This is my 1998 BMW E39 520i single vanos.
Engine overheated and blew a head gasket. I tried replacing the gasket but threads on my block stripped. Using a time-sert kit I repaired the threads and in this episode I'm putting it all back together.

Nice, you're back. Keep the content coming. I have a 96 523i that am hopefully going to start restoring next year
@@rondennismwenda355 Thank you! Good luck with your project!
Armin, nice to see you back again! Hope to see some additional updates on this as well as the 924.
Thank you for watching Jeff. Yeah, I'm working on a few videos at the moment. Next few will be 924 videos.
Dang, that’s a lot of hydraulic lifters! 😂 Nice trick with the nylon strap to keep them in place during installation. I could almost feel your anxiety when torquing the head down, seems like the stud treads are holding up though. Great work!
Luckily I reused old ones. I don't even want to imagine the cost od that many lifters. I had a better trick with magnets and a thin metal rod but I lost my magnests haha Yeah, I was stressing hard, but they appear to work fine, which is a relief.
Good to see you back Master :)
Good to be back!
i'm new on your chanel, watching you from france.
Very glad to find your videos, great job and looking forward to the next.
Thanks for the share !
Thank you!
Bravo majstore! Bas me zanima zbog cega radi ovako a sve novo.
Hvala. Odmorit cu koji dan pa cu testirati sve redom. Moguce da mi nije nalego dobro neki dihtung oko usisne grane pa ulazi zrak.
what engine???
M52b20
@@RestorationApprentice My e39 is m52b25 I wonder if it is possible to increase the horsepower?
@@shalvamamaiashvili9065 I guess it possible but very expensive and a lot of work hours. With different cams, manifold and a tune. The cheapest option is to try finding an used b30 or b28 engine.
@@RestorationApprentice As a professional, I ask you, is the M52B28 engine a good engine?
@@shalvamamaiashvili9065 I'm no expert but single vanos M52B28 is regarded as one of the best BMW engines.
