This teardown was a LOT easier than I expected. As this was my first Hyundai Lambda V6 I've torn down, I was pleasantly surprised with how easy and simple it is to work on. Normal fasteners, no aluminum hardware, and simple processes made this teardown a breeze! Im not surprised with the failure mode. Its really a shame because it could have been avoided with just a little awareness.
My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. I don't build or rebuild engines, we simply supply hard parts to those that do!
Want to see a particular engine torn down? I may have already done one! No really, check out my other videos for the engine you'd like to see! I've made over 70 other teardowns from a Cummins to an LS7, and from Rotary to Ram Ecodiesels. You can expect a new teardown every week!

As always I appreciate all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
What will I tear apart next week? Just wait and see!

40 year experienced ASE certified master auto technician . I watch this every Saturday night . I probably won’t get into any of these engines . But I watch this to see the different ways that engines can be built . The cvt was good . Keep up the good work .
Good for you my father is a world class gm tech he teaches it now he has the highest ASE certification you can get but he hates cars he got really burned out working on them for so long I'm a 2 year tech in the making and enjoy the hell out of it I hope one day to still see interest in this field several decades from now
50 years experience, repairing cars independently and never wasted my time with ASE......and I can tell you that Hyundai/Kia JUNK is the Chevy Vega of the new millennium.
CVT never good
4 year experienced RUclips certified master tuner technician and I watch these every Sunday because I want to
@@donreinke5863 idk man kia has been making one hell of a comeback
You give me such a chuckle whenever the safety tote comes out. Thanks for all the videos over the last year and the half, I think I'll watch you disassemble anything to be honest.
His goatee is funnier than the safety tote.
@@earlscheib7754 Silence was funnier than that comment.
I'd buy a safety tote if you had a merch store.
@@DM0407 One shot, one kill.
I wondered about that tote-tub. I thought it was just levity. How is it safer?
Great video, Eric. I have a 2014 Genesis Sedan with the 3.8 V6 like the one that you tore down. I have just over 180K miles, it doesn't burn or leak a drop. I have the oil and filter changed every 3-5K miles, only use the heavy duty Wix filter and semi-synthetic Shell oil. I had a 2006 Sonata with the 3.3 V6 with 255K miles and did the same oil/filter change practice on it and traded it after 8.5 years on a new Genesis (current vehicle). These vehicles are outstanding. If ever needed, I will be able to tear my engine down for diagnosis thanks to your video. Will have to check out your Cummins video. Happy 4th...I love the head/face safety equipment. Just subscribed...
2012 was the first year of the 3.8 GDI. My 2012 has 80K miles and has never used oil.
Thats crazy high miles, I just bought a wrecked one with almost 180k miles and yeah it was low on oil, swapped engines and it runs good but the one that was in it originally did the mentioned crank bearing delete and seized at 80k miles. I'm in the genesis group on Facebook and every other one has a blown engine
@@jesusspartan8951 Bought this car because I previously had a 2006 Sonata with the 3.3L V6 with 255K miles that didn't burn or leak oil. I am sold on these engines.
300K on my Borrego and doesn't burn any oil.
We have had 2 of the Veracruz models with the 3.8 . Both have been great engines and pretty easy to work on compared to other cars. I had to change timing chain driven water pump on my step sons Altima. It sucked
Thanks for all your hard work/fun the last year and a half! My wife was legitimately laughing out loud at several points during the CVT teardown last week. 😅👌
For sure Eric has great humor!
My 2015 genesis V6 3.8 AWd is at 163,990 kms. Check oil levels regularly. Synthetic Oil change oil filter intervals at 8K kms or less ... mine does not burn oil. I need to do walnut blasting soon, but no oil Consumption. Oil change intervals and checking the level religiously. 👌 that is very important.
First Genesis engine for me to watch. Thanks Eric!
I have a 2009 Hyundai Genesis V6 with 75K miles. It has the Hyundai 3.8L Lambda EFI before they added GDI. I do all my own oil changes with Mobil 1 5W-30 EP. I change the oil once every 5K miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. The oil level (per visual inspection of the dipstick) has never decreased at all in-between oil changes and the engine runs as smoothly as it did when brand new.
