No thanks.

[@mercedes_and_more]

12 mins of watching someone who knows exactly what they are doing - brilliant. 👍👍👍

[@chrisenright7003]

Tragic to watch all this build without lubricants being used.

[@darylmorse]

These guys don't have a clue what they are doing. I wonder if the engine is still running. The only think I can say about your comment is that if you think they know what they are doing, you have never built an engine.

[@mercedes_and_more]

@@darylmorse you are correct; I have never rebuilt an engine.

[@zenith8868]

This is literally a scarce skill, wish there were more people like you

[@jdamore44]

This is epic. I'll eventually have to rebuild mine someday. I can wrench, but I've never opened up an engine. Well done sir.

[@cafelisto01]

Man! You guys make everything look so easy, done step-by-step procedure. Love your works.

[@forevered4270]

Great video lads,really intresting.hope the next parts as good 👍

[@abumannocchi]

Now I know I can do it if I see it

[@kartechautomobileengineeri7240]

Hello

[@hackengineering5586]

Glad you put the exhaust cam in the right way up in the end…

[@johngrant8533]

That was therapeutic to watch. Made it look so easy

[@DSM2009]

Guys doing a great job putting that engine back like new 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@mrngallopp3598]

Really nice editing on this one, love the content, thank you for your time and have a good 22.

[@mikemcmillan5482]

You guys a legit. Thanks for not having annoying music

[@martinhazel7549]

Awesome video. Can't wait to hear this run again.

[@claireparkinson2044]

Spot on lads can't wait to see it running 👍

[@therealaa24]

Happy new year guys! 🥳 Good to see you back, looking forward to your content in 2022!

[@PerformanceRebuilds]

Happy new year!!

[@aygwm]

Wow manually cleaning parts like that, respect.

[@benjaminjackson9753]

That was very satisfying to watch. Very professional!

[@nickrendell4300]

Find it fascinating an engine rebuild, great work.

[@lovelakland]

The work input is great. But one of the best things about this video is the choice of music that accompanies it all. I'm here at 11:31 p.m. watching this, sitting outside to cool off from the heat inside the house. The moon is full and the music is smooth and chill and creates a nice balance of relaxation, nostalgia and automotive education. I hope you continue to make great musical selections to accompanies your future project videos. Great job Sir. You and your team did well.

[@fstlnj29]

Did you reuse the pistons? Put back in the same cylinder they came out of? How did you check the cylinders for wear? Enjoyed the video!

[@darylmorse]

They obviously didn't check the cylinders for wear. There is no way the rings will seal with the cylinders in this condition. The DIY hone cannot give a proper 45 degree crosshatch.

[@daquarius1222]

@@darylmorse also, they used scothsbright on the crank bearing caps 😳😳!!

[@SaqibKhaliq]

I love the care you took to put this together. To clean everything, and paint items whilst off. And you replaced all the sensible precautionary items. Top work, this car will be great 👍🏽 Please fit a carbon fibre rocker cover and air box, it would set the engine bay off nicely 🙏🏽

[@ftboomer1]

I've got a power stroke 6.0 on the stand now. Protip: 2 dudes ain't picking that block up! Sweet video.

[@jayacourt8282]

Boys you’ve put out some sick videos but this is another level, love this 👌🏻

[@TNSAOD]

BMW designed some amazing machines, and you guys have mastered them well done.

[@psiturbo]

Sadly, designED sounds about right.

Legends. You lads smash it every time.

[@Braveheart7914-idfl]

Been looking forwards to this guys !!!!!! 👍🏻

[@anthonyfernwood8093]

Your very clever guys, love watching your video, your attention to detail is amazing, will follow you till the end.

Fantastic work gents 😍well done 👍🏽and keep the great work up 🙏🏽

[@uknomad1308]

Man love watching you guys working! Wish you was local

[@simontompkins3300]

Amazing fellas you truly are very skilled, I do love watching your vids.

[@MrNwapp]

Engine rebuild looks ace lads, top work as usual!👍

[@MrDahl-kj5qm]

Inspiring! Time to start on my m10...

[@ASH1QSHAH]

Im sure that block is aleusol, meaning alloy and silicone. And you cant just hone it like a normal block, as the silicone particles will just melt, and you run the risk of damage. But i may be wrong

[@darylmorse]

It's a cast iron block.

[@ASH1QSHAH]

@@darylmorse Yes indeed it is, if it was the other material, then it would have required a specialist to hone the bores

[@levyem5274]

First time here,love the wall art in the garage💯🔥

[@silvermane9370]

Team genius at work! It’s looking phenomenal chaps. I’m continually impressed by your skills. Props to the Scarlet Pimpernel of panel beating btw.

[@kartechautomobileengineeri7240]

Hello

[@TheJoesmoe1987]

Great work by the way therapeutic to watch 👍

[@fredrictorstensson8904]

You really are skilled! Very interesting to see.

[@signaturefinish5484]

Watching you guys inspire me a lot ..thank you for making these videos

[@Smokeblow]

Satisfying asf 😍😍😍😍🤤

[@alexandranisimov6023]

Классную работу проделали ребята, респект вам!

[@lrob2088]

Outstanding lads, keep up the good work

[@SM_TheTraveller]

What a great video . Proper grafters

[@rickychopper]

Great work and great editing.

