Your issue isn't just tied to 08 gallardos - it's the pre-lp engines in general that had the awful cats, they break down due to over-fuelling and the engine then ingests the ceramic material and scores the bores, apart from that, the engines if looked after, have no other major problems. I own an 08 SL too, luckily cats were removed and swapped for Larini sports cats very early in it's life. Also, months for a rebuild? find someone else, pretty standard, just swap out the pistons and rods for decent Carillo versions and it can be done in a couple of weeks.
Some engines were more prone to cats breaking down on the header side, the fine ceramic dust getting sucked in due to reversion/valve overlap - the damage can already be done even if the cats are then removed as debris can reside in the rings. A few Nissan engines of the same era had similar issues and really down to a combination of poor cat material, overfuelling, pop+bang maps and header design.
@@krusher74Negative pressure. It has happened to many different engines with mediocre cats from the factory. Mercedes has had issues with them before.
@@krusher74 modern engines have exhaust cleaning, the exhaust gasses are fed back into the intake i *think* that may be one of the reasons they can destroy the engine, also heard that astons of that time period had the same problem
I wonder if driving around with your dash lit up like a christmas tree had anything to do with it? Maybe more maintenance and less straight pipe next time.
As a gated pre LP 2006 owner I feel your pain. I almost bought an 08 that I was going to convert and was having its engine rebuilt. I waited over a year for engine out. Boring. Sleeving. Etc before I switched to the one I have now. I do think it is worth fixing tho. I run the motorpixel site and like you say one of ten in USA for white SL. Also that cake looked good. 😉
Just to make my last comment more concise. Gordon you could do a tavarish style series of videos documenting the process of repairing the engine. It’ll be a very unique process as it’s such a rare car it’s probably not been done on RUclips before. Meaning it’ll probably bring in lots of views and lots of new subscribers which means you can turn the negative into a positive. I for one would find it fascinating seeing the engine taken apart, the pistons the scoring etc!. It could also be a whole new section for your channel, Gordon/effspot buys Ferrari, Porsche with damaged engine to rebuild follow the journey. It’ll be unique because it’s just focusing on pristine cars that have engine problems!.
I feel ya bro. Just finished rebuilding my 01 vette z06 motor in my driveway because I got lifter tick, and also had a melted piston. It’s been a damn money pit because I push it to its limits but I will never sell it. It means a lot to me, first car/sports I ever bought at 19 cash like you. 30k and 6-8 months is a joke. Call around and see who has the best to offer, or see if you can hunt down the parts you need so they can immediately get started. I would think someone can do it for low 20s at least.
I feel your pain Gordon. Sucks when one of your babies is sick. Look at it this way. You have 800k subs. You only need about 2500 of them to buy a mini Mr. Sheep and your rebuild is paid for! C'mon gang! Let's fix Effspot's 1 of 8 or 10 Lambo!
Go to another garage because they rip you off and also the time. It doesn't take months, just 2 weeks of work to do it. And for 10k a garage can do it perfectly.
the 992 GT3 is ruby stone red , its a good colour I guess , unreal on the reventon though, I saw 1 myself this year number 13, its funny yorkville in toronto is like BH in so many ways , my buddy has a great dane dog in the exact colour way and walks around, Zach probally has seen my buddies dog in ?
Hardly a "worst case scenario" the block and probably most of parts are still fine, all it needs is cylinder honing and maybe in worst case scenario new pistons but obviously they should replace all bearings, piston rings and other wear items (oil and water pump rebuild?) while at it and even measure crank just to be safe for another years of use. 6 months and $30k for a rebuild due to scored cylinders walls? It seems to me like just a edge case of exotic car tax on repairs in US. Any machining shop could do this kind of rebuild, I get it might be expensive car but at the end of the day it is just a typical engine not a rocket engine it is no different than any other car be it v6 camry or some small block v8.
I agree, there might be an exotic tax on repairs but I've spoken with a friend who owns a high mileage Superleggera. He's torn down the car himself and his engine needs a rebuild. I asked if the 30k+ quote was accurate and he agreed it was. Parts alone are going to be 20-25k. If you have any other suggestions I'd love to hear them!
RE the Lambo, it's going to be down to the rings and if they changed the lubrication system on the 08. It's going to be worth doing, and it taking that long (it can be done much faster).. but.. when the workshop can do it, in and around other jobs that way they will actually make some money, doing engine jobs that big it's really hard to make any money as a mechanic, so better going this route. I'm sure you are aware. Can i get a Mr Sheep sent to the UK?
I'm really sorry for you. But keep your head up. It'll be stronger than the old one... So for the future engine take my advice: optimize the ECU software. When u brought the Lambo u said that there are no catalytic converters.... So it's possible that the ECU runs on too hot exhaust temps. Wich can cause the oil consumption, because the pistons or piston rings start to melt and scratch the bore. Sorry for my bad english but I hope you read this and it'll help sort out future damage Greetings from Germany
I wish we were personal friends. I live in Tacoma and could of saved you a flight, a headache and could of sent you a good video of the squatter removal process lol.
Sorry to hear the news about the lamb. But you will be back and better than ever in due time. I’d rather you be financially comfortbale than have a bunch of new cars, but an RS6 would be awesome to see and I know you’ve mentioned it in the past 👀
I know how you feel with your cars, that’s exactly why I like about my ‘08 S6, not many of them around anymore and it’s a fun car since it has the 5.2L V10 👌🏻
The thieves kept coming night after night. When we landed they attempted to get in the house multiple times. I even chased them out and ran them off the road. They still came back. I've never seen anything like that before!
No yes I’m the same I literally save/saved up to buy everything I have including my car. Which some people say is stupid and others say is gloating. Which I think it’s neither I just like you prefer to wait and own what I have outright. I’d rather pay upfront and say own a bmw then pay monthly for say a Porsche and not own it or be paying it off for years to own it and say you lose your job and can’t continue payments for the car you lose it and everything you’ve paid into it. So yes that’s what doubly sucks and I feel for Gordon because I also really take good care of my things so knowing the engine needs rebuilding really sucks and is not something I’d wish on someone, the same with health I never wish any form of misfortune on anyone!. Hopefully this will be a blessing in disguise!. Hopefully the opportunity to document the engine rebuilding of such a rare car will outweigh the cost of the rebuild in terms of views and sponsorship. Hopefully it’ll mean you/Gordon can do a tavarish type series of videos which turns a negative into a positive!.
It's the CX-30 people say the Purosangue looks like. I can sort of see it but wonder how long it'll be before there's an aftermarket nose kit to make your Mazda look more like a Ferrari. And I still think the Urus looks like a RAV4 - sure doesn't sound like one though!
Your Lambo is in safe hands with you Gordon! fucking expensive but you appreciate and respect what you have. A lot of people would just move it on or drive it into the ground.
Always get a 2nd opinion when it comes to cars no matter if economy all the way to exotic. Alot of times, these shops do get it wrong. This would be the time to get super creative with content. Maybe partner with another RUclipsr on a rebuild. TJ Hunt or Royalty exotic.... etc etc. But this would be a good car series for transparency on the potential rebuild for the superleggera. When in doubt, reach out to the banks. If you own the vehicle out right, you might be able to pull equity out of that vehicle for the rebuild and max out the months for repayment for cash flow purposes.
Might want to get a new EGR valve and a crank case pressure gauge monitor Gordon. Hope you were not using synthetic oil...old cars don't like it so much G.

