Channel update: New vehicles, format improvement

Posted on October 30, 2022 by AJ

Time to get serious!

The plan from here on out is to try and be good about recording, editing and uploading at least a video a week. In order to do that (and stand a chance of keeping up with things), it’s time to bring everyone up to speed with the garage 🙂

Quick intro to a couple of new vehicles and then updates on platforms you have seen before. After this I will feel good about going forward!

E60 V10 M5 Rod Bearings in 15 Minutes!

Posted on October 9, 2022 by AJ

BMW E60 M5: Rod Bearings How To

This is a mammoth job! I purchased the kit from FCPEuro.com It was missing a gasket for the oil filter pickup (I really hope they include it in the future) but apart from that it was top notch. 

It’s not a complete how to video on the BMW M5 rod bearings but a time lapse of what is required. I know when I was thinking about doing this job I wasn’t really sure what I was getting myself in for. I wanted to create a video that would help someone understand what is involved to see if they wanted to do it. 

I also uncover how to set backlash correctly on the VANOS high pressure pumps. All of the videos and descriptions I found out there were very misleading and you might end up with too much backlash. Enjoy!