Hey, thank you for doing these for the last year and a half. I've learned way more about engines then half a dozen other ways. It's good fun, and great to see how much better you've gotten at putting these together. Keep it going!
The most value of these teardowns is to look at the engines and say to yourself would I ever own one of these? I have added about a dozen to my no never list.
Now that you’ve done a 3.8, try their 4.6 and 5.0 V8s if you ever find them! Love your channel ❤️
Checking the oil is something my dad taught me. At every fill up, he'd pop the hood and check the oil. Didn't matter if it was 1 gallon or 20, he'd check the oil. Been doing it myself since I started driving in the 80's.
In 8 years as a service advisor, during the period when cars went back to using oil regularly thanks to the rise in 0W viscosity and some notable design-defective engines from GM, Honda and Toyota, I told this to thousands and thousands of people. I learned by owning a car with bad piston rings that used a quart every gas tank. I had that car for 3 years and 50k miles and it was still running when I sold it.
Spot on.
Only when the engine has shut down overnight and is cold will I check the oil. Never at a gas station
Right!! Us OGs actually care about our vehicles.
I check the oil every time I get in the car to go anywhere. Sometimes I check the oil before dinner, but most of the time I check it first thing in the morning before breakfast, then one more time after lunch.
Eric the difference between you and other people who do stuff like this ,you’re doing it just for me that’s my engine you’re tearing down and you’re explaining to me what’s wrong with it,
I’ll watch this every Saturday and everything in between as long as you love to do it
Love the videos, Eric. The water pump reminds me of something too… can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s nuts!
I love your videos for several reasons: straight to the point, well filmed, no obnoxiously long intro, no shoe-horned ads, no 30 second end cap, and very very educational. I’ve learned a great deal by watching your tear downs, which has helped me immensely at my job (Receiving Manager at LKQ). I’m so glad I found this channel. Thank you for the videos.
Looks like you caught a rare moment of bearings mating season. You even caught sight of the eggs spread throughout the engine! Lucky catch!! I guess now you know why it was so stiff. Needs to be stiff for the bearing mating conditions to be successful. 🤣
That's why it's called 'in heat'.
It starts with the rubbing
The CVT was weird, BUT, as much as I love the engine tear downs, it was cool to see the innards of one. Also I enjoy the Mystic Mustang, and the 911 vids, you just have a good style, the speed ups instead of Jump cuts has a lot to do with it I think. And you’re consistent, stupid consistent. And that’s why McDonalds is a giant. So yea, keep it up bro 😎
The humor mixed with the knowledge is also good
Hi Mate. I’m from Australia & I enjoy watching you pull engines apart whatever type they are. Keep doing them. Peter.
Can’t wait for the day you’re 4 minutes into a tear down and we hear “wow, this engine is brand new” and cut scene to the whole engine getting chucked into a trash bin…. Your stuff never gets old
I always try to watch every tear down you do. The CVT was very interesting. I especially like your running commentary as you proceed with each tear down.
I really liked this one! I like the engines like this one that are "different" - all the same components are there, but they were quite different compared to the typical ones we see in an LS or BMW, etc. The intake, timing system, high-pressure fuel pump & piston design were all very interesting.
I've only discovered your channel in the last month or so. I've been going through watching a lot of it and I'm hooked. I also like watching with my 5 year old so he can see some of what I do every day. I meant to comment at the time, I don't remember the video, but you said "we normally start with the spark plugs, but this engine doesn't have any in it" and he thought that meant it was a diesel lol. You're doing a great job teaching people about different engines. Thanks for all you do
I'm glad to see you're still wearing the OSHA-approved safety gear. If I had to give an automotive award for the most-improved company in the least amount of time, I would give it to Hyundai. Back in the 80's to mid 90's, their stuff was pretty sketchy...but someone at Hyundai decided it was time to up their game, and they did. Nowadays, their stuff is pretty well built.
The Korean brands in general have come so far.
