Bmw M44 engine rebuild part 1 crank installation

First video of my m44 engine rebuild
Just to point out, this is purely a DIY build, I’m no expert
I build my own race cars and want to start building engines for both me and my friends!
I’m sure there are errors or faults in my methods so I willingly encourage both positive and negative criticism!
Thanks for looking

Thanks! I've only assembled BMC A-series and Ford Kent motors myself. I'm just about to do the clutch on my 318iS (and in the process replace the heavy dual-mass flywheel with a lightweight flywheel). I asked the flywheel supplier about the timing trigger and he said it's on the crankshaft not the flywheel. I tried verifying that with Haynes manual but it's a hopeless confusing multi-part mess. However your video shows at 10:20 a thing that looks like a big straight-cut gear that can only be a timing disc. A picture is worth 1000 words (or 10,000 in the case of Haynes' literary epic!) I'm saving your video for later reference in case I ever have to do the motor.

The cash going out for gloves is more than the parts

I know you should always take new oil and oil as you put parts in so you dont dry crank the car.

thenk man. i can on my m44 do this

[@dariusalavocius9185]

Why didint u cleaned all the rust from inside the block? With oil running through engine rust will break and leasest thing u need in bearings and pump shit like that...

[@e36racer44]

Darius Alavocius hey man I think it must be the light to be honest, this block was fresh out of parts washer and I honed the bores and lined honed crack caps and seats
Cheers
