Fixing the paint on my BMW E36

26:30 - I like your theory but the cylinder walls wear with the cylinders and the bore of the cylinder wall and the cylinder its self becomes "out of round" (basically the cylinder bore becomes oval shape, and the piston matches the cylinder bore. So the piston also becomes oval shape). Piston rings are what seal the gap between the piston skirt and the wall of the cylinder, which when worn will cause a loss of compression. So replacing rings on "out of round" pistons will give you compression back without the need to replace pistons, but if you tried to replace these "out of round" pistons with brand new "in round" pistons without boring out the cylinder walls you would get piston slap (which is where the piston can move too freely in the cylinder, because the out of round cylinder bore is wider due to the wear from the old pistons)This is why when you look for forged pistons you will find the factory spec width and the factory spec width + 0.5mm. Machine shops will mill out 0.5mm of the cylinder wall to bring the bore back "in to round", then you fill that gap with oversized pistons.

[@boqer123]

What about nikasil cylinder liners being worn away by sulphur in fuel?

[@jamesbaggaley1460]

Pistons don’t become “out of round” unless they’ve made contact with the cylinder walls… Only the piston skirt will be damaged if piston slap has occurred.

[@cooolsimon282]

@@boqer123 I don't know a great deal about that tbf as most of my experience/knowledge is based on the 4g63 which is an iron block. That definitely could be a factor though if that engine definitely is Nikasil. Are you sure it definitely is? Apparently BMW replaced a lot of these engines under warranty with the newer aluminium variant and I think stopped production after 1998? All things considered I probably would've sent the block off to the machine shop with the head to get them to measure it all and get them to recommend next steps, as you could be putting a fresh head on a block that potentially needs to be bored/honed or at the very least needs new piston rings (I can't actually remember if you did mention the block was getting machine work). Although as a caveat to that I don't think it's very straightforward to actually repair a nikasil block. M539 Restorations got his alpina engine rebuilt that was nikasil and I think it ended up breaking down so he had to source a new block that was in spec. Apologies if that doesn't really answer your question haha

[@boqer123]

@@cooolsimon282 ah think you're getting confused (don't blame you cause we have 3 engines haha) - our engine that was blowing smoke is a nikasil engine 100%. We've checked the casting numbers on the block. This new block we're using is alusil m62 and is absolutely great. We have proof of compression tests and full service history from the engine it's pulled from. The engine with the bad bottom end is getting scrapped, cba to waste machine shop money on that haha

[@petercox4932]

Love this build series. The green just pops now. Definitely more bolts done up with spanners than undone.

That E36 is coming out so sick! Spanner defo undoes more bolts than it does up, more importantly though It would be an honour to have the great Gandy’s signature

[@jackgoldie3561]

A 42 minute BQR video is unbelievable scenes

[@benwhitford5703]

Spanner definitely undoes more than does up, me a spanner is to get into tight spaces and to loosen tough bolts in small spaces. Loving the build

[@Titan-DetailingUK]

A spanner undoes more things that it does up deffo. Loving the E36 build!

[@Jonnytwice]

Seeing the 36 all cleaned up makes me miss my Boston green coupe. Looks sick. Can't wait to see it with the V8 boys!!

[@jallakongen5339]

Love that you take your time to explain what some of the parts does. Cant go wrong with the color green😍

[@speedy83]

I reckon my spanners and sockets undo more because I like to loot parts from cars at scrapyards so I remove the bits I want, then remove the faulty/broken from my car, then install replacement also that 1" impact was pretty awesome, I can't imagine you'd need one often - but when you do ..... what a treat

[@robin_marriott]

Genuine LOL moment at 6:58 😂😂

[@Twxzlr]

me and my friend just bought an e36 328i and boy it is a project engine doesn’t run and so much needs doing so much rust etc. we are broke and have little to no knowledge but we got the whole year😎, love watching your videos ❤

[@Mrtoms98]

Should always loosen head bolts from the outside inwards in opposites (if that makes sense) loving the E36 series!

[@TheSpectre223]

I reckon a spanner for sure does up more than it undoes, because I'm forever adding bolts that fell out of my shitboxes so my spanner not only does up the original bolts but also does up new bolts which undid themselves. Even bolts which worked loose but didn't fall out get spannered tight again several times before they get undone to replace something, so they might get three 'does up's for every one 'undoes'.

[@razor3369]

Wheeyyy been waiting for this, came across your videos randomly as a recommended suggestion, and I'm now hooked, you also cause me serious hunger issues with the cooking segments but also inspire me to cook more often 😂😂 Keep that good stuff coming 💪💪🤌

[@curcapsicum]

You guys are working so hard on this and it's going to be SICK. Man, that paint cleaned up SO nice, it's so fucking shiny hahah, that Ryan did a great job.

