Just cracked my cyl 1 ring-land in the same exact spot! lol rebuilding it as we speak!

literally checked back on your channel earlier today to see if there had been any updates - so excited to see this pop up!

No collateral damage! 👍 I understand your excitement after discovering the broken piston 😀👌

Since i found you . Ive been waiting on video. Because essentially your engine build is how im going

Только не собирай на стоковых поршнях, если не хочешь как эти ребята разбирать и собирать мотор !

Recognized the car! I grabbed a manual swap from you recently. Super friendly guy and great experience 👍. I am still looking for a complete column!

Glad there's an update video! Stoked for the next one

Super lucky that piece didnt let go from the piston completely love the car and this channel

when a ringland cracks it stays there forever you just gonna have lower compression

Love the videos gives me the inspiration to work on my e36. Can’t weight tell the next video!!!

That's the best you could hope for. I'm happy it wasn't something worst

looking foward to more videos! Have you considered a m54b30 crank if youre buying forged internals already?

If you want a custom cutring thickness headgasket check Gemoflan race gaskets They can make the cutring gasket and rings in any spec you want

Next time do it with 3.0L using m54b30 crank and forged m54b30 pistons, you can keep m52b28 rods, but I recommend using m50 non vanos rods!!

Apparently the m54b30 rods are the same as the n54b30 rods which can hold 600hp ish. idk what the non vanos m50 rods can handle but I'd wager they are similar. source: I saw it in a forum lmao

What do you suspect was the cause of failure, did you gap the piston rings at all?

Would be great if you could show the cut ring marks in the head 👍

Get a thicker head gasket cometic 1.40 and replace the head gasket with cut ring your gonna maybe need to resurface head now don’t cut corners or you will regret it.

Running on E or 93? I don't know how much boost you were making but I've heard 93 on stock compression can be pretty risky over like 10psi. Following the build.

I thought all e36 had the “service” position for the hood ? Maybe just sedans ? I love mine

Sadly only the sedans got that service position, I wish I had it for jobs like this

Police in Ontario don't check for catalyzers? Here in Manitoba that would be a serious fine. Better off with a bypass for not on the street?

It's a pretty good fine here too 🤷‍♂️ A polite interaction goes a long way from my experience. No issues yet

@@joshuadunand I find that as long as I stay off the throttle coming in and out of the my suburb and stay far away from Cruise Night I don't get any trouble (so far). Being old helps a bit. I've got the VF Engineering Supercharger on mine right now and would love to trade up to a build similar to yours. 500'ish is usually about the limit of streetable with this platform. After that the big turbo and the heavy clutch start to make it less fun as a grocery getter. I'm going to go into your back articles and try to pick up what you learned going through so many engines.

Check injectors and injectors rings

holy shit running 460whp on stock pistons. welcome to ringland failiure, you were very lucky it didnt trash the cylinder wall and head.

Plenty of these running between 400 and 500 on stock bottom end. It's nothing new.

Ist es ein M52b30 ?

with your cutring headgasket, did you use a copper spacer or no!

@joshuadunand

No it was just a JE cutring. 0.068" I believe. Spacer would have been ideal but at the time this motor was built everything was backordered 8 weeks plus.

​@@joshuadunand expierencing the same thing! currently turboing my m50, and having some trouble sourcing a spacer. so im not sure if its safe to run a je cutring up to 12psi without a spacer

When’s the next Ram resto video?
