There has to be a timing chain repair in a bottle out there. Just pour it in and drive away.
Brilliant!
very brilliant indeed
Stop knock might quiet the rattle down some?!
And glue
Cheap fix for your timing
Whenever there is a "lifetime" part that just means when it breaks that's the end of it's life.
Whenever a company offers a lifetime warranty, they mean the lifetime of the company.
False.. I’m a VW/Audi mechanic, and FCP Euro gives a no questions asked lifetime guarantee on every product they sell, literally.. I personally know guys who’ve changed their oil, dumped it back in the new containers and sent it back to FCP and have gotten a full credit.. A scumbag move IMO, but FCP replaces anything whether it’s your fault or not.
I had a company that manages my companies fleet tell the guy at the lubex that he can't change the oil in the dif for my work truck because the oil lasts the life time of the dif. Well duhh if you don't replace the oil, then of course the oil lasts the life time. My issue is that's gotta shorten that life time.
Im still having night mares about the unloading, That thing was almost perfect until then.
Yep, surprised no one unloading it saw that coming!
It was crazy! Made me laugh like hell how fast is went off and the ramps falling but not at the damage it caused :(
yeahh, very amateur for a youtuber with 1M
@@bryanbogaert8726 thats why i watch samcrac.
I feel that rich rebuilds should contribute to fix it as he laughed so hard when it fell off
I Just noticed that your at 1m Subscribers, Congratulations! Been here since 40k!
Thanks John, I appreciate your positivity and support throughout the years, and I enjoy your videos as well!
Hell yes 1million and many more millions to come. If only some others didn’t have so many as they don’t deserve them no where near as much as the Great SamCrac and his mighty fleet of almost finished cars! Can’t get enough of Sam or rich for that matter but others I can’t stand to watch them fumble though repairs not knowing their ass from their elbow lol
Yeah I just saw this
Can you help me please
Oh wow. Me too. I remember when he bought the first dominoes car and thinking "why doesn't this guy have more subs?"
This Range Rover is super clean underneath; not even any minor oil leaks. If there are no surprises in the engine, it's going to be a home run. I plan to daily drive it, but for the flippers out there, I think there's $10,000 profit to be made after proper repairs!
your gonna get alot of profit!
@@konanoobiemaster @Samcrac How do you put up with meathead haters like this all the time?? Great job Sam, love your channel keep it up!!!
WHEN YOU'RE DONE PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER ,I WILL BUY IT FROM YOU. i SERIOUS TOO.
@@darkman1251 the haters tend to stay behind a keyboard while I'm still under the hood! It's all good I hope they get something out of the video and I don't mind a bit of constructive debate and even others giving me a hard time, just remember if you can give it you have to be able to take it!
@@Samcrac I got nothing out of the video.
The part you said was cracked and broken in two and causing the very extensive play. Eas not cracked in two.
Where did all the play come from?
"Timing chain stretch is rare."
GM 3.6 owners "i wish"
Also, technically they don't stretch, the metal links wear and the get slack in them similar to stretch.
even if he fixes car that valve bent the road by microns,cylinder will get scrached in time and engine will start to heat.
sorry for bad english.
GM 3.0 engines are known for this as well. Usually around 100,000 miles a Cadillac that I own the dealership had to replace it before I took delivery. It was a used car but the cel was on and brought to their attention.
Trust GM to make a chain last less time than a belt
I'll second that.
I have infamous 3.6 with chain stretch and it was replaced about 1.5 years ago.
I found your problem .There was a tree growing under your supercharger. Take that out and you should be fine. I seen it a million times!
As Watch Wes Work says, "there's your problem, lady!"
@@silasmarner7586 Also South Main Auto says it 😂
Garage 54 put it in just to see what happens
Cleetus, “James, ring Texas Speed and tell ‘em we need another 427.”
“Thanks for watchin’ do it for Dale and we’ll frickn see ya later”
Keep you dick in your vice, Don’t spill bong juice in your Nissan, and get antibiotics if you rooted Cheryl.
SID none of that bullshit made any sense kid
99% of all Range Rovers ever made are STILL on the road today! The other 1% actually made it back to the shop...
SIKE 😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
what a myth ... even Porsche is nowhere near that quote and hasn't been.
A lot of porsche were wracked after crashes or became spare part donators ...
Same for Range Rover at least here ... due to bad corrosion protection of the undercarriage.
I’ve got 15plus years working on land rovers and 90% that come in for work is only wearable parts like Surspention based issues
@@typxxilps You haven't read the whole comment, have You?
priceless
I've got 200k miles on my 07' full size rover and the 2nd 100k miles has been almost zero maintenance issues. I had issues with multiple dealer mechanics getting my truck back in worse condition I gave it to them. They tried replacing parts that weren't broken and lying about it every chance they had. Find a good honest mechanic and you're good
👏👏👏👏 facts, my LR confirms this
100% facts my friend. This is true LR ownership. Not nonsense spewing from people never owned one or will. SMH
Looking for one of those, where you live? :D
@@chrish4723 I'm in Burbank near la
@@mserlin Ahh, thanks. I'm in Massachusetts :D I have a large ticket repair coming up and want to avoid the dealer at all costs. Thanks tho!
