It's just wrong that someone has paid somewhere a LOT of money to have that engine rebuilt and they've used all that silicone everywhere.. naughty that

[@mbrylewski]

There are so many cowboys out there. It is so difficult to find honest experts unless it's this company

[@grantreed9899]

Mate as an Aussie that owns a B7 RS4 i appreciate the fact you guys have decided and persisted with refurbishing such a neglected old weapon of a car! Its a real shame it has been left in the state it has but for you to put in the effort and not just throw away such a special car is a testament to your character and shows you appreciate how special these cars are. Well done 👌👍

[@MattyEngland]

That oil system is crazy. Looking forward to seeing the crank, rods and pistons. Looking forward to the build in general.

[@JetLagRecords]

VAG Technic, cool video it was really good

[@jackpalczynski7884]

For the torque converter bolts, weld nuts on top. Loosen using those nuts. When at all loose, cut off the nut. Remove by fingers or vice grips.

[@davidcutter8485]

You're doing a great job of describing the functioning of the engine sub-systems. The explanation of the Dry Sump/Scavenger pump functioning was well done.

[@davidstocking1622]

Great to see you got it fully stripped Thomas. Just £1M pounds will have it all sorted. Ricky and the boys at REPerformance will be the men to help I'm sure. Looking forward to the build series. Good to see lots of support for you.

[@mattyd.769]

Old school trick is to soak rags in atf fluid and set them alight inside the bores. Heat and the fluid should free it up.

[@Audimad52]

A lot of time went into assembly of that with the silicone after finding it broken . Wow

[@paulgibson490]

RP In Swindon is the place for V10 audi hes doing them daily he seems to know how all these high horsepower work. He stripped a oil pump on his vlog not as easy to get right as you might think.

[@pauledwards2366]

Agree REPerformance

[@kartakis]

I will second that Ricky (@REPerfomance) is the V10 wizard. I trust him with both my RS6s V10 (old and new)

[@JohnSilcock]

Ricky is the man

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Ricky elder your refering to and y3s he’s the Audi and lambo god in the uk

[@RoryMacdonald-pfff]

Looking forward to that oil pump turning up on the next @reperformance video 🍿

[@khsmith6242]

One of the most talented mechanics I’ve ever seen. Love your videos man pal

[@STEFA74]

This is the best channel on youtube, 100%. Thank you for your videos, they are just great - you get so much information just watching these videos. 👍

[@Gm-pe4te]

It amazes me how someone can put this back together 😮 I'd forget were the first 3 screws go in couple of day's let alone hundred 😅 Rocket science build 😂

[@LegendRyann]

Thanks! Keep these great machines alive brother! Just picked up a 2011 Audi A6 3.0t Prestige edition and love the videos

[@sarcastixx74]

Keep up the good work!

[@ggmgoodgamingmichael7706]

Good learning opportunity for expanding the business to RS6 V10 rebuilds / 1000bhp upgrades 😇

Thanks!

[@WatchThatFast]

WOW !

[@neekovturbo]

I hate to see you go through all the pain, but i get it. A big Blue RS6 V10 would make me make some bad choices also. Good luck with the build.

[@TheEryk03]

Mahle in Poland make cylinder liners to order at a good price.

[@TheFranszo]

Hardest job ever! But also the most beautiful thing bringing this back to life with the highest standards kept! Love the series! All the luck from UK/Hungary 💪🏼

[@GalenMelchert]

Cliffhanger!! I want to see those rods and pistons.

[@connor_arb]

Man I’ve gotta give credit where it’s due. The amount of work you’re doing is insane! This build is going to be amazing. Also the editing on the videos are next level! Keep smashing it 🤙🏻

[@TheEryk03]

This engine is now in good hands. It deserves it.

[@wadegoodwin6773]

How is it possible that such an informative and technically brilliant channel, run by near perfect engineering technicians has such a low following? Ah, there's something seriously wrong with the world indeed folks. Thanks so much for all your programs and the technical genius behind them gents. Kind Regards, Wade J. Goodwin, Johannesburg, South Africa

[@sylvesterkasimeni4637]

My thoughts exactly

[@jeanfrancoismenard705]

What a project man, but it's worth it, tks to bring us with you, your shop and knowledge is one of a kind for sure !!!