@@DM0407 Well, keep in mind that Kia is owned by Hyundai. But yes, even Daewoo (or as GM likes to call it, "GM Korea") has come a long ways
Hyundai sells a lot of cars because they give you a lot of car for the price point. The engines are garbage. Straight up garbage. I'm a master Hyundai tech and all I do is replace engines. There is never a shortage of engines to be replaced at a Hyundai shop.
@@JetteVetteGS Anecdotal evidence confirms what you say. I used to work at a dealership right beside a Kia store and all day every day there were tech's carting out engines to drop out back. Sometimes we'd drive a potential trade in around the Kia store and even knowing they carted engines out back every day, were always shocked at the amount of ground covered with engines. Truly shocking. But hey, public gotta love those 84/96 term payments!
@@JetteVetteGS Well, I can tell you that in 2003 I bought an '01 Accent with 30K on it---when I traded it in 6 years later with 120K on it, it still ran like a watch. Never broke down, never even had a check engine light
Great video again. Very interesting piston design. You can actually see where the injector sprays the fuel into that spoon shaped design. It looks like the that "spoon" design acts like a ramp to up wash the fuel towards the spark plug and also get a better atomization in the chamber. It probably generates a better "swirl". Just a guess...
Would love to see an old V12 jag engine or a Detroit 2 stroke diesel, very interesting stuff.
About the only way to find a "core" 2 cycle Detroit is one that's sat and locked up.
There's a fair number at big truck wrecking yards.
@@randymagnum143 Which is the state of almost all ever produced. There's only 2 known failures of the ol 2 strokes, ran it until you're out of oil and then run it another 10k miles, or you can't afford the fuel for it anymore and you let it sit in a field for 30 years.
Tyrrell's Classic Workshop had a Jag V12 rebuilt in the last year for which there are a few videos. It's also a good channel overall for details about vintage car designs and technicalities.
Love the videos. Love the humor. One thing I'd like to see more of is a little exploration in "how it works" for some of the weirder parts. Why it boke is always good, but sometimes some engines have unique designs that could be examined more.
This would be excellent. The biggest reason I watch these videos is because I like seeing how different groups of engineers from around the world solved basically the same set of problems.
@@Oddman1980 Exactly my point. I'm an engineer and I'm constantly driven by curiosity. Some of those parts tossed across the shop into the scrap bin (well, we know he misses the bin 90% of the time), I'm screaming at my computer, wait, let's see that piece again! LOL.
I'm not an engineer, but I work closely with them, and the solutions that I see are always interesting.
My Lambda 3.3 has 260,000 kms on it now, started using oil all of the sudden around 230-240. I changed the PCV, with no change in consumption. Further reseach has show that these rings start sticking around the 250,000 mark. I used Amsoil since new, and the top end and chains look like new. I've had the intake off it to clean the valves also. Looks like I may be doing rings!
I have a genesis 3.8. Runs smooth and rides great. Peppy on the throttle and plenty of low end power. Sad to see a car not being made anymore for people to abuse
THIS IS MY ENGINE!!! I’ve been waiting for this!
I hope we never have to tear one...2012 with 74k miles...
I would really like to see a super high mileage engine (500k miles or more) that still runs well. As a demonstration of what's possible with regular maintenance. How about it?
Now that would be a fun video to see
Just change the oil every 1,500 miles and you'll have one.
@@rshettle123 I thing regular maintenance (say every 5k) would get you there with today's modern gas engines.
@@rshettle123 I’ve 520k on my 03 Honda Element. The oil has always been changed as needed, sometimes at 3,500 miles, sometimes at 5,800 miles. Just depends on when it’s dirty. I purchased the vehicle new and I’m more than pleased with it, it has its issues at times, over all though it’s a decent vehicle.
27 yrs experience,ASE Master Tech
As a Hyundai tech I love seeing that you got another Hyundai engine. I hate how tight the cylinder head bolts are, and you can never get all the coolant out of the engine before taking the heads off and making a mess. And it's like that with the 4-bangers too. You're correct about the chain covers being easy on the stand, some of these are quite near impossible when still in the car.
would you warn someone if looking at an 09 3.8 azera with 75k miles?
