BMW E60 M5 S85 Rod Bearing Replacement 

lol well it kinda works that way

No you should

I can pull a e46 intake in my sleep lol

@@NathansBMWWorkshop Dean is still cussing you! LOL

lp2565 I still make fun of him about that

Plus $400 tools are cool, the headache after wrecking a $10k engine isnt

sgreenfield4 can someone explain to me why bolts cost $400?

Captive market, convenience and dependability in a system critical role

@@jeremypetix4493 ARP's metallurgy and manufacturing process. OE quality rod bolts use "softer" metals and will stretch, hence a torque, plus x degrees in high stress applications e.g. suspension and engine rotating assemblies. The ARP bolts are stronger because of the manufacturing processes higher tensile strength metal due tighter granularity, carbides, chromium content etc. costs more to produce. There is way more to it than that but that is the basics. That'll be $400 so I can get my ARP rod bolts. ;)

It's interesting as normally when you replace rod bolts you would have to check the rod for "roundness" and maybe some might need resize. Bit of a gamble like this.

It’s possible it just wouldn’t be any fun

Olesya&Barrie Gunn That’s for oe BMW bolts but Nathan is using aftermarket ARP bolts that you can torque to 50 and forget.

Even with arp, I would do a 25 and then a 50 to make sure one end isn't pulled hard in first shot to 50. It doesn't harm to do in 2 steps.its about the stretch achieved. But doing in steps will reduce the skew.

not when its only 50lbs and when its turned to zero

A lot of people say it's not good to loosen bolts with a torque wrench... But if that's the case, then why is there a reversing option on them. What the case really is, you are just putting extra wear on it really

@@ryanmckenna5254 the reversing lever on the torque wrench is so you can torque bolts with left-hand threads

@@paulkile9998 that is what I was thinking left hand threads I have a separate old torque wrench use to remove stubborn bolts, as most of those wrenches are longer and fatter gives better grip

@@paulkile9998 right, which is no different than loosening a bolt, which validates my point, that it's not wrong put reverse stress on a torque wrench... Unless the bolt originally torqued with a different and bigger torque wrench

Try summit racing arp the best bolts under extreme pressure I use them for my race motor

@@GeneG-wk2mz thanks man

ECS, had to constantly stay on them to ship them, they did after 2 days

102k

Is impossible to have marking when the cooper is way more soft than the crank.

He said in the video that the crank was in perfect condition including the journals.

Low enough to see the brass lol

Dont even think about it, buying that car is like picking up chicks at walmart , looks good in the store but when you get her home and she takes her glass eye out and teeth out look out lol

Lavelle if you can turn a wrench you can work on it !

E39 is a great car with alot of knowledge about it in the internet. Its also surprisingly easy to fix. E60 is an electrical nightmare

I recommend you to get an E90 non turbo for you first BMW, very easy to work on once you get a hang of bit, just don't think is exactly like american cars, is different , if you get an 5 series with a v8 for your first BMW you are going to regret it , if is six in line then yes

whatever you do don't get a turbo anything! As for e39, if the car spent it's whole life in Dallas rust won't be an issue. If it spent it's life in NJ where I live just walk. As for the 530 the cooling system must be changed , if it doesn't have receipts for that repair, walk. Don't get an e60. Trust me I have one and they are money pits and the e60 is a low point in quality. Also you'll need a transmission service. Altogether if you don't have 7k walk. You will need atleast 2500 in immediate funds to have a 17 year old BMW in good enough shape so you can call it reliable

fernando sandoval I love the Bmw 550i with these cars you must fine you a real mechanic that can fine the problem if there’s one not just throw parts at it or money away and you must keep a scanner with the bmws

I mean some were down to brass they for sure were done

@@hansbrix2495 sure 4 more total $220

These were from ECS they are $20 a bolt

@@NathansBMWWorkshop yeah that is the retail price for those any ware, but why did you decide to go for the most expensive ones is what I am wondering?

is 11 mm

I see what he did. Patreon hint hint

H.P. VANOS pump could be worth $500+. Heads Only $200 each because they do not fail. Crank...add $200+. Coils? $100 all (Cheap). Wiring? Headers? ECU/DCM's and a car! ONLY for persons with skill, but you can do.

PS: I would be interested in rear sub-frame complete with LSD and pay.
