great work. SUBSCRIBED
Thanks man. It is so nice to see people appreciate my work🤝
Thank you for fantastic videos. I have been watching all your videos. You have inspired me and give me motivation to start the cleaning operations on my BMW 525D N47T engine. What kind of fluid are you using to clean the valves and intake ports? Can I use DPF cleaner for removal all the oil, soot and dirts?
Hi and thanks for watching my content and for the great feedback. I like to use brake cleaner as it can't damaga rubber and plastic. Some of the products they sell can be very strong and may damage valve stem seals. Just use petrol if nothing else is available but be sure to close valves and extract all out. Don't allow anything to fall inside. Check thouroughly there is nothing left in the ports like bits of material from brushes as it can cause damage. It has to be super clean
@@TheKeenMechanic Thank your very much for good feed back. You do mean that I should put something to close and protect all other valves and ports to prevent anything to fall in while i am working with one. I have already ordered the crankshaft tool to open and close valves. Is Walnut blasting an accepted metode to remove all dirt and carbons on valves and ports? I have seen there are garage offering cleaning valves, ports and walnut blasting as well in England for 350-400GBP. In Norway I cant find any garage offering these kind of services. If any garage has these kind of services it will be so expensive that nobody can afford to use the services.
Yes, it is good practice to cover the ports so nothing falls in accidently. Make sure to test the ports to see that they are losed so no dirt leaks inside. Yes, walnut shells are very expensive but it saves dealing with the mess. If I have to clean them again I will not bother with walnut shells and just save some money. Make sure you have good brushes and use plenty of brake cleaner or petrol to dissolve the oily mess. Extract as much as you can with a cheap vacuum cleaner.
That’s a good ideea !!
Thank you🤝
Hi can you make video how to replace windshield nozzles line. One of my nozzles sprays in funny angle and I think I need to replace it but don’t want to brake anything 😆😆
Hi and thanks for watching. Thanks for the video suggestion🤝
I would like to know if and how much this cleaning affected the engine, i.e. was there an immediately noticeable increase in power, smoother running, less vibration, etc. Can the chemical get into the engine?
Have a look at the full problem and the full video on this link
ua-cam.com/video/yHPzIIQisAk/v-deo.html
The car was badly clogged up and was stalling most time at cold start. It was not regenerating, the power was low especially in low revs and fuel consumption was high. After this work the car was running like new and fuel consumption was 6.3l per 100km on long journeys, before that it was close to 8l per 100km
There is no way anything will enter the engine if you know what you are doing and you close the valves as shown. Hope this helps and answers your questions🔧🔩🤝
nice work right there. BMW dealer will not do this even for 5000 euro :)
Thanks man. Dealers are good at replacing expensive parts as they make good money on both parts and labour😶. Not many garages try to repair and reuse anymore. Sometimes things just need a little bit of TLC and some "elbow grease"
Great ideas
Glad you find it helpful. Thanks for your message by the way. Are you a BMW owner yourself?
@@TheKeenMechanic , no, not a BMW owner, recently cleaned a ylinder head off a vivaro 1.9.
Love the cable ties idea, and purpose built scraper, proper forehead slapping moment, seeing how effective it was. Thanks
@@stuungar3390 Yes, I have to admit the cable ties are great but was not my idea as I have seen this before at a friend of mine's garage, but the scraper was my own invention. It is amazing what you can make with stuff lying around the garage and a mig welder. I have to say I will be lost without my mig welder. I have a 1.9dci trafic with 160k miles. Haven't looked in the ports to see how it is but I would say it will be similar if not worse.
Yep, lol, worse guaranteed, egr valve + engine oil = nasty caked sludge. Mine was at 150 too, surprised it went. Alternator belt went into the timing belt, which is apparently a common thing to happen.
Apparently the f9k is the best engine out of all of them, along with the 5 speed gearbox.
Will fully recon the old engine, rings seals etc. Nothing like working on an engine out of the body.
You have a very clear way of explaining things. Cheers
MIGs are the best
What machine did you use to walnut blast the intakes?
Hi I used a pressurised blaster pot but had to do some modifications to the gun with parts I had lying around the garage. Not worth investing in one as it is expensive if you are only going to use it once. Also the price of the walnut media has gone up and is like £70 per 20kg bag
I have two N57s that I’ve done walnut blasting on but my pressurized tank set up isn’t so great. That’s why I was wondering if you had a specific blaster. Thanks for the response.
What is wrong with your set up? Not enough pressure or is the media clogging up in the ports?
What was the tool you used to clean the gasket surface for the intake
Hi. It is a small diamond coated tool for sharpening router blades. It is very fine grit and flat which is ideal for the job
@The Keen Mechanic thanks, I just ordered me one to try it out on my cylinder head
@@miguelh281 make sure you order the finest grit they have
@@TheKeenMechanic I ordered a 4 pack. The finest grit it shows is 1000. Is that okay?
@@miguelh281 1000 grit should be ok, just test 1st and see how it goes.
How do you know when the valves are closed ?
You will see them moving up and down. When they are up they are closed. 🤝🏻
@@TheKeenMechanicyou can see from inside the ports or?
@@ashleynoke9736 Yes, you can see from inside the ports or you can also look at the camshaft lobes if you have removed the valve cover / rocker cover.
As I explain in the video you can spray some brake cleaner inside the ports to check they are closed and then start the cleaning. Just educate yourself a bit more on how the whole system works before you start working. No shame in asking as we all had to start learning from somewhere🤝🏻
@@TheKeenMechanic thanks I appreciate the help, I’d rather do it without removing the rocker cover so will just look down the ports 👍🏻
@@ashleynoke9736 taking the valvecover on an N57 is a big job. I have a video on it but I only recommend doing it if you have oil leaks and need to change the gasket. Other than that you can just remove the intake and clean the ports and clean the intake too
how many km have this motor
266000km🤝
Wow great work, nice.
But no material enters the cylinders?
is it dangerous to do it?
Thank you
Hi buddy. It is totally safe as long as you know what you are doing. You have to close the intake valves on each cylinder you are working on. Hope this makes sense🤝🏻
@@TheKeenMechanic Hi friend, I think I understand now. I have one more question if you can, what cleaning liquid did you use?
Thank you
@@dariopiccolo671 I used brake cleaner as I buy it in bulk and is cheaper that way. You can also use petrol as well. Just make sure to clean and extract everything very well and blow the closed ports with an airline at the end. You can also use oven cleaner and pre-soak the closed ports then rinse with hot water and straight after rinse with WD 40 and brake cleaner. Do not leave water sitting for too long. Water is the best way to clean the oven cleaner. Make sure to have a wet shop vacuum cleaner to extract all the waste from it🤝
@@TheKeenMechanic Hello friend, thank you for your precious explanations, I will try very patiently to do it. Thanks again. Hello from Italy
@@dariopiccolo671 No problems. I have cousins who live in Italy but never been to see them. I have only been to Roma once. Lovely country with so much history.
Do you sell your 3d port adaptor
Hi. You can buy these on ebay.co.uk for £35

This may sound like a silly question, but which way did you turn the engine over to open & close the valves? I've got to do this on my E90 n57
Hi
When you install the crank pulley tool then turn clockwise and watch your valves move up and down, do it slowly and gently. You can turn anti-clockwise too in case you need to make fine adjustments but generally you want to spin it in the natural way it turns. No such thing as silly questions, better to be safe than sorry😉
Thank you for the quick reply! I've never done an intake manifold before so I thought it's worth asking 😂 loving your videos as well mate 👍
@@Toastmanpat Thanks man. Glad you like my content. Appreciate your feedback
