Pulling the Miata engine out...Again

[@Taylordrifts]

For everyone mentioning the dumping of coolant. If you look back to my videos putting the car together you would see that I used distilled water. Not coolant.

[@lovemesomecarsjdm9644]

dude I live ur videos I watch ur an ricer miata videos faithfully every day man keep up the awesome videos dude hope to get a Chanel started myself one day an hope it's 1/4 as gd as urs much love

[@TheCookinHam]

Taylor, can you please make a video of the rebuild? Some people might not like it, but I, a car guy would extremely appreciate it as I'm trying to learn this stuff and having a entertaining video along with good information is great.

[@georgelovesdirt]

hey Taylor just wanted to swoop in from the LZ channel to congratulate you on the Vette and offer some advice from a former Vette driver. My dad had a '04 z06 lemans edition. it had the LS6 engine in it. 1. Corvettes from this era had build quality issues, MAKE SURE it has had all it's recalls done. 2. They train track really bad, you're going to end up driving with your left wheels on the center line so you are straddling the inner tire groove on the road. 3. Sorry to tell you but they don't drift really well, they are designed for maximum straight line grip for drag racing. Corvettes tend to have binary grip, they are known as cars that are difficult to tame. When the rear tires break free you just spin off the road, because they have so much rear tire grip you gotta really throw it around to break em free or just really lay on the power from the LS and in both cases you have much less control going into the slide than a japanese car. also did you price out Vette tires? they are very expensive and you'll blow through them like nothing once you figure out how to drift that beast 4. Corvettes make absolutely outstanding road race cars with minimal modification, they humiliate cars that cost 3 times as much. You eat people alive in the straight aways. 5. With a little money you can really turn a vette into a total monster of a street rod. Superchargers, Nitrus, everything goes on the LS. 6. my dad's z06 was electrically governed at 187 but the gears would go to 200, check your gears on your model, throw some race fuel in it and join the 200 mph club if you can:) 7. that stupid little shift thingy throws you from 1st to 4th if it senses you have enough power to do it, its a fuel saving thingy they put in corvette trannys to stay under some stupid fuel consumption quota. The very first thing my dad did to his Vette was buy a little chip you plug into the tranny and it turns off that stupid shift gate, but the little red indicator light still blips when you can go to 4th so you can go to 2nd or 4th if you wish. 8. they tell you about the two levels of traction control: on or off, but they don't tell you about the secret traction mode called "competitive driving mode". its not in any official corvette literature:) i believe you hold down the traction button for 10 seconds and it flashes "competitive driving" but I'm not sure, you'll have to look it up. competitive driving lets you hang the rear end out but it won't let you slide off the road and die, its soooooooooooooooo fun.

[@CompressorSurge]

Cleaning up in between jobs is great advice. It's so much easier to focus on what your doing when everything is where it should be and you have a clean workspace.

[@DanubioDiaz]

do a little time lapse cleaning the engine and engine bay and add it to the next video

[@apoverdrive8455]

I agree hope he does do that I might have to do that someday would be nice to see

[@Danieltheha]

Taylor, I love your channel, but you should try getting a little more variety in the music dept.

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

Time for a 2J swap!

[@LJT1324]

No.

[@chucky29949]

Only if it's a 3.4 stroooker broooo

[@jaybarendregt6021]

NELKEL JDM VLOGS not realy

[@pete8233]

No needs a 5.3L LS swap

[@timbarito5586]

ssup nelkel i dont know that ur also watching him, do you watch adam lz to?

[@KasamS]

[@Tact-Mack0397]

Always killing It with the music

[@valeoc3858]

I love it when you upload more often :)keep it up

[@MrCheetos1992]

Taylor! You are literally the coolest dude!

[@ebay_turbo]

cant get enough of the intro though, its dope

[@lilcaesa]

i love all the old wiz beats remixed very nostalgic

[@SuperKONR]

FYI you can hook the chain to the head studs, it's usually easier than trying to find holes on the sides. Great video man!

[@megaman_world1347]

I enjoy watching your videos Taylor, keep it going!

[@rotary2126]

Taylor can you please make a video of disassembly and assembly. Thanks from a fellow mechanic. PS thanks for the great content

[@Unrealy1]

How do you remember where everything like hoses and cables go when pulling the engine out and putting it in later?

[@Taylordrifts]

+Unrealy1 I've done it a million times lol

[@axiile615]

(it blows up a lot)

[@Unrealy1]

I guess so,but any suggestion on someone who pulls out an engine for the first time?

[@axiile615]

Label EVERYTHING. use some masking tape, or even a tag on a zip tie. Also take lots of pictures every step of the way. As for bolts, take a piece of cardboard and stab each bolt into the cardboard and write where it belongs on the board.

[@Unrealy1]

Nice one,thanks for the suggestions!

[@kova_motive]

Awesome video. I like all the different angles.

