THE ENGINE BAY OPENED!!!!!! FIRST TIME Revealing 5 YEARS of NO SERVICE! ($38,500 MCLAREN PART 7)

[@TheInja]

Can't even explain how crazy that moment was. That was a legit reaction, and I had to check to make sure the camera was rolling because I almost didn't even film it, thinking it wouldn't work like the last 3,391 times I've pressed the button hahaha But that POP just changed my life for the better

[@skeelo69]

I replayed the footage you ain't kidding me....this was staged 😂😂😂

[@TheInja]

@@skeelo69 yeah filmed it like 13 times before I got a natural looking reaction I was happy with!!

[@ripn929707]

I was both as ecstatic as you when it finally opened, then as disappointed as your wife at how little you can see... 😂😂 It was a ride.

[@angelcruz2559]

Wow big bro

[@angelcruz2559]

Don't for get the driver door lock

[@18000rpm]

Those new door cards look WAY cooler than the old ones!

[@TheInja]

Agreed! 🔥

[@mrshaneyt43]

That oil was mad . What has always surprised me over my many years of watching KZbin car videos is the fact there is a group of people out there that have amazing,expensive,dream vehicles and treat them worse than I treat my £500 old motor .

[@TheInja]

Yep. Pretty crazy. Some people have no respect for what they have.

[@RealRickCox]

I'm blown away (impressed) at how you're able to do do the work on this thing... I'm mechanically inclined and I wouldn't have the first clue how to do this stuff!! Great work!

[@patjewers]

Came to the comments to see if anyone mentioned the oil being “milky” to see if anyone brought up the fact that you might have a bad head gasket. If you’re getting coolant in the oil on a normal car, it’s usually an indication that the car overheated at one point and cooked that gasket . Excessive white smoke is another indicator.. I’m not a mechanic so I hope I’m wrong. Love watching this build

[@JF-4444]

That is the first thing I thought when I saw that milky oil coming out. If the car has an oil to water heat exchanger and it got compromised that could also cause the contamination of the oil with coolant. Fingers crossed it's not a head gasket.

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

He started it up in an past episode and it wasn’t chugging smoke so maybe not. But it was only running a short time so it’s possible the cooling system didn’t pressurize and force itself past the gasket. Or there’s just not enough coolant. Regardless, I have a bad feeling this engine is gonna have to come out.

[@TheInja]

Coolant was all clear when I got the car, and the oil doesn't seem milky, just waaay past service interval. That's the hope at least. 🙌🏽 If the engine comes out, so be it. We'll get it running!

[@markblunsum6164]

Really enjoying these videos! Will be interesting to see what the oil analysis is. Not undertaken an oil change where the old oil had that type of consistency but I’ve only owned normal’ cars! 😊

[@philtucker1224]

Leaning over so far to reach the engine must be really annoying, I used to work on a Boxster that was similarly restricted. I guess taking the whole rear of the car off first gives you much better access?

[@ripn929707]

Now that youve got that engine cover latch working, now would be a good time to engineer an emergency release. Use either a cable, or an auxiliary wire and switch that you can power up with a jumper box. Cant wait to see this beast running down the street. You've done an excellent job so far, with ine of the most complicated rebuilds a man can take on.

[@ScottTheis]

Video liked because of that honest reaction.

[@blackhole9215]

I heard you say when you reached for the socket “10 millilitre” 😂 metric measurements are so confusing

[@whobroughtdude2231]

Hell of a job, man!! I felt that excitement of getting the engine latch open through my phone 😂 Can’t wait to see the next video. Congrats!

[@TheInja]

Thanks dude!! Looking forward to that sweet first drive!!

[@selfmotivatedmotorcycles]

Congratulations on opening the engine bay cover. Man what an awesome Car you’re going to have when it’s done. Most people go there whole lives without a Lamborghini or Mclaren and you have both. Awesome!!!!!!!!! Again congratulations on that hood latch.

[@TheInja]

Appreciate you! Truly blessed. Still can't believe I have a McLaren in my garage.

[@lasersterling]

Great update! I hope the oil comes back just old, and you can just replace and fire her up. Fingers crossed!

[@TheInja]

Yep, very much looking forward to the report this coming week 😌

[@mc-sky]

Love this channel.....lil bit goonzquad , a lil bit suronster

[@ebikebuilds4000]

Very inspiring. Im still working on my own Ducati build from your previous videos. Got my battery finished up and working on mounting it to the frame. I guess I need to find a wrecked supercar to do next 😂

[@TheInja]

So sick! Glad we have some content for you that helps!

[@randygalati]

The interior looks way better, just an FYI you’re not supposed to leave cars on a pump jacks for a long time. Jack stands are the safe way.

[@TheInja]

There are jack stands under it, just like it higher.

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

The fact that there's no simple mechanical bypass to get the engine lid open is absolutely batshit insane. Like, come on. I've actually been thinking about getting a 12C but things like this are just nuts even for a quirky exotic car.

[@IggyBiggy]

I was thinking the same thing. Absolutely bonkers it takes so much work to open a hood. I get its an exotic "super car" but wtf. The engine bay should always be accessible. Would absolutely hate a car like this, but they probably only want there own tech's working on them.

[@bergrud]

It is. Jump the fuse or wiring. Seat must go out.

[@Trixboomer]

Solid work the door panels look awesome! Stoked to watch your progress keep on grinding

[@TheInja]

Will do 💯

[@Sabloschi]

I m very happy for you mate! 🥳👍

[@mattsexton4787]

Brooo definitely a must do run a cheap oil change through the engine WITH MOTOR FLUSH! Get all of that sludge out of the engine. But let’s gooo! So excited for you man. Sometimes good things happens to good people.

[@TheInja]

Appreciate you a ton, thank you. For sure will throw some oil in there, drain it, fill it with the good stuff. 🙌🏽 Giving it ALL the love 🫡

[@mattsexton4787]

@@TheInja Definitely don’t forget the motor flush, it’s basically acetone that thins out & removes the remaining sludge & deposits that’s in there. CRC makes it & you can easily find it at any auto parts store. Anyways, good luck with the build man! I love watching & following along. Can’t wait for Part 8!

[@Geo1872.]

Hey Inja,Could you maybe get your old door panels into a restoration shop ? Would be worth keeping.Awesome work on the McLaren.👌🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TheRealAlpha2]

The second that engine cover popped I bet so much stress released for you. Hopefully you don't find rodent damage from it sitting for so long. The black hood with the unpainted white fenders reminded me of Need for Speed Most Wanted and the cop supercars.

[@TheInja]

Ah man, totally forgot about the cop cars in NFS back in the day. Good times. 💯

[@TheInja]

Everything as far as wiring and rodent damage (haven't found any) looks to be in good shape! And we now know the wiring harness is fully operational now that the engine latches work. 🙌🏽

[@PasqualeMieleJr-ox5rf]

That’s what makes it so hard to work on these cars because depending on the model you have some of the models you have to take the whole body off in order to get access to the engine so that’s probably what your problem is. You’re probably have to take the body off.

[@nopiatl]