Damn range rover couldnt even get off the trailer without breaking 🤦🏾♂️
My girlfriend doesn’t know shit about cars and doesn’t care but loves your videos. Probably the best compliment you can get from somebody. She really loves when you and Rich are on camera together lol. Such good chemistry.
Come on Sam MORE MORE MORE your channel is the BEST I can’t get enough of you and your knowledge and enthusiasm. 👍👍
I've got high hopes to have the next videos out a bit sooner
Samcrac that’s great news. How’s the Tesla model S going is it still on the road and rapid charging?
@Stev Rex - Well then!! You don't have to watch, and you can leave and go troll another RUclips channel. We'd actually prefer that you leave..
Stev Rex You’re entitled to an opinion but I and lots of others do like him. If you don’t you can take a long walk of a short pier and don’t forget your lead boots 👍🖕👍
I love the blend between sophisticated high-dollar technology of these vehicles juxtaposed with cows grazing in the background :) You always make great videos, thanks Sam!
You forgot to mention the front end damage when you drove it off the ramp... ;)
DO THIS! Replace the rod bearing , at a minimum on the cylinder that tapped the valve. Its taken a hit and will fail within around 30,000 miles. Had it happen twice on two engines. One Honda, one Porsche. Just FYI, I'm a gear head and former automotive powertrain engineer-developed the Powerstroke Diesel and many other engines, transmissions and transfer cases for BMW, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Subaru, etc.
The knowledge and skills you have about all the different cars you buy and repair amazes me.
13:09 Sam, you really need to have a word with your livestock, their upstaging you in your own shot AND licking your BMW all at the same time lol
"Well engineered car" sounds like an oxymoron if they have a ton of parts that fail. Sounds like Land Rover are loving the fact that they are rolling around in the $$$ thanks to planned obsolescence.
Revolving revenue.
Can you please how that happens really
They are just so poorly engineered. I was going to help my friend change his transmission fluid. Most cars you have a drain plug and it is straightforward. Not with Range Rover. You have to remove the entire transmission drain pan which can only be removed once you have removed the exhaust which blocks the removal. Then you have to throw away the drain pain because it has a built in filter which cost $120 just for the part. Imagine trying to remove the exhaust on a 10 year old car. That means broken bolts and perhaps having to cut it away. Somehow the engineers thought this was a great design. Huge money pit.
@@troyfall6573 most European transmissions are that way. Second, you only have to use the fill plug and you can just pump out the old fluid. Its that simple.
@@vegasmike Right. All the dealerships have large portable fluid transfer pumps that can suck it out of the trans fill hole or dipstick tube.
I love this channel! Not only do you put out great content, but your also educating a lot of us on these issues. And for that I thank you.
"2020 Range Rover Sport SVR with $20,000" The 20k is for when the warranty runs out!
Well, if the SVR can really go 0-60 in just over 4 sec that is better than a Hellcat. So many real world tests on that car, never seen anyone do it quicker than 4.3.
If u have an engine failure on a SVR the repair will cost 11k or even more
20 000$ is for the first service maintenance at the dealership!!!
Congrats for 1M subs Sam, your videos are funny to watch as well as informative !
13:45 did you pay that cow for waxing the (double U) bmw...lol
lmao
Just saw that too!
I thought at first it was getting ready to head butt the car.
Sam's got cowlicks
I was expecting a mounting
Its nice to see you do everything in your farm, alot of youtubers say "you can do anything yourself" but they have these fancy shops and tools, which makes it seem so easy. Nice to see how its really done in the middle of field.
Wait till you see us pull the cylinder head in the 100 degree heat outside 🤣 I moved it in the barn after that too hot!!!!
Sam just wanted to say I own an 07 4.2 supercharged. I know to most mechanics working on exotics can seem like a whole nother world and scarry. But in basic theory it's a machine like any other, so thanks for showing that everyday mechanics can tackle a project like this with out fear. Thanks
Hey Sam,
Congratulations for hitting 1 million subscribers. That's quite an accomplishment you should be very proud of! God bless you!
👍😷👍
The Godfather... You made it... The Milly mill club confirmed... God Bless Playboy and may you have many more years of blessing and success.
Great info Sam, i always wondered what the issues were with these engines. Looking forward to seeing what's next with the project. Best of luck with it!
Brave man you are for taking this build head on.
Looking forward to updates as the project progresses.
I swear sam your like the necromancer of automobiles you just bring dead cars and trucks back to life and you do it affordably.
