There was no reason for me watching this video, i don't even have a N Engine. But the video was very educational and well explained!

[fixeuskeane]

You sir just received a new subscriber. Man the detailed step by step guide is awesome!

[Decadentwest]

Excellent, one of the best engine explanation videos I’ve ever seen! Congratulations!!

[HenriFribault]

Thanks à lot for this vidéo ! Very helpful ! I found a better way to fit the engine on the engine stand. You can Bolt it from the right side. 44:20

[familiebayrak]

You dirty pump! thats really awesome, thanks a lot for this great video!

[NinerDrivingSchool]

Brilliantly detailed video. Thank you so much.

[kvendev]

if I didn't need a working N43 in my e92, it would be stripped already! amazing work! I'm a mechanic wannabe because of you

[j]

Nice work my friend,

I am currently doing the same job. Accectly the same.

Only thing is I would not put spark plugs and injector coils, first start to check oil pressure and get the oil everywhere! Important before initial start

Good luck

Dziękuję za filmy z N43! Dzieki nim tez składam swoją N43!

[familiebayrak]

Augenmaß, thats perfekt, awesome! Thanks a lot for this great video.

[vcosworth]

Great work 👍👍I've just started stripping my N43, alot of

[WarpDriveM]

Very well done as usual 👏 this engine should run like new

[djmen]

Well i just had to do the sump off job again because i saw from your video that the oil pump was timed up 180 degrees different! So very glad i found these before i fired her up! Aldo now toying with idea of removing vacum pump to give that a flush through like you did. Thats if i can get at it now easily with engine been back in. Sooner do it to remove any crud after what i saw come out of yours. My filter wasnt bust though so might be fine anyway but if i can get to it im pulling it. 👍

[mifo]

good job again! hoping for sumarize tips and recommendations for N43 owners at the final episode :)

One can also use a 9V block battery to actuate the (Vanos) solenoids if somebody doesn't have a power supply handy.

[richardvictor]

The step by step guide is owesome, i have a question though, i am doing timing chain replacement on a similiar car, but everytime i try and turn the engine, it is locking on 2nd revolution., i checked vaves and found number 3 exhaust were bunt, i replaced the 2 valves. the rest of them seem ok but the engine still lock. could it be that there are more bent valves, do ineed to lock the balancing shafts when doing timing.

[vcosworth]

Just recieved the 0.6Nm tool, much appreciated 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[StefD]

Is putting the layers of RTV sealant on the oil pan gasket needed or just extra precaution. I was just going to use the gasket and that’s it

[djmen]

Awesome work man. Im really stressing now because i have a feeling i installed the oil pump wuth the vanes the other way. Ibused the locking tool but 180 degrees difference. I cant 100% remember. Im gonna have to peep through tbe sump if i can see but i think the oickuos gonna cover it. If only i had videod it like you 🙂 oh crap if its 180 different am i going to have to pull it back out? Thats a kick to the nuts if so. Also didnt flush out the vacuum like you did. I didnt have nesty oil like you as filter ok. Heez hope im bot going to gave to pull it again. Plus ive done the crank bolt now too. 🤢
