BMW engine refresh - resealing my friend’s e36 M52 engine - M52B28 M52B25

After very long abscence I am back with another video. So this is the M52B28 that belongs to my friend. He asked me to change few gaskets on it and that is what I did. The whole process took a lot of time mainly due to a lot of issues I encountered. So main reason for the refresh was valve stem seals and hydraulic valve lifters. Since we were there replaced a lot more and cleaned the engine a little.

Haha! Dzięki wielkie 🙌 odezwij się do mnie na Insta to podeśle Ci instrukcje ustawiania rozrządu z której korzystałem. Świetnie opisana tyle ze po angielsku

Nice and positive vibes! And the engine is awesome

[@gorillaprojectcar]

I have few more engines to make episodes like this so there will be more and thank you 🙌

Hello Brother!! Its nice to see you again!!! I hope everything is fine with you!

[@gorillaprojectcar]

thanks a lot! it was a difficult last few months but I'm coming back on track! 💪

[@RHB-GARAGE]

Hey, nice video, i recommend loosening the cams evenly, opposite of the tightening sequence👍🏼

[@gorillaprojectcar]

We always do that ;)

[@dragen150]

Dziękówa mordoo za ten film mea pomocny oby wiecej z m52 lub e39 leci subb!

[@gorillaprojectcar]

I oto chodzi w tym wszystkim! Jest kolejne m52 już na stojaku ale muszę jeszcze stodole ogarnac żeby było gdzie ten silnik budować!! Coraz bliżej powrotu do nagrywania 💪💪dzieki

[@bigdeal87]

So for the other Cylinders for the valve seals, did you turn em to top center ? Can we also crank it counter clock wise ? Thanks

[@gorillaprojectcar]

Yes, whichever cylinder you are working on the piston has to be in a top position for that cylinder. And yes you can rotate it counterclockwise. If you think about it it still moves up and down so it makes no difference. Only when you have it all assembled and you rotate the engine counterclockwise the tensioner can loosen up a bit.

[@mexelele8776]

great video buddy can i ask u a question though ? can i put 140mm connecting rods on my m52b28 and does it work ? please answer i rly need to know !

[@gorillaprojectcar]

what do you want to do with the car? should that lower or raise the compression?

[@mexelele8776]

@@gorillaprojectcar i think it should raise the compression im looking for reliability with some fun mostly drifting

[@gorillaprojectcar]

@@mexelele8776 hmm… maybe high comp pistons would be better for that. I’ve never done that so I can’t say. If you have them and you’re already taken the engine you can check and measure ;)

[@mexelele8776]

@@gorillaprojectcar too much money on my country to just buy high comp pistons i got nonother choice but try them I’m worried i might blow the engine

[@coreytheecorey4056]

What’s up, my names Corey from Chicago, just got my first bmw I know it has a m52 engine but how do I know witch one I got?

[@gorillaprojectcar]

Hi Corey! Try strut mount in the engine bay. Should have engine code there. If there was a swap it’s more difficult. B25 and b28 have different stroke so you can measure that through spark plug hole 😉

[@witchertv5860]

Cewki z m50?

[@gorillaprojectcar]

tu wszystko było oryginalnie. silnik z samochodu z 95 roku to kilka rzeczy w nim było przedliftowych i kilka poliftowych... poza tym wiele rzeczy mogło się zmienić przez lata różnych właścicieli. cewki z vinu zamówiliśmy i wszystko pasowało

[@danielnowakowski4748]

Na samochodzie nie da rady tego zrobić?

[@gorillaprojectcar]

Może jakby ktoś się baaaaardzo uparł ale byłoby niesamowicie trudno wiec zdecydowanie lepiej silnik wyjąć ;)

[@MisoElEven]

1:50 .... wait.. who the hell would say that? The 4 cylinder BMW engines were not only quite crap, they had 4 cylinders :D they only selling point is a little bit lower fuel consumption. Everything else the 6 cylinder M52 is the better engine - especially considering the almost 100HP difference in power... oh and the lovely sound of the i6, no matter what you do to the exhaust the 4 cylinder one is never going to sound good.. seriously was this some kind of sarcasm Im too stupid to understand or what? :DDD

[@gorillaprojectcar]

Finally someone noticed it 😂 it was a joke obviously 😅 nah we love 6cyl bmw engines. There is a theory that bmw made their i4 cars with intention to be bought and swapped to i6 if you crash your previous car 😉