[@diffedirl]

A spanner definitely undoes more stuff. Whenever I'm finished working on the e90 I'm left with a handful of screws and nuts. It's an unlimited source of hardware.

[@officiallyterriblehd9118]

Spanner does more loosening surely as when your done loosening you drop the spanner into the black whole never to be seen again, always a 10mm to 😅

[@alexholmes9521]

When using heat if you can't access where the bolt screws into heating the bolt up will just expand into the hole making it tighter, heat the bolt up an try an cool it down quick to break it away from the thread. Heat makes everything expand you don't wanna expand the bolt inside the thread.

[@bengarrett269]

It would be cool to see you collaborate with more companies almost like a car check and day in the life. Also where's the cooking?!

[@lindenbasket]

It depends who the spanner belongs to. A backyard warrior's spanner has probably undone more bolts if there are any unfinished project cars. A mechanic has probably done up more since a mechanic might find loose or missing bolts and replace em.

[@robmiless]

Been looking ripped lately brother keep smashing it!

[@skaterguy52]

You need a heavy duty harmonic socket for that. It's basically a weighted socket for cracking crankshaft bolts

[@Coffey_bus]

How good is that Aldi magnet with the light in the end. Work zone tools aren’t that bad especially for the price (unpopular opinion) Also definitely undoes more bolts than it does up, stripping things down for scrap or unfinished projects.

[@graemeeasterbrook4931]

And you’ll get some tosser bang their door into it in a car park. I’ve got a 1995 silver e36 2.8i stored on a farm (outside, unfortunately) but can’t wait to get it into a garage to start the restoration project 🏁🥳🎉

[@kiansingh3847]

it might be reasonable to hypothesize that in repair and maintenance contexts, spanners are likely used to undo more often, while in assembly contexts, they are used to tighten more.

[@elliotyu69]

Does stuff up more than undoes, definitely

[@jeevie_m]

Should defo body match colour all the trim work. Would look soooo sick!

[@97whitie]

Spanner’s definitely undo more than they do up…just based off the amount of times I’ve finished a job with bolts left in my hand 😅

[@JonoTEVE]

I would say a spanner undoes bolts more often because most bolts get lost and you just leave them out because theyre not needed...

[@GTiR23]

Yeah a spanner definitely undoes more stuff than it does up. Although it depends who owns the spanner.

[@aeronpapps9594]

Unpopular opinion is Audi a1 are sick cars. Spanner definitely undoes more bolts then dose up cause everytime u take sommat apart you have atleast 1 or 2 spare bolts for weight saving

[@maseoldham3570]

spanners have to undo more than tighten stuff up because half the time you round the bolt out then come to the realisation you should of probably used a socket

[@Stroudy007]

Does more bolts up for sure!

[@karlmiller3623]

Unpopular opinion: the Rover K - series is a brilliant engine. Revy, sound amazing, half decent on fuel on a run

[@BOOT]

Not that i wanted to enter the contest but since many people end up with spare hardware after a project/repair, I'd say OFF or apart mostly. For example you took apart a few engines to make one and now have lots of spare bolts 😜 Also if those head bolts are TTY(torque-to-yield) don't re-use them but idk anything bout those engines.

[@davog1946]

It’s also a lot to do with the weights of the sockets. That 1inch socket looks like a weighted or overweight socket!

[@jakebraisher007]

Love the vids man, can’t wait for the e36 T-shirt and poster to arrive

[@noodlez7612]

Seeing the similarities of this engine and my project R53 engine (mostly of it being a pain) just makes my wonder how BMW thought them both through. Spanner also undoes more bolts than it does up... think of all the bolts that are left over after a job 👀

[@qers]

Well, on the spanner debate. I put my E36 back together a year ago and I just found a couple bolts that were supposed to be on there, so I'd say they undo more bolts than they do up.

[@ChadTheLad]

Need a review on that E91 335d?

[@padhraicoboyle7564]

Spanner undoes more because it only gets used for tight spots like taking brake callipers off

vibration of the v8 makes bolts go loose, on all important bolt like oil pick up and oil pump always use some sort of threat lock ! I am no BMW engine knower but those lifters look like flat tappets, they have specific thickness for the the specific valve they ride, u need to label them.

i was like to put forth the idea that spanners do most definitely do up more than they undo. here is my reason simply think about how many things in your shop are currently done up, who did them up …. a spanner did (i do not mean andy) if spanner’s had undone more than than done up then nothing would be put together.
