The goal here is to build a reliable engine by addressing the most common failures and upgrading those commonly failed parts. We're not building an engine with more horsepower but rather an engine that will last for several endurance races and hopefully beyond. In this video I tear the engine down to the bare block so we can start fresh. The next video will explain the process at the machine shop and I start to put it all back together with new gaskets from FCP Euro and some upgraded Parts from Turner Motorsports.

@Sf_Mason 2 года назад

Having just gone through the pain of a rebuild on one of these engines, me and my engine builder found out something during the rebuild that is worthy of note. Check the rods and piston weights, the rods in mine were found to be within 1g of each other, but the pistons were massively different, the biggest difference found was 7grams between the heaviest and lightest stock piston. At 7k rpms, i dug around to check online for G loads, a piston sees around 3500g, this works out to around 240N, or 24kg (nearly 50lbs!) of unbalanced mass thrashing around on the crank.

We did get it rebuilt, made 261bhp / 333Nm with a 7k RPM limit :) Mostly stock parts but some choice bearings and ARP components and a Achillies oil pump. DM me if you want the full spec list, but we did do a full dynamic balancing on the engine, and it makes quite the difference

@HnK_Alex 2 года назад

Do you know the reason behind these differences in weight?

@Sf_Mason 2 года назад

@@HnK_Alex Given the M54 was built by computer and it was the first generation of BMW's where the engineers were pushed to build to a price rather to a specification, I'd hazard a guess they increased the weight tolerance to reduce costs and this was the result.

@uploadsnstuff8902 2 года назад

Love the teardown and the video, really interesting and well done! On a side note, not sure if you guys are doing the editing, but I feel like some of the sound effects are too loud when compared to the voice. Maybe consider exporting the video with loudness normalization applied (BS.1770-3, -14 LUFS, 0 LU, -1 dBTP) so there's no sudden change of sound when using sound effects (which are great btw). This maybe requires to bump the voice track by a few dB in case it's too quiet after the export, but I think it'd definitely improve the sound so it matches the quality of the rest of the video.

@JamiesGarage1 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback, we will work on that. 👊

@bogdandabrowski2837 2 года назад

There is one major issue with this teardown. Since those engines tend to warp cylinder heads by raising the middle part, it's advised to remove the head bolts in reversed order to the installation, so starting from the outside to the centre of the head. Not following that procedure may cause additional warpage, which will be resurfaced but will still translate to worse camshaft journals alignment. Other than that excellent work.

There is nothing more expensive than taking your BMW to a non BMW shop.

Aluminum block M52's and M54's frequently have the head stud issue, so what you do in that case is install Timeserts. That ends up making the threads stronger than stock and bulletproofs that part of the engine.

planned to fail means that they designed in bolt holes to replace parts when they fail, most manufacturers back in the old days didn't really need that because half your engine could be missing but it would still chug along for 10 years only needing oil changes.

@@Turshin Older BMWs can be super reliable if they are MAINTAINED. You dont change the water pump when it breaks, you change it before it breaks.

The DISA valve is one of very few actual problems of the M54.

@Turshin 2 года назад

@@Vaino_Hotti Last I checked oil changed were important for any engine you're not trying to kill. The engine isn't sophisticated it's plain junk. I've seen a Toyota V6 run with no oil pan. These things blow up with oil in them. Plastic water pumps and water plastic water lines.... REALLY? And why can't BMW design a proper rod bearing? My 2002 suburban with a 5.3 ls has over 300k on the motor. Im not racing the truck but it does tow my 4000 lbs t-bird from Michigan to Ga regularly. No smoked bearing at all. Matter a fact it still pulls like a freight train up the mountains with a load. When racing you don't want "sophisticated" you want RELIABLE. I would've definitely LS swapped this car.

@Vaino_Hotti 2 года назад

@@Turshin Frequent oil changes keep the inside clean, and that's important for things like variable valve timing (VANOS). The simple, basic hunks of iron keep going longer with old dirty oil, like your 5.3 LS. And even those have lifter tick issues, cam phaser issues and DOD issues mostly due to old oil. I bet your cam bearings aren't exactly the healthiest after 300k. Only the S65 and S85 engines have an actual rod bearing issue, and that's mostly due to hard use and the engines revving over 8k. As if GM never made shit engines... Almost all manufacturers have used plastic & composite water pumps and plastic coolant pipes at some point. And if the water pumps and coolant pipes are changed when they should be, they rarely are an issue. Like the M54, the LS is a good engine, but they have their issues, no engine is perfect.

I love how Jamie explains the details. His very thorough. That's look like a lot of work and replacing many parts, not sure how all the labour and parts are "cheap"

Kudos FCP sponsorship. I have a Mercedes’ R170/M112 disguised as a Chrysler Crossfire and they are the go to for parts that are Chrysler unattainable and less than Mercedes’ dealer costs. Excellent customer service both ways.
