What is Damaged? My M2 Rebuild Stage One | 4k

[@JoeAchilles1]

Massive thanks to Russ, Tim and Swift Performance - instagram.com/swift.performance/

[@khymia27]

End of applause for these guys!!

[@bobdidit55]

In a situation like this get more ads on your videos. I’m sure no one would mind. More likely to feel like we are helping out 😂.

[@heelandtoe_]

I can only feel your pain mate, having gone through a full engine failure on my S54. But seems like the damage may not be catastrophic, and you're in the right hands! 🏁

[@CarMadDad]

Just when I think your content can’t level up Joe - you go an bang out a video like this. Genuine / honest / all out content - informative and insightful Great to see some progress for you 👍 Onward and upward chappy

[@mochox]

We feel ur pain, Joe! Almost had a sigh of relief until u came to cylinder 3..hope the resultant damage is not going to be too painful. We need Russ & Tim as a regular feature please...that was a great ummm..."entrance" 😂

[@davetreanor5303]

Great content. I hope all the sponsors revenue far outweigh the repair bill as like myself any S55 owner will be fascinated by this series

[@ekpf]

the e39 M5 in the back 😍

[@m3mattywebb]

Thank you! It's mine. I love it

[@yiannipalassis4243]

What a brilliant video Joe. I mean can’t wait for the next episode and I’m so happy you kept it in-depth and didn’t trim it down. This is fascinating to watch really is thank you. At the same time I hope it’s not an expensive repair in the end. The Swift Performance boys are epic too.

[@miksiggins1522]

That was thoroughly interesting. I’ve known the theory on that but actually watching the process was great

[@thecarguy82]

Thanks for showing the process and I'm glad the M2 is alright!

[@jm9371]

Fascinating trouble shooting with a top notch team... Fun to watch!

[@jameskingston]

Sucks that the M2 needs some surgery 😩 but this is gonna be a great series of videos to watch!

[@phillipchandler8862]

Nicely thought through detailed checks. Can feel a new set of pistons and conrods coming on if no damage to crank. If Joe gets away with that it will be a good result. Fingers crossed.

[@derickmatikiti9160]

wow,, what a vibe, working with you guys must be fun

[@robj3857]

You have been busy, you were in front of me in the entrance queue at Le Mans at the weekend. Hope you had a great time.

[@tyrereviews]

If you've got away with just a few bent valves that will be quite the result! FIngers crossed (so I can finally drive it)

[@davetreanor5303]

I had mine done two weeks ago and has allowed me to tune to Stage 2 with confidence and aggressively down shift with no worries.

[@FlyasaDiamond]

I’ve been waiting for this video eagerly for 2 weeks as an M2 Comp owner. Best of luck.

[@davidmoore6172]

Was kinda dreading this update Joe owning an M2C myself so wanted a fairytail ending. But could be loads worse and its great hands there. Like they said everything is repairable. 👍

[@barfmeister8509]

Oh, Russ looked soooo proud in dropping that bombshell at the end😂

[@claytonhenry5827]

From the testimonies I’ve read, most people come away lucky with crank hub slippage. It’s rare that it actually ruins the engine. That being said, I’ll be getting a crank hub kit installed as soon as I pay off my M3.

[@Nyx_88888]

this isn't about crank hub slippage its about using a low gear while going too fast and mechanically over revving the engine floating the valves etc, the hub slippage just adds to the issues but its from user error

[@garyf9897]

Thanks for sharing… what a great bunch of talented guys. Fingers crossed bro!

[@Lifeseasy-z1c]

Gutted for you mate I’ve got my 135i having over heating issues it’s just the nature of the beast

[@TheStevo1973]

Most people know if you tune a S55 engine you must pin the crank hub.

[@srodigital]

Looking forward to the next couple of videos Joe. I hope your 'luck' with the engine so far holds out for the rest of the investigation, and the valve issue isn't too much of a biggie. Take care.

[@1ongava]

Sweetcorn line did it for me!! 🤣🤣

[@Eddison548]

Owning a BMW gave me sleepless nights and empty pockets. My mechanic had warned me. I didn’t listen. Nightmare over I’m now with my preferred brand. Great video joe….you must be minted.

[@porscheguy5848]

Love this series

[@simonscott2916]

Good informative content. I really enjoyed watching that.

[@JordieMotive]

Great content Joe, sorry to see what happened to this lovely M2 in the last video. I appreciate how in depth you went, very fascinating haha

[@CarObsession]

Interesting video Joe!

[@leobats14]

Fantastic video. can't wait to see the next instalment.

[@tfunkhou88]

One of your most interesting videos 👍

[@bogdanobogeanu5758]

Good luck Joe with the car 😊

[@marlborom2c829]

Im sorry Joe. I can feel your pain. I know how stressful it is, having lost an M2C with engine failure myself. I sure hope you can fix or recover your loss. All things considered, would you consider investing in a crankhub upgrade or remain stock in hindsight. Your opinion is golden.

