It today's very long episode we fully refresh and bulletproof the E46 M3's brand new S54 that I bought for a great price up in Wisconsin. We tackle the Rod bearings, complete Vanos job, seals, and more. By the end of this video it will have gone from a bare block to a fully dressed, ready for install S54B32. This was a fun project and learning experience for sure!

Refreshing is a good title... Bullet proofing in my book is upgrading with processes such as Cryogenics, DLC thermal coatings and barriers etc..

@m3nameisjosh464 Ай бұрын

You are right, however I was looking to not spend more than the car was worth on the repairs

I think the fuss with the gears is that the bolts would back out and then the tabs would come out

Yes but none of the bolts were loose! Haha

Ich hätte den Zylinderkopf demontiert um die Zylinderkopfdichtung zu prüfen um sie gegebenen falls zu ersetzen,eine weitere Schwachstelle beim S54.Eventuell dann noch die Zylinderkopfschrauben ersetzt durch Stehbolzen von ARP.Tellerscheiben hinter den Zahnrädern könnte man noch ersetzen,die vom S62 passen und sind etwas stärker.
