Its good to see a quality engine build, which is why it costs a lot of money. Dave and you take care with every stage of the construction, plus the running in period under your control should help with the durability of the engine. Why the customer should take a brand new built engine then remap it, i cannot understand. It should have a stock map in it for a few thousand miles, just to make sure there are no unforseen problems, which could lead to yet another rebuild (at the customers expence). Thank you Thomas, for a thorough engine build video. I appreciated it, if not many others did. Great to see quality work done. Kindest regards, Dave W 😊

Hello. I was wondering if you have a list of all the parts that you would use to put an Rs4 B7 back together. I have not taken it apart yet. But I know that it was knocking. I can only assume it spun some bearings do to low oil. Hopefully I will not have to junk the engine. Thank you in advance.

[@raycollington4310]

Nice work Dave. IMO, engine assembly is best done my someone with experience of that engine. We all think we can build an engine. I have built diesel engines many years ago. I wouldn’t tackle one of these. There must be a 101 things you could get wrong. This didn’t bore me at all. Thank you.

[@julianpalmer4674]

Good video cementing yourselves as the place to go for Audi RS engine rebuilds

[@Dalbayob69]

Very informative video. I just had to take my engine apart…only 2 days after assembly 🤦‍♂️ all because I managed to get wrong sealant. Instead of Victor Reinz reinsoseal I got reinsoplast. F knows what it’s for but it doesn’t harden, stays liquid forever and is a proper pain in arse to clean off surfaces. Atleast it’s my own car and no issues with wasted time, just pi$$ed off about having to do job twice.

[@lifeslooker]

I rate your knowledge...this is never boring, so interesting as to what needs to be done from putting a brand new second hand engine in. It's amazing - how is the pull/ power on it?

[@obsessedcloset2638]

Very very cool and so easy when you know how.

[@johnhealy2001]

Brilliant done this on loads of engines but never an Audi any idea of What was the total price just of the parts seals skimming the heads gaskets rings head bolts not the labour so I can have idea on doing similar sometimes these cars are having engine trouble and an idea on parts would be great to have idea. Again good video

[@TDRE88]

I want an rs5 so bad you guys show why I should not buy one though!

[@AndrewHellyer]

Do you have some sort of oil on the journals when you are measuring with plastigauge? It looks like the caps were moving a lot when measuring, which could give a false reading, showing smaller tolerance than actual, resulting in low oil pressure.

[@mfordy1056]

Great video !

[@stuart6973]

breakaway torque crankshaft rotation values??

[@rotorblade9508]

I was wondering what is the break in procedure for these engines Aslo, since it’s using higher flow CAT’s it might be the computer doesn’t add enough fuel now. I would add wide band o2 (if not already on the car) and watch what happens under different situations or log them. if there is more power, the fuel enrichment might need to kick in slightly sooner. the knock sensors logging should also help.

[@VAGTechnic]

We installed these catalytic before , they good with stock map . Only had problem once when the O2 sensor was playing up . Ideally stock map for future , no hard feelings with MRC

Awesome video, gave me some new perspective. Quick question for the cylinder bores on a second hand rebuild like this, when using new piston rings do you leave the factory coating alone or do you do a light hone?

[@davidoloughlin3180]

why didn't you tape the bottom of the connecting rods when you were installing them into the block ? can't you easily scrap the cylinder walls ?

[@VAGTechnic]

How ?

[@davidoloughlin3180]

@VAGTechnic just the tip of the connecting rod swaying back and forth during install. It's been known to happen. I'm not saying you did it but it's a precaution some people do to avoid long term problems.

Tuning will be the death of us all. At some point, the encryption may be so strong that these tuner fellows can no longer monkey with the engine parameters. That will be a good day.

[@thewaywardgrape3838]

These "remaps" that people get are terrible ideas for many reasons. The "tuning boxes" are the worst, they just add more fuel and/or mess with the timing. If you own a fast car or want to make yours faster with a tune, don't bother getting it mapped - you'll do more harm than good.
