The problem these days is that there are too many out there who doesn't even know what they don't know, and as a consequence they think they know and runs into road block and instead of fixing one thing, they break 3 other things.

Eric, enjoying the series. Very thorough and I appreciate you showing when you make mistakes so that others can learn from them. You learned at least 2 things when mounting an engine to a stand: mount the stand mount to the engine first (removing it from the stand) and always, always, always verify the pin is in place unless you securely have the rotation bar firmly being held with you out of the line of fire of the bar and engine assembly, You illustrated why; you (or your cameraman) could have been seriously injured by the rotating engine assembly, the turning bar (if not removed), or both. With lesser stands, the entire assembly could have fallen to the floor (or against a foot, car, etc.). I trust you won't repeat this error; the forces can be impressive.

I love what you do man, I really admire you. You are able to manage your own shop and are cool enough to post advice and answer people's questions while making money doing your passion, and making videos of your own personal passion with cars like this Fairmont project. You have gotten to the point of being so famous and highly valued that companies like Mobile One invite you out to the race track to drive a Corvette. I watch your videos often and learn a little more each day about automotive repair in hopes that one day I can become a highly skilled car expert like you are, even if I never become a technician. I think knowing how to work on cars is a very valuable skill to have and it's very fun as a hobby. So I thank you for posting these videos, they're awesome. Keep doing what you do.

Last time I put motor on engine stand I mounted the flange on the engine and just lifted the stand and slipped it into the snout. Unless your engine stand happens to be a lot heavier than mine. Saves a lot of time.
@SuperKONR9 жыл бұрын
43:20 Whenever you put an engine on a stand, try and adjust the mounting arms so that the big center tube on the stand is in line with the camshaft so that it's balanced. It looks like you had it about in line with the crank, that's why it was top heavy and spun over. Gotta be careful with those 400lb hunks of iron. Great video, looking forward to the progress! Hopefully the transmission isn't too bad.

Eric, looking at those fasteners that are...well, they're not stripped yet, I can't recommend Time-Sert repair kits enough. They work in steel and aluminum, and are a real life saver. Infinitely better than Helicoils. The kits are a little pricey, but holy cow, totally worth it. The only reason my Integra is on the road right now is because of them. Also, please get an engine leveler. Don't life again without it. It makes the lift, and then stand mate much safer and easier.
@RobertKohut9 жыл бұрын
Adjust the stand so the engine's center of gravity is centered to make for easy rotation on the stand. That will also minimize the engine rolling quickly on it's own like in this video.Great video, I have done several engine swaps on my own and having only two hands makes it difficult at times. Great job!

Lift the engine up higher (with the stand plate attached), and then pick up the stand and slide it on there. Then lower the hoist and watch where the legs for the stand are. MUCH MUCH easier to do it that way. Its easier to position the pin while the whole thing is dangling too.

They used to make a tool to pull battery clamps off. Just use pliers to open the clamp back up by squeezing against the end of the bolt and inbetween the 2 halves of the clamp. Also should have lowered engine & trans to the ground before unbolting it. Maybe that's why the bolts came out with metal on them, because all the weight of the trans was on them.
