The issue is that there's insufficient airflow in the dyno cell

GM Atlas 2.9, I have one in my 2007 colorado, 193k miles I feel it's quite bulletproof, but I'm just waiting for something to go wrong

The M3’s overall looks and proportions make up for the grille but hard pass still on the M4. The latter just looks like a fat grand tourer. Might as well slap an 8-series badge on it.

Get it, boys! Love the collab

A swap from a 3.55 rear gear to a 2.73 rear gear at the same time as going from the 4l65 to the 6l80 will maintain the same ratios in 1st gear and get alot better milage in 6th.

I remember my dad cursing me out for buying some multiviscosity oil. He said there's no such thing as 15w40.😅😅😅

Great content mate

Toyota had nothing to do with the engine. The B58 was developed before the Supra deal.

do you have a jig you can make these or need an NSX there to make?

I'm in Portugal and wished there was something at this level in Europe.

It is very difficult in this time to find a good used engine and I believe it is the year 2024 period that no more good engines still exist. Before 10 years back was better…

The sound of Freedom

With the hundai ioniq it's one of the first cars that showed that e-mobility is possible. They are still relevant today, hence the steady prices for used models. I think the used market price will only start to really drop once the newer EVs with a price of 20-25k € are launched.

Damn, OJ knows his shit 👍

At 7:00 - anybody notice that beautifully painted black Nova? Malibu? G body? Not %100 sure but I’m guessing the audience here is more likely to relate with that hot rod as opposed to a V12 Mercedes. That said I’d love to hear what you’ve done with that v8. I’m struggling with my 5.7 hemi now that I’ve installed long tubes. Need help getting the volume down to a civilized decibel without neutering the realized gains. I do have 2x new 3” cats installed.

I would take my car to Fluidany day over any dealership !!!!

Depends on the failure imo .. head gasket ? Put a gasket on , lifters failure ? Fix it .. broke Piston or bottom end issues ? Swap

Good stuff! A lot to consider, but I bet the owner loves the lower RPM at highway speeds.

Yes!!!❤

Have you guys got any video’s up on turbo straight 6 exhausts? Would love to see what you can do on an RB or 2JZ! Would one of your megaphones work in this instance?

Let's face it, most dealers haven't a clue how to diagnose faults, let alone repair them. And warranty ? no chance, it's never their fault. There's little guarantee with anything these days. Governments should be creating tough legislation to force things to be easier to repair, and easier to diagnose. Second hand can be a huge gamble, as you can never know the history, mileage means sweet FA

I just spent 20k on a rb26 rebuild for it to last 3 dyno pulls. 😂

I had an a 6.0 lq4 engine in my '02 Silverado fail on me at 200,000 mi. I bought a used engine online and installed it myself and after a couple thousand miles it is still going good. I did replace a lot of the seals and did due diligence as well. It made it cheap enough to where it was still worth keeping the truck 👍

I put a Jasper remanufactured engine with a three year 100,000 mile warranty in my 1992 C4 Corvette with 268,000 miles on the original engine about five years ago. I am the original owner of the car. The car runs like new 32 years later. Great video OJ! You are super knowledgeable and have a very well thought out approach when diagnosing and recommending repair options. Keep up the great work. I am a big fan of your channel. I also am a fan of your collaboration videos with Alex from Legit street cars.🎉

I dont trust anything these days. I'd rather take it to a machine shop. Warranties are almost not worth dealing with. Like trying to deal with home warranty companies.

I am sure you are right, but buying a used engine can also be a bad decision? a friend of mine did buy a junk engine and only problems. Which would be the best decision? I am not sure, always preferred to get my engines completely rebuilt. I rebuild 2 Alfa engines, a 1965 Ford Mustang, a 1956 Cadilac sedan de ville, a 1987 Corvette, and a 1965 Corvette. ( Bolt and Nut restoration) Absolutely no issues, because I do have them take all the engines apart and send them to the machine shop then I have them replace basically all parts, minus the cams, and crank unless damaged, but maybe check and re-balanced. Am I just lucky? My Mechanic said if I need to repair the Engine from any of my Merc, to buy a junk engine. I am not comfortable with that myself.