[@thissmyusername7013]

sick video I just bought my first car a few days ago

[@kittylovelovepeequaquat8257]

this's my username jmk

[@prodigy-_-pig7468]

this's my username wut car

[@JrgProductionsRSA]

this's my username congratulations man , I am hoping to get my first car sometime this year !

[@KasamS]

what did u get?

[@egmontsliders2434]

jesse ghela same

[@joannaatkins822]

I like these shorter videos when Taylor is on his own, because for me the most fun part about working on cars (apart from the Obvious because Racecar) is wrenching with friends.

[@mendyWZRD]

you should film the engine cleaning and get some slow mo shots along with before and after. just an idea but great videos dude I love them

[@rjizzledrummer]

been a subscriber since day one and i really do love your videos and hardwork but damn im ready to see that Miata go.

[@STVNJNSN]

your production quality is awesome :3

[@miyota9247]

Good video man I've been watching you for a while one of the inspirations that made me start KZbin account. I'm gonna do a miata build soon too and I plan on swapping so this helps.

[@decklanrobertson1801]

cant wait to see it go back in

[@johankroken9205]

Please make a detailed video of the rebuild! Planing on rebuilding Ine myself!! Awsome work!!

[@cemalduymazz7948]

Watching you from Turkey. Dude your channel is dope :) looking forward to see that corvette in drift events :)

[@aidanhamilton9859]

hopefully the tuning goes well this time. no more detonation

[@XxX412XxX]

Another killer video my man 👍🏻

[@Bagz96]

Wooo Taylor uploads enough time for me to watch the video and then go to work :D

[@dylanpeel3081]

Really digging the videos man!

[@lettxr7433]

I love your intro keep it up

[@aidanjohnston]

Working on dirt bikes are so much easier

[@matmuffin1]

Motolyfe hell Yeah New piston and cylinder in 40min

[@megismigis6326]

Taylor why didnt you show what shape the clutch was after the beating

[@Taylordrifts]

+Miki Määttänen oh I didn't even think about it. It still looked fine.

[@prodigy-_-pig7468]

i love the rims with the red paint

[@scrapheapshuffle9130]

Have the new head, block and crank been inspected by a machine shop to ensure everything is in spec? I know you trust the guy you got the parts from, but this would be a simple way to ensure that everything is correct before you start assembly of the motor.

[@gianluca3069]

Very nice video.Make one where you show the bay cleaning!!

[@HToWnRePPiiN]

That's a nice app actually, I wonder if there's an app for ALL cars.. Having a chat for certain areas such as car repair question, that's a dope concept.

[@tyebradford619]

Do a slight engine bay cleaning part of the video!!

[@timmm117]

That that a new engine hoist? Looks sick Love your vids all the way from holland!

[@Ben15Nadeau]

are you planning on coming to import alliance or gridlife in Atlanta this year ? absolutely love to talk about cars for a few minutes if you got the time . keep up the Great content👌

[@DavGonn]

I like the videos man they're dope, keep up the swell job.

[@ruquik]

If you ever want to de-chrome plastic parts you can use oven cleaner (Bissel brand is what I have used) Also for organizing your workbench..... Always be knolling.

[@dre739]

Can you make a more in depth video on how to take the clutch off and how to put it back on? Would really appreciate it

[@prodigy-_-pig7468]

diy workbench. Love the idea

[@justingalindez9521]

Man I love ur videos keep it up!!

[@Zaucey]

I have used oven cleaner on aluminum blocks, it turns them dull/dark and its REALLY powerful stuff... like skin peeling off powerful. I wouldn't use it on paint.

[@kaneb97]

love the way you use the pit bike to move the car!!!

[@adammucha6522]

I am dying to see the Jaguar build

[@barnoldjc93]

On my Miata Every so hundred miles I notice I lose out on oil maybe like quart. I already replaced the o ring for cas sensor cause mine was really bad and leaky. And I'm still losing oil but it doesn't hit the floor and doesn't have any smoke :/ any tips? Every now n then I have to add more oil. Still pretty new to working on cars too and I was lucky to pick up this Miata up on my own. Love the vids keep up the good work!!!

[@nathanrotoli3334]

light bar on the garage door..genius!!

[@kawistunter88]

Hey Taylor I was watching your video on the tear down of the old motor and got to wondering did you file the rings to compensate for the turbo? If you don't just like with nitrous the extra heat from the intensified combustion can cause the rings to butt together from expansion and bust out the top of the pistons. looks like exactly what happened.

[@maniacmart]

Taylor? Quick question, what headlights do you have? they look awesome!!

[@adriangowala9320]

Nice video Taylor 💪

[@brodyreid8978]

i think oven cleaner takes paint off too so I wouldn't suggest scrubbing it too much or leaving it in for too long so the paint doesn't disintigrate

[@crazylegzz7313]

hey taylor you should film it i think its cool to watch

[@chrishogg6193]

hey man can you show when you put motor back in where all the wiring goes thanks 😄👌

[@samrussan4436]

That is legit the best way of pulling a vehicle I have ever soon because it's so unconventional 😂😂

[@mellemgas]

Taylor ray.. the only one to explain what he wil explain later..

