The Junkyard Wars/Scrapheap Challenge enthusiast in me wants to see you put this in a boat.
donut boatstuff would be rad beyond belief.
Scrapheap challenge was awesome wasn't it
@@jamescharlesworth775 I really wish there was a place to watch it legally outside the UK.
BOATS ARE PAIN ❤
Kinda like those long Thai boats, just slap a engine in the back of the boat and call it a day.
It's nice to see an old married couple who still make life work
The Bromance is real!
That I agree on
Lmao😂
😂😂👍🏻
yeah, its a nice change for once
I love the "I'm a race car driver now I don't do regular work" attitude when Jeremiah first walks in.
That whole first day he seemed like he didn't want to be there!
this is why this chanel has made it this far and has more to come. they have an idea, take action, face defeat, get back up, take a new angle, try again and follow through, making enjoyable and educational content along the way. this team is amazing so glad yall do what you do.
Unfortunately they went all in on the wild card if they did 1 or 2 episodic videos like history or science so we all could look forward to the next one instead of sifting through niche stuff. Love donut and have since the start but finding it harder to spend time on these videos with shots in the dark.
I wish donut made a far longer video of this rebuild.
IKR? like, they put in the work, why not actually show more of it? my guess is they're thinking shorter videos for higher retention.
I agree, this could've been a 45mins video and we all would've really enjoyed it
They could totally have a separate channel detailing the work for all the wrench heads who want to do something similar. It's almost the same footage right?
@jbphilly1234 not necessarily. They could mark it as educational. Educational videos usually get a higher pay per view. Or post it on a second channel
I would happily modify a car on camera for donut.
@@MrSatchelpack yes exactly what I was thinking
Episode idea: Do an engine rebuild with only cheap weekend warrior tools and show where good tools would have made things better.
I love to think that entire episode would be just them losing socket bits every time they try and it’s hilarious
They only get use the Walmart $30 special tool kit. 😂
@SonicProvocateur Many years ago, when I was young and hungry, I pulled off a lot of fixes with little else beyond a cheap socket set and a few crescent wrenches. Never underestimate the guy with more determination and time than money.
Yall are paying for tools??
Yeah, not that impressive if you have hands and not meat sticks to work with... basically rebuilt my 5.9 Magnum with a 50$ ratchet kit, a BFH and a 3' helper bar...
It's getting torn down today since the truck gets lifted/SAS/4-linked with an exo cage. That's 4 years and 28000 on here and other than the infamous plenum leak it all looks perfect still.
I love the back n forth banter between these 2
But Zach's silent scream as he walks away from getting his ankle demolished had me dying @ 5:18
I love this bc I’ve been praying for Honda content ever since watching the channel. And this engine rebuild helps me out a ton for my own learning and hopefully building
Jeremiah walking in and starting beef is so funny
Very much a younger brother energy
He's that younger brother u just wanna smack and tell him don't touch anything cuz you'll break it
Me with my siblings
@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBrolmfao my younger brothers are angels, that’s somethin I would do to them
Quote of the day "Whatever it's a honda"😂
You know what else is tight? That got me good
That leg bit was so outta pocket, I love it.
As a student in school for diesel tech, I actually had to do this with an international D466 we did have the torque specs and the specs for the valve lash, but that's the only things we used the manual for. It took my group about 11 weeks to get our engine apart, put back together, and have it run. It was a cool process and I recommend it for anyone who has the time and money and wants to learn all the ins and outs of an engine
11 weeks? It took mine 4 weeks to rebuild a: 6.4 Powerstroke, MX13, DD15, ISX Cummins, and a 400 Big Cam Cummins. We were there for four hours a day. What the actual fuck took y'all so long on a nearly fully mechanical 30-50 year old engine?
@@tommyellis7728being in school and having to do assignments along with rebuilding the engine, good for you for doing all that but a lack of experience and doing it in school and having to do assignments and learn it all took time
Jeremiah is a menace to society
He gave it the beans! 🫘
Florida Man
Jeremiah must be stopped at any and all cost.
I've always been suspicious since that restomod Camaro video where he tried to channel James. He doesn't have his own brain.
Good to see that Sandro vibe. XD
It would be epic to make the Chang Li a hybrid!!
Please Donut! Do iiit!
