
“160 degrees” 15:27
That was 360 degrees… 15:41
Really good, Impressive Job. Hopefully Runs Perfect.
This is very nice bro, greetings from France 🇫🇷
You just saved 3:58 👟 👍🏽
You said 160° but you did 180° 🤔
Why was it still smoking?
Can you build my motor for me
ngl this kinda makes me want an n54
y would u feel the need to lie anyway
Athena headgasket ? Get ready to rebuild your engine again.
Watch my previous video I swapped that gasket out.
Super dope video bro, you gained a sub today
So satisfying to watch this video
Pro at work
using rtv on the bedplate was very questionable
I built 4 motors so far using rtv on the bedplate, no leaks or issues whatsoever. I don’t see a reason for spending and extra $200 on some sealant.
I wish you could build an engine for my 335....such a great car
Did you really not replace the exhaust valves? I definitely would have just for peace of mind
Hey man im curious to know why didnyou rebuild the new motor instead of the old one? Im in the same position now. A friend is offering a running one for 700 bucks but it has a lot of miles. My 335 only has 75k miles on it so i think thats better to repair?
Only issue I got is that he didn’t show putting valves in or putting the head on. Other than that, this video was awesome!! Thank you for going in to such great detail
Where do you get your service repair manual? It so hard to find an bmw engine rebuilder here in North Carolina. I have 2012 bmw 335i
What career did you follow?
construction
What was the protrusion of the piston above the engine block?
hi man, very good video, where did you find the technical information for the tightening torques and the different clearances between the elements?
how much hp can these internals take? how do you close the deck?
That’s what I’ve been trying to tell people if you have mechanical skills then bmw’s are relatively easy and cheap to work on
You can sell this in Netherlands for €6000
Clean rebuild video 👍
Hey, what's your e-torque wrench?
Scariest thing for me is the timing not sure how hard that is
I have a n54 Would you build my motor?
Thanks. I need o do this for my 4 series. Where did u get ur parts.
How do you know when those Apr studs hit bottom 😂
15:25 bro why you ask 160 and do 360?
How much did all this cost you?
How is the engine running??
No assembly lube is insane.
Watd u use for head studs?
14:10 what is that tool called ?
You installed the valves, especially the exhaust valves without lapping?
No, all valves were lapped. Both intake and exhaust
If your building for 1000+ hp should you just go for a swap? I heard horror stories of N54 guys blowing up their fully built engines at 8-900whp.
the head is pretty restrictive from what i know so getting that hp level is difficult
never used anything other than bmw sealant to seal the bedplate. how’s it holding up? is it good?
I Built 3 motors so far, no leaks or issues.
How do you lock the engine in tdc without the the flywheel being on? That’s only thing stopping me from building my spare block in garage
You have to take the engine off the stand put your OEM fly wheel on and put the locking pin in. So basically I did the timing off the stand.
As a newbie, I couldn't understand how the crank.bearing clearance was confirmed to be within tolerance. It looked like a piece of paper?
You torque it down and then see how much it “squished” the paper he holds up to it tells him if it within spec based on how much it expanded. If it was too wide, tolerance is too tight, and vice versa
Fancy t wrench
Perfect job
Awesome detail outline.
You are the man
What did you torque the rod caps to?
What are you measuring at 3:40 & where was the smoke coming from 8:18?
He’s measuring the space between the crankshaft and the crankshaft bearings, this is (should be) done with all rebuilt engines to ensure the crankshaft doesn’t get chewed up by the bearings because of lack of oil flow.
where did you get the assembly manual? been looking for it like crazy
i gathered all my info online. there isn't a primary source to everything. basically you have to google search to get your answers
FANTASTIC brro
I had no idea you could find N54's at the junkyard
Move out of the country. Here in Atlanta there's a few dozen junk yards, and at least 5 pick and pulls. I see N54s come through pick and pull all the time.
I’ve rebuilt my engine with pistons, head gasket, turbo, ignition coils and spark plugs. No leaks engine spins over but won’t start 😢
I’ve pulled all the codes but nothing that should keep it from starting
Help 😢😢

Did you end up figuring it out?
Did you silicone the oil pan to?
No, the oil pan has a dedicated gasket.
Sick video man
🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👍👍👍
Awesome
Awesome video brother, what camera and editing software are you using?
iPhone 13 pro max, and the app I use is called VN.
@@941garage I use the same phone but for some reason my quality doesn’t come out nearly as good as yours..
@@dcs-motorsport check your YT settings, make sure your upload quality is on the highest setting.
All that work just to throw on VTT parts. You’re gonna regret it. That hub is gonna destroy your whole build
That’s where your wrong, spline lock hubs have been proven to hold abuse from high hp builds. Mine is still holding up just fine.
@@941garage until it doesn’t. You’ll learn soon enough.
@@itb1820 they have proof that the hub is able to withstand crazy torque numbers beyond what the car is able to produce, this is a solid design. Your just looking at who made it but not how well it performs or how it’s designed.
@@941garage I would say how much did Tony pay you. But Tony would never pay anyone for anything. You’ll find out soon enough
This is gold
is this a reupload?
Yes, had to take it down do to a copyright issue.
This 🔥🔥
What’s the tire setup on the car man?
245/40/18 front, Toyo r888r 275/40/17 rear.
@@941garage appreciate it man love the build 💪🏼
GL bro
Where your 9mm bolts too short?
No, but I might switch them out to 11mm soon.
@@941garage why the 9mm are no good? but still better than oem right?
@@juanpablodiazguillot3325 i heard from engine builders that they are worst then oem. not enough thread. but i have not had any issues so far at 33psi.
Usually you wanna put the piston cooler nozzles after you have the rods in so you don't accidentally hit one.
And what are you going to do now that you have changed the distance between camshaft and crankshaft.... those are not supposed to be cut in any way
I probably would have gotten new valves
why?
Can you build mine
You don’t think you could do this?
