9 minutes in and you've already smashed it. any other KZbinr would have taken these first 9 minutes and made it into a 5 part series and talked total bollocks throughout each video.

[@rmc6884]

“Pretty sure” BMW in the construction of this engine didn’t use nails. You make the best content in your field. I laughed so hard I had tears!

[@randallhipwell4835]

I bet Antonio is watching this series and thinking, "My God, I'm glad I sold that thing". And the anxiety i was having as you continued to dismantle this beast. Beyond impressive. You are the man!

[@brreeaad]

I'm actually stunned at how well made these videos are. It's kinda insane how good you are at explaining what's happening as you're doing it, and these videos must take so long to edit

[@Nigel999]

Was that really 40 minutes! It felt like 5 minutes, that’s how engrossed I was. Your ability and confidence in tackling this job is awe inspiring. 🤩

[@ShannonRMcKenzie]

Sreten you're really balls-deep on this one - many KZbinrs 'talk' about how time consuming and hence expensive repairs to these engines are, but you're the only one showing why. Keep up the great work

[@PollittsProjects]

This is just a staggering amount of work. Can't quite wrap my head around taking that on as a one-man job. Kudos to you, Sreten. You're a mechanical powerhouse!

[@mctaggm]

I’m not sure I could take this apart, let alone remember where everything went to put it back together 🤯

[@dadomonte888]

For those people who disliked this video, I really wonder what's there to dislike. This guy does enormous work, and he puts it in one video, instead of prolonging it in never-ending series, like some other youtubers.

[@physh]

"Oh the check engine light is on, I wonder what that could be"

[@kazanboiracing952]

its crazy, that someone designed that engine to work all those parts perfectly together.

[@SmellsLikeGASOLINE]

That's a nightmare... I'll keep wrenching on my old turds!

[@blastingweevil2968]

i'll never forget the words of my grandfather which he said to me some 35 years ago when i was just starting my mechanical journey he said "The more they put into a car the less reliable it becomes". and btw holy grunts you sir are a lot braver than most youtubers diving into an engine that complex. excellent content cant wait for the next.

[@smoke-mirrors]

I sometimes watch Swiss watches being serviced and it scares me how they know which bit to put where and in what order. I kind of felt the same watching this! Well done! 👏🏼

[@MrEeeaddict]

I love that the one German with a sense of humor decided to make a youtube channel! I love the humorous and long form content that is rare to find here!

[@grid212]

When you reassemble this engine, don’t forget to replace that nail in the sump using the correct orientation, cleaned of course.

[@thomassprong1556]

Oh man.. I have anxiety about how all of those parts, bolts, belts, wires, and pieces are going to go back together again. Kudos... it's an awesome thing to watch.

[@sanyaasaniap]

These type of videos are the best! Not only we see Sreten "Suffer" but we can have a peak in to the insides of these beasts without experiencing the feeling of impending doom when it comes to put it all up together. Thank you Dr.Sre for doing it and waiting patiently for your next video! Keep calm and build that Alpina.
