great video in detail for the euro s50. We are lacking content for this engine on youtube. I gained back about 30wrhp (dyno tested) from having a Dr Vanos rebuilt unit in my euro s50b30

More Moose!!! I love these videos, you can really see the passion for the car and the thorough explanation of what’s happening is so good and unique to the content on this channel. Eurospec all the way!!! Keep up the fantastic work! 😁 oh and I love how Moose is more comfortable in front of the camera now!

Pitter patter, Moose. I watch these videos before the others on this channel. Moose time is limited so I always make sure to get in as much as I can.

Got my double vanos (S50B32) rebuilt this winter by a guy who knows his way around those things, got like 50hp back when I took the car out this spring.
After seeing this, i have no regrets to pay someone a bunch of money to getting it done, way to fiddly for me :) Good work!

Moose is a living legend. If he hasn't EGOT'd yet, it's only a matter of time.

Cheers for the footage on the S50 euro . Looks like your top end is in good condition even the vanos. I'll be rebuilding my engine. Not taking any chances on a 20 year old engine. Most engines I've looked at or owned were rubbish leaking vanos /Rod bearing gone .

Your not a Tool.
Your a Multi-Tool. 😉👍

That Anti-Rattle kit isn't even needed - at least for us lowly single vanos guys. I bought o-rings only from e-bay and adjusted my old 'ring' by sanding until I had slight drag (m3 cam swap). Worked perfect on 2 rebuilds and there was barely any sanding needed. The rattle ring kit is 'harder' metal but who's to say if that will help long term or how much harder it is.

Beisan needs you to do this anyway since they can't predict thickness variation in the stock components. Their first step is to assemble and check clearance, then sand the ring or the spacer until you get the right clearance. Therefore put 2 and 2 together and you just tighten up clearances with sandpaper and your old parts. From what I've read people still need to rebuild their fresh rattle ring vanos with the same frequency since it's the o-ring that goes out first every time. Still going strong a year later for me.

Remove the screen filters from the solenoids. The screens break and gunk up the soldenoid.

Hi! Is neccessary the specific timing tools for the s50b30 timing process? I’m looking for the tools and all of kits seems to fit both s54 and s50 and they are a bit suspicious …
