Does this video apply for n53
Your ratchets are 3x louder than your voice so when I turn up the volume all the way up to decipher your timid mumbling, I am rewarded with a nice jumpscare from the clanking and ratcheting. That aside, you are a tremendous help in teaching me how to maintain my daily driver
"crispified" 2 min in and I'm already loving the British vocabulary.
Awesome bro great vid helped me a lot
Thank you for this video. any tricks or tools that will help to remove the back hose on the backside of the valve cover next to the firewall?
I just bought a 2011 bmw 328 from auction it have the magnesium valve cover I wonder if they swap the motor or till what year bmw used magnesium valve cover on 3 series thanks
Good Vid again. I usually cover the plug holes with a couple of rags just in case. A buddy of mine rebuilt his carb on his motorcycle he said I've got a tick now. You missing anything yes a small brass washer. Its in the cylinder I told him. No way. I told him you just won the lottery friend. And it was in there. More stuff in the way compared to my day. Still not a hard job just time wise. Keep it up Dean love seeing these hope more people do.
No mate most are moaning as they come here for the programming side of it but I ain’t doing that much anymore as hardly anything left for me to do now cars are complete now
@@BMWDoctor I see what you mean. Still waiting on my D-can
Hey man im about to do this job on 2012 128i i cant find torque value for valve cover?? And is everything else the same for removal??
Thanks
Great video Dr.Dean. Seems odd to see the brake master cylinder on the right side, as well as the steering wheel. Excellent job
Haha I know mate
Hi, I have an 07 plate Z4 coupe 3.0si N52 motor, does my eccentric shaft motor have to be reset with a computer? People are saying once I've removed it and re installed it I just out the Key to the second position and don't start it and it will re learn and go through a reset?
Cam you please tell me from what producer is the head gasket seal?
Best explained videos thank you
Should I have the pcv valve and eccentric shaft sensor replaced too... 2008 e60 95k miles w. no symptoms.
Very informative! Wish they were all magnesium valve covers... Ive got a plastic one. E39 but still.
I know mate I prefer this too the plastic one
Wow, you do not mess around - that was brilliant - I wish you could come and do mine mate! Love your work. I've got to replace the CCV on my '05 330i - I'm hoping I don't have to do the valve cover gasket too as I don't have access to a garage and me & my cuz will be out in the street in the late January weather... *snif*
You dont need a garage mate just do em where your car park
Nice work
Can you do a video on the E90 Reverse lights / Footwell module issue many of us are having and how to resolve it? My mechanic tried but was unable to procure a used module that would work. The issue is that the module has a relay or something that when tripped 50+ times sends a message to the computer and says the reverse lights are responding. Car terminates functionality of the reverse lights. This is how I understood the problem.
Damn bro, u know your shit 👊💪🔥
Hi Doc, can you give me link to a good gasket, i have to change mine and i don't know what to use :( My engine is N52 2.5I 218 HP
Don’t suppose there is a link for the gasket and bolts? I’ve had a google and the gaskets coming up look rubber, not metal like the one used ...?
Great vid, in the n53 take of the manifiold itd the same procedure?? And how many casch for the parts?
Yes it’s same procedure for N53 mate no different parts are not expensive that depends if your valve cover is cracked or not as it will be plastic you would need to check if valve cover is cracked will be about £180 for the parts
Hey man I got an 07 525i n52 bmw stalled at 80 mph in 5th gear. It’s not an alternator/battery something mechanical happened I think no bangs or weird noises when I try to start it now it’s cranking way fast and I have no spark or fuel, I have compression 150 in each, I also have oil in the spark chambers leaking. Im pulling the valve cover to investigate down the n52 rabbit hole
Mine leaks oil out of the part of the gasket near the spark plugs slightly, do I need to replace the eccentric shaft sensor too or can I just replace the valve cover gasket
I was wondering this too...
You didnt do the ccv pipe portion as you said on previous video.
where do you get bolts?
On an n53 do u need to remove the direct injectors to be able to remove the cover?
yep you do
Hi,doctor D thanks a lot with your advice.my N52 2006 it's idling very rough and I take out disa valve & it's on open position. So it might be the problem?
Would have added some valve gasket sealer just to create a perfect seal
I recently did this job and ran into an unusual problem... One bolt at the rear of the motor went in okay but wouldn't tighten all the way. Then, when I backed it out, it has seized and will not back out all the way (most likely cross-threaded). So now I'm relying on every other bolt around the valve cover to "keep the lid on".
Is it necessary to drain the oil first before replacing the vc gasket?
No
What do you do if you valve cover gasket is stuck on
Hi.
Can you put a magnesium cover on to 530i e39 2001?
No mate you can’t as it has eccentric shaft seal hole and the valvetronic motor you can’t seal them up so it would leak oil everywhere plus the ccv is different
@@BMWDoctor Thanks mate. I didn't think so buy just double checking.
How long does this take?
do u need to drain the oil to change this valve cover gasket? thanks
no
Great channel name man! I wouldn't advise taking those spark plugs out and then removing valve cover nuts, if you drop one in there it's a literal nightmare. No need to remove the spark plugs for the valve cover tutorial anyway.
Cheers mate I’m already aware of who you are mate nathans made me aware fully I was changing spark plugs aswell mate that’s why I took them out I know what I’m doing no dropping of nothing with me on these engines I designed this engine in factory
@@BMWDoctor Cheers, keep the videos coming!
Ant-seize on the threads is appreciated later when it's time to remove.
Bruh, why do this video always skip over the (actual) removal of valve cover, yes including how to get it in and( actual) installation of valve cover
Dean
Did you loosen or back off the valve tronic motor before removing it? And when replacing the valve Tronic motor did you have to reset it a certain number of turns? Otherwise BANG on video my friend. I love this stuff. Most folks do not realize they are capable of doing this themselves.
No mate I loosened it after removing the bolts do not loosen it before hand mate and after no need for reset just put key in ignition turn it on and off twice to adapt the motor depending on your year if it’s before 2007 you will need to relearn the settings
BMW DOCTOR DEAN
Got it. Thank you for the reply.
No problem mate
@@BMWDoctor so with a 2006 330i, when you say relearn settings? does shutting off ignition twice do this? or need to do through software? also do you have a link to what torque wrench you used? just looking at tackling this job....thx.....I just see some light leaking around the vcg...so not sure how long I can wait....i gotta try to look with a mirror on the underside of it....can you basically wait until you smell oil in the cabin? only have like 82k....not losing any oil really in 5000k miles...
for your car you will need the software to relearn the settings that is correct you will not be able to drive it without doing that any car built after 2007 learns itself any before that need software to relearn the valvetronic positions also I have a video regarding the valve cover aswell on these@@andrews1722
What year is this n52? Mines an 07 with a plastic valve cover, is their any difference? Also would you suggest to use rtv high temp gasket sealer to hold the gasket in place while putting on the cover? Looks tight
no do not use that my friend and yes you will have the plastic valve cover after 2007 which is a nightmare because it has to be changed as a whole as it cracks and also the CCV is situated inside the valve cover aswell
@@BMWDoctor Thank you buddy was going to use the gasket sealer now I won't. But you are right my ccv/pcv has failed and making the whistling sound with bad idle. Valve cover is shipping right now
@@BMWDoctor can the metal cover be fitted to a car with the plastic cover ?
I saw that this was done on a 523i. How much different is it to do it on a 530?
its the exact same no different
27 bolts for Rocker Cover? Strange I thought I was 22 (19 short torx headed bolts and 3 longer 10mm hex head bolts).
Not a proper way to remove the E Motor. Some People could follow this procedure and break something. You should remake this steps please.
