Transcripts

went it wrong way okay flip the on top

of this where the socket is there's a

little this one yep turn it yep there

you

go

okay I should just pop out pick it up

let me pick it

up let me pick it

up oh got

it what's the point out yet again that I

am not as tall as you that's

good we're going to put an engine in

this 2019 Hyundai Tucson we diagnosed it

in a previous video it had a dead Miss

and it smoked like a freight train yeah

this is what happens it's been running

for what 2 minutes there is a hole in

the number two

piston well I don't think a spark plug

is going to fix this

problem so that right

there looks like a big hole in the

Piston before we do that though I want

to address some of the comments from the

first video I love reading the comments

I think we have one of the best comment

sections on YouTube but sometimes you

guys get a little too optimistic or

maybe I'm a little too pive istic I

don't know but it ain't my first rodeo

and I like to be honest so let me share

the

reality a lot of people said this would

be covered by warranty obviously since

I'm doing the job it was not covered by

warranty the warranty covers the

2017 doesn't cover the

2019 used engines are very expensive the

one we bought cost

$5,300 and I got a lot of comments

saying that that was crazy

I totally agree I can't do anything

about that cost but a lot of people said

why don't you just buy a reman engine

from the dealership it's probably

cheaper some of you had the price all

the way down to 2500 bucks for a long

block so I called the dealership a reman

engine costs

$6,700 but the big problem is you can't

get one they don't exist they don't even

have a lead time time we have no idea

when we could get one which probably

means that there is a pending warranty

problem with these cars and all the

dealerships are sucking up all the

engines to replace them and eventually

it's going to be covered it just hasn't

gotten there

yet the other comment I got was why

don't we just fix the engine tear it

apart replace the Piston or rebuild it

or

whatever if this was my car 100% that is

what I would

do the problem is it's customer's car

and a catastrophic failure like a hole

in a piston doesn't just happen by

itself uh in my experience there's

always something else that goes along

with that so if we tear the engine apart

we're probably going to find that

there's a bad rod bearing or a bad wrist

pin bushing or a valve that's bent or

there's going to be some catastrophic

damage to the bottom side of the head

something else will be damaged I

guarantee it and then we have to get a

machine shop involved

and there's only two kinds of machine

shops at least in my area there's the

good machine shop that can do anything

they can grind crankshafts they can weld

up blocks they can do it all but if I

take Parts there I will not see them for

6 months and I know that because I've

done that the other type of machine shop

is the mom and pop backyard machine

shop they can't do as much but they are

a little faster and a little cheaper but

they only want to work on push rod V8

engines and they've got enough of that

work to keep them busy they're just not

interested in working on this kind of

stuff there isn't a machine shop in our

area where you can walk in with overhead

cam aluminum block Parts have them

machined in a reasonable time at a

reasonable cost it just it's not

possible here

so that's why we're doing what we're

doing we're going to put a used engine

in it and we're going to hope for the

best he told me that it burns a lot of

oil I don't know if the the new

replacement engine is going to be the

same or not hopefully not

but yeah I didn't spill it did you spill

it

no it's okay we only spilled most of it

we're on the lift backwards and I pulled

off the hood that's so I can reach the

engine with the

crane because I want to pull it out the

top and if you read the service manual

or I'm sure the entire comment section

they will tell you to drop the engine

transmission cradle front suspension the

whole thing out the bottom and they will

argue till they're blue in the face that

that is faster and

better in my experience it's pretty much

a wash and I prefer to come out the top

if I can especially on a four-cylinder

engine where there's lots of room to

work lots of room to get the thing

out because the less I can mess with

that cradle the better if I take the

bolts loose we're going to have to have

an alignment and I can't do that myself

so they got to take it somewhere else

it's an additional cost and time for the

customer also where I live there's rust

and this car is pretty clean it's you

know it's only what four years old but

I've had several bad experiences taking

out the Cradle bolts and having the nuts

spin inside the subframe or even

worse tear off the part of the subframe

or break the bolts then you got to go in

and weld in patches and it takes a lot

of time and it is not fun so

we'll try it if it doesn't work we'll go

out the

bottom

uh-oh now the battery is totally

spanked so we're got to have a new one

of

those

[Applause]

