I remember when he was working for the City of Chicago (or something like that) fixing all the broke down Chevys they run out there, and man.. he's come SO DARN FAR with his passion for automotive madness!! I don't think you all realize how IMPORTANT that subscribe button is to hit, and it's just a click of the mouse.. it's NOTHING to you.. seriously, dude quit his day job to focus on US 100% of the time and honestly doesn't ask us for anything!

    Really liking that you're back on the two upload per week schedule, thank you! Side note - that Delorean would be amazing with an NA M156 with a T56 or Porsche manual gearbox (depending on fitment and available adaptors).

    • @chesspiece81
      @chesspiece81 6 месяцев назад +1

      I don't think a T56 would work because since the DMC is a rear engine, you would need a transaxle and not a transmission. So a Porsche 5 or 6 speed would probably be the best setup.

    • @Works2Shoot
      @Works2Shoot 6 месяцев назад

      @@chesspiece81 I was originally going to say transaxle, but I have seen LS1 swaps with the T56 so I wasn't sure. But yea the easiest would be the Porsche G50 or I think 915 from what I've read.

    Wow 13:13 that engine looks amazing. I wish I could be like you when it comes to cleaning. I think one thing that makes your channel different is that you care about your cars so much everything has to be perfect. Most mechanics are like the the interior of that miter is what matters and they don't give a damn about what the outside looks like. You strive to make all your vehicles show quality and almost factory perfect (maybe with some additions). Vroom vroom

    I’m a 12 year W204 C63 owner. Very gratifying to see this motor in such good condition as mine also has 85,000 miles.
    I also have installed a blower (ESS) 8psi kit. Prior to install we did a compression test, ARP head studs and cam phaser plates. Killer chiller rounds out the build.

    @ManKidRides 6 месяцев назад +1

    Instead of pulling up against the prybar trying to hold down against the floor, flip the torque wrench over to above the pry bar and push it down which will assist to hold the pry bar into the ground. You will also be able to add more weight or add a hollow extension pole for more leverage.

    @mbfixer1694 2 месяца назад

    The chamber attached to the idler gear is actually a spinning centrifuge for crankcase breathing. It's a really good idea to inspect inside the breather hose port on the front of the timing cover with a borescope camera before bolting the cover on. That will ensure the reverse mounted seal on the inside of the cover isn't pinch rolled on the centrifuge. Ask me how I know.

    That timing chain idler oil slinger is for the crankcase ventilation. It uses the centrifugal force to sling out the Oil, to keep it from being pulled out with the air. The dodge 3.6l base one on the end of the camshaft.

    All the engines I ever worked on in depth (cars and bikes) were pre-2000. I am a time-served marine fitter, and have worked on ship's engines (main, aux & generators), plus steam turbines. I have never worked on anything as complex as you seem to have in every one of your cars. Impressive. FYI, checking the bores in a marine diesel main engine, you just climb in and stand on the piston 😁
