Tip: at around 13:17 you are punching the holes with the gasket paper on the vise. This will definitely blunt your punch! Use wood or better yet a piece of Ertalon to put under the paper. Ertalon is hard enough to allow a good cut with 1-2 knocks AND soft enough to let the sharp edge go slightly through without damaging it!
Good point Robert! It's like using a glass cutting board when slicing veggies. The glass will actually dull your knife over time because glass is harder than steel.
Beautiful job! It's most likely a lot more work to film this way, but this style of video takes me back to some of your original work. Close-ups, slow panning; I love it.
Empressive job dude. The moment when u forgot to put the intake manifold gasket... You are doing great work I also love to restore cars I maintain my car by my own.... And thanks for uploading the video early as I demand in previous video.... Love from Pakistan...
Love your videos. Have you seen all these new dry ice cleaning systems? They might be worthwhile to look at for future projects where you might not want to repaint something.
This is terrific content and I'm very jealous of the space you have! Where are the videos continuing the build? I can't seem to find them for this engine?
please send me the link to part 5 and 6 of the rest of this restoration . it has been very helpful and this has been the most complete e30 m40 316i engine rebuild iv found on UA-cam and has been extremely detailed .
Hi! Nice video as always. I am curious about one thing. Do you need to do some kind of paperwork to get that "new" engine in your car and be streatable?
Have you priced a laser cutter for this application? Equipment like that tends to be extremely pricey. Which types of gaskets will it work with? Not all gaskets are the same. A laser cutter might not be a practical tool for every application. I am pretty sure that unless he is replacing a large number of these, and by sheer coincidence they all happen to be compatible with this laser cutter, if I were rebuilding just one or two cars at a time, buying an oem gasket is far more cost effective than buying some high tech and expensive equipment that will not see much use in a small volume workshop
Nice job, it looks really good. Have you ever considered soda blasting the throttle body, I think it would look as good as the rest of the assembly if you did.
Hello man, really nice restoration, grats! I'd like to ask you something: what kinda of passivating agent did you use after zinc electroplating? And what electrolite for zinc? Thanks in andvance for the reply!
Hacéis un gran trabajo, en general, muy buen contenido, he observado que habéis puesto las aspas del ventilador centrífugo por detrás del viscoso y realmente van por delante, aunque es un fallo menor, que pa todos los que hemos cambiado el viscoso alguna vez nos ha pasado o nos pasará!! Jejejeje
Project is coming along quite well brother. Anyway you could help me find one of those gasket tools kits? I do restorations as well and that would do wonders
Another great episode! Love those in depth restoration and attation for detail! One little heads up. We have had an engine gone, because of some little particals that where left inside the inlet manifold. The only way to get them out, is by dipping them in a ultrasonic cleaner. Would be a shame to have your engine blow up after al this hard work of yours! But other than that, keep it up! 💪
Great work as usual, but a hole punch on an anvil doesn't seem to be a great idea. It will be dull after the first hit. I would prefer a scrap piece of hardwood to keep it sharp.
Just a recommendation, at 13:10 when using (hole punch?) put something soft underneath like wood or leather so you don't dull the punch.
We use a high-durometer rubber plate at work.
you can also use a plastic cutting board from Ikea for a few euro/pounds/dollars
My man, invest in an ultra sonic cleaner. It will pay for itself in one build
The one particular thing he does for rebuilds I find interesting is the cleaning and re-Zincing the fastening hardware. That's really cool process

Not sure why you don't have more likes on this comment... seen lots of mistakes in this video but.... aleast it'll look nice....

Damn that’s lookin good. Impressive how seamlessly everything fits back together.
Great video, but I think you put the fan clutch backwards :)
I did! haha.. All sorted now. Cheers!
@@RestoreIt 2 years later no rebuild? where is the video bro, we invested time
It’s the small details that count and take a long time to perfect but you make it look easy I envy that
Love your attention to details.👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Dan!
внимание к деталям? он вентилятор собрал неправильно
I was hoping you hadn't forgotten the E30. I appreciate old Mercedes but I LOVE late 20th century old BMWs.
Nice Work! As always, impressive.
Thanks Patrick!
Didnt expect to be this early
Cheers dude!
There's good potential for upgrades in the intake while you're in there!
At £50, you got a bargain there! Good job as always!
Beautiful job! It's most likely a lot more work to film this way, but this style of video takes me back to some of your original work. Close-ups, slow panning; I love it.
Looking perfect already!
Nor sure what’s more satisfactory: unmasking or sandblasting 😊. Awesome job
Love the touring chassis, waiting for the next clip)
Excellent restoration

