What's going on here? I must have missed something.
I haven't been watching your videos long but this one and part one has just gained you my respect Sir. You said "we" messed up when you could have quite easily have tried to palm this whole situation off on your apprentice. You also stayed relatively calm and composed throughout and didn't lose your shit with the apprentice, well not on camera anyway. Fair play to you brother and that for me is definitely worth a like and a subscribe.
supply chain interruptions, we all need to get used to it
You screwed up….Rebuild my original engine. Dont put some high speed chase wrecked motor in my car.
Probably the 2nd oil change in its life when you did it.
Damn I feel this in my soul
Your a brave man Ray
Multi talented…that you are! Mechanical & film producer…I did 25 years appliance repair …electrical some circuit boards…and 9 years Shipyards…bla bla… Your smart.
Just deal with the BS for a few more Months, Please……
Your day is about to arrive……
You just need to keep making the Vids, and putting up with the BS until we finallly correct 2020…..
Which is now started and beginning to happen…..
Hold the line, it WILL pay off……
A sorry story. So easy to be wise after the event. Is there a part 2 to this vid ?
I'm glad I don't work at a dealership anymore; cutthroat business and don't make any real money. I used to dream of customers pacing around my bed waiting for their cars….I enjoyed working for Toyota but the American brand dealerships over the years all sucked.
It sucks, but it drove into shop, you guys did break this engine
Excuse my ignorance, why a new engine? Could you just change the rods and cylinders?
Now I know why that timing gear was so balls up ! A LOUSY BLUE OVAL !
I know mistakes happen, and theres no good solution for anyone here, but it does make me wonder what the procedure would be if you break an engine on a car with high miles (on the chassis), but has a freshly remanufactured (basically brand new) engine in it. My car has 180k miles on the chassis, but the engine is more or less brand new with less than 5k miles on it. would the shop try to screw me over with throwing in some high mileage used but working engine, or would they be obligated to put in a brand new engine since the one they broke was more or less brand new?
I allways look for a plug around the crank, stuff a bit of rod in it and rotate the engine to see if it slips in deeper at TDC, then find a way of locking it with an allen key or sockets and extensions. Afterwards ill go to the cams making sure its not 180 out then lock them with my special cam scrap pile, ie a stack of hacksaw blades, square stock, steel rule or vice grips with card in between. tippex any cam sensors. then when I feel safe remove the belt and any other crap. Saying that the newest car I own is 1977 for what I hope is obvious reasons.
all that work and one lonely hose clamp didn't get tightend 🙂
That’s what you get with a ford!
They should of crushed it and saved a lot of headaches
That's all there is to Changing an engine
Confused
Please don't quit your day job that's the only one out of 100 billion.
Ford needs you!
🤔😒😂🤣😭😏
Well, not really a "new" engine, just scrap yard junk thrown in after trashing the customer's engine.
Glad you found a better job. I'd never think that any manufacturer would design an engine that used a friction fit to time a valvetrain off the crank. That is utterly craziness. Then again, there are only a few Ford designs that I would own.
At least the cam chain cover is fixed. No more leaking.
That looks like a metric fuck-ton of stupid. Those engines are crap
mazda 3 BK 2.0 150PS Motorcode LF ? i think the newer revision. i have the older one in my car with small oil consuming…. per 1000km 400ml….
definitely not one of your better productions…
I remember the good old days when you took the engine out of the car and not had to lift the car off of the engine.
What brand of 90 degree electric ratchets do you have?
It's not the business, it's not the cars… it's the people that make this job crap. Every car owner thinks they're being robbed. People, you need to service and repair your car, and guess what? It's not free. And yes, it was doing that before you brought it to us.
I like how you dropped the engine with the subframe. I've been doing it wrong all my life! Never too old to learn. 😁
Will you please identify your shop’s location by city and name so we can all boycott it. Especially now that you are gone.
Makes me glad I worked on aircraft instead of cars.
why wouldnt they let u film the rest of the process?
My late Uncle was a Chevrolet Dealership Mechanic in Langley BC, Canada. For 22 yrs at that dealership. He was their most certified and only one able to work on the Corvettes and all the "newest" computer type vehicles. He bought new Harley and decided that he would use his holiday time. He asked for a 2 month leave of absence from the shop foreman. Which the response was, I only allow 2 weeks at a time max no matter who you are. My Uncle that day, rolled all of his snap on boxes and tools into his truck and left. He promptly got a call from the owner of the dealership informing him that the shop foreman was fired and to please come back after his 2 month holiday. He said naw, I have realized that you think you own me. He later got a job at a custom transmission shop, working on race car transmissions. Proves what others in the comments have said about dealership loyalty. They are not loyal to their employees of decades. How can you begin to think they are loyal or honest to a customer. I will say, the mechanics at the dealership were top notch tho. It is so unfortunate how such a knowledge intensive Career is looked upon so badly. Love your vids. Love your attitude toward adversity.
Haha, "Now we have created life in a Ford."
This sounds like famous last words. Fucking garbage brand…
I'd love to see the actual dialogue between the customer and the mechanics. I wish you could add that to the videos.
I'd like to point out that any grammatical errors should be overlooked as English is not ray's first language.. that would be Cybertronian. We the people of Cybertron were greatly saddened by the loss of our best medic to Earth, but we understand that you earthlings need him more.
Looks like a complete nightmare!
This isn't Pit Stop. Do you have your own shop now?
What a surprise, someone who trashed their engine doesn't want video proof that they're at fault & it wasn't the shop/dealer
No shit just read the comments sorry man. Your a kick ass mechanic screw those bull shit dealerships
What was the back story. Did they accuse you of this Ford
I would think the management would welcome documenting the procedures so there would be no "He said, she said" on what was done.
How many times have you had a customer try and blame you for a BS issue. Working at my buddies garage I've seen some craziness, customer brings car in for a brake job and brings car back a few days or weeks or even months and says that when the car was brought in for the brake job everything was fine and now they have a miss fire or the muffler fell off or some BS and tries to get him to fix it saying that it wasn't like that before….lmfao. What did you mean you were right I was wrong about?
It’s strange I work in the factory that produced the front and rear subframes for this vehicle there is actually a small chance that it is a part I produced while working on the machines
My father-in-law, 57 years ago, told me that you can make more money working for your self, selling pencils on the street, than can working for someone else. I found very true. Hay thanks for the videos.
Yup that would have been a new engine from the dealership
Part of why I'll never work at a stealership, or take on an inattentive apprentice.
this is mazda mzr/duratec engine right ?
