S62 M5 V8 Engine with 392,000 Miles Full Teardown

[@Zerbey]

As someone who knows very little about engines I really appreciate that you took the time to explain every step.

[@GAMRMNTS2]

But the government has not yet decided whether

[@christophertice7664]

Some of your info on the block is slightly incorrect; the bores are in fact not coated or plated at all. The block is cast from Alusil which is an aluminum silicon alloy and is compleatly linerless. They can definitely be re-machined and overbored but a specialized honing process must be used to expose the silicon crystals on the surface.

[@tyspeed24]

Yes, You are right- its hard to speak on the cuff , with no script!! This is our first video like this and I will make improvements going forward to be more specifically correct with the information we are providing within the video. I hope you found the video/editing to be somewhat entertaining despite this factual inconsistency! And yes- while we can do rehone this- we are electing to have VAC sleeve it! Thanks for commenting.

@@tyspeed24 just need to get that camera focusing correctly...its jumping alot between face and far our background. Shouldn't be doing that if its on facial. Or the camera man must just pay attention to the focus Zebras.

[@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX]

@@VegManLife No he is not. Any machine shop can properly re-produce the alusil surface with a special compound, special hone, and a surface profilometer. You can literally find the whole tech briefing PDF from the company who invented AluSil. It outlines the exact process. There is no special trick or mystery, and everyone claims “their guy” is the only one who can do it. I’ve personally spoken to 5 or 6 shops here in the west that said they’d do it no problem. Due to the cost, extra steps, and how rarely the process is needed, most shops still recommend iron sleeving or nickel plating the cylinders, as it’s easier and lasts longer. It’s not that it can’t be done or that it’s hard to refinish an alusil block, it just makes no practical sense to do so.

[@obioban]

Yes. This is the correct way. Boring and sleeving is a hack that’ll create issues down the road.

[@user-kx8pl2xm9j]

From a person with no interest in rebuilding an S62, I watched the entire video. Great content. Great narration. Awesome to see your work being done in this throw away society.

I just bought a 200,000 mile 535i wagon that is in fantastic condition. A lot of the service records were from Tyspeed. Now I understand why it is in such great shape for 200K! Keep it up guys!

[@mustafasalemi3334]

Im a laymen but m539 restoration had issues with a sleeve in a alpina v8. Machining might not have been great but realized there was design flaws with alpina aluminum pistons expanding at different rates than factory block which makes them all eventually wear out prematurely. The iron sleeves just accelerated the flaw x1000 faster iirk

[@Gapson76]

Didnt Sreten have a bad slevejob. When he went to a specialist to check the bore i think taht the cylinders were warped a little. Afaik you can sleve the block it just has to ve done correctly

[@TBasianeyes]

and why would you use original pistons in a sleeved block? pretty much everyone is using cp carillo forged pistons

[@awesomez9385]

Wow I just subbed… this channel is what we needed all this time

[@PowerslideSWE]

Chain guide tentioner failing does happen, I agree, it's not that common on a well serviced engine however. Changed my rod bearings and the full timing chain/guide kit on mine, not a 392000 mile engine tho, somehever close to half that milage and the guides did not have a singel piece missing and basically no wear on them, what so ever nor were they fragile. Rod bearings according to the engine builder was good for the same milage again. Taken care of and driven carefully when cold theses are sturdy engines. Great video however, very informative.

[@Boz196]

Bought an e39 535 about a month ago. I absolutely adore the car but I’m currently getting it serviced and it’s gonna cost me about 2k to get it perfect. Not to mention I’ll eventually have to do the vanos rebuild and timing chain guides. I got the car for cheap though so the maintenance is no problem for me plus the car is just an absolute dream to drive so well worth it.

[@travisspencer8054]

Be careful with the sleeves. They will not dissipate heat very well. The original block can be re-machined however there is a special process to re-expose the crystals in order for proper oiling. Talk to partee racing, they do it often.

[@tyspeed24]

I know David, and will certainly get his .02C . We've used VAC before in a few instances for rebuilds like this and have had success; If you have more information you'd care to share I am all ears. Id be interested to know if you have specific instances of failure I should be aware of , etc. Thank you!

[@ilfordino-fordfiestatutori8725]

M539 Restorations did the same thing on Alpina block and blew up shortly after. Very courious about the sleeve, definitely subscribed

[@nvcnc]

@@ilfordino-fordfiestatutori8725 I think the main issue was a machining error where the cylinder walls were out of spec

[@lincolnM5]

​@@tyspeed24I have a block with iron sleeves made for a compressor. It has been driving for almost 6 years without any problems, but you need to be aware that iron releases heat slower - avoid constant heavy load.