10:28 The safety bin should be the new channel logo. Someone get on making a stylized version of it with someting pinging off!
I just ordered some CRC intake valve cleaner for my Hyundai GDI after watching this. Hopefully it will help keep the valves clean.
CRC cleaner has worked well on my Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost. Intake was off a couple of months ago and ports/valves looked fine. I use it before every oil change, which is every 4k miles.
Looking at the intake manifold this gdi engine is off a 2012-2014 genesis sedan. In 2015 they changed the intake manifold design. Some of these 3.8 v6 motors from 12-17 have an issue with the oil pressure switch going bad and leaking underneath the intake manifold where is located (not cheap to repair without warranty). The oil pressure light on dash, plus low oil levels is usually an indication. This motor was definitely neglected.
This is happening to my 2016 Genesis Coupe right now. Sucks. Oil pressure light only comes on when the engine is heated up and when at or near idle.
Thanks for the lambda 2. Have been looking forward to seeing one
Everyone who remembers when cars had A DISTRIBUTOR WITH POINTS & CONDENSER, A COIL, MAYBE A BALLAST RESISTER (Chrysler), ONE SPARK PLUG AND WIRE PER CYLINDER please give this comment a thumbs up!
I was at a friends house when he told me, he had gotten a call from someone who was heading to his house for an oil change. Well, it was a very large vehicle. And the girl started saying, she has split from her husband, and had not changed her oil recently. When my friend drained the oil, there was not much of it to drain. And talk about the shiny little particles. He started by telling her, Well, I changed your oil, but I can not and will not warranty the change to help you much. You need to bring this SUV to a mechanic ASAP.
May I suggest an outboard boat engine? You know, so we can watch you get as annoyed at seized bolts as much as we do? 🤣
Yes! Marine motors would be really interesting.
It would be neat to see you tear down a piston driven aviation engine that has failed, like out of a Cessna or something similar.
As a retired mechanical engineer who always worked on environmental stuff it’s so enjoyable to see how these modern engines are made.
My friend in High School back in 1970 let me help him rebuild a 1957 T bird engine.
Things have changed, for the better.
I savor for each teardown, you make it so much fun.
Great, Great, Great Grandpa...is that you???
I'm a master Hyundai tech. All I do is tear into these engines and build new ones. I have no idea why I watched this video, this felt exactly like a normal day at work to me 🤣
Is this the engine in my telluride?
My 2012 Genesis sedan 3.8 V6 GDI with 80K miles has never used oil.
Fun side note the lambda engines coming from the Georgia plant had machining issues for a few years that caused bearings to spin. It was such an issue Hyundai would check engines around the 50k mile mark for material in the oil and replace the entire thing under warranty to hide the issue. So it may not necessarily have been a maintenance issue if it was from the 2012-2014 years.
The 2 little inline 4 just had a massive recall for similar issues.
I look forward to every Sat. evening so I can see another one of your entertaining and informative videos. Love the Safety Bin!
You are showing us things only mechanics know and see and honestly I like learning
Be really cool to see more exotic engines on the channel, hard to come by for sure.
I think it would be pretty cool to see a Nissan GTR/Skyline engine, a Lotus engine, a W12 Volkswagen engine just to name a few.
Keep up the great work! Love the tear downs, carnage, and the humour
Happy I ran into this video, older versions of this 3.8 (MPi versions from 2010-2012) had variable valve timing issues that would make a grinding sound (due to lack of oil changes it would clog up the variable valve sprocket). From your tear down, it was easy to see how much more wear happened to the cams that had this issue.
Along with checking oil level, also keep it changed at regular service intervals. Because oil and filters are much cheaper than changing engines.
