IM REBUILDING MY AUDI R8'S V8 ENGINE!! *IN DEPTH* PT1

[@Luki1060]

Juggling a full time job, family life and every other day stuff and you still manage to produce fantastic to watch content, a proper grafter Dean! Mega impressed! This channel should have a lot more subscribers, you work ethic and time spent explaining stuff is second to none and you should be really proud of yourself

[@gsmdo8836]

Excellent work - your solo work ethic continues to amaze me🙂

[@DGDJI]

Man, I get palpitations when I open an IKEA box, this is next level!!

[@axlebeastly]

Your attention to detail, explaining each step and CLEANLINESS is top notch. Great work. Looking forward to part 2.

[@richardstaz721]

Not sure about using that old jumper to clean the bores though.

[@deanage1983]

Great progress. A little tip for you put a dot of paint on each bolt after its torqued so when you come back later you know what had been done 👍 looking forward to the next installment

[@stephendutton3766]

The detail is perfect. When I've watched others doing similar, I'd always thought they were cutting corners, and yours shows how it should be done. I'd imagine most of this would apply regardless of the engine type so the extra info is great.

[@satianable]

The patience of a saint well done dean

[@RichsRides]

I've been looking forward to this. Love the fact that you're saving this car and showing what is possible. Keep up the good work my man.

[@francisjtuk]

That's got to be one of the best 22mins on youtube out there! Something very satisfying about watching a V8 engine being built.

[@davidhatton6858]

This is enthralling Dean, brilliant in depth viewing. Can't wait to watch rest of the build.

[@Mandk1108]

This is my kind of video. Haven’t stripped an engine in years and just watching you do this Dean gives me chills. Love it 👍👍👍👍👍

[@andrewgrimshaw5180]

That was incredibly well done. Very impressive - the last time I did anything complicated on a car was 40 yrs ago on my first mini 1000!

[@trainmanbob]

Wonderful to enjoy watching an engine rebuild being done meticulously. Dean, you certainly know what you are doing...years of knowledge put to the test. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next part. Cheers, Bob

[@malcelwell7209]

Can’t wait for the first start up , love this video 👌👍

[@johnhounslea4226]

Absolutely amazes me to see an engine like that in complete pieces only for someone to put it back together & it actually works !! I get a sweat on changing light bulb !!! Can't wait to hear that awesome v8 burst back into life, great content Dean.

[@markmcdoodle1897]

in depth, is good. I'm no mechanic, so great to see at this level.

[@astonman4]

What a terrific tutorial / education you've provided today Dean. Now looking forward even more to the subsequent parts of this engine rebuild. Brilliant channel. Thanks 👍

[@aidencoder]

The detail in these videos answers so many questions I've had for AGES. Thank you

[@malfunction8165]

So everyone, lube up your rings before insertion and connecting to the shaft, or you'll break your rods.

[@davidroberts3914]

Fantastic content Dean, your patience is incredible, proper old school mechanic, unlike some so called fitters today. Looking forward to next video 👍👍

[@tonyjones7372]

that is mind-blowing. watching you is about as close as I will ever get to building something as complicated as that!

[@DaveJMcGarry]

Little tip for you, when clamping the rings on the piston, leave some skirt exposed to help line up the piston/liner when installing. Great work for personal build.

[@paultaylor9652]

You're at the critical stage now Dean, looking good so far matey.

[@v12dot]

I’ve got an identical 07 black manual 20k miles since I got it new .I’ve put off watching you videos as mine was in for a crank seal and clutch ….lack of use ! One other thing to look out for , is the transfer shaft seal and bearing . Luckily it was found when they were in there , or it would have been grim ! You’re doing great pal 👍Can’t wait to see her up and running .

[@jameswilson3573]

Nice one - love this stuff! So many other channels are superficial and the nitty gritty of the mechanics and electrics is what I like 👍

[@jayacourt8282]

Looks so good when all the parts come back looking fresh! Great rebuild so far, keep them coming 👌🏻

[@eliashojden4640]

Im learning so much about engines when im watching you. Great work!

