Tommy is reason this all happened! Lol. He should help. None of that work was needed. It's an n54! Most problematic motor ever but 2 things that NEVER FAIL is the timing chain and the head gasket. Lol. A quick Google search could've saved Will all of this nonsense
@@jwolff9153 acctualy the n54 aint that problematic of a engine. it's the shit around it that can fail. but a fresh timing setup is allways good. yes chains last a very long time but that don't mean they can't fail.

@@Drewski559 yep he can see doesn't know allot but is doing good for what he has done. Also trying and is actually wanting to learn. Plus he sees that will cares and actually wants it to be nice.

We needs to remember that he does it for content that has to be put out and entertainment. Sometimes he still questionable stuff for pure fun when he got something it is trash to begin with.
Get it extracted and try again. I know the feeling of being defeated by a job. Take a few days off it come back in with a fresh head and time it up. You will be much happier knowing you completed it and it will help give you confidence and the skill in future jobs. Don't end up being the guy who always doubts himself. Everyone messes up, but not everyone messes up on camera in front of a large audience which sucks
i think it coldwelded togheter, because the head is aluminum and the tentioner is aluminum. thats why it was spinning fine at first but got stuck suddenly.
@@Watchmedome3017 There was still what looked like quarter to half inch gap though. The washer was just floating. The head of the bolt and washer should be snugged to the head of the engine, no?
I’m damn proud of will, he’s put in some mad work and he took on a project everyone would turn away. Let alone having to take it apart again and put it back together all over again. Great job will.
Don’t give up Will! I’m seriously proud of seeing how confident and how driven you are compared to the early chop shop days. Keep it up! You got this buddy!
OK 3 things, one Will keep on keeping on you haven't ever done this before so there's going to be a learning curve. Your doing great. Two Chris great support from a friend towards Will. And third everyone look at Tommy being nice and helpful 😄 and it seems like he does care and genuinely trying to help out, way to go Tom.
if that tensioner has a spring in it and turning will eventually tighten against the threads of the shaft and then start compressing the spring? So if like the spring is Super super compressed (tighter than it should be) could it push and cross thread the sleeve?
@@avar37 it does. But if you tighten it so much that the spring compresses fully it could mess up the threads and or cross thread it and then this happens. The spring should give the chain tension but also have room for when the chain slacks out. Hence the BMW set torque of 55 Nm. I just searched "BMW N54 timing chain tensioner install"
@@avar37 though this is also why when I'm this deep in a engine I write all my torque specs and draw the sequences on a notebook. Just makes stuff like this not happen
There’s no way he put that in cross threaded, it went in too easy for too long, something else happened. Plus don’t be worried about the timing. It’s actually basic stuff. Lock the cam and crank so there top dead and the tensioner moves the chain so it’s in the correct location and tensioned correctly both sides and the bolt tightened holds the pulleys in the correct position. That tensioner was a freak issue. You got this boys
This^. One of the easiest engines to time. That tensioner was cheap shit and with the force of the spring pushing against the threads it’s wrecked then. Get the old tensioner out somehow and get an oem tensioner.
Not cross threaded ,it has happened to me twice on n47 engines the tensioner reaches a certain point and it gets stuck because the threads get damaged when loosened pain in the ass
Someone explained it perfectly, snug is hand tight, he threaded the bolt past the hole, and the tension on the bolt made it cross threaded when he tried to back it out.
What happened was when lil Willy tightened the tensioner the first time it stretched the threads on the crap aluminum tensioner and when he reinstalled it he only got a few threads in. You can tell when he used the adjustable wrench how tight it was and it was only 1/4 in. I run into this all the time with cheap aluminum bolts
Clearly Will is the only friend of rudniks that Tom actually likes. You can tell he really wants to help him. But doesn’t help having ruddy in the back agreeing with tommy making his situation worse.
Either weld a bolt, or put an extractor inside the tensioner, and then get vice grips on the outside and twist both at the same time. If that doesn’t work, then you’re fucked 100%. Edit: just watched the guy at the machine shop take it out on his insta. Heat first, and then he did exactly what I said. C’mon Chris, you know the pro-tips are always in the comments.
