Rejuvenating a 34-Year-Old V12 Engine - BMW E32 750iL - Project Karlsruhe: Part 7
Рет қаралды 735,773
2 жыл бұрынWelcome to a fast-paced, wrench action-packed video on the glorious BMW M70 V12 engine that resides in this 1988 E32 750iL. Our mission is to make this engine look and work as good as it did on the day it left the factory. We attack the top end: intake manifold gaskets, banjo bolts, valve stem seals, valley pan gasket and complete cooling system while cleaning and refurbishing everything along the way.

One thing I love with you Sreten(there are several) is just how thorough you are with every step. Making sure everything is done once and done perfectly. It was also good seeing the previous work you had done but also where you have come from to the workshop you have now, over the last year. You have worked hard for this and for that I commend you. Fantastic.

@@duncandonovan5270 there are great mechanics out there of course but there are also many shitty mechanics. Everyone can't do this job by themselves, this is very hard, also the rod bearing episode on the e60 m5, that is a very hard job to do by yourself if you aren't comfortable and have zero talent and skills and also patience to do these types of jobs. That's the tricky part. Like in the rod bearing episode Sreten used a butt ton of gloves and towels to keep things clean and organised and i don't really think anybody has the patience for that much attention to detail. It's amazing we have Sreten do these videos so much in detail.

Hey Sreten, a little advice: You could upgrade your Aquablast with iPad Screen-protection-glass or similar, some of them are water reppelent. So you can stick them to your sight-glass (Sichtglass) and you can then turn your wiper off and have a very clear sight. I learned this from CNCing, many CNC Machines have that on their Sightglass. Good luck with your Projects! Viele Grüße aus Bremen!
