Absolutely fascinating and delightful to watch a craftsman with his specialized tools … Shall be bringing my good old 1968 R60/2 with 46,350+ miles in for his skills and expertise .

Excellent workmanship and videography. Enjoyed the disassembly of this engine and appears to have had some work done in the past. overall, the engine wasn't in terrible shape. I saw newer valves, pushrod tube seals, minimal piston skirt wear, clean oil pan/sump, timing chain guide not destroyed, chain oiler spout intact, later style double lip main seal. I too use Matra tools for disassembly plus some I made my self. I do mostly R25 Isetta engines and 600, 700 engines. Im mostly curious on the R27 cam compared to R25.

Good to have the right and complete tools. Makes the work a lot easier

Wieslaw USA. I buy parts only from them, they are irreplaceable. The movie is great. I'm waiting for the assembly of the engine

hello Jan regards from Chile Marco

[@altuspotgieter5497]

Hello, are those bearing pulling tools custom, or specific to that engine??

[@salisparts7068]

Only the Kukko puller for the rear camshaft bearing (which got stuck in the crankcase) is not BMW specific

[@altuspotgieter5497]

@@salisparts7068 thank you

[@michaeldickens538]

Can anyone recommend a shop to rebuild my engine? I'm without all the specialized tools, not to mention the skill!

[@briangtester2536]

How many thousands do you need to spend on specialized tools to work on this engine? The one used to extrude the gudgeon pin definitely isn't necessary

[@janwithagen3208]

Not sure what your point is.......but you can use standard tools in some cases / you can make your own tools (like the gudgeon pin tool)/ you can borrow tools / certain jobs can be outsourced specialized workshops. But whatever you do, make sure you use the right tool for the job and use it in the correct way. I have seen so many ruined engines, gearboxes and final drives as a result of using the wrong tools. By the way, the first "tool" required, is a repair manual.
