Mini Cooper S turbo? be sure to use Good oil, warm it up slow before hitting the gas hard, let it idle for a while to cool the turbocharger gradually after a spirited drive, - Your turbo will thank you. has the speed, but don't be a hero.
Yessir Bro Im soon to join you lol on these good financial decisions lmao but ima do it as a project drift car for my yt channel i wish you luck on this journey bro

Is that a coyote or a deer? Guess we know who was smoking what 😂😂 So next time just unbolt the ac compressor and there is enough slack to drape the condenser over the fender. No need to open the ac system. Power steering cooler can also lay across the other fender without disconnecting.
There's a guy called "M539 Restoratations" He specializes in restoring BMWs and has a lot of information about torque specs and engine work. I'd recommend checking him out if you are planning to rebuild that engine,
Come on bro. Pull the head and get the head resurfaced, replace the valve stem seals, check the block deck, install new head gasket with new bolts! Replace any other parts while there such as water pump, thermostat, hoses, gaskets etc. It's not hard
I understand where you’re coming from but most likely the head bolt threads have been pulled and it’s not advised to rethread thread bolts due to it being aluminum. I’m just looking at worst case scenario and what would be much more easier. Junkyard lengine has a warranty as well.
And go thru all that, just to strip the threads out of the block on final torque. Replacement engine is $800 or so. Couple hundo for maintenance items and you’re good.
@@eurohouse8788facts he is in school still learning so I’m sure he has asked his teacher idk why his teacher didn’t just recommend exactly what you said bc it’s the cheaper option and it’ll be better long term
Take it from a E46 owner here, if you plan on just replacing the head gasket before you disassemble the engine re-torque the head bolts (this is to check to see if the threads in the block get pulled out since the engine is also aluminum). If the bolts don't get loose tightening them then you are fine with just doing the head gasket, but if they do get loose then the block is no good and just better off replacing the engine. With the M54s in the e46 with the block being aluminum when they overheat the material gets soft and ends up pulling the threads out of the block when you tighten the head bolts. It all depends on how long and how hot the previous owner let the engine get before the head gasket finally failed. Hope this little bit of info helps with your decision
Thank you very much. I was actually doing research about that so I’ve decided just to put new engine in it just to save myself the hassle of that potentially happening thanks!
They're not unreliable, just owner's don't know how to maintain the car properly. You can't let any of the bmw cooling systems get neglected or you'll be in this situation. BMW cooling system is the down fall of the car, most people think it's like a Japanese or American car to if it gets hot and continue to drive it'll be fine but it will not be.
@@deandremitchell6790no they absolutely are unreliable my uncle bought a 323 in 2000 and had the car until 2016 drove it 175k miles he put almost $60k in dealer repairs into it over the life span of owning it that is extremely unreliable in my book where as my family friend put only a few thousand into their 1998 Lexus GS300 with the inline 6 3.0l 2jz through its whole life span until I bought it in January this year an they owned it 10 more years than my uncle owned his 323
@@arathsalgado1904He thought it was a good deal, but cheap German cars are never a good deal really. There maybe that one out there but most of the time not really. Sometimes is worth it if you specialize in that brand or vehicle and REALLY know the problems those certain cars have and know what your getting into
This me with my 1995 toyota Celica gt. Legit bought it for $550 with my first pay check after spotting it on Craigslist. Legit never drove a trailer before but hooked one up, drove 1 hour to CT, brought it home, couldn’t get it off the trailer so paid 150 bucks to a tow company to yank it off cause it’s got 2 seized brakes, needed a new starter, and had been sitting for 8 year. Just gutted the interior today to do clean up of the mold and get it looking smexy. Do i have the money to insure the car? Nope. But it was worth it.
I had a heavily modified 1998 XJR8. Upper and Underdrive Supercharger pulley, large Intercooler up front, larger faster water pump and a carbon BMC filter and aluminum intake tube. You might be losing power as your intake is sucking in the warm air from the engine…..beautiful car.
So many parts brother, not a walk in the park for sure but you make it look so simple. How much will a mechanic shop charge for injector job for this car?
I actually got a quote from my local mechanic I normally go to called Christian Brothers automotive. They quoted me $900 just to remove the supercharger.
