REBUILDING MY AUDI R8 ENGINE *IN DEPTH* PT3

[@speedandfeed]

Cool video 😎 I am surprised your missus let you use the coffee table as an engine stand though! 😂

[@johnelbro127]

You are a true methodical mechanic, and brave, well done looking forward to completion and fitted back. 👍👍👍👍

[@v12dot]

Identical to my 07 manual …..had her 16 years . Lack of use caused the crank seal to tear and cover the clutch in oil . Keep thinking of selling her …..till the rare time I drive her 😍

[@marktravers5662]

Love the intro break down keep up the good work. You gave me the courage to rebuild my own 1.6tdi just waiting on head to come back from skimming

[@paultaylor9652]

I use to think working on a 1980's Rolls Royce engine was complicated till I started watching Dean. Great video, keep going you'll get there.

[@Killawife]

Looking good. And as usual, lots of problems. I actually like that you tell about the issues you have with fitments and ebay sellers as its a big part of the reality of working on cars.

[@michaelcook1923]

Dean I hope it starts ok after all the hard work you have put into the rebuild.👍👍👍👍👍

[@dirtydogduffy867]

Fair play to you my man...been watching your video a while now...Good indepth commentary ...obviously we are all petrol heads here(we'll I have a 430d coupe but you know what I mean!!)...rebuilt many bike engines in the past and do what I can at home car wise!!.... keep up the good work!!👌👍😎looking forward to hearing the this engine fire up!!...massive sense of achievement!!...

[@andrewkidger7048]

Great job Dean, really enjoyed the in-depth rebuild, you make it look so easy, looking forward to the weekend an the start up.

My Favourite car guy, Matt comes a close second though !

It doesn’t matter if I win by a mile or a second, winnings winning 😉

[@patrickvalentine1656]

@@SavingSalvage Dean and Matt are also my favourite two by a mile 😎

[@satianable]

Dean is no 1

[@martinhammerton8157]

Matt is OK but Dean doesn't just throw money on money at cars he actually does a great job without buying the most expensive extreme parts available these videos are 100% hard graft and knowledge not just money

[@whosthedaddy1]

We need a colab with Dean and Matt 😊

[@Big_M_Race_Ace]

I hope you lubricated the front and rear oil seals before press-fitting them into place, otherwise you'll wear them out pretty much on first start-up. A light coating of assembly grease will reduce any friction wear between them and the crank. Good luck 👍

[@charlesashford9282]

Fantastic video, so clear and so much detail. You are deffo the new Edd China... And I love the fact that the table lost its legs and ended up as a piece of wood resting on some tyres. Great content.. keep it coming:-)

[@josvelcosta658]

Love seen ur videos please keep it coming u sush a humble guy keep doin wat u do bro

[@eamonkelly2792]

I have been waiting for this, it's great to see the R8 engine getting ready to go back into the car 👍👍

[@RKrestore]

Dude, don't forget to lube shafts and seals inside, when put seals! 😉👍

[@georgedaville4662]

Really enjoy you rebuilding these complicated engines, good job you have a good memory! There are a lot of rubber hoses that would be difficult to access when the engine is installed, why not replace them with new? Holding breath with you for start up👍😎

[@stevo4649]

thankyou Dean,this really has been a brilliant project..looking forward to the next episode.👍👌

[@mcmotors100]

Nooooooo…. So close…, did you leave it there, are you just making us wait 🤣 great work 👍

[@f1kwa399]

Been looking forward to your next video, very informative as usual, thanks.

[@trainmanbob]

Super stuff Dean. Looking forward to the first start. Cheers, Bob

[@davidcasey8511]

Fantastic content mate, you are a brilliant mechanic. Amazing how you remember so much stuff after a long time away from the R8.

[@alfonzobonzo3020]

Love watching you build them engines,

Looking forward to seeing this beast start up for the first time. Great videos as usual fella.

[@malcolmbennett3907]

Great vid. Really enjoy the detailed assembly. You’re a brave man👍

[@Jasonj___8]

Cheers Deano,always found that reconditioning injectors never works and I end up buying brand new 👍👍👍

[@tlabort]

Another great video it was definitely worth the wait .And the back cover was a pain by the time you have messed around trying to fit it and if it was figure out how not to pinch the head gasket its time to take it off and wipe all the sealant that's gone off and start again same on the back timing cover of the bmw n47 engine Obviously at the factory the cover goes on before the heads are fitted so its easy but no thought about any repairs in the future it would be easier if it was in 2 parts or a small push in top seal etc Anyway thumbs dean great content and the Audi rs3 videos are great 👍

[@malcelwell7209]

Great video not for the Fante hearted you must be bagging your head but you got the knowledge ✊

[@lanky512]

Love this build series Dean, thank you for the content. Can you share the part number of the white crank seal insertion tool please?

