BMW N62 Valve Seal Replacement
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 08. 2024
- A common problem with BMW engines is valve seal failure. In this video Jonny "The Car Ninja" shows his method for replacing failed valve seals in an N62 engine from a BMW 550i.
**MAKE SURE AND CHECK OUT OUR WEDNESDAY VLOG. EVERY WEDNESDAY**
This is my 550i and ever since I've been taking my BMW to Johnny he is extremely meticulous and so knowledgeable about fine German automobiles. My cars have never run better! Here's to you Johnny
How many miles on it? Love the car.
@Stimpy&Ren 🤠
I probably could have gotten you 3 of these from a dealer auction for what you paid for the repair! I love BMW's but repairs are another story. Totally kills the value on the secondary market.
how many miles on the car? Thanks!
Looks like you've found a good mechanic. They are worth every penny.
Nice to see the Car Ninja getting more comfortable in front of the camera.
I hope Jonny's making fat profit at his shop, he looks like a really hard worker and a humble guy. It seems like he's pulling bmw engines left and right lol
lol seems that way with BMWs. "Ok, we're going to change the brake pads today. 1st step, we need to drop the engine."
If Hoovie keeps buying failures then Jonny will never be out of work or skint😂
@@deanwinchester7179 so true lol
garage always seems full so he's doing something right.
it is alot of work, work like this I try not to do for customers anymore. abusive customers are the worst. verbally and financial abusive customers.
as an apprentice bmw tech, this kind of content is something that i love to see
Jonny is a great guy. He puts up with Hoovies with so much patience. He also let John Ross use the lift.
Hope these videos bring him lots of business!
I love how calm , methodical and professional Johnny is.
It's almost therapeutic watching him work.
Lots of steps in this job. I can only imagine how many parts you have to keep track of. Excellent job Johnny.
I’m a Lexus owner, here to watch unreliable cars get fixed 👍🏻
Hahahaha
After watching this video, I felt like I was watching a surgeon restoring life in the ER. I had this exact job done on my '06 E66 years ago and seeing this video leaves no doubt as to why this repair is so costly. Keep up the great work Dr. Jonny👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. Your meticulous attention to detail and keen knowledge of your craft is refreshing to see in the auto repair industry 💯💯💯.
The Car Ninja is about the only guy who can say "Step 1: Remove engine" with a genuine smile
What a process! Johnny did a great job of explaining everything he was doing. Great video as always Mike!
Thanks buddy
Thank you buddy
Johnny.Awesome video.I'm highly impressed by your proffesionalism and attention to detail.Wish I stayed near you to bring my cars when I can't manage something myself.I have 8 much older 7Series(E23 ,E32 &E38)& a '83 635Csi.Al so much easier to work on except maybe the 2 750iL's(E32 &E38)).This video has scared me off from buying a newer 7.Labour is insane.Thanks for probably saving me a fortune in future repairs.
@@slainemcroth4052 I lost interest in the 7 series when the E65/E66 came out. Haven't looked back since. E32 and E38's are my 7's (although I only own one 750iL E32 for now, but I love it).
What a huge amount of work. There can't be many people on the planet who can do this properly. Well done!
Much respect to you Johnny, that amount of work taking apart and putting back the car together is a whole world of nope for me
My girlfriend has a 2010 X5 and had a bad coolant leak (weird I know). I live in Wichita so I decided to give the Car Ninja a shot after seeing him in Hoovie’s videos and honestly I’ve never been more impressed with a mechanic. The quality of work he performs is exceptional and is very pleasant as well, there wasn’t any grumpy mechanic vibes in his shop
@@rgt33 indeed! That car is long gone, and thank god. I loathed working on it
I'm no mechanic, or even a petrol head, but I could watch you work on these complex machines for hours. My late Father was an amazing engineer and I think he would have appreciated the way you guys work. Regards from The Scottish Highlands.
Derek.
I don't know where Jonny got his training from, but, I wish all mechanics would get the same training!