[@peterbowden2646]

Not an Audi fan but seeing you tackle something as elaborate and complicated as this you can't help but still take an interest bravo👏bring on the next instalment

[@guyhitchcock6514]

Roll on Pt2 , I’ve been waiting & looking forward for this rebuild to start, great job Dean 👍🏻

[@colinclark8132]

Great Video Dean whoever trained you done a great job frightening looking at that work bench full of bits. This is coming from a ex HGV Mechanic, another level mate

[@RonnyJakobsson]

You are becoming a real expert on renovation of VW engines.

[@jonnyduncan7056]

Top work, I did a 2.0L, 16V Vauxhall C20XE for my Kit Car four years ago and the engine strip down and rebuild was the most enjoyable part. You have another four pistons, too.. Really enjoy the streams and your attention to detail is amazing and you juggle lots of balls in the air at the same time.

[@eamonkelly2792]

Hi Dean, excellent work as always, hopefully you'll have it running soon can't wait to hear it per

[@Ja5onB0urn3]

22:24 Brilliant as ever mate! The satisfaction you must get when you turn the key for the 1st time must be fantastic. Kudos mate. 😎

[@joeblack007]

Dean, you have inspired me to upgrade the cam in my 2.0 ABA engine. Wish me luck! 😅

[@bigboy1170]

Great content Dean! Loving it!!

[@steveegginton535]

That's some complex engine but with your attention to detail we know it will go back right. Great to see this work in detail - look forward to the next one.

[@adamr9600]

Good work Dean. It’s amazing the last engine I rebuilt was a Mercedes M114 (2.5 i6) from the late 60’s and the bottom end rebuild has very little difference in process/design in how they go together, guess it’s proof that the IC engines design and very concept was nailed years ago. I know once you get to the heads and ancillaries there is huge advancement. 👍🏻

[@johnelbro127]

So admire you knowledge and bravery to undertake this work, well done look forward to the fitting and running. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheJensenInterceptor]

Thank you, we are closely supporting you, not an easy task but take care and don't go mad as this engine is a nasty piece of work....

[@electrician1602]

Brilliant. I could watch this for 2 or 3 hours and be engrossed. Good work Dean.

[@James-my6ko]

Brilliant content👍. Really enjoyed the in depth content. You have the patience of a saint putting this engine together.

[@markrigg7038]

I've built quite a few bike engines over the years, but this motor is next level building skill, hats off to you mate 👍

[@TonyWhitley]

Yeah, I've built a few low tech 4 pot car engines but this is scary.

[@SavingSalvage]

Thank you very much!

[@Peter-o]

What about the gaps between crank and bearings, I think you should check it before torque with special paste to match the footprint on wideness

[@gsxr1000zk4]

Hands down best car content on the tube well done pal cant wait for more

[@MrHuismeester]

For some wan like me who is totally a nitwit on engine it is still a very nice video to watch ! Now i understand a little more why engine can be very expensive because they are very time consuming ! And for also very complicated to (re)build. To see how precisely you are working and all off the patient you put in to this job, i can understand why you become a mechanic, because in the end this engine will run again !

[@terrymorris3293]

This is a fantastic video. Absolutely fascinating. I can't wait to see this engine set up and working

[@andrewkidger7048]

Yep, looking good Dean, just take your time and double check, really enjoying the close up content, top stuff, well done.

[@clivedavies3510]

Absolutely love watching these engine rebuilds so interesting keep them coming please.

[@nick3795]

Great content again Dean, thanks for the video. Hope the engine performs as good as it looks

[@markcfullam]

Nice one Dean, been looking forward to this for a while. Awesome video as ever with the detail and really look forward to seeing the next one!

[@gman6861]

Brilliantl as always Dean. The way you explain everything is second to none. Really enjoying the build 👍🏻

[@John-rf4sv]

Enjoyed this video don’t change ur format it’s easy to follow and informative 👍👍

[@petedougan5682]

Yas ! I've been waiting for this to start. Bravo 👏. Brave lad Dean.

