M52 STROKER ENGINE BUILD PART 1

Hey guys I'm back with the awaited M52 engine build video. this is the second engine I build for my E36 and decided to do a detailed build video. I have tons of content so I decided to split the video in a few parts to not make them too long. In this video I will show you how to prep the engine for paint. hone the cylinders and perform the piston ring gap procedure

Why must your content be so addictive?? Anyone else agree?

[SarahnTuned]

That screwdriver trick is genius! Totally going to try it sometime. 😊

[Boostedlifestyle]

That still sounds kind of tight on the rings for boosts :O I know 2jz likes .020 top ring :O gap

[soundseeker]

It looks like an iron block there and I thought it was the M50 that has the iron block while the M52 is aluminum block? You sure this is an M52?

12:20 'You don't want to force it. If it doesn't go in, it doesn't go in.' Hehe I love your videos man.. always learning something new.

[Thedealershipguy]

That tape trick is fucking awesome. Thanks!

[axeaxe]

Just got my M54B30 rotating assembly in the mail. I'll be looking forward to using your videos as a guide when building my stroker this winter! :)

Also which piston rings did you use?

[codyweaver]

Whole series has been awesome so far this one has my hopes high!

[ashaik]

I literally just say in my chair all relaxed, perfect timing

[elliottclaxton]

Great content as always Alberto definitely hope to see you get on the track with this beauty

[huseyinerdem]

hi alberto.what would you use for the engine parts and how many horsepower do yu expect.thank you.

[mexiquenfrance]

Did you use S52 Camshafts? Estoy haciendo un stroker y me da miedo que los árboles del M3 provoquen el choque de las válvulas con el piston por falta de clearance. Gracias de antemano :)

[diogosoares]

do i have to bore the cylinders to build a stroker if i use the stock pistons? or can i just hone and use the same pistons with the old rings?

[mariuszczerwonka]

ja i moj przyszly szwagier stwierdzilismy ze jest bardzo ladnie

[numinous]

Yay, another video! Been waiting!!

Good on you on opening up the ring-end gap. Gotta find that balance between enough gap for expansion, yet not too much where you're going through a lot of oil. That'll definitely help avoid ring-butting/ringland popping. Regarding timing, why not run an ethanol mix and/or water-methanol injection? That'll keep your cylinders much cooler (helping avoid ring-butting even more--less heat = less expansion) and the extra octane and cooling will allow extra timing with a ton of extra safety too.

Love the video's mate, The ring gaps your running seem very tight for a boosted application, especially one that is going to see track use.

[jacksonlorge]

Alberto, wouldn’t honing your cylinder shave off some of the cylinder making the compression worst???

[SoulEnlightt]

how do you get the rings out of thecylinder with out them poping off? or breaking cause of uneven pressure?

[cct]

Buenas, llamándote Alberto hablas también español? Porque si hicieras el DIY traducido al español aunque sea con voz en off te lo agradecería muchísimo! Un saludo!

[forgingaerospace]

hey alberto i need your advice as well as your opinion i have my m50 engine iron block on my late 94 325i sedan 5 spd its getting to a head gasket issue but not too bad should i get it fixed /replaced with a cutring mls and while its torn apart replace cam, rods and piston from m54b30 making it a stroker or throw in a m52 ? need your help thanks !