[@samadwork1598]

It was surprisingly very entertaining to watch and music was spot on. You can voice over the parts you want to explain, it would make the video seamless.

[@smallmick6586]

Love this type of content lads can't wait for the next installment ..👌

[@hcarcentroautomotivo9818]

Welcome tô Brasil Mans....vocês são os originais 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Nerojan]

Zee is one talented guy 🔥

[@albionbathcompany]

nice work guys

[@MegaReddevil71]

Only thing I would have different is to have the block and head faces a very light skim to make sure they are perfect didn't see u use any oil on the bores before pistons were fitted or on the crank bearings

[@tna--]

BIG JOB 👍 great rebuild 👍

[@bryanduncan1640]

As I said in your other video, did I imagine it or did you just put the used pistons from one engine into the block from another engine with only honing to help the transition?

[@JalandarBrothers]

Wow! Fair play lads!!!

[@Ajay-bs4yz]

Awesome video guys….Keep up the good work..

[@RaymondStarr007]

Wow Zee that’s amazing

[@AdeReeves]

Nice work.

[@andries514]

Awsome video! But in rebuilding a engine goes a lot more i think? Like measuring tolerances etc. ?

[@Smokeblow]

Smashed it boys 💥💯

[@sachak]

I can't tell and I did look and then googled, but did you use the old rod bearings? or are those upgrades? They look used...Might just be the design if they are upgrades?

[@PerformanceRebuilds]

We bought new rod bearings.

[@cmac5110]

Well done lads 👍

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Not sure if you know the rods are cracked so each rod should be put with the same half I was taken off from. If that makes sense bro. If not they won’t seat properly.. google it if you don’t know what I’m talking about. But I’m sure you guys already know. And engine is looking fresh top work as always.

[@PerformanceRebuilds]

Each conrod joint is specific to where it goes so when we removed them we kept them together in order to avoid confusion.

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

@@PerformanceRebuilds I thought so guys I knew you would have done it right, just thought 💭 I’d ask

[@tiagovicente6152]

They are numbered either way :) U can always find it

[@hemalmehta873]

If Rebuilding is possible, then it's better than buying new. Also from saving nature's point of view... Building a new electric car consumes lot of nature's resources compared to rebuilding a car which is much better. But companies market their product in such a way that it won't allow you look at alternative/ better options.

[@matthewnicholas6365]

I get the water test to check for leaks, but would that test not fail to replicate the 180 psi when the compression cycle is in process?

[@rathion2853]

Technically l, the cylinder pressure would seat the valves even better. If they seal at atmospheric pressure (+ gravity) they’re gonna seal at 180 psi holding them closed.

[@Gamer84211]

Great work and great video 👍

[@checkmatenate]

Very nice 👍🏼

[@bertopereira1625]

Fantastic work 🇵🇹👍

[@lukathegarlic]

When mounting valve stem seals, you should use a "condom" on the valve stem. Otherwise the recesses for keepers on the stem can damage the seal and cause premature wear. In this case, you pre-mounted seals and pushed the valve into them, which results with the same potential problem.

[@MultiAna96]

Well done boys 👌🏼

[@UC559]

very nicee

[@brun_s]

😮 brilliant this!

[@linombablu2715]

Mind blowing

[@remembergodisalwayswithyou6862]

Have a lovely day bro from Morocco ❤ nice job 🏁

[@G4RY1159]

Sweet upload that is

[@grosartigemechaniker1968]

Super!

[@moneyfueled1056]

You are good with fastening nuts and bolts in a correct way. But you didn’t put attention to details, you can’t surface engine blocks like that, you can’t hone cylinders like that, nor cleaning piston using scotch brite… this engine is meant to die soon

[@douglaslailson7099]

Isso sim e um preparador !

With what kind of stuff were you cleaning the rods and camshaft brackets?

[@Cky100plus]

The head gasket not need any sealant?Just asking for sure. Btw good job my man 👍🏼

[@arbazsak2282]

I liked your work bro I appreciate you

[@dannyauto5901]

impressive lads😁🤘👌

[@jonclarke9929]

Did you guys really not use any measuring devices, Micrometer, caliper, or even a Plasti-gauge? Or did you just not show it?

[@tiagovicente6152]

Very good video, however, a little bit more of attention to detail/cleaning should have been used with such engine, and I wouldn’t thrust non oem headgasket. Very good either way!

[@antanasrapkevicius3897]

dude, they re-used big end and main bearing cap bolts lmao. That sais inuf. Pakistani style "rebuild"...

[@tiagovicente6152]

@@antanasrapkevicius3897 big end is fine, rods not so much as they stretch

[@jamsil_ghost]

respect bro!

[@UndeadCrook]

Should have cleaned up the cams as well, also If I am not wrong you have to put the timing cover before you torque the head bolts, so the headgasket sits correctly on it instead of pushing it forward like you did.

[@tiagovicente6152]

Correct!

[@frankyates7910]

good job.

[@SvN8SiX]

Do you guys ever do customer cars? Got a E46 engine that needs looking into.

[@PerformanceRebuilds]

Only work on our own cars atm maybe in the future we will do customer cars as well.

[@sammarley347]

How do you come up with your ideas for youtube!!!

[@The_journeyy]

Good question 👏

Top work lads! Keep it up! 🔝
