My Turbo E36 Headgasket Finally Blew !!

[@12VDHuey]

Sorry to hear that man, you'll bounce back soon. Part of game that we love unfortunately 🥴. My E34 is in the air right now as I'm rebuilding the entire exhaust, got tired of my leaks lol

[@kmartkid6312]

Sometimes the head gasket will seal on non boost situations. It could be fine on normal driving but increased cylinder pressure with the boost could be too much.

[@itsBlack]

That's what it seems like. It only has problems after ripping on it

[@xilch0]

When you do the gaskets, you should put on Toyota FIPG 103 as an rtv like additive. I've had a few E36 now and putting that on my head/valve cover gaskets has worked wonders for oil leaks. Learned the trick from M3nace. Good luck with your repairs.

[@KirbyGamer302]

I've been fighting over heating issues with my 95 m3 for like 2 months but finally have it under control. From what I've read about the e36 cooling system, if any air at all is getting into the seemingly closed system, coolant boils and evaporates which is what was happening to me. My radiator cap was loose one time and had a loose hose clamp as well cause overheating. Yours definitely sounds like head gasket from your symptoms but I would check all your hose clamps for the cooling system just to make sure. GL champ, head gasket ain't too bad on these. Like other people are suggesting, cut ring head gasket goes a long way on these things for stock internals.

[@josephdavis1445]

I run a decompression plate and two victor reinz gaskets stacked, with stock head bolts. Lowers your compression to a safer level. Never had a issue.

[@kadenduncan9519]

me too but with arp studs

[@DanielAtHome1]

do decomp plates increase the displacement?

[@drewdavis239]

Two gaskets and a plate... how thick a gasket? Your below 8 to 1

[@gabsky2365]

I done a head gasket on my e46 in 2019 and now I’m at 265,000 extremely hard miles. It’s not a bad job but check everything while you’re in there. My e36 had a cracked cylinder head and I’m in the process of ls swapping it now because i got a engine for $400 and why not

[@carloskarczewski1303]

Sad :/ but clearly shows it happens to all of us! I know it’ll be up and running again in no time. I started watching your videos when I was looking for my m3 and your wrenching videos always help me get myself into the garage and make some progress! I’m just waiting on new exhaust hangers and once those come in this week I’ll be actually testing it on real roads finally! Setbacks are always part of the game! Time for rebuild

[@kalibsima1450]

It took me 2 days to replace my headgasket on the m54b30. The best thing to clean any carbon deposits is thinners. It would usually fail in front by the main water jet going to the thermostat and cylinder 1. Put an oem mls head gasket with a paper thin layer of rtv on both the block and head for the gasket to sit on. When you put new coolant in the engine, look for a silicate organic acid based coolant. Best of luck.

[@alpye]

I've got the cut ring it's worth it, if your gonna bend a rod your gonna bend it. I have a set of 133mm rods which are - 2mm from standard so you can run low compression they from k64 performance if you want them for cheap as I have now gone back to 135mm with forged pistons. Oh forgot to mention they are h beam

[@derricknelson3396]

That sucks man but you have the right attitude. It can only get better now

[@izzye333]

I had the same thing happen to my car and it ended up being the ring lands. If you wanna boost a m5x/s5x it's best to open your ring gaps.

[@charlieward7606]

bad luck man, you can do it in 2 weeks! be tight as a first time but you can do it, dont be driving it around tho

[@Zachhidden]

Factory head gasket isn't bad, cosmic racing gasket is probably more suitable but long term oem may be the way to go with that perspective, the head might be worth changing valve seals and head surfacing. Sweet e36 it's setup really nice

[@DuelistMandroid]

Perfect excuse to rebuild the engine stronger! Keep up the good work!

[@kennethsnyder6955]

I'm with you man. Been down since October. I know the feeling. You'll be back. That's what it is. Hey you turboed it. Still on my bucket list. This time you can build it back better!!

