great video, its awsome to see more people buidling with the m60/m62,, people are starting to actually realize the power/longevity of these motors!!

[@rookiezgarage9844]

I think same. M60/M62 aint so bad engines. Yes, they have problems with cylinder, but so far if cylinder are okay, they are strong and great engines

[@vicfarns3721]

I was wondering what torque specs did you use for the crank bolts and head bolts? Also are those OEM bolts or something else?

[@pavelpavel2713]

I’ve just rebuilt my m60b40, but you done it much professionally. Oil injector I have never seen

[@clayp.e30_v86]

M60 doesnt have oil squirters. The 4.4 had them later as far as i can tell

[@johnsmith-ol9qj]

Would you be willing to put up a full parts list? I have a 94 540i and want to refresh the engine soon. Doing research on what parts to get.

[@johnnypenhale5743]

Nice work...I was not aware that the m60 cams were a more sporty then the m62 .. would nice to keep us updated on how it performs

[@rookiezgarage9844]

Thanks! Well yeah, M60 cams has little bit more duration and valve lift. Not so much, but still possible to pick up few ponies :D

[@Mena6e.c7]

M60 better than s62

[@-MindDrive-]

You wouldnt happen to have the part# for the center sprocket for the primary timing chain would you? I have an e39 '99 wagon and a 2000 740i with the m62TU I've been toying with the idea of swapping out the center U guide with a chain sprocket.

I have an M62NV and I'm thinking of doing the same.

[@Nickf.e90]

Awesome video, I have a quick question for you though. I'm currently building an m62 of my own and having trouble finding information on the main cap spacer bushings that sit against the block. Did you replace these at the time of the rebuild? Thanks

[@peacher574]

Hi. Did you have the cylinders honed or prepped for the new rings?

[@nickwest9075]

Glad to see a m60 build. Mind telling me the parts cost? Thinking of rebuilding a m62 out a e38 my dad has had for 30 years

[@dnbuzumaki79]

I was at awww amazing job one day I hope we get to see a m70 or s85.

[@getdealtwithquick]

Sweet Jesus, talk about clean work. What did you use for the Vanos seals? I had my engine front end rebuilt a 100k preemptively with Beisan seals and it only stopped knocking for a short while.

[@LynxStarAuto]

How did you get the finish so clean on the block and heads?

[@thatoneBMWguy]

Really good video man. I’ve got an e34 540i and I’m trying to do the same build. Where did you get all the parts from to rebuild it? I can’t find a lot of things on the internet. Did you reuse some of the original components?

[@pauliancu1368]

Probably BMW dealer?

[@blanky1876]

Can you make a parts list or a parts breakdown? Also will this engine go into an E34 with the M62 bottom end without fab work?

[@rookiezgarage9844]

Send me an email [e-mail] and I give you parts list that is needed for overhauling. M62 bottom and m60 heads, you can use m62 timing gears and chains, only need to modify timing covers lil bit.

[@bennygustavson7280]

Very nice Video! What kind of cylinder head assembly tools do you have?

[@rookiezgarage9844]

Thanks! For assembly and disassembly I use goodson replica bench, that makes installing and removing valves easier. For valve seat surfacing I have Mira vgx21 and for valves Robins Vr5. Nothing special yet, every month try to improve and buy better tools to offer better quality

[@bennygustavson7280]

@@rookiezgarage9844 Thank you for your reply, where is it possible to find that goodson replica bench? Is it an accepteble price? Brand benches is very expensive

[@marmolada111]

at the end you could show whole engine how it looks around, each side, not some zoom like you did. And even better would be if we can hear it like it works. I understand it was maybe not your engine so it could be problem to hear it. But at least you could show like this engine looks complete.

[@kornelpapp4692]

From where can you buy correction conrod and crankshaft bearing to the M60?

[@nathanarneaud5666]

Can this setup work on the e39 and how much power does it make

[@E.skrty.4]

Did you apply anything to the valve cover gaskets to help them seal? I replaced mine because they were leaking oil, and they started leaking again (mostly from the half-moon areas).

