Polo BAH engine rebuild
Переглядів 27 тис.3 роки тому
This is my wife's old car that broke down and has been standing for more than a year. It was overheating and burning oil. I finally got around to rebuilding the engine. This is a diy build and shows how I do it and not necessarily how it should be done.

  • @AugustDreamScape
    @AugustDreamScape Рік тому

    This isn't as complicated as it looks intimidating. This is the only car I would consider replacing the head gasket on. It's pretty user friendly & not allot in the way of getting to those point. Some engines have too much junk over the engine that you have to remove before you can even consider starting on removing the valve cover. This is EASY. But only for this car. Not sure about others.

      Definitely not as bad as I thought it would be. Ive been dreading this for almost a year now when I broke a spark plug in the head and the mechanic wanted about $7000 to remove the head and drill the plug out but it doesnt look too bad to do myself. A lot less work than my frontier's head gaskets. That was the stuff of nightmares.

      @@MrLildeg8you’re probably talking about your valve cover leaking the head gasket doesn’t get a “small leak” it blows due to heat and pressure and seeps coolant into your oil passages and destroys your engine by thinning out your oil until irreversible damage is done