[@InFamousDmac]

I MUST KNOW, do you use multiple cameras?

[@Taylordrifts]

+DohcDmac nope! Not usually. Just a g7x

[@InFamousDmac]

Taylor Ray well then your work ethic is unmatched. seriously it must take a good amount of time to set up your shots and then edit it all together. Great stuff man.

[@lungelinecowboy]

You remembered the shifter this time!

[@1pbwu1f1]

Are you going to take your head, block, crank to the machine shop and have them check it?

[@ityaboimeh3954]

yoo you could you the vape as a sick transition

[@joshdunnam7500]

Be careful with the oven cleaner on any aluminum bits. It's usually got sodium hydroxide in it, so it'll matte and darken the aluminum. Coin-op car wash worked wonders for me when I wanted to clean my S14 engine bay :D

[@heavensgatev2]

Dear Taylor, I would like some advice......I have an 03' Protege5, in your opinion, is it worth it to try and racecar? Or should I stance vip it? or scrap it all together???

[@extraxjuice]

Hey, Taylor!! If i was gonna pull that motor why not just take the transmission off while it is still in the car?

[@merksu3552]

hey Taylor were you at the YMCA today? i saw a corvette that looked just like yours

[@Pixels_And_Petrol]

Wouldn't it be great if Cleaning up was that easy?

[@DeeZeeGR]

Dude where's marco to do the job for u ...... nice video Taylor :D

[@BackyardSChassis]

I literally just seen you pulling onto semoran from 50 in your g20 lol you passed me i was pulling a ugly datsun lol

[@Taylordrifts]

+OneClean Onevia I saw that thing! I was like "damn that looks like a sweet project". That's hilarious!

[@BackyardSChassis]

Taylor Ray i wish i was keeping her lol it runs and drives but its rusted so im tradin it for a pair of lexus's lol

[@LemonMan_Man]

oh a miata dating app

[@Freisein.]

You make it Bro! When you in Germany, come by say Hi !!!

[@Leolpzz]

Taylor when you going drifting w the vet

[@zachzmithrovitch8807]

what r u doing with the head? checking it out i hope, the ringland bits had to go somewhere.

[@haydenjackson2250]

like the new intro

[@anthonypond1247]

are you going to use oven cleaner also on the engine block ?

[@thorvonfalin9975]

I totally love that intro song! Could someone tell me the name?

[@yotagang9737]

You could honestly pull the miata with that wheelchair in there 😂

[@tomahoks]

Yota Gang While being blind folded.

[@sir2honda]

About to do the same too! Gotta deal with water in the exhaust again :|

[@ebaum2788]

I see you taking care of the neighborhood cats 3:36

[@Jordan-zq7yy]

He said in another comment that it was distilled water and not coolant.

[@grandmackdady]

no matter how well you clean the motor if you don't do a bigger gap one the rings the motor will keep popping the tops off the pistons. with boost your building more heat on the rings when they expand they cease up in the cylinder because they have nowhere to go and crack the pistons and with a bigger gap it will not happen because the rings have a place to expand to. the same thing happens if you put to much NOS to a motor boom cracked pistons. if you build any motor for boost or NOS you need to enlarge the gap on the rings to prevent the rings from ceasing up in the cylinder

[@Taylordrifts]

+bigmandown I'm doing a bigger gap on the rings and new rings as mentioned I. Previous videos.

[@Icanhazammo]

damn I have never seen a pneumatic engine hoist before. Thats fucking cool

[@ryanivester2859]

To get the smoke smell out of the corvette just cut an apple into 4 pices and put it in the cup holder it should help alot👍👍

[@jakelandherr860]

works great for line paint too

[@Atari8888]

Jake Landherr you mean pinstriping?

[@developmentdivision122]

i got scared when I saw random smoke hahahaa. then I realized it was vape

[@the_family_man_clan3378]

that glasses slap @ 6:51

[@funkymonkey36840]

5:36 I have that same Shelby poster in top right

[@jonathanmckinney481]

=), btw if you are ever in augusta ga look me up got a 04 gto drift build . only let like 2 ppl ever drive it but you can take it for a spin

[@MichaelB5522]

Never clicked so damn fast!

[@antyie]

[@realmediaproductions3184]

[@JON-mv1hu]

Are the harbor freight jacks worth it? Want to know for a truck

[@ZombieObsidian]

Will you be gapping the rings bigger this time?

[@b210wah3]

How are the rice red sockets holding up?

[@jaaa7539]

i wanna see the cleaning part too

[@Missileworksllc]

I wish cleaning up was that quick

[@motozaye]

so im wanting to buy a miata to mod. If i want to gradually put parts on it to make it a boosted miata, in what order would you recommend installing the ecu, intercooler, turbo, etc. if it will be my daily? Thanks

[@reallunacy]

Isaiah Hiatt ECU first and then all the other parts at the same time.

[@anthonyavalos4588]