[@chokboywonda]

😂😂😂 the music drop at 3.47 was very good and well thought out 👋

[@German-Whip-V8]

When you've completed the work and look back at these videos you'll know the pain was worth it 1000 bhp🏎 here we come

[@Yurelio]

Hey! Next time when having a trouble with seazed pistons, use a mixture of Petrolium (petrolium lamp liquid) and aceton. Mix them <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3050">50:50</a> and pour in cylinders. Let them soak for a day. It wil even fix the stuck oil rings. Usually works on engine that has also stuck piston oil rings. Then change oil, put 98 or 100octane fuel, go for a spin and problem solved. ;) I've been a infiniti mechanic for years. Hope this tip will be useful in future!

[@Salmon_Rush_Die]

So, wait. Were the pistons siezed, or the bearings? Did I miss that or skim over it?

[@trinatarr-fy8wp]

Rick-RE performance, the only other VAG utube platform I support- you are the other Good work from New Zealand 👌

[@herme99]

I can’t decide if it is surprising or unsurprising that so many people are dishonest about the state of cars when they sell them. Sad really.

[@jabberwockytdi8901]

not sure the last sap to own it had any idea about how bad the carnage was....

What a shame for a beautiful piece of engineering to end up in that state. Can't wait to hear that monster growl again, you of all people can do it! 👊

[@German-Whip-V8]

OMG, I am speechless. Look at the state of those cylinders !!!!! Can this engine be saved never mind reaching 1000 bhp

[@prrrakrrra]

Thanks

[@robp8218]

Last owner must have been a plumber 😳 Great series on the V10, subbed 😉

[@Wreck-Gar]

Maybe they thought if they sealed everything up with bathroom silicone they could take that bad boy underwater..... 🤦‍♂️

[@Takticals]

Look at the size of that crank!

[@ceevee00]

I would really see you rebuilding the motor. Good luck!

[@TheUberdude14]

the stuff looks like grey elring dirko silicone, good stuff but hack job on this engine

[@MartinSvärd-o7b]

Tack!

[@kenreynolds4229]

There is a product called" XCP " which is a freeing / rust loosening spray , Better than a frequently used spray. Worth a try , may be filling the cylinders with it.

[@dereklucas8420]

Love your videos pal. My favourite channel 👍

[@jabberwockytdi8901]

Difference in varnish from bank to bank can be down to the way the PCV system works, have certainly seen that on older 90's 2000's Audi V6 and V8's

[@dean4770]

svaka čast

[@dalesmit7869]

The left bank head has a more red tint compared to the right. Still, both tops look pretty clean for a 2008. Good luck with the findings

[@andrewarmes4607]

Took the words out of my mouth, looks like it might have one head at some point

[@aqib2000]

Nice easy fix

[@DenHvideHund]

It's very interesting. Keep those videos coming my dude :)

[@aieisovimikaan]

Thanks! The use of silicone is just criminal - hopefully this buys you a couple of seals. All the best with the build Karl and Ricky at @reperformance can help with that oil pump 🙂

[@BenDeSwert666]

Such a shame you had to go the destructive way. I mean, don't take me wrong, my 2 favourite tools are a big hammer and an angle grinder, but not on this kind of engine. It is what it is.

[@Dalbayob69]

Never mind welding the flywheel, just use some silicone like the previous guy🤣

[@donaldstewart6538]

just incredible work...what was the cause of the crankshaft not turning? Were the pistons just completely stuck in the cylinders?

[@MrGuvEuroman]

Friends mum had a diesel jag, it started knocking, so they waited until the weather was bad and drove it hard into a big flood to claim on the insurance.

[@Mr_Sh1tcoin]

What was the number plate? Asking for a mate

[@wingnut771]

I was here to see you unseize the engine but then when that didn't happen, I just fast forwarded the rest.

[@danielolofsson8570]

Tack! Keep up the good work!

[@nv-gaming.]

Man you need to come to Australia there is a lot of Audis need rebuild here and none of them mechanics want to do it 😵‍💫

[@peri77hu]

Köszönjük!

[@Rol1Co]

Sick engine, hope you can use the video too remember where everything was mounted on that motor, great video. Can a bbk also be "lined" with original pistons? Any heat problems after that? Alusil is a bit differently compared to iron?

[@sebastianlorenzo4935]

Another educational & entertaining video. Does that motor belong to the car or did they do a motor swap ?

[@mickeymini9522]

I wonder why it was stripped down in the first place? Then subject to water? Strange goings on. As people have said, some owners are underhand with selling their vehicles on to unsuspecting buyers. Playing the insurance game is not for the fainthearted - do time for fraud. However, Tomas you have the engine stripped down so it's now a case of checking everything before committing too much cash to new parts. A case of one step at a time - don't overcommit until you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

[@highdefp-rm7zg]

Is that simply white RTV and not bathroom sealant? ThreeBond make exactly that and it’s a good product.

