RECORD ENGINE SWAP? SONATA ENGINE INSTALL UNDER 4 HOURS

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

For anyone who missed something they wanted to see slower, the play speed can be adjusted in settings. It looks like a small gear at the bottom of the screen. :) You could play it even faster also if you wanted.

[@mlieser1230]

You guys did a great job swapping the engine that fast. Rob definitely earned a steak dinner and a case of beer!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Oh yeah, he’s a stud with the Kia and Hyundai stuff!

[@462ANIMAL]

Nice job guys ! Now tell the customer to change the oil with good synthetic oil every 6 months or 4K miles.. that’s my 2 cents. 😂. New sign is gonna go up outside the shop KIA and Hyundai engines done / sold here on weekends 😂

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, that is good advice and a good idea too!

[@ManicMechanic007]

Team work at it's finest. Great work gentlemen.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you!

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Great job swapping that engine especially so quickly. Good luck with selling it!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Fingers crossed! Thanks Scott!

[@bryanalbright3019]

Glad to see you and Rob having a father and son day. 🌪️🍑🧌

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

lol, we got that thing done quick! Rob wants to do one that isn't seized and see if we can do it in 2 hours.

[@djosbun]

It’s great having a KCG (Korean Car Guru) at your disposal, Jimmy! 👍🏼

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, that is very true!

[@eddie.275]

Hi Jimmy, Have a good sunday. Great job on the hyundai that was fast. I am sure you took care of rob for the help he seems like a laid back dude.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Oh yeah, super cool dude and knows the Kia Hyundai brand inside out.

[@llewellyn56]

Good video. I’m sure you will find a buyer. Just reading the comments. I had 2 Kia’s my third one now 8 years still going strong.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Nice! Sold it pretty quick!

[@jasonlecreux1175]

I assumed you found a used engine to put in this. I think you got hell of a deal on this Hyundai considering you were able to get a new reman engine to go in it. When I started my career 12 years ago I was actually at a Hyundai dealer, and those boys were QUICK changing out short blocks. It amazed me changing out these engines in 3-4 hours every time. People like Rob definitely had a lot of practice swapping them out though, not their first rodeo 😂

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha yeah he jokes that they need engine change stickers instead of oil change ones. :)

[@mph5896]

That looks like the easiest engine ever to swap out. Don't even have to discharge the a/c. Axles and trans can stay in place and it comes out the top.

[@NickMyers1]

You and Rob knocked it out of the park Jimmy. Super fast work. Great job. With a brand new engine from Hyundai new tires, new battery and a super clean car inside and out it should sell very swiftly.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Nick! I hope someone can get years of good service from it!

[@robiecarmichael9958]

That my good man is impressive! Congrats to you and Rob on that engine swap. I only wish I needed a replacement car. This looks like it will be a great car for someone. Good job Jimmy, and Rob.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks very much Robie! It will be a great car for someone!

[@Brian-nf6bt]

Great video Jimmy,nice to see you let Rob do the difficult bits🤣 but serious it was a great Sunday view as I wait for my lunch look forward to next weeks day in the shop videos.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha thank you Brian!

[@chris6901]

Impressive install Nice job guys. I owned a 2014 Tucson and other than the usual Hyundai consumables (press in wheel bearings,viscous coupler and lower control arms) it was a relatively easy car to work on. Also non-pro tip… the drive flange bolts on the viscous coupler are left hand thread… and will break with a big enough breaker bar 😂 I only did that once. Once again great video.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate that Chris!

[@michiganporter]

Oh man my wife needs a car real bad but she's so indecisive this would work out nice but I'm far away in Michigan. Hey I would take a road trip if I needed to for sure! Great job fellas your awesome!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Right on, it is a clean car. Mechanically perfect now. Even replaced a bad window switch and inside door handle. Someone will get a solid car.

[@oldbiker9739]

Bob works flat rate that's 2 flats of beer LOL well worth it .

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha nailed it!

[@lloydweems6237]

NASCAR pit crew tryout. Very interesting swap.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Ha, thanks Lloyd!

[@MitchGaar]

I have had 5 Kia’s and only thing ever wrong was AC clutch! I had good luck with them! But love my 21 Tacoma now! Lol

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

That is good to hear, they certainly don't ALL blow up. It's just about the odds of having trouble. Toyota seems to have the best odds of being trouble free for a while, lol.

[@VWERIC10]

Thank you, looking forward to the individual repair videos!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

You bet! Thanks!

[@tombeilman5579]

Old engine and transmission were very clean no leaks

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, this car was in good shape needing only some minor repairs before the engine seized.

[@kathysexton4554]

Thank you Jimmy! Both hubby James and I enjoyed it as always

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

That is great to hear! Thank you for all your support!

