  • This week, we strip down the engine from my BMW S1000RR race bike to show you why it failed at Cadwell Park last year, and, ultimately, stopped me from finishing in second place in the championship.

    1 Becuase it’s fun watching someone explain something that’s being taken apart
    2 because of all the extra technical data not just From the bmw motor aspect but overall like the rpm explanation

    Brilliant contents as always. What dawned on me when looking at the s1000rr engine being stripped is that the engineering skill and design expertise will be utterly eradicated once the full switch to electric takes over. These engines are subject to the collective skills and ingenuity of engineers, designers and machinists who develop and test the fruits of their labour so we can ride. All this is lost when transportation is nothing more than glorified milk floats. A real shame and a key part of many people’s lives is brought to an end by politicians promoting a switch to a technology which doesn’t sort the issue in any case. Gutted.

    The suzuki system for VVTI is quite a clever design, it uses ball bearings and centrefuge to adjust cam timing.
    I can lend you my Ducati L2 engine if you want to break it down, explain the desmo system and check clearences if you want.......anything to avoid the desmo service cost 😂
    Yamaha developed the LFA engine , i guess thats why it can rev out like it does.

    Good stuff.
    Great lesson about oil temp. In the Trans Am series, we had engine builders that used .0007 main clearance. You couldn't even START those engines without having the oil above 200F.

    • @Hypersonik
      @Hypersonik Před 9 měsíci +1

      The thing is that's a road engine, not a race engine. If you look at Motul 300v it has no approvals and just has nonsense about 'beyond approvals'. Use a race oil in a race engine by all means, but that engine is an off the shelf engine. Manufacturers spend hundreds of thousands on oil and engine testing so thinking you know better than them would be a mistake, yet many people do.

    Judging by the way that the bearings are progressively worn I think that there is a fundamental inadequacy in the lubrication system that was highlighted by low oil temp.No surprise in a BMW.

  • @timetraveller885
    @timetraveller885 Před 9 měsíci +2

    It's because of the added Pressure on that Bearing due to the Timing Chain Pressure, which is located Directly in Front of that Failed Bearing!

    I'm always horrified by the number of parts a full engine consists off.
    Remember my 100cc 2-stroke air-cooled kart engine and how simple it was.
    Add in valves and cams and water cooling and oil cooling and pumps and gearbox and whatnot and the complexity of it shoots off the roof.
    Now he has to put it all back together.
    It's like building a scale model kit, it's a lot of parts and looks like you have a long road ahead but you get to it and soon enough you put the last piece in.

    My 2010 blew up at 21000~ miles 2 months after I bought it. Was told the camshaft main bearing or shell (still learning) grinded out. I have yet to open it to confirm so I'll probably do something mechanical for the first time in my life and crack it open with a buddy. There's now a 2013 motor in it and i am going to give up on my dream bike if it blows up again.

    The first car that I have had with both water and oil temp is a 997.2 Carrera 2S. Water temp is up to temp within a couple of miles of leaving my house, and the oil temp does not reach operating temperature until double that distance… made me wonder how the hell my bikes in the past have all held together

      @2639263926392639 Před 9 měsíci

      In good spirit. I.suspect somethings amiss here. The duration for warming that much oil sounds just too short. Measurmenta of atandalone oil temp and pressure, various 6 cyl bmw.. about 10 12 miles of light driving before 7l of oil is warm. Longer in winter. Longer again if the capacity is 10 to 12l. I wonder how accurate the gauge is? Pressure and temp gauges are normally damped as true fluctuations with load worry most customers, ao the temps may be 'jiggled' to stop worried phone calls.

    question for you what stand are you using for the motorcycle engines? been trying to find one that will take my liter bike engine for a minute since I refresh it once a year for racing lol

    Loving the bike content. How much do you reckon you’re talking in parts cost v resale value once it’s back together?

      With how common this generation BMW is with racers and trackday riders yes it will cost a pretty penny in parts but re sale is probably quite high due to demand, I'm guessing.... 🤔 But if someone was to pay an engine builder to do it and sell it on probably not worth it with labour cost. Lucky Ricky's labour is 'free' to himself. Although still takes time away from other jobs

      Yeah these seem to float around 3-5k as good engines.
      If I can make a bit back against the repair and replacement engine then it’s better than it being a paperweight like it has been this past year!

    Admittedly I’m not a bike guy , but I have always admired the quality of the engineering, even aesthetically they are superb ( apart from Harleys 🫣) . Any chance of a looks at the valve train when you return please .
    Didn’t think 6K was bad for a full engine and box , compared to a car it’s a bargain. We will be 30 big ones by the time we’ve built our car engine and sequential box etc and that’s with a used standard BMW S58 lump .
    On the lookout for a Motec M142 if you have a spare floating around?

    I know you are a little hesitant to put bike content up as the stats tell you it's not as popular as your usual output ...... personally, I thought it was fantastic! I was hooked from start to finish.