I love watching these. It’s definitely made me shorten my already short oil change intervals seeing all the carnage. I would love to see a 2.7 ecoboost torn down one of these days if one would ever become available
Just started watching your vids, and am enjoying them. I used to have a '13 Genesis Sedan with this engine, so very neat to see what it was all about. Found it reasonably powerful, (no bottom end, but pulled good up top...took it to the strip), but damn did it carbon up. Much much quicker than my current '04 Grand Marquis, but at least I can change the plugs in less than an hour, and not have them hidden like on this engine. lol
2 yrs ago and I'm literally watching it on July 3rd 2024.....HAPPY 4TH TO YOU SIR!! 😂
The engine looks to be well engineered, it just has a thirst for oil. As noted, it’s probably the skinny little oil scraper ring that allows oil to pass into the chamber. It probably only uses a quart every thousand miles or so, but drive it 5000 miles without checking the oil and it’s adios engine.
Y’all check ya oil, hear?
My 2012 Genesis sedan 3.8 V6 GDI with 80K miles has never used oil. The dipstick read full at 4K miles prior to oil change.
I have the 3.3 v6 2017 engine in my Santa fe ....love it. At 108 000 km not using oil at all. Very happy with the engine .
I'm at 100k miles on my 2015 G80 V6 and it has never needed to be topped off with oil.
a quart of oil every thousand miles? That's ridiculous. I have a 09 grand caravan with 3.3 litre engine....180,000 miles and it uses .75 quarts every 5000 miles.
I'm not a mechanic, but I love the teardown process and your jokes and gags
Thanks for choosing a Korean oddball. I happen to own a 2013 Genesis with the 3.8 L GDI V6. 84K miles and no problems so far. Going to go out and check my oil RIGHT NOW, THANKS ERIC.
My 2012 Genesis sedan 3.8 V6 GDI with 80K miles has never used oil. The dipstick read full at 4K miles prior to oil change.
I have had my Genesis Coupe 3.8 BK2, and I've put lots of miles on her. She's now at 141k, with 0 issues. I've taken great care of her though. Always change my oil at 3k, no matter what, and I had it walnut blasted to clean carbon out at 100k, also had the radiator flushed, changed injectors, and plugs/coilpacks. I think you must maintain your car if you want it to last. Problem with Hyundai/ Kia is they are relatively cheap, so it attracts a cheap crowd, who most won't do the maintenance, then they break, and hence the rep
I also enjoyed the CVT teardown. I also enjoy watching you dismantle these engines. I also enjoy "hearing" to Head Bolts when they break loose. :-) I know, "I'm not right." ha, ha, ha.
Casually says "camming crack caps" lmao. Love it.
I prefer your Rubbermaid PPE over commercially available options!
Regarding content, I think I speak for the masses when I say, we enjoy watching you do your "thing". It doesn't really matter what you're tearing into, it's just interesting to watch you work you way through.
Thanks for continuing to post videos!
I laughed at the 2 Chains reference and immediately thought "You use plastic, we brought cash"
Eric, always look forward to your Saturday tear down. Your sense of humor cracks me up. You even had my wife laughing when you said … “that shape and that shape reminds me of something” 😂
Few things as satisfying as hearing the double *CRACK!* of the head bolts being removed.
I took the head off my first car, just because I wanted to see the insides, and I thought for sure those sounds were signs I was destroying those bolts.
This channel is awesome I’m gonna be the only one, but I wanna see a tear down of a first or second gen Mini Cooper engine.
Or that random Twin dual cam v6. From 90s GM
3.6 Vauxhall. Bmc A motors are so cute!
I love the tub on the head. Anything to keep you safe. Great show.
Same with setting a good tire pressure. Saves SO much money.
I had a 2013 and a 2016 Genesis and enjoyed the car and engine. Cool to see inside!
The head bolts sounds like my knees in the morning!
2:40 good lord that has more carbon in its intake ports than my 37 year old 300 I6 with 350,000 miles has on it!
That's gdi for you!!! The gdi/pfi systems like what Toyota uses really are what all manufacturers should employ in their new engines , makes for less of a headache on higher mileage cars.
@@d47000 Or, iono, a carburetor? Like my F150 has? CArbon'd up intake tracts just were not an issue until we started going to fuel injection.
