This definitely could have been 2 separate videos 👍 Enjoyed learning something new about that engine mount bracket

if you look in the glove box, theres a tube of jb weld.. for the piston.. ect. ect...factoree

Could you make a video tearing the old engine down and show what you find? If i hear these prices if you know what parts needed to rebuilt the engine it might be doable.

Hi, do yer think it was easier with it being an automatic as it looks like there was bit more clearance not having the manuals clutch cover housing!?

Put insulation on all your pipes that is not in the wall it's cheap and you don't have to do s*** like you doing

Why would knuckle scrapers be watching WWW? Not everyone who attempts to join in the community discourse is a knuckle scraper and Wes can handle the critics as he plainly demonstrates via straight talk.

@@knuckledragger4648 I see what you did there. Funny.

I resemble that comment.

Wes's usual comments are about how great his commenters are and how much help he gets from them. I think his last video was implementing what commenters told him to do. Sure, there are a lot of big mouth know nothings, but there is also a lot of cumulative experience and knowledge.

I googled the engine price from salvage yards and was surprised at the prices. Can literally buy a used car for the prices

Those are shop tools.

@WatchWesWork is just another reason I'm in awe. I'm making modifications in the home shop asap.

@@WatchWesWork ah yes, shrinking and expanding bearings on something, I remember... At least yours looks like i still would eat something out of that thing. The last ones in shops I have seen I would not have touched with a 14 foot pole.

Eeeeww! Lol!

It's peak something...

@@WatchWesWork great channel. one of the best watches on the site.

If you use the blue pvc glue,It cures in 15mins. Not 2hrs.

Man an engine swap with no hiccups plus a bonus plumbing part is awesome. Great vid again 💯

Just got to that part. I also somehow like a bit of plumbing side content, dunno why, maybe it's just anything Wes does.

Father's always pass away too soon. Mine passed away in 2021 at a not-so-old age of 70. Every time I open something up, miss my old man.

They already do 😂 on there 4cly there horrible vheicles and hold no resale value there v6 are fine tho

But if it wasn't done at a Dealer, I would expect Hyundai to tell them to pound sand.

That's 5 years ago.

@@ferky123 5 years / 110k miles is WAY TO SOON for a catastrophic engine failure. Sadly it looks like most people don't care that they need to get deeper and deeper into debt to replace a $50k rolling iphone every few years.

The owner has to purchase a warranty for it to be covered by warranty. Its over 100k

@@rrmm7566 Couldn't have said that any better. People these days have absolutely no mechanical experience. As long as the glowing lights on the radio, satellite connection, seat warmers and internet access keeps going they are happy. Nothing but a mind numbing electronic show to distract from the joy of actually looking outside the window and seeing the sights..

@@mph5896 That doesn't make it right for Hyundai to produce cars that disintegrate just outside of warranty. BTW there is a $3bn class action on these engines and Hyundai is extending warranty to 150k but it only covers damage caused by rod bearing failure, which this is likely not. So the engine seems to be exceptionally horrible and owners have to sue Hyundai for every defect separately to get them to do something about it.

Always. LOL.

If wife doesn't help, you will not keep her?

She does not watch wes work

They watch other people work on cars….and then all the sudden, they are experts.

Ideas can be fun tho

They're probably pre-emptively exiting the business in anticipation of all the no-warranty Hyundai claims coming in.

What else does Hyundai put this engine in??

"Well, that's gone forever..." I felt that one deep in my bones.

He says "really" but we all know the word he says in his mind

How long has he been on youtube? Be a two-hour special episode. :D

@@mphilleostill not sure if he was saying good bye to a fastener or the 10mm socket he was using to remove said fastener 😂

My favorite Wes phase is "Got It" 👍👍🤣👍👍

Get rid of that junk before it blows. I'm trying to get the dealership to make good on the recall, but they are giving me hell. I have a second car, a 2001 Lexus RX300 and it's a much better car in every way imaginable

Won`t be long before Kiddo can step up to that role. Disappointed that Max isn`t a bit more helpful around there, aside from locating rodents.

That’s why I keep my old rigs alive! Society needs to move back to the way it was. A lot less waste when parts are interchangeable!!

It was too easy for the average joe to own whatever they wanted. The elites can't allow that

100%... The hole in the piston could be a symptom, not the cause.

Side affect because of the fact!

@@davidkane4300…hyundai engines are high pressure engines, there are extreme pressures in the combustion chamber. The hole in the piston was caused by excessive heat, and you have to consider that NOBODY checks their oil. The owner didn’t check the oil, didn’t change the oil on time, and didn’t maintain the cooling system….I would put 500 bucks on it. These cars get a bad reputation because people don’t take care of their vehicles. People USED to take care of their cars in this country.

People don’t take care of their cars anymore….

@@deplorablelibertarian they're also poorly made (poor materials, build quality, quality control, etc.), which combined with poor maintenance is a recipe for disaster. Hyundai/Kia know they built junk engines, but something in their corporate structure led them to keep it (cost vs. benefit of a newly engineered engine vs. just replacing the failures that occur before the warranty is up). Similar with the dry-clutch Ford powershift in the Fiesta/Focus/Ecosport (and probably many other non-US models)... Nearly 100% failure rate! They HAD to know during prototype testing, but unethical corporate culture forced a bad product to market. Similar to basically all diesel manufacturers cheating on emissions so they could meet power, efficiency, and emissions targets, but couldn't do all three in reality, so they cheated, hoping nobody would find out. VW was arrogant about it, and got their pee pee slapped by Uncle Sam as a warning to others. Cadillac tried doing the right thing by cancelling the V8-6-4 mid-year because it was so unreliable, but then did the wrong thing by rushing the HT4100 to market instead of reverting back to a carburetor from 1980 (or picking a BOP engine like they eventually did with the 307 and 350)...