[@diametricopposition9232]

Maybe this engine was thrown back together previously as a seized lump just for insurance purposes? then the water damage? to appear more convincing, to go to all the trouble (previously), to remove and rebuild'ish, and not use new seals n gaskets and proper sealants (where specific sealant is required) this engine never ran after bodge (fake previous) rebuild. is it the original engine -production date, V5, VIN? - love your work btw.

[@aking610]

If this doesn't tell all the fan boys all you need to know about VAG cars then you are lost and blind. You do however, keep many many millions of people in work across the world.

[@370suzuki]

Great video thanks. I wonder if the Audi Main Dealer would be able to strip down and rebuild like you do ? Cheers

[@MichaelPanzer]

I think this video is basically what people should watch if they're thinking about buying a "cheep powerful" car. As much as I'd love to own one of these, I appreciate the power per complexity of my electric car....

[@rw3915]

Holy cow, that engine is a complete mess. This is just me, Audi’s in general are super cool cars for the first 50,000 miles. They are great looking cars inside and out. But at a certain point when the miles climb, these cars seem to turn into a complete nightmare when one is trying to own a car for a long duration, as in 10+ years. The car’s is in good hands now. It’s unfortunate the owner got taken for a ride by a mechanic with no scruples. This makes for good viewing though. I just really enjoy the technical expertise, and just the overall good morality, and doing the right thing exhibited by this mechanic.

[@MrJonah30]

As always brilliant content

[@davidvonslingshot]

....just think.... the HACK who did all that shit repair work with used o-rings, and plumbing silicone shows up to work thinking he's doing a good job. literally hurts my brain that someone can be this shiity.

[@DG-EditsYT]

Its probably White Rtv silicone, not plumbing silicone to plug all the leaks

[@davidvonslingshot]

It's still GhettoAF.

[@teamemusrcreviews3225]

Absolute legend!!!🚗👍

[@roycooper7461]

every Audi guy knows how you treat and care for your Audi is how they will treat you in return......so if the previous owner of this legendary car ever gets another Audi it will make him pay....that being said i think ill go wash my Imola B7 RS4 and my Tornado UrS4

Gearbox will definately need work , sportsmile poland rebuild n upgrade for 1000 bhp+

[@jabberwockytdi8901]

jeez what a butcher was at work there, really hope they are too ashamed to ever work on an engine again.

[@bat33.12]

What a strange way to put it back together with silicone everywhere. Was it stripped for inspection by some one for insurance claim and they just stuck it back together for the auction or is there more to this story? Someone knows but I doubt they are coming to the comment section to help us out 😁

[@amoni1959]

Crappy insurance repair failed and the car got written off and found its way to you. Funny how the world works.

[@poowaffle]

I think copper paste would have done the same job, but better

[@DulceSeeker]

Díky!

[@cabottaxi]

More silicon on that engine than a bathroom showroom.

[@boerieza]

First comment (I just started watching the video) and I already cracked myself at the title "after plumber work on it" because of all that white silicone sealant lolol How about everyone that donates to you, gets their username on the car somewhere (with a sticker of course). That would be cool! I love your humor even in the face of this disaster of an engine "maybe the patient will die today" lol.

[@deanharris7149]

What a nightmare! It’s as if a bunch of crank head stoners engineered this thing.

[@sttm1283]

they for sure have used some tubes of silicone on that engine.

[@denzee295]

[@rohandevilliers5997]

Bet you you gonna find silicone between the rings by the look of things😅

[@Mr.GS-147]

Why, why, why.. they could have tried to get aftermarket seals at the LEAST! all that silicone can be tragic. Especially for the fact that these engines are so sensitive to oiling smh.

[@timc3600]

A good project, will be great once its done. Have you talked to Mat Armstrong on YT, he had an RS6 that blew its engine and he replaced it, he might have some spare parts available. For info, there is some nasty flicker in a couple of places in the video :-(

[@Dungfunnel]

different car. Mat's is a C7 v8

[@timc3600]

@@Dungfunnel Agreed, but they probably share a good number of common parts. Also, both content creators may get some collaboration / extra subscribers.

[@Dungfunnel]

@@timc3600I do like the collab idea. These guys do help out the VAG owners. I own a C6 RS6 and the struggle to get parts because there’s very little parts that are shared between other models. I suspect there’s less than 2% of engine parts shared between C6 and C7. Maybe some bolts and other small parts

[@peterjames6607]

I hope I never have to get this up close and personal with the V10 in my RS6! By the way, any idea on why one head is darker then the other? Does that side run hotter maybe?
