Hey guys,

In this episode, we continue restoring the salvageable parts from the 316i's engine. I show you the new block and head that I stripped out of another engine I picked up for £50, which had covered 135k miles instead of the 270k miles like the original engine.

There's one more episode after this before the big rebuild. That episode will take place in a machine shop and show things like honing and skimming of the block and head.

Enjoy!
