MY MARKETPLACE 3.6 VR6 ENGINE IS FULLY COOKED

[@SNL92100]

Danggit. It makes me want to pull the pan on my mystery BLV now!

[@SmithsEuro]

Definitely should, these things were not taken care of.

[@charliesmith2695]

Gutted my man!

[@blknbrwn]

Sh#!$ and giggles but the show don't stop

[@SmithsEuro]

Was lucky to get a complete motor delivered 2 days later for $600 with warranty. Sometimes its nice being at a shop lol

[@blknbrwn]

@@SmithsEuro nice!

[@DdoubleEE726]

Rebuild it…

[@SmithsEuro]

Crank was toast. These are cast cranks as well, nothing special. Sitting in the corner now for testing purposes. Was cheaper/easier to get another motor with warranty surprisingly.

[@nunopereira7682]

Do you know if the 2.8crank fits in this engine? Good luck on the project 💪💪

[@SmithsEuro]

It would probably bolt in but not certain what all would differ between them.

[@nunopereira7682]

It Will reduce the stroke and the engine Will be square 89mm x 90mm

[@SmithsEuro]

@nunopereira7682 no point for me, need every bit of compression I plan on getting a newer motor and custom high compression pistons in the future Im doing all motor racing

[@juddfyah]

Are you going to film replacing the rear main seal?

[@SmithsEuro]

I dont know if i recorded it or not. But i always use mk3 12vr6 rear main seals with a spring

[@juddfyah]

Ohh The AAA works, nice to know. You’re the man fr fr. I done eff up different seal’s for this BLV. I’m at the point where I’m gonna buy another lower cover.

[@SmithsEuro]

@juddfyah you should do it off the car. I pull the oil pan(always plastic guides in there) Then i put the seal in off the car with a flat piece of wood. Then use the crank sleeve that comes with it and bolt on the cover

[@vdubbandit]

I have 6 3.6 vr6 engines good low milage if your still looking for a engine. Can send my info if your interested

[@SmithsEuro]

[@vdubbandit]

Ok. If you ever need a back up or another engine I'll have them lm a vw tech at Smith vw in Delaware. All good engines we have a tech that constantly replaces the engines when they come in complaining about having to top there coolant off every once in a while all engine are under 20k miles all drove fine keeping 3 trying to get rid of 3 so if you or know someone that wants them $500 each
