WHAT BROKE On My Sleeper's 700HP Turbo LS? *Knock* *knock*

- Today we tear into the Turbo LS that was making 700HP in my Volvo Sleeper. Yesterday we confirmed that it wasn't anything in the top end, so we had to pull the motor and tear it apart. The answer was disappointing. #TurboLS #Sleeper #RodKnock

I really like how gingium isn’t afraid to go fists deep in a motor he’s not super familiar with. Props to him.
That’s facts Total respect for you
Him **
If your a mechanic that enjoys working on cars you don’t get intimidated by something your not familiar with, you get excited. Can’t wait to see this thing in the 10s🤙
Putting the clock in the time lapse was actually pretty sick
The amount of stuff that could have broken if the timing gear came all the way off is nuts. I'm so happy for you that, that didn't happen.
Yeah! That would've been serious carnage
@@_Gingium_ you were one more trip away from total loss status 0.0
I wouldnt feel bad about pulling the whole thing apart, all things considered it could have been catastrophic in many ways, you have healthy heads, block, pistons, accesories, it'll just be an untimely upgrade
@@_Gingium_ you dodged a cannonball there homie
that happened to me... there was a hole in my timing cover
_What broke on my sleeper?_
*Axel: **_Your wallet!_*
Gap the rings while it's out
Gap everyone when it’s in 😈
You better gap those rings!!!! And a better oil pump, Im so stoked to see how fast the volvo will be :D
Honestly put a bigger cam in it since you’re replacing the lifters
Will definitely be doing that!
I haven't seen you actually say anything before until now, usually it's the updatelog posts, which are great btw
Hi Caleb, some points if I may..
1. You lifted that gearbox with your back - you *will* hurt yourself doing that, lift with your knees!
2. Take a look at Melling oil pumps - should give you a lot more flow (and by proxy, cooling!)
3. Stick with the positive attitude, stay strong, succeed :)
I used to be a trainer, but lifting with your kneed is also not the best lol. Performing some sort of deadlift would be optimal.
Doing the work in less than ideal conditions just proves that you really are about that life.
Also, it’s his job.
Gingium is the GOAT
CHECK THE THRUST SURFACE!!! it's located around the front and rear of the center main cap. also, had a buddy with a '03 z06, the cam gear to cam bolts backed out at 4800rpm, loctite those and the cam retainer plate w/ new seals going back together.
I feel like this channel is in a constant cycle of getting new project cars, finishing them, something breaking them, repairing them, and then rinse and repeat.
That's what real car guys deal with, its not sugar coated and fixed with infinite money like other youtube channels, I feel like with Ginguim we are all learning real helpful lessons.
You're right but for a lot of people that cycle is a passion.
Unfortunate the motor went so early, good knowing what the issue was though. Time for a stroker kit and turbo cam!
why do you need more displacement in a fucking 5.7l 😂
@@zecolmeia6708
a little more won't hurt 🤣
@@zecolmeia6708 No replacement for displacement. And besides, 383 sounds wayyyy better than 350
@@smithhawkins6331 🤦🏽♂️ why the 383 ls1 striker combo is ineffective compared to a 402 or a 413 saying he drops 13 grand for a short block
No replacement for displacement 😂 we built a 408ci stroker on my channel
In January of last year, I hit black ice in my ute and slid into another car in the ditch. I thought to myself while I was perpendicular to road and the back of a Toyota Avalon that this was going to be the death of my Subaru. It blew out my window and smashed up the whole driver's side of the car, but it wasn't totalled. I took my time and redid a lot of body work, and repainted the car a much better color. Now it looks substantial better than it ever did before and It only does it because of the crash. Situations like these can be really frustrating and depressing, but when have that mentality of that it happened for a reason then it can be the start of many great improvements.
Let's go 1000hp!
