In todays video we run through a very important reason why you should be extra careful when building an engine without correct knowledge and measuring equipment, things could end badly. We try not to mention the E30 today but get a very exciting delivery, but it’s not the body kit

Hi Lee thank you so much for the birthday shout out. I really appreciate it! You made my day m8 love the channel. Hope you guys are well! Take care, Neil

@redchemicalsltd2324 Год назад

Hello Lee, Great vlog...l think your find that the oil in the sump will go to the front under braking unless you plan on spinning 180 on the brakes first...😂

@colinscutt5104 Год назад

i had that issue , Accusump solved it

@davidpirtle1076 Год назад

Always pleased to see how thorough you are. It's not to surprising to have the clearance close up a hair with a fastener change/upgrade. Keep the E30 content coming! I can't wait to see it burning up the track!

@yarrdayarrdayarrda Год назад

It states quite clearly in the ARP hardware instructions that the housing bores need to me measured and align honed if necessary. I don't even bother test fitting main studs in a block, I go ahead and cut the main caps, install the hardware and align hone the block. Occasionally, you need to drill the cap holes slightly larger if the stud pulls the cap to one side.

A mate has a little 4.0 Toyota 1UZ FE in a E30 coupe road car. Whatever the method, just that little more power is exactly what the E30 needs! 👍

Drinking game. Drink every time Lee says E30!

@chascarpenter5006 Год назад

Think i'll come off the special brews then.....

Don't ask how I know. A 2000cc Fiat twin cam crank will touch the redundant cam shaft if not timed correctly

@jonss1948 Год назад

Looking forward to the E30 build and pleased to see more bits arriving for the car. You kindly mentioned that you hoped it was nice where your viewers are. At present it is 19 C with a slight NE breeze and not a cloud in the sky at Boyne Island, Queensland.

I rebuilt a Fiat V6 as fitted in the130 back in the day. They were a large Granada size car. All ran well, apart from a small knock from the bottom 😕. I called a Fiat dealer who advised me that if I had the distributor drive 180 deg out, the fuel pump cam, (driven off this) would just kiss the crank on its way round! I turned it 180 and the noise stopped! 😅

@puggzymalone5824 Год назад

Can't wait to see progress on the M3 engine! It will be good because we will then see the engine in the car when you take it on the track! Have you got an estimate as to how long the bodywork and paint will take? If so then you could try and do the engine in that time frame, obviously fitting it in around customers work. You're so close to 40,000 subs! Nearly there!

@michaelschweizer4772 Год назад

Looking forward to the E30!!!

@mikepickett3277 Год назад

Very good video showing the importance of critical tolerances. As. Paul said, near enough is not god good enough when you’re looking for power. Popping down the shops, maybe. Get it right

@martinthompson4462 Год назад

Plastigauge has its fair share of knockers but it has saved my backside more than once. I am a heavy diesel bloke, I never build an engine without using it.

@bobmizen1 Год назад

Thanks for your informative videos, after browsing for a while I subscribed a few weeks ago as I used to be a toolmaker, now retired, and am familiar with most of your machines. When I started my apprenticeship I was even on shaping machines, which is a mystery to most people I suspect. I've worked in lots of places making car related parts like prototypes for the motor industry eventually working on wire eroding machines. We just got back from a meal to celebrate our 51st anniversary and the first thing I wanted to do is watch your latest episode. Thanks again for sharing your experiences. Regards, Bob M. South Wales

@peterridge5472 Год назад

Love the content lee don't change a thing always look forward to your videos any chance of some barum engines stickers for for my race ski

@davidcoyle7125 Год назад

Fingers crossed i dont upset anyone by asking, any sign of the body kit? Have a great weekend.

@TheOriginalDaveJ Год назад

Yeah it's coming. . Lee doing his usual and panicking thinking he'd been ripped😂

@nevkirkham7657 Год назад

Will need to rename your channel soon from Barum Engines to "The E30 Show" lol

@philipclegg5792 Год назад

Good info on bearing clearance guys 👍🏻

@BILLHOVER Год назад

Plastigauge an engine builders must have and we have use this for forty years and it has never let us down yet.

@rick9380 Год назад

I'm following the BMW build, love em, i'm on my 5th, well this one's an Alpina but hey ho 😁😁

@samting2009 Год назад

love the BMW stuff!