[@adrianadrianp5305]

The last time I buzzed a car, an M5, it was a lot more expensive , I rod let go and managed to get find a way out through the side of the block ! You are definitely having a grid day, loos like hopefully juts a top end rebuild and a few new valves ?

[@robreeves9825]

Glad to see it's not too bad Joe. Looking forward to seeing it back on the road again soon!

[@chrisd2415]

Good video! When you have it rebuilt for the love of god get a full pinned crank hub fix, don’t even bother with a capture plate, I think by the nature of your mis shift you were lucky as it completely spun the CH so it was free to spin, if you’d spun it on a normal down shift you’d be looking at a complete rebuild now, pistons, head the lot. Insane crank hub fix is the way or Gintani, from a fellow 680bhp M4 and S55 owner. 👌🏽

[@AWCCarDetailing]

Great video Joe and great work by Swift

[@Yorksboy]

I'm not mechanically minded either Joe, but that was fascinating. I hope it's not too bad to fix. 👍

[@juliankent8875]

Fascinating video Joe. I'm gutted for you. I thought it was going to be a lucky escape 😢.

[@colinhardy7203]

Everything 🤞 Joe!

[@Aizman87]

Love this kind of content. I dont love what happened to the engine but very interesting to see the journey to get it fixed again😃

[@rebelranter]

Great video, nice to take something positive from the ordeal. Hopefully a cylinder 3 exhaust valve, piston and a set of rod bearings and you’re back in action.

[@Ratcher]

Sound almost easy, lol.

[@PeakPerformanceReviews]

Gutted this has happened bud, the money shift is always a simple mis-shift away in a manual. Never nice but I still love a manual car 🙌🔥✅ Hope you get this sorted soon bud. 😊

[@coldvaper]

Informative video can't wait for the next one.

[@Ireland103]

Love this content on the m2 repair.... Brilliant stuff...and hope we get more of the next steps....

[@steffydog]

Fascinating, thanks guys.

[@philedwards7174]

Great shame you've probably bent an exhaust valve. Fingers crossed the piston survived, not to mentio con rods. Due to your intended use I suggest a full strip down and full inspection. Look forward to next update.

[@adammorgan100]

Loved the video Joe. Sadly I've experienced a couple of engine failures in my time, but I can assure you when you are out the other end, it's an experience you can learn loads from and will no doubt develop your mechanical knowledge. Look forward to the next update!

[@johnshaw359]

Get one of those aluminium gate thingies fitted going forward, if possible.

[@diaben5003]

please, any more or new video of your m2 comp ? any news? new mods?

[@mattb4353]

So looking like bent exhaust valves on number 3. Lets home there's no major damge to the top of the piston. Get that crank hub mod done Joe when it's all done. Good luck mate.

[@Thisonegoestoeleven666]

I loved this. Satisfying my inner service engineer.

In Portugal we call that gear change a nice “prego”

[@vladislavdimitrov4646]

What it means?

[@rubbermoetroken]

Great Vid and welcome to the club. Didn't the guys check the flywheel indicator ? That is a more easy way of determining weather timing is off and how much it is off. Bummer, I was just lucky with ca 1.5degrees indicating (from calculations) that there could not have been any contact. Honestly cannot believe it is only one (with an engine running ca 100 revs per second at 6000rpm they should all be damaged/contacted). I would expect all valves to have touched, which is sad but great as well --> stage 3 engine with forged cross drilled crank, carillo rods, omega pistons and some oil gallery improvements -->8500rpm tralalala fuel to noise converter.

[@BasRikken]

THIS SHT was holding me from a M f series car, im very happy with my b58

[@MDrives]

Hope the car will be on the road soon 🤞

[@Cars10223]

Hey Joe, I've got an m135i, the crank hub spun last month - think work was done before I got it and the crank bolt wasn't tightened up properly and came loose. All my exhaust valves were bent but the top end has been rebuilt and is perfect now so hopefully similar for you as I feared it could've been much worse!

[@scottmuir2385]

Joe I was fully hoping that you had gotten away with it - lets just hope that the valves in cylinder 3 are the only issue! Thanks for jaking us on the jouney Mate - as a F82CP owner (with DCT hopefully?), super interested in this series. Question, whilst she is apart - going to do the crank hub?

[@TheDailyDriven]

Good to see some progress with the painful money shift. Hopefully the price tag isn't too costly.

[@adcampo7601]

I just had a similar issue with my F80 Comp 6 speed. Skipped 3 teeth. The dealer retimed it and torqued everything down at a cost of $4k. Supposedly, I have no permanent damage. Did you consider doing the full crank hub aftermarket repair? Sounds like you have a bent valve.

[@danielosborne3090]

Was it owt to do with that weird gearstick Joe? Not being used to it, longer etc?