He really knows how to get that money from CZcamsrs who spend $4000 and then have to sell the cars bc they are junk, LMFAO.
im 100% sure he is portuguese
he sucks really.
@@hugocunha30 Albanian
I suspect he's a former BMW master technician.
Johnny, tell John Ross and Tyler to mention your channel on their channels, I did not know you had one. I just ran into it by chance and I follow those two guys.
man that's a scary looking job. respect to johnny
I like the way you work! You're like a surgeon - everything precise, clean and meticulous!!
Can’t believe I was actually going to attempt to do this on my 550.. Hell no. Glad I watched your video first!
Scott Whittier if you have all of the tools why not? It will not take one or even two days though. Speed comes with repetition. To me challenges are fun but the most important thing is to have a gameplan.
Thought about doing it on my 545i also. Watched a video like this and had about the same reaction you probably did lol
Just finished up my wifes X5. Did it with the engine in the car using the AGA tool. It was tough! But she no smoke no more....
Great to watch an expert technician at work, could watch these all day, keep up the great content, subscribed
I've done the valve seal failure job using the AGA tool which was tedious but this is on a whole different level.
Possibly one of the most informative vids I've seen ... the guy is a class act who clearly knows his stuff and takes a great amount of pleasure in his work ... top work Jonny
Johnny is the man. So soothing to watch and listen to him.
Johnny is the BEST technician I have seen. Exceptional. No one in the U.K. can match this guys effort and knowledge.
Loved this video!! So cool to see this piece by piece and all the effort that goes into it. Easy to see how a vehicle could be mechanically totaled by needing new valve seals. Excellent work guys.
Thank you
Thank you
No problem, appreciate you guys! Take care.
GREAT VIDEO ! You can clearly see the quality of the shop and tools (that engine stand is amazing); the cleanliness and tidiness of the shop speaks to an organised mind and logical approach; and of course Johnny's expert knowledge comes across very well. If I had a 6 figure car, I'd have no problem letting The Car Ninja work on my car.
Johnny has a superb quality of workmanship. He is so meticulous and it would be worth having him as your mechanic.
You are a true craftsman in your work. It clearly shows that you care about what you are doing and your customers. Thanks for the great video. 👍🏻😊
Thank you
Car Ninja is the man! I don’t even have a 5 series and am here just to watch the skill. Dude reminds me of an old mechanic I knew In short, dude was making mad $$. He was honest, straightforward and would charge a fair price. Wouldn’t even charge for minor things (adjust IAC, lube joints, or replace air filters). You can be assured however I brought him clutch jobs, suspension, etc. dude made bank in a 2 bay garage!!
Well worth the money spent! That engine will run like brand new thanks to the meticulous work Johnny did to it!
I realy hope this channal take off... this is so enjoying to watch... First time see him in hovies vid.. great guy.
There's a lot to love about modern BMWs . . . ownership is not one of them. Thanks Ninja!
Your attention to detail is amazing. Very few mechanics do that here in Europe. Tyler is lucky to have you as a friend and mechanic as well.
I don't own a German car but I love watching a master mechanic at work on these awesomely complex automobiles.
I'm happy to see you have your own CZcams channel. I enjoyed watching you on Hoovies and JrGo. Beautiful shop.
Would love to see more vids from this guy. Very humble and professional. I do frequent road trips to AZ and Florida from Canada and normally get my VW Golf or BMW 335 (whichever i feel like taking) serviced at a local dealer when its 7000kms into the trip, but id prefer to get them serviced at Jonny's shop on my next trip.
Thank you
always a joy watching your experpertly work/rebuild a broken engine Ninja, great job!
He really is a Ninja.
"I like my floor clean" truly gangsta words
Shum punë te paq ki bere, te lumtë, pershendetje nga Belgjika.
Very impressed but also very intimidated. I have been considering a BMW 650i with this engine and I heard about the valve seal issue. I knew it would be a challenge to change them but I had no idea that it would be this involved. And I'm surprised that he didn't replace the timing chain, guides and tensioners as they are also very problematic. Let's just say I saw enough to steer myself away from the 650i.
