    Lightbulb Youtube Restoration Project - E34 Part 4 - Leaky wrench-fest

    Hello again,

    Been a little while but I've posted the latest update on my manual V8 E34 restoration.

    In this episode I do cylinder compression testing (original M60 block after all...) then proceed to dive deeper into disassembling the entire front end of the car and cooling system to replace the power steering lines (including the ones by the front chassis rail underneath the brake booster).

    While I'm in there I replace the guaranteed-to-fail valve cover gaskets, and generally cover myself in a variety of oils and fluids.

    It makes for some pretty good entertainment, check it out:

    The next episode will be renewing the cooling system, rebuilding the heater valve/solenoids, and getting the engine humming again.

    Cheers
