Here it is boys… the long awaited E46 M54B30 engine build. So much time and effort has gone in to not only learning how to & building this engine, but also putting together all 30 hours of footage I accumulated while filming this build. So I really hope you enjoy this one. It’s certainly been a historic moment for me haha. But it’s one step closer to getting this E46 back on the road. I’ll be getting back to regular uploads now, apologies for the absence but I wanted to make this video one to remember. Please if you enjoyed this video, show some love, hit that thumbs up and Subscibe if you haven’t already ;) My other socials: Instagram: TikTok: @ ?_t=ZN-8yvc2vCk65O&_r=1 Thanks to everyone who’s helped along the way: Machine shop - Connaught Competition Engines Tools - @e46yhh on Instagram Parts - mainly @hackengineering5586 & Hopwood Motorsport Special thanks to Radium & Powerflex for the sponsored parts Full Build List: Engine Machining: ✅ bore ✅M12 head stud redrill ✅Block deck skimmed ✅Head deck skimmed ✅Crank polish & measure up ✅6 cylinder balance ✅Hack oil tensioner ✅Resurface valve seats ✅Valve guides ✅Parts cleaning Total : £2500 Cylinder head: ✅Cam Lifters (super tech-hack) £924 ✅valve guides (super tech-purepf) £200 ✅Valve locks (super tech-mar) £87 ✅Exhaust Valves (super tech-mar) £539 ✅Intake valves (super tech-mar) £368 ✅Valve seals (super tech-hack) £ ✅Valve springs ti (super tech-mar) £999 ✅Cam lifter housing shouldn’t need to buy ✅Cam caps shouldn’t need to buy ✅Cams (schrick-hack) £1359 ✅Head studs m12 (hopwood) £215 ✅Head gasket (hopwood) £265 Total = £4958 Bottom end: ✅Main bearings (acl-hack) £ ✅Big end bearings (acl-hack) £ ✅Main bearing caps shouldn’t need to buy ✅Crankshaft reconditioned by shop ✅Oil squirters (pure-pf) £67 ✅Pistons & rings (wiseco-hopwood) £965 ✅Rods (bridgeway-hack) £800 ✅Rod bolts (arp2000-hack) included hack ✅Main bearing studs (arp-purepf) £185 Total = £2328 Vanos: ✅Vanos rebuild kit (x8r) £170 ✅Solenoid x2 (eBay) £ Total = £ Valve cover stuff: ✅Aluminium valve cover (eBay) £ ✅Valve cover gasket included in x8r ✅Hose adapter mount (hopwood) £ ✅Coil packs (MMK) £185 ✅Spark plugs (NGK) £20 Oil Stuff: ✅Oil pump billet (hopwood) £395 ✅Oil filter included k64performance ✅Oil cooler (k64performance) £329 ✅O ring for oil pick up tube included hopw ✅Oil pan gasket (hack) £ ✅Sump baffle (vac-hack) £ ✅Oil pump chain tensioner included hopw ✅Oil filter housing gasket included kilfex ✅Billet check valve (kilfex) £ ✅Oil chain upgrade tension (hack) £ ✅Oil distribution block (rallyroad) £ ✅Braided Vanos line (HEL) £42 ✅fitting to allow turbo oil feed £22 ✅Fitting to allow turbo oil return £11 Engine exterior: ✅Power steering reservoir (hack) £135 ✅Power steering bracket (eBay) £ ✅Secondary air pump delete (hack) £54 ✅Under drive pulley kit (turner) £200 ✅Harmonic dampener (vac-hack) £905 ✅Engine mounts (powerflex) £ ✅Timing chain low & tension (febi) £ ✅Timing chain up & tension (febi) £ ✅Timing case gaskets (elring) £ ✅Front main seal (turner) £7 ✅Rear main seal (turner) £119 ✅Water pump (meyle-hack) £ ✅Thermostat (mishimoto) £ ✅Radiator & heater hose £54 ✅Stud & nut kit (hopwood) £ ✅Manifold gaskets (purepf) £ That should be everything :) • Credits: Music: No Limits by ArcticFoxMusic Link to Video:   ~ Business Enquiries: ethancbusinessenq@
