Man am I glad you made these videos, friend of mine just money-shifted my S50 E34 wagon and blew it up. I'll be watching these a few times over, quality stuff!
Thinking about buying an e36 m3 and doing a turbo build but I've never gotten into an engine before. This made me believe that I can do things myself. Thanks for some good entertainment too
am i the only one laughing way too much when the piston is flying out? anyway, thanks for the good explanation as i'm currently rebuilding my m50, would love some more e36 content Pawinning!
It would have been good to mention cleaning or cutting the ridge at the top of the cylinder, which makes removing the pistons easier and avoids damage to them when they push past it. Also, making sure not to scratch the crankshaft journals when pushing the rods out.
Finally! Hahaha been on the edge of my seat for this video. Can't watch it yet since I'm at work but I'm excited to get my engine apart so i can resurface and put together for a turbo e30 s50.
Pawinning I have the s50b30 engine so what all would I need to do to set it up for a s50b32? Rebore it, new pistons and ecu is all right? Gotta look further into the different size specs for the pistons still.
as an aside, no matter how many times I watch it, the piston flying out always makes me chuckle. Your "da fuq?" face, the sound effect, and the "oops..."
god i wish u was living close to me i’m from bakersfield ca and my lifters are loud or idk if it’s my vanos i know it’s not the oil pump or the nut on the oil pump cuz it’s knocks loud from the lifters and it’s been like 5 months i daily it that way
If it's the vanos you'd most likely hear the ticking at the very front of the valve cover. But if the ticking sound is spread across the length of the valve cover it's likely to be the lifters. Have you tried doing an oil flush? Sometimes the lifters just get clogged and a fush helps dissolves contaminants inside the tiny oil passages of the lubrication system. If that doesn't work then unfortunately you'll need to replace them or open them up/clean them up if they don't have too much wear (got a video on how to open the lifters up and clean them).
That I cannot confirm off the top of my head, but I can assure that the BMW Bentley manual has it I believe. Otherwise, bimmerforums.com is my next place I'd look into as there are a lot of people that have completed engine builds there. I have yet to finish mine due to a lack of funds 🥺
With reverse thread hardware, it's clockwise rotation to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten. Unless it's been previously overtorqued, it shouldn't be difficult to loosen. Is this the first time you're attempting to take apart that sprocket?
I would like to have the balls to fix my own car or do things to it but i am way too scared, unexperienced and untrained to do that, i guess i gotta pay the buck or try my luck and trying my luck with expensive things is not good
Don’t be scared, yes it’s expensive to buy engines and parts and I get where you’re coming from. I worked three part time jobs to afford all the parts to my build. The knowledge, tech experience, and time spent with friends that help in trying these projects (pass or fail) are more valuable imo 👍.
Out of the 15k I’ve put into my car, I can tell you that I’ve wasted 3-4K in broken parts, redoing work I didn’t do well enough the first time, and buying cheap parts that fail 😂.
This video is the second time around for the disassembly, the first time was intimidating and difficult for me. I wanted to make the video to demonstrate the steps in a way I wish I saw them for the first time 👍. thankfully with the Bentley manual and the forums I was able to get by. Getting the right tools the first time is key tho from what I learned
Ukkomoes, im cutting my teeth on an M20 right now for my E30, bit I have plans for an S50 in the future. I come from a mechanical background working on helicopters for the Army, and I was a bit intimidated because I didn't know anything about cars. It's very easy to pick up. Get yourself a Bentley manual and keep watching videos like this. It seems like a lot but in reality old BMW engines are very simple machines.

Some friend 😂
this is the best m50 content i have come across. thanks for putting it together.
Just finding your videos now. You sure do get down to business, thanks for teaching people something!
Thanks for learning me about m50 engines. i have 2 cars with m50b25NV so your videos are perfect learning for me . Thank you for sharing

+Ethan Shrago you're welcome! Happy to help
Dude you are the best. Clear instructions and footage keep on the awesome work.
You finally hit 1k subs! Congrats dude!
+Daniel Plumley thank you !!
i really want an e36 and i'm really liking your content keep it up!
+Jared Smith thanks man!!

+photojnt I'm glad I can help you out!!

photojnt I would also look into if u could stroke the motor with a different crankshaft. That way you don't have to bore out the motor
These videos are awesome! Glad you're making these informative videos!
+Nafets BB thank you!
Really great video! I'll be doing this to my S52 soon.
+kode3020 thank you!
Great video Pawinn!

Awesome video! Keep it up!
+josh shultz thank you!
YES !!!! LOVE IT
+RDZ thank you!
great work man! im building a m42 car
Thank you! Good luck on your build 👍😎
good stuff!
do you have an 800lbsft impact? Probably could just put a flywheel bolt in the back, lock it to the engine stand, and use your impact to loosen it.
as an aside, no matter how many times I watch it, the piston flying out always makes me chuckle. Your "da fuq?" face, the sound effect, and the "oops..."
awsome!

if u can send me the link sir that me amazing much love from california i love ur videos
Hi, Bro. whats the torque for Head bolts, main cap bolts, connecting rod caps.
That I cannot confirm off the top of my head, but I can assure that the BMW Bentley manual has it I believe. Otherwise, bimmerforums.com is my next place I'd look into as there are a lot of people that have completed engine builds there. I have yet to finish mine due to a lack of funds 🥺
I cannot at all get the sprocket bolt off that connects oil pump to timing chain.
How do you get that reversed thread off?????
With reverse thread hardware, it's clockwise rotation to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten. Unless it's been previously overtorqued, it shouldn't be difficult to loosen. Is this the first time you're attempting to take apart that sprocket?
nice
