Scotty Kilmer hey Scotty I really like your videos. Can I ask what year is the black Celica? 1992???
is that really all? I mean, if you order a car engine, is it ok to assume it's basically ready for it to be bolted in and started? You don't need to adjust the timing or anything?
Scotty Kilmer Engine Hoist***
Scotty kilmer for president. Keep making these no-nonsense videos and i will keep watching them in sunny England. Really like your channel.
Where can I buy #8?
I don't bother locking up my car at night. I just remove the engine before I go to bed.
LOL
Sonny Latchstring hell yea 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol dude why you do dis
Sonny Latchstring you must be an expert by now
I know. This looks easier than rolling up the windows and locking the doors.
Scotty: "today ill show you how to replace your engine"
Me: o cool ive been waiting for this video for a long time
Scotty:" take out your old engine put a new one in" now you know how to replace your engine!"
Me: 😃
*blink* *blink* .... *crickets*
LMAO! Yep, pretty much. Heck, I went to the kitchen for a snack just to enjoy this... when I came back, it was on the third video after this one already, lol!
TortureBot hahaha you had me dying
@@Siknik64 those crickets got ate by 210 frogs dude.
Hahahaha no kidding
How to swap engine: do it
thanks Scotty lol
Lol yeah
Step 1: Remove old engine
Step 2: Put new engine in
Step 3: done
tjv323 easiest tutorial ever.
Yes, I can't make politicians stop B.S.ing
And we never will. Crooked bastards.
I think Scotty posted this as a semi joke video haha
Looks like changing the engine is easier then changing the oil, new motor every 10,000 miles
ohh man you made me laugh so much
Lol best comment ever
New fave comment ever
make sure to change your engine every 3 or 4 miles
@@austrinivanderfanly745 I don't care what they suggest, I change mine every 3 or 4 and never have engine problems
"Today is your lucky day". If you need a new engine it is most definitely not your lucky day.
+Quentin Smith yes, but if you do as I do with a used Japanese engine it will save you many thousands.
+Scotty Kilmer b..but American diesel power though!
+Scotty Kilmer were u located ?
+Quentin Smith he he he
haha, good point. but really that just depends on your point of view! i like it when things break - i get to take them apart!
wow replaced engine in 2min video, I spent 1 hour just to get one rusted bolt off
Seventh Universe 😆😭
Seriously!
Fire Hawk You don't know the struggle, those manifold and starter bolts are devils.
Holiofuck i just saw you on ifunny earlier today
😂
this is why Scotty is the best mechanic in the world.
he can put a new engine in a car in less than 2 minutes lol
Yol Well, the world record is 40 seconds or so...so he has a way to go.
Although that was done by like 6 guys, so scotty is pretty impressive.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@shabutir1820 6 Scotties would be...12 seconds?
This is so great, started this job 9 years ago when the video came out and just finished. Totally worth the thousand bucks I saved, only cost me the 9 years and a marriage
No fr I made the mistake of doing an engine swap with almost no experience last august. It’s February now and I’m finally finishing LMAO
Just don’t swap your wife for another!
You can thank Scotty, because your wife would have been 9 years older. The wall remains undefeated.
I like your show and all scotty but this was like the haynes manual of engine replacements in video form.
1. Open hood
2. Replace engine
3. Close hood
it's quite a bit more than that, and anyway, it's just a basic video showing that guys can actually do it themselves with some rather inexpensive tools if they really want to
It's not the most complicated procedure. Literally disconnect/unbolt anything that connects to the engine/obstructs it, pull it out, replace the engine and reconnect everything. It's better to look up the specific procedure for a certain part that you're having trouble removing, like how to remove an exhaust manifold or a throttle body.
+jm8881 For Haynes it'd be more like, 1. Open hood 2. Remove engine, then "installation is the reverse of removal."
Brilliant!
Hey Scotty . I did the same thing to my 72' - Chevrolet pick-up
Took out motor and transmission by myself. No help from anyone and put everything back in .
