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!

Thanks for watching. Subscribe for more!