I agree! Do it, Donut!
Came to say the same!!!
I agree!
Team chang li
I love the chill vibe of this episode. Reminds me of hanging at the skatepark with the boys back in the day. Gaaaahd I'm old now
If y’all could release all the footage of the build to the channel that would be sick!
Respect for how smart they really are, all fun in games but lads got real skills.
its easy to forget that ones an engineer and the other a mechanic because they're both so goofy
Jeremiah? (In the red) I think worked at ECS doing stuff with parts and installing instructions. He knows a ton.
fun and games.
I looked up Jeremiah and he has his mechanical engineering degree from university of Florida and a masters in biomedical engineering from UF. He’s worked in aerospace and stem cell research!
It's about time you two got back together! I miss watching Jerry and Jobey's hilariousness!
With no instructions: has a whole team of actually qualified mechanics
Jerry and Jobe are the 2 funniest dudes to put together from Donut lmao
"How hard could it be?" Famous last words of the Donut team 😂 another great video!
That would be the ultimate Donut T shirt saying
They're really turning into Top Gear😂
Always my favorite Donut Duo 😭😂
I refuse to believe these two aren't siblings
That was a fun idea! Very cool episode, I laughed a lot. Thanks!
“Take it apart and put it back together”
Well that sums up donut! 😂
what else are you gonna do? ;-)
If you have ever wondered what it's like to work on a car with your buddy, this is a perfect example lol great video
I laughed out loud at your antics. It is great that the engine survived.
"Whatever, it's a Honda" felt that
That was cool. I give it 3 brownies. You need to put that engine in a golf cart, preferably a Yamaha. They have the chassis to hold it. Thank you for your time.
good idea
That sounds both awesome and like a quick trip to the ER lol. A golfcart and a SxS are NOT the same thing lol. Thinkin about all the GrindHard projects, they ALL require(d) notable reinforcement, steering/suspension geometry changes...
Yamaha's have "A" arm suspension and upgrades are available. 3" wheel extensions are helpful and coilovers. I'm old and don't have that much to lose. My pit cart does 65 MPH.@@superrad1659
If a golf cart can handle Trump's ass, it can support a Honda engine.
That headline sounds ominous! Sounds like it's gonna be a scary episode!
I like when my morning UA-cam makes me scared
It's giving buzzfeed unsolved a run for its money
@@kittytiddy7607It's evening for me
I love Jeremiah's chaotic energy
Man I was really expecting the editor to throw a little clip of them smashing the oil-pan on there after Jerry pointed out the oil leak lol
More Zach and Jeremiah build videos. Great content to watch two guys that know what they’re doing tackle a peoject
Hey, you know what would be pretty sick ? To try to build a go-kart with an engine such as this one, kinda like the guys from Grind Hard Plumbing Co are doing
Find a old Honda Odyssey and do that, would be a great combo!
the first five minutes are filled with so many things that make me tense up its unreal. i love it
Had a class in high school where we took apart and reassembled a lawnmower engine. That was simple enough for me to understand. Can't imagine trying to do a multi-cylinder engine, especially blind.
Koenigsegg not even being mentioned he is a crime.
Nice job! It sounded pretty weird to me, but I'm guessing that is because it had not exhaust on it. I wouldn't have a clue on any of those torque specs, so you guy are killing it.
well, its a Honda w/no exhaust, so naturally it's tone will be that of audible dookie lol. But you can listen to the firing of the engine... once its going it has a pretty steady pulse to it. If the timing was off it would have a rougher, more unbalanced purr to it.
Yeah it’ll definitely sound weird without the exhaust, and microphones are not great at picking up how the actual engine sounds.
Every Honda I've heard without exhaust sound like a bubble machine
@@nickgir exactly my point lol. I used to work w/a cat that had 4g Prelude, open headers... One of the most obnoxious cars ever lol. We were doin pulls after work 1 night, "play" racing lol, and passed a cop... He (Prelude) was in the opposite lane n got behind me (cuz my TT was faster 😁), cop pulled him over, I kept going... Cop accused him of "streetracing", Coworker said he was only trying to pass "somebody" going under the speedlimit, and that it only SOUNDED like his car was going fast 😂 I dont remember if he got out of it or not, I wanna say he just got a speeding ticket.
sounds like a mower unironically haha
I rebuilt my EJ25 having never did this myself before. I also port/polished the heads and added headstuds. I too afraid the pull the pin on the timing tensioner though. It just sits in my living room, in a corner on a stand. At least my wife is cool with it. The ‘98 forester with 98k original miles is just sitting out back in the yard. I weedeat around it at least.