Replacing an engine in 2 min
It's about how much time it takes when you're used to it, when cars get stolen, the junkyard already got them stripped in like 3 hours
Yes, but they would work as a team, not one person lifting out an engine not much larger than the one on my lawn mower.
they use the Victor wrench!
absolutely useless video. He only made it for the views.
Replacing an engine in two minutes
Yes he is the most interesting man in the world
No but really can you imagine changing engine in just two minutes
Like woah. Mind boggling
It’s easier to try and figure out the time space continuum
Just swapped the motor in my son's 94 S-10. It took me 3 minutes and eleven seconds. A minute longer than Scotty. Granted, I did take a break to drink a beer. ;)
Chris Norton I forgot to laugh.
😂
Step up your game.
Basically this whole video.. How to change an engine:
Step one: remove old engine
Step 2: put in new engine
Done
Ah yes just a couple bolts and its out...NOT! lol
+asdf taking a engine out isnt really complicated but I had to laugh at a less than 2 minute advice video on taking an engine out
And no mention, of course, of disconnecting the engine from the transmission. Or engine mounts. Or power steering. Or A/C. Or radiator hoses and fans. Or alternators. Or starters. Or wiring. Or vacuum lines.
Yeah, just take the intake and exhaust manifolds off and boom. None of that other stuff could possibly be important.
+O Ocalhoun egg zaktly
+O Ocalhoun you make it sound so hard...
O Ocalhoun lol nah who needs all that anyways right😂😂
god bless harbor freight tools
Chris Craft your profile picture is creepy
zhbvenkhoReload have you seen yours?
it's a harbor freight picture
Horrible freight
Red Pilled china freight
reminds me of Haynes manuals: 1. disconnect negative terminal from battery
2. remove electrical connections
3. disconnect cooling system
4. disconnect fuel system
5. remove engine...
installation is reverse of removal...
"If you need a heart transplant, today is your lucky day!" Said no one. Ever.
Meh... Should take around 2 minutes
1. remove heart
2. replace heart
3. reinstall connections
4 close chest lol😂
If you need to change the engine in your vehicle then todays your lucky day! lol 😂😅
Sikunt Comedy 😄
i took the exhaust manifold and intake manifold off and connected my hoist to the engine, but it won't lift out i did exactly what you said scotty
Crank harder!
this is the funniest comment on this video😂
Did you disconnect the hub from the fuel tank or did you have AAA do it for you? Lmao
Did you try turning off the headlight?
Check the tire pressure.
Wow, how to change an engine in 2:11, I'll get right on it!
haha....I was thinking the same thing!
On point sir. Scotty need to put more details in his videos
The Haynes manual way.
Disconnect negative battery terminal
Remove mounts
Lift motor from vehicle
Because with Haynes everything else is already disconnected
lmao
lmfao
Wow, how in depth and informative! I'm gonna go change my engine right now! Thanks! :/
this was probably his most anticlimactic video lol
this is America we all have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He must do it this way
Well once you realize all cars have the same things just different sizes and shapes, it gets real easy when you get down to it. The more you do it, the more you learn, the more you learn the easier it gets. Heck you can do most jobs in a driveway with a jack and a 40$ tool set from harbor freight
Dog Groomer where do you buy a new engine tho
Dragon King you could get a remanufactured engine at parts stores like Nappa or autozone but the cheapest place to get an engine would be getting a used one from a salvage yard
Only Scotty can remove an engine in a two minute video 😂
Not gonna remove motor mounts, transmission, or driveshaft?
Bmw M3 e46 nope you just take off the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold and you crank it.
I think that only applies if you want to make your fwd car into rwd or convert a automatic transmission to manual transmission
Driveshaft is connected to the tranny, not the engine...but motor mounts most definitely.
nope lol
@@Cicada-eg4pw forgot he was doing it to a fwd not a rwd
2 min engine replacement hey I love this guy
Those don't count he is a pro
*****
of course this is a generic video touching the major points of changing an engine, a full video would be so freaking long and boring no one would watch it but nerds.
Scotty Kilmer hey ! I'm a nerd!
Yeah, except the over 4 million nerds that tune into chrisfix's videos who actually want a decent in depth view of how to fix their cars, unlike you who makes everyone think that REPLACING AN ENGINE can be done in two minutes.