Was great meeting you brother glad we were some help. Can not wait to see this bad boy really whip. Really appreciate the shout out brother. Keep getting after it
Ryan, he might have spiders. Don't be afraid
@@samuelstephenson3535 listen old man
I'm sure you can't wait to get a shop, working outside in that rain just looks so miserable lol. Could be worse though at least you're not in a HOA.
I desperately want a shop. I've got so many good ideas that I can't implement until I get one!
Working on the driveway isn't too terrible actually. I just can't fab. 😔
@@_Gingium_ Had you considered renting the shop you previously showed us as an interim solution while you sort out something better? Then you wouldn't be sinking lots of money into it because it's just temporary.
Nothing better than working on my slow broken mustang while watching Gingium working on his fast broken Volvo lol
Broken car gang 🤘
I was working on my broken f150 yesterday as well. Just didn't get the notification till today 😂
Working on my slow broken sneakers and my slow broken bike with my slow broken internet on my slow broken phone
just went to the junkyard to grab a part for my slow broken Wrangler. exhaust manifolds are not fun to get in 85+ degree heat.
@@Wreck-it174 what kind of wrangler bud? I got a tj and a jk
caleb this is a gift from the gods. your car is already a monster and now you're literally being encouraged to build the snot out of it.
Gingium, I just wanna say I see you. I see you rocking it, working on the ground and still making amazing content, even though you don't currently have a lift and temperature controlled environment. Your doing great work man. Mad props.
Huuuuuge props to you for doing all this work in the rain and without a garage 👍🏼
I think we're all jealous at your skill and ability to teardown and rebuild an LS while being so calm and committed to keep going
Now would be a good time to use that heat blanket stuff you installed, on the firewall and transmission tunnel.
Sometimes in the end, things aren't always bad! This allowed you to find things unseen, and allow you to only better it further! I am glad you are still smiling after it all!
You by far are the most over looked youtuber. Your content is actually fun to watch and your so humble and doesn’t flaunt his money
In sweden we have an saying,
”Det är inte lätt när det är svårt” Meaning
”Its not easy when its hard”😊
Ajjämen
@@isaacsstuff45 hahaha 👌🏻
I like that
@@_Gingium_ of course you do its tje best saying for an mechanic
Eller som Gunde svan myntade - "ingenting är omöjligt" meaning "nothing is impossible". Sounds better in swedish...
Maybe another expression that fits this video better is "bra karl reder sig själv", meaning "a good man clears up himself".
When you working on the front suspension that will shave off time on the strip it’s bouncy as hell
The front struts definitely need replacing. The 240 doesn't need coilovers, new struts with higher rate springs and a stiffer shock would do.
man this was such advancement for me, i have no training nor degree but trying to follow an engine disassembly isnt that easy, youre amazing for doing everything yourself, keep it up dude
hats off to you for taking the whole situation in a positive way man!
keep up the good work
Love the honesty in this video of showing mistakes like dropping the engine, great video.
Invest in a load leveler. They make pulling and installing engines so much easier.
LOL bro that clock during the time lapse is like the classiest thing ever. Jumbo Guinness a good choice as well. Really sucks about the freak failure, but hey, you're now way more familiar with the LS!
That clock in the time laps was so satisfying
I'm glad you found the issue, it does suck that you tore everything out but it's better to be safe then sorry lol. Plus, you were already going to anyways. Now it's time to get to 10s. ;) Keep up with the good work bro! :)
I literally just watched your previous video, refreshed the page, and this popped up!
It looks so easy in this 15 mins of film but i know this is really hard work. Respect for you
Wow, keep up the good content baldium! Awesome video despite the unfortunate situation.
Trunion upgrade too needs to be done, so needle bearings from the rockers dont end up in the oil pan....!
Man I applaud you for keeping on pushing after moving. I’m sure it’s hard going backwards and not having a lift or work space. I haven’t had the Luxury yet so I feel your pain
In a way you became the second chrisfix now that you work in your driveway
Well I've been waiting for this day can't wait to see this volvo push 1000whp
Glad the problems not too serious 👍 Make sure to check the seal on the cam retaining plate when you upgrade the camshaft, if its flat it can cause oil pressure issues. I think they are pretty cheap if you need a new one.
