What is a 250.000+ km BMW engine hiding? | Swippity Swappity | M54B30 to E36 swap

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

After much procrastination, it is finally time to swap the engine in Monika (my drift car) and increase her power output for more comfortable drifts. I will be swapping an M54B30 into an e36.
In this first part I did some maintenance on the engine by replacing the rod bearings, timing chains and other small things.
This is my first bigger project and I'd be very grateful if someone who already did a swap/project like that leaves some tips or advice down in the comments. Thank you :3
In this build I used and will continue to use parts from SKIDSHOP as they're super affordable and track tested. Go check it out.
Here are the parts I used in this video:
M54 Oil pump reinforcement kit: skid-shop.com/products/oil-pu...
M5x Camshaft locking tool: skid-shop.com/products/m50-m5...
The almighty degreaser:

I diluted it 1:3 but be careful, it will eat through your hands...

    God bless BMW for making half their engines' critical parts out of plastic...

    yep it do be like that, but at least they keep making spare parts for their older cars

    I'm seeing this 10mths later,did the chain guide end up causing more damage than originally thought? I was under the assumption if that happened the motor was essentially toast

    Nope, I assembled the engine and it runs great. I had a conversation with my friend who has a m54b25 in his e46 and he also tore down his engine and found out that one of the guides disintigrated. But he said that the engine wasn't making any strange noises. So I'm thinking that if the right guide fails it might not be that bad (of course I wouldn't push the engine hard) however the left one that's acctually the tensioner is probably more critical.

    @@Zakis_wonderful_world I've thought about doing this swap for my e36. It's kinda like putting a s50b30 in...only with dual vanos. Unfortunately I have an attention span of a tiny insect so I didn't watch ur whole conversation,what did u do about the throttle cable? Also if I had it torn down as much as u did I might have gone for the m50 intake swap as well since u would have been able to properly port match...then again I'm STRICTLY an N/A guy so doing those little thing that might now matter on a turbo build are more important

    Če mislš to kar je blo na motorju narjen me je pršlo slabih 400€, to je z ojačitvijo oljne pumpe, lagerji, cevmi, svečkami, dihtngami, ketno, vodili... skratka vse kar sem naredu. Neki delov je blo oem neki pa ponaredek (pri ponaredkih mam mal popusta). Če boš delou bi jz predlagou še zamenjat tesnilo ohišja oljnega filtra, jz to nisem, upam da ne bo pušča, če bo bomo pač zrihtal... Cel swap pa neki čez 4000€.
