We’ve got a way to save our Cheap BMW i8 Supercar’s Blown Engine without replacing it and spending over $10,000 on a new one, but will it work? Also, Rich sends Sam something to help him along the way; credit goes to Anthony Jeselnik who created this bit!

You should engine swap used SxS can-am Maverick x3 turbo rr they have 195hp and can be modified to handle 500hp
Where do you buy your BMW parts
Save me Obeiwan, you're my only hope ! lol
you guys need a tv show together. Never saw such great chemistry.
That machine shop heard BMW I8 and just didn’t want to get involved. He stopped at .005â€ÂÂ. There is no problem with taking .010†off a head. Typical piston to valve clearance is at least .080-.100†so you aren’t going to crash the valves into the heads, and while the cam timing will be altered, it won’t be by more than a few degrees, which the computer and the variable valve timing system can easily compensate for, and even if it couldn’t, you could degree the cams by filing away some of the keyway to be able to adjust it back into spec.
That look like xxxtention car not going to lie
5 thou is nothing, just chop it down, the machine shop just didn't want to be responsible for any potential problems. Which there won't be.
A 'supercar' with a 3 cylinder engine?
Dude, how many frickin videos you going to post for this piece of crap?
If a car has interchangeable parts with a Mini Cooper, it's NOT A SUPERCAR! 🤣😂 You make enough money on this channel alone to easily pay for a $10k motor, quit hamming it up and creating fake drama you schmuck. EDIT: This guy has Adam Gase eyes.
is it the " squish?" can you add shimms? welding? can you electro depas…. something that builds metal?
EPIPHANY! Weld the cylinder to the block! easy fix?
nobody uses inches any more, it was obsolete in 1972
As a ford guy….
Do an LS swap 🤣
I wish you can skip what that cylinder head guy say and resurface it away…I bet you it would probably be ok.
only 760k views? those are rookie numbers. you subscribers are miserable
can u please do an update on the Ferrari 360?!
FunFact, did anyone els see a spirit orb fly next that dude on his left when he starts laughing about the book at 2:17 .. Don't laugh to hard cause it was heard 🙂
Ok I smell a rat ! Nobody but nobody has this much car trouble . nice try . 😄
please.. that flute/guitar instrumental.. i think its s remix of somthing.. please..what is is called??
so non car mechanic question. would it have been possible to have machined the head and block down then used some sort of a shaped plate as say a shim to equal the original manufactured tolerance on piston travel distance? why or why not.
Hylomar.
LET'Z GOOOOOOOO MI GUY
I've heard of this same story with the book… love these storiez.
another often overlooked issue with warped head id the the bottom surface isn't the only dimension that changes. The cam journals are line bored as a set, when the heat warps the head it also moves the cam journal out of alignment slightly and those should also be checked for alignment if the warpage is significant. Saw this a in 90s Honda engines and larger straight 6 like the RB or 2J that were ran too hot.
that was like 1mm thick caliber used with the block 😀 normally should use 0.1 mm thick
Oh my youthful years when I would DUI my straight edge
Don't be a fool like so many guys that think downshifting an engine with the rpms low to engine brake is cool. That's the biggest head gasket blower anywhere. It's common to have different head gasket thicknesses. Just shave the head. Make sure you get some rpms up before letting out the clutch downshifting.
Sam has a dui
This is a rare car, you know almost certainly someone will still be driving it in 50 years time, so following that line of logic it's probably not going to be with this engine, my point is someone at some point in the future is going to bite the bullet and replace the engine. Just look at how much the original M1 is going for, I mean the 70's sports car here, and that'll give you an idea of what these will be worth in 10-15 or 20 years time.
.005" is too much to surface on the head?…. lol 😆they sure as hell don't build them like they use too. 🤣
DUUUUUUUDE!!! You have the best ad rolls EVER! Seriously, you continue the show and still have solid product placement. Radio product placements SUCK compared to your efforts. I seriously have stopped listening to live radio, decades ago, because of their suck-ass product chats. On top of that all, your videos are friggin' solid. You have my vote for being a great director.
P.S.: Just saw GTOger's comment and upvoted. This is entertainment.
You have me yelling at the screen. "READ THE BIBLE!" xD
11:16 I see you also thought, "Fuck it ill just get a Cooper Motor and turbo charge it!" LMAO
4:31 “IS THAT A SUPRAAAAAAA???!!!â€ÂÂ
Jeselnik did the bible joke using his grandmother.
I like Rich.
"Dark Snake Ln" and "Floor Patch Blvd" lol
Your episodes difficult to follow. Not labelled sequentially, have to hunt for next episode. So far can't find the episode with the actual engine rebuild.
