This BMW E21 323i from 1980 has been off the road for at least 26 years and in this episode, it's time to bring it back to life. The time hasn't been kind to 3 series, the engine is an appalling condition, stuff growing in the coolant system, fuel system varnished and then some. Despite all of that, can we get this engine to run again? Well, grab snacks and buckle up for 55 minutes of struggle to find out.

Compression WILL improve after you knock the rings back into place with a good old italian tuneup and getting them to bed in again with a couple heat cycles. That engine is definitely saveable.
@pepeormeno
@pepeormeno 2 года назад
That’s completely true and the compression is so low because he wash the cylinders. Use a mix of 2 stroke oil in the gasoline help to lube the walls an improve the compression when you are starting something that old.

@M539Restorations
@M539Restorations 2 года назад
Compression results were really poor cause cylinders were washed out, as I said in the video. It will improve once the car is running and I flush the engine, but very doubtful it'll be over 10 bar (minimum for this engine) cause cylinders are pretty scored and valve seats heavily gummed up. A full rebuild is unavoidable.

I've had that compression issue once in my E36 M52B20. I wanted to take it from my mechanic, but it didn't start at his parking. One guy came here and we tried to figure out what was the problem. After long long cranking without starting, he checked the compression it was ridicoulusy low. (don't remember now) Then he went back to the shop and talked with more experienced guy, but he also didn't have any idea what's going on. He cleaned spark plugs, put it back in and crank again. The engine didn't start. This second, more experienced guy wanted to check compression once again and it turned out, the car had around 12-14 bar. It started after this second compression check and such situation didn't happen ever again. I don't know what was the cause of car not starting, but in case of compression, mechanic said that not burned fuel just flushed oil from cylinder walls. Then during compression check, spark plugs were disassembled so fuel evaporated. Once pistons spread oil back again on walls, compression came back. I don't know if it's what actually happened in my engine, but maybe it would give you some hints about low compression. Would be cool if you check compression again after engine worked properly (if it will). I'm really curious. As always enjoyed this episode. Thank You for the show!

Great to see this car getting some love! Here's a question or a tip - have you thought about getting a set of bottle brushes? You can get them with plastic bristles so as not to scratch delicate surfaces, or get steel bristles for jobs that require more "elbow grease." Again, thanks for showing these classics some love. The E32 and the E21 are both favorites of mine - I am somewhat partial to both as I have owned one of each. My car was a 1981 320i, the bulbous-bumpered M10 US model. Tragically lost in 4 meters of flood waters in Hurricane Katrina. Just an FYI, that fuel distributor is an extremely fussy device. My M10 engine had one of those, and per the manual, the calibration on those is measured in MICROMETERS. I highly recommend leaving the calibration of these to specialists if you don't know what you're doing. The K-Jetronic CIS (Continuous Injection System) was an extremely fussy beast, which is why BMW then went to an EFI system for the E30. Regarding the papers, I don't know how they do it in Germany, but in most places in the USA, a seller cannot keep both the cash AND the papers. In order for the sale transaction to complete, the papers MUST be surrendered. If you handed over the cash, the papers MUST go to you in order to complete the sale and register the vehicle. No criticism of the seller intended, but that seller should have had the paperwork lined up and ready to be handed over at the point of sale.
