Alberto, I think these assembly videos are some of your best content! You do a fantastic job explaining exactly what you're doing while rebuilding the engine. I would suggest doing more of these! Really awesome stuff! Keep it up!

You really should try out a new tuner. Dont get me wrong, i like to see you build engines, but would be nice to see one still intact after the dyno.

Damn that block soooo clean. Love the flat finish

Can we just appreciate hpw far bigboost💪🏻 has come from video and audio quality to just speaking to te camera and explaining everything unlike some youtubers,much love Alberto

Please continue. I have an m50 and this helps a lot.

Alberto posted new video? Homework can wait

Gotta love permatex

The effort on these last videos are amazing. Sound is crisp and the knowledge you have makes everything look so easy. Keep it up Alberto :D

Hope this one can handle the BIGBOOST

Alberto your videos have taught me a lot about engines. I now feel confident that I could build one my self

you make this shit look easy. this channel is fucking dope

Yup audio is way better buddy 👍👌

The blue on the valve cover looks good Alberto!

I really enjoy that you actually explain what you do and why

YES, I was waiting for this big boost always on top of it.

Run your mic cable on the inside of your shirt and you won't have to worry about it getting hung on things or being in the way. Something we used to do skateboarding with our headphone cables (before bluetooth)

Looks clean!

Loving it BigBoost! Great editing, great camera angles and as always, great content! Thank you

I may be mistaken but it looks like you locked one cam gear the opposite way even though you said "look I got it right the first time!" From what I can see you locked the gears differently on the secondary cam chain even though the gears spin the same way. It may have been intentional but it looks like the exhaust cam gear can still slip. Just looking out.

"break in" hits 2 step for a rev off this thing sounds amazing i love it

I hope it's 3rd time lucky for this engine build!

dont feel rushed. do things at your own pace and make it as good as it can be

Bravo Alberto, that you check comments and take the good advices !

engine looks so nice & clean 👌 love the blue valve vover 😍

This was helpful I'm also deleting vanos on mine right now.... you made it look alot easier than it is but it's worth removing. Good job Alberto ! I feel better doing this since I tore it down! ✌🏽

Nice job Alberto. Also great solution for the oilpump nut!

nice work bro

I love all the close up shots Alberto

I love these videos!! Learned so much! Your very educational

Looks awesome dude. Can't wait to see it at the track!

Nice Build. Keep op the good work BigBoost

I love your work and this motivate me to overhall my M50b25NV before Turbobuild

why arent you using any thread locker on the hardware?

These detailed videos are the best, keep it going :D

Love it! We are very similar in the way we work. Keep it up BIG BOOOOOST!!👍

please make a vid like this for every engine variant you ever assemble. great work brudda boooost

Wicked very informative video thanks Alberto.

Best quality video yet good job!! @bigboost

Congrats man! Looks great!

Sweet

I wanna be like you when I grow up! Lol I’m 19 and I’m getting my AA degree in automotive technology this spring. Keep up the great videos!

An easy trick to keep a gasket from falling off when installing something like the timing cover, is to simply put a bolt in one of the cover holes. It acts like the alignment dowel and keeps it in place until it's all lined up and on the motor. Beautifully clean motor. Just the way it should be when doing assembly.

great videos alberto.. what a nice tutorial.. i love your videos.. huge fan from Portugal :=

Big Boost skillz!!!!

Great video Alberto!

I enjoyed it, I did see that the cam caps were off. It is so hard to build and engine and Remeber everything.

Damm great video, you are a great instructor!

Very entertaining man love these types of videos! Keep it up !! Very jealous of your mechanical ability I haven’t gotten anywhere close to where you’re at lol.

Good stuff bro. Keep it up 💪

love this build videos

Love the videos Man keep it up!

Good job

Yo! Bigboost! Love your videos man, keep up the good work. You sgould show us what tools you are working with, ive noticed some harbor freight but that torque wrench of yours is nice af! Also it would be cool to see some wiring videos related to 2j or sr. Thanks bigboost! Ps. Wheres kiki? More kiki!!

Any tips on keeping the crank woodruff key in while putting the crank pulley on. Keep up the great content

When installing the sprocket for the primary timing chain on the exhaust cam, is it not suppose to be that the arrow is pointing to the top of the engine block towards the exhaust? Great video by the way.

Okay Alberto, I’m refreshing a jz right now and have arp head studs ready to go in but I can’t figure out which way to install them. I’ve heard that you put them in the block hand tight and then torque them down in the proper order, and that you hand tighten them in, put everything on, and then put the head on and torque the nuts down. I’m confused and I figured you and/or this video could help me

nice build!