[@FrankieFuller-i7o]

That was awesome Jimmy, Thanks!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamesgreen7296]

That’s very impressive on how fast that can be done. How long do you think it would have taken you without rob and his knowledge, me it would have taken all weekend.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I have think on my own about 6-7 hours. I usually work at a slightly easier but steady pace. It was fun to do though. We’ll do another that doesn’t have a seized crank next time! ;)

[@s.j.5850]

Excellent team work. With a job like that it's good to have a partner that knows what to do. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. How do you keep track of all the bolts that you remove so that you put them back where they belong?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I use a magnetic tray and the lift for a job like this. I keep the top hardware in the tray and the underneath on the lift arms to help separate them. I also try and keep them in sets based on what they hold.

[@tonyshirley5674]

Great job! You both were even color coordinated!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

lol, hey what are you wearing... Just like wearing black when working on weekends. :)

[@wandalivezey2144]

That was amazing, great job!!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks very much!

[@oldbiker9739]

NRHA dragster engine over hall hell yeah sweet !!!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Oh yeah!

[@1hondaluver]

Great job. Maybe I missed it, but why wasn't this engine covered under the recall?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Not sure why it was declined.

[@dhonzik]

When you bought the Hyundai Engine did you have to pay extra for the, "Please steal my Hyundia for the insurance money" option or did that come free with the car

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, no extra charge!

[@StevesAutoNtrucks]

nice work buff the black paint out then wax it itll pop

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, cleans up real nice!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Big job 👊🏻👍🏻

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you!

[@dangleebols]

Brilliant 👍

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you!

[@randy5411]

Were you and Rob able to slow down the Time-Space Continuum? If it really took five hours, you can tell us the truth. Either way, great work!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, technically it was 3 hours and 8 minutes, but I rounded it up. We’ll try one without a locked up crank next time!

[@redcarbon4395]

Torqued at 188 KZbin foot-pounds. The boss man is going to find a way to put you in timelapse to make you work faster now.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, I wish I could find a way to do that!

[@lhoanii]

I'm curious as to what you had to swap to the other engine besides the accessories. You had mentioned earlier in a video thst there were a few things different between kia and hyundai.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Might not have shown in the Timelapse easily, but we swapped the intake, exhaust manifolds, compressor mount, fuel injectors and rail, injector pump, flex plate and the cam solenoid was broken so we cleaned and swapped in the old engines solenoid. We also replaced the dipstick and fuel line with a kit from the dealer they recommended with the engine. The engine did come with the water pump, crank and pump pulley, oil cooler, filter, spark plugs and some of the hoses also.

[@leooboyle4375]

Wish I could time lapse when I have to bring the wife and kids to the outlet malls!!!!!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Rofl

[@JimSampson-y6v]

Good Job !.. sounds like it started ok... No security or steering lock codes ! ... if it did have some codes not allowing it to start , I know a couple 'elite' vw dealers that could remedy that situation in no time !

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

lol, thank you.

[@MitchGaar]

Great video Jimmy!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thank you!

[@tom535]

I've never seen you move that fast Jimmy,, LOL I think I know why you had to split the money.. LOL LOL LOL,, I hope your Chanel picks up with the Views and likes because you put out some great content and you are very real with a heart of gold thanks for what you do. ALL ok it is your car nice!!.. FROM TOM..

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Really appreciate that Tom!

[@Lancer0989]

That's awesome! One man's trash...

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha, exactly!

[@raycpronto]

Not bad at all, but my shop foreman can do this in 3 hrs by himself.. dudes a beast. My fastest time is 4 hrs by myself.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Awesome! This one also had a siezed crank shaft so we had to work between the trans and engine in a 1/2" gap to get the convertor bolts. We spent about 45 minutes on them alone. ;)

[@raycpronto]

Oh yes I’ve been through that lol it’s a pain but in this case when it’s seized and you can’t force the crank loose we normally just drop the engine and transmission together and makes it much easier to remove the bolts I’d say 10 mins or less. Subframe comes off in 5 mins if nothings rusty so it’s not a big deal.

[@jimb4957]

You sure R&R a lot of HMC engines...geez! Is is lack of maintenance or are these engines now well made (aka cheap junk)?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

They had some issues to sort out for sure. But they have low tolerance for skipped oil changes.

[@michaelkane732]

how much?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

$8900 obo on FB marketplace right now.

[@MitchGaar]

Jimmy where did you get the yellow tag on your hood lock?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

It actually came on it as a reminder to reduce bent hoods. :)

[@tomwalma4762]

Change the trans fluid for a new owner and name your price....?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

$8975 on Facebook market place now. :)

[@s.j.5850]

The price is right, should sell fast.@@JimmyMakingitwork

[@dhonzik]

I see the engine install cam was really a butt cam since thats all we saw in time lapse or did you do the impossible by speeding up the flow of time

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Sped up time and wiggled for the camera as much as we could while Working.

[@MitchGaar]

How much was that long block Jimmy?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

It is $3970 plus the gaskets dipstick and fuel line they recommend replacing.

[@MitchGaar]

Surprised they had it in stock! Lol

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, they can sometimes be back ordered, but we got lucky!

[@alexk7286]

bonus content 👌 🪛🔧🔩👍

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha thanks Alex!
