Replace your 24v VR6 Headgasket in less than 10 minutes!

[@noah5923]

Dont give up on the videos, someone else who deals with a 24v is always appreciated 🥴✌

[@thirdgeargrind]

Don't you worry they'll keep coming!

[@empathcameraco]

Canadian AF? love these personalities. great series.

[@Moorhythm]

The beginning of this video is actually pretty funny (and I hate corny humor); well done!

[@koopakoop]

Yes. Made me laugh quite a bit.

[@CosmicMomentumX]

Thanks for posting, imma watch this like 5 more times then imma do it once my gasket goes.

[@Hectorfriedmansolutions]

My vr6 fan rubbed a hole in a hose. Pissed antifreeze everywhere. Blew the head. Came to check you out.

[@anthonymatteis1319]

I keep that hose zipp tied to the power steering line. You're referring to the aux water pump hose?

[@skillsinc2390]

Mate good job, with video, long enough to get the point across. Love the smart ass humor.

[@cody22schigh]

Anyone else appreciate the cussing as much as I did 🤣 good video and info! Just bought an 03 vr6 about to run through it and hopefully bring it back to life…

[@Mk4.Donnnn]

Loved the Intro 😭

[@johnvanderburgh4502]

great vid ! quick and good !

[@BEYTEK]

hahah i cracked up man! that was the funiest video going for removing a head

[@brokeboisentertainment8525]

Hands down finniest intro ever

[@TheMrJonmoore]

Where can I find the manual? I have 2003 gli vr6. Thank you

[@Wralda66]

The cylinder head is not as thick as the block walls and its aluminum?

[@nochan99]

Lol here I was thinking the job took 10 minutes xD

[@ytunknownalex2697]

Do you know where those 2 long bolts go?

[@chefboyarrde]

How much would you charge to do mine?

[@mk4dub824]

Is the head resurfacing necessary if the motor was never overheated or broken, slapping a head spacer on

[@mk4dub824]

And can u post link for cylinder head dowels for 24v are they same on 3.2?

[@thirdgeargrind]

I would highly recommend it because if it's never been done before, there will always be some degree of warpage after the heat cycles it's been through. You can buy a straight edge and feeler gauges online to see for yourself. If it's less than 0.004" then you're good ok. That number or above, likely will leak.

[@thirdgeargrind]

@@mk4dub824 N90502601 is the Volkswagen part number for the dowels. Same between pretty much every VR6 out there 12v to 24v, 2.8 to 3.6.

[@blue32nu]

I'm looking at this now because my car is at the dealer and said the previous shop didn't put the head back together right (resurfaced head for head gasket replacement) which in turn caused my timing to be wonky. Off by a tooth after a few rotations. I'm really pissed and don't even have money for this replacement so, I gotta max out a card. Lame!

[@malikalexander1112]

How much would you charge sknekne just wondering

[@randyjones5336]

I have this same exact motor in a 03 jetta glx and I’m about to tear down the top end with the motor in the car still to assess my problem of low compression in one cylinder but I noticed you mentioned piston rings most like the cause. So if this were so could I access the piston rings from what you just showed or would I need to tear down further?

[@thirdgeargrind]

You can refer to my 12v vr6 rebuild video a little where I explain doing piston rings as there's some very important information there, and use it collectively with this video to remove the cylinder head. The only extra there would be is removing the oil pan and oil pump, and then the rod caps. Prepare to replace the OEM rod bolts with ARP, and do new rod bearings as well. And make sure you have the required tools to replace the piston rings, as well as install them back into the block.

[@MrRfaass]

New rings do not help if the cylinder is oval. I have low compression on #5 in a Eurovan and had to get another block because it was out of round...

[@friscostreetstories5403]

Very good.

[@loganfields1658]

Unfortunately I don't have a machine shop in my drive way. 😊

[@bigrah9411]

I have a 3.6 vr6, will it be the same procedure?

[@thirdgeargrind]

Similar but different.

[@bigrah9411]

@@thirdgeargrind thanks for the response 👍

[@ronnymedina1523]

Question I got the same engine I wanna swap too r32 Can I used the factory harness and the transmission?

[@thirdgeargrind]

Yes! Just be sure to reflash the ecu with a 3.2l file.

[@mikeyleender1553]

how much boost can a stock 24v vr6 3.2 handle with a stock oem headgasket?

[@thirdgeargrind]

Depends on the powerband and tq output but approx 600 max with a quick spooling setup to be reliable. Any more and it's risky on the rods, and could fail a long while later by fatigue. If you ramp in the boost later in the rpm, never use launch control or antilag, there are some 12v VR6s at 8-900hp range stock bottom end.

[@infinitidriver7896]

Question is this the same engine in a 2005 cayenne 3.2

[@thirdgeargrind]

Extremely similar. Differences being crank stroke, bore size, and cylinder head ports are larger. But for all intensive purposes the disassembly will be very similar aside from being plopped inside a longitudinal porsche SUV.

[@RedondoBeach2]

Could I convince you to teach me to replace the timing chain, tensioners, guides, and everything in-between on my 2004 GTI 2.8L 24v (BDF engine code)? I'll buy the parts, beer, pizza, and pay for your effort. Your work shop, tools, experience and mentorship would be greatly appreciated. Make a video of the job if you like. The car runs well. This would essentially be a refresh of many components under the hood as preventative maintenance to assure continued reliability. The car's maintenance schedule has been adhered to. Castrol 5W-40 has been used for the life of the car. I'm the original owner and only driver. The car has been driven in Europe, South Korea and California. The engine bay is clean. Car interior and exterior are clean. To be clear, I want to learn from you by working side by side and understanding the process. I have experience as a mechanic on jet engines, but the VR6 is a different story. The car has 157K miles. Let me know if you're interested. This effort could make a good video.

[@thirdgeargrind]

Can do! Send me an email with your info

Could you tell me how you did all this in 10 minutes. Asking for a friend

[@thirdgeargrind]

potentially illegal substances.

I have a 12v ... and I have a head gasket leak .... and this is what I got to do ? Makes me not wanna have a vr6

[@PhillyDee215]

[@Marcoitouch]

How much you think is a good price to do this job

[@louvendran7273]

This like a 25 hour job minimum.

[@KADAMANUDA]

@@louvendran7273 Not more than 6 hours

[@gavanphotography7814]

How did you keep the engine in time when you took the cam gears off?

[@P4nnda]

You put motor in TDC by crankshaft and then cam with T10068. And cam gears goes there only one way

[@stephencutts7399]

Once crank is tdc , the engine should be in time , Once getting ready to put in time just make sure cams are in time and it should fall back together

[@southdakotaslim7419]

Good one!

[@Justin.w.32]

Is this similar to the 12v

[@thirdgeargrind]

There are definitely some differences, but yes similar.

[@coucouj2781]

Same for 3.2 vr6?
