Thanks

Thank you !

I know he is .... Thanks

Thanks ! I hope you enjoy the current and future videos 👍

Thank you so much!!

Thank you ! The next vids shouldn't take as long

Thanks and Welcome aboard!

Thanks ! Yes that is the most important part of the build in my opinion

Thank you - I’m glad you like it

You'll put a lot of time into it but its well worth it - Do the job right and you'll have a great car for years to come

Thanks - the next vids should not take as long

The engine coolant is there for that reason. Sleeving the block with iron is a win-win - it gets stronger and holds much more boost without risking damages to cylinder walls

Hi, yes it took a while but I'm back 😝 The next vids shouldn't take as long

Thanks

Opa, sou sim 👍 Valeu brother !

🤣 part 1 is the crankshaft assembly - please give me a week

Apologies it took soo long

@@dnl35projects it’s okay I know stuff take time I appreciate all the information. 🙏

Hi, yes I was shaking after watching his video because I had just picked up my block from the machine shop a day earlier and that was the first S63 I had sleeved (about 2 years ago) He posted an update video after a few weeks and the machine shop did not hone the sleeves properly causing his engine to seize. I have about 15k kms put on my X5M since the build and it’s going strong. With the stock pistons I’d recommend using about .04 clearance and get them thermal / teflon coated specially if you’re re-using the pistons - you also need different rings (not the OEM BMW) to use with the cast iron sleeves

@@dnl35projects damn, glad It worked out for you and looking forward to this build. N63/S63 content is rare so thank you for documenting your work.

Valew brother !

Yes, they definitely heat more than the aluminium block and that’s why we have to use increased clearances however they are much stronger and basically the most viable option (financially) for the S63

Thats not really how it works, getting an oversized or undersized bearing has nothing to do with oil clearances at all - An oversized bearing is to be used when your rod big end is too big and an undersized bearing is to be used when your crank has been machined dow (material taken from it) - A few companies offer "extra clearance bearings" but hat has nothing to do with them being under or over sized.

Hi, I run 5w40 Full synthetic oil in this engines

No, they just ground it to spec keeping in mind the new bearing clearances

Hi, that varies a lot depending on how bad your engine is (if its bad at all) For a good running S63 (not seized or knocking) you are looking at around USD$4k in parts plus labour which should be another $5k as well. If your engine is seized like this one in the video and you have to add pistons, rods, crank and machine shop costs it can easily get past the $15k mark

@@dnl35projects Thanks. But those costs really make the core exchange from BMW US for $6k far more attractive than attempting a rebuilt, no offence!

On a stock block I’d use around .3 for the first ring and 0.4mm for the second ring

@@dnl35projects Thank you very much for your reply 🙏, just waiting for the cranckshaft from kingtech then I will put it all together!

Awesome ! I was keen on getting a crankshaft from them as well ... let me know how your build goes - Cheers

Hi, unfortunately we had a few fitment issues and they are working to produce new parts within the correct specification - I should have an update video once the engine is running.

You are mildly right but technically WRONG ! Yes they manufacture oversized bearings however they are for different applications and have material added to the EXTERNAL side of the bearing which is the opposite to what we are discussing in this video and have nothing to do with grinding the crankshaft. Check ACL's latest catalog and don't rely on what eBay sellers claim.

​@@dnl35projects was over at the forums and you are correct they are undersized bearings, lang racing does this job and says it increases surface area by 15%, wider than the S63 stock bearing but also slightly smaller in diameter. They take damaged crank journals and have them re-ground to accept the wider bearing. is this the same job you have done here? you can google it by searching - S63 Rod Bearing Journal Widening Kit Including Crankshaft Journal Modification. Its by lang racing... wondering if this is exactly what you have done here in this job aside from the sleeved block which is awesome if done correctly. Love the videos man, been watching the whole series since last year and still am! The mileage on my s63 M6 Gran Coupe is 53k miles so im thinking of doing the Rod bearing job real soon.

No we didn’t increase the journal sizes. A few companies have come up with solutions for problems that would not exist if the oil changes are done more frequently and this is what I’d stick with. I’m glad you like the videos, thanks

Hi, I get them sleeved through a friend who owns a machine shop / engine rebuild business in Sydney for over 30 years - I asked to share their details on my videos but they refused saying they cannot take any more work from outside

@@dnl35projects they arent in Artarmon are they?

No but I heard the guys in Artarmon are good as well since they do many of the modern Porsche engines.

Thank you !
