In this riveting installment from the M539 Restorations channel, the intrepid team takes on the herculean task of rebuilding the engine of the legendary BMW E92 M3. Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, for a journey that will leave you on the edge of your seat. With their giant carbon fiber towel laid out before them, the team unveils the heart and soul of this mid-2000s masterpiece, the S65 B40 V8 engine, capable of unleashing a spine-tingling 8400 RPM.
The adventure begins with the meticulous assembly of the piston oil spraying nozzles, ensuring every detail is in place. The block is given a thorough cleaning, and the team expertly blows out all the oil passages with compressed air. With precision and finesse, they apply medium thread locker to the screws and torque them to the specified 6 Nm. The clean crankshaft takes its rightful place, followed by the bed plate and main bearing bolts, each step executed with utmost care.
Now, pay close attention, as this is where it gets interesting. The team opts for King race bearings, the crème de la crème of bearings, ensuring optimal performance. They proceed to install everything dry, using plastic gauges to check the clearance. If all is well, the final installation with assembly lube can commence. Cleanliness is paramount, my friends, and the team ensures the residence of the main bearings is spotless before gingerly popping them in. With bated breath, they delicately insert the crankshaft, followed by the hefty bed plate.
Ah, but here's where things take a twist. Unlike your standard engine, this beauty boasts a bed plate design, a one-piece block that eliminates the need for a standard gasket. Instead, a special procedure is in order. The bed plate must be torqued down fully, then the front and rear crank seals are installed, and a sealant is injected through ports on the sides, creating a permanent seal. It's a meticulous dance of precision and artistry, my friends, one that requires the utmost attention to detail.
But fear not, for the team at M539 Restorations is up to the challenge. With their trusty tools and unwavering determination, they navigate the treacherous terrain of engine rebuilding, ensuring that every bolt is tightened, every clearance is checked, and every seal is perfectly in place. Stay tuned for the next chapter in this epic saga, as the team delves deeper into the intricacies of this remarkable engine rebuild. It's a journey that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.