@@acdc6601 stfu scotty is the goat
Scotty broke a sweat in this one! Dig the videos! I always watch 'em before I start a project. Educational and motivational!
They aren't held in by wizard magic, They are usually attached by only a handful of bolts. The rest is hoses and cables. If you have seen a heavy car crash the engine often just breaks off the mounts and comes clear of the car. If you rev it you can see the whole thing flex about, theres obviously more than this but its not outrageously difficult. An engine jack and a socket set maybe a breaker bar you can get one out, also a torque wrench to get one back in. But its not rocket science, its like unbolting anything else its just daunting because it looks so heavy and tight.
It's internal combustion engine science.
-Get a new engine
-take out the old one
-install the new one... simple job
It's not that easy as shown in the video. You have to disconnect wiring, engine foundations, hoses and bunch of other stuff. And reach those tight spots for unbolting is pain in the ass.
Hi Scotty ! I´ve followed all your instructions and now my cat is inside the bell housing and I hear a funny sound when I crank the engine, any advice? Tnks
in this case, it sat on a jack partially and partially on part of the sub frame
@fullvibe87 A big video on changing an engine would be WAAY beyond youtube's time and space limits as I shoot with an HD camera. I just made this one to show people it's possible to do engine swaps themselves with little money. Soctty
Scotty YOU ARE HELPING OUT A YOUNG GIRL SOON TO BE EXPERT ON FIXING HER OWN 95 gmcsierra 💅🏻💅🏻 i learned how to do my own oil change, change my power steering fluid, clean my bay, locate my oil leak, and I STILL HAVE TO DO ALOT MORE ON THIS BABY!
realize if it's different than the motor in it now you will need sensor changing, wiring changing, and computer changing. But if it's the same, everything fits on right
Replacing engine is a nasty job. Scotty may have done it thousand times but for average folks it's too much. But thanks for sharing...
yep, either trigger a heart attack or lose a finger trying.
not simple or 'safe' for most.
Hi scotty. Question i have is would it be easier to replace valve lifters in a 2003 ford explorer xlt 4.0 or replace the entire engine? Car knocks continuously but still drives fine. Engine only has 130000 miles on it.
depends on the noise of course. remove the fan belts and run it, pray the noise goes away and it's something the belt drives. If not, engine has serious internal damage
So to recap.. To take an engine out.
Step 1. take the engine out
To put it back together
Step 1. Put it back in
I laughed harder than I should have at this
@alistairstuart2009 anything's possible, but diesel swap would be insanely complex.. Same thing with a bigger engine, it would be complex and require a new transmission and tons of other stuff.
Check engine light comes on after changing the engine.
Only Scotty Kilmer can make a video about completely replacing an engine in just over 2 minutes.
him and jesus lol
"How to perform a heart replacement surgery, step one cut them open and pull the heart out, step 2 put the new heart in and youre done!"
Wow that looks easy, im gonna put an LS3 V8 in my focus now. By the way, if I put the engine in the trunk does it become RWD?
😂😂😆
Hi scotty i hope you are all well.
I have vw golf 1.6 2002 automatic.
Engine is gone.
Is it difficult to change automatic engine or its the same procedure as manual engine ? And also should i take out the engine with the transmission or just the engine out ?
Help please
would i be able to take the engine out with the intake manifold still on on a 1989 toyota camry? its the 4 cyl.
You make look easier than easy
Replacing an actual engine is like the 10 hours of compulsory reading on course material and this video is the one page of a slide show that the prof spends on talking about said content.
scotty, my mitsubishi galant 2004 V4 is overheating, i want to swap the engine with honda accord. do you think it is possible?
Hey Scotty. I've got a 08 dodge Dakota with a blown engine 5.2l. A friend offered to give me a v6 out of a Dakota he had laying around. I was wondering if the engine would bolt up to the old v8 transmission. And if it does what would I have to do with the ecu. Should I use the one from the v6 or keep the one for the v8. I've looked online and can't find anything I could understand.
just take undo one bolt, and now your ready to pull your engine :) lol jk
Remember to grease up you one engine bolt.
