I actually like videos like these, where it's just plain regular noises without any obnoxious music over it! Good job!

[@brayanrayan8384]

Pourquoi like pour ipegle ou bien pour outre chose comme d'abitude

[@worldhello1234]

I miss the obnoxious music. :(

[@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx]

The Mechanic assembling the engine shows that has experience and knows what he's doing Very Nice

[@brucehutcheson5371]

Just like the engine, your video is clean, elegant, and direct.

[@blusnuby2]

Old School: No time saving power tools used...Refreshing. Well Done !

[@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx]

Oh Yeah Definitely

[@matonmongo]

Though already 'biased' towards beemers, have always been struck by the quality, elegance and design of even the simplest machined castings on these things. Harleys and Japanese bikes certainly 'do the job', though everything often seems much more 'crude' and mass-produced, while here it's easy to see how the quality and precision extends to every little well thought-out detail, right down to the guts, all built and assembled with watchmaker-like precision. Well done, thx!

[@mashed9603]

Marvellous. Thank you for posting this video. Poetry in motion

[@blasebermea3493]

That is an absolutely beautiful engine.

[@MrPanchoPlanet]

It's an art form! Very pleasing to watch.

[@nkolchenko]

Sealant . It's everywhere. Such a beautiful design))

[@riopermadi1966]

Beautiful! Thank you for the great video!😍

[@raylars752]

...I've worked on a lot of the M10 and M20 engines and it's always interesting that BMW uses the same type of engineering , tensioners etc , I wouldn't be surprised that some parts from the bike are interchangeable ... M20 and M10 are very similar and easy , fun almost intuitive

Just the sort of video I was looking for👍 just wish I knew how to translate into English. What make of ignition unit are you fitting? And where could I purchase one? Hoping to start on a 75/7 very soon hopefully. Cheers

what amazing great work to see 😮

[@NilsHomann]

Thanx!

[@jupiterjohnson7191]

What was the extra piece you put on before you put the oil pan on???????

[@swbusby]

nice.

[@kristinaluckett5591]

The weak link in bmw airhead engines are the camshaft followers. The ones you re installed are well past their use by date. They will destroy the camshaft and eventually the crankshaft when enough metal is generated.

[@tonni4274]

the oil filter relocation kit where did you get that

[@emilbronson4780]

Cool, a pushrod boxer, but I thought the newer engines all had over head cams? Nice sound effects, though.

[@jupiterjohnson7191]

Uh couple thangs! Was there an airbox? What started did you put on? What started cover? What about the trans?

[@francisastucker996]

I am using this engine to power a single seat locally made actual flying helicopter in Sierra Leone. Can some one help me with the direction of rotation of this enginr,s crankshaft? Tks

[@jojoemo995]

Hi Nils, Mir gefallen deine BMW Videos sehr gut! Kannst du mir verraten, mit welcher Paste du die Dichflächen vor dem einsetzen der Dichtungen behandelst? Viele Grüße Johannes

[@hadzicana1]

svidja mi se sto ste obadvoje mutavi Poenta je kako se lepi silikon (za to je potrebna velika pamet ) a niste pokazali kako se stavlja druga bregasta u fazu i niste pokazali bar na koliko se steluju ventili Sve u svemu bolje ista nego nista ....moze jedna tanka dvojka ocena za video

[@1spittfire]

Hello Nils. Nice video. What pistonring compressor is that you use, and i also wonder about that white stuff for the gasket, what brand is that

[@jacoblukewood]

What did you use to clean the parts?

[@lachlanwestrupp7487]

Is the alternator driven at crank speed ?

[@eXtraNOSS]

Respect

[@sushisocke]

schönes ding, wie lang hast du insgesamt gebraucht?

[@ironheadd79]

Done my share of H-D, BSA, Triumph and Japanese...Never built a BMW. Seems like such a tractor engine. Nice job regardless.

[@Archer28M]

Nemaš ti pojma šta je dobar motor.

[@ironheadd79]

@@Archer28M sounds to me like you don't no what a good motor is...Or have a clue what a fucking wrench is, I have built more motors than you've seen.

