Common engine failures
*************************
blown head gasket
bent piston rods
hydro locked engine due to water getting sucked into engine
rod knock
bearing knock
piston slap
extreme wear and low compression
turbo charger failure
VVTI rattle
Seized engine
Overheating engine
running an engine without oil
sludge build up
If your engine has any of those symptoms, then you have two choices. Rebuild the engine or replace the engine. Rebuilding an engine is often very expensive due to engine parts cost thousands of dollars. So most people go for an engine swap with a used engine. Mind you that if you correctly change oil regularly enough, you can easily avoid engine damages. BTW not replacing the rear main seal while i was at it is a joke :)

you didnt say put oil

[@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.

[@swagsonville9675]

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.

Well no shit

[@dirtymoneymafiaent.1686]

@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.

[@CBRRR-eh3ky]

Great video. You make it look so easy. Hopefully I'll never need to pull any of my engines, but if I do, I think I can handle it!

[@grahamchapman20-03]

i just bought a bunch of parts to rebuild my engine, (rods, pistons, valvesprings, studs) and this video made it super comprehensive on how to pull the motor

[@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.

[@alaxt.6215]

Does the rubbing alcohol degrade the rubber?

[@turboimport95]

@@alaxt.6215 use silicon spray instead, alcohol could dry out the rubber.

[@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.

[@ariyaratneadhikari143]

Your sugetions are correct

Lmao

[@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.