Hang in there Will. At least you have the courage to try it yourself and learn. Do your research. And you know when it really comes down to it, Tommy and Chris are there to help. The live stream last night was funny af. Chris you are hilarious! Stole the show!
Damn hahah Will just slams the motor on that block, almost took off Chris’s hand 🖐 Hang in there Will..props to you for even trying to do all this on the N54
I hope you put Adam's prank in here, that shit was gold. Might be time to load the engine up and take it to someone who is comfortable and knowledgeable enough to do the timing on this engine. Maybe you can take it to rk tunes or jp. Timing isn't something you want to risk messing up. Plus then maybe you could watch it be done and if you ever had to mess with one again you would be confident in your work. (EDIT) It honestly looked like you had the timing right that time. I just wonder if you overtorqued that junk ass tensioner.
@@alexandrabookham1515 He has multiple workers he doesn't have to touch it he does the tuning. He doesn't carry the tools to work on this engine for fun.
Hey will, when I first got my mustang I went to pull the exhaust for a cat-back. Snapped the studs on the manifolds. Had to pull the motor to put on some replacement headers and found out my frame was rotted. Pulled the motor and trans, repaired the rust and found more. Repaired that only for the studs on the cylinder head to snap that held the stock manifolds on. I drilled out the cylinder head and tapped it like 7 times, to put it back together. Got it back in the car in time for a drift event only to find out no one makes x pipes that fit, and the o2 sensors would not fit in. Had to wait 2 more weeks, got another set of headers, painted the cause they came un-coated, pulled the motor again and then put the new headers on and put the car back together. It happens.
Lil tip for working with awkward threads, turn then bolt backwards while lightly applying pressure, and when you feel/hear a light bump, then start turning in the opposite direction. This way your giving the threads more chance of aligning properly. Keep up the great work and remember shit happens👍
"Anything" fine threaded and aluminum you should always use assembly lube, especially after de-greasing it. Damage was probably done when trying to take it back out... Like someone else said below, if you use the right size "easy out" with a large T handle on the spring hole as well as a pair of vice grips on the outside of it once the easy-out is in tight. Then slowly heat up the head casing around the outside with a butane torch spray a little WD-40 in the thread hole and turn the whole contraption you might still get it out. If not, the machine shop will have to drill it out then sleeve the hole and re-tap it. all is not lost Will chin up!
Props to vape stain for having a go at this, i learned on a chain with a Sr back in the day, self taught, doubted myself all the way but it worked a treat. You got this boys
Dont give up Will, you will get it. Live and learn from your mistakes. The videos have been fire 🔥 since you have moved back to CT, rodknock. I've been an OG since the Kent shop. Keep up the good work
Imagine living next to FCP Euro head quarters and reusing a timing component that had lifetime warranty and could of been replaced for free. And another thing I’m seeing here is will is following online guides step by step as he works. You need to research a job start to finish and understand how to properly do everything. My last recommendation would be to subscribe to an online factory service manual like ALLDATA before jumping into a foreign engine with no prior experience. No confusion of some random guy on a forum. If anyone read this far know I am a huge fan of the channel and the content and am not trying to talk shit
Feel bad for little Will. He seems like a cool guy, but damn he been having a hella hard time with that rebuild. Cool to see tommy try and help out without calling him all types of names. And a little cameo from Sammit was cool. This all makes for great content!!!
It was so nice to see Tommy and Will get along. Great to see that your all human and learning. Don't give up you have it all figured out just had a shitty quality part.
A little trick from a guy who once cross threaded and snapped a spark plug. Always go counter clockwise untill you feel the bolt set in. Then go clockwise.
