Sreten has said all the time that he is not a professional, he's a regular 9 to 5 guy like most of us, that started doing this and is just trying to do the best that he can with what he has and what he knows. I don't think he ever said he was a professional engine builder and is going to measure all 32 valves from 6 different angles to go out and win a race on Sunday. And we should all build ours like this video and copycat him exactly. Anyone setting out to build their own engine should be smart enough to do plenty of research and decide if they need to do all of the things you're mentioning or not. I was happy to see him use the mic set in the more recent video. I bet that he's aware of most of what you're saying but has decided it's not necessary or practical for the build.

It looks like there has been a computer glitch, our discussion yesterday has been erased.
So anyway, that car does look pink on camera, I would really like to see it in person. Great spec. I am in the midst of doing an m52 stroker build myself and am not sure if it was a good idea. |

Yes, S85 Builder was banned, good. He maybe the best engine re-builder ever, however to have that much anger and spite is not good. He needs help from the medical profession. |

All that stuff got deleted once, and by talking about you're setting up for stuff to get deleted a second time, where mods will probably be even less happy due to doing it a 2nd time

It was a very strange feeling to open this thread and see my face on the thumbnail of a video someone shared

New video, and a new car! New to him anyhow, and a brand I don't think he's done before. Still fun to watch it come apart.
I beat Mani59 to this? |

I must say, I do agree with Sreten regarding the "elegance" of how Mercs are designed and built. There's something intangible about working on them that isn't 100% there in BMWs.

Fellas, I need some help.
I just picked up a 2001 BMW E46 325I, with only 11,000 miles on the clock. It has been sitting for 12 years. How would I go about siphoning out or removing the old fuel in the system?