[@DomsE36Garage]

Don't stress mate, i've been off boost for 11 months now since I blew my turbo. If you can beat that, you're doing well :) Bounce back and pump up the boost haha

[@DIY-Mark-3]

Dang bro that suck to hear the gasket popped. You got some good times out of and unopened engine. I would definitely park the car until its fixed. If you got white smoke that means its burning coolant and will mess up your wideband and o2 sensors. And the more damaged the gasket become the more likely coolant can end up at the to of your piston leading to a bent rod. Lastly you should avoid coolant in engine oil contamination. Coolant in oil is just all around a bad deal leaning to oil pump failure, rotation assembly failure and or turbos failure.

[@sweetcarbro]

Daaaang, I felt that tho. Had same thing happen on mine on way from work, did some pulls nd when I got off hwy it was shuddering, white smoke, and died!

[@woodbronks]

Get a cometic gasket mls type. It’s what I run doing very well run 20psi all year so far been good fingers crossed cheers

[@247Kitchens]

That sucks. A Polish company does a turbo kit for E36's K64 Performance which comes with a replacement head gasket (it's the kit I'm hoping to put on my 328i) maybe have a look at this for your replacement? Good luck, been loving watching Ebony come along, inspired me on my project.

[@JayWilliams0723]

Bro I hope You find out what the issue is and it’s finally fixed big up to you and this platform.

[@matthewmeade3932]

Run a cut-ring and spacer for pump gas or just a cut-ring for e85

[@noodytuned]

Run a decompression plate with the stock headgasket. Works like a charm!

[@ElvisE46]

how much power can that setup hold? debating taking off the head on my e46

[@noodytuned]

@@ElvisE46 On my M50 block I ran 1.8 bar boost with the decomp plate and arp studs. No lifting or leaks. Just make sure you block is straight and your head is skimmed. Not sure if it is the same reliability for aluminum blocks since the threads always pull out.

[@yousifismael9756]

you should run ces spacer and a cut ring gasket that should hold up for a good chunk time

[@Mrgrimsrealmoftheunseen]

I was hearing that there’s a head gasket for the ls that’s for boosted applications definitely putting it in mine

[@Aston6Speed]

I have been worried about my head gasket lately, because I had some weird misfires and white smoke coming out and I was going to ask you about yours. I am sorry to hear about this. I hope you can get her buttoned up and squared away soon!

[@Ayixlia]

Great now you can use a upgraded copper head gasket and replace some seals while you're at it to prevent future maintenances

[@EstorilE36M345]

Don’t keep driving it though. Don’t want spun bearings or bent rods from water in motor. Bummer

[@greatonest.vgreatonest.v8193]

Dam bro loving the e36. One of my dream cars. And your gave me a great out look. Yours is 🔥🔥. Sorry for what happen your e36 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Dildology]

Copper or stainless O ring the block. You have the option of just having the grove in the block only. No need to machine the head every time it’s off.

[@Arceus375]

Definitely would get your head checked to make sure it's not cracked. Mine cracked while it was N/A and the gasket was good

[@Natesgunstuff]

Have you looked into a head gasket spacer? That should help being on pump gas

[@claytonoldzkool2604]

Yea I have the same setup on my e36 man, multi layer steel (mls) head gasket is the go for a more permanent solution. You should get your head skimmed at a machine shop for reliability… don’t wana do all that work for nothin…

[@180Lev]

Sorry to hear. Hopefully you get some direction. Maybe borrow you drift car motor to atleast keep it running.

[@chris-graham]

I feel like you'd be way less worried about over boosting if you used a boost controller. Might be a nice quality of life upgrade than messing with springs

[@andrewurmetz9165]

Dude I live right next to that Publix man hit me up if you need anything

[@volvtech7773]

Since the day I installed a vent to atmosphere catch can every time I drain it it's milky but my dipstick, my oil cap and my coolant bottle have never had a sign of mixture milk.

[@itsBlack]

That's what I've been reading too but next video still showed headgasket unfortunately 😅

[@volvtech7773]

@@itsBlack yea first video I've seen of your's. Subscribed for updates

[@boostedoctane8041]

I did MLS on mine a few days ago.