[@beukye]

You didn’t seat it properly Add a lil sealer on the half moons and corners

[@beukye]

Or your valve cover is warped

[@rookiezgarage9844]

Yes, you need to add seal on half moons and then it should be okay. And ofcorse, you need to tighten valve covers with right torque. Its really easy to rip cover bolt threads from cam caps and its pain to ass repair

[@LynxStarAuto]

@@beukye This is a huge one most miss. If your covers are all flaky and swollen looking, just replace them. They are likely warped and will seep from the half moons and also the grommets. Poor design on these covers. No bolts at the rear. Could have used at least 1 to help with clamping force.

[@DK-421]

Great video, although personally I'd rather hear talking of what you're doing, torque specs, etc. Then a follow up video with dyno numbers.

[@iraqirestoration2991]

Thanks for sharing Im gonna rebuild my m62 tu and i wonder if you can help me I need the torque specs for the main bearings and connecting rods along with the head bolts torque help me please

I want to ask about parts or if you can tell me where i can find it in website?

[@teodormihai2244]

Hi ! In this video the engine is m60 non vanus ? Or m62 ? Thanks from all my heart if you answer to me ! ❤

[@Nilezy]

for the M62 block, did you have to do any machining to fit the double timing chain idler gear or does the M62 block have the mount and threaded holes already setup to mount that?

[@clayp.e30_v86]

Everything is already there. The m60 stuff bolts straight up. There is an oil feed hole that lubriates the U guide on the m62 block that needs to be tapped and blanked with a bolt but other than that everythig can be transfered across 😎

[@laertistsakas9935]

Hello loved this video iam thinking to make a dream of years come true so my question is can I fit an engine m60/62 to my E36 Regards !!

send me an email [e-mail] i will send you the workshop manual,it has all the torques and engine overhaul procedures

[@patricwell8335]

Link to site to buy those parts at please

[@christianshelbrack9712]

Did you use the timing procedure for the M62 or the m60 engine?

[@LynxStarAuto]

The timing procedure is pretty much the same for both. Same locking jigs used. Only difference is the balance shaft/sprocket on the M60 vs ghetto U guide rail on the M62.

[@bavariansharks7149]

👍👍👍

[@wojciechkarcz302]

From witch model its crankshaft ? Its forged ? Blue colour in bmw means its super strong

[@aimized1460]

most likely the m5

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@gearhead_J]

does it work with both M62 non vanos and M62TU block?

[@francispowell1811]

Yes, the TU block can be used. The TU has distinctive valve reliefs on piston crowns.

[@Mena6e.c7]

No s62 parts would be good??

[@teonroberson5042]

why did you choose the mechanical throttle over the electric

[@rookiezgarage9844]

Not my decision. It had mechanical trhottle from factory. M62TUB engines has electric throttle

[@sonerd.1459]

How much for a rebuild like this?

[@joellowery]

Someone please make a set of metal guides….

[@Mena6e.c7]

So if if u wanted bigger cam it would be big m60 cam

[@fastshiftauto8941]

Can these block be sleeve ?

[@darek4488]

Yes. There are a lot of sleeved M62 blocks here in Poland. It is often the only option as these engines are known to eat their cylinder walls.

[@connieindahouse]

@@rookiezgarage9844 what is being done for tuning? This definitely needs tuned.

I was told that the bmw engines don't work right when rebuilt . is that true?

[@darek4488]

What a stupid excuse of someone who doesn't know how to fix them.

[@Xsidon]

yeah so that timing system was too reliable so they had to replace that central upper sprocket with that stupid U guide on the TU version. techincal upgrade my ass xd

[@RivieraByBuick]

9:19 a vary bad idea to put an internal hex anywhere on the engine, especially in that place. They also look to me as inox, which is also a very bad idea because electrochemical corrosion between aluminium and inox is extremely high.

[@southothehighway]

The risk of the oil pump nut coming off is a bigger risk.

[@RivieraByBuick]

@@southothehighway what?

[@LynxStarAuto]

@@southothehighway He's talking about the valley pan cover in the Vee of the engine. I don't personally see an issue with with using an Allen bit bolt on there. If torqued to spec, you shouldn't have a problem. If they are indeed stainless steel (inox), that could definitely be a problem however.
