@@TheMstwntdLMSV123 have you ever owned a car that had the bearings go?in my 49yrs on this planet I have had a few old beaters and a few new cars and vans that developed a crankshaft bearings issue and the noise it makes is a very specific sound and once you have heard that sound then it's highly likely that your bottom end is knocking.the reason for my initial comment was because they stripped out all the the engine,brakes etc when you should have known that sound straight away and if that had happened to me then the bottom end of the engine would have been my first thing to check.im not BRAGGING about my mechanical expertise I'm just saying that I was very surprised that they didn't pick it up straight away.

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.

@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....

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.

[@joelphillips6697]

Nice work guys, lots of respect to you and your team for going above and beyond to make sure the car was repaired and good to go.

[@xenoshade8997]

I cannot believe the way you guys handled this. Will be buying as much as my merchandise from Throtl now. Granted it doesn't look like you guys sell much for built Pontiac Solstices but no fear, ill find some way to support! I'm early in my build and plan a forced induction 1jz swap within the next few years so i will certainly support! Cheers! Side note, not many companys do not sell pontiac solstice merch cause its not the typical build/project car but that's why im challenging myself.

[@TN_AU]

You serious? how they handled this? Its KZbin and their reputation is on the line, its not like they are going to say on camera, well you drive it, you break it, its your problem, geeze, its all for show.

[@xenoshade8997]

@@TN_AU LOL, they could have easily just not recorded them giving it away, they never had to help the guy, or fix the car. Its a giveaway, AS IS. But they went above and beyond anyways. Stop living you're life trying to find the negatives of others and start fixing your own. You might start enjoying it more...

Dude, chill. I ain't starting shit with you, have a great day.

[@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

[@lucashanlon2760]

nice to see you guys still rocking the broken hockey stick as a hood prop

“Sound like the transmission” 😂😂

[@h2omechanic]

Always pull the pan & pop off a rod cap & plasti gauge it. See how far the bearings are worn from spec. I race junkyard engines & with much success 1 failure in 6 years & 22 races.

[@GermanEliteTuning]

#fullsendbrett 🤘🏻 it’s great you guys are making it right for him. Huge props.

[@bonfire978]

That sound was like a terrified chicken 😂

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

Brett seems like a great car guy. I'm glad he won. This MR2 is just a straight up Baby Ferrari F40. Amazing build

[@shyyzzz]

nothing about this car is f40 like other than being mid engine and having pop ups

[@vampireotaku4172]

More like a 355 in my opinion.

[@Surfweinerhawaii]

Had a subaru that i bought with a blown headgasket in the past. Sent the heads to the machine shop, new head gasket and everything else. Started a rod knock just miles later. Swapped in a new used short block and it was all good. Hated having to pull it all back out and buy more gaskets. Anything can happen in life or with cars, lesson learned and more time turning wrenches is all good.

[@crazyloco8844]

I'm glad y'all didn't blame the customer for the misfortune. Nowadays, nobody wants to claim the problem and be responsible for nuthin'! Glad you're doing RIGHT by the customer.👍

[@NeonTuner524]

Best time to have it break! You guys are awesome for doing the fix right then and there. He definitely got the FULL THROTL experience 😉😉😅😅

[@NeonTuner524]

Ps: you are welcome for the new jet tag idea "Full Throtl" 😂😂

[@priceschubert]

Jeez that sounds good on the pulls

[@duncancollin6128]

[@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.

[@scottschaefer2086]

Crazy. Top of the line shop. Literally has lambos disassembled in the back ground. Just goes to show we’re all human and we’re judged not by our mistakes but by how we resolve those mistakes. Good job guys.

[@alecsimm1418]

Sounds dry...any oil in there 😂

[@Adam-qs5ir]

'Hey Jim??' 'Yeah Joe?' 'Why do we have so much oil left over from that MR2 work?' 'Oh shit... Stop them!'

[@ExileXCross]

That's my guess also bearings were dry when the engine was cranked up

[@SpiritRei180sx]

7:37 where it all starts

[@ammarwasim306]

Lmao he didn't even rev match 😂

[@heavyvv]

Ty

[@cavgonzales]

Sounds like it already started knocking before that

[@cheekychae]

Heard it knocking soon as the in car footage came on

[@SteampunkDream]

I heard it at 6:15 if you have spun a rod before, or a passage is blocked you've heard that noise right on start up before.

[@Redm140]

Can hear the crank falling out almost immediately 6:50

[@ryanp1467]

These car builds have became my new obsession. These vids are so good. I watch them everytime on my breaks at work

[@audiogman5865]

Holy crap. I can’t believe they took all that apart and not finding what the noise was. Could’ve used a cheap car stethoscope to pinpoint where the noise was coming from and listened at the oil pan. Then pull the pan off and see the damage.

[@clutchkicker-k8c]

That's how true men deal with such situations...

[@viintagevibes8563]

Not when you're broke, I'd cry lmaoo

[@gscotty2]

Oh yeah? Real men don't try and give away broken shit

[@rich6871]

This made for such good video lmao. Great support team though, iconic customer experience for sure

[@frostback8160]

That sounds amazing! 30sec later..Knocky knock

[@juniorschouten3448]

Awesome how you guys handled this. No moaning or complaining just working to a suitable solution, because we all know mechanical stuff can breakdown and sometimes it is less obvious why it did. But in this case I believe it had something to do with a high mileage.

[@JonHowes1]

The noise can be heard at 6:49...before that pull. Good on you guys for tearing into it and making it right.

[@bizzybcarm.d.7828]

That's probably the first non jz Toyota motor I've seen blowup!

[@driftingstyles]

Then you havnt seen many toyota motors! They blow up as often as every other brand

[@Andres-wy5du]

Shit every 3.0 v6 ive layed eyes on ticks and then trows a rod

[@Johnny-tq9no]

It didn't blow up lol it just broke

[@negativeindustrial]

Andrew Whalley “Just as much as every other brand”? So all brands, Russian, American, Korean, Japanese, German, Italian or English fail at the same rate?

[@davidrangeljr_]

You guys do an amazing job regardless great work team !

[@kwgtrauma6483]

Huge respect to you guys for showing us all this and making it right !

[@leroyvandyke3798]

I’ve spun a few and they didn’t sound like that! Guess this one was getting ready to send a rod through the block. Great you guys stood behind your work 👍

[@Emilthehun]

The tap was already there before the highway pull. None the less , what a machine that little mr2 is with that v6 in it.