[@kylehiggins5543]

Rip. But time for a .140mls or cutring with a spacer HG and more boost/power 😃

[@drewdavis239]

Broken ringland is my guess. Hope your head did not crack ... GO CUT RING. FROM EXPERIENCE. Ive run mls, stock, cut ring, and o ring elring . Cut ring or o ring for sure. Also. Buy cheap rods and pistons if your worried. Buy once cry once.

[@sbtoonz1358]

when this happened to my car cyl 4 and 5 studs were around 3lbs looser torque than the others, I reset the torque on my ARP's and it quit happening

[@louisdoughty1673]

Ahh nooo... time for a full build?

[@patrykzmuda674]

M50 is a unkillable engine in my opinion it is really well made engine i like more the M52 on casted block(rare) cuz it has knock sensor right away which is usefull to have

[@iTz13x]

Did you recheck the torque maybe you lifted the head some?

[@itsBlack]

I did actually when I changed the valve cover recently

[@tommylam3074]

That’s more content!!! You’ll build a better one

[@rahdigga6031]

Good luck

[@thebestworstdriver8693]

Pretty much garunteed your head is cracked. Most likely from valve seat to spark plug whole in one cylinder. I've cracked 3 heads on my turbo M. Get yourself a head get it cut and run a cutring gasket from Athena and arp head studs torque to 90ftlbs 1 heat cycle then cold retorque to 95 ftlbs.

[@TheDdahc]

Go again, chalk it to the game

[@grvyrdgang5672]

This is your sign to add a decompression gasket and run more boost

[@edwardmale9941]

Doing a head gasket isn't the biggest deal in the world. What really sucks is you had that motor out not that long ago. Cutring head gasket is the way to go.

[@briankennedy6693]

Damn your catch can looks like how I order my coffee 😂🙃 sorry my dude

[@itsBlack]

😂😂

[@disfordrift9593]

Brah just get rods and Pistons. They have a kit you can get for 900 bucks. Keep the stock head

[@lotmeet9382]

RIP Headgasket...

[@yasinthephotographer5508]

I think ebony is begging for an s54 swap lmao. Just saw the gimmie dem keys video of the s54 e36 shit pulls hahaha

[@E36_kidd]

Please don’t do another stock head gasket get a cut ring or mls .140 head gasket. The stock hg blows out really easy.

[@Rollingzoku89]

Noooooo broooo!!

[@versitile360]

Swap Depo has a great video too kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGSqiWV8lNyEbbM for head gasket fix

[@eprohoda]

How u doing?!interesting uploading,😮

[@chideverett9580]

I would imagine overheating it a bunch blew it not the head gasket causing the overheating

[@itsBlack]

I always stopped it before it got red but it could still be the culprit

[@greasemotorsport3926]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@EstorilE36M345]

Oof. Sorry man

[@backwoodsbimmers7778]

I felt horrible liking the video but I know the likes help sorry bout the engine bud 😣

[@ANDERZENAMG]

Just found your channel, tough hit to take on any car but time to build it back better right? I have a channel focused on modifying my older mercedes/amg's if you want to check it out. Sub'd to your channel to follow the continued journey and look back at your other content. Good luck! These motors are incredibly capable for what they are!

[@turbokid4]

Arp2000 and cut ring head gasket. Anything over 800hp. Arp625 Your welcome. Don’t waste your time on stock head gasket. Not even MLS.

[@lowbudgetbuilds5789]

I have a 2.8 from a 98 and a lot of other parts for sale if you’re looking send me a way to contact if interested

[@e60_guy40]

I blew my gasket literally after rebuilt

Don't drive it any more your going to put a hole in a piston

[@Eman7335]

Noooooooo

[@jamesguirand8243]

What

[@ladin425]

swap in a good engine and baby it until you get this one professionally built. Slapping a new head gasket and surfacing the head is rolling the dice at this point.
