- Let's talk about facts... BMW engines do leak oil. Mine was no exception. Thins thing really needed to go out to have it's seals replaced. I am super happy with the result and for the engine that will be used for only one more season I think I did more than I had to. Well it's not yet fully connected and hhaven't been started yet so keep your fingers crossed for it. Let's hope I fixed those oil leaks.

Forgot to mention that I'm showing how to setup the timing on M43 engine! Hope that algorithm will pick up this comment xD
Where is that video?
Love my 2000 m43 so underrated but so simple & reliable.. not always about power! Thankyou 🙂
No problem. I love mine as well mainly because of reliability like you said. I’m planning the swap but mainly to experience something new, not because I don’t like the engine. And no problem 😁 glad you liked the video 🙌
Szacun za kawał dobrej roboty i że ci się chciało :D Ludzie przeważnie doceniają tylko R6 w BMW, a M43 to bardzo udany i pancerny silnik. Moje M43b16 ma przejechane ponad 500.000km i nie bierze ani grama oleju na 10.000km,a jedyne problemy jakie z nim miałem to padła pompa wody (koszt nowej to ~120zł XD, a wymiana dziecinnie prosta) i standardowo w tym silniku - pocenie się z pokryw rozrządu (uszczelki kosztuje grosze, jedynie roboty na pare godzin).
Dzięki wielkie. Tez uważam ze to bardzo dobry silnik. Szczególnie po zajrzeniu do środka. Mega pancerny w porównaniu ro nowych 💪 mój plan to wrzucenie m42 w przyszła zimę ale m43 zasługiwało na godne odejście :)
As far as silicone RTV goes, not a fan of using it when the manual doesn't specify it. However when using RTV it's a good idea to use a single continuous bead about 2mm thick, the idea behind it is similar to how thermal paste works on a computer CPU, gets rid of any airlocks. That being said it's awesome seeing an M43 being cleaned up, they're not very desirable engines, but I think that makes them a little more special
Thanks! Mine has still a long way to go to be good but perhaps it’s time for a change for next season 😅
I also driving a 316i m43 engine it's performance still good only manner leaks but I managed to fix it now is 22 years old and super quiet engine 🚂🚂🚂 no warning ⚠️ lights on dash
Glad to hear it! I made my own exhaust so it’s super loud but this winter I’ll fix it and make it quieter 😉
Those engines were made to last. With good maintenance I don’t see why they would ever fail 💪
Im using wealthy grey. Pretty solid. even for cracked reservioir radiator its just worked well
What is that? First time I gear this name
I´ve been looking for videos on this engine for ages and did not find this one until today, you made all that work look so simple that looks like anyone could do it ! but I won´t, instead I may book some holidays to Poland to do mine together if you won´t mind and bring it refreshed then.
+ I have to say I love that what you said "The best engine ever made in the World" !! awesome !!
more hoodies (but not whitet hough ) and ..
any more videos on this engine? please!!
btw, editting comment just to let you know I searched for " M43TUB19 oil pan " and this one was first video in the list after a short about "oil pan upgrade" , mine is E46 M43TUB19 , same engine looks like.
so nice to read this comment. Tahnks a lot!!
well feel invited ;) this engine is rather simple and I bet anyone could do it. There is a lot of cutting and editting while making a video that's why it looks simple xD
Unless you did use rtv silicone between the top and bottom time chain cover, it will most likely start to leak over time at the rubber that separate the two covers.
Nice video and a nice resealing! These engines look a lot easier to work on compared to the newer N42 engines. By the way, maybe for the next video it is possible to fix the focus of the camera. I'm not sure what is going wrong, but a lot of times it looks like the camera puts the focus on the wrong objects :)
Thanks :) you’re right about those being heaps easier to work on compared to n42. Thanks for the advice with focus. You’re right. You can tell that I could take more time and either manually set focus or just lock it on what it should show 💪
First of all, contrats for the nice job. I already worked a lot on this engine that was my first bmw 16 years ago (still have the car in my collection)
I think it's the car that gave me desire to become bmw mechanician !
Greetings from belgium !
Ps : i would like to get your valve remover tool reference, it looks very good to work whitout head removal !
Hi and thanks a lot! My tool is not available anymore. I have it for many years. I tried to find a similar and came across this one -> try googling "A-EVS3". looks even better than mine. I'm not sure about shipping to Belgium but I guess that some companies may do it and maybe there is even a similar tool where you are. I don't with I had my first car ever but I do miss all other ones that I've had xD
You know m43 is the engine I hate and love at the same time. It is very simple to work on, bulletproof engine really cheap to maintain 4litres of oil, 4 sparkplugs.
