Probably a repost but I thought it was pretty cool...

I think it's funny how the guy looks like a total moron but he actually knows what he's doing. :shrug

You know, the whole time I was watching this I was thinking things like, I haven't built an engine in a while; man I miss building engines; and, you know, I have an oil leak that I can't seem to find, I bet a rebuild would cure that! Thanks for making me feel the need to take on another expensive project I can't afford and my girlfriend will kill me for!

I thought it was funny when the guy's sticking his tongue out, there's a guy in the back scratchin his nuts...

Hey Brian... that's how you gap rings. hahaha

damn! wish a guy who knew his shit like that like close to me...too bad that guy is from wisconsin. Man...i feel like buying a 2nd 2g and "Attempt" to rebuild it myself. that way if it blows up when im done, i can get in the other and just drive away! doubt it was just "Under 10 mins" of work tho...

Rebuilding an engine isn't rocket science, just buy a spare engine, take notes as you tear it down, then follow your notes and the manuals' spec's when you put it back together. How do you think 99% of the guys on here that have built an engine learned how to do it ;) Go for it man, it's fun, you'll learn a lot about your car, and you'll feel great about yourself in the end.

BTW; every engine you rebuild adds an inch to your schlong, thats why I had to plumb warm water into the toilet bowl at my house :+

Brian's eyes are far superior to any tool ever made by man. =P

I would never use my tq wrench to turn main/head stud nuts 90 degrees.

Doesn't this apply ONLY to torque yeild bolts and not stud kits?

bleh...standard assembly. Not a complete rebuild lol.
Also not done in 10 min...edited to 10 min? yes.

Dino could do it in 9.

I torqued my head studs 90 degrees, because I was told to follow the manufacturers instructions. So I don't know about that one. :shrug

I'm just saying I wouldn't have used my torque wrench to do it.

If you're talking about ARP head studs, then NO you DON'T turn them 90*. They have a very exact torque specification that comes with the studs. If you're unsure, call ARP.

The stock torque specs and quarter-turn thing is for TTY (torque to yield) bolts that are designed to stretch, like our stock head bolts.

hmmm. Well, no problems so far. I guess when I take the head back off I'll probably need to get some new ones. :(

well this vid and the comment from the peep made me wanna go out and buy a whole new engine just to mess with...but around here "Rice town USA" National city, CA. they try to rip you off, they think we are all stupid...ex. given: $100 for a trunk lid? WTF? i also need to research what a "complete engine" consists of. im still a <newb>, i head all about the "head" ,bottom, top, blah blah, maybe this summer if i can afford it... :)

I'm pretty sure I could do that on a 420a. It took me about 8 hours to build my VQ35DE for the Z, but it was my first time and I was going super slow heh.
