- In this video, we remove the m62 short block from Wesley’s E39 BMW 540i. After full disassembly and inspection, the block gets bored and sleeved for strength.

damn wish I could sleeve engines in my back yard. Keep it up guys!
This is my second video and you are now my new favorite channel. Keep up the awesome work!
Listening to the internet I thought I had no options with my m62 if it came down to rebuilding, but you showed me its possible. Everyone says, they are aluminum, if they go bad they are scrap. Maybe one day I will get to boosting!
This is so awesome, I can't believe I never saw it until now!
This will be sick
Thanks for doing this! I love my M62, the previous owner replaced those plastic timing chain guides and after reassembly, it runs like a top, stout and with the cats/resonator delete, sounds like the flat plane god it is. Ignoring the sound of that guide starting to fail will cost you the motor unless you are as skilled and fearless as The Racing Rejects. Take care of it and you'll easily top 220,000 miles just like I just did. Gotta catch up and see how your e39 540i is doing in May 2020
kinda scared to do them my vanos makes noise and my x5 has 170,000 miles when did yours go and can you save the engine
The M62 does not have a flat plane crank, it's cross plane.
Hi there. Nice videos. Do you remember what piston ring set you used ? When you put sleeves on the engine you cannot use the oem piston ring set or can you?
Nice work guys, I hope you have more videos of the engine rebuild. Retrofitting the M60 duplex valve chain, guides and mechanism would have made for a much more durable fix. The M62 valve chain guides are only good for 100-120K miles. Great content!
You are exactly right, thats the next step. Thanks for watching!
Racing Rejects I have a M62tu shortblock, M60 heads, cams and timming chain/GEAR set-up in a manual E34. Eliminated the vanos and problematic TU timming guides, with the M60 head/valavetrain swap. Reflashed the DME with no rev limiter . . . It revs until it floats the valves, at about 9300rpm.
I can't break it.
Boost is next. These engines have artillery grade durability and you should be able to handle 1000hp with the cylinder liners
from what I've researched.
@@cruzinezy1968 if only I can hire you to boost my engine!
Holy shit
You guys are awesome!
excellent video ,where do you get the sleeves?
Maybe you can help me here. I have an e53 4.6 and here in canada is hard to get an engine or even a block so i was thinking of using a 4.4 block and bore the cylinders.is that the only difference between the 4.4 and 4.6 or there’s something else different with the block any help will be great. Thank you
hey, where did u guys fasten the engine stand to the block?
What are your thoughts on reusing a block with similar but better and less deep sleeve damage on a few cylinders? Thanks! Nice video too
It’s possible that the damage could be cleaned up by boring the block, but you would have to have the cylinders etched to expose the silica of the Alusil. The exposed silica leaves a durable finish that retains the oil on the cylinder wall to lube the piston rings. If you want to retain your stock pistons then sleeving the block is the only option.
Can be done by following the sunnen Process but a lot harder than many understand. Too little you don’t hold enough oil, too much and you kill the piston rings.
It’s art and science. There is a reason these tend to use oil.
Where can I get 1 of those machines
My Mechanic got a little jittery about goin back together since the head gaskets seem ok but it wasnt put together properly. Its 3.5 but taken off world setting it is just fucking awesome. must be pushing over 300 if me and cuz make 2 tons in the e38 and we do 0-60 in 6 sec. no back boxes it works, M62 rules
Nah it's okay, I didn't hope for an update or anything...
My 4.6is Alusil block was gone, we couldn’t sleeve the engine in the U.K. because of the pistons not working with iron sleeves. Had to find another block to swap in.
OEM pistons doesn't working with iron sleeves? why?
Tomáš Matal 4.6is engine doesn’t have iron sleeves, the block is made of Alusil.
Tomáš Matal The pistons have a coating that don’t work with iron, as far as I’m aware that is.
@@axlerose4744 yes i know i have my M62B44TU sleeved and using OEM pistons and it works. SO why don't you say that pistons doesn't working with iron sleeves?
@@axlerose4744 ah so this is the reason my 1st and 5th cylinders are scratched :D and what about forged pistons?
Do you do m62 sleeves install for customers?
steelers412 I can. Email us at theracerejects@gmail.com
What thickness sleeves did you use for this i need to do it lol
Not sure on the thickness but I believe they are Melling sleeves for a Toyota 22r cut to size.
@@RacingRejects top man thank you for the reply that good help an ive managed to get the thickness an now get some custom ones made hopefully they will hold the boost i wanna chuck at it
Recently trying to fix my block, and my head machine shop guy told me he wouldn't sleeve the block. It has a coating??
That is a common misconception. Unlike the Nikisil used in M60 engines, which is a coating, the entire M62 engine block is made of Alusil. Alusil is a hypereutectic alloy that once etched creates a hard surface of silicone. The etched surface reduces wear and retains oil. It is possible to bore an M62 block and have the cylinders etched, but we chose to use iron sleeves for added strength and less cost since we could add the sleeves in our back yard. That being said, I don’t see why you would have a problem adding sleeves to a Nikisil block like the M60 either.
The issue is the amount of material in that block. Not as bad as the m motor, but it makes shops weary to work on them.
@@RacingRejects nice video. What piston rings are you using? Since you are using steel sleeves in a alusil block! I am about to rebuild my m62 in my x5. Again. Nice video
Nicasil block??
Alusil
Concerned spectator here, isn't silicon carbide debris really dangerous to inhale?
Alusil is just a patent for the way they apply the silicon carbide in the cylinder.
Either ways you shouldn't want to breathe that stuff in.
I enjoy your videos, stay safe.
"Alusil" is simply an aluminum alloy with high silicon content from which the entire block is cast, alusil is not a plating and it's no more dangerous to machine than any other aluminum alloy. Once the alusil bores are honed to size there's an additional step using a paste (Sunnen AN-30) to remove only the aluminum at a microscopic level and leave the silicon exposed for the rings to ride on.
What pistons are you using? Oem?
Yes the original pistons were re used unless they were damaged.
@@RacingRejects That's nice. I didn't know they would be compatible with steel liners.
Yeah they work great. There are aluminum pistons in every iron block motor ever made, as well as every aluminum motor with steel sleeves.
@@RacingRejects Thanks that's good to know. ... how did this ever pan out ? Were there any updates? What rings did you use? OEM? Sorry for so many questions I'm just very interested that this is possible. Gives me a sense of hope so if I ever have to rebuild my m62 due to failure or upgrade it's comforting to see that there are options.
@@1malditoPerro we were sponsored by total seal for the piston rings and the car currently runs great. Hopefully the next video will be up on it soon. Thanks for the questions, we enjoy viewer feedback
why are u wearing hats in closed doors?
Because we’re in a machine shop not a church or a funeral home.