But sometimes you want more power. Id like to see a version of m43 but with more power, lets say an m43 2.5. Somehow this engine never left me on the road, its 30 yars old and still runs.
Anyway good job Id like to do the same job but i have no garage myself.
I have the same feeling. I like it for its simplicity but on highways I’d like it to have at least 30more hp. Mine still needs a lot of work but I’m hoping not to do it and instead do swap this winter. We will see 😉
Thanks a lot. Maybe one of your mates have a garage? If you’d try I think it’s 2-3 days of work if you have all the parts prepared. Takes me more because of recording 🤷🏼♂️
@@gorillaprojectcar i was thinking of a swap but im afraid I'll have trouble with them cops. Sometimes when they pull you over they use to pop the hood and check if theres no swap.
@@gorillaprojectcar theres a big plus to a swap, you pay less for tax and insurance, but at the same time you drive a bigger engine. Still a little tricky and if the laws change there is a lot of headache if you have a swap.
Depends on the law in your country. In Poland you can legalize your swap. But if you wouldn’t want to do that you could go with m42 or m44. Still 4 cylinder engine and it’s a factory swap so wouldn’t look that suspicious 🤫
Great video!
I think I'm gonna do this to my E46's M43B19 myself.
Thanks anyway!
It’s a hustle but so worth it 💪
O kurna to mój przy twoim to czyścioszek u Ciebie ktoś oszczędzał na wymianach oleju. Ale dobra robota
Teraz co wymianę jest płukanka i jak zajrzałem do środka to dalej trochę syfu jest ale niech już mu będzie. Ponad 400 ma nalatane chyba 😂 to nie jego pierwszy licznik. Dzięki wielkie :) niedługo zacznie się składanie m42 ;)
Thank you for sharing this! :-)
Of course :) hope it helps 😉
What did you do to lock the cam and crank?
Hey currently rebuilding the same engine for my e36 coupe if you have a workshop manual i couldn´t find any on google cheers
Very good video. Thank you also for showing the direct positions of the camshaft and crankshaft, because there is very little information about that. Can someone tell me what torque the front cover and the valve cover get? Have to redo the valve stem seals on my M43.
If I remember correctly it’s 10nm for each 6mm thread bolt
kartere sıvı conta sürerken yag pompasının karterle buluştugu yere sıvı conta sürmedin oradan hava alabilir yag basıncı düşebilir
Hey mate, thank you for this video, it will definitely help me a lot when I do this to my M4B16, I'll have to use it as reference.
Where did you get all the seals?
I managed to get quite a few from autodoc but I'm missing a couple, like behind the timing chain and all.
Hi mate! I’m very happy to see that the video will help you. I also got all the seals from autodoc. There was a whole set for this engine from ajusa 50154800. I found a set without head gasket but I can’t see it anymore there so maybe it’s no longer available. You can also try elring 495800.
This one gasket that is missing there has oem number 11141739868. Elring no. 921.265.
Good luck with the project 😉
@@gorillaprojectcar oh I found the Ajusa full set you mentioned yeah!! Thanks a lot for the part numbers!! :D
@@Hexthrill anytime ;) just check if it has all you need and if you’re not buying something you already have ;)
@gorillaprojectcar Heyo!
I'm back for some help!
So I have my M43 out of the car now and I've ordered an engine stand, waiting for it to arrive soon.
My question is if I'll need to buy specific screws to mount the engine to the stand, or if I can just use the gearbox bolts.
I'm guessing I'll have to buy specific ones
Hello, nice job, i’m doing the same with my m43 on my e36 red touring, but what ab the torque spec of all the lower bolts? Where did you find them? Would you share ?
I don’t remember them right now but you can find all in “bmw workshop manual” available online ;)
Robię u siebie remont słupka w m43. Szkoda ze nie otworzyłeś pompy oleju, chętnie bym porównał ze swoją
Może następnym razem 😉 w m42 pewnie otworze za pare miesięcy
Hello, please tell me what solution you used to clean the cylinder head and the rest of the internal calamine lubrication circuit and the old oil
That was a while ago but I usually use wd40 and toothbrush. Then brake cleaner and toothbrush again 😅 cheap and good
Nice video man. my M43 on E46 got few loose screw threads for the valve cover. is it possible to re-thread using hellicoil without having to take the engine out? especially using that Yato cordless ratchet?
Thanks 🙌 there should be enough space. You can disconnect ecu to make more space if those are the back ones. Just watch out for the metal chips, maybe have a vacuum at hand 😉
I’ve never used hellicoil product yet but I’ve heard good things about it.
This YATO ratchet is amazing and makes all jobs so much easier. I haven’t seen any adapters to fit drill bits tho so can’t say anything about it.
