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
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.
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.
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...
That bushing on the bracket over the oil filter housing comes out in two pieces, through the access hole for the bolt behind you push a flathead screwdriver between the two pieces to separate them then push the rear half of the bushing through the back and front through the front. Can then be reused. No need for fire and hammers lol
The crystals depend on where you are in the world and what your country allows in antifreeze. Here in America that's most likely aluminum added to help seal small holes in the coolant system. It is also the reason why you do not mix different types of coolant such as dec cool and plain green. You get a reaction and it plugs up the works.
Nice to see rebuiding video of the engine. But then again, you can get a good working m43 engine, for cost of the new camshaft set. Don't ask how I know.
Another cause for the crystals in the housing is mixing 2 different types of antifreeze which is not recommended manufactures have different formulas the can react poorly with each other and cause damage and sludge build up to the coolant passages and hoses
Incredible this engine could take so much neglecting.... when a engine is in this state (blacked) it had almost never oil changes. Also that clogged oil pickup tells me a bunch of amateurs used way too much rtv. I always ask myelf that question "Does the manufacturer use this?" no? then leave it as is. i still suspect that gearbox btw. Just try to inspect it! Awesome job. i know alot of these engine's normally end up in the shredder...
14:56 The previous user of the car is likely to put a coolant and instead of this he put drinking water and its components are calcium, and the boiling point of the water is 100 degrees Celsius, and when it boils, the water is dried and lime is formed even inside the radiator

Great content as always from this channel. I enjoyed the content big time, Thank you very much.
The crystals may be the result of a different coolant mixture. The additives used for the production of different coolants may be incompatible. Hi from Russia btw))
If suggest having a “dirty” area assigned in your workshop where all the nasty work goes on like this. Somewhere with floors easy to clean such as tiles (I know they’re more delicate). Something like a man-sized parts cleaner would be perfect!
@@RestoreIt I was thinking a spare plastic boot tray from e30 would be ideal and sit on the stand base underneath. Capture all the muck and spare the floor
Build a sandpit ... four lengths of timber to make a frame and some hd plastic sheeting for a floor , use oil granules instead of sand. Easier to clean up
@@stevebrown5145 great idea but when he decreased the engine with the drill bit wire brush you’d be surprised just how far that crap flies! Best to have a curtained off area which can be hosed down too
sorry but why is this video missing subtitles ?? in all the other videos of this series there are ?? Thanks if you want to give me an answer regarding my question hello from Italy
Hi, do you know if the only diference between m40b16 and m40b18 is the crankshaft? I looked for the tecnical documentation and conrods and pistons have same dimentions, but I don´t know if they are really equals.
Hello, I really like your videos. I will try to remount a M43b19 (successor of M40) and maybe I will make a video on it. this engine is less interesting like M40 but I need to incrase my skills on this M43. Bye
@@RestoreIt Don't swap it, you can make a rorty little devil out of the 4 bangers. Pretty sure there are kits out there which allow the smaller BMW mini supercharger to be fitted. Don't forget the M3 4 pot and F1 turbo motor are the family roots of this motor.
Не понимаю зачем тратить время , силы и средства на то чтобы чем то заливать и чистить блок от ржавчины! Можно ведь приклеить скотч в нужный плоскостях и отпескоструить , результат великолепный и экономия всего!
same thing over and over,I have been watching this channel since you were in the UK,then moved to Spain,and then came back to the UK,and not a single car been finished,so why start another project?
Buy yourself some safety shoes please one day u will need them. Consider buying an ultrasonic cleaner i know they are expensive but they save so much time and dont make such a mess the results are always a miracale.
@@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.
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.
Just a gift for people with an M40--Thank you. Great video.

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

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.
"Which I then removed with fire. And a hammer."
Sounds like he and I share the same philosophy when removing stubborn things.
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.
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!