Land Rover (just like Ford) circled the problem for you... it's in the name. Lol

👍

This ongoing issue you’re seeing at your shop is nothing new. My shop sees probably more engine problems than many shops do. We’ve been there; debated night and day what repair is most logical/cost effective for the customer, gotten burnt by throwing in used motors, by trying repairs ourselves, even by machine shops that offer a guarantee yet won’t back it up. We’re through with all that garbage. We’re in business to make money, and are done with ending up the victim. Bottom line is this: If the customer is dealing with a timing chain, head gasket or valve issue, (or anything in the “repairable in house” spectrum) we’ll be happy to help them out. If the oil is glittery, or there’s some other type of catastrophic-like failure, we recommend a crate motor. *Sorry to those who bought a European car, which a new motor can run you up to $__ ,000 but we didn’t buy the car, you did.* And if the customer really wants to put a junkyard motor in it, or if a new one isn’t available, we recommend this to our customers: Get rid of the car after the motor replacement, or face having that motor fail again. And if they show up at our doorstep with another blown motor even after being warned, they’ve been served. I know what you’re thinking: “If we don’t offer the cheapest solution, the customer will go to the shop down the street and get it done cheaper”. I say, let them do that. The shop down the street will either learn that there’s something wrong with this process, or they’ll be stuck being the poor sap that can’t book appointments because they’re replacing motor after motor and eating part of each job. Look at you, with 4 bays tied up. Just think of how much gravy you could’ve booked in during that time. Weight things out. You be the judge, and tell me what’s best for your business

This is so accurate! Keep up the videos. The content is not only highly accurate coming from personal experience but great info for most people that don’t know better. 👏

Who else is here because of Alex and LSC? Awesome job on the GT-R and the LS Porsche exhaust system. Literal works of art OJ!

One of my favorite cars, it’s beautiful imo

I believe Mercedes has a better reputation than most (all?) of the Euro brands when it comes to engines. Not to say they are perfect - not by any means. But if you shop wisely it's not too hard to get one that isn't a disaster. I am on my third with good results. My first was an 04 E55 with the legendary M113K. It was the oldest, cheapest and highest mileage of all my Mercedes so there's that. But it was also the leakiest, worst oil consumer and generally most finicky (loved it, though - totaled it in 2022). My 07 S550 is an earlier M273 but by serial number is not supposed to be affected by the defective timing chain idler gear. And the M273 is actually a fantastic engine. A friend just got an 09 CLK550 on eBay and man is it fast compared to my S550 with the same engine. Then there is my 14 E63S with the also-legendary M157. For a while the internet said these were perfect but that didn't last. They are known for a host of issues. That said, mine is a 14 which has some updates compared to early 11-12 models. As a result it is running just fine at 104k. So the moral is, shop wisely - don't buy very early examples of engines - and you can do just fine with most Mercedes products imo. My brother in law bought a higher mileage 2017 GLS550 with a later M278 that supposedly has iron cylinder liners. That thing runs perfect at like 135k.

What are your thoughts on the Mercedes M113 and M112?

Algorithm comment 👍

I had a 4.7 2UZ-FE that was in bad shape in my 2003 Land Cruiser, the previous owner had overheated the engine badly. I found a used engine in a same year, Toyota Sequoia, with 140,000 miles that had been in a wreck. I scored the engine for $600. I installed it myself, so my cost out of pocket was pretty low all in. I have 15,000 miles on that engine now since I installed it. The used engine was, luckily, in nice shape. The problem with used engines, is you need a little luck on you side and find a good one. My Land Cruiser runs mint now.

Just found your channel.very impressive Can't waitto see more good job

On my 2003 Mini Cooper (W11 engine) with 165k miles, one of the plastic coolant tees broke and I lost all my coolant while driving. I was going to rebuild it but as the parts costs kept adding up, I looked into an LKQ engine. I found one with 90k fewer miles for a reasonable price. When it arrived, I removed the valve cover to assess the condition of the engine. It looked good (clean), so I replaced all the seals and gaskets (except head gasket) and installed it. I also replaced every hose, tee and component where coolant flows (except heater core) while the engine was out. It’s been over 12k miles and 2 years now running well. Junk yard engines are definitely the way to go, just do due diligence before installing it.

3.6 pentastar are solid after you fix the rocker issue

Also....If your engine fails....all the oil cooler lines and the engine oil cooler must be replaced....in case metal shavings contaminated those things. If not a new engine will fail. So make sure your shop does that or u are asking for more issues.

It seems that a 3.4l V6 of Toyota as head gasket problems

Well my 2.5l Ford escape engine is doing ok.... But this transmission is trash!

My Best friend had a 5.3 ls engine fail in a chevy suburban at 80k. He bought a remanufactured engine through Advanced Auto Parts and had it professionally installed. That engine lasted 1000 miles. He got another engine under warranty installed. It failed in 120 miles. The engine manufacturer gave him the run around about needing to exam the engine etc. Six months later they gave him another engine, but he had to pay to have it installed again. He was without his Suburban for over a year and finally got a good engine. Sold it. He had more in the engines and installation than the suburban was worth. So even getting an engine from a nationally known rebuilder is no guarantee.

Comment for the algorithm

A true Wizard!

My 2000 323i M52B25TU overheated and lost compression in 4cyls. Junkyard replacement engine is only $400-$500! Which I still can't afford. Why are they so cheap?

Lets see how reliable those new engines running 0w8 oil are😂