Samcrac..this build is really exciting😀
Who else wants this guy to finish his builds in order or at least get 85-95% done 😤
Always a thumbs up! Can't wait for the next one!!
People dont buy them because their good. They buy for a staus symbol. PERIOD.
"StAtuS syMBoL". Actually its a great off roading vehicle and has a drive like a S class. They are great trucks. Stop being a jealous hater.
@@bimmere60ify dude, nobody in tampa fla is taking this truck off road. They are everywhere. And driven by wealthy MOMS..
F10m5 they suck , repairs cost almost as much as car itself
Nope, you need the biggest off road capable Canyonero to take 1 kid a mile to school and back :(
Hey, atleast you get the supercharger
Not gonna lie seems like samcracs taking his time with this. Very refreshing to see him fully fixing it instead of “I spent $20 and fixed this car”
Nice format for the video - planning ahead and explaining the point of failures and possible fixes. I like it
LS Swap it. And enjoy it for alot of milles with a low maintenance.
Samcrac whats up on the Lambo, Ferrari, Maserati, and BMW?
You are always so positive and informative in all of your uploads. Good luck in getting your Range Rover back on the road.
I was surprised to find the other day an original 1970's three door Range Rover in '90's computer beige, it looks quite cool. Always liked them and the old three door Jeep Wagoner! Oh well back to welding some more of my Super Snipe (driver's side front wing, a couple of doors and the boot lid.)
Watching those fog light bezels go flying into the air when you unloaded the Range Rover - well, it never gets old.
In the uk we would just swap out the engine a replacement one from a breakers ( bish Bosh ) done ! Lol
Man if I got a dollar for every time I dropped something down into the engine bay...
daniel arman rad you’d have 2$ right?
Into the undertray of Bermuda.
how about when you can never find it yet you swear you looked in and out lol
Sam , reliable & Range Rover in the same sentence simply don't go together!!!
1:06 woow, woooooow that was a hella smooth transition from comments into sponsor😂
Wait why did you get it off the trailer so carelessly?
Are the roots/screws on the supercharger supposed to be covered in oil?
Ofcourse. That way they'll not corrode as easily. Perfectly engineered as always.
@@CoreMaster111 PCV system sucked up all the oil from the bent valve issue
@@ne2i I should have added "/s"
I've always experienced or heard of horror stories with the Rover... but you've changed my mind.
I'm back in love with Rover... great content.
Been missing ya Sam! As always love the video and congrats on that 1 Millie!
"Theoretically, we might have the most reliable older RR ever".
The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
of course range rovers always fail! have you seen that log in the engine bay?! classic range rover quality!
Well I’ve been told Range Rovers use real wood in their interiors
@@graemelliott3942 they told me that you need to burn coal to make them run, not logs...
Its a great idea to replace the water pump since its right there and maybe even the coolant cross-over pipes at the top of the block. They are common coolant leaks with the 5.0
I got a kick out of Sam saying timing chains are new and are replacing timing belts in modern engines...
I clearly recall back in the late 1970's when the very first timing belts came out that no one believed a plastic/rubber belt could replace a metal chain or metal gears. Metal chains and/or gears had been used since cars were first invented. Belts were the new technology.
The reason manufacturers started switching to belts back then is they don't require oil/lubricant, they are cheaper both to buy and to support (chains/gears need active oiling systems and enclosures, belts don't need either) and belts are also quieter.
The downside to belts is over time they wear out so the car or truck owner needs to pay to have the belt changed, typically every 100,000 miles.
Anyway, it turned out that timing belts worked pretty good and became standard on most engines. Other than the regular replacement maintenance they are very reliable and quiet so for many years chains stopped being used.
Recently (past ~15 years), with variable valve timing systems that operate using oil pressure, chains have made a comeback since the oil leaking out of variable valve systems would destroy a belt in no time.
Personally I've always preferred the old fashioned metal timing chain or metal timing gears...
12:25 Worst sealing job ever. You missed one spot...
the man has cows around his cars, give him a break.
Just like the legs of everyone’s mom, it’ll spread.
Yea that annoyed me
TWO spots
It’s just an air seal, no biggie. 👍
Wow I’m surprised I’m this early
Michael Smit
I’ve said the same thing to more girls than I’d like to admit
I have to say, Sam & Rich are among the RUclipsrs who do sponsored videos right - segues from sponsored post to main content with minimal interruptions.
1m subscribers. Congratulations Sam.
Who the hell designs these engines? Interns? We’ve been making engines for hundreds of years and we are still making basic design mistakes like these. To me that’s shocking...
Absolutely incredible product, absolutely horrible long term.
Great "getting involved" video Sam, thank you! LMAO at 15:11 with your cows treating your BMW as part of the herd behind you! 😂😂😂
Watching this vid from the back of my commercial discovery at 3am great job Sam👌🏻
"Every car is chain driven"- laughts in Wankel
Edit: to make it clear: I know Sam sad "most modern cars are chain driven" I did not want to change the Joke.
