BMW N54 2008 Engine block rebuild overhaul DIY
I am now in the process of rebuilding my engine block. Shooting videos to show the process (for those who might be interested).
The long story short… Had oil leaks problem (bad, very bad). Corrected a few: - Recently changed oil filter housing seal (few months ago) - Oil cooler flange seal at oil filter housing - Valve cover seal - Cylinder head gasket was done about 4 years ago All those fixes helped. But others were still to be done. I remember how big of a job it was to take out engine and transmission. Somehow, I was trying to avoid going there again (as I knew it was a big job)… Initial thoughts: I have to replace crankshaft seals (both) and oil pan gasket. Since these are great amount of work, I have decided to check engine compression. All cylinders are within a 5 psi window, between 110 - 115 psi. Engine compression test should be above 10 bars (145 psi). So, in the end, I'd rather taking engine out, rebuild the block. I'll have it in hand to fix seals and gasket issues. I have open a Youtube Channel “Quebec DIY” to cover the entire process.
