Rogan+Harris "Peak Car"

[bimmerfan08]

The S65 isn't much more complex than the S54, just a total PIA to so the same task because its a V8. I'd argue the S65 a little less maintenance intensive since there are no valve adjustments and doesn't have the complex VANOS issues. There are other relative simple to fix issues...they just cost a lot more.

I've thought about whording S54s...with all of the swaps going on I think motors are going to be $$$ in the future. Since 2016-2019, these motors have gone from about $2500-$3000 to about $4000 for a motor in similar condition.

I've had this thought, too. The supply of S54s is only going to continue to dwindle.

From what Sreten(?) says and also others have experienced the main bearings also tear themselves up. Time to rebuild double the bearings!

But, I agree not being more complex, but a lot more work and a lot less space. That's how I felt working on my s85.

Can confirm A LOT more work! lol. Worked on my dad’s S65 a few times and you have to remove everything to do anything. A great car though!

Maybe Joe isn’t wrong about this. But think about everything else he’s chimed in on over the last few years before placing too much value on a plug from him, on anything.

He's been correct about the vast majority of "things", so yes, his plug, as well as Mr. Harris's, is of very high value. It's an ironic time we live in when Mr. Rogan, a podcaster, provides far more accurate health and world information than the traditional "news" sources.

The intake manifold is a little trickier.

The S65 is a PIA. I was a doing a valve cover gasket on the pass side. I was backing out the back corner nut and the ratchet got wedged against the AC line. But I couldn't get the nut back on. So I had to lower the engine to get the tool out. It's a weird place because I couldn't get a short socket or a flex joint in there.

Let's not mention all the hoses on the front of the front subframe. Sorting them out after a rod bearing job took as long as doing the damned rod bearings!

This is the most laughable thing I've read in a while.

Have you considered taking a long walk off a short pier?

People hating on Rogan must be the individuals who watch CNN and are on their 10th Covid booster shot.

Sure, sometimes he’s wrong.. but he is real and genuine unlike the mainstream sold outs.

Wow this thread took a much different turn than I expected haha

I find it amazing how emotionally charged some people can get on a public forum, and actually suggest that people should get hurt for expressing their opinions. It’s ok to disagree. But to suggest harm on someone is just outrageous. As Rogan says, never read the comments haha

Joe Rogan .. a weakling’s idea of a “real man” and a dumb person’s idea of a smart person wrapped into one guy.

Harris seems cool.

I’m not a Joe Rogan schill but the fact that he is willing to have uncofrmtable conversations with ‘cancelled’ / taboo individuals is enough for me to have more respect for him vs. nearly 100% of people in the media.