Only a couple broken bolts, and fortunately they still have stubs sticking out you can grab onto, so hopefully they won't be too difficult to remove.
Excellent work! so excieted, thank you!
The gel like substance in the coolant thermostat etc. will be due to different types of antifreeze being mixed. The chemicals react with each other.
I wonder what Sreten would say about the condition of that engine.
Coooooming up
Lots of swearing. Look at those clogged oil/coolant jackets. My lord.
AND THE RTV!
Everything old is precious👍🙂🍃

Wowow wee wow, been waiting to see your video Steve!
Hey man! Cheers!
How I missed this! Lovely episode... Thanks a lot.
21:47
I knew it
Camshafts wear as I said previously
this is gonna be a great serie..
Try dry ice blasting to clean things up without any chemicals and maintains original surface and texture
Great!!!
I'm looking forward to Episode 2
Really looking forward for the next video man.. great work
Because of the worn out camshaft lobes you should check out if the holes in the oil rail above the shaft are clogged. It happens a lot.
Nice to see rebuiding video of the engine.
But then again, you can get a good working m43 engine, for cost of the new camshaft set.
Don't ask how I know.
Lovely long video. Just what I love to see. 😊👍.
Person asking previous owner that installed lower oil pan: "How much RTV did you use on the pan gasket?"
Owner: "Yes"
that residue on the thermostat is from calcium buildup. ie, mixing antifreeze with tap water. that's the long term effect

Love your work man. Would love to see you do a 190E
It looks like the coolant is mixed with a different type. Also the aluminum is reacting to the coolant not properly being serviced.
holy shit that clutch is ON THERE.
Best youtuber ever
Thanks Waleed! A stretch, but I'll take it
Great work as always 👍🏻👍🏻

Yeyyyyy, 36 minutes of m40. You love to see it. :D
Cheers Spice! Glad to hear it
I was hoping to be with you to help you because working with you is very enjoyable. I wish you all the success and the big profit👍🌹
one man so much work good job respect 👏
Great video. Awesome to see the whole process. Will you also restore the gearbox and install new bearings and seals?
Good job ! Greetings from Poland :)

This is a great idea. I'm still setting the workshop up so will keep this in mind! Thanks man

Real time with suitable Tools.....
So nice, I think this is not power engine, but it very reliable, So my E30 still use M40B16.
ps collant wise... it clerly there was No low/no silicate coolant type used! and it formed eventually.
The alternator bushing is a two piece bushing,can you separate this, me also screwed up
Yeah i noticed that. Took me ages to realise haha
That stuff must be that BLUE DEVIL. Stuff to fix head gaskets
Well done....what a mess that was.
God job. I waiting for white m3 finishing. Please new video for white m3.Thanks.
uff. where did the sealant in the oil pump came from?
There was a spider chilling in the engine block at 33:48
Excellent job m8
Cheers mate thank you!
I saw someone dip the parts in degreaser + powder detergent for 24-48 hrs then pressure wash.. it came out like brand new..
Watching this reminds me of how lovely Volvo Red blocks are.
Way are you cleaning the block befor checking if it's good ?
Can't wait for the Mercedes
Very very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

got an m42 I need to do this with...
Awesome!
Amazing job.
How do you ever get it together again...
soda blast everything :D
I'm thinking dry ice blast! :D
@@RestoreIt LOL thats what i thought but dont know why i wrote soda blast hahahahaha
Can't see in the video how the crankshaft was locked to remove flywheel and crank pulley...
Nice.. awesome work ! Thats a shitload of editing too !
Hopefully we get a few horsepower after the rebuild
It should be like the day it came out of the factory, so about 100hp. Nothing an engine swap can't fix though :D

How can u remember all of these
А ты не хочешь, вместо этого двигателя поставить, другую версию М40В25
Или какие туда устанавливались
I didn't know that these engines ran on powder coolant.
This poor engine has been beat to death. Will be nice to see it get some TLC finally.
Yay finally👌👍🚗
Sorry its late!

Before to tops off, im thinking Stuck inlet valve and broken rings....................wait and see
I was in such a hurry to make the video I haven't had a a chance to have a good look at the rings yet. All to come!
@@RestoreIt Specifically Cyl 1
Is this engine even worth to restore?
11:21 WTF there is a shock on the engine...?
Have you ever heard of google
@@Intelcroa That was a rhetorical question mate
I remember when u got the car and said, it won't be a "big restoration" 😂😂😂 nice video, good luck my friend!

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?
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 !
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
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...
