BMW M5 S63 Engine Rebuild | PART 6

[@TinCanSailor]

Appreciate ya spilling the tea and still looking forward to watching the build and maintaining content. I have a built engine after having gone through 2 oem spec engines. Now my M6 is back in the shop for the clutch, I work at sea doing Space/Defense work so I cannot always do the work so time does not always permit. Getting to learn from the community is always helpful. Wishing you much success.

Thank you for your support. Hope the M6 made it back home. That's a sweet ride!

Question, prior to your engine sesing, when you changed your oil, did you also drain the approximately 1.2 quarts of oil still left in the oil cooler? This often gets over looked and you never truley have a fresh oil change, dealers will only drain the engine oil. Do you think this plays a role in bearings spinning?

If you are rebuilding the engine I recommend a completely new oil cooler and replace every hose the oil touches. If you're doing an oil change I wouldn't worry about draining the radiator. Whatever oil amount is in there will be circled with the Nex oil change.
