      Not sure about using that old jumper to clean the bores though.

    Juggling a full time job, family life and every other day stuff and you still manage to produce fantastic to watch content, a proper grafter Dean! Mega impressed! This channel should have a lot more subscribers, you work ethic and time spent explaining stuff is second to none and you should be really proud of yourself

    Great progress. A little tip for you put a dot of paint on each bolt after its torqued so when you come back later you know what had been done 👍 looking forward to the next installment

  • @malfunction8165
    @malfunction8165 Год назад +2

    So everyone, lube up your rings before insertion and connecting to the shaft, or you'll break your rods.

  • @stephendutton3766
    @stephendutton3766 Год назад +3

    The detail is perfect. When I've watched others doing similar, I'd always thought they were cutting corners, and yours shows how it should be done. I'd imagine most of this would apply regardless of the engine type so the extra info is great.

    Wonderful to enjoy watching an engine rebuild being done meticulously. Dean, you certainly know what you are doing...years of knowledge put to the test. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next part. Cheers, Bob

  • @andrewgrimshaw5180
    @andrewgrimshaw5180 Год назад +3

    That was incredibly well done. Very impressive - the last time I did anything complicated on a car was 40 yrs ago on my first mini 1000!

  • @johnhounslea4226
    @johnhounslea4226 Год назад +1

    Absolutely amazes me to see an engine like that in complete pieces only for someone to put it back together & it actually works !! I get a sweat on changing light bulb !!! Can't wait to hear that awesome v8 burst back into life, great content Dean.

    @Peter-o Год назад +2

    What about the gaps between crank and bearings, I think you should check it before torque with special paste to match the footprint on wideness

    Little tip for you, when clamping the rings on the piston, leave some skirt exposed to help line up the piston/liner when installing. Great work for personal build.

  • @v12dot
    @v12dot Год назад

    I’ve got an identical 07 black manual 20k miles since I got it new .I’ve put off watching you videos as mine was in for a crank seal and clutch ….lack of use ! One other thing to look out for , is the transfer shaft seal and bearing .
    Luckily it was found when they were in there , or it would have been grim ! You’re doing great pal 👍Can’t wait to see her up and running .

    I replaced my DPF pressure sensor today only breaking 1 plastic clip in the process & dropping just a single screw that was never to be found again, if only I'd seen your video first and how easy you make it look I might have rebuilt my entire engine and transmission whilst I had my adjustable spanner and bent nose pliers handy!!

  • @adamr9600
    @adamr9600 Год назад

    Good work Dean.
    It’s amazing the last engine I rebuilt was a Mercedes M114 (2.5 i6) from the late 60’s and the bottom end rebuild has very little difference in process/design in how they go together, guess it’s proof that the IC engines design and very concept was nailed years ago. I know once you get to the heads and ancillaries there is huge advancement. 👍🏻

    @jonnyduncan7056 Год назад

    Top work, I did a 2.0L, 16V Vauxhall C20XE for my Kit Car four years ago and the engine strip down and rebuild was the most enjoyable part. You have another four pistons, too.. Really enjoy the streams and your attention to detail is amazing and you juggle lots of balls in the air at the same time.

    @MrHuismeester Год назад

    For some wan like me who is totally a nitwit on engine it is still a very nice video to watch ! Now i understand a little more why engine can be very expensive because they are very time consuming ! And for also very complicated to (re)build. To see how precisely you are working and all off the patient you put in to this job, i can understand why you become a mechanic, because in the end this engine will run again !

  • @adreanlouw1668
    @adreanlouw1668 Год назад

    Good choice to use the other crank Audi and Volkswagen uses color coded bearings and if that is not spot on in the sizing department you are going to sit with a oil pressure problem and you will run bearing and end up with a engine knock
