Welcome to Episode 14 of Skelly's Garage!
This week, I'm clearing more of the engine viability checklist on the M54B30 I got for free to make my unicorn manual transmission 2006 BMW X5 3.0 back into the excellent daily driver that it was for so many years.
To do that, we finish stripping the block, take out the crankshaft, and do some thorough inspections of the rod and main bearings as well as the crankshaft journals themselves.
We’ve got a lot of pleasant and unexpected surprises - but this is Skelly’s Garage after all, so something will inevitably go wrong.
Follow along for this engine rebuild series, both here on KZfaq and on Instagram! And as always, please let me know what you think or if I missed something.
Also, I am sorry about the messy shop. I am running out of space so I’m in the process of reorganizing at the moment.
