when the m54 billet block coming ??

I remember!

Good video Tony. I remember a sanctioning bodies tech director writing an article for a magazine. The one thing he stated that I thought was very important was this, "Your class may have a set of rules regarding safety but I suggest once a year buy something that is not mandated, if it makes your racing safer, it is a huge bonus." Safety is huge priority to me as I have lost a close friend in racing. Safety can never be sacrificed! Keep up the good work Tony!

My left ear enjoyed this

Those look pretty good to me compared to ones that are changed from street cars. Are these really considered too worn for race application?

First off - very cool technology... But, what good is 0.00012" precision when you have 0.0015" radial play between the valvestem and the guide to begin with? Secondly, while I understand the precision of the CNC itself is perhaps 0.00012" - the ultimate precision of the valve seat itself is still dependent on how precisely the machine is "zeroed out" on the centerline of the valve guide - just the same as any other method of cutting valve seats.

but would not be better than to have an electric pump prime the oil pressure before starting the engine, and keeping the oil pressure up when you shut the engine till the crank stops ?

Is there any n54 built block?? and can it be compared to a 2jz or RB ??

I'm not sure about the BMW platform but I know one thing bearings are not perfectly round like your main bearing journals. This is by design. The horizontal measurement will always be different than the vertical. This is due that went under high horsepower. The crankshaft is trying to be pushed out of the block and the bearings bearings are made to maintain clearance for oil

Do you have m54b30 rod bearings?

Street legal?

TEŞEKKÜRLER

We need s85 v10 😭

Has anyone actually taken delivery on any of these yet?

I have the perfect m3 for y’all to test street performance parts with … hint hint 😅

Do they still make this machine?

This is a great throw back as to why VAC Motorsports are so good at what they do. They race themselves and all that experience goes into every part and engine they sell! Well done Tony!

I assumed, per the title, I was going to see a tear down, or an engine that was already dissembled. I recommend changing your filming style. The wobbly in and out takes away from what you want viewers to stay focused on. Edit, script, or rehearse what you want ta say for a smoother delivery. The above is from an instructors course.

I've used felpro on some of my boost builds with no issues and have a center ring welded in the middle layer that causes an extra seal. I really wish cometic did the same hopefully I hear good results from the mlx. They said the mlx has a center with a folded in lip and it's like an extra layer only in the center ring. Cant wait to see the results it sounds superior to a center weld ring

Great work guys. You did an amazing job 👍

I have an e39 540i with low compression in cylinder 3 and 7. The m62 race motor isn’t available on your website but I’m looking forward to a stage 3 rebuild soon. You guys are good for the culture

Awesome

Congrats on the new machine shop, those are some badass machines being set in place!

Do you make them for anything other than BMW?

That 265 replacement is amazing, good to know for my '79 B7 Turbo dogleg

Price??

I was looking for engine difference. Not some sales pitch for arrow rods.

amazing work! E36>>>>

You gotta give people a price when they inquire about these things otherwise posting these videos is a total waste of time

appreciate the work you do sir- Happy belated 39th!!

Bulid a sleeper Suzuki swift sport with a s52 motor with a big ass turbo

what? bore and stroke is 84/90mm on s58 and s55? b58 is 82x94.6..🤔

☝️

Do you also make a destroked S65B40?

Engineered for racing not all BMWs of course will be so perfect. One thing is racing another is a street car. But very nice to see that BMW CAN CONTINUE to be the ultimate driving machine..

It is said that some BMW engines have much too tight rod bearing clearance. I called VAC about possibly having BE bearings installed, also coated, but designed to have a little bit more clearance. So that the engine oil can better lubricate the bearings. Paul Milano was quoted to have joked, "Why would you want to install worn bearings?" Would love to hear more about this issue ...

Thank you Tony for a great overview I like how you explain the color differences due to the heat treatment and I’m wondering which one would be better to use for best performance

Anyone put this in a car yet??

Very informative Tony, thanks. Products look sensational. Very excited to receive mine in Australia recently.

How much do these heads flow fully ported?

Been out for a few years now. Still waiting on someone to truly push a m5x/s5x with a billet block.

Damn. Whats the cycle time on that bad boy?

All you need is money.

So which e46 cuz u showed 2 😂

Not an M5

Realize that the amount of gas money to drive that far was more than the value of the car

N54?

Badass 🤙

So is this better than iron block

No sé porque si soy team JDM pero amo al e36 😊
