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

Sometimes it's also some anti leaking aditive product you can add to your coolant

I remember when u got the car and said, it won't be a "big restoration" 😂😂😂 nice video, good luck my friend!

Just a gift for people with an M40--Thank you. Great video.

@@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.

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.

That camshaft is toast

Also it's an example why "Distilled water" not tap water should be used with coolant. Best is "waterless" or premix.

Your editing and video production remain among the highest on KZread, restoration videos or otherwise. Thank you, sir.

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

I added a new sound to my satisfying sounds list: 1. Breaking of morning ice crust on a puddle 2. Popping bubble wrap. + 3. Squeaky click when you start screwing off an old rusty bolt.

Amazing man. Love the journey! BTW, thank you for labeling parts as they show up! Honestly it's such a small thing that goes such a long way. You are the man!

Really nice. This helps a lot to understand the components of the engine and how to do the tear down. Can’t wait for the 2nd episode to see the fresh and newly cleaned engine being built up again.

man, im so excited for part II ! best cliffhangers on yt!

Methodical and organised as usual. It looks to have had a hard and neglected life. I can't believe all that stuff in the oil pump inlet. It seems you came along at just the right time 😊👍

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!

This channel just keeps on getting better and better. Love your work!

Hello from Belarus🤚 I have e30 with m40 too, but saloon. And is't so interesting and helpfull watch your videos about m40. Keep it up🤘

True dat - BMW uses blue/green (Glysantin G48), if mixed with red/pink (Glysantin G12), than this happens.

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.

I know nothing about cars but love watching your videos ☺️

This is way much satisfying to watch for me , the way you work and technique and most importantly the tear down as it should be , I'm excited for part two , btw you get a new happy sub 😀👍

I could watch you work for hours. Looking forward to the cleaning and paint of this engine.

Great stuff and loved watching the tear-down! This engine has seen a lot of hard miles. The junk stuck in the oil pump was staggering!

I was thinking to rebuild e30 m40 engine but I have not so much experience with German engine so thanky bro for every knowledge you give us 💓💓💓✔✔✔👍👍👍👊👊💕💕💕💓💓✔✔👍👍👊👍👍✔✔✔✔

You are a professional in both working and editing your videos and definitely deserve a subscription. Keep up the good work mate

That was in a pretty rough state! I'm surprised it ran at all. Definitely in need of a rebuild, I'm looking forward to seeing it come back together.

Love the attention to detail with removal!!!!!

So therapeutic my restore it armchair spannering sessions great vid can’t wait to see the finished before and after pics - fantastic 👍

Awesome job as always! Looking forward to the next episode!

Great video mate, a lot of work, and the best thing is you have a video to play when you can't remember where everything goes back.

Thank you very much for this video. I'll definitely use it and pt 2 for reference when I strip mine this winter, it's running a lot better than yours was at first thankfully! There'll be no excuse for headscratching thanks to how clear and free of bull this was, unlike many maintenance videos. Brilliant

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...

couple things to help, When using a rattle gun, try to use as little extensions and adapters as possible, all those joints absorb the shocks use rattle guns on stuck bolts, generally thell remove them without snapping them and use the breaker bar more, putting loads of load on ratchets isnt a great idea Nice video cant wait for part two!

Great! Love those mechanics episodes over a bodyworks.

AWESOME video mate! Thanks

You I just find it amusing the gaskets all of them, look so much better than the parts themselves, they weren't eaten away from the inside out nor the outside in with all that corrosion... I chuckled at that...so funny and weird to see science like this every once in a while.

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.