@@gorillaprojectcar thanks for the reply.. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hello, where i can find specifications of crankshaft for my E46 316i ?
If you mean the dimensions then honestly I don’t know. I don’t have a machine to do anything about crank so I didn’t even look 🤷♂️
I have a question, please answer me How can you remove the engine from the transmission? You have difficult screws. Can you explain how you can remove them easily? Thank you
Sure ;) first remove the first part of drive shaft. It’s in a way :) then you remove gearbox mount, make sure to have something supporting the transmission while you unbolt that mount so it doesn’t drop. Then you need a lot of extensions and it’s possible to unbolt quite easily ;)
great job bro. i have m43b19 now and upgrading to m54b25
It’ll be a very good upgrade 💪💪 worth it for the engine sound alone 😂 but additional power ain’t bad too 😉
Hi I'm having a problem with my 316i M43 engine, it has a noise sound, not sure whether is chain sound or bearing knock sound. How can i identify the actual problem??
Hi! Where does it come from exactly? Good old truck is get any kind of hose. Stick a bolt to on end and put the other in your ear. You should be able to notice volume change. You can record the noise and upload as a short and add a link in comment 😉
Merhaba güzel video olmuş ellerine sağlık 👏👏👏.
Bir adet m43 b19 var bir kaç gün kullanmazsam ilk çalıştırdım da 10 saniye kırmızı yağ lambası yanıyor geç sönüyor biraz çalışıp stop ettiğimde tekrar çalıştırıyorum direk sönüyor sebebi nedir bana sorarsan yağ kütüğünün içinde bulunan valfden şüpeleniyorum sanırım valf bir şekilde açık kalıyor söküp bakacağım
I had to translate your comment to understand ;) It could be it. 10 seconds is quite long even for this valve but that would be the easiers and cheapest thing to start with. Good luck!
halo bro, i want to ask.. if my m43 have a broken oil pump housing (corrosion maybe), is the radiator water fill the cylinder? sorry for my bad english
Od i understand correctly no. Then you would have water in oil.
If you have water in cylinder it’s cracked block, head or head gasket. Ok there is one more space between two parts of intake manifold that can potentially crack and therefore leak into cylinder via intake manifold but very unlikely.
i have the same leak, as timestamp 6:15 put it's leaking coolant, do i really need to take the timing case off....?
Unfortunately 🤷♂️it’s a lot of work to change those two
@@gorillaprojectcar well, doing it out in The parking lot, lets see Whats going to happen….
@@gorillaprojectcar well everything went well Got it done, and now the car isn’t leaking coolant anymore! Thank you so much!
👍👍👍
😁😁
Too much hammering everywhere.
How is the engine holding up? any leaks now?
Hmm… leaks yes because someone (me) cracked oil pan and it leaked like crazy so I replaced it. Then it was working fine until recently I turned the car off and could not start it again. Since I have another car and I’m rebuilding a house I don’t have time to look into it so the car sits… it’s hard to justify spending time and/or money on getting that thing started when I also need to spend the time and money on M42 rebuild 😁
Çok güzel olmuş.m44 video da çekermisin
m42 yapmaya çalışacağım çünkü benzerler
Hey buddy ,can you do fuel consumption on this engine please 🙏
After last repair my consumption went down from 9l/100km to 7.2l/100km. Mostly highway in both cases. Maybe I should do an episode about my research because I check it every time and I have around 15 checks already ;) thanks for the idea 🙋♂️
It can have some effect but not sure how much. I think the best fuel consumption save that I have was after changing return lines from injectors to fuel rail. Now I really don’t even try to drive eco friendly and I have a lot Lower consumption than before the repair when I really did everything I could to lower consumption. Also try checking your alignment;) I know mine is very bad as well and I know from my previous car that it also has massive effect on consumption
@@gorillaprojectcar when talking about alignment you are giving me a clue, 😅I am Running with 18inc size rims maybe they are heavy for a car. Tires size can play a huge role on consumption ✌️ consumption
شكرن للمعلومه ❤❤❤احبك ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Should have put the m43 in the bin and swapped a 6 cylinder in 😂
Maybe 🤷🏼♂️ there is an idea for a swap but not for 6cylinder. This engine reacted was only so I could have finished other things and prepare for something cooler 😉
Where is turbo ? hehe
XD I wish… jestem za biedny 😅
Może jak zrobię m42 to później się to uturbi 😅
Dałem suba i like. W nastęnych filmach mógłbyś dodać polskie napisy. Pozdrawiam.
Co jakiś czas dodaje hurtowo 😉 dzięki za uwagę 🙌 i za suba i lajka 💪
it's a good video.
thanks a lot :)
