Pro tip: When you put the Vise Grips on the hood strut, angle them towards the center of the engine compartment. That way, if/when the hood does come down on them, you won’t now need to repair the fender. Another Pro Tip: Just get new struts. They are $20.
Just watched another car repair YT that had a small plastic screw-clamp for just this problem. They said now they assume ALL struts will sag and drop. They showed a damaged BMW hood from an engine support bracket after the hood dropped.
This is a great distraction from the 997. I love both directions and can't wait to see more. The production quality is great, it is instructional AND entertaining.
Doesn't look like spun bearings, and they don't look bad at all in general for that generation of BMW V8's and V10's. Nice work, keep it up! Fun fact: I did motorsports photography for Turner a while back, Will and the team are awesome people!
Dude you should watch sreten from M539 Restoration he has an insane amount of useful information in both brands and quality components on parts. And just has pretty in depth videos on service jobs with torque specs and procedures. He links special tools or parts manufacturers as well
Funny I was thinking about streten while watching you jumping right into the bearing job. When he did it he stressed over it so much and was so particular. Both methods seem to work
"At least the engine didn't blow up" 🤣🤣. I feel the same way after every time I drive my e90 M3. I've enjoyed the P car stuff but excited to see these updates!
9:06 always put a little bit of silicone on both sides of the gasket and the seams of the metal parts, tighten the bolts of the pan a little,wait 15 min tighten them completely. Don’t fill with oil just wet ,wait a few hours (a night if you can) and then put the oil and start the engine and you will have no leaks. On this German vehicles there are always leaks so I find that method successful. I love the works you do keep pushing on it .🤙🏻
Matt, just in case you will decide to drop the transmission and do the clutch, I wanted to note a few things from my experience. Ive dropped the transmission twice in last 3 months on my E92 M3 (on jackstands - no fun :). What Ive struggled with the first time is the separation of the tranny from the engine. You will learn that you have to manipulate the angle of transmission while it is separating from the engine in a certain way. My struggle was the last 3-5mm of input shaft clearance out of the clutch cover pins - it was just not clearing. In the end what I have done is just give it a hard push towards back it it popped out. You might know all that already but in any case.... Also, Ive been following your work for a while. I have E36 M3 that is receiving an LS2 currently. Gathered a lot of great info from your E36 project. Thank you very much for that. Good luck
Belt/tensioner are known to make wild noises when on their last legs. You might want to double-check the oil filter housing gasket as those are known to leak. At this point? Water pumper and thermostat might as well be swapped while you’re there.
The power steering fluid is the wrong kind. It should be the same you used for the Porsche CHF11S. That could be your sound. Those reservoirs also have a non serviceable filter. I would get a new one, flush all the fluid, and hope your pump is not hurt.
Great to see you branching out to try other brands Matt, albeit another German brand. Great content as always, been a fan of this channel from the off.
I would Check the power steering pump. Spin the wheel a couple of times from side to side and hold it there for like 3 seconds. That could fix the sound youre hearing. It sounds like you have air in the system of the power steering.
I gotta say I prefer the substitles on this video as supposed to the last one, it felt less like idiotic short form content made to be watched with no volume or a song in the background (say... tiktok for example) and more like something to aid people who are in a loud space when you aren't talking clearly for one reason or another, or who have lost their attention span to aforementioned types of media lol. Enjoying this car, I was actually thinking I would love to have one of these for both a project car and eventual daily driver, which from me is saying something since at the moment I really wouldn't consider buying much. Either way, thanks for the great vid!
Matt, to try to chase down that noise ...remove the Accessory Drive Belt, and start the engine, don't run it for long as you aren't spinning the Water pump. If you have an idler or any Accesry drive items that have bad bearings, the noise should cease. Good luck Buddy, you got this!
Love that. M3 slow but sounds sooooo good that’s my dream car ecs supercharge would make it really fun my boi has it on his car not super fast but it’s fun car🏎️💨💨💨
@@johnniek72 I think we are not comparing apples to apples. Not only in knowlegde and tools... but in love for these machines (BMWs and Ms specifcically). On one side Matt Ross refers to the car as a disaster and nightmare. He clearly doesnt like the platform and does not see other potential except you tibe content. On the other hand, Sreten does love BMWs and does not cut corners (unlike Matt) and imagines the final result and the joy he will be having along the journey. Instead, Matt seems in pain. It is the same pattern he showed with his Porschas, the 996 and 997. For a true fanatic, some things Matt does are heretic but entertaining nonetheless.
It always amazes me (in a bad way) how clapped out many ///M BMWs end up over there in the US. Seems like couple owners in people who really can't afford to run and maintain them (the way they should) get their hands on these and give the brand its bad rep. Its just amusing (also not in a good way) how much shit people talk about RELIABILITY when they put zero maintenance into a car.
@@matt13ross damn, I'm not saying it was, but the torque wrench might be out of spec. A rod bolt stretch gauge would have been helpful here to confirm that all rod bolts were torqued properly
Those Bearings aren't 'spun' ...They're just worn out. A spun bearing literally spins in the Rod Big End ...and comes out paper thin from all the rotation of the rod & crank.
Hey, Matt love you showman longtime watcher. I'm a youtuber myself. I have a channel called, fix it, Daniel, and I was wanting to ask you. Where do you get your music from? That's not copyrighted and that you use on your channel. Cause I wanna use music like you're using but I keep getting hit with a copyright. Could you help me out from one? You two a next so where you go and use to use your music
You can bet someone had been thee before you to replace rod bearings after some had spun and they decided to put the new bearings in an send it hoping for the best (or hoping to get rid of it FAST and let the next poor suck deal with it)!!
Just out of curiosity, did you pay for the parts from ECS, or are they sponsored? Only reason why I'm asking is I'm trying to help save you some money if you're coming out of pocket. I used to go through ECS for all my stuff, but I found some better places that's cheaper, and are actually genuine parts.
@matt13ross damn lol, i feel your pain. Try this, find what you need on ECS, then copy the MFG#, and paste it on google. There's a specific site that has the parts cheaper, but TH-cam keeps deleting my comment, and won't let me post the place.
@matt13ross welp, once again I've tried like 10 times to help you out and give you a place to purchase that stuff for cheaper that's genuine parts. But TH-cam keeps deleting my comments. 🤷♂️
as an observer...Your workshop is uninspiring....dirty. You don't clean parts before replacing them on the car. At around "10:00 " you should have lowered the hoist a foot or two. The cross member is filthy. If the slave cylinder and new serv ice line leak then they are an incorrect match in fitting or wrong thread. Bearing shells can't spin on one half only. Use well plaed small cable ties to hold your sump gasket to the pan while replacing sump. Did you clean the sump inside?....you didn't outside. Don't use vyce grips on any polished shaft..as you did with the bonnet. struts......use the correct and special clamps. Overall...? I wouldn't allow you to work on my BMW's or actually any car...you are not houseproud...