Top job👍

Wow very good job💪

I saturated my shorts when you unveiled your engine. Thanks.

Keep up the good work

I see on the piston rings you went 2 steps on first one and 3 steps on second one….if I’m not immediately going turbo and just want to be NA for awhile would it be acceptable for me to only do 1 step on the first and 2 steps on the second? And tune accordingly

Nice work

Important question, are the little dowel pins that go between the block and head important?? As in are they just guides or do they carry pressure that the head gasket wont hold? My reconditioner left them in a bag for me and i forgot about them

I’ve seen your channel since I was 17 bro I’m 23 now and I always come back to this series when I get an urge to start a build like this! Question tho how long did this engine end up lasting?

Looks great live and learn though, this build will be amazing because everything is done to like a professional standard imagine the potential your S52 would've had if this what the full process at the time of that build, Quality of the video is alot better too Mic is great aswell for a second I thought you did commentary over the vid

Alberto I know this is an older video, hope you see this... Ill be doing Vanos delete as well, but Im not sure about the Vanos oil line. Is it ok to leave it in place, or do I have to plug it like you did? Will it cause a drop in oil pressure if I leave it as is, with just removing the piston from the Vanos housing?

My dad bmw has been at the mechanic for 7 weeks for a timing chain and it's still there. You rebuilt a whole engine in less than a week.

Nice video :) It could be divided in 10 minutes parts and published each part one day.. It would be more beneficial to you in terms of views and more frequently published videos..

Hey Alberto! In the last video the chain cover was flush with the block, without a gap, in this one there is a gap where you did put the silicone. Is that normal? (another gasket or something?) Absolutely love your videos!!

When you forgot to add the oil pick up tube bracket, did you simply loosen the 2 crankshaft bolts and retighten them over the bracket or loosen ALL the bolts and start over again?

I like the rock music, keep using it.

Nice alberto dale duro

i wonder if that oil pump bolt idea would work on an e46

What are those pistons

hi wich valvetrain do you use ? and wich do you use before ?

Do you use ARP studs for the head?

hi. I wonder what the volume was before you stroket it Alberto, am about to make my M52TUB25 to B30

nice video as always Alberto! just one thing: it'd be nice if you'd leveled all the audio levels equally so that we won't have to constantly turn the volume up or down!

Nice solution to the oil pump pulley nut issue there. Did you drill/tap the hole for the nut yourself? Not so sure about the colour of that valve cover though!

I know this is an older video but ive been watching you since you started your own channel after doing adams 2jz. But im picking up a 328i e36 and wanted to do a stroker build. I have found some cheap m54b30 internals and am wondering if thats the direction you went. I can get the intake cam and crank for like $150. If you wouldnt mind answering some questions id love to talk for a lil bit

How come the cam sprockets dont have a specific torque? paint mark them or something?

Gatta love snap on. Snap away 😎

Please don't do 10 minute segments. These long videos are perfect to follow along and learn. If you ever do an ls build series like these, I'd happy donate to the cause

oh i almost followed your way to set the vanos sprocets. And i am gonna be using my vanos system :D god lord i notised that :D

Why didnt you go with the cut ring gasket again, that seemed like a good idea.

What engine oil do you personally use in a built engine? Ex. Brand and weight

I'm 2.5 years into designing, machining, building and working out the bugs on my custom cylinder head for an M52 in my 99' 328iS. It uses rotating tubes to let the air in and out of the engine. I wish I had seen his series of videos before I did my project. I once had to to take my front cover off while the head was on the car and the whole engine was in the car... it took a very long time for a whole bunch of reasons. Nice job on the videos! You can check mine out on my channel.

I have to get a new head on my m52tub28. Exhaust studs are corroded. Maybe this can help me a little.

For PC watercooling applications, you generally avoid mixing up copper and aluminimum, because this tends to lead to corrosion. Wouldn't the copper gasket thing do the same to the engineblock?

Can anyone tell me what the difference between a built bottom end of an engine and built top end? Is the bottom, all the crankshaft and pistons ect, and top end is valvetrain and camshafts ect

Nice work, FYI what you are calling a baffle is actually a crank scraper / windage tray.

how about using torque during assembly of valetrain?

could you do a video where you show the cost of machine work and parts you use?

Lovr watching your channel, have you heard if a gasket sealer called wellseal?

Loving the build. I'm learning alot. Also I think that's probably a bird my friend 😂

love your mic setup 😂

the squirrel randomness @6:48 😂😂😂😂

Good Luck

How is the vanos delete done? Are you using a stock done?
