190E K Swap Project: The Ultimate Engine Bay Makeover
Why do you want to make the engine side mount removable? Build the engine side mount, bolt it to the block, than bolt the mount to the original Mercedes engine mount and call it done. Most likely you'll never need to remove it again.
I would not be able to take the mount of to finish weld it or paint it.
@PFDAuto lift the engine a bit
The bolt won't go in or out of that top hole at all.
good idea
Thanks
Shorter bolt.
I was also thinking a stud and nut
Really like how it's turning out
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Good job, those headlights came out really good. Big improvement
Thanks, I appreciate it!
My favorite part of a project is cleaning the shop and starting the next....
Myst be nice to have a shop lol
@PFDAuto sometimes lol
Thanks for this I know I’ll eventually go this route 😂
Yeah I tried to do it myself but the learning curve is tough and I just didn't have the time.
Depending on your state. I’m actually looking for those wheels
they are pretty beat but I am in TX and would love to seel them.
Unfortunately wish you were closer I’m in NY and was hoping you’d be in the NJ PA area. Anyhow. Looking forward to more content
@@LFCsince93 too bad, and thanks!
I guess glks are not as cool as k swapped 190es
😆
At least the Rio looks good. lol
Lol thanks
Its got spec miata wheels on it
@@PFDAuto Mine had TE37 reps and I imported the first set of Rio coilovers in the US. Kinda miss mine.
@@jayinmi3706 nice. yeah i will say it was not a poor financial decisions lol
@@jayinmi3706 they are a great car for the money.
Had to skip ahead of the continuity time line cause I woke up and read / saw we're fabricating swords....
Well that is what I ended up with at least. Lol
Easy to watch for content.
Thanks!
Big project for one man. Great job the whole way so far!
Thanks a ton!
Only thing the channel needs is a segway to a mancave and a episode breakdown.
Yeah don't have a man cave sorry.
Best channel for a k swap... lol
Title changing is s great idea
Someone said I should put the car name i. It lol. It does seem to be working.
Good stuff, I'm kswapping my 240z. Have you dealt with the rust above the pedal box? Also have you thought about going DBW instead of cable? The Kmiata guys have the knowledge and parts to help with any kswaps. Looking forward to future vids! (I gotta watch all the previous ones too haha)
Thanks I appreciate it. No rust on the car anywhere luckily. Pedal will be down. Going haltech with the kpower harness. Not sure on the pedal yet but I already have the intake, adapter and 74mm tb.
Just subscribed to your channel I'll check it out soon.
Wth
Right
Goog job😎
Thanks!
Oh no!
Handled
When you open a quest and it's longer than you expected.
Lol right
That fashion drip really looks good. Title... TWSS
Are you in jest or taking about the pfd gear?
Instructions are just sober friends with no arms
You don't say lol
It looked beautiful. Bummer
New one looks the same just a smaller plate.
A grinder goes a long way when metal needs shaved away
It sure does. I was told that I should not be using it on aluminum though
Goog job
Thanks
Whens home depot sponsorship starting from all these bucket placements
Lol i use then like shopping carts.
The sun sets to rise again tomorrow....
The end was a cliff hanger
How so
Scary watching that mallet hit a transmission
Why's thar. I'm not that strong lol
Love to watch the progess.
Thanks
Lol that seam job is straight from factory
Yeah I wouldn't go that far but not bad for having no clue what I was doing lol
Spraying is a satisfying end of the day, cant wait to see it painted
It's all rattle can so....
Leads good for you!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot.
Sick set up
Thanks
Short stuggles are small gains, long struggles and real pain usually have good rewards
👍
We watch it for the hold music
Lol
Put car make and model in title of the video
Yeah? You think that will help?
good job
Thanks
Finally done
Wood block and some sand paper to clean the glue
Luckily it's all done now.
Shout out to harbor frieght
Borrowed from the neighbor but yeah lol
😀
Your gonna have to put a oil drain bolt on the other side because of how the oil pan is leaning. That pan is ment for the stock kseries lean instead of the 0 degree lean.
I'll have to look at that. It is for the e30 rwd so I just assumed. I normally use an extractor though so... we will see how it goes.
What is the year make and model? Engine? Etc...
It's a 1992 mercedes 190e with an 08 tsx k24a engine and a 98bmw 328i zf transmission
Instead of painting the block, I'd have have put that effort and money doing the timing chain replacement. these are notorious for chain stretch.
I'm doing chain, guides, tensioner and all the seal
The engine came out looking clean! I can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks man. appreciate it.
Nice 👍 👍 👍
Thanks!
No way thats 50,000. More like 250,000 atleast the seller gonna try tho. If not ya got the Ebay money back garantee in your favor
Yeah they tried. the next one I got though. Let's just say I'm trying a new seller.
That very well could be 50,000 miles along with 50,000 mile factory oil and filter.
@@infinity3jif that is what I think happened, or didn't lol
