Building an Abandoned 1000cc BMW Engine from 15 YEAR Cold Storage

Ike disassembled this 1985 BMW K100 motorcycle back in 2005 because the engine had a knock. When he had the engine completely taken apart, he realized that the final drive shaft had worn and was causing the knock. The customer didn't want to pay to have the bike reassembled, so the entire bike and engine sat upstairs at Ike's work for 15 years, before we bring it down, reassemble it, and see if it will still run. The BMW K100 will be an awesome power plant for an upcoming go kart project because it makes 90 horsepower, is shaft driven, fuel injected, liquid cooled, and has a beefy alternator. The only question is... will it run?

This power plant is going to be a beast🤑

Aye sup carsandcameras

[@everythingenginenate966]

I think that you guys got to find an old Briggs 7 or 8HP engine and use on a go kart. I have an example in my channel if you want to to see it. There real hot rod go kart motors with the low idle.

[@brennensbuildsmoore5537]

Hell yeah, straight pipe

[@omgomgomgpuppies36]

Do I hear custom bmw powered turbo side by side coming

[@stevejohnson7165]

Beard looks good. Bromance

[@rookieoftheyear1877]

I started watching way back on the $50 go cart build, bruh its insane how far you guys have come. The editing, the content, you guys have legit sponsors, just crazy to see.

[@CarsandCameras]

RookieOfTheYear thanks for being a part of it🤘

[@whocares.20]

Agreed, but please don't go all KZbinyWood with the damn elevator music, seems to be a bad trend. I started watching YT to get away from that crap on TV/Cable channels.. Needs no music, you guys have the entertainment already :)

[@stevensobba1785]

Sean Spark I agree about the music, does show their progress in filming /editing , but the music seemed like was for a love interest, not rebuilding an engine . They are “passionate “fellows in their craft must say! 👍🏻🙏🏼👊🏻🌻

[@fl350r]

I would rather listen to banter and engines than music.

[@Edward_John]

Now that Russell is retired he needs to be in Cars and Cameras. He can do some guest comedy spots and be Ikes boss emeritus.

[@johndudemech9471]

Ed Beard agreed

[@derschwarzgeist]

He definitely needs to be a recurring character.

[@danf4616]

Agree. Russ is a hoot.

[@fergusonhr]

Yes, forsure

[@kylez2141]

For sureeee

[@daveb7663]

I have a 1986 K75S still sitting in my garage. Fuel pump went out about 20 years ago, the same time I was getting knee deep into a career and family. I preserved it well, I think it's time to resurrect the old classic. Man I loved riding that thing!

[@sweeneysweeney1901]

The motor actually looks really sweet. Can't wait to see the build

[@Justicescales123]

Reverse trike bike like the spiders perfect built for that motor

[@FioraniMotorsports]

im hoping its gonna be a rear engined dragster. that would be epic. ive been missing the rail.

[@brycecourtneymusic]

That would be cool. I'd love to see a massive vtwin if they could find it.id love to see a 1300cc Harley Davidson twin on a rail

[@sethharriman1988]

Fr. It's getting nice out they need to bring the rail back. And make it faster than ever

[@BigMike422]

I love listening to old mechanics complain about BMW design haha

[@slamboy66]

They are a nightmare, cars or bikes .

[@pgaks3]

i love airheads, but not a fan of the K bikes

[@Hicompvn]

That moment when you put a motor back together, and it fires!!! @9:20. let alone 15yrs later. But it's still the same feeling!!! Awesome work Ike!!!!! Much appreciation being sent from Australia 🇦🇺!!!! Ditch the tank, get a new fuel pump and run that girl!!! She's dying to run after 15 years!!!

[@PKMartin]

Things I hope this goes in: - tadpole trike - some kind of bike-based dragster - cross kart 2.0 - ridiculously overpowered minibike

[@4486xxdawson]

You forgot , my garage lol

[@boominS10]

I'm sure theres a power wheels out there in need of a new power plant like the little tikes car was lol

[@ian3166]

Looks like you got Number 3 on that list

[@mikek1187]

Mad props to both of you for preserving an intact beemer and then repairing an old "brick." When taken care of, these engines are very nearly bulletproof. I had a K75 and K100 several years ago and had not a single issue with either.

