All of us forum fellas appreciate your hard work and attention to detail. Personally I love watching your videos. Not something I'm able to accomplish, but your videos make me more familiar with n52's which I have.

Keep up the good work brother, cheers

PS - you have the patience of a saint

I really appreciate your kind comment... I learned the hard way to have patience when working on cars without the proper tools or a lift... because you make mistakes and have to do things 2 or 3 times... but anything is possible, you just gotta be creative when you encounter problems and put your mind to it!

I hope these videos can help others plan out their rebuilds before jumping in like I did... the info about the n52 was scarce so I wanted to share everything I learned along the way.

Send me a message on instagram @buildanddrive_

Cheers.

This is super impressive! What would you estimate your total part cost at to-date? Hours of labor?

this is interesting. Im considering doing this since my engine burns a quart of oil every 600 miles. does your engine still burn oil after doing this rebuild?
