- In episode 8, I being cleaning up surface rust on the radiator tray, I try my hand at some basic welding, the hydraulic fluid filtration and oil fitration housings get refurbished and installed and the air conditioning system gets rebuilt from scratch.
One thing I know is no car project ever finishes in time, there's always one other thing to do in between 😅 ... That said, I love this rebuild so much, enjoyed every single episode, this is one of my favorites for sure 🙂 Take your time sir, you are doing an amazing job. It's you who's gonna enjoy the car and I like the fact that you are doing it properly sir, and for us it's just a treat to witness this amazing journey.
Already excited for the upcoming episodes. Peace ✌️
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Hi Steve, I am an enthusiast from the South East of France. I really liked your videos about this beautiful E31 that is yours and all the very very good job you're commenting on each episode. I own a 1990 Mazda Miata and a 2001 E39 530d, working on both cars all by myself.
I have to say that the way you film and comment is more interesting because of all the details you provide. It is a good source of knowledge as well as an inspiration.
Keep on working on the BMW, have faith even if winter is already here. If I could, I would send to you some sun rays and a few degrees from the Riviera.
Thanks so much Sophian, i'd gladly trade you some frost for some rays!
Great videos , i bought a 91 850i last week ! Great to have this resource . Many thanks !
Love the heat sink fix. Great thinking. I also love the detail you go into in your videos which will be very helpful for other E31 owners,
Great work on the fins on the cooler 👍😁👍
Great works!! I'm watching your video as if I'm working with you...also learning a lot from you. It's really hard to wait for the next episode. Please keep it up!
Thanks Jimmy!
God bless you... excellent restoration.. have been following all the videos uploaded... best mechanic ...
Great job i starts watching your episode and i very enjoy .
Can’t wait to hear this engine running!! This is museum piece now !!
It was great finding your channel. Got an e31 recently and it really helps to visualize how to fix the deferred maintenance on the car. Keep up the good work!
Just found this channel, immediate sub. Very nice videos, I see the style influence from M539
Very good video and progress you are making. I love that you clean everything before reinstall leading to a clean engine bay. I can't wait for the next video and the engine first start. Greetings from Greece
Thanks Stratos!
Very good job, I really enjoy this, also I like your way of explaining it. .
great video, love the in depth look at the process!
Great work! I really enjoyed the video!
Minute 29:00 the cooler for the oil, your a genius !
Love watching your restoration videos so much it almost makes me think i could / should do the same with my 840 (i have zero mechanical knowledge or ability)! Looking forward to the next instalment.
Cheers Craig, if you have the time it's worth a shot!
@@stevesbmwbarn5706 or, if you’re looking for a new challenge once you finish the 850 ;-)
Bravo!! great progress!! stay warm and healthy too!
Another great video, found your channel a couple of months ago and always look forward to the next instalment. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks Oliver!
You work pretty well. Someday I’ll send my Peugeot to you. That would be a real challenge.
Fluid filter housing is a ridiculously overengineered unit on this car!
MOST interesting watch on TH-cam at the moment. Waiting anxiously for the next video. Keep up the awesome work. God Bless and Greetings from South Africa.
And the poor owld e66 is left outside in the cold now
It's doing just fine, classes up the street a bit! :)
Now that your done with the engine post #9 -:)
Thanks for a very good channel, you are very inspiering to watch and good that you explain everything so well. What kind of manual do you use, ex. for tork specs and so on?
Looking forward to the next episode.
Greetings from Sweden.
Did you ask a radiator refurb company for a quote for the hyd cooler? You'll be surprised how cheap they can be!
No, but that's not a bad idea, it may still need a bit of work so will look into it.
48:55 I see what you did there
Did you convert A/C to R134?
New timing chain tensioner? Tricky to install on an engine with no initial oil pressure. I'd run the engine for a bit then fit a new one.
I'm thinking of repairing my hydraulic oil cooler the same way you did. Do you still happen to have a link for those cooling fins?
Cheers,
Any number of them on ebay/aliexpress. I'd recommend pressure testing yours first, turned out to be a leak in mine.
@@stevesbmwbarn5706 Well I can't see a leak and actually the cooler has been is this horrible state for years but nearly all the cooling fins are gone. I'm not sure how important this cooling is, maybe just overengeneering 🤷.
Did you found out the correct height for the mesh in the hydraulic reservoir? I can't find it.... Cheers,
Nope, but the mesh height isn't crucial, correct level is 1cm from the top of the canister.
excellent job as always ! P.S. don't forget 34511159421.
Stealing shtick I see …
Very nice man, check out my 1991 bmw 850 m sport i got running after 18 years in a garage
Nice work man im in similar boat just with 840ci:)
Another favourite of BMW, the god awful connectors
The reservoir looks factory fresh, v nice.
I have never seen that method used on a heat exchanger. You will need to report back on how it holds up down the line.
Looking forward to the next instalment
All the best from across the water 🏴
love and enjoy seeing how things work with the explaining can not wait for the next
We are doing the same thing at the same time hahaha my job was a little bit bigger, but I’m dealing with hydraulics and brakes and a/c!! Greetings from Brazil!
Best of luck with it!
Great chanel, can't wait to see when to see you tackle the suspension. Any updates on the next video?
Next week!
@@stevesbmwbarn5706 Next week? Could it be you meant next month? Great content, thanks for sharing, looking forward for the next episode/s.
