I'm taking Paxlovid(likely due to not wearing my mask around crowds, now I will) and binge watch your backlog videos during my down time and looking for a used E53 as my dirt road car.
Sorry to hear you have COVID josh. ive had it twice so I know how it feels fella.but I must say your better than me outside fixing car top man matey anyways great video as usual and hope ya better soon 🙏🙏🤞👍
Nice video, hope you recover from covid, take in consideration to change the rear coolant flange and hoses, ones the engine is in the car it is a pain to change those parts. Keep up with the good job.
All gaskets want to be tightened evenly. The oil pan or the valve cover, you want to jump side to side and end to end slowly cycling through a pattern to tighten up the bolts. Also did you put the valve cover seal onto the spark plugs hole tops? Didn't see it in the video
I'm a learner every day so I was curious, why "downgrade" to a OBD1 from OBD2, isn't the OBD2 more modern and better, thank you for awsome and detailed contet, really love it
The only upgrade obd 2 provides is easier diagnostics. This motor will actually make more power with the obd 1 conversion(mainly because manifold). But the main reason is since the e34 never came obd 2, i would have to make a completely custom engine harness, or completely repin/rewire the body harness connector to mate the obd 2 harness, which for me is not easy, as I don’t do wiring.
@@m3nameisjosh464 your videos are top quality brother, I hate to sound ignorant but I’m not well versed in the whole obd 1 conversion stuff cause I’ve only ever worked with obd 2 and just out of curiosity. If the e34 didn’t come with obd 2, what are you converting to obd 1?
awesome video. Would an S52 and 5 speed auto swap be as straight forward for a e32 735i ? that would be my dream big sedan. thank you for you amazing work and videos
Is it possible to swam an e30 with an m50 and keep the ac, what is needed for it, do you have a video on it. Could i get a list with all the parts and maybe the links to where to get them when tou did your e30 m50 swap
I have all my m50 e30 swap videos in a playlist from about a year+ ago. Unfortunately I didn’t keep Ac. You use m50 ac compressor and then get custom lines made and the rest of the e30 stock stuff works I believe
I did not know thermostats had a specific orientation. I need to go back and check mine now. I ended up not selling my e36 hehe. Marketplace people are the fucking worst sometimes.
The covid deniers can use you as an example: "This virus is total BS, people are out there building S52s with that common cold!" All joking aside, hope that you're feeling 100% again soon and very good work with the engine!
Okay, it’s freaking me out now lol!! I got to ask… who are you?? I’m watching an constantly asking myself where is this level of skill and knowledge coming from?? You look like a kid, 21ish (no offence) but You’re like a middle aged bloke skill and knowledge wise hahaha.. is there a explanation video I’ve missed lol.. I need age, history, uni courses done ect because I’m a nosie fucker 👌
Hahahaha im 23- 1 month. Self taught automotive work in my garage by working on cars. No automotive school. No background as a mechanic. Just working on my personal cars. Im a mechanical engineer by education!
hope you feel better

Sounds like a great time😏
Swapping an m52b28 into my obd1 93 325is, these videos have been super helpful
Happy to help bro!
Appreciate the content even through you having covid man big ups 🔥
Appreciate you more! Thats why I do it!
Hope you feel better

Nice engine, hope to get your reply to talk about sponsorship.

Kinda figured that for oil pan as well. Oops. But yes as he mentioned i did!

@@awaissattar9214 because since it didn’t come with obd 2 the e34 cant mate to obd 2 stuff

Not as much considering a 735 is an m30 car. But should be fairly similar
@M3nameisjosh thank you. what would be an easier motor swap for an e32 735i to get a 5 speed auto transmission?
You dopped this 👑
Thank you bro❤️
What's the difference between OBD1 and OBD2 and what does OBD stand for?
On board diagnostics. OBD1 was used up until 96 If i'm not mistaken. OBD2 is everything after. OBD2 is just more modernized updated hardware/software.
@@Chattsteezy thanks dude!
^ yup he nailed it.
Did you use new crush washers on the vanos oil lines? I couldn’t tell. Another great video!
Cheers, George
He did in the previous video yeah
Yessir!
have you considerd using lightweight pulleys seems like a good opportunity if you already have the engine out
Not really a worthwhile mod in my opinion. Minimal gains for a decrease in power steering and charging abilities
Hey, got a question, I'm in the same situation with the vanos solenoid, how did you manage to get it out, please?
Thanks a lot!
Clamping it with big vice grips and fighting it for wayyy too long!

@@m3nameisjosh464 do you have a link to the condor mounting sets and stuff
did u buy genuine bmw knock,crank, and cam sensors??
OEM from FCP euro

I did a shit ton of yard work when I had covid on 2-4 hours of sleep
Hahahaha thank you my friend! This comment cracked me up!
If the blocks are similar then couldn’t you technically swap an s52 head onto an m50 block
Yes you could haha
@@m3nameisjosh464 I only ask cause I suspect there’s a bottle of head gasket sealer in my car
Why did the engine spin so badly? It should spin effortlessly
Spark plugs in. Good compression fighting me
High five. Covid gang🤘🏿
Hiiigh five!
if sreten saw you use that much RTV he have a fit.
Pshhh that’s minimal rtv my friend;)
why does this guy sound like Paul walker. or just me?
