This is my 550i and ever since I've been taking my BMW to Johnny he is extremely meticulous and so knowledgeable about fine German automobiles. My cars have never run better! Here's to you Johnny

Nice to see the Car Ninja getting more comfortable in front of the camera.

I hope Jonny's making fat profit at his shop, he looks like a really hard worker and a humble guy. It seems like he's pulling bmw engines left and right lol

as an apprentice bmw tech, this kind of content is something that i love to see

Jonny is a great guy. He puts up with Hoovies with so much patience. He also let John Ross use the lift. Hope these videos bring him lots of business!

I love how calm , methodical and professional Johnny is.

Johnny, tell John Ross and Tyler to mention your channel on their channels, I did not know you had one. I just ran into it by chance and I follow those two guys.

I’m a Lexus owner, here to watch unreliable cars get fixed 👍🏻

I am a BMW fan, I have two but this vid to me is the best advertisement for a push rod Chev V8 I have ever seen.

After watching this video, I felt like I was watching a surgeon restoring life in the ER. I had this exact job done on my '06 E66 years ago and seeing this video leaves no doubt as to why this repair is so costly. Keep up the great work Dr. Jonny👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. Your meticulous attention to detail and keen knowledge of your craft is refreshing to see in the auto repair industry 💯💯💯.

The Car Ninja is about the only guy who can say "Step 1: Remove engine" with a genuine smile

Lots of steps in this job. I can only imagine how many parts you have to keep track of. Excellent job Johnny.

I like the way you work! You're like a surgeon - everything precise, clean and meticulous!!

What a process! Johnny did a great job of explaining everything he was doing. Great video as always Mike!

I don't know where Jonny got his training from, but, I wish all mechanics would get the same training!

I'm no mechanic, or even a petrol head, but I could watch you work on these complex machines for hours. My late Father was an amazing engineer and I think he would have appreciated the way you guys work. Regards from The Scottish Highlands. Derek.

What a huge amount of work. There can't be many people on the planet who can do this properly. Well done!

Terrific video. Always appreciate watching a pro work.

Love his work, humble, professional

Glad to see you on here Johnny and thank you for the helpful information!!!

Very nice video!! You guys are getting more and more professional. This type of videos are going to be one of my favorites to watch!!!

always a joy watching your experpertly work/rebuild a broken engine Ninja, great job!

Clean,nice, thorough operation! Pictures are always great. Awesome job!

man that's a scary looking job. respect to johnny

Johnny is the man. So soothing to watch and listen to him.

The pacing and editing of these videos is so soothing, goes along with the Ninja's controlled demeanour lol

I'm so psyched that I found your page. Looking forward to listening to you!

The filming and editing have greatly improved, nice job ! Thanks for the great content !

Much respect to you Johnny, that amount of work taking apart and putting back the car together is a whole world of nope for me

This channel is exactly what I needed, thanks for creating it!

My girlfriend has a 2010 X5 and had a bad coolant leak (weird I know). I live in Wichita so I decided to give the Car Ninja a shot after seeing him in Hoovie’s videos and honestly I’ve never been more impressed with a mechanic. The quality of work he performs is exceptional and is very pleasant as well, there wasn’t any grumpy mechanic vibes in his shop

Great to watch an expert technician at work, could watch these all day, keep up the great content, subscribed

I'm happy to see you have your own KZfaq channel. I enjoyed watching you on Hoovies and JrGo. Beautiful shop.

What an excellent video, talk about right tool for the right job. I figured this would be a simple valve seal replacement but you went over and above what many techs would do-I really enjoyed watching this video.

I just found this channel. Johnny boi! Good to see you out here. Look forward to future content.

If I still had my BMW, I would drive it to this shop to get it done! Very professional!

Your attention to detail is amazing. Very few mechanics do that here in Europe. Tyler is lucky to have you as a friend and mechanic as well.

Johnny has a superb quality of workmanship. He is so meticulous and it would be worth having him as your mechanic.

I realy hope this channal take off... this is so enjoying to watch... First time see him in hovies vid.. great guy.

GREAT VIDEO ! You can clearly see the quality of the shop and tools (that engine stand is amazing); the cleanliness and tidiness of the shop speaks to an organised mind and logical approach; and of course Johnny's expert knowledge comes across very well. If I had a 6 figure car, I'd have no problem letting The Car Ninja work on my car.

Shum punë te paq ki bere, te lumtë, pershendetje nga Belgjika.

Super Video! Johnny ist ein Mechaniker, wie man sich ihn nur wünschen kann. Weiter so! Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland...

Car Ninja is awesome. Very knowlegeable and clean.

Possibly one of the most informative vids I've seen ... the guy is a class act who clearly knows his stuff and takes a great amount of pleasure in his work ... top work Jonny

You are a true craftsman in your work. It clearly shows that you care about what you are doing and your customers. Thanks for the great video. 👍🏻😊

Johnny. Great to see you started your own channel. One thing I would have gone over in this video is how to check/unclog the secondary air injection ports in the heads. They are so small and with burning oil they can clog up pretty quick.

Just found your channel, never subscribed faster in my life

I don't own a German car but I love watching a master mechanic at work on these awesomely complex automobiles.

And for his first solo video brilliant .look how well the wizard has done

Your the go to guy. Outstanding work Johnny!

Really enjoy watching you work great videos keep them coming ...

Good in depth explanation of what you're doing. Great stuff 😉

The shop that Harbor Freight built...Great work Sir. A 38 year tech here and would take me several days and quite a lot of restarts on that job. Very well done. A little surprised you did not go for chains and guides while you had it out. Not a BMW guy though. Keep up the good work.