@@TestECull multiport injection is fine, it sprays on the valves, GDI doesn't. I have GDI on my new car....can't get around it. And CARBURETORS on my 58 Cadillac. And 68 Mustang!! 😊
@@johnfranklin5277 I've been let down by fuel injection so much that I won't even consider a car with it anymore. 🤷 Carbs can act a fool just the same as EFI can, but as long as there's some means of fuel getting into the carb and back out again vaguely in the direction of the intake manifold the engine will probably still run. It may run like utter dog shit, it may be a cunt to get started, but it will still run. Not so with EFI...computer says no, that's it, can be nothing wrong with anything at all under the hood and you're just left holding the tow bill.
And I have had that happen before. A glitch on the can bus that sent erroneous fuel level information...yanno, for the fucking gas gauge...meant my mom's '03 Explorer decided it needed to totally disable the throttle and strand me NUMEROUS times. Took four shop visits and 2 grand in repairs to get the fucking thing to run again. You will NEVER have a carb go that badly wrong. Ever. The thing can have a hole shot in the side of it and you can probably still get the engine to run with a little creative bodging. Worst comes to worst a brand new carb is only a couple hundred bucks for most stock applications and can be installed by anyone who understands how to correctly use a 9/16" combination wrench
Ye. For me, EFI is a total non starter. I love my carbs. They're more dependable, rugged, and infinitely easier to service when they do go wrong.
My 2012 Genesis sedan 3.8 V6 GDI with 80K miles has never used oil. It gets changed every 4K miles with conventional 5W30. 2012 was the 1st year of the 3.8 GDI engine and 8 speed tranny. Car has never been to dealer for anything but oil changes.
My prior cars with V8s from Infiniti and GM have been oil burners.
You and RUclipsr AvE need to get together and tear some stuff apart, while simultaneously narrating it in clever, hilarious ways. This has more entertainment value than going to the movies.
The oil pump drive sprocket on the crank was spinning freely, so that's when the oil pump stopped working causing damage and likely valve train noise, but someone drove it home anyway.
I noticed that also. Maybe it's one of those newfangled "adjustable" oil pumps. ;)
Yeah, you can see it spin freely here at ruclips.net/video/IkVGgWLAv4k/видео.htmlsi=EKdwhbRhdmg3CmWC&t=692 Too bad he overlooked the fact it shouldn't be free spinning like that. Pretty much a key takeaway on why it starved for oil burning up the lower ends bearings.
I would love to see a 4.0 Audi twin turbo engine. I've never seen the guts of one of those and have had a few making 700 to 800 hp without failure.
Like the weekly videos. Even the CVT 🙂. Keep up the good work, love your comments.
Thanks for the reminder. Taking a road trip tomorrow. I'll check that dipstick before leaving. In fact might even go check it right now.
Give it a taste too!
@@ekscalybur It's a little sweet, little burnt. Reminds me of a smore.
These engines with the rwd genesis can make a decent drift car. Iv always wondered why we don't see more of them 🤔
because no one is going to build a drift car out of a luxury car, and its not like the genesis was a super hot selling car either. its way cheaper to build on platforms like old mustangs or something like a 350z because they sold a shit ton of them and theres actually aftermarket support, which i wouldnt count on for a hyundai
First you are a very likeable guy and your videos are helpful. I reference them to my customers when their engine needs to be replaced, your videos make selling them easier.
"Don't" Oh, I think I will.
I seriously look forward to the weekly teardowns just because I'm curious to see how different manufacturers solve the same problems. I'm not here so much for the explody bits that we sometimes find in the oil pan, just curiosity. I really enjoyed the CVT teardown, and the Atlas I-5 engine. Everyone has a request I'm sure, so What would be cool if you could find one is a 3A92 from a Mitsubishi Mirage, or a Ford 3.7 V6 from a mustang or F150.
As a musician I can confirm that the tuning crank is a C. Appreciate your effort to actually find out what note it made.
Mine never burned a drop of oil and i have 300K on it.
According to the instructions, it uses 500 grams of oil per thousand kilometers. The consumption of 500 grams of oil is normal. Therefore, if you fill the oil up to the full mark, you shouldn't need to add any more between oil changes, I think.