All of your builds are so dope. I would love to be able to see your stuff in person. Keep up the great work! I enjoy all of your content!
My handle was missing, too. I took I picture of my parts to HF and they gave me one. I thankfully bought it on my account and I could pull up the receipt online. Don’t let them win!
Also, shorten up the chain on your hoist, you’ll get a higher lifting clearance to get over the core support easier. Just feed it up into the hoist a little more.
Watching you work outside gave me memories to your old old house when you did gaming and had the focus if i remember correctly
This is a blessing in disguise IMO, nothing really broke an the block is in 1 piece
I know things aren’t going great for you right now gingium, but things will get much better! You are just pushing through your challenges!
The moment you dropped that motor I was like nooooo get audrey for shit like this! But then again I‘d have done the same mistake. 😂😅
"that´s cuz your boy is a patreon ambassador, whatever the heck that means" 🤣
Pulling it was for the best. Tons of goodies to buy to really help see the full potential of the turbo kit. Longevity wise, oil pump, lifters, and head studs should help.
New ging video! We love to see it
Pro tip: loop the straps around your lifting points and hook the strap hooks onto the engine crane hook to keep it stable!
Gingium, it might be time to add more reliablility to the car. it doesn't matter what sort of power you're making, if you can get down the drag strip in one piece. My suggestion. Gap the rings like everyone is suggesting and fix the boat like front suspention. Fixing the front suspetion will help with time and adding more reliability will not only get you down the track faster but more efficiently.
Great to see you so positive Caleb 👍
Don’t sweat it. Good thing you went as far as you did before finding the real issue.
How bad would’ve it suck to “fix” the issue only to destroy your engine with the debris that was in there. Clean everything up, roll some new bearings in, gap the rings and go run the shit out of it!
Front Bumper of that Volvo, cold air, you should space it 2-3 inches forward to create an air gap, create an air intake to let cold air in and hot air out, cut holes behind that front bumper to let air in out, still keeping that sleeper look
Love your vids, vatched the whole volvo series in a week, rallye miata here i go :D
He says " why meeeee????!!" All I can picture is dudeinblue beating the brakes off that bad boiii 🤣
Kinda lucky you got it when you did, you are a very hard worker! keep it up
This situation is 100% relatable. Broken car, driveway, raining, shit falling
That motor was on borrowed time anyways with hose ungapped rings...Look at it this way...At least you still have a good block without gouged out cylinders from broken ringlands. Now you can build it properly for high boost and have WAY more fun!
You can put it back together with old bearings if you're comfortable with it. Stock main bolts are fine to reuse. Replace rod bolts. New cam, cam gear and bolts (with loctite), and send it.
Welcome to summer in the south Gingium! Rain ever day lmao
Impressive. I was afraid that you lost a finger when you dropped the block. Glad you are ok.
Good way to look at things man
Suggestion for the next time you have a weird unidentified sound, use a stethoscope, and locate it immediately. You probably would have gotten into the timing chain and fixed it up then and there. However I'm super pumped that the rest of the LS is in good shape.
Love your content. Also my name is also Caleb so, I'm yeah.
Now you can gap the rings and put new bearings and cam in it. Make sure you put new lifter trays in that motor, old ones can let the lifters spin in the trays and wreck the motor.
It makes me really happy to see parts sitting in the dirt
LETS GO JMR NATION!!!
Heck yeah bro get some.
@@JMRRebuilders get some bro
that same thing happened to my Miata... except my whole harmonic balancer fell off while driving because the bolts backed out. I later found out the weird feeling in the clutch was that harmonic balancer shaking. It's replaced now and all is well but man, never not using Loctite again.
Maximum respect for doing this DIY under a gazebo out in the weather! Surely your oil pressure was normal, so it would have kinda ruled out a main or conrod bearing issue?
ive been watching sense you built the drift truck and i love your videos
While you wait for engine stuff and things - good time to do some finishing work on your wiring / fuel line install in the rear!
