BMW Long Block vs Short Block Explained | S62, S65 & S85 Builds

BMW long block vs short block explained using our Partee Racing S62 engine build as the example. In this video, Peter Partee and Chris Knerr walk through what comes with a Partee Racing BMW long block, what is not included, what a short block actually contains, and what builders need to understand before finishing an engine themselves. A long block is the more complete assembly. A short block is the foundation, but it still requires careful measurement, correct head gasket selection, proper assembly, and a builder who understands the specific BMW M engine being assembled. We cover: • What comes with a Partee Racing long block • What does not come with a long block • What comes with a short block • S62, S65, and S85 engine build considerations • Custom pistons, rods, bearings, crank prep, and block machining • Piston protrusion and head gasket thickness • Why head decking and valve clearance matter • Why Partee Racing prefers long blocks and complete installs • How our level of support changes with the scope of the build Partee Racing builds serious BMW M engines for serious enthusiasts, including S54, S62, S65, and S85 applications.