[@draidangraham]

Dean would your heart sink if I said I'd like to see you dry ice clean that engine before it goes in? Keep it up, really enjoy following all your hard work 👍

[@HuntsChris]

The engine is crying out for a vapour blast, it would clean up lovely.

[@Resistance_is_Futile01]

Super talented guys 👍👍

[@johnathanpoole5381]

Mental mate, well done. Would love the time to do this but i will just put plastic on paint it and looks good 👍

[@minaminx]

I am thinking once the engine is complete you should dry ice clean it to make it look perfect

[@rob612]

OOOOOOH come on you had to bring up the wobble table lol man i seriously believed it was sitting on the table 😂😂😂😂😂👍👍,Dean you didnt have to refer yourself as the tool to hammer in the seal lol

[@bigdee6207]

Good video content as usual. Very informative and interesting. Make sure to check the front part of the frame due to cracking. Models between 2006-2010 are effected and needs strengthening plates welded in to prevent cracking.

[@jamieT973]

Outstanding bit of work 👌👌

[@muffindell]

Massive job!

[@peterrea254]

Thanks Dean,you’re the man👍

[@johhnyrg]

Keep going Dean. I did sweat when I saw the crankshaft oil seals going in dry though! Been watching yo from the start remembering the mustang too….

[@PaneraiTravel]

I think they are supposed to be unlubricated. I remember a warning on the packet when I did mine.

[@johhnyrg]

@@PaneraiTravel Cheers. I did wonder as Dean is normally spot on…

[@markwalton8644]

​@@PaneraiTravel I always thought the outer edge of the oil seal should be unlubricated and the inner part lubricated. You don't want the shaft and the seal to start up dry😅

[@PaneraiTravel]

@@markwalton8644 The embedded PTFE in the seal itself is what lubricates the frictional surfaces. Adding oil or grease can introduce channels which could potentially allow oil to leak through. Therefore install dry on both inner and outer surfaces. We are all experts with Google 😉

[@autoazure]

Well enjoyed Dean, thank you!

[@cabottaxi]

well done. This is like a 10000 piece jigsaw.

[@classic1989mini]

Started my own channel, so watching yours is really helpful...

[@hasbeengood]

I am amazed that you reassemble the whole engine dry (timing, cams, cylindres, injectors, etc.) without oil prelube or assembly lube. Is there a pre lube sequance to fill oil galleys prior to starting the engine?

[@hasbeengood]

@@sys-administrator I know, that's why I'm amazed by it.

[@JustinDRichards]

Another great vid, can't wait for the next!

[@thomasfrancis5747]

No need to rush - one tiny error could lead to a whole engine/transmission removal and replacement which would be days of pain.

[@bernardwarr4187]

Totally agree, big jobs in my shop don’t have a deadline any more!

[@Google_Is_Evil]

Not sure about this specific application, but I was taught that DI injectors always need the teflon seal replaced after you take them out, so put them in with new seals. Special tool to get them on and all that. Hopefully you researched this?

[@SavingSalvage]

The injectors have all been refurbished with new seals 👍🏽

[@MrGMawson2438]

Great video Dean

[@loubakker5049]

Well done.

[@markbowdery]

Great update as ever …..

[@Dipper88]

If you had rotated turned the engine completely. Like on it end. Would the gaskets have stopped sagging and made it easier to attach?

[@Nicknofish]

Brave man!

[@bernardwarr4187]

Very difficult to get front covers on V8 engines with heads already on?

[@jamescasson4227]

Thought this was a Calvin car diary video when I heard the music 😂

[@boejoss]

The second you mentioned the three from eBay, I thought uh oh, headed for fake territory. Massive problem even for older cars, e.g. Toyota 1zz

[@tuscantales]

Didn’t know you delivered card for a living, thought you were doing this full time for some reason!

[@HK0HunterKiller]

@savingsalvage Didn't you forgot to tighten those 90º in the intake side of the left bank? In the video I only see you tighten those 90º in the exhaust side of the left bank, and the intake and exhaust sides on the right bank...

[@Rich_padley]

Air con units are prone on these to go, would of been good to get the unit tested before fitting

[@renovateandflip2073]

Dean did you get any sort of a refund with the second hand engine having issues?

[@STANLIZ4]

Do you smear the crank seal with lubricant.

[@SavingSalvage]

No, it’s not that tight a fit. Didn’t need it.

[@williammatthews9131]

Male or female engines?😂

[@wcads623]

Why does Dean not clean parts before he assembles. He is always so chaotic with his rebuilds - it drives me nuts watching him work with tools and parts everywhere on the floor. He should take a lesson from M539 Restorations he knows how rebuild a high performance engine and he is an ex IT guy.

[@SavingSalvage]

I do clean them internally, the casings are all stained, so unless I dry ice them which I’m not going to do I would have to paint them to make them look better. I’ve spent an hour cleaning a sump pan and it didn’t look much different

[@E.Z.Garage]

First the buttom timing chain cover and the the heads and gasket ceers
