If you have one of the cars Sreten is working on it's probably a good service manual as well. Even the long videos over one hour are kinda rare, most of the car youtubers make 20-30minutes long vids.

    Longtime viewer here from Italy. "Revisione completa motore" literally means "complete engine check". It doesn't mean overhaul. It's just a superficial check of the engine. Usually things like spark plugs, coils, fluid levels, filters etc are checked, but nothing too involved. Hope this clears things up, and keep up the good work!

    Heyho, as a ex Maserati Mechanic I can tell that the low pressure and also loud ticking noises from the high pressure pumps are very normal. I can bet you called Ulrich Frankfurt for Spare Parts? And the cars had many problems with the rear differential (mostly M157 Ghibli 3.0 Diesel) so a regular oil change is the way to go. You need to use Shell 75W90 S5 please and sometimes the rear axle get cracks on the welding points so watch out for them, one way to check them is to put the car into D while it is on the lift and step on the gas and brake at the same time. That's how it's easy to check the ball joints and the axle itself. Also the driving shaft needs to be recalibrated with weights if the vibrations are to hard. Keep up the great work

    The alternator is dead, we need to get the engine out to unplug it. Genius !! Edit : It might actually have been easier to get it out with the engine still in the car because you could have supported the engine and removed the engine mount. But either it is still stupid.

If this engine was not rebuilt it's sure a sturdy piece of machinery, those leakdown and copression numbers are stellar.

    Sreten, three years ago when I first my first video on your channel (Project Marseille part 1) I honestly thought " Who the hell is this guy in sweat pants a side garage and a worn out BMW? This is probably not going to be good".,,, Well, I have watched every video since then. My favorite was Project Salt Lake with Jason Cammisa simply because the footage include my hometown and roads and offramps which I traveled hundreds of times in my youth. What your are doing is so inspiring, I told myself to refrain from sending a message to Andy Bovensiepen at Alpina that they consider giving you one of their used engine stands. Now, I always hit the thumbs up even before the video ever starts because I know the quality of what I am about to see. Please know, many viewers like myself appreciate how difficult it is to produce a quality video. We are so appreciative of your skills as a mechanic, your choice of commentary, which is a perfect balance of technical, not over explaining, product/people endorsements, humor and frustrations. The video angles, content and the editing choices(If you have assistance, cheers to them) are fantastic. The overall production value and content is far superior to any commercial automotive tv production. Sincerely Shannon

    That compression test and leak down test shows that the engine is incredibly robust after nearly 200,000 miles - amazing - if it wasn’t actually rebuilt. Another brilliant episode, totally absorbing beginning to end. What we don’t see is all the time you spend researching the workshop manuals, reading and understanding what needs to done, then sourcing and ordering all the parts. Probably more time than the actual wrenching. 😊

    when i was working on bmws, the most convenient way to remove freon from the a/c was to put my gauges on the high/low pressure ports and the feed line onto an empty 20/30 lb freon canister. with the engine running, i opened the high pressure line and pumped the freon into the empty canister, which i labelled "dirty". i jumper wired the low pressure switch so the compressor wouldn't cut out at 30 psi. it was the fastest way to drain the freon from the system. i would then hook up the "dirty" canister to the freon recycler, since it was so slow and just let the recycler run on its own. it just took too much time to drain it with a recycler while working flat rate. i don't know if this helps you at all, but you might try it and let us know if it is useful for you on an actual running engine. i've watched a lot of your videos and you have great methodology and attention to detail. top notch, bro.

    I have a BMW 745d from 2006 in my collection. mileage currently 350 thousand kilometers (220 thousand miles). I change the oil every 8-10 thousand km (amsoil 5w40). engine: v8 4.4 diesel bi turbo. the turbines are new, nothing has been changed in the engine, I only replaced the injectors recently.

    Thank you for doing this video. I was VERY skeptical at first when I saw you were trying this repair on a non BMW. I have been following you channel for a great deal of time and only because of my interest in BMW's. Thank you again for taking all of us along with your effort to fix something totally out of my personal interest.Because at the end of the day it is a highly technical engine and that is why I love being a mechanic. The opportunity to learn something new in the same field that I love is a win/win in my book. Keep up the fantastic work and keep the new content coming.

    Sreten's videos are perfect as always. As someone who has watched all of his videos, it feels like something is missing, perhaps the cleanliness of the ventilation systems in cars. If possible, could you include a section in which the entire ventilation system is renewed/cleaned and the insides of the pipes are shown? We would like to see under what conditions the air we breathe in 20-year-old vehicles is passing through those pipes.

    IKR, i was sort of happy to see Sreten struggle with them as well as they are a pain to remove for me too in all the Fiats i have worked on! But in all fairness i have never ever had a leak from that sort of clamp even with cars that have over 300 000 km on them, so when the factory installs them with their special crimping tool they do function as hose clamps really really well in places you do no need to normally touch during the life of the car. When replacing them i have found that on some connections it is actually pretty hard to find a clamp that doesn't leak. Wurth stainless clamps seem to be the ones i have had the best luck with. But yea they are a weird design if you need to remove them, but as hose clamps they are EXCELLENT.