How hard would this be for some one who has very little experience working on cars?
it's a big job, but really, I've seen teenagers do it on a weekend
+Scotty Kilmer Do you find replacing an engine easier than replacing a clutch?
Tyler Eriksen I guess, it is easy if you know what you are doing.
How about you do it, and tell us how long it takes? That way, you know how long it would take, and, now you swapped an engine. Win win
Just go to a godamn mechanic and save yourself the headache
Hi Scotty recently my engine locked due to low oil pressure that I didn’t get to change. The car is a 2015 Kia Optima. It this worth putting another engine in ?
I have an 04 alero can I put a better engine in it or would I have to modify everything in my engine bay I want a better engine
I bet you can't move the engine even a bit before you remove the engine mount and disconnect the transmission.
Replacing an engine less than three minutes. Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Hey Scotty me and my buddy are doing a engine swap on my 2005 Honda Civic. Would it be just as easy to drop the engine from the bottom as taking it out from the top? Knowing its a little 1.7L
Hey Scotty I have a 77 Camaro type lt that I'm fixing. I bought a 454 Chevy engine which I'm hoping to replace the old Camaro engine with. Do you have any advice that would be great! Thank you
I love harbor freight
Ahh, the good old 4A-FE engine.
Hey so can I do the same for a 94 Daihatsu Charade , but put a evo engine in, would I need to change the computer and etc?
Scotty is it true that an engine from a 07 nissan versa must be dropped and cant be hoisted out?
Uhh It's not that simple... Wtf.. You didn't at least mention to separate the engine from the transmission.
Scotty doesnt make videos for people who only know how to put gas in a car
I totally agree. Scotty doesn't seem to make videos for people with inline sixes or V8s either. There's a certain amount of preparation work involved in doing it right. He briefly mentions the removal of the manifolds. But there's also the need to unhook the wiring and pipes and tie everything out of the way. You also have to remove the fan, the belts and the radiator in case the engine block shifts forward and punctures it during the lift.
It's also a good policy to replace the rubber engine mounts while you're at it, rather than wait until they fail a roadworthy inspection and then you have to come back especially to do it in a year or two.
Can’t believe u had to change a Toyota engine.
hey Scotty I have a 1989 dodge w100 I'm swapping out the 318 for a 12valve cummins and I can only get it to turn half way and it gets stuck I took out the injectors that helped because before it wouldn't turn at all what could be stopping it? (the belt is off)
Brandon Simons odds are your "new' ENGINE is locked up. If you can't turn it over 380 degrees, that's the case, or the transmission is hanging up from jamming on something if it doesn't fit the engine right
I had my engine swapped and it took the shop like 3-4 days and heres scotty doing it in 2 minutes 😮
seriously people think scotty's videos are helpful but most of them are like this, just tips, doesn't actually explain each step like eric. no disrespect intened
etcg rocks
afrojack 777 yeah he does. I like chrisfix and Ratchets And Wrenches also
Scotty is more for people who already know mechanic well, chrisfix likes to go in details, and ratchet and wrenches just go and explain what does every single damn part he touches, so it depends on your time, scotty will have up to 10 minutes, chrisfix up to 20 minutes, ratchet and wrenches up to 4 days
eksine I agree
Is it really that simple to replace an engine? Theres a place that sells engine from japan for like $300
the actual process takes 8-10 hours, just make sure you have an engine hoist
Good sir, would you please tell me where this place that sells Japanese engines for like $300 is? Thanks!
there is a lot of it. mostly chopped from cars junked in japan. See MightyCar Mods show on buying a car from Japan
Diego A To remove AND replace an engine, it's not that simple, there's actually a lot to it, especially when installing the new engine.
Unless you're Dominic Toretto...he doesn't need an engine hoist....oh and Chuck Norris
Do you have to program after install and clear all codes before you remove engine for a same engine make and model type?
Scotty have a question can I change engine 4 cilynders switch for 6 cylinders
i did something wrong, it took me more than 2 minutes
lol, instead of "rev up your engine's," it's more like, "replace your engine's."
are there any bolts that hold the engine from flying out of there as your tooling down the road?