I bought mine knowing they were bad, done em on my 4 cyl shitter so how hard could it be? I’m gonna be out for a week on this job this spring hahaha.
Stay away lol If you don't have time n proper lift n tools. 650 also big heavy car to work on. I did the clutch , n head gasket which takes patience n energy. I wish I did valve stem while at it..smh
Just found your channel, never subscribed faster in my life
Glad you started your own channel,wish you all the best bro
Thank you very much
The pacing and editing of these videos is so soothing, goes along with the Ninja's controlled demeanour lol
And for his first solo video brilliant .look how well the wizard has done
I would give up right before starting this process :) well done
I'm glad Johnny is making vids now! Also amazed at how much technical know-how he has (and, sadly, how much BMW's require for a job that sounds like it should be much easier). One thing is for sure - if you are going to roll the dice on an out-of-warranty German car, you need to find a good, honest mechanic who will do it right the first time and be prepared to pay the cost of doing it right! That, or you're going to get used to sending BMWs to the crusher and buying another one every time you hear "engine out."
This guy works like a surgeon. Discovered this channel accidentally what a find!
The filming and editing have greatly improved, nice job ! Thanks for the great content !
Top 5 car video ever posted on CZcams.
I really don't think this could have been done any better. Bravo! This is why it's worth paying a professional. I just wish I lived close by.
If I still had my BMW, I would drive it to this shop to get it done! Very professional!
I am a BMW fan, I have two but this vid to me is the best advertisement for a push rod Chev V8 I have ever seen.
That adjustable steel table is a god sent 👍🏼
What an excellent video, talk about right tool for the right job. I figured this would be a simple valve seal replacement but you went over and above what many techs would do-I really enjoyed watching this video.
There is another way to do this job using the AGA valve stem seal tool. I did it a few weeks ago and rented the tool. You do not need to take the engine out or the camshafts. It is still very time consuming and difficult but doable for an advanced DIYer. This is still a great video though almost like an engine rebuild. It took me about 40 hours to do the job but could probably do it in half if I did it again. After doing the job, I see why shops charge so much.
I just found this channel. Johnny boi! Good to see you out here. Look forward to future content.
Nice detail. For such an inexpensive part, valve seals cause a great deal of work. In a similar project, I handlapped the valve seats. Next time I'll use drill and save myself a lot of time. I like the step-by-step walk through. For novices like me, it really breaks things down well.
Great advice Johnny you are a true BMW ninja
Thank you
Man I had no idea you had a channel. JR. Tyler and Wizard need to pitch your channel. This is awesome! Hope this is a great success for you. You have my full support and I’m painting my garage floor white next weekend. 😷
I hope he’s ready for his channel to blow up like wizard’s, thanks hoovie!!
This is my channel too
This guy probably done it many times, awesome 👌
Not even into BMW’s but love this content. They always say don’t reuse tty head bolts but I’ve got 14k miles with a bigger turbo so far on mine with no issues..reused
Love his work, humble, professional
You are incredibly talented ! Bmw V8's are nightmare. Disassemble basically the whole engine just to change couple of rubbers that should not be problem from the beginning aside form other non ending issues.
bmw never improved those seals since 2002. its just a money maker for the bmw shop
You don't need to do this often. Buy the car for peanuts, get it done. Sort the cooling, transmission, and suspension as needed. You'd still be under 20k - and you will have a stonking healthy 7 series. What does 20k for a new car get you these days...
@@oumaniac
its for people who has big cash , not some dude working part time at walmart trying to do all this with big rims. I seen many that always asking for service and when you give them a price they try to tell you 200 bucks for parts and labor to remove and rebuild motor. I told them 200 is more for parts. I refuse to take in work when they complaining about minor things costing alot.
