Published at : 13 Dec 2025

In this episode, we are inspecting, cleaning and reconditioning all engine parts in preparation for the full engine rebuild of the M3 S65B40 V8 engine. We clean the crankshaft, take apart the oil pumps and cylinder heads, fix the stripped oil drain plug and take the block to H2 Motors, and recondition (hone) AluSil cylinder bores.