“Where does that go””some where” is the most real backyard mechanic thing ever said, as someone who’s said that before 😅😂
Bolt torques are really important for a good long-lasting engine. But I stripped and rebuilt my corolla's 1971 engine when I was 16 without even knowing what a torque wrench was for. And it ran for almost a year, until I blew a piston and decided to buy a crate replacement. Just to get an engine started and run for a while you can forget about torque, as long as the bolts aren't actually loose and the head is properly tight on the gasket, it will start and run just fine.
I would love seeing you guys trying with the VQ engines of the 350Z 🤣
D series, d16 was the first engine I ever rebuilt, it's so simple and taught me all the basics I loved it, good times
Jeremy Clarkson: "How hard can it be?"
Richard Hammond: "DON'T SAY THAT!"
I think in the future, it would be cool to post the correct torque next to the guessed torque to see how far they were.
They did. 9:20
Reusing old engine bolts (and then overtorquing them) seems like a great way to cause catastrophic engine failure at some random time in the furure.
Shouldn’t be an issue as long as the threads are in good shape you can tell if a bolt was stretched.
I don't think they'll be reusing this engine....soooo
Whatever, it's a Honda 😂
Go checkout a sloppy LS rebuild lol
The lack of assembly lube and all around basic procedures is both hilarious and terrifying
i feel like doctors treat us like this engine when we’re knocked out
Instead of being some sort of "challenge" episode, i honestly wish they took the opportunity to make this a money pit episode and showed strategies you could use when reassembling something without instructions.
If you're working on a make of car thats not that well documented its extremely common to do things without any instructions of any form
what you should do is not assemble something without instructions. they don’t plan on using the engine for anything so they wouldn’t be losing anything if they fucked it up
@@misseselise3864 I've assembled an engine with instructions from a similar family of vehicle, which is definitely a strategy, just taking note of changes ( very common with Volkswagens that engine share)
@@misseselise3864 the last 30 seconds beg to differ
@@TheRealSykx its a 12 minute video the last 30 seconds aren't that enticing for watching all of it
IMO the takeaway is that torque specs aren't as critical as people think. Most of torque specs is to ensure bolts aren't literally jiggling loose nor so tight they snap off. Torque specs are literally just tested values that worked during the R&D phase and they have techs use to ensure failures weren't due to faulty assembly. Someone that has put enough things together to know the feel of a well tightened bolt could probably successfully rebuild an engine without even a torque wrench and have it run just fine. In fact, people will do that all the time during a rush repair right before a race when they don't have time to setup torque wrenches and look up specs.
OK, this was a brilliant video. Great chemistry, fun idea, excellent execution! Super fun to watch!
I'm not a honda expert on anything besides my own but doing rod bearings on my J35z2 taught me a few things. Right away the lack of an angle torque spec was a little worrying, cause the rod caps for my engine was 35ftlbs and then 90 degrees. Head bolts were worse, that I believe was a two step lbft sequence of like 45 and then 80 and after that it was 3 rounds of 90 degrees in the sequence, I was very tired after that and I was just changing out cylinder 6's piston with cylinder 3 from my first engine. (After doing rod bearings my engine went on to run another 20 minutes, I blame myself for not using assembly lube on literally anything even though I bought a tube of it. I have since swapped a third j35z2, this one being out of a 2014 RDX, into my crosstour, got about 1800 miles on it so far)
Love this style of video. The duo is back
This is my favorite car channel. You guys are the ones that got me into all this and I owe you guys so much❤️❤️ I love you guys.
Put it in a motorcycle, I’ve always wondered if putting a slow 90hp car engine in a bike would make it super fast, and if it’s even possible!
YESSS!!
Yea I’d wanna see that
The lowest power a new Honda CBR600RR has ever had is 97.7HP wheel and the CBR1000RR is currently 214 bhp crank if that answers your question?
@@mycosystrue, just wondering if a slow car engine could make a super fast bike
@@Kiluajohnson2too heavy, there is a bike they stuffed a viper engine into it is the heaviest bike ever.