I just google it and start checking em out myself, try to get local as engines can be a pain to ship
Yeah I'm sure this really fuckin helped no one..
+Jim Ashole your name says it all, plus youcan't spell
+Scotty Kilmer Irony at its finest, Scotty. "your name says it all, plus youcan't spell". No hate, I just think you should check your spelling first before commenting on someone else's lack of grammatical accuracy.
Circuit Break he spelled everything correctly..where's the mistake?
He doesn't look old enough to have been working on cars for 46 years. He looks younger than a lot of 46 year olds.
Allen J Bowers he was a mechanic when he was fetus is what your trying to say
is it possible to change engine from a 4cyl boxer engine to a inline 4 and iis it possible to chanmge from a 4 switch engine to a 6 switch engine
Hi Scott. Can the Toyota 2ZR Engine be swapped for any other and still use the same gearbox and all?
I want to do this with a Nissan 300zx z31. Thing is it needs a new wiring harness and computer which got water damaged. Did you install a new wiring harness in this celica?
this may seem like a stupid question but how do you know that the new engine you put in is going to fit. For example: i found a maserati 4200 engine still working for around 6k and i just plop it into a audi a4 or is it more complex than that?
hello Scotty please answer is ASE 2 years schooling do they do engine bulding in school, coz i want to learn to build engine
Hi, Scott, how do I know the new mileage of my new engine.
@PVoyager the feeler gauge should slip under the rocker with a small amount of resistance, not tight, but not completely loose either with no tension slowing it down. Scotty
hi
scoty my car got an accidant we had to pul out the engine frome car after dant we instal the engne again but engine vibrating humming all car body parts tel me what to do?
on modern vehicles it's pretty hard to get a frame right, then the motor and transmission don't fit right and make lots of noises, realize that. but you could try new mounts
What up Scotty I got a91 Ford F-150 5.0 engine also 2001 Ford Expedition 5.4 engine will thy enter change I like to put 5.4 in my truck
Hi please I just change engine of my car how do I know the correct mileage of the engine thanks
I would definitely recommend watching another video on this. This barely scratches the surface
can an engine be replaced by any other type of engine or does it have to be the same type or even the same make?
Hey Scotty is it possible to replace 4 cylinder engine with a 6 cylinder engine with the same car model and year ?
I have a question when you swap engine's do you swap the computer aswell ?
How many hours should it take to do this to take apart an engine put in the new engine
scot. i have a 5sfe that has done 365000kms. im wanting to get the cylinder head reconditioned only and just clean the carbon off the pistons and clean the sump out. would the block cause a problem with the recod cylinder head?
+micheal balma it certainly can. REally, you're better off putting in a good used engine from japan, they have low mileage and last for decades often. Put one in my son's celica, it's still going strong in boston
Hi Scotty when replacing the new engine can I use the same ecu that the vehicle already has??? Or do I need to buy one with the it's own ecu?
You can use the old one. But I recommend a new aftermarket one if you can. Think of it like a computer - have computers upgraded since you bought the car?
Scotty can i put a TH400 turbo transmission on my Volvo S80?
If im not a licence mechanic and i saw that's video should I do that's?
Can you make a video about how to put a 1997 f150 4.6 triton motor in? I keep hearing it’s tricky to do. Or is it the same steps you go through in this video?
Hey Scotty what about swapping your engine out for something like an ls motor?
I am doing a engine swap on my scion tc. Do you have to take the fuel rail off or can you just disconnect it using a special tool?
you take the whole rail off
i have a question, anybody welcome to answer please
if u have a car that have 150k to 350k miles on, and you replace the engine with a brand new one, does make your car a new one since the engine is new ?
another word does changing your engine makes your car a new one engine wise ?
please i need your opinions / advice/ experience
no, back in 93 you could swap a japanese somewhat smaller CC engine with an american model that was a tiny bit bigger with no problems at all.
Would a 2010 Ford Fusion engine be compatible with a 2012 Ford escape?
I have a 96 new yorker I wanna put 97-00 ls400 motor in it? What all I need????
