You ARE the specialty tool! 💪
Bro 🥹
Thanks I just picked up a $60 m50 and wanted to get the head off . This helps that I can do it without the specialty tools . Just like the m20 ❤
Thank you so much bro
Looking into tackling this job myself and this video is gonna be HUGE for me. I’ve got the entire cooling system overhaul on the way (water pump, thermostat+housing, radiator, etc.) but before I do that I gotta pull the head to do the gasket and get it checked for warps/cracks at a machine shop. big thanks for the vid
Glad this video can be of some help! Good luck on the job!
U on the gram fool
Big up from Jamaica bro
valve cover note, mine also had the random oil at times even with a gasket replacement at a shop, I ended up replacing the whole valve cover and gasket myself. My valve cover had like micro fractures in the plastic and the oil would basically swet through the fractures. and then found the shop used zero gasket sealer so probably added on to it some
I’m having head gasket issues with mine or worse could even be a possible cracked head. Either way both jobs require the same labor so this video is going to help me out A LOT. Thanks brother lol.
No problem brotha. Good luck!
@@JamDrifts what ended up happening with your head? I saw the shop dropped it?
@@JamDrifts so ngl ours has been hell so far😂.
Gotta put a magnet on those l8fters to keep them in place. They need to go back on the bore they came out of. Bare minimum label them with a sharpee and place where they came out
Instant sub after that 10mm comment 2real😂😂
Thank you sir I have successfully got the head off my e36
Video was great and very descriptive but when I was removing the Vanos system without the proper Vanos tool I stripped the gear and had to buy a new Vanos gear. It was cheap at the junkyard, but just to warn anyone trying to do this, it is worth it to buy the Vanos tool.
Just slightly rotate the crank while your pulling it out and it works just like having the tool
just blew my HG of S52turbo, stock unopen engine after 1y of beating start build pressure in coolant , no misfire or wet exhaust , so just boost lift the head I guess. And same thing - leaking out of cyl.3 and cyl.4
i know its been a while since you made this, but i would like to know how long this took to remove?
Hollow cams..
How awsome..
Just don't sneeze while loosing the cam bolts and you will probably be ok..
Maybe..
Probably loose head bolts or a cracked head, not just gasket! Check head bolts first and re-torque to 65-75 lb-ft. Forget liberal TTY BS, if they are loose torque them! :)
Are you sure you have to take the cams out to take the head off
I'm asking everywhere i can before taking to much apart on my 92 325is and hope you might be able to answer a question.
To replace worn and brittle timing chain guide rails (the one operated by the plunger type tensioner on the side of the cylinder head), do you need to take off the tmobile chain front cover?
Did you get your answer ?
Turns out the answer was yes. Thanks for asking.
I'm running into another issue after pulling and surfacing the head, and I'm not sure it's worth it to me to keep messing around with it as it seems I may need to remove the engine to work on it or replace it.
Thanks again for checking in
Why do bmw blow head gasket like gumbi blowing pokey
Gee gee
im trying to do this with no space or crane.. this is episode 1 but how did u get the engine out 😢
kinda late response but the head can easily be pulled without pulling the engine. youd spend much much more time doing that. only difference is just leave the manifold bolted to head just undo the lower connection down the pipe.
@@stuckbizzabee3921 hmmm interesting
What are your plans with the engine?
For now I just want to get it to a point where it's essentially fully refreshed and 100% reliable. I want to keep it NA for as long as possible and maybe do cams and M50 intake in the future.
I lost all compression on cylinder 4 after m50 manifold swap. 🥲
I feel like everyone has the 10mm curse lol
Well my vanos is obviously no good if yours was that hard to compress. I hardly have to push mine 😅
had the head any cracks ? thanks
The head did end up being cracked unfortunately.
any recommendations on where to buy a replacement head?@@JamDrifts
You look high as a kite 😂