[@georgeelliott7910]

Nice R/C planes !

[@cybercityoedo808]

Wonderful video, incredible detail and narration. I'd love to see a high mileage S65 teardown next!

[@tyspeed24]

I actually have one that has low compression, we plan to do next !

[@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX]

It’ll just have scored cylinders, and then it will be junk or it will need sleeves. That’s how just about every S65 goes these days, if the rod-bearings or main bearings don’t get it first.

[@Nlav26]

Great video Ty. Informative, interesting, and well edited. I love stuff like this. This is TV quality.

[@JaimeMacDonald]

Awesome video, love to see more high milage S62s. Any ballpark on what a full teardown and rebuild would cost? *stares at 314000km S62*

[@ryanrobinson2401]

I am interested in a ballpark number as well.

[@Nikwalenda]

[@moilanea]

Me too! 317000km and running

[@WarriorsPhoto]

No one should be surprised. If it's well maintained. Any engine will last. 😊

[@greebj]

I was with you til "Any engine". Nope. Nopety nopey no. All the maintenance in the world cannot fix bad design or insufficient part longevity. Recalls are proof of design fails. Sometimes failures are predictable (e.g. wet timing belt on the small ecoboosts), sometimes they take time to manifest (the Nikasil debacle in the 90s due to high sulfur fuels). Sometimes the manufacturer specified service schedule is garbage, such as post-2000 BMWs and their 15,000 mile oil changes, which those of us with a brain knew was retarded from day 1, but there's still those out there who defend it as if BMW always knows best... but the correlation for oil related issues like bearing wear, valve stem seals, chain stretch, solenoid, tensioner and turbo failures in those cars proves otherwise, and they will say "I maintained my engine" even as it fails at 100k miles

[@xhf8yxhf8y9]

As a BMW specialist, surprised you don't know how to recondition a Alusil block. Sleeves for these S62 blocks are in general not a good idea. PS: if you have the head or block deck machined, be sure to have the timing chain covers (all 3parts as appropriate) or you will need a thicker head gasket to make up the material removed.

[@tyspeed24]

Hey, Thank you. Yes for sure, we are using the additional thickness gaskets for this as yes, both the block and heads are being machined! Separately, while I have heard many things about the sleeving, I have yet to experience a real world example myself. I'd be curious to know, (and please feel free to share here!) Specific ways that you have experienced failure of sleeved or remachined blocks . This video was made educationally- and I certainly do not claim to know EVERYTHING out there. How many even good BMW techs often tear down an S62 with 390K Miles in their career? Certainly an outlier of a scenario. Please feel free to share any relevant info and If I can, I will include in the next video. Thank you !

[@stefanczechorskidds8435]

@@tyspeed24 Take a look at M539 Restorations here on YT ; Take a look at the Alpina restoration (early engine rebuild with re-sleeved engine); now, to be fair , it looks like the machine shop he selected was not competent and the engine soon failed (piston slap in under 100miles)! Evidently, setting up the bore tolerances is quite challenging (?????). At the very least, when you get the block back, be sure to check the cylinder bore specs/tolerances, two or three times!! As you will see in his video(s), he did not check and the follow up video with another machinist showed tolerances way, way to tight. I think it would be worth your time to get in touch with Srenten (check spelling) and have a chat ; he has many European friends who are well aware of the problem and have a work around as well (also shown in the second engine rebuild video).

[@trialerror7867]

Wow inside the engine has burn color, what engine oil they used ?

[@greggray6839]

I enjoyed the video and gave you a thumbs up, I would say that bore material looks like Alusil to me, it is machinable but only by specialists, the issue is that the pistons require a special coating to run in that bore are often unavailable or very very expensive and not necessarily that good for performance. I agree you cannot machine the Nicasil bores but only deglazing is possible however you can send them out to various coating places like Milenium Technologies. I’m with you that the sleeves should offer the best long term solution.

Were the chains and guides on this engine original? Maybe it was said and i missed it but if they were that’s crazy.

Very satisfying teardown! Amazing to see forged pistons last this long. When you rebuild, will you go to 2618 or 4032 alloy? Looks like most people like 2618, if you go this way how much life do you expect out of them? I also enjoyed seeing your RC airplane collection the background.

Can you ask if the owner might comment on his maintenance details?

[@thorvelasco1467]

Thanks for the upload. Questions: Does machining the head and block surface change the distance between the crank and the cam? Will it effect timing? Is there a way to compensate for that?

[@CrazyCat229]

The way you compensate for that head gasket thickness. You can also change the depth of the Combustion chamber part of the head etc. They are only taking off millimeters. Which is why some heads and blocks can not be decked. There are wear indicators on the head and block that can be indicators of it having been decked before.