Laughs in honda V6
If you go back and actually quote what I said you would be substantially more accurate, but whatever you interpret is good too
Congrats on 1 million subscribers sam, i have been enjoying your videos since the rs7 build, maybe even a little before.
Great to see Sam fixing cars properly again. 👍
Congrats on the 1M subscribers!! Thanks for all the awesome content.
Sam, you need to do me a favor and put out more content. I've watched every single thing you have put on here. Your not afraid to admit you dont know what your doing when you run into somthing new and it has been fun watching you learn as you go. Your episodes are full of info and interesting content. I've been in the automotive industry for over 2p years and have to admit I've learned from watching you. Keep up the good work, dont listen to the haters, and GET MORE CONTENT OUT! THIS IS AS BAD AS WAITING FOR THE NEXT EPISODE OF CURSE OF OAK ISLAND!!!! As far as your current build goes your in this thing cheap enough so make sure you send both heads out!! I know the passanger side looks good but if your doing upper engine do the whole top end.
Here in Britain, where the original Range Rover was invented, it became popular due to Princess Anne driving one...It's still regarded as a fashion accessory...The more astute amongst us still regard it as a Farm vehicle which goes straight on at the first bend in the road.... You're Welcome...lol.
I'm SO GLAD I found your channel Sam!
I planned to watch Crew Dragon Demo-2, but your video came up, then I changed my plan 😂
Congrats on the 1 million Sam!!!!!
There’s a lot of cars out there that get blamed for bad things but when it really comes down to it it’s deferred maintenance
Congrats on 1M subs, Sam. Hope you're doing some sort of 1M special for us all :)
Man you are plethora of knowledge. I love this channel. Able to explain what you’re doing or the problem you’re running into very well. Long time subscriber. First comment.
looking forward to this project, cant wait to see it rolling down your farm. Don t stop now
those cows are like "BM double-mooooo"
Congrats Sam on hitting 1 million subs. Keep up the good work!
I love that Samcrac gives ZERO F***S on torque specs or using unobtanium OEM parts on his formerly expensive cars!
Sam, you made it 1M Subscribers
Congratulations
8:56 about how far I get into any project before I get bored and move on to the next
Excellent work and thanks for the content
I was out yesterday here in Chicago and saw a man driving a Rover that he just bought. [Temp plate, stickers still on windsheild, etc.] Hot-ish day, windows down. Poor car's butt dragging and sagging. Smoke coming from tailpipe. I was thinking, "FOOL". I will not ever consider getting one of these money- pits!!!
Neat tip with the aftermarket coupler
Congrats on 1 mill!!!
Good another video and congratulations for the 1million!!!!!
This was very informative Sam
I have this engine in NA form in my Jag XF. Don't forget to do:
Water pump
Every plastic piece of the cooling system including the rear crossover pipes and the coolant tank
Clean out any GDI sludge around the valves (though mine was almost spotless at 100000km)
Upgrade the oil cooler to water pump coupler to the metal version made by Uro
Carefully inspect the washer pumps, when they leak capillary action draws the water into your CJB (Central Junction Box) and does all sorts of damage
Check the transmission over, prolly needs a filter and possibly the interface plastic block that hooks the valve body to the rest of it, and also the cable seals can leak and again travel up and do damage
Oh, and always remember that the heads and block have long, FINE pitch screws into Aluminium: it's very easy to strip them out. The water pump bolt holes for example strip if you look at them too hard!
Sounds like quite a list, but honestly my Jag has been very reliable and the engine is a good 'un.
Lovely Jubbly, some great information and advice.
0:25😂😂😂
Killed the sale on that range rover!!
Really like this RR and its so satisfying fixing things cost effectively
Great detail Sam, thanks from UK
Would like to note that it isn't just spring tension. When the engine is running it feeds oil pressure to the back of the tensioner piston. The spring is there for start up.
Well done on 1 million subs Sam :)
Congratulations on your 1 million subscribers Sam I love your videos 😁😁
While you have it apart, replace the PCV baffles on the passenger side valve cover, they are under the 2 round caps. They can fail and cause excessive oil consumption. They are cheap and it's a pain to change them with the supercharger in place.
Looking forward to the journey. Nice one.
Thanks
That supercharger coupler is designed to have slop: that's why one set of holes is made into slots. It's worth replacing while you're there, but that slop is part of the design of that coupler.
Totally distracted 13 minutes when that cow/bull looked like it was licking the hood of the beemer 🤣🤣🤣. Anyway, back to the Range Rover, awesome video 🙂🙂🙂
You are a great mechanic, Thanks
Heck yes on the Gator. I have a very similar TX with 3,100 hours on it... runs like a daggum champion.
