Being called a “nut” is a compliment for me. Nothing gets done if everyone is thinking the same way.
Great watching a proper mechanic at work, reminds me of helping my friend removing gearbox from my father's old hillman in a garage here in England, only time i helped got fluids all over me, great to see a proper mechanic at work.
it gets harder as every year passes.im 60 & i dread getting under my vehicles anymore.but you gotta do, what you gotta do.not paying someone else until i cant get back up again. brain still works ok...body,...not so much.
You keep putting off work under the car as you get older.
Not fun anymore.
i hear ya, a hydro lift is looking really good now-a-days LOL
Decided when I moved to Tennessee I wasn't going to work off the floor anymore, bought a lift and had the garage built to accommodate it. Now I've been able to do my own work and assist my neighbors on their vehicles. Great video and it doesn't matter how long the it is just enjoy it. One can always watch it half way through pause and then finish it, make believe it's two videos. Stan from Thorn Hill tn.
The distributor cap behind the water pump was what got me scratching my head 😅
I am 72 years old and I really don't like working on the floor under a car , so I stopped lol.
Mechanic for 45 years and I won't work on my stuff anymore
I’m 81 and my son in law and I just spent 3.5 hours installing a class 1 trailer hitch on my Toyota Camry, never again, I’m through laying on my my back under a car, I’ll leave that to the young guys like Kenny. Lol
Wow! Good for you, though. You got it done. Love to hear stories like yours. Thanks for sharing & watching. You're gonna keep wrenching. It's engraved in your DNA now 🔧
My neighbor was 73 when he taught 17 year old me how to do brakes. I’m 57 now. He was 80 when he put a new roof on his house himself. He was 92 when he passed and was in good shape until about the last 2 years of his life. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude for all he taught me, both about mechanics and life. St Lank, pray for us.
I'll get on my back to do my own work, but i hate it and put it off if i can until i can get to my buddys place and put it on his lift. i am 70
I like the long and super long video 's... keep em coming...
Me 2
Enjoyed the video brother Kenny. It took you a couple of days to make and it took me a couple of days to watch the entire video. It was well worth the time. I'm sure that I had the easier task.
Squirrel has a family gathering under the hood lol,bad thing is, they didn't invite us 😅
Well hello again Mr Kenny 😊 hope things are going ok. In 4 days, I'll be 60 lol and sometimes I really feel it lol. Thank you for sharing this,next project, the AMC, I hope anyway 😊
Oh my goodness! Happy early birthday Bobby! Meg & I have birthdays this month too. I enjoy seeing your replies on the feed. Thanks for watching & keep wrenching brother. You're just hitting your stride at 60 years old.
@@WrenchingWithKenny Well Kenny Thank you sir, and I wish you and Meg, a very happy early birthday as well sir. Thank you for the great shows and keep em coming please. 😸
So a LONG time ago I installed long tube headers on my 96 z28. The back manifold bolt broke off in the head. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the new headers used a different bolt hole in the head.
You are a patient man Kenny. This is the most bizzare tranny engine removal I have ever witnessed. I have removed engines, AOD's and 5 speeds from my various Mustangs using jackstands, an ehgine hoist and a floor jack and never have I encountered the difficulties you faced faced with this crappy design. Of course I was younger then, I'm too old now to crawl under my current ride, a 5.0 LX. I just drive and enjoy these days. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing.
That clutch probably is used so the pressure is applied to the rim, so the most friction plate area is directly acted on by it, allowing the moving mass to be lighter, and thus more responsive.
That's very true when you are talking about something while you are doing it that always helps with an idea
I am 79 and just had my back bolted together, but everything seems OK but my Toyota Coaster Diesel died last year , managed to get a Turbo motor from a Dyna truck, import to Australia, good friend helped me, there was just a little more room to work than in that Camaro. But now I face blow-by issues, have built an oil catcher with electric pump returning oil to motor, that worked for a while but now it has got to the point I have to open her up to see what can be done. Engine starts and runs beautifully. Ted from down under
Also if there's a will there's a family member with their hand out!!! Lol😂
Vacuum cleaner I took one of the nozzles and cut it down, then used epoxy to attach a piece of thick walled PVC hose to it, so you have a flexible and bendable nozzle to reach into tight places. Diameter inside a little bigger than the width of the nozzle, and it was around 30cm 1 foot long, so it reached into tight places. Was great for removing all sorts of gunk, and was a good nozzle. Washed it, and the hose, with engine degreaser after using to remove blobs of grease and such, so the hose would not be sticky, though you can buy the hose in 30 foot bulk packs, so if it needs replacing easy to fut a new length off the roll and toss the old one away.
