I take that as a huge compliment thanks! Just trying to save these cars lives, but all they need are blood transfusions every 3-5k miles!

@@CarMechaNick it's ok it was meant as one, and it's true. it's an essential service. i recently bought a 2007 sonata with 147,00 miles on it. i,m the third owner, and it's got complete maintanance records from the previous 2 owners which were family members. runs great, little 2.4 4 popper has power, transmission is fine, and i just got the oil changed, and i got it for only $1800. even though its running fine, the engine light came on shortly after the oil change and i noticed a slight, i think it was lifters ticking. first thing i did was take it to oreillys and they scanned it and the printout said i had a 6 cylinder and i needed a new timing belt that cost about $40. then my mechanic cousin said my car dont take belts they take chains and my engine is a 4 cylinder. so i then take it to auto zone for a scan and it came back all i need is an oil control valve. i told the guy there what oriellys said and he said he thinks they forgot to clear the info from the last car they scanned. i'm told the OCV is an easy fix but i better start saving my pennies because it;s due for a new timing chain at 150000 miles.

That's awesome! Most cars can be driven for a long time, just have to keep up on maintenance. Most ppl just think you put gas in and change the oil.

I always say we are like doctors as well........good job on this engine removal......

They are super easy! You will enjoy this one! Thanks!

It is a hefty job, I appreciate you saying that. 😊 Thanks for watching!

Hope they fix it up good for ya!

Thanks for watching 👀 when I do one ill upload i video!

These are fun, not anything hard to reach. Love it! Thanks for watching 👀

Hahaha working in the used car biz I probably have! Thanks!

I’ve done far to many to count at this point. Many more since this video too.

I do just about everything. I started my career in a transmission shop, went through the retail service centers and finally ended up here. Haha. We have four of us in the shop. Two guys on customer cars, one guy on recons, and then there is myself. I do the big jobs for most of the stores in my area. So i stay pretty busy on the heavy side. I would do diag videos but those are more on the boring side. Ive seen everything from blown out spark plug holes from sketchy mechanics to water and candy in the gas tank. Never a dull moment in the used car biz.

Also thank you!

I'm sure I have and yeah from the top easy one take off the intake manifold. Super easy and gives you lots of room to remove accessories.

Everything seems to be holding up with mine. I never garage it. If yours has been maintained I probably stick the money back in to it. You're going to spend at least $6,000 to 8,000 on clapped out crap.

Thanks!

You could try to get things loose and if that doesn't work you'll have to take the trans with it. Whichever you'd prefer.

They say there is, but if there is one thing I know most ppl avoid and that's oil changes.

It would make easier to sort out it the trans comes out. Doing a locked up motor is honestly no fun. Probably the worst. And I do literally everything. Pretty different for the 2.7 too.

Check junkyards for used, and you can always check dealer. But prepare for a large bill.

I pulled the long block. A short block would not include the cylinder head. Typically when you get a unit from a junk/salvage yard, its a long block that includes the oil pan. Atleast from where we get them. The only one that shouldn't have a pan would be a brand new/remanufactured unit, those typically come bare.

@@CarMechaNick Thanks! Does the block come with the throttle body or is that just transferred over from the old block?

When we get a reman its bare bones. No oil pan, oil pick up, valve covers, everything has to be swapped. But the junkyard will usually supply intake and such. If your engine blew up, make sure to check intake for debris if you have to reuse your old one. Good luck!

You can pull the entire assembly and remove torque converter. Use a wrench to get converter bolts. Be prepared its gonna be messy as hell.

Thank you Sir!!!

So I don't remove the entire assembly, it calls for that process. Which if they followed that process it's possible. But the way I remove just the long block I don't have to mess with the driver axle. I do remove the bracket that holds the passenger side axle to the block. I don't remove the axle, just the bracket.

@@CarMechaNick Thanks for the response and the video.

No problem! Thank you!

That's a good question 🤔 I'm not real sure. That sounds like it may work. Seems easier with a 5 spd.

Wow that's a bunch of money. Labor would be like 1-1500.

I honestly can’t remember. I should have thought more wisely about my titles. 🤦‍♂️

Any ratchet I don't have to crank myself is a win.

I just play with the trigger. I always torque wheels though. I LOVE my Milwaukee tools!

Not long for myself, a reman can be done in a day with swapping parts.

@@CarMechaNick That's what I thought. Thanks for the reply !!

No problem!

I'm honestly not sure, but our warranty for the car covers the engine 🤷

Lol idk man, maybe count them as I remove them in the video.

Thank you! You could say it's the recall lol lots of the cars I see don't get many oil changes.

There is a sticker, should be on the inside of hood, or on the radiator support area.

Hope that helps!

@@CarMechaNick thanks for your help..

I don't think it would be worth the effort. But you can make anything happen.

It would likely be cheaper to get a used hyundai genesis

We have had a few that were under this same warranty

Takes about a day if you've never done it before.

Jesus whats parts and what's labor?

@@CarMechaNick 6200 for parts... 2900 for labor.

Dang. It's expensive but is it a remanufactured engine?

@@CarMechaNick for brand new engine

Yes it is.

At Kia we have 1 tech that can do an entire engine in 2.5 hours. I personally can do one in about 6 hours tops. It’s about 2 hours average to remove and another 2 to reinstall

Enjoy!

@@CarMechaNick 🤘

I agree I need to just periodically clean it when I move the camera. Thanks for watching!

22mm

You got it no problem!

@@CarMechaNick I subscribed. Thanks for the response. I'm a 12 year self made mechanic. For some reason I enjoy fixing things. Sweet misery. And good money.

It saves lots of money, and it's fun for people like us. I don't love being dirty but I do love fixing things. You're awesome thanks! 😁

Lol sorry commented halfway thru video fogured it was coming out the bottom lo

hahah no worries man. I'm a big take it out the top guy. most ppl want them taken out of the bottom but f all that.

These cars are basically big turds. Some bigger than others. This on here, is a big one. Thats awesome stuff! I love me some race car stuff. 🏎 🏁

🤣😂 That is hilarious! Chrysler does a fantastic job of making sure us mechanics have something to do. 😁

I do too many of so many cars.. 😩 But the more I do you're right the faster I get.

I've done them it's just been a while. I feel it will be able to come out the top you may need to remove the intake manifold or the exhaust just to make it skinny.

I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L same question.. would my engine have to come out from the bottom or top??

You may have to remove both manifolds to make it fit out the top

Right on. As long as it's possible bcuz I do not have a vehicle lift.

It's one I've done quite a few times so it's hard to argue with you 😅