[@krisduyshaver]

Nice work. Thank you for taking the time to show us all the details. I looking forward to see the next video 🙄. Thank you!🙂

[@motheolebelo]

This is epic Loving this step-by-step engine build tutorial 👌

[@benlomax7513]

Its a good job you tidied up that unit!! Great work

[@dwrowley]

Excellent video and explanation, got more patience than me, well done , looking forward to the rest of it

[@zethembebenedictmbatha]

Love you explaining everything! Keep up the quality content.

[@chrisneillcrn]

Excellent. Very clear rebuild process, not that I will ever be rebuilding an R8 engine unfortunately. 👍

[@tonypreston6778]

Great job Dean & awe inspiring, I wouldn't know where to start with this.

[@carguy121]

Have been following the whole story and gotta say that i admire your`e work so keep it up and good work!

[@mattinmalaga]

I replaced my DPF pressure sensor today only breaking 1 plastic clip in the process & dropping just a single screw that was never to be found again, if only I'd seen your video first and how easy you make it look I might have rebuilt my entire engine and transmission whilst I had my adjustable spanner and bent nose pliers handy!!

[@beachuk2000]

Good work dude. Engine builds are good fun but so time consuming making sure you don’t make a silly mistake. I had it with a Subaru rebuild where a tiny bit of swarf was stuck inside a head and that destroyed the heads cam seat and cam

[@kennadod2080]

Excellent content, I find it absolutely fascinating what goes into engine rebuilding. Looking forward to the next one

[@kevinf2231]

Hats off to you! Thats a shed load of work you have done there 👍

[@peterrea254]

Thanks Dean, love your videos,perhaps the best on KZbin.

[@dm2378]

Level of detail is amazing. Thanks for the content

[@dazza291970]

Seriously impressive you can keep track of all the parts of two engines, plus new parts and know what's going where! I lose nuts and bolts doing a service 🤣. Fingers crossed all works out well with the car

[@keironastbury9399]

Looking good bro, all those parts off the old engine I would clean all up and put them on eBay to make some lost money back, great job so far can't wait to hear that engine start.

[@markcooper4945]

Superstar, so impressive also given the value of the parts… top job

[@cardiybylogan2088]

Top work Dean as always, I bet you were checking 3 times before moving onto the next part with an engine like that!

[@Welwynnick]

Loved the video. Dreading the timing gear assembly. Cheers, Nick

[@Stan22ish]

What a perfect vid ;and awesome work on the R8 engine 💪🏾

[@darrenjones9504]

Brilliant Dean. Love the detail you are showing us 👍👍

[@leetaylor5348]

[@davidpercy7727]

Really good video mate like how you explain the process can't wait for the next video 👏

[@sonnyjim1976]

[@jameslynch165]

Excellent work Dean, can’t wait for the next instalment 🛠👌

[@ramondicarrera2772]

Another great video. Brilliant. Keep them coming! If ever you land in the north of England and need something, let me know!!

[@morgatis101]

Superb video Dean , so well made and informative 😎

[@Dizzee44]

Love watching your videos you are so chilled and relaxed doing what others would lose there shit over

[@DarkabaxPrepper]

Great to see the inner workings of this beast. It’s going to be epic when you get it to fire up. That’s going to feel like such a major achievement (because it is). Cheers for sharing such a detailed rebuild. Atb, Andy

[@kevinnye5132]

Wow is very technical Dean 😅 I just thought you just throw it all together and it works 😂, nice work and very precisely done and so hope it runs like the proverbial Swiss watch .

[@VivaceCoin]

i like the timelapses they are really in depth and interesting

[@mikmak3154]

You should build an observation room so we can come and watch LIVE.

[@MattyEngland]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesr8897]

FairPlay to you for taking on such a big project 👌

[@markwarren3590]

Brilliant video I been so looking forward to watching this rebuild

[@charlesprime8408]

Hi Dean you have a lot of trust with the engineering work on crank be safe and check the oil clearance with a plastigage