This looks like a really well built engine, at least better than most.
The wet "plops" from this engine as you pull the coils at 2:55 are my new favorite noise
My nephew has one of those engines, I'll be sure to tell him to keep an eye on the oil level. Thanks for the information 👍.
"Before we start camming crack caps loose" ???? That's perfect. Love it.
"Water pump looks perfect"
::CLANG::
Classic! Great video-
had two of these suffer from rod bearing failure. second motor was religiously taken care of with zinc additive thicker oil. it survived maybe 7 track days and then ultimately grenaded itself on the highway, shot the rods through the bottom of the block. ended up recycling the entire car and got $111 for the bare shell. couldnt even get rid of the transmission for free. literally noone cares about these cars until you need an engine, then they are $1700
Sounds like anything powered by the BMW N20. You're lucky to get anything above scrap value when (not if) the guides fail, regardless of mileage or condition. Used engines are unobtainium, and BMW wants like $20 grand for a new one.
1,700, or 17.000....
Keep the content coming, my slighten drunken Saturday nights wouldn't be the same without you and a lump of oil and some metal parts called an engine. I have zero interest in engines or tear downs, but I've learned so much! Bravo Encore
Best automotive/engine based channel on RUclips!
You don't need a bigger air hose from the tank. An intermediate/ jocky tank helps a lot. I can string out 200 feet of 1/4 " line to jockey tank and then 8 foot of 1/2" line and every thing works OK.
The best fluid passage design is from the audi 3.0 supercharged, rear oil cooler passage/gasket.
I have one of the Lambda IIs.
The biggest issue with them I see is the HPOP system. Once it starts to leak and bypass, the injectors and lifters are in danger, as are the VVT gears.
Watching your videos has driven home the message to check the oil and keep it clean with regular changes. My Subaru(s) thank you.
Love the Safety Tote Protection Device... Safety is always the most important part of an engine teardown.
Oh! What do I see? A water pump that be easily replaced? Look again. Yup. God bless the guy who did the work on the water pump.
“Water pump looks perfect” tossed aggressively 🤣
Had one in a Veracruz that when I accelerated on the freeway the oil pressure light came on and then knocking. The oil had been changed the week before and the oil level was fine. The only thing we could figure is that the oil pump, change, or tensionor failed and the warranty had ended a month prior.
As long as there is max carnage from time to time, we will always watch.
"No malice in this power palace"
Wonderful.
I’ve got a 2012 Genesis. Never had to add a drop of oil between 5000 mile changes. 2 friends loved mine and bought 2013s. Both drove around 125,000 and traded. One had transmission problems but dealer replaced. One got BMW SUV. Nothing but trouble. Shit for warranty. Other got a Kia Telluride. Loves it no problems I 3 yrs.
I would still like to see a 3.8 GM V6 but the word is they last... 25+ years?!👏 maybe someday?💖
A 10th anniversary on the back, have one of those new back on 1999, great and fun car to drive.
The condition of the small amount of engine oil that *did* come out of that pan told me everything I needed to know about how well that engine was maintained. With the American economy quickly sliding down the sewer pipe, we're probably going to see less and less preventive maintenance done on millions of vehicles as time goes on. That's because for lots of folks it'll be a question of either routine oil changes, or enough food on the table not to starve and the rest of the paycheck barely enough to pay for gas and steadily-increasing rents -- but not both.
Only if they're extraordinarily bad at managing their money. You're making a false equivalency, doubtless trying to make a political point (and failing). Move to Florida, you'll fit right in...
Nah, a 45, 50 dollar oil change every 4000 miles isn't going to make anyone go hungry.
Good...gooooood...I see you have returned Darth Safety-Tote!
Hit F for respect that smoll black shelve in background, who can hold all the weight of those parts :D those shelves are bowing nicely.
LOVE THE SAFETY HELMET
If you could get your hands on one a Kia stinger 3.3TT would be amazing to see. Hope all is well and keep up the great videos!
This was a surprisingly interesting engine. Looked more German than Korean. More Korean engines please!
