Big facts. I don't know one bodybuilder who isn't a great cook. Fixing a car is likely building the body. Supply great parts, take your time, and create a reliable machine for years to come.

4 years after this was posted I was able to learn how to pull my piston without removing entire motor. Thank you guys and I am starving now after watching the cooking session. Nice video hope your still making them.

[@marchearn9058]

You guys are my heroes. I had a '52 Pontiac with a Straight 8 when I was a teenager in the 70's. It had a bad rod so my dad took off the pan and the head and we pulled the pistons through the top just like y'all did. He had a mobile service that came out and ground the crankshaft journal from underneath so we could put an oversized rod bearing in. He taught me how to grind the valves with a valve lapper tool while we had the head off. Now I've got an '83 LandCruiser and I need to install new rings. Thanks to y'all, I realize it can still be done due to the layout of the engine. Thanks!

I'm trying to do the rings on my 83 VW rabbit, does it matter what kind of onion I use for the clam chowder or will sweet onion work? I heard that purple onion can cause the cylinder walls to glaze over since it's only a four cylinder. Pls help

This is the first time I’ve been able to get a straight up answer to my question. I have a 96 jeep xj and have a bad misfire but it’s more of a piston ring. This is got me now taking my thanks giving weekend to take it apart. Sadly I am In the army and stationed in GA away from my family in PA but I’m thankful for this video and helping me out. And to answer the question is philly soft pretzel. I miss them so much and there is none down here so.

Im working on one right now. I found it hard to believe i gotta drop the frame to swap.out the engine...do to my lack of space i was thinking. If i remove the converters and passenger engine mount bracket. Would that give me enough room to swing the engine to the right to pass the front dif to pull the engine upward

[@BoostedSpeedDemon]

That's how I always pull my pistons when it's a cast-iron block. 90% of the time the block just needs a rehome and you can drop in a new piston and rings

You can pull the head off on that motor without removing intake and exhaust. Simply remove the bolts, trust me, I’ve done it a few times.

It is difficult to take out head as manifold stick to it

Depends what car and how the engine bay is. To get the head off my car you legit have to pull the motor and gearbox. No other way to get at some of the bolts unless your fingers can do 50nm.

I had to remove both on my 88 Dodge d100 to get the heads off. It's depends on the vehicle.

Ahhh, more cooking. Props to you reminding me to learn how to make better soup. My local rival to your dish would probably be 'Analı Kızlı', a southeastern Turkish soup made with dried herbs, flour and very tiny meatballs.

You definitely should have it if you ever come over here!

Re-ringing them and putting the Pistons back in from the bottom !

Remember to loosen head bolts in reverse order of your manuals installation order. Also loosen in stages of descended torque settings.

[@amadoperez9036]

Why is that ?

[@RolanTHUNDER]

@@amadoperez9036 Because the head can get warped if you don't follow a written procedure. Same with installation. There is a manufacturer given procedure in the workshop manual to tighten the head bolts in stages and in sequence. If this is not followed you will have headaches.

@@MuddafukhingdisKUST certain cars are easier to do it on than others. Also if you have to pull the crankshaft out then well, you kinda have to pull the engine because you gotta disconnect the Tourqe converter/ Clutch in order to get the crank out. But pretty much you just pull away anything blocking the oil pan from coming down, then the oil pan. Then the head so you can push the pistons up out of the block after disconnecting the connecting rods. Sometimes this is much easier said then done on some cars lol (Edit: Jesus christ I wrote the original comment 3 years ago!?!?!?!?)
