This is awesome. No idea what you were saying, and I don't drive a BMW. But, i still found this fascinating.

Awesome video. Great seeing all your replies to the comments

I just did this exact setup on my m50tu in my E36 M Technik 3 months ago. No spacer though. Ces cutring+ ARP studs = ultimate boost built

You convinced me. I bought the cut ring gasket returning the MLS one now. I have my ARP bolts ready to go as well

Totally off topic, but how do you feel about coilovers vs stock mcpershon strut. Thanks, some day I'll reference these turbo build videos. I watch them all wishfully thinking 💭. Another great vid

Excellent video, sir.. putting back together my S54 (2004 M3) right now, just got the block and crank back from the shop.. I'm about to purchase my 2nd JE cut ring gasket, since the 1st one was destroyed when my machinist used the torque plate on the block.. before I pull trigger, how has your cut ring gasket been holding thus far? I believe it to be superior to MLS, but just worried that one of the rings might go out of alignment when I drop the head on the block!!

Hello, sorry but my english is not perfect and some terms are out of my knowledge, ive read a post that were comparing cometic vs "cutring and spacers", could you explain me what they mean when they compare the decompression plate with "cutring and spacers"? Thank you and nice build i hope it goes strong through the years 💪

Can you put those studs on while the engine is in the car?

Just had my m50 block bored . 50 over for the wisco low compression pistons and he shaved the block 10000 of an inch and decked the head what do you recommend i use for a gasket

Second btw 💯🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I have a m52b28, i got a cracked head, i can put a m50b25 head on instead, im right in thinking theyre the same head just different internals right

Hey brotha. How's this holding up so far? Love your content, nice seeing high end work without a 100k in tools and lift lol.

Does this gasket fit over 11mm s54 studs? Do you have to retorque the bolts?

New to bmw, was wondering if you have to have time serts with hed studs?

16:24 If you are faint of heart that is not a nice moment to have the key speed up like that... I was like 200BPM today when a nut did that .. damn

For the e8 bolts is it 89 ft lb or inch lb? I tried reading everywhere can’t find any info on it. Also can you use the old ones?

Been going through your videos while taking apart and putting things back together on my 92 325is. In your head prep video you nebo installing the exhaust manifolds while the head is outside of the car. Did you make a video of installing the head with the exhaust manifolds? Any tricks or things to look out for? I've seen other videos andre they cut the heads off the old head bolts and use them as guides pins while setting the head into the block. My head has two short guide dowels. Are the long guide bolts necessary?

@ M3NACE I have a 1996 E36 leaking antifreeze at first it was leaking behind the dash on the right side it overheats now can’t drive more then a few blocks and it starts to overheat everytime took it to a shop near me they said a blown head gasket I see that it drips anti freeze on the right side of the radiator when your it front of car (new radiator had it installed last summer I put a lot of work in the car changed so many parts already Any advise Thanks

Hello, I’ve heard people talk about spraying the surfaces with copper spray before installing the actual head gasket. Is it necessary?

That thing is going to be sick how much hp you planning on making?

Am stroking to 3 liter would i need a copper spacer?

Hey man I have an E36 and I had a major oil leak and didn’t know and ran the motor for maybe 30 minutes through traffic and now it won’t start at all I’m not that mechanically inclined and I’m scared bc I don’t know what’s wrong or how to fix it I can’t afford to take it to a shop only about 200$ to spare after my pay check hits next Friday do u have any ideas/advice

mm thickness from head gasket?

Have an M52B28 97 Z3 with only 10K miles on it. Only driven by me and never overheated or driven hard. Service tech telling me a very small seepage of coolant coming for back of engine below exhaust manifold and says new head gasket may be needed. No symptoms of blown head gasket, engine runs perfect, no oil/coolant contamination, never had to add coolant between changes, recent old style CA emission test shows engine in brand new condition (NO (PPM) 1 out 451 Max allowable). Do I need to replace head gasket and who would be the best shop in San Diego area to do this work if needed? Cannot imagine that heads are warped since it never overheated (temp gauge always in middle, cooling system serviced/ drained/ refilled every two years since new regardless of miles).

hey dude great content, do you know how much hp this headgasket can hold?

Dude what are the 3 passes in Newton meters in stead of foot inch pounds ?

Hey bro, with the torque on the cylinder head is ok with that sequence 25, 50, 75? because others say that the sequence for the M50 is 22-25 lb and 2 last sequences of 90 degrees, I have the doubt because if the sequence you did works then I would like to apply it because I do not have a torsion angle meter and it gives me lazy to get it xd

What’s the bore size on the pistons ? And also what size gasket?

Never included how to properly clean block ?

I'm just gonna say... idk a single person that pulls an m50 head without removing the cams and lifters first 😅

I wonder what ever happened to this car