Just replaced my LS. Man, get an LS Lift plate... Youll never have an issue with dropping a motor. I used the Dirty Dingo off amazon for around $35. Small Price to pay for no headaches.
Hey, it got you to tear apart the motor and gave you a chance to refresh things, that's good!
Gap the rings while you’re in there.
Gingium: "I don't know what I'm doing."
Me: You built an AWD Miata from a Subaru drivetrain, yourself.
Hay this means you can upgrade valves valve springs mabey port the head and get a nice big cam
the SBE made hella power and the dumbest thing happened to mess up dont beat yourself up your craftsmanship held up amazingly cant wait to see it run 10s easy
Always a silver lining when life goes balls deep,the Volvo will come back stronger!
I feel your pain. Had to drop my trans a couple months ago and sure enough the pressure plate is getting ready to shit itself. Really my entire engine and trans is tired, want new stuff before i break into it again
My mans needs @Milwaukee Tool to sponsor him some power tools to get this done a little faster.
It all has to come apart to be cleaned out properly so it was inevitable. Decent cam, new lifters, new timing kit, gap the rings, new gaskets, bearings (check the cam bearings). Pushrods aren't a bad plan either (you may need them depending on the cam you choose). ARP head studs would be a decent investment but failing that the ARP bolt kit is a fair bit cheaper & still a decent upgrade. If you're feeling really fruity a set of used gen 4 rods would be worth chucking in while you're there then you would be set.
Good thing you pulled it all apart. Metal in the bearings would have made the motor go soon enough anyway
Bro you are gonna put this thing back together and "accidentally " run 9's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gingium gettin swole af. Vin Diesel mode activated.
"Its depressing, having to take your car apart when you don't expect to have to."
Literally me 4 weeks ago pulling the engine out of my RX-7.
No, the apex seals are fine. The clutch pilot bearing disintegrated and the transmission would not go into gear with the engine running. I would just drop the trans, but between wanting to fix oil leaks and the driveshaft being rusted to the differential, it was easier to pull the engine on its own. (For context-ish, you HAVE to pull the motor to change the oil pan gasket on a first gen).
Due to work, its not back together yet, but I finally got the last part I need in the mail.
Dude massive respect for pulling an engine in a driveway.
Dude, get a chop! Although watching vids of you disassembling an LS in your front yard under a tarp is pretty entertaining lol
You can use a engine lift plate for carbureted intakes and bolt it to the Valley pan. I got mine at advance auto parts for $15
Tbh best that you took it out and went through it. Atleast now you'll know what's in it and you now know how to work on it. Always look at the plus when trying to find problems. Just think now you know
Two words: Engine leveler. Please purchase one. For all of us, baby.
Get the Torrin engine hoist from Tractor Supply if you can. It has casters on all wheels. Much better than the Harbor freight one. Also has a handle ;)
Life mentality
"It is, what it is, make do and move on"
if you wanna hear rod knock, check out my 1uz after i pegged it on the limiter with low oil lol. glad your bottom end is ok though.
Good news in knowing what it was though. Tough break.
You should get a motion race works lift plate, you just take off the valley cover and bolt it on its super handy
Really wanna see Gingium on Vinwiki, just for the exposure he's earned it.
You know what the problem is. It’s your fuel map; it’s got a nasty hole. That’s why you were unloading in third. We just need to increase the injector pulse a millisecond and tune the noss timers and you’ll run nines.
Really isn't to intensive of a process. I rebuilt my heads and replaced lifters while leaving the block in my Jeep Comanche. And that's a pretty tight fit in that engine bay too.
12:40 always the last thing you take off😂😂 he wouldn’t find what it was and keep on taking the engine apart when he doesn’t need to!
Idk if you set it before but when ya put it back together it’d be a good time to mark TDC so you can verify the timing in the software 🤘🏼