really all

right are we seeing the problem

[Music]

rodents well that's gone

forever okay now we just need to kind of

peel

this wiring harness

off a

really there we

go this whole thing should just kind

of peel off

[Applause]

like

so

okay don't lose

that

really

[Applause]

let's work on the bottom side for a

bit I tell you what there's a pile of

bolts in this undercover but it's

probably the first one I've ever seen

that wasn't all torn

up

broken still got all the

Fasteners think I found Mouse Nest

number

two must be his summer home where's Max

when you need

him sleeping on the

job the AC compressor's got to come

off well they don't make that easy to do

do

they to get a wrench for that

one

should be converter bolts behind this

little

cover

it's kind of a weird setup it looks like

the ring gear is on the torque converter

and there really is no flex plate just

this

little

spider

okay now very important in our

climate push the converter

back there it goes the tendency is for

the pilot to get frozen in the end of

the crankshaft the problem is when you

go to pull the engine off the

transmission bell housing the converter

will come with it and then you're kind

of kind of screwed because the converter

we stop the engine from sliding

up just happened to walk by and I heard

a hissing

sound that's not

good not good at

all I don't know if I have a shut

off

[Laughter]

[Music]

okay well we're going to be without

water until I can get that

fixed I don't know how that happened

this is insulated space the Heat's been

on I don't know maybe it just got too

cold

oh I think there's a bracket down there

that's got to come loose I kind of think

we're

done on the bottom side I pulled the

compressor the starter this front wiring

harness the flex plate bolts the bell

housing bolts

and the exhaust is also

loose this drive shaft does not have a

dummy shaft that connects to the engine

so we don't have to worry about that

that's kind of

cool I don't know I don't want to jinx

myself but so far this is going pretty

pretty

easy I love stuff like

this you know what that's

for it's basically

a tuning weight so there was some

frequency of vibration that they didn't

like and instead of redesigning the

bracket They just added a weight to it

kind of like shortening a tuning fork

okay that side's free couple of bell

housing bolts and we should be a able to

[Applause]

extract

that was pretty easy like almost too

easy

huh

supposedly this engine has 75,000 mil

it's out of a

2020 looks the same to me I did go ahead

and put some antise on the exhaust studs

and the alignment Dows and a little bit

on the pilot of the torque converter

just to make it a little easier here for

the next guy because I'm almost 100%

confident that this engine will also

fail eventually they just they don't

seem to be very welld designed think we

got a problem here this little post is

broken off for the the engine cover

that's not a big deal but it looks like

this hard line the bracket is bent and

it looks to me like it bashed into the

intake manifold and maybe broke it

[Music]

but my suspicion is

confirmed that's not

good so I guess we better swap the uh

intake manifold off the other

engine

ah that one's broken

too that's got to be my fault well we

can fix

that

I think we're ready my repair

looks extremely professional got it tied

up with some wire it'll take 24 hours or

more for that epoxy to cure it's pretty

cold

today let's put it

in

I think that's

it we're lined up one of the bolts is

tight I don't know this is going too

easy it's making me very

nervous spin on a new oil

filter okay everything's bolted up put

back in place plugged

in we should be done on the bottom side

for right now it's nothing to it it's

pretty much just the opposite of taking

it apart we're getting pretty close we

need

to untangle the

[Applause]

spaghetti

lots of satisfying

[Applause]

clicks couple of hoses and

we're pretty much

there tell you what I don't know how I

ever lived without a skid steer this

thing is the handiest machine for

plowing and snow it's been getting a

workout

too all right I charged the battery for

a way long

time let's

see how bad it is I got a feeling it's

pretty

bad but you never

know okay that's a what 600 cold

cranking amp so we need to turn this to

[Music]

300 count to

[Music]