@@oumaniac
a local guy had a similar issue local bmw wanted 3grand to do the job. I told them its a 3grand job but they want to low ball and offer 450, some people are just odd
@@dcomputers That is true. This kind of toy is for people who have ample play money and/or multiple cars. It's a lot easier today though with Uber and all that. Car breaks down, call a cab quick and easy.
As a mechanic , I’d say your probably 1 in 1000!! Most people would miss out most of those stages in the rebuilding of those heads to make more money😏
Glad to see you on here Johnny and thank you for the helpful information!!!
This channel is exactly what I needed, thanks for creating it!
Been binging on this most excellent channel!
The shop that Harbor Freight built...Great work Sir. A 38 year tech here and would take me several days and quite a lot of restarts on that job. Very well done. A little surprised you did not go for chains and guides while you had it out. Not a BMW guy though. Keep up the good work.
Hey Car Ninja, Really digging your content! Keep putting out videos regularly and just be yourself! The Car Wizard has over 300k subs and if you keep posting you will too!
Hopefully.
Very nice video!!
You guys are getting more and more professional.
This type of videos are going to be one of my favorites to watch!!!
Nice video Johnny. N62 TU2 is an awesome motor once you silicone all the gaskets for a positive seal and change your oil every 8000 miles or once a year. Marvel Mystery Oil keeps the vanos solenoids,chain tensioners and lifters clean of varnish and smooth running from my experience. BMW had poor assembly procedures and guidelines for this awesome motor.
The complexity of contemporary engines astounds! When EV’s take over, techs will look back and marvel at the capabilities of those from days gone by.
Bought an e39 540 with broken timing chain guides... But turns out the chain slipped and bent every single valve. So going to replace all the valves and while slightly different in design from this engine, your video helps a lot. thank you!
Man ..... this dude is serious!
That job best left to the ninja.
Terrific video. Always appreciate watching a pro work.
Great job. I got a quote to do a similar job on an old lexus I’ve owned since it was new. It was $4,000. Something tells me he is charging this customer more than that.
Car Ninja is awesome. Very knowlegeable and clean.
I M P R E S S I V E, as always enjoy watching your masterful skills. Patience is the art of a BMW Mastertech.
My valve stem oil seals are still perfect on my 136,000 miles 20+ year old vauxhall/opel astra 2.0 16v
Very little oil it uses just normal usage.
Uses a lot less than 1 quart every 6,500 miles when i change the oil & filter.
I have put mobil 1 0w 40 fully synthetic from 45,000 miles and used redex/marvel mystery oil engine cleaner since 45,000 miles and had no problems with oil consumption with my car.
Top video this is.(:-)
WOW 🤩 fantastic video thanks ninja...lots of respect !
Johnny. Great to see you started your own channel. One thing I would have gone over in this video is how to check/unclog the secondary air injection ports in the heads. They are so small and with burning oil they can clog up pretty quick.
Super Video! Johnny ist ein Mechaniker, wie man sich ihn nur wünschen kann. Weiter so! Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland...
I'm so psyched that I found your page. Looking forward to listening to you!
This man is a master of his craft, I’d trust him 100% with my car wow
Your the go to guy. Outstanding work Johnny!
I love watching videos where talented people repair complex cars. I also watch these to remember to never buy a BMW V8 of that vintage.
Enjoied your video and the explaining you do, greetings from Belgium
A true master mechanic at work. 😮
Whatever this job costs, it was worth every penny. Jesus, it’s making my head spin thinking about tackling that.
Possibly the worlds greatest mechanic
Clean,nice, thorough operation! Pictures are always great. Awesome job!
This showed up in my suggested videos... I didn’t know he had a channel 🤷🏻♂️
Nice to watch your video's Jonny !
Good in depth explanation of what you're doing. Great stuff 😉
So many broken Beamers, so little time!!!. Well done Jonny.
I would consider buying a BMW if i had a mechanic like Jonny.
First time watcher and subscriber. I just watched several of your videos and really like them. Thanks so much for creating these helpful and interesting videos.