Honestly, I would use mine more BUT it takes too long to have work done. Cant wait a month or six for work to be done. Drop in a used engine in a day, or get a dealer reman and do the same in a day.

We have an excellent machine shop here, but the building they're in is literally falling down around them, all the employees are in their 60s, and they have so much work they don't even try to keep up. Last time I had a crank ground it took 5 months. They have one guy that can do it and he's an old hippie who works when he feel like it.

You don't see any young people working in an engine machine shop. Since all the real auto parts stores are pretty well gone and replaced by big chain stores. In my area you don't go to the auto parts store without going on their website looking up your part numbers and checking their inventory to make sure it is in stock. @@WatchWesWork

Don't forget the ease of theft they built in to all the Kia's as well. There should be a mandated buyback of all these affected cars. Between the engines and thefts that would account for pretty much all of them on the road. VW cheated the emissions and they bought all the cars back. Hyundai/Kia should be forced to do the same..

$12k? That's insane! I could make an engine from scratch for $12k.

@@WatchWesWork Should 100% make a video

And people say German manufactures are unreliable.

Friends don't let friends drive Kias. 😂.

Friends don't let friends drive ANYTHING that's not a US brand.

I think they sent some of the salt down here.

Upstate NY doesn't shy away from turning the roads into the Bonneville salt flats either. I think I can actually hear my truck rusting away.

​@@ItsAlwaysRustytry upper Michigan...😂

​@ItsAlwaysRusty yup. 3 days straight of snow here in the land of the football team that can't win in the playoffs, Friday night, town plows went by 7 times from 5pm, dumping salt. The end of my driveway was a big pile of mush

I would just get rid of it while it still runs lol

Having spare components stored away for when you need them is a sound policy. My neighbour has 2 spare vehicles (one blown engine, body good; one rear quarter t-bone, engine and gearbox nearly new) in the back of his garage for his daily driver. Probably already recouped the price of both spares by not having to buy new/used parts for his car.

That handy 1/4 in thick foam insulation diameter about 3/4 inch...that has a slit along one side. I use it on the hot water pipes going out from the water heater, also as padding (with cable ties) on the chrome steel foot rests on bar stools in the basement rec room, maybe more uses

I wish we had a guy like you in my area. We used to but he retired a few years ago and no one took over.

A lot of the time they don't like something because they don't want to relearn what they've already known for years. Personally, I'd love to learn how to rebuild a modern OHC engine but I just don't have the money or a place to do it. I can't even work on my vintage air-cooled dirt bike that has nothing to it because I lack space and a place to tinker. Fighting the weather just so you can work on something ruins the fun of it.

@@Slane583 What state are you in ? Maybe someone there is a hobby guy and can get you some garage / shop space

@@Stephen.in.Virginia I'm in NY, as far north as you can possibly go before going into Canada. There isn't much around here. As nice as it sounds asking someone for space to tinker I'm not fond of that idea. I already do something similar with some of my other machines that are stored at a friends house. It doesn't always work out because I can't always go over. There's also the travel distance. Which isn't a long drive, but I'm not always in the mood to travel. I don't want to have to travel somewhere every time I want to tinker on something. I've also gotten to the point over the years where I'm getting tired of relying on others just so I can get my own stuff done. I just want to walk out my door, go into the back yard and tinker when the urge strikes. No travel, no asking for permission, no anything. A decent sized shed would be nice I just don't have the funds right now. Paying for other stuff first is more important. :)

@@Slane583 I feel your pain!

It’s a bad casting from what I have been told. The original issue was hardening, they get heat treated in giant ovens with rows a rows of motors. The ones in the middle did not get heated properly and were weak…. That issue got resolved, but the next bigger issue came up.. bad castings. They are sand cast blocks, and during the cleaning process sand was left in the block… over time it brakes loose and starts traveling around the motor and boom… that’s why no one will rebuild the blocks. No one wants the liability

The crazy thing is: a pre-2010 Hyundai/Kia would be more reliable than the post 2010s.

He probably has to turn in the core.

Should ship it to Eric at IDoCars

Yes!

It had a pretty decent oil filter on it as well. Not a $2 quick lube or dealer cheapie.

Yep! That’s why I ran PEX in my shop…

I figured a windshield was going to be purchased on that one. I am on my own with the hoods, ate 1 windshield.

Get a drywall lift...

Plot twist: Rodents can destroy Pex😂

🤣🤣🤣@@Hzwo1990

Correct!

eh, like Wes said that engine probably doomed to suffer the same fate as the first one. a slightly janky repaired tab on an engine living on borrowed time is least of owners worries

@@harveylong5878 If the broken part leads to an air leak that can lean out the mixture and burn another piston...would be worth watching closely if that was the initial fault...seems that the cracked intake was the #2 one... 🤔🧐👍

@@harveylong5878 True, but I'm a bit of an adhesives nerd.. In any case, if it were me, I would have just taken a soldering iron to the first intake and melted the crack back together..

Typically the plastic inlet manifolds are a glass filled polymer, either polyamide or polypropylene.
