I appreciate your videos! Just had the engine seize in my F10 M5 and there isn’t much S63 rebuild info online! Glad you didn’t listen to your business friend, cheers and thank you so much for the courage to tackle my own M5 project!
I appreciate you. I am pulling my n63tu from my 750i this weekend, and this exactly the information I am looking for. I'm glad your friend didn't convince you to charge!
@dnl35projects quick question...is the timing tool needed to REMOVE the vanos bolt from the Camshaft? My tool won't arrive until next week and I want to have it disassembled by this weekend.
Best BMW channel I found so far!. Thank you for the S63 video. I had a collapsing vanos pulley on mine. We stripped the motor because we thought it was bearing but they are stil fine at 100000km.
So happy when I saw the video the other day , this is the icing on the cake for the weekend ! Also learned something too. I would have torqued all the caps down to 20nm then done the stretch after they were all torqued up. In my mind this is more logical, so interesting to see it done this way.
Thanks, i'm glad you like it. To be honest, I dont think it would be much drama in torquing them all to 20Nm then doing the rotation on the sequence mentioned because there is still clearance on the bearings however for the engine heads and parts with dry gaskets is imperative that we torque in the correct sequence. (generally from the inside bolts to the outside)
I'm working on it ! Part 2 is installing the pistons, rings and rods - A job that usually takes me around 2 hours has become a 2 day ordeal trying to film it at the right angles 😜 - I then need another 3 days to edit LOL My goal is to have it uploaded by next weekend
Hahaha i'm gonna be 100% honest with you ! The E60 M5 is my favourite car however I was a naughty boy last year and did not achieve some financial goals - As a punishment I decided not to renew the registration of the M5 and let it sit in storage until I can improve my finances 😝 I haven't driven that car since March last year, just start it once a month ... If things go well I should be able to get that car back on road around November then will do some videos for the channel and race the X5m !
@@dnl35projectshahaha it’s totally alright. I have a 2013 bmw x5 xdrive50i m sport with the only year it came with the factory m performance package. So the N63 with a mild dealer tune. Honestly, it feels just as quick as a stock s63 e70 x5m to me. Bmw as you know always underrated power numbers. It’s in a storage unit because I spun a rod bearing but finally this summer it’s getting a new longblock. I love it. It’s never going anywhere. Love to see where all this channel goes. I’ll be watching
Hi, sure thing - the timing procedure should be Part 4 or 5 of these series - possibly another 2 weeks before I have the chance to do it but it’s definitely coming
First i will thank you for your videos :D I have a f10 M5 comp with a downpipe without tuning and I get white smoke when I accelerate and let off the gas/under revs. I don't lose any coolant and believe that the oil consumption is normal. What could it be? its around 10-15-20.25 Celsius here
Thanks - Its really hard to pin point the issue without seeing the car and also interesting to know your coolant levels are not dropping (for both reservoirs right?)
@@dnl35projects Thank you for taking the time to reply :D Yes for both reservoirs. Now I have put the original catalytic converters back on and the smoke has been minimized and disappeared when the engine is warm. It can come when I stand still for a little while and rev the engine and let go, but only once now and not as much as before. I will leave it as it is, even if the sound is not as good :/
I have a question for you: Do the S63 and N63 have identical cylinder heads when it comes to the Exhaust port diameter? I am in the process of making a custom exhaust manifold for the S63 (split banks) and as a shortcut I had already looked into running the N63 Twin-scroll manifolds, but then realized that the exhaust manifold gaskets of the N63 are much smaller diameter than the S63 so I got a bit confused
@@dnl35projects OK thanks, I cut up a F10M5 manifold to split up the banks, just trying to find a local welder to patch it up. It will then need a tune to re-arrange the O2 sensor readings, but I have that covered. The information I had from one X5M FB group member was that the port sizes were the same between the two but I just found it very strange as even the Original E70 X5M manfild (and the F10M5 manfold) have much bigger runners than the N63 manifold gasket. Maybe if you have time you could measure the exhaust ports on the engine you are building.
hi am changing my valve stem seals soon for my n63tu engine what do you recommend i check or replace while doing the job ? my plan is to have the car for 3 years atleast
Hey man, take a leaf out of M539 Restorations. Take your time with editing and explaining in every step. People who watch these videos are here for the detail. They’re not mechanics, most will never be able to dream of owning such a car, let alone rebuilding such engines. You will get views like crazy and there’s room for growth as other you-tubers doing the same thing are waiting 2/3/4 weeks inbetween videos, all M539 restorations fans have something to watch from your channel whilst they wait.
Australia's version of M539 Restorations I love it! Keep up the awesome work dude. ✌
LOL I wish ! That guy is another level - Thank you

Hi, thank you for the feedback ! Yes helping other is being my payoff on TH-cam 😜
how many miles did you have?
175k
@@fantaskismiles miles or kilometers? Was it a rod bearing?

Hi, you better wait for the tool otherwise you risk damaging the vanos sprockets/gears if the cams are not locked
Love your content bro. So underated.
Thanks !

Awesome ! they are great engines, just need some special attention every now and then
Both of mine exhaust vanoses collapsed too.
You are the peoples champ and a gem of a human being
Thanks !
Tbh brother your doing a great job ! Your doing Gods work, and youll see he provide long term! May god bless you and your channel
Thanks
thank you very much for these videos, I am not a mechanic and don't have a BMW, but as an engineer, your videos are very satisfying, a Proper JOB
Thank you for the feedback ! That’s what keep us going 👍

I have a goal of trying to service/rebuild a S63 one day, and this video was absolutely helpful. Geep it up, loved the video :D
Thank you ! Just take the time while doing the rebuild and use no shortcuts.
Hurry and do the next 😂 love it my friend. Keep up the great content.

Great content, great generous personality, good luck
Thanks so much!
Great to see you back! Where’s the e70 x5m vs the e60 m5 race at? I just remember that from an old video I figured I’d ask.

Great content. Sub’d. Post a video on timing the engine with the tools and everything when you get to that point.

So about torque space
Crank bolt 20nm+ 115 degree
Small ones e bolts 10nm+ 55 degree
Side key bolt +16mm for oil pump 10nm +45 degree is that right?
That’s correct ! The spec on the oil pump bolts could vary according to the engine you’re working on (eg 4 wheel drive or rear wheel drive)
DO you use Stock bolts for the crank shaft main bearing cap? or ALL new?
Hi, it depends on the build - some cars I use ARP and some I use the stock rod bolts
@@dnl35projects oh, What i meant do you reuse the bolts (OR can you)? OR do they HAVE to use bran new bolts?
hi am changing my valve stem seals soon for my n63tu engine what do you recommend i check or replace while doing the job ? my plan is to have the car for 3 years atleast
Hi, replace the oil separators as well while you’re in there
@@dnl35projects God bless you
Been waiting on this
Hey Bill, yeah hopefully this time I can do some step by step type videos of whole assembly. Thanks for keeping up
Hi do i have to buy all the stud for the crankshaft new or can put the same one and were can y buy them thank you
The bottom ones I usually re-use and only really buy the head bolts new - I buy most of the parts from FCP euro or ECS Tunning in the USA 🇺🇸
Superlike;)
Thanks
🫣looking good