[@minitrucker68]

It was $100.00 plus it was just sitting on a shelf right there... complete.. and you know the history of it... didn’t have to track one down and not know anything about it’s background.. love it! Can’t wait to see what you build next

[@gingertimelord5]

Won't lie, clicked on this video fast because of the Jeepster in the background, I have a 1950 and love it

[@rusu8721]

nice job guys but I'm just drooling over that red willies in the background thou! lol

[@norm1233]

Build another cross cart with this so Ya'll each got one to rip together

[@dragonrider6875]

I am ready to see what this is going into! I hope it is a second cross kart build!!

[@vaporistic4203]

This is my favorite channel for sure. I've been watching since I was a kid and I'm 21 years old! You guys really came up from the beginning and the thing I love most is that y'all still make videos. Most channels stop or give up but not this one. Quality work and pro welding. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there! :)

[@jackallen6261]

This would make a great engine for my'71 MG Midget! Water cooled, 5 speed, shaft drive, and 90% more power! You're giving me ideas...

[@MD-bk7kb]

That’s going to be a great project!! Can’t wait to see it...... TWO WEEKS!!! Lockdown, I admire your optimism, try 8 to 10 at least and you might be getting close.... just make sure your stay safe guys, and take the social distancing seriously... it saves lives.

[@johnpauljansen9206]

That Isuzu, in the beginning, is awesome!!

[@collincurtis5024]

John Paul Jansen dude I want an Isuzu trooper so bad. I have an amigo but a trooper would be sick

[@GoKartsorGoneFishin]

CONGRATULATIONS on 800k in advance!

[@lukedeguiseppe5790]

I’ve watched these guys since the very beginning and their videos never get old. Keep up the good work guys!

[@steveblackbird5174]

Hey guys, Love the one episode build... for an engine sitting that long!! you guys got off well... Hats off to the guy that pulled it apart and stored it so well. Stay safe guys and God Bless... Both of you are looking strewn out... get some rest please... The US is hurtin' atm and my thoughts and prayers are with you all!! gold Bless from across the pond in Sydney!!

[@helmesnick79]

Thank you for being safe and continuing the builds. I look forward to seeing what this beast is going in

[@slebdad]

Anyone can buy and put a busa engine in. This is why we love your channel, where else can we see an 80’s BMW engine fixed and put on a project. Let alone see an original bike running. Also the sound of this motor is smooth!

[@gregoryfletcher6198]

Those engines are torque monster. Will go great in a buggy

[@nofiltertv0710]

That Isuzu trooper in the back ground is mint 👍

[@michaelovitch]

Just use a random same size car fuel pump and use the stock mounting housing. No need to use an inline fuel pump. I did it,works like stock.

[@seansysig]

$100 90hp shafty is a crazy build engine starting point. Mount is as low as possible.

[@adew4u2enjoy]

Ike, kudos to you. I've watched all your guys vids, and in every single vid when there was some sorta of anything that was wrong, you made a suggestion of what you think it was, and 99% of the time you were right. You are a very good mechanic. You guys only need 2 tool that will launch you into the next level of custom builds. A tig, and a metal lathe.

[@motorlife5239]

Hey guys you should totally use the tank thats on it. it holds about 4-5 gallons of fuel and its real easy to use and replace the fuel pump when you need to

[@megoingfast]

I saw Ike with the beard and saw a young Santa Claus. Jolly. About to give everyone a gift. A gift of fresh and clean motorcycle.

[@visionariestravel]

Ever since I started watching you guys videos I've been trying to do so many more projects. Im in the process of building my first go kart. Keep up the great content and thanks!

[@MakinEndsMeet69]

Wow I swear the beginning of the video where Ike had his hands together it looked like he was so hyped up about getting into this project he was about to get a nut, you guys kill me with your videos man I just absolutely love them . That's a well-built brick by the way guys. Please stay safe

[@Marc_Wolfe]

The smallest car transmission you can find, and something like a Harley V twin... just something without the transmission case integrated.