15 I don't know that's not too

bad stuck around 9 volts it's pretty

cold

today maybe we don't need a

battery well I'll charge it a little

more and we'll stick it back in we've

got coolant we got oil we've got a

battery I think we're ready for the

moment of Tru truth okay here we

go it's probably going to smoke quite a

bit until it burns all the oil out of

the

converter let's see what she

[Music]

does s pretty

good

cool like I said a little

Smokey with the hole in the Piston it

turned the number two cylinder into an

oil pump and I'm sure the converter and

the whole Muffler whole exhaust system

is full of oil

so yeah better open the

door we're

charging I did forget one hose I think

it was for the purge

valve engine runs

good smoke seems to have cleared

up I think we're good to

go I'm seconding myself up I know it's

not heavy but it's above my

head

no lights so far looks like a nice sunny

day but it is pretty awful 7°

fah winds about 30 m an

hour driving conditions really aren't

very good this thing's got pretty much

bald tires we're going to take it easy

it's running good so

far there you go 6° F I think that's

about minus somewhere between -5 and -2

C supposed to be -4 Fahrenheit

tonight which is what I don't know - 25

Celsius or

something there's a snow

rainbow kind of

cool we're down to

3° which is not cool

uh car is running good the only problem

I have currently is there's no

heat so I don't know what the deal is

with

that must be a lucky snow rainbow cuz

now we have

heat probably a bubble in the

coolant kind of hope we get a break in

the snow I'm running out of places to

put

it

that's what we want to

see I think we're

done that wasn't too

bad I would almost say that was pretty

easy that might be one of the easiest

front-wheel drive engine swaps I've done

at least on a on a modern

car it's kind of baffling that's going

to cost almost

$7,000 but I guess that's just the new

reality

yeah thanks for

watching there is one one little wrinkle

that might cause me to lose a little

sleep I was cleaning up under the

car and I found

this it is a section of a wiring harness

with two wires that has been cleanly

nibbled on both

ends and I looked high and low I could

not find any Dam image to the wiring

harness on this

car so I don't know if that came from

somewhere else or if it came from

something that I just didn't

find but uh yeah our friends the

rodents got another

one it sucks that the pipe broke and we

had a leak but there's actually a lot of

good news here the bottom pipe is the

hot water pipe it runs up the wall and

comes out right here where I've already

capped it off I think the SP it sprung a

leak last year I never used that

so we should be able to just disable it

it's also super lucky that the pipe

broke during the day while I was working

plus it's an exposed pipe it's not

buried in a wall or up in an attic or

basement should be a pretty easy fix

[Music]

don't cut the good one

[Music]

Wes

[Music]

it's useless let it

[Music]

[Music]

leak

there we

go well I'm no plumber but I'm pretty

sure you're not supposed to have ice in

your

pipes yeah there's your problem right

there

unbelievable I mean it's inside

insulated space that's it's heated 24

hours a day and it still

froze I guess it's been pretty cold

outside oh

boy my pvc cement has gone from liquid

to

solid man that's not very good I think

I've got some other

[Music]

all right got some new

cement it's much more

liquid wouldn't be a proper DIY project

without at least two trips to the

hardware

store okay we'll let that set 2 hours to

cure time has

passed let's crack it open and

see if it

leaks

I don't see any

drips there we

go a quick and amputation and we're back

in

business yeah this this setup works but

just

barely the water system is super

sketchy so this is the pump I have to

keep the fan shroud off so I can

manually kick the motor over because if

it doesn't run for more than 24 hours

the pump locks

up

yeah there's nothing nothing even

remotely up to code about that

setup or the electrical for that

matter and they probably shouldn't

be right next to each

other but

uh I'm on like day four of snow I'm over

it we're all over it all

over who needs a Coke it's onlyus 4 this

is 45°

outside is he missing yeah I don't know

where he is wonder if he went

inside it's very cold

today very very

cold no h

l are you ready ready

go the snow pile was three Volkswagen

tall it settled a little bit it's only

about 2 and a half Volkswagen's tall

yeah

there's come to the other

side
