How to replace an engine in a car ( Do It Yourself Guide)

Guys, check out my latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3iYZauqapuokNE

[@rudyramos2562]

I am a mechanic, but I have helped install and remove some motors, but I never had the wisdom to do it myself. I appreciate this video because simple and to the point thank you. I wish you could do that to a more common motor and vehicle to save a lot of people some heartache.

[@Mike61259]

👍Good job man. When I worked at the VW dealership, they paid us 16 hours to take out the engine and put it back. Complete rebuild engine was 32h by the VW normative. That time we didn't have a air ratchet wrench, only the impact gun for the wheels.

This is a great video for people learning how to be a proper mechanic. I will stress however to those of you who want to do this, that even though all gasoline vehicles follow the same procedure, the difference in complexity and amount of parts overall is night and day for different vehicles. Example: For an experienced tech, an engine swap on a 99 Toyota Corolla will take maybe 3 hours, however a swap on a 2014 BMW 750li will take 10+ hours.

@Big Mike my 03 has a good motor but it shud be plug n play after u drop the motor. In the monte u can loosen and unhook everything and it shud drop, in the mustang for example u gotta drop the tranny to get to the motor. It shudnt be a pain da ass, go to montecarloforum.com for more help. Monte's are very strong cars if u take care of them and even wen u don't they can handle the abuse. Mines was sitting for 6 yrs a body work had to do sum minor work to it got it running for a lil then the starter got bad, tranny and motor was still good after all those yrs sitting just needed a tune up and a starter replacement believe it or not.

Absolutely amazing video quality. This is the engine swap video I've always wanted to see.

[@mr.slaphappy3794]

3:20 I've found that a good tip for removing rubber hoses (intake hoses, coolant hoses...) is to just squirt a little bit of rubbing alcohol where the hose sits on the inlet pipe, and then wiggle it side to side. It should come of pretty easily. Obviously make sure the engine is cold before you do this lol.

Does the rubbing alcohol degrade the rubber?

[@henrystory3011]

You made a difficult job look simple with simple directions. Thank you!

[@kentenfaust3042]

PLEASE MAKE SURE that you torque in a cross patter, always go diagonal to the fastener that you just torqued. This will insure that you have even torque and you don't have any pry on anything. This is a good practice for anyone installing anything, it's not just wheels on your car. TORQUE IN CROSS PATTERN. Other than that, everything looked good, really happy with this video. Just make sure to go slow and take LOTS OF PICTURES!!!! Good luck guys. Still really happy with this guys' video. THANKS A LOT DIY GUY!

[@DadsGotADeal]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Best engine swap video! All the important steps without all the small details that make a video too long. THANK YOU!!!!

[@Franko384]

If you do this for the first time: 1. Get the official Manufactrers Manual for the torque specs and 2. EVERY TIME you disconnect something, you should mark both ends with a number. That way you make sure that you can reassemble everything correctly.

[@ENTHUSIASTICFIFAFAN]

Perfect tutorial. Thanks so much!! I'm not getting trained at my shop and this video helps so much!!! Thanks for the video

[@lisaliners9707]

Thanks for the video. I'm not installing my engine a mechanic friend will be at our house. However I needed to know all the things to purchase aside from the engine (fluids etc). This was SUPER helpful! Now I understand why it's so expensive to do the clutch, A/C and alternator. Thanks for highlighting it might be time to do a radiator flush etc. My friend will be annoyed with me with all my add ons but I'll pay him!

[@bleeblee8059]

2 things I want to point out that can perhaps help you out. 1. Make sure you put the bolts in by hand to make sure that it catches the thread correctly before gunning it, this can prevent you from cross threading and or stripping the bolt you wouldn’t want to damage you engine block. 2 don’t hammer in the drive Axles directly as performed in this video as you can deform the head and give it a mushroom, instead use a wood chuck place it over the axles end and then bang it into place.

Fantastic video. I am about to embark on this task to replace a leaking rear crank seal. I am curious why you couldn't get the engine out and leave the transmission in the vehicle. Once the torque converter is unbolted from the flywheel, it looks like you only need about an inch of movement sideways to extract the engine.

It is a much better idea to install the torque converter into the transmission. That way you can be assured the convertor is fully seated. Then bolt the trans to the engine followed by the converter to flexplate bolts.

First of all I’d like to say great video. It was very informative and easy to follow along for people who are just starting out working on cars... which gets me to my next point. I have been teaching my son about cars since he was two (he just turned five) and I was wondering if this was a reasonable project for him to do on his own. I recently picked up a 67 pontiac firebird that’s been stuck in the previous owners driveway for the better part of thirty-five years. Of course, it needs a new engine and I thought that this would be the perfect first major project for him. He’s changed three transmissions, replaced an intake, replaced two exhaust systems and replaced a head on my 69 mustang boss 429. Do you think that this can be done by a five year old. Thanks in advance for any help on the matter.

[@leejackson7331]

One thing I will say is whenever you’re hitting a splined or threaded shaft is put the nut on before you hit it with a hammer so you don’t damage and distort the end

[@spiritgaming4036]

Still the best engine replacment video make more with sr20 and stuff

[@illuminateme8182]

Here's a decent trick.. don't just disconnect ANY part of the fuel system until you pull the fuel pump relay and drain all the parts of fuel. You can drain the fuel delivery components by cranking the engine after disconnecting the fuel pump. It probably isn't the best way of doing it.. but I suppose you aren't putting an engine on a hoist every single day either; so it shouldn't hurt it.

Maybe I missed something, but please no negative comments. When lowering and tilting the engine back into the engine bay can you have a lift underneath to hold the engine steady while the crane is attached for added support while piecing it back to all the engine mounts or did the crane handle all the weight while lowered back into the bay? Also if you have to take out transmission and assuming this is all being taken out from the top, use jack stands to support transmission while loosening all the bolts, and then how would I keep the transmission steady while unloosening?
