I am about to do a version of this. Out doors on a slope of gravel. I decided to use 2 12k ramps for the back and boards for the front. Pulling a bad engine and good transmission out. Putting the trans on the new good engine and reinserting it. No lift. Just creativity.

Guys, its much easier to take it out with two hooks and a metal rope. Take of intake mani and use the towk hook mount at front the above starter hole for the second hook.

I’m doing an engine swap on my e92 I’d recommend doing all gaskets, valve cover and rod bearings. Fairly simple and great way to extend the life of your n54.

Fun to watch! It reminds me of how I used to do such things ... sketchy and without all the right equipment. At least you used an engine hoist! I used a come along and a tree.

Looking forward to the next phase, engine rebuild ☺

Great vid guys 😎👍🏻

Huge effort Guys

For there being that much damage you got the motor out fairly smooth.

Should have put a plank of MDF under the engine crane. Great work though boys, loving the channel!

Watching this because I need to replace all gaskets on the motor. I figured it'd probably be easier to just pull it out than try and fight it in the car

“If I die at least I’ll be on camera”😂😂

That was wild , i wish we were in the same country nothing will make me mlre happy than expend my sunday doing this with you guys , i have done a swap for my E90 from a 535xi we drop the hole suspension it was the hell of a job

That was the original plan, but when i realised how smashed the subframe was, i thought it's probably going to be easier to leave the subframe in there. However, not sure if i made the right choice anyway.

Tell you what, so lucky we did it yesterday. So much rain over night, no way we would have been able to move the crane.

1 car is currently sitting on 4 stumps (the Stunpmaster 4000) and the other is having an engine swap. I will upload a video at some point if anyone is interested.

You should do studs and head gasket

Well done boys

Yeah, back to reality today, haha. Wasn't too bad in the end. We were just lucky we have had a few weeks of no rain, so we could still move the engine crane.

Just what I needed haha, been reading and been scared of all these things on the internet again. Oil pump bolts loose, cam ledge with the metal bearing throwing vanos codes, crankhub etc. Feeling like I wanna prepare so my next car gets an engine removal and kind of a refresh so everything is bulletproof.

The wheels to hold the car is actually a decent idea because they have a huge surface area on the soft ground.

thanks man, we are loving the youtube thing.

I'm probably wrong but that looks safer and better than using jack stands to me. But I haven't ever tried it although I do have enough tires and wheels to. But I'm too much of a chicken to try anything like that. Although this is similar to what is done in many wreckers yards or "Pick N Pull" etc type yards and I've worked underneath cars in those yards for sure so....hmm....

Great video, i hope, hope, hope to god i don't get as many issues as you guys when get my 335, part of me just thinks get an e9x M3 do a few carbon bits big wing downs pipes and resonator delete and away i go. Only maintenance thing would be accelerator actuator and rod bearings. Gonna be a close call between the two cars. If I get a super clean 335 thats gonna be £8k to £10k Tune and pre engine service another £5k (Tune £3k) (Engine out service £2k) M3 £12k to £13k Rod bearings £2k Carbon bits (wing splitter etc etc £1,500) Wrap £1,700 F80 style headlights £380 Catless Downpipes, resonator delete and remap £1,000 This will be a tricky one. 🤔🤔🤔 If i found a low mileage M3 manual for £12k or £13k i'm all over it!!! & sometimes i see pink fly elephants 🤣🤣🤣

There's no great option. This one has had a hit from the steering rack, so it is a little worse than normal. But not much worse.

Put a baffle in the sump please

Also with the rocker cover smashed like that id be very weary of using any of the head components of this engine. Id only use the bottom end of this one and the top end of yours.

Well, we'll get the valve cover off once the new one arrives and see what it looks like in there. Hopefully its fine. It was right at the back under the scuttle, so it would have been protected from dust and rain pretty well. Hopefully not much go in there. I am fairly confident the 10 seconds i ran it in the first video is the first time it was started since the crash.

Hey I have a question for you guys, so I’m removing the engine, I’m wondering why did you cut the fuel line instead of unpluging it from the block and the hpfp

@ZeroTo60Tube

3 жыл бұрын

No, i undid the quick disconnect which is just in the engine bay, where the soft line joins the hardline which is screwed in to the pump. The fuel line is a hard plastic line under the car, then just before the engine bay it joins a softline which connected to the hardline on the pump........ I hope that makes sense.

You are very lucky indeed, I’d at least use steel wheels, steel bends, aluminum just cracks and collapses leaving no time to react

Clean the oil pick up!

Cane corsos?

Ahhhhh we did all give it a good wobble on the wheels. It was pretty solid until we started to lift the engine, then it got exciting haha. We also made sure there was always something solid like the spare ramps under the car where we were under it. Just in case.. I have seen that motortrend episode. It was kind of surprising. Engine masters is one of my fav shows on there.