[@renevanderkraats3811]

Well, this guy is no slacker. You can just grab a coffee while he rebuilds your engine in a few minutes :P

[@axelbricks8662]

Hallo Nils, hast du wirklich diese Tassenstößel mit den Ausbrüchen eingebaut?

[@discogodfather22]

I love the flat airheads but the engines seem so overly complex with all the specialty tools required, sealants, and hard to get to components. Rebuilding a R60/2 engine once was the last time I will ever do that.

[@travelinben1966]

Wish I could do that!

[@beueuehebedududhdh]

Ich möchte nicht übertreiben aber dass könnte auch ein „Anfänger“ im Bereich Motoren schaffen oder? Natürlich mit 1 1/2 rechten Händen und einer halben linken. Etwas Vorwissen im Bereich Simmeringe, Dichtflächen und Drehmomente sollte natürlich da sein.

[@NilsHomann]

So sieht es aus!!!

[@dodge197502]

Happy New Year Nils 😁

[@dochi51]

Hi Nils, First at all, congratulations very nice video. I like that you used the original audios... Nice. Just a question, I'm looking a screwdriver with ratchet conector on the top, do you know where I can find it? (0:27 sec) Happy New Year.

[@madskilldude378]

Every hardware store sells them.

[@iammadeofsound]

How long did it actually take to rebuild?

[@Moonrakerd]

ive seen dnepr and ural engines inside but this is just so much more advanced, as even with all the modern mods its still not as good

[@papnmammodified]

Wow 😘

[@crackPHI]

Where do you learn all of this ? Do you recommand some book or any support for seeing and understand all the process ?

[@NilsHomann]

Most of what you've seen here is years of experience. To be precise, 12 years of experience with exactly this engine. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a specific book, because it is always important that you like and understand the explanatory style of the explanatory.

[@crackPHI]

thank you for your answer. And sorry for my approximate english. I’m really intersting to make some think like that with cars and bikes, I do some lot of manual work but I really don’t like make thing that I don’t understand. And video tutorial are in 90% case not enough. But, ok, 12 years.. nice work !

What was engine shell made from? Iron cast or aluminum?

Für ein Motorrad sicher ein guter Motor. Leider werden die Motoren auch in Feuerwehr Pumpen eingebaut. Hier sind schon 2 neue Pumpen mit Motorschaden verreckt. Vollgas mit Belastung ist nix für Dauer.

[@davidsnyders6797]

Hi Nils - thanks for the video. One question - when you assemble the rockers and spindle, the dot on the top of the spindle is shown facing outwards, but when assembled, its facing inwards - which is the correct way?

[@NilsHomann]

Do you mean a specific part in the video ? Have I possibly made a mistake? Please tell me the time marker.

[@davidsnyders6797]

@@NilsHomann Its at 3:09 shown facing outwards, at 3:18 facing inwards. I had the same dilemma when reassembling mine, so just wanted to make sure.

[@toddtonis]

@@davidsnyders6797 I saw this same difference. which way is correct please. Thanks, great video on engine assembly. video quality and lighting are excellent.

[@corrywoolfolk-10pmbb18]

How long did that take you? I have a 100/7 that i need to break down the motor but I have no idea what I'm getting into!

[@NilsHomann]

Sorry for my late reply. Even a beginner in the field of motors could do that! Of course with some prior knowledge in the area of ​​sealing rings, sealing surfaces. It is really not difficult.

[@ferdi9621]

what did you add in the final part? is that an added sensor for something?

[@NilsHomann]

This is a light barrier (the interrupter) for the electronic ignition.

[@revcounters]

Hello. Do you mean the engine mounting bolt torque?

@@NilsHomann Yeah. Tightening of connecting rods, cylinder cover, engine assembly. It's a bmw r80gs year 85. It's the same as the engine you built in the video.

[@fernandodelimagoncalvespin3958]

Hi Nils I have a 1974 BMW r60/6 that has a problem that nobody can solve. When I start the engine, the rev counter marks 1200rpm and after some time it starts to accelerate by itself until it reaches close to 3000rpm. This happens after 6 to 8 minutes. I wonder why? Thanks