Great Editing and content once again.
Dá gosto de ver uma restauração desse nível! 👏👏
Will the dirt removal contribute to advanced weight reduction? Anyways great work
Not really. It might shed a few ounces but nothng really worth celebrating.
Excellent masterpiece video.
you are prefect in assembling Bro...🤩
Love your videos. Have you seen all these new dry ice cleaning systems? They might be worthwhile to look at for future projects where you might not want to repaint something.
great work - I look forward to the next couple of videos.
Great work mate looks stunning.
Beautiful work! I love that warm grey color you use!
dry ice blasting ftw
Very satisfying to watch.
THe correct way to restore the manifold is vapor blasting. Dry blasting is creating pores in the casting.
11:44 will use this on my future e30
Press like before watching ))
It seems like these days you have a more practical outlook about parts which should be restored and which ones should just be replaced.
Well there goes my sleep again 😅👌🏻
This is terrific content and I'm very jealous of the space you have! Where are the videos continuing the build? I can't seem to find them for this engine?
Looking great
please send me the link to part 5 and 6 of the rest of this restoration . it has been very helpful and this has been the most complete e30 m40 316i engine rebuild iv found on UA-cam and has been extremely detailed

amazing job cant wait for more thanks buddy stay safe until next time
Thank u so much. My m40 needs this as soon as I gt some time. Very good restore.u make it so easy n knowing I hv the same engine 💯👌😁
Awesome attention to detail! Congrats on the hard work and keep it up
Beautiful work!
Also I'd be interested after blasting and wire wheeling the gasket surfaces how far out of tolerance they are fromm flat
Or how much sand it ingested
I love watching these videos but it’s crazy to see how not easy bmw designed everything lmao
Cool 😎
We need update for this engine video's
Brilliant stuff well done mate.
Beautiful job!
Wow that Emmanuel guy sure has a lot of cars
So, I think it's was good idea save the old engine
No thread locker on the fan clutch screws? Brave!
Me: No way he can restore this
Restore It: Hold my engine
Nice work again.
Awesome video, like usual. One thing i did notice, i think you've mounted the fan differently to how it was.
Great video 👍
Great video as always,you keep out doing your self.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Man I love you so much l like this job its very nice good luck with your job
Well done again nice looking job budd 👍

Beautiful
There's some really good tips in the comments, Restore It! We can all learn from other people who have a little more experience than us.
You should get one of those laser cutters for gaskets, as many as you use it ought to pay for itself in a short time.
Have you priced a laser cutter for this application? Equipment like that tends to be extremely pricey. Which types of gaskets will it work with? Not all gaskets are the same.

I think I could honestly just watch a love camera feed of your workshop haha :) great work as always
Marvellous
Very nice...👍.
this require mechanical skills to restore this..god job bro..keep it up.
17:47 I was waiting for the scene to turn red and start trembling @Geoffrey Croker!
Nice job, it looks really good. Have you ever considered soda blasting the throttle body, I think it would look as good as the rest of the assembly if you did.
De 10 👏🏻👏🏻,pero cuando nos muestras un coche terminado
Hello man, really nice restoration, grats! I'd like to ask you something: what kinda of passivating agent did you use after zinc electroplating? And what electrolite for zinc? Thanks in andvance for the reply!
When are the newer episodes coming out ? Is the car complete, and the engine? Great series and detail.
The car is currently as you see it in the episodes. The latest episode is being filmed as I type this. Cheers!
It would be perfect if you use vapor blasting instead of sand blasting. But good job guys
Amazing job, it's a joy to watch you work! Are there any videos of the 325s in the near future?
Nice!!next part please)))
Wow i Love it a very very good Job Love it ❤️👍👍❤️
Hacéis un gran trabajo, en general, muy buen contenido, he observado que habéis puesto las aspas del ventilador centrífugo por detrás del viscoso y realmente van por delante, aunque es un fallo menor, que pa todos los que hemos cambiado el viscoso alguna vez nos ha pasado o nos pasará!! Jejejeje

Check the fan clutch, the installed position is wrong ( 5:20 to 15:55 )
Another great episode! Love those in depth restoration and attation for detail! One little heads up. We have had an engine gone, because of some little particals that where left inside the inlet manifold. The only way to get them out, is by dipping them in a ultrasonic cleaner. Would be a shame to have your engine blow up after al this hard work of yours! But other than that, keep it up! 💪
Yay!!!!
Enjoy man!
Great job as usual!!! Do you have ideas on what could be your next project after you finish this?
Where's the rest of this series?
Nice
Part 5 please
What's about the end of the project, remounting everything in the engine bay?
Nice video !! One quenstion what gap diid you set between then throttle plate and the housing thank you in advance !!!
the fan clutch was assembled incorrectly. when disassembling it was different
W Polsce do Piaskarki wrzucamy nawet taki wentylator i Plastikowi nic się nie dzieje ;) a wgl..Polecam piaskarkę syfonową tą małą to se można hihi
Do you need something else (different pressure regulator/fuel pump, ECU update ) when using M50/M52 injectors ?
The fan on the viskomufta was installed incorrectly!
Ames good,👋😄😄🥰😄
Great job! Was there any need to clean the tubes, on which the injectors sit, from the inside? If so, how did/would you do it?
Have you not thought about vapour blasting the alloy parts ?
👍
2 years later no rebuild? where is the video bro, we invested time
dat cursed video stabilization
Is that light colour (I’m colourblind) the correct one for the manifold? I thought it would be silver or mat black. Nice work though.
2.4 Engine
Man I can’t find part 5 and 6. Are they out?
can't believe you had a matching numbers car and you just chucked that away :(
Great work as usual, but a hole punch on an anvil doesn't seem to be a great idea. It will be dull after the first hit. I would prefer a scrap piece of hardwood to keep it sharp.