[@kashv2500]

I know a few guys that have removed that style shifter from their e36/e46 as they found it more difficult when on it to shift

[@tiagom.2706]

Now I know about engine internals 😊

[@jeg569]

Wishing you the best of luck that the damage is limited to the exhaust valves on cylinder 3. Didnt read the comments before watching 🤞🏻

[@scottfromengland2303]

The issue i believe is when different stages are upgraded on the main board & the mechanical parts cant handle it.. lesson is dont upgrade as you dont need too 👍🏻 the 3ltr straight 6 is fast enough for the box standard parts right ?

[@Nyx_88888]

do whatever you want if you are going 100mph and engage 2nd gear you'll break it 100% of the time

[@itaybutavia1204]

You are a really lovely guy!

[@eclipsez0r]

Do new manuals like the g80 have any computer protection against money shifting?

[@lauriebrooking2429]

This car will have a locker to prevent/make it very difficult to mony shift, but that stupid aftermarket shifter probably renders it useless.

[@eclipsez0r]

@lauriebrooking2429 With auto rev matching enabled wonder what difference that would make? You could still put it in a lower gear and drop the clutch though

[@Nyx_88888]

its mechanical if you engage a low gear and it revs too high to will break something bc it spins too fast, crank hub spinning, no crank hub spinning it over revs the engine, its called a money shift and it is a risk with every manual, nothing electronic can stop this

[@Nyx_88888]

@@lauriebrooking2429 what is a "locker to prevent money shifting" this doesnt exist

@@Nyx_88888 Thought so

[@peterj5751]

Good news that you haven’t lunched the whole motor. Fingers crossed that the damage is no more than a bent valve or two. When it’s fixed, please just change that shifter. The shift gate looked far too compact so a mis-shift just had to happen at sometime.

[@IonicMAP]

This seems like a pretty strong endorsement for the stock BMW crank hub being a good design instead of a flaw that a lot of people seem to believe it is

[@noobslayer815]

[@cgkperformance]

@@Nyx_88888 good luck trying to money shift a dct... 😂

[@Nyx_88888]

@@cgkperformance true you cannot money shift a dct. It is more fool proof than a manual. the money shift and non keyed crank hub issues on s55 are different. in this case the money shift also caused the hub to shift some and disrupt the timing even more. if the over rev was only slight and the hub didn't shift it might not have caused the valve damage but anytime you go over the redline you can have valve float which is the same as timing being off, in this case you also had the hub throw off the timing so probably made it worse. the s55 non keyed hubs have no mechanical benefit and bmw def keyed the hubs on m3s before and after the f80. If you have a dct don't use the kickdown bc the suddwnt change in engine speed can make it shift. it is an overblown issue, if it makes you uneasy you can spend a fortune to put a keyed one in that cannot shift , no matter what it wasn't the fault of the hub in this case, it was the money shift over rev user error. People seem to think here the hub is the issue but people aren't that clever maybe idk. Lesson here is don't money shift and of course no on does this on purpose

[@cgkperformance]

I've had my car three years, and it's not just money shifts that spin the hub. Seen many failures from the friction washers failing. Tuned cars, stock cars. Either way it's a known issue with the platform..

[@Nyx_88888]

Yes of course most times the hub moves out of place is on dct cars which cannot be money shifted. This car was money shifted and also the hub shifted

[@01.k.p]

I've done this same process in my garage for my car! Mine was due to oil starvation. Locked the camshaft. Replaced them with schrick cams and Pure turbo while I was in there.

I know it sucks the hub has slipped.. but I’m surprised a bmw man like you would have gone with the tune knowing this is a common fault what needs doing.. this was a reason I was scared to tune my m4 😂

[@johndoe-mr8uq]

was it the tune or did he money shift into the wrong gear causing the crank hub to slip

[@Bm98-z4y]

@@johndoe-mr8uq the crank hub is secured by friction. So when to much power is applied it can’t handle the power, the crank hub fix you get a 2 or 4 pin fix which prevents the hub slip

[@NomadJRG]

Joe's issue is he money shifted. The crank hub could have been good for many more miles. If it had been pinned already the result would have been far worse than it slipping during the money shift. All the valves would likely have been destroyed. Having said that, while it's all apart it would be worth pinning it now, for peace of mind and just make sure not to money shift in the future!d

[@Bm98-z4y]

@@NomadJRG money shift?? Shifting gears is fine it’s when you put your foot down with more power than the crank hub can take hence why people do the pined hub

[@NomadJRG]

@BrendanC-ru9zi money shift is when you meant to go up a gear but end up shifting down. Joe's car is a manual and he was trying to go into 5th as he was at the max rpm for 4th but instead went into 3rd. This overreved the engine and caused the crankhub to spin and valve float. That's why his engine is broken. It's not the typical hard kickdown on a tuned car that spins the crankhub scenario here.