Johnny is the BEST technician I have seen. Exceptional. No one in the U.K. can match this guys effort and knowledge.

I'm glad Johnny is making vids now! Also amazed at how much technical know-how he has (and, sadly, how much BMW's require for a job that sounds like it should be much easier). One thing is for sure - if you are going to roll the dice on an out-of-warranty German car, you need to find a good, honest mechanic who will do it right the first time and be prepared to pay the cost of doing it right! That, or you're going to get used to sending BMWs to the crusher and buying another one every time you hear "engine out."

Would love to see more vids from this guy. Very humble and professional. I do frequent road trips to AZ and Florida from Canada and normally get my VW Golf or BMW 335 (whichever i feel like taking) serviced at a local dealer when its 7000kms into the trip, but id prefer to get them serviced at Jonny's shop on my next trip.

I really don't think this could have been done any better. Bravo! This is why it's worth paying a professional. I just wish I lived close by.

WOW 🤩 fantastic video thanks ninja...lots of respect !

Man I had no idea you had a channel. JR. Tyler and Wizard need to pitch your channel. This is awesome! Hope this is a great success for you. You have my full support and I’m painting my garage floor white next weekend. 😷

Nice detail. For such an inexpensive part, valve seals cause a great deal of work. In a similar project, I handlapped the valve seats. Next time I'll use drill and save myself a lot of time. I like the step-by-step walk through. For novices like me, it really breaks things down well.

This guy works like a surgeon. Discovered this channel accidentally what a find!

First time watcher and subscriber. I just watched several of your videos and really like them. Thanks so much for creating these helpful and interesting videos.

Well worth the money spent! That engine will run like brand new thanks to the meticulous work Johnny did to it!

Glad you started your own channel,wish you all the best bro

Enjoied your video and the explaining you do, greetings from Belgium

Been binging on this most excellent channel!

I hope he’s ready for his channel to blow up like wizard’s, thanks hoovie!!

I've done the valve seal failure job using the AGA tool which was tedious but this is on a whole different level.

Great advice Johnny you are a true BMW ninja

There's a lot to love about modern BMWs . . . ownership is not one of them. Thanks Ninja!

I would give up right before starting this process :) well done

That adjustable steel table is a god sent 👍🏼

Nice to watch your video's Jonny !

Jonny, love your videos. A lot of info in a small clip. Nice...

Bought an e39 540 with broken timing chain guides... But turns out the chain slipped and bent every single valve. So going to replace all the valves and while slightly different in design from this engine, your video helps a lot. thank you!

Car Ninja is the man! I don’t even have a 5 series and am here just to watch the skill. Dude reminds me of an old mechanic I knew In short, dude was making mad $$. He was honest, straightforward and would charge a fair price. Wouldn’t even charge for minor things (adjust IAC, lube joints, or replace air filters). You can be assured however I brought him clutch jobs, suspension, etc. dude made bank in a 2 bay garage!!

This man is a master of his craft, I’d trust him 100% with my car wow

Great to see what it takes to do the job right. Swords up for the ninja ⚔️

Johny is one fabulous mechanic.

He really is a Ninja. "I like my floor clean" truly gangsta words

Loved this video!! So cool to see this piece by piece and all the effort that goes into it. Easy to see how a vehicle could be mechanically totaled by needing new valve seals. Excellent work guys.

Not even into BMW’s but love this content. They always say don’t reuse tty head bolts but I’ve got 14k miles with a bigger turbo so far on mine with no issues..reused

Jonny is the best in town !

This guy probably done it many times, awesome 👌

Hey Car Ninja, Really digging your content! Keep putting out videos regularly and just be yourself! The Car Wizard has over 300k subs and if you keep posting you will too!

A true master mechanic at work. 😮

Can’t believe I was actually going to attempt to do this on my 550.. Hell no. Glad I watched your video first!

I M P R E S S I V E, as always enjoy watching your masterful skills. Patience is the art of a BMW Mastertech.

Wow Ninja ,, great video and presentation from over the pond....))) 🇬🇧

So many broken Beamers, so little time!!!. Well done Jonny.

Top 5 car video ever posted on KZfaq.

Thanks for showing this Johnny 👍

There is another way to do this job using the AGA valve stem seal tool. I did it a few weeks ago and rented the tool. You do not need to take the engine out or the camshafts. It is still very time consuming and difficult but doable for an advanced DIYer. This is still a great video though almost like an engine rebuild. It took me about 40 hours to do the job but could probably do it in half if I did it again. After doing the job, I see why shops charge so much.

My valve stem oil seals are still perfect on my 136,000 miles 20+ year old vauxhall/opel astra 2.0 16v Very little oil it uses just normal usage. Uses a lot less than 1 quart every 6,500 miles when i change the oil & filter. I have put mobil 1 0w 40 fully synthetic from 45,000 miles and used redex/marvel mystery oil engine cleaner since 45,000 miles and had no problems with oil consumption with my car. Top video this is.(:-)

That job best left to the ninja.

Excellent content as usual Jonny! My 6 series may very well owe you her life lol.

Very Nice you have your own Channel on KZfaq, I AM used to see your work on Hoovies Channel! Great Job! Already subscribed! Congrats from Brazil!

Awesome work Johnny! Hope your channel will get lots of views. I’ll be sharing your videos to all of my miserable bmw friends 😂

Johnny - great content! I subscribed. I frequently see your work with Tyler Hoovie. Keep it coming.

Excellent video. Attention to detail. Sometimes just have to take to a professional to fix.