You are an absolute legend Lee 💯 thank you again 😊

@michaelanderson2689 Год назад

Can we get a time lapse of an engine block recut? 👌👌👌👌🤞please 😂

@anthonybrowne4022 Год назад

Lee Loving your video mate,also the truck car going look great can not wait to see the end product,but I’m sure the video on rebuilding the engine will be great,looking forward to seeing it all,keep it up with the Barum Engine dream car 🫶🏻👍🏻

@tonyhartshorne5862 Год назад

Set up a mk2 channel like Mat Armstrong for your project’s people are moaning about. I would like to see the BMW progression but if it’s going to cause you subscriber loss, then you can deliver the best of two worlds?

@STANLIZ4 Год назад

Great vid with lots of interest to come in the next few months!

@stuartlew1229 Год назад

i will say lightened flywheel is a big big must ... rotating mass lighter the better and a decedent crank dampener

@markysparky1965 Год назад

When's the lambo going to REPerformance for the work you were telling us about? Looking forward to the collaboration video as I've been following Ricky there for a while. Great guy that knows his stuff!

@barnesandrewj Год назад

Best Lambo model in the best looking color for it bro! Happy for you 😀

@henryoliver3712 Год назад

Just crack on with the e30 🤙🏼🤙🏼

@dennissheridan1550 Год назад

Lee, I noticed that on the Golf R there were no threads showing above the nuts and a couple looked like there was a thread or so below the top of the nut. Is this normal or are the studs a little too short?

Gonna be out on the Kawasaki Z900RS this weekend

Some very expensive fudge with a free gift of a BMW engine and other bits.

@ryanharriss7950 Год назад

Here's a question, do you let the staff have a sneaky go in the lambo?

@shinkansenshinkansend8316 Год назад

Why would anybody have an issue with plastigauge? I always use it on bike engine builds when you are trying to match rod grades to journal ID marks, the manufacturers' graphs / bearing colours aren't always exact.

@mrb3483 Год назад

Any news on your bodykit?

@paulorchard7960 Год назад

Like me with my boat, its fine dear, only cost a few hundred, 2000 later just another 200 to finish!😅

@tonyfry5455 Год назад

As a marine engineer, a guy once said to me ' I've worked out what boat stands for - ' Break Out Another Thousand '....😄

@darringrey4329 Год назад

The bearing clearence is dependent on oil viscosity?? I had the bearing clearence tightened up on my SBC to run 5w30 full synthetic no problems at all

@andythorne1261 Год назад

why are you not dry supping a race engine

@fatwalletboy2 Год назад

So guys to be clear if you get your 2 thou desired clearance would you expect it to spin free of any bind or still a tiny bind???

@1magnit Год назад

But why are you even using ARP studs? They can't do anything that the stock parts can't do .Except cause problems.

@georgebettiol8338 Год назад

The OEM provided studs that satisfied the 'stock' power output - and in such cases are more than adequate. The said engine is being modified to generate 450 hp which is significantly more than stock, a situation that could result in permanent 'stud stretch' if standard studs are used. ARP studs possess a higher tensile strength than 'typical' 12.9 Grade studs - so can withstand higher tensile loads.

@1magnit Год назад

@@georgebettiol8338 You're just being scammed by the marketing machine. If you apply the mathematics and physics to the problem the bolt torque translates to clamping force which opposes cylinder pressure. The cylinder pressure translates to a downwards force which acts on the bolts. Take the 2 figures and make a comparison .If you're too lazy to work it out then you're doing nothing other than guessing. You can't even figure out that horsepower has nothing to do with anything as it's just a product of torque and RPM.

@georgebettiol8338 Год назад

I don't wish to delve into the minutiae of internal combustion igntion engines and the engineering disciplines of stress-strain analysis and fatigue analysis of materials. However, if you are so convinced that the material properties of a main bearing stud and/or big-end (conrod) stud have no impact on its durability, then I recommend that you replace your engine's main and conrod bearings with Grade 2 studs/bolts and see what happens. As an aside, recommend that you invesitage what the 1980s F1 BMW engineers did to ensure the 50's designed 4cyl 1.5 litre (M10) production engine (then designated M12/13 turbo) was suitable for the rigours of F1 racing - where it was estimated to produce 1450hp in qualifying trim - and around 1000hp in race trim. To put it simply, it did not contain M10 'standard' internals and most importantly did not use the M10's standard fastners.