How would parts from the cat go backwards into the engine?

Tough times never last, you will get through, Gordon! Can't wait to see Superleggera, Bosozoku, and S600 back. Much love brotha
Sheepyleggera will be back in business. Unfortunately these things can happen. Especially knowing the history of this car as it was rarely driven.
1:48 that's a cow 🐄😂

True an engine rebuild doesn't cost 30k. Maximum 10k for a sports car. Also it does take 2-3 weeks but not months.

When I saw the SF90 for the first time I saw an updated version of the firebird my mom had back in the early 90's. Bummer about the Lambo .

gonna buy a sheep now to support you, i wish you the best effspot
Very sorry to hear about your Friend's situation and sorry to hear about your Superleggera, Gordon!! That sucks, my Friend!!
Sorry to hear Gordon, good luck!
I want a micro sheep with wings for my mirror. I’ll keep checking back…
A white '08 Superleggera is cooler than the Huracan and Aventador in my opinion. Respect for not selling it.
Thanks man. The Superleggera sounds way better than any Huracan variant or LP Gallardo. It's going to be a classic in no time!
6:12 woah, Mega Cruisers are super rare, and there only a couple on the US
Hats off to anyone who drives one!

Sell it to DDE
9:00 homie goin thru some shit lmao who brings a book out with your friends
Thats a Maserati OEM paint on the Quattroporte, its called 'Blu Denim'
I about died with the butter cake 😊
I want a mr. sheep but the shipping to Canada is crazy
4:38 come on effspot surely you know that iconic color.. Ruby Stone Red 🧐
Store the lambo until you're ready.
its will be "stored" for months while its being fixed.

Tune the Lambo motor like Japan Style :D
I believe the color on the GT3 is Rubystone
Ay nooo, I’m glad effspot is here though