[@g0ldensample21]

I enjoyed this style of filming. The chill beat was pretty cool.

[@wthorpe420]

So yall put this engine back together that hasn't ran for 15 years and started it with ether? You guys are smart!

[@spencerrounds679]

Bring back the diesel cart and do something different with it

[@trob5202]

Spencer rounds turbo diesel would be cool

[@maacpetzol2205]

1:1 raitio it. Lols

[@srcobra50]

Maybe put it on a mini bike with a very tall gear ratio

[@SportbikerNZ]

Pretty sure that thing holds the record for slowest, heaviest engine ever. Would be cool to see what it can do with a 14t sprocket on the rear axle though.

[@Onemattressatatime]

I'm at home in my recliner at 2:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday watching the video . Normally I'm a workaholic but doing my part for social distancing. Thanks for the program

[@valentins.352]

Great great video guys, I have been following this channel for over 4 years and this was one of the most nicely produced videos I have seen on this channel. Love the new engine can't wait to see it run. Stay safe, healthy and happy :)

[@travismiddleton4172]

I love your guys personality and how you guys stay postive. Ive just been watching y'all for a short time but went back thru so many videos. Good job love the content

[@cybertronianexchange595]

Looking at this, it makes me want to see an idea I had about a reverse 3wheeler. One big mud tire on the back and 2 sand rail type wheels up front.

[@maacpetzol2205]

That trooper is sweet. I've got one just like it in dark burgundy. It's a monster on the trails

[@MadHatterOfMetal]

This is the comment I was looking for! What year do you think it is? Late 80s or early 90s?

[@jesseatterberry4990]

Love the content, good info!! Looking forward to the project your putting it on!

[@NoBody89000]

That would actually be the perfect engine for the drag rail. Its low profile would allow you to see over, shaft driven would eliminate all the chains and Jack shafts, plus you got gears to bang through giving higher top speed.

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

You young men are on track Ike the look when a engine first fire up is universal and priceless Probably the same look of when man created fire Look what I have created . Good job guys happy and safe Easter

Come-on guys, give us a hint on what it's going into? You guys are awesome! Keep it up.

That engine looks awesome with the tank on top. Would make a wicked looking sand rail/buggy with front engine.

One pretty cool thing about these bmw bikes is that you can build an entire r75 i think it was, from bmw´s parts catalog still ! Very expensive, but still pretty cool!

That is going to be a cool start to a new project. I love those engines. The fuel pumps on those are better than most, you may try cleaning it out. The plastic holder in the tank is usually broken. The tank is aluminum, though, no rust, EVER!

Can't wait to see what is to come! I have an old Trisport that needs to be restored. Only thing is lack of funds to rebuild the engine and torque converter, or to replace them with a newer engine t/c setup. (Disabled Vet with limited funds)

[@scottcol23]

It's a mystery what Ike actually does for a living. Sometimes I think he works with small engines, sometimes I think he works as a auto mechanic, and sometimes I think he works at a machine shop. I even thought he had a bicycle shop at one point... (It's his twin brother's shop) I've Been watching the channel over 4 years. Love y'all.

Great Michael Corleone impression from the oldtimer right there...

Hey Guys.... Love the video, as always.... Hmmmmmm, how would that fit in your FED (Front Engine Dragster)? :-) I got my second job when I was 12 yrs old working after school in a Go Kart shop, assembling racing 2 strokes on kart chassis, etc.... and racing on weekends. That was back during the early 1960s until I went in the Army in 67, then after I was discharged I got my introduction into drag racing "shoeing" (driving) a Jr. Fueler FED for a team... and at 70, I still love doing what you two are doing... Keep up the good work, and enjoy it while you can... PS; I can't believe that after all that careful re-assembly, you spray ether into that engine.... Ouchhh!! Nasty stuff!

[@blasted6760]

Waiting for an insane build from you guys should be awesome.

[@mikedrop4421]

Watching Ike run on those bearing caps by hand triggered my ptsd. I used to do that by hand too but now I use a cordless drill set to the lowest torque setting and slowest speed and then torque them