With no instructions? Ah yes the Mat Armstrong way. 😂
these guys are the best donut duo
I need to try doing this if i ever get my hands on an extra engine that i dont need. Doubt that will ever happen but i'm intrigued to see how i'd do with zero instructions. 😂
practice with a lawnmower/pitbike engine, you can prob pick one up for free if you search the classifieds.
You can do a practice run in "My Summer Car" 😂
@@marcelpursche5339 Was literally about to comment that. lol
Grab one from a junkyard man!
Hey Donut, been a big fan of your channel I absolutely love that you are doing some things that I thought would be impossible, but you guys make it possible, love the new content that you post on UA-cam.
When Jerry said everything looks fine I was like it’s going to explode
When he was smacking the valve cover, all I could hear was the percolator beat😂😂
You guys should definitely put the old civic motor in the Chang Li truck!
Absolutely, it would make that truck so much more useful.
Never been so anxious watching someone torque a wrench lol
This is the stuff I subscribed for, a whole lot of hold my beet n watch THIS!
My Summer Car taught me more about engine rebuilds than I realize...
Day 394 of asking James to do an Up to Speed on his Dad
even the PLUGG is dope cant skip it
I haven’t watched the video but I just came to comment that they’d better have given y’all a FAT raise.. All engines are different and require different specs among millions of other things.. Being a mechanic consist of always learning something new
We need more of this
Should make this a Series. Taking apart cars just to put them back together slowly. Making the Frankenstein for cars.
best part of video: the way jerry says "she sounds great" at the end lol
I wish you all had made a more comprehensive video of this build. But just the same, I snorted out with laughter quite a few times. Loverly video gentlemen!
I absolutely love this video i love Jeremiah struggling on the engine 😭
I did the exact same thing in putting back a international scout model 80
Back together with all the screws gone and several parts lost. I feel for these guys
“How hard could it be?”
Summoning the ghosts of Clarkson, Hammond, and May, are we?
That baby sounds like a diesel powered typewriter at Ernest Hemingways house on a cold morning.
"How hard could it be" should be a series
Rebuilding a motor only using internet car form info would be pretty entertaining
The boys say "How hard could it be?" and all I can hear is Richard Hammond shouting "Don't say that!"
6:20 this was the best thing ever. Farts are a classic!
Yess!!! Please do more engine tear downs if possible
Honda is the only company that you can rebuild their engines wrong and still make more power
I love my 95 civic with my d15b7, this is just what I needed after a long day at work !
That fart was too perfect 😂
Anyone else’s dogs trip out from the beeping from the torque wrench?😂
The Honda master tech that’s watching this video is probably screaming rn
The fact you run a certified tire ad on your own video is crazy 😂💵
Putting the engine in a boat would be cool. Lmao kinda feels like Jeremiah just came to out to the shop to torment Zach. “You know what’s tight?” *farts*
That 2nd fart made me laugh uncontrollably
06:00 Reminds me of a picture I have of a colleague eating noodles over Doviziosos 3 Million Dollar Moto GP Bike 🤣💀
Damn which year is it?
I love it when you guys make videos on what NOT to do to your car
These guys make a great team.
6:11 The look at Zach's face just says "I really left ECS Tuning for this..." 😂
Jer with you know what's tight (Fart) 😂
Someone's gotta be the mature one around here and it ain't me.
Classic 😂
Can't wait to see the episode where they fix the timing before putting it in a boat.
Jobe is hilarious when he's angry lmaoo.
man who knew it could only take 11 minutes to fully put an engine back together.
Here's a really good tip to keep in mind about your vehicle:
If you have white smoke coming out of your vehicle's exhaust, you're likely either burning coolant and have a blown head gasket or you have fuel in your oil, which indicates leaking fuel injectors. So, before you bring your car to a mechanic to fix the white exhaust smoke problem, check your coolant level and the smell of your oil! If the oil smells like fuel, you got leaking fuel injectors. If the coolant level is low, but there's no coolant leaks, you got a blown head gasket! Now you know!🙂
sounds like a landmower😂 great video👍🏼
529k+ people: watching Donuts new video
Jeramiah: *farting*
Put that engine in the absolutely smallest boat that can fit it.