Another excellent and informative video. Thanks! But hey Kenny, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel about that distributor. 😊
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Awesome movie Hollywood here comes Kenny lol love your videos
This comment me get a little long. You made a comment saying that a lot of people want to see you go through every little bolt nut screw whatever. I'm a hobbyist mechanic. I just want a general reference on how to remove or replace the part reverse order to reinstall. I know it would be a lot of work on your end of it to edit, but can you please put out two versions of the video one short for people who can understand what you're doing and one long one for everybody has to see every bolt nut and screw being removed. I was still probably watch you. Best to you and your family good luck in the future.
I an 70 .There is nothing i like about that car other than the color the wife as a 2017 kis soul i replace the nose drive side finder and rad from a deer hit kia dealer did the motor 2 years ago under warranty it throwed a rod at 75000 but some other parts i had to pay for my out of pocket was 2000 for tires ,brakes ,ball joints and a fuel pump glad they did it form me
Playlists, you do every aspect- electrical,fuel, cooling,transmission,misfire,diagnostics,maintenance etc all chucked in. Utube search tool.?
The pool style clutch provides less wear and tear then they push style clutch on the pressure plate
If it's for sale, I'll buy the motor and even the trans from you if you're not too far over the TN line since I'm in North GA.
A pull instead of a push pressure plate is for higher horse power and higher torque engines.
could be wrong but it seems to me those motors were built by mercury marine back in the day,they sent a letter to all gm dealers that if a customer brought his car in the dealership,,any problem in the engine dealers where to take the whole motor out and ship it back to mercury marine for repairs
Put a short blade on and keep heel of saw against work the tool works better
Not much of a crumble zone under the hood.
Another hour long video. That’s a lot of popcorn to make.
I definitely appreciate having a lift at work. Thanks for watching & keep wrenching 🔧
@@WrenchingWithKenny 👍My wife went out to get a bucket of KFC.
That's great! Enjoy
A power ratchet would allow you to get into tight spaces without having to go back and forth with the handle.
The power ratchets I have (both air and electric) are too big and clunky for the tight work.
As far as I know the actual way to remove the engine in those cars is to drop the complete subframe cradle.
Back when, was nice to be able to remove engine and tranny as an assembly. All in 1 shot. Maybe that was just on a pickup truck
That engine is so far in, it should have came with a “doghouse “ for easy access.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching 🔧
Why cutting exhaust...it won't unbolt?
It's exhaust, it's not coming apart w/o a fight. He's not reusing those parts, the saw is the fastest option.
Good practice for stealing cat converters.
Easy way to remove engine strip to long block and put back the same way
Nice work but how come you not doing this down at your shop on one of the car lifts be bit easier
Also forgive my ignorance but is this the V8 or the V 6 as V8 way nicer or are you putting one in
Cheers mate
The throttle body inlet looks bent on the bottom from prying off the water pump!
Why vacuum a motor that you don’t want /need ?
Why didn't you drop it out the bottom like it is supposed to you have room to put a roller under the motor then lift the front up and slide it out the front and let the back drop down
Rip the engine out with flywheel and bell housing? No?
yes Kenny that's the first time I have heard of a pull out clutch weird man .
It's definitely an odd set up & I'm not a fan. Thanks for watching & keep wrenching 🔧
You need some power tools
Your ratchet combination wrench sure is loud.
It sure is, but Mrs Wrenching actually likes the sound, so I continue to use the set. Thanks for watching 🔧
You just need a real impact.
Verbalising your thoughts is normal when problem solving.
Thank you for the reassurance. Sometimes I question my sanity. Thanks for watching & keep wrenching!
Hey Kenny. I like most of your videos, but I don't like super long ones. I'm sure a lot of people like long videos, just not for me. Maybe break it up into parts. Just my two cents.
Just like guns. If you don’t like them don’t buy one…. Just don’t watch!
@@frankarchuleta5427 I didn't watch, that's the point, but I don't know what your point is. Are you OK?
More like.....evicted from it's home
Don't care about the old engine? It might be worth some money to someone looking to do a concours resto. Money that could be spent on "the" project. FB Market Place!
Entirely too long Kenny. We started watching you because you got straight to the point. Definitely don't have time for this.
Us retirees have nothing else to do. You’ll find out.
Have a mouse in your pocket? Speak for yourself.
Then skip though it are is that to hard for you to do
@@donames6941 got a 'i want to be Kenny's friend' watcher. Gotta love those types.
Need to swap your font subframe configuration.
