BMW 335I N54 DIY BUILT MOTOR | Full Build
Hey guys, i had to reupload this video because of copyright issues. Anyway this is a diy motor build. My main goal is to see if you can build an n54 in your own garage without being an experienced builder. Wish me luck. Also go watch my previous video to see how the motor preforms.

Thanks bro, was gonna do multiple parts but it was just easier to do everything in one video.
Good vid. One thing I always do when rebuilding an engine though is just have a paint pen when torqueing down mains, rods, or head bolts. Just in case something happens when doing it you can easily remember where you're at still.
Been wanting to take on a project with this N54 platform. With this information it’s confidence inspiring. Would love it in a 135i e8x
Perfect job Awesome detail outline.
holy shit that was awesome to watch haha, looks insane!
This is very nice bro, greetings from France 🇫🇷
Really good, Impressive Job. Hopefully Runs Perfect.
So satisfying to watch this video
Clean rebuild video 👍
Super dope video bro, you gained a sub today
Looks almost as simple as a Cummins to assemble. It's like a mini version besides the bedplate. Loved the video man, I bet she rips! My poor awd n54 has been sitting for a year lol I can't decide if I want twins again or a single.

Great vid man. This answered my question about what rods you went with that I posted on another video. I also went with arp but did oversized studs because the heads came that way. Curuious why you didn't go with a Schrick or Cat Cams camshaft? I was talked out of it but still wish I would have.
Sick video man
This is gold
nice vid ! some notes for high HP n54s taken from other peoples build experience *those cutring gaskets on the n54 tend to leak, stick with oem *9mm arp can lift the head if you run high boost - 11mm with nsl300 is the way to go or OEM *Pinned crankhub is a better design than friction washers.

Thanks for the feed back, Watch my previous video, I swapped that cutring gasket out. And yes ik I should have went with all 11mm arp studs and will be swapping those 9mm outs. As for for the crank hub I went with the VTT spline hud, works just as good as a pinned hub.

What tools should I invest in for a project 335i? I'm prolly going to single turbo it after maintenance, this will be my first European car once I find a good one.

A good torque wrench, torque sockets, inverted torque sockets, timing kit, front main seal tool and engine support bar. Screw drivers long/short, mostly just the basic tools. You will buy what you need along the way lol.

Where do you get your service repair manual? It so hard to find an bmw engine rebuilder here in North Carolina. I have 2012 bmw 335i
What did you torque the rod caps to?
You just saved 3:58 👟 👍🏽
What was the protrusion of the piston above the engine block?
I used the dodge rtv on mine same one they use for the hellcats
That’s what I’ve been trying to tell people if you have mechanical skills then bmw’s are relatively easy and cheap to work on

Hey man im curious to know why didnyou rebuild the new motor instead of the old one? Im in the same position now. A friend is offering a running one for 700 bucks but it has a lot of miles. My 335 only has 75k miles on it so i think thats better to repair?
Watd u use for head studs?
I learned you do precise job like this it runs until it falls apart from things other than what you did.
Any links for the parts? Or part numbers?
how much hp can these internals take? how do you close the deck?
🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👍👍👍
Hey, what's your e-torque wrench?
i'd use permatex MotoSeal. Stands up to gasoline and oil and heat much better. same as yamabond, suzukibond, hondabond etc.
As a newbie, I couldn't understand how the crank.bearing clearance was confirmed to be within tolerance. It looked like a piece of paper?
where did you get the assembly manual? been looking for it like crazy

You have to take the engine off the stand put your OEM fly wheel on and put the locking pin in. So basically I did the timing off the stand.

@8PSIandUp

He’s measuring the space between the crankshaft and the crankshaft bearings, this is (should be) done with all rebuilt engines to ensure the crankshaft doesn’t get chewed up by the bearings because of lack of oil flow.
Did you really not replace the exhaust valves? I definitely would have just for peace of mind

Usually you wanna put the piston cooler nozzles after you have the rods in so you don't accidentally hit one.

If your building for 1000+ hp should you just go for a swap? I heard horror stories of N54 guys blowing up their fully built engines at 8-900whp.
