In this episode, I remove everything from the block of the M40B16 to begin the full, top to bottom, inside out restoration of the 316i touring's engine in coming episodes.
My mic was just broken so might hear some unwanted bass noises in the voice over. (there's very little of it in this episode anyway) If you're listening to this on a speaker system, turn the bass down until the annoying background bass goes away. Sorry for the annoyance!

I remember when u got the car and said, it won't be a "big restoration" 😂😂😂 nice video, good luck my friend!
The crystals are dried up residues from the coolant mixing with aluminium oxide.
When not dried up, its actually a kind of goo clogging up the hoses and thermostat
Cheers K M, It will still kind of gooey, but awful stuff either way!
how do you clean it ?
Before reading this I was wondering if the person had been using tap water instead of distilled with the coolant.
@@crystaldragon141 I was thinking the same thing!
Sometimes it's also some anti leaking aditive product you can add to your coolant
Just a gift for people with an M40--Thank you. Great video.
"Which I then removed with fire and a hammer" .. the best way
fire makes everything easier :D
@@RestoreIt actually, that bushing is split, and you can kinda push it out from the middle to both sides, so you can access that bolt underneath. i remember scratching my head like you did trying to figure it out, and when i moved the block around, one half of the bushing just fell out.
Wait, there is another way?
Awsome.
Thanks Tito4re!
@Tito4re Hold up, i used to watch your Videos quite a lot a few years back :) What happened, why did you stop uploading?
@@RestoreIt Is the oil pump internal with the lower control housing?
Amazing man. Love the journey! BTW, thank you for labeling parts as they show up! Honestly it's such a small thing that goes such a long way. You are the man!
Your editing and video production remain among the highest on CZcams, restoration videos or otherwise. Thank you, sir.
Really nice. This helps a lot to understand the components of the engine and how to do the tear down. Can’t wait for the 2nd episode to see the fresh and newly cleaned engine being built up again.
Also it's an example why "Distilled water" not tap water should be used with coolant.
Best is "waterless" or premix.
For sure... I was thinking that was part of the problem.
modern antifreeze can be mixed with tap water. But, i use distilled still. i can sleep in peace :)
Evan's waterless coolant never change no corrosion lifetime warranty
Their going to boil the block anyway
This channel just keeps on getting better and better. Love your work!
Methodical and organised as usual. It looks to have had a hard and neglected life. I can't believe all that stuff in the oil pump inlet. It seems you came along at just the right time 😊👍
Good to see there's still people fixing stuff instead of just throwing everything directly in the trash. I just feel sorry for people who do not want to learn. It's a choice, plain and simple.
"Which I then removed with fire. And a hammer."
Sounds like he and I share the same philosophy when removing stubborn things.
man, im so excited for part II ! best cliffhangers on yt!
Haha cheers Callon!
It's amazing to see an engine together & then it's in pieces! Great job & I can't wait for the next video!
I added a new sound to my satisfying sounds list:
1. Breaking of morning ice crust on a puddle
2. Popping bubble wrap.
+ 3. Squeaky click when you start screwing off an old rusty bolt.
Must say for the mountain of work you do, one of the few times I’ve seen you snap a bolt. Keep it up m8!
That camshaft is toast
Great video as always. You've inspired me to start rebuilding the M42 that's been collecting dust in my garage for the past two years.
Always impresed by the quality of your videos. I´m hyped for the outcome and the journey to get there.
How many first there are??? 😂😂😂😂 Oh boy here comes another great video to start a great weekend, love this engine restorations.
A strong third from you man. Cheers!
Awesome job as always! Looking forward to the next episode!
Great lighting in this episode - the dirt comes alive!
Hello from Belarus🤚
I have e30 with m40 too, but saloon.
And is't so interesting and helpfull watch your videos about m40.
Keep it up🤘
This is exactly my engine and you just uploaded this recently, i feel blessed
That was in a pretty rough state! I'm surprised it ran at all. Definitely in need of a rebuild, I'm looking forward to seeing it come back together.
How I missed this! Lovely episode... Thanks a lot.
This is way much satisfying to watch for me , the way you work and technique and most importantly the tear down as it should be , I'm excited for part two , btw you get a new happy sub 😀👍
Great stuff and loved watching the tear-down! This engine has seen a lot of hard miles. The junk stuck in the oil pump was staggering!
I could watch you work for hours.
Looking forward to the cleaning and paint of this engine.
So therapeutic my restore it armchair spannering sessions great vid can’t wait to see the finished before and after pics - fantastic 👍
Really looking forward for the next video man.. great work
You are a professional in both working and editing your videos and definitely deserve a subscription. Keep up the good work mate
I love your work. You work with sincerity. Your work is very clean, meticulous and tidy
Love your vídeos
Thanks Marisa!
Thank you very much for this video.
I'll definitely use it and pt 2 for reference when I strip mine this winter, it's running a lot better than yours was at first thankfully!
There'll be no excuse for headscratching thanks to how clear and free of bull this was, unlike many maintenance videos.
Brilliant
Great video mate, a lot of work, and the best thing is you have a video to play when you can't remember where everything goes back.
Love the attention to detail with removal!!!!!
great job, that is really awesome work. can't wait for the next one.
Great!!!
I'm looking forward to Episode 2
I am so pumped for this!
You I just find it amusing the gaskets all of them, look so much better than the parts themselves, they weren't eaten away from the inside out nor the outside in with all that corrosion... I chuckled at that...so funny and weird to see science like this every once in a while.
Barring the oil sump pump that one doesnt count....cause that isnt a gasket as much as goo.
You really need to invest in a good compressed air impact gun, I think it would be easier for you to work
Very good point. I keep thinking I'm not allowed to make that sort of noise after years of worrying about it. Literally ordering one right now cheers!