No plastigauge to check clearance? Better to be safe than sorry. What kind of bearing did you use ACL, BE?
I also was wondering why he didnt use plastigauge😳
Wow..I passed on a nice E92 m3 on Bring a Trailer.. Kinda been thinking of selling my FRC Vette to get on..Good Luck with the build.

First i saw the video u using impact to remove the caps, it was painful to watch
Nothing wrong with using an impact to remove bolts lol plus new ARP hardware was used.
Heck yes - although i love the porsches, im a bimmer guy for sure! e92 is one of the best.
best thing i did matt was put a turbo fg barra in my e90 sacralidge but awsome at the same time

Great build, german cars are the best!!
You only get one set of eyes , protect them use goggles when spraying engine parts 😮
Love it!!!
I think you forgot to measure the rod bearings cleareances, using dial bore gage or plasti gauge, you may have tighten it too much or not enough. :D
The e92 m3 maintenance outbreak will never end but it'll have you to sooth its pain better than Abreva.
So… no plasti gauge to confirm proper clearance of the new rods to the crank?
Honestly after Sreten, i can't stand anyone working on a Bmw engine

The steering fluid is the same brand that put in the Porsche.

Yeah, great project Matt. Before you do anything else to it, change the hood struts first. Lol.
Working on that lol
How is the interior light on but the bsttey must still be connected after you are done with the clutch fluid line? Heh?
Sounds like it could be the power steering pump or the pulley/belt to the power steering pump thats making that awful noise.
That's normal for the bearing cap to look like that.
That bearing job looked like.....a bear, bet it was nice to have a full lift instead of the quicklacks and bear necessities HA! I'll see mahself out!

Throw out bearing can make a lot of noise on BMWs.

I don't think so.
@@matt13ross guarantee

did you use ARP Ultra-torque fastener assembly lubricant on the bolts?
Sure did