Going to Florida was really good for you and the channel and moving back to ct, and now your bringing all the og vibes back love the banter between you and tommy keep going my gee
That kinda just happens sometimes with metal. Especially stainless steels and aluminums. Sometimes you thread a bolt in fine and when you go to pull it back out at just become a catastrophe before your eyes. Keep your head up man! Get it extracted and start over. 👌🏽
dont give up willy! gf just totaled our second car backing out of the driveway today.... take youre time and youll get her done man good luck! i feel for you today buddy edit. her fault and no full coverage just liability
Dont blame yourselfes, shit like this happens to everyone. When I built my first engine when putting the pistons in I hit the rod-bearing surface on the crank with the edge of the rod, put big scratch on the bearing surface and didnt notice it. After the entire car was completely together, which took me weeks in total, the engine got rodknock after like 500 miles. I was so pissed about it, but I got it back apart, got a new crank and new bearings and learned from my mistake. Said engine is still running strong and I'm enjoying it every day because I built it myself, you know. Like Will said, I could have gotten it fully assembled from the engine builder, but I decided to do it myself just for the expierience. When I was in the process of assembling it I wish I just paid the guy to do it, but looking back I'm glad I did it myself.
I wish you lived close to me. id help you guys. Unfortunately I know a bit about this engine lol. I'm really good at fixing stuff. like the broken tensioner and bad threads and broken bolts in tuff places. Good luck tho boy's you got this!
Could always stick a shop vac inside the head and vacuum out the metal shavings as you drill. Similar too how you do the helicoil on the old pushrod Chevy V6s.
If its anything like a motorcycle cam chain tensioner the bolt never bottoms out you just put tension on the chain and tighten the locking nut. Will was waiting for the bolt to bottom out and then snug it. I would bet the bolt ran out of threads and they snugged it and its jammed in.
Don’t stress it will. You gotta experience to learn. If you do have someone help with the timing you should definitely just have them be there and walk you through it. You will feel so much better when the project is finished. I’ve been there.
I personally think the LS route would be way cooler. Throw some Texas Speed parts on the 6.0 and put it in the 135. It would at least be more reliable 🤷🏼♀️
Cool to see Tommy actually try and help Will, feel awful for the guy

Anyone else trimming in getting bud jarred up while catching up on some TH-cam 👐🤙🤙
Ruddy make a shirt to help support the cost of getting Willy boy going, I know I’d buy one to help the guy out
every day when lil willy gets home he tells himself "well i guess this is better than working a regular job" lmfaooooooo
Working for a homie able to explode your car in the shop and snag the shop truck little Willy doing alright for himself
@@zaceryhammond1144 chill homie its not that deep
Has anyone ever taught him to find tdc on the number one cyclider on the compression stroke?
If the crank locks it should lock at tdc cylinder 1.
He could of simple used a hide with a ballon at the end of it when it blows up piston is coming up
Doesn’t matter in this case
If its anything like a motorcycle cam chain tensioner the bolt never bottoms out you just put tension on the chain and tighten the locking nut. Will was waiting for the bolt to bottom out and then snug it. I would bet the bolt ran out of threads and they snugged it and its jammed in.
*DAYS WITHOUT INJURING LITTLE BILL: 0*
Head injury AND you chipped his toothed? fucked.
Idk he hit his head pretty good on that drain pan
@@wesleypellettieri the tooth is definitely worthy of a reset. 😂
Definitely at 0 lol
Unfortunately these things happen in our business. Sure it's a setback, but it's not the end. You guys got this, we all want to see you be successful
more of those live streams. it was golden!!
theres probably and engine stand bracket that bolts to the exhaust side of the motor.
Drop a Briggs & Stratton 12hp motor in the 135 instead
Willy needs that LZ drift HQ sponsorship next
Hahahaha the napkin boxing match we all wanted .
This is all about Will, we learn new things everyday...dont give up buddy you will figure it out
LEGENDARY live stream last night. If you missed it you effed up
Don’t stress it will. You gotta experience to learn. If you do have someone help with the timing you should definitely just have them be there and walk you through it. You will feel so much better when the project is finished. I’ve been there.
I personally think the LS route would be way cooler. Throw some Texas Speed parts on the 6.0 and put it in the 135. It would at least be more reliable 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah but the thing is he invest a lot of money in parts for the N54 and got sponsored too by FCP
get the original engine working and find a clapped out BMW with a good chasis and go f-yea spec with it, paint it green and give it away!
Tommy is definitely happy to have you back around