@@RestoreIt Wait why wouldnt you be allowed to use a impact gun?
@@FluePeak I might be because it is very powerful and it can brake bolts some times, I don't really know.
@@ulyssepoulain4817 Yeah that makes sense
@@RestoreIt Really love your content man, looking forward to the next episode !
Excellent work! so excieted, thank you!
Excellent restoration video
I was thinking to rebuild e30 m40 engine but I have not so much experience with German engine so thanky bro for every knowledge you give us 💓💓💓✔✔✔👍👍👍👊👊💕💕💕💓💓✔✔👍👍👊👍👍✔✔✔✔
AWESOME video mate! Thanks
PERFECT! love every video, this is so interesting! THANK YOU!
Wow this is the first of your videos I have seen but i am very impresses really interesting and educational. Thank you.
Great! Love those mechanics episodes over a bodyworks.
Wowow wee wow, been waiting to see your video Steve!
Hey man! Cheers!
Excellent video - thank you! Cheers!
Lovely long video. Just what I love to see. 😊👍.
Great video man, thank you. Well done
Those crystals (and similar) are often caused by stuff like dissolved calcium from hard water when you use tap water, etc. It's why a lot of people now use de-ionised/filtered water to mix with antifreeze. If the engine is in constant use it doesn't build up like that.
Thanks for letting me know mrman!
fairly sure that it, its a solid, hard yellowy rock that forms on the surface, not a gooey looking crystal.
Great work as always 👍🏻👍🏻
Great content as always from this channel. I enjoyed the content big time, Thank you very much.
Watching you from your start, pretty cool videos 👍👍👍
Your videos are inspiring. Fearless! That engine has had a hard life - it's lucky to find you. I'd love to see you restore a BMW 2002 one day.
I know nothing about cars but love watching your videos ☺️
So nice to watch! Very very well done! Greetings /Peter
this is gonna be a great serie..
Enjoyed this alot!
14:41 - Removing the thermostat pipe - that happens when you mix two coolants that don't go with each other. they are lists what coolants you can mix and not.
True dat - BMW uses blue/green (Glysantin G48), if mixed with red/pink (Glysantin G12), than this happens.
We are waiting for more! 👍
I feel better knowing this engine will get restored.
Top work man!
one man so much work good job respect 👏
I think this series will come in handy when I am restoring my M43B18, they are different but in a few ways similar
couple things to help,
When using a rattle gun, try to use as little extensions and adapters as possible, all those joints absorb the shocks
use rattle guns on stuck bolts, generally thell remove them without snapping them
and use the breaker bar more, putting loads of load on ratchets isnt a great idea
Nice video cant wait for part two!
Awesome. Just thank you. I drive an E30 318i Cabriolet and maybe in the future I want to restore my m40 by myself. Good video.
After two years, I don't want to restore it by myself 😂 well, maybe. But not now.
I think, separating a mother with her child is easier than that moter giving up it`s gearbox...🥵 a Big like from me.Luv your vids.Oh yes....Thanx for not playing stupid music in your vids...
Как всегда - красота! Аж глаз радуется!
почему там 5 гнезд на распределителе?
@@andreikashin 1 провод приходит от катушки и 4 уходит на цилиндры. Как у всех.
I recently got myself an e30 with a m40, this inspired me to restore it as well.
The stuff that came put of the oil pump pickup was crazy. I wonder if thats why the camshaft and main bearings looked pretty scored up? Great work! love the content!
DEF
That motor definitely needs rebuilding. Great video
Love your work man. Would love to see you do a 190E
Awesome video bud 👍 makes me miss the old days, meeting up with mates and working on cars, stripping engines and making everything better.........or in my case sometimes worse. Good job bud 👍
Great watch with a cuppa!
If you will manage to save that engine...you will be the next Marvel superhero! But I am watching you for more than 1 year and I know you can do it!
Good job ! Greetings from Poland :)
Superb. I am so envious! My project needs some enthusiasm, and I think I got a little by osmosis here...
Excellent work men i like your videos.
Excellent job m8
Cheers mate thank you!
Yes very nice i Love it can t wait on the next Part best Videos ever ❤️👍❤️👍
Interesting, great job 👍.Cheers
Thanks Sony!
Back to old days. Great
Hope it wasn"t too painful in the editing process with all of the sub-task when I see the number of them ;). By the way, small tip, in case of rounded allen, an other way for extract them consist to "forced" a torx of +- equivalent size, more radical but can save some time.
So, always a pleasure to follow your adventures and thanks to share them, I finally since last summer begin to go in the right way , sadly not with my dream car, an E30 316 carb^^ (yep their strange), but almost the same period! Good continuation form eastern France ;)!
greetings from Turkey E30❤️
Wellcom in Algeria
Thenks for this video's
This's a good job
very nice video!
Love your content! Thank you!
I actually need to replace the plastic coolant pipe (and O ring) thats attached to the block (at 11:45). Next project for my m42.
Dirty beat up vans are a vibe when working on an engine. Love the aesthetic
Thanks mate, all part of the look
Anti-freeze makes some weird crystals sometimes.... And that's some very very old anti-freeze probably some ancient weird formula -.-'
If it was oil it old be a watery mud like texture.
Maybe its just that then. I feel like this engine has never been looked after so it might be the case...
Nice video again! Small tip for the next time, the caps which hold the camshaft are line bored together with the head, so it's good practice to keep the caps in the right place.
Nice job
That crystallized mess in the thermostat is just the result of tap water being used in the cooling system, the calcium just builds up and makes a mess. I saw the same thing in an M20 that I re-sealed for a customer at my shop last week.
Hi Hello from Argentina. Your video is a great example.
Enjoyed ❤
Very good!
