Thanks for this… I’m feeling less guilty now about rebuilding a VW engine with Ali Express parts! It just didn’t make financial sense to use OEM. When they arrived some had VW stamps and part numbers anyway! Who knows if they are real but 1000 miles later and all is good. Good no nonsense content.. love the organised garage.. much like mine.
I mean the Chinese build a hell of a lot of cars so I guess they really can’t be that bad.. I’m going to MOT the beemer and drive it for a bit and see what’s what
As someone who recently purchased an n57 using 1l of oil every 1k miles with apparently nothing wrong I’ve enjoyed watching the video this time and have saved it for when I’m rebuilding it
weirdly bmw will say thats normal! - its most certainly not! - i bet its had crap oil changes and the oil control rings are stuck - try a good oil engine flush a couple of times and good quality oil - you might get lucky and it get better..
Hi, the solution on the N57 is rasing the oilpressure, by changing the gear on the oilpump and a shorter chain. Then all 35d, 40d and 50d lives forever, like the M57 engine.
i rebuilt my audi engine 3.2 fsi with chinese parts, and the engine runs perfect and the quality of the chinese parts was very good, i have been driving it for 3 years now, and it has become a great engine.
Since 2015 bmw cranks have been made in the bmw/bba plant in shenyang china. Its a good chance these are from there. There are not many places in the world that have the correct press and forging equipment.
Chinese manufacturing seems to have improved a lot, the main reason they are so cheap is labour, so long as material is the same and you find a good supplier with decent quality control there's really no issue
Can you recommend anyone in North Yorkshire that specialises in L322 3.6 tdv8 gearboxes and torque converters? It’s the earlier 6 speed type. I have a feeling the torque converter is starting to slip slightly despite changing fluid etc. Car only covered 112000. Great channel btw.
@ I agree, I’m approx 200 miles away otherwise I’d leave it with Tom. For some strange reason Autoalex and V2 have blocked me from commenting on the channels. Bit disappointing since I followed Alex from Car Throttle days.
Hiya , come along to sub to your channel as I like your presenting style. Knowledgeable, fun and well spoken! I had an e39 530d back in the day , brilliant engine. The let down was the gm sourced auto box, wish they’d used a ZF
He did a while ago on the podcast.. I’ll do an update video - I need to get it motd before I can drive it and the video was getting on for an hour long!
A wild Jooshy has appeared. Your garage is so much more organised than mine and that is saying something. What ever happened to the blue mx5? Dumb BMW engineering is why I stopped working on BMWs, Toyotas are way nicer. Good video.
Chinese parts have a history of bad reputation mainly because back in the early 2000's, the quality was sub poor. Now, quality is just as good as aftermarket. You get to save a lot of cash that you can throw elsewhere.
From personal experience you will be luck if you get more than 10k km on it, it have been proved that this cranks are no good, they flex a lot under power. That is too tight, it have to spin with your finger. That will not last 100km like that.
Oh totally! If I was building it properly I would have measured ring gaps, bearing clearances and everything else! - I’ve completely lost interest with it, I just need it running so I can chuck it in to wbac or similar!

Jooshy, keep these coming, they are great - unique unfussy informative style - fills a significant gap.
Glad you like them! I’ve got my mini head to build next
Jooshy's Back! That's tonight sorted. Glad you're back lad!
Im new . Never knew jooshy had a yt channel . Subscribe time
First time iv seen a crank from ali . Good luck and looking forward to the results
This is what I need - casual, informative, and a great amount of information. We love the technical explanations. Subbed - keep it up.

@@jooshy MOT it and get rid lol. Don't risk it.
This was great,enjoyable,informative and no fuss,well done jooshy 😂👍
Nice work, liking how you're just building this in every avergage guys kind of garage and not some top of the range unit 😂. Keep them coming.
Great videos as before, very different to other channels as they're so informative and enjoyable
Nice one! Glad to see a new video 👌👌
Great to see Jooshy back :-)

Great to see you at work without those other 3 clowns around
Nice work Jooshy!
That shimmy at the end was totally worth it!

Dimension wise that crank will be good, what it's made from; Chineseium is the most popular material over there.
Those carhartt dungarees are awesome
My power steering pump and window regulator are a china jobby no issues with either of them on my 07 320d m47

I’ve not had to rebuild any auto boxes yet so I don’t unfortunately.. speak to Tom Lenthall I’m sure he can recommend someone!

I love ringin me piston 😜😜

Didn't know you had your own channel. Bit of a while since previous videos. Are you going to upload regularly? Hope so. 🤞🏻
I’m going to try!
Tight.
Why doesn’t Alex promote your channel, this is something I’d watch, you should also include you driving the car a bit after u have rebuilt it
He did a while ago on the podcast.. I’ll do an update video - I need to get it motd before I can drive it and the video was getting on for an hour long!

small hole in the liner on cylinder one ? @ 9.45
no it was a bit of fluff i think! - i degreased all the liners after the light honing and they were all perfect!
Were did you get the crank shaft please a local dealer or directly from China .
Kit from down under
AliExpress - was shipped from china in about 10 days
What is that company you deal with in China is it the manufacturer ?

I sold the mx5 to a mate, he built it into an off-roader

Yeah! - well they also make millions of cars which have comparable quality to some European stuff now which is impressive!
Remember the W postion when fitting the all the rings on the piston youll thank us old timers for a simple tric
I’ve never thought of it like that! Always good to remember

In general Chinese parts have less quality. I would never harm a car's longevity by replacing engine parts with Chinese parts...
20k oil changes are diabolical no wonder engines just about make ot to 100k
chinese is the new japenese
That crank is so tight, it‘ll seize again in no time. It should be spinning with the push of your pinkie finger
I would have measured everything if I was keeping it.. I just need the cheapest way of getting it running so I can sell it to wbac or similar!
Jooshy, I didnt know you had a channel. Mention it on Auto Alex and you will have 250k over night mate. Subbed n liked the video.
It was on a podcast a while back! It’s linked in a few vids too!
