My wife's car overheated and blew the head gasket due to a water pump failure, this is me learning how to fix a BMW while fixing it.
Polo BAH engine rebuild
Переглядів 27 тис.3 роки тому
This is my wife's old car that broke down and has been standing for more than a year. It was overheating and burning oil. I finally got around to rebuilding the engine. This is a diy build and shows how I do it and not necessarily how it should be done.

Chicken Nest Boxes

I build these boxes with 16mm ply wood. The roof tilts up for easy egg collection and cleaning and replacing the straw. Hens will often share nest boxes so only a couple is necessary depending on how much hens you have.

I made this during the first week the Lock-down with off cut material I got from a friend. One has to be creative during the Lock-down or loose your sanity. The boxes are made to fit into my shelving and makes more efficient use of shelving space.
Where you based in Cape Town
Did you leave the outer layer of gray material outside the sealing surfaces? how has this repair held up?
He didn’t remove it. But are you suppose to? I’m currently doing a head gasket and removed it all
@@dakotawright9781 after looking, that darker color is the magnesium casing around the Aluminum open deck. It stays. I’m doing mine hopefully his weekend. Just carefully clean the gasket residue.
@@dakotawright9781 can you post pics? lol maybe I do need to remove it lol
My clylinder 2 is grtting coolant and looks like piston is off
anyone know if you can do this without pulling the engine on an n54 ?
He did this bc coolant in cells right
Nice video for educational proposes unfortunately you don't share torque specifications and tools used to viewers to properly learn what you trying to teach them as those are the key factors to help everyone with their builds
I have the car, also requires some attention. Do you mind helping me out since you have expirience already. I would also like to be working with you.
So once overheating, wouldn't the dme enforce limp mode to protect engine and avoid head gasket damage? Not sure how you managed to blow it!
I agree, I was also wondering about that. When my N52 waterpump went out, it shut off once it detected overheating and wouldn't let me drive at all until it cooled down.
Do you have a reference for the rockers covers?
Is there a diagram to retime it ?
rebuild my engine but engine just cranks no start. timing done correctly checked everything still no start someone help
Check your crank sensor
@@tsholanangprecious6378 i did problem was crank sensor timing. been driving the car for months now. but its overfueling a lot now, changed spark plugs but still overfuels and exhaust has a strong smell of petrol any idea what it could be?
usually its the eletronic on the water pump that dies due to the heat cycles.
Very well done sir. Extremely brave man🫡‼️🔥🔥🔥
me looking at this about to strip my BLM apart 😢
What was the cost of the rebuilt
Amazing work 👑love youre patience and dedication put into your work ..i have a 1.6 16v bah and would like to bring the car to you for a rebuild !!!
Where are you located and how much do you charger to rebuild BLM?
What torque u used on cams?
Hi did you find out the torque?
@momo2575 @TheRenegate85 Camshaft bearing frame to cylinder head 24x bolts 10Nm from center out bolt pattern. Hub to Camshaft 1x bolt is 100Nm, camshaft pulley gear to camshaft hub 3x bolts is 20Nm + 90°
At how many miles it failed?
Great video. Would you know where to find bolt torque sequence copy? Thanks..any link
It's crazy you did a workshop job that would cost more than 2000 usd on your own backyard garage. Respect Brother. Most people don't have the balls to open their own engine, let alone handle timing and correct torque specs.
Me trying to do the same thing but a woman & everyone I’ve asked for advice on my bmw offered me a new car 😂
@@janetalpizar5108 pffff...life ain't the same for everyone I guess 😮💨
@@janetalpizar5108that’s me RIGHT NOW LMFAOOOO
Hi,owsone man ,baie mense is bang om op dai motor tewerk😂😂😂
Very Nice Video. But can u Maybe explain How u knew How do put on the vanos wheels? Do they have Marks on them or something like that ? Thank you very much 👍🏻
He used the timing tool for this job.
You are not a Mechanic 🙈🤔😂😂... Wow please teach me Brother
Good job contact number please
Contact number
Sir where are you based...you such a beautiful motor technician.
I need mines done
