I’ve been an automotive tech for over 10 years and have installed a ton of used engines and have never done more than exterior seals.

There would have been a lesser chance of this happening and they would have saved themselves the headache.

Lol just to tear down the valve train takes 19+hrs on these motors(with a expert), that's not including pulling/dropping the motor, putiing it back and refilling fluids,etc. Swap a couple of valve covers/pieces on the outside and be done.

@Macks MR2's (especially SW20's i.e. the model in this video) are very much a "cockpit" feel, you are quite literally surrounded quite closely by "the car", i.e., the big hump/centre consul in the interior is actually where the fuel tank is, for front/rear balance/ideal weight distribution purposes.... I'm 6'4" & own a hardtop ( i.e. no sun roof/s ) & I'm a snug ass fit - i use the maximum seat rearwards travel but I'm perfectly comfortable once I'm in. I have worked out a technique of getting in as even the O.E.M seats had reasonably big ( for an O.E.M seat) side bolsters ( adjustable!!!) most aftermarket seats are, - really a bit too big 4 MR's. Some "Bride" models fit O.K. The O.E.M seats are already pretty much on the floor & are at the sill level.... = lower centre of gravity = better cornering ability... If you ever get to look in the "Frunk" (front trunk) check out the battery location - as low as possible.... Excellent design ideas off of the drawing board....

[@michaelbradley7529]

I think it's awesome that you guys are showing this and doing right buy this customer. Having said that, if I were you I would do everything possible to ensure that motor is healthy even if it means getting it finished later than anticipated. Even if it means pulling the motor apart and inspecting the bearing surfaces and piston rings. It's more work than just a motor swap but it's less work than doing a motor swap for a potential third time.

I like it. Honesty is always the best answer. Even when it dosen't seem like it at first.

Good job on making it right I'm glad you guys were going to put an engine in it that's cool spot man I know y'all spend that time already on it and then you go the extra mile and put another engine in it that's awesome

Never watched any of your videos, never even seen your channel before this video. But it's fuckin awesome y'all are doing right by him and putting a new engine in for him. Y'all earned this sub.

You guys showed up in my recommendations and I am happy about that! I thought this was great especially for me being a mechanic idiot, I could really enjoy your efforts in trying to locate the problem patiently. But, @15:51 I blew a snot bubble laughing at that face of annoyance and you kept me for the whole video!

[@mathieugravelle]

That noise hurts my head lol, glad you guys were able to rectify the issue for the costumer. For those shit talking them for not knowing what the issue was immediately from the noise, nobody knows everything and all that matters is that they figured it out and solved the issue, I'm sure they will know in the future what the noise is. Great job and keep doing what you're doing.

[@stevenguy7363]

CCB TV I’ve done plenty of engine swaps, I’m not a mechanic. However I do know enough to know that you don’t use a junkyard engine without at least checking the condition of your bearings, cylinders and valve train.

[@FAQBrooks]

Great to see you guys fix the car for the winner! Super impressed

[@mr.k2389]

Great video. These things happen, love that you showed it all.

[@jonathanfairchild]

I respect y’all for showing this. Regardless of all the couch mechanics “oh I knew immediately when I heard it”. Pssshh in the moment and excitement it’s easy to miss stuff. Especially if you drove it just yesterday and it worked fine. They took it upon themselves to fix their problem. That’s what counts. I bet in the future this will only make them better mechanics and a better company.

[@roddydykes7053]

Denial that all that effort on the engine could go out the window in a moment

[@joshuanelson9200]

Handling this like true professionals and gentlemen. Proud to support the Throtl family. Well done guys.

[@joeszucs2190]

I disagree. Pro level would be making checks. Send fluids out for lab analysis . remove and measure tolorences ect. Amateur is just swapping in an unknown motor.

[@joshuanelson9200]

Joe Szucs This is a giveaway car that the client technically broke after receiving delivery. It’s not an F1 car about to race the Indy 500. Lab analysis of fluids... give me a break my guy. Hahaha

[@joeszucs2190]

@@joshuanelson9200 I understand it's a give away car. You do not understand the difference between pro and amateur. Pro does not use unknown parts without fully examining them. Heck I'm an amateur and before I rebuild a motor I magnaflux it so I know I'm not just throwing time labor machining and money away

[@joshuanelson9200]

Joe Szucs I hear you and understand your point. I was using the term “professional” in the business sense for taking responsibility and replacing the motor, not necessarily the build process as a whole. Knowing these guys, they learned their lesson. Have a nice weekend man, cheers 👍🏻

[@joeszucs2190]

@@joshuanelson9200 O yes for sure they are stand up guys and they did right by him. But I shutter they did not identify that knock before hand. Id be even more pissed if I won and didn't get the option to supply a fully built motor and just have to take it apart again though.

[@ChrisRogersTheAngryChef]

I would have checked the pullies first, that's what it sounded like to me when I first herd it. Nice job finding that bad throwout bearing, I wouldn't have checked that... beautiful car by the way, it makes you guys look surprisingly good posting this video.

Always always check your fluids coolant, oil make sure you have a belt running the water pump and alternator. Hear at idle on first start if something is off and fix that before driving and if driving and the temp or oil light start to move and get hot or read low oil pressure pull over and see and fix why it is causing the problem.

@J Mayorga exactly, and when its still knocking as they get on the highway he nervously shoots his head over the second buddy says "this car sounds.." and then gets a huge sigh of relief when buddy mentions the exhaust, not the engine's death rattle. Same with constantly looking over at the gauges, which im assuming he was watching oil pres.