Ever bust one of the magnesium bolts?
I have a similar car and i think it has a similar problem, how much would you charge?
Time is difficult for me to set can you help me set the timing for e90 four cylinder
USELESS IHAVE 6 MAINCAPS WITH A OILWHOLE WHETE IS NO 6 GOING ON WHICH YLIND😅ET?
Compliments to you for handling the whole job yourself, only thing I would have done different is replaced the famous hydraulic valve lifter tick while your at it
Good video and nice approach on the rebuild. I did my BMY engine and getting fault code on the crank sensor connected to the rear main seal P0321, using the tool to install it. Any suggestion is welcome.
Where are you good man??
hi there whats the torgue settings on the silinder head and the flywheel?im also doing my polo 1.4 16 valve bby model but searching for advice still...any help plz
30nm 90 degrees, 90 degrees(2 times 90 degree cycle) use oil on bottom of threads and underneath top of bolts. Use an MLS gasket and Elrond head bolts.
This isn't as complicated as it looks intimidating. This is the only car I would consider replacing the head gasket on. It's pretty user friendly & not allot in the way of getting to those point. Some engines have too much junk over the engine that you have to remove before you can even consider starting on removing the valve cover. This is EASY. But only for this car. Not sure about others.
What about on an 2009 e70 n52? Mine has a slow leak and I am thinking of replacing it..
Definitely not as bad as I thought it would be. Ive been dreading this for almost a year now when I broke a spark plug in the head and the mechanic wanted about $7000 to remove the head and drill the plug out but it doesnt look too bad to do myself. A lot less work than my frontier's head gaskets. That was the stuff of nightmares.
@@MrLildeg8you’re probably talking about your valve cover leaking the head gasket doesn’t get a “small leak” it blows due to heat and pressure and seeps coolant into your oil passages and destroys your engine by thinning out your oil until irreversible damage is done
As much as you've learned from other people - I've learned from you! Nice video, no unnecessary music. Straight to the point and very informative. Well Done!
I wish u can fix my BAH engine one of my local mechanic overhaul my engine it was starting just that it had no power and it was rough idling, so after overhaul the engine is no longer starting no spark no petrol from the injectors he told me he fitted the wrong crankshaft for other polo now I have no idea what's going on
Check rear main oil seal, people have a tendency of buying the wrong one
Can you put the cost of the rebuilt
I’ve got a 2013 xdrive 35i X5 ,I put recommended amount of oil in at oil change. I did not account for possible residual oil let in the engine,long story short,I developed an oil leak shortly after and believe I blow my head gasket. Sound about right? What can I expect in terms of rebuild hours?
Very nice job. It’s a lot of works but you save a lot of money. What usually goes in the electric water pump is the electronics, at around 80k km they start to fail. Saludos from Argentina 🇦🇷
What special tools are needed for this job?
Did you end up reusing the camshaft seal?
I have the same car and the engine smokes alot. How do I get hold of you
repla ce your oil rings and valve stem seals
sir u did a phenomenal job. WELL DONE YOUR A GOOD HUBBY.. WISH U AND ALL YOURS THE BEST 🙏
Hi Sir the name is Musa, I'm having the same model of the car and it's been giving me problems on the engine ever since. I took it to a Merchanic and still landed on the same issue. How can I get hold of you?
I bet it was fun removing those snapped aluminum bolts.
Great video mate, well done!
Did I miss something or did you really use the old head bolts?🤔
Think you missed it.
I heard of people doing it I’m just scared they will break
They look new to me.
You can hear slight bubbling in my expansion tank at 225k miles. I think its time.
Good job...
Very informative and helpful. I have a quick question sir. I have exactly the same car but it’s a 1.6 my 2nd and 3rd plugs are getting slightly Wet with oil. What is the best way forward do I only do the cylinder head/valve stem seals, oil rings or do i need to do a complete engine overhaul? Your advise will be appreciated thanks.
oil on the top of spark plugs or underneath where the spark happens?
@@aLLDaYeVerydAyAPpLe were the spark happens
