Good for you my father is a world class gm tech he teaches it now he has the highest ASE certification you can get but he hates cars he got really burned out working on them for so long I'm a 2 year tech in the making and enjoy the hell out of it I hope one day to still see interest in this field several decades from now

50 years experience, repairing cars independently and never wasted my time with ASE......and I can tell you that Hyundai/Kia JUNK is the Chevy Vega of the new millennium.

CVT never good

4 year experienced KZfaq certified master tuner technician and I watch these every Sunday because I want to

@@donreinke5863 idk man kia has been making one hell of a comeback

His goatee is funnier than the safety tote.

@@earlscheib7754 Silence was funnier than that comment.

I'd buy a safety tote if you had a merch store.

@@DM0407 One shot, one kill.

I wondered about that tote-tub. I thought it was just levity. How is it safer?

That's why it's called 'in heat'.

It starts with the rubbing

2012 was the first year of the 3.8 GDI. My 2012 has 80K miles and has never used oil.

Thats crazy high miles, I just bought a wrecked one with almost 180k miles and yeah it was low on oil, swapped engines and it runs good but the one that was in it originally did the mentioned crank bearing delete and seized at 80k miles. I'm in the genesis group on Facebook and every other one has a blown engine

@@jesusspartan8951 Bought this car because I previously had a 2006 Sonata with the 3.3L V6 with 255K miles that didn't burn or leak oil. I am sold on these engines.

300K on my Borrego and doesn't burn any oil.

We have had 2 of the Veracruz models with the 3.8 . Both have been great engines and pretty easy to work on compared to other cars. I had to change timing chain driven water pump on my step sons Altima. It sucked

same. i also suffer from the odd bout of verbal dyslexia like this heh

I re-watched and still wasn't sure I heard it correctly. Thanks for the reassurance.

That line made my day because just prior to those I said imma battery my charger

And he didn't back up or falter or correct himself, he just owned it and kept rolling. Amazing.

Charlie Sheen wants your number.

For sure Eric has great humor!

The most value of these teardowns is to look at the engines and say to yourself would I ever own one of these? I have added about a dozen to my no never list.

The humor mixed with the knowledge is also good

About the only way to find a "core" 2 cycle Detroit is one that's sat and locked up.

There's a fair number at big truck wrecking yards.

@@randymagnum143 Which is the state of almost all ever produced. There's only 2 known failures of the ol 2 strokes, ran it until you're out of oil and then run it another 10k miles, or you can't afford the fuel for it anymore and you let it sit in a field for 30 years.

Tyrrell's Classic Workshop had a Jag V12 rebuilt in the last year for which there are a few videos. It's also a good channel overall for details about vintage car designs and technicalities.

This would be excellent. The biggest reason I watch these videos is because I like seeing how different groups of engineers from around the world solved basically the same set of problems.

@@Oddman1980 Exactly my point. I'm an engineer and I'm constantly driven by curiosity. Some of those parts tossed across the shop into the scrap bin (well, we know he misses the bin 90% of the time), I'm screaming at my computer, wait, let's see that piece again! LOL.

I'm not an engineer, but I work closely with them, and the solutions that I see are always interesting.

This would be perfect, my neighbor has one of these, we would definitely hang out and watch it.

In 8 years as a service advisor, during the period when cars went back to using oil regularly thanks to the rise in 0W viscosity and some notable design-defective engines from GM, Honda and Toyota, I told this to thousands and thousands of people. I learned by owning a car with bad piston rings that used a quart every gas tank. I had that car for 3 years and 50k miles and it was still running when I sold it.

Spot on.

Only when the engine has shut down overnight and is cold will I check the oil. Never at a gas station

Right!! Us OGs actually care about our vehicles.

I check the oil every time I get in the car to go anywhere. Sometimes I check the oil before dinner, but most of the time I check it first thing in the morning before breakfast, then one more time after lunch.

My dad had a 2011 Genesis 3.8 and it was starting to get some nasty chain slap for a few seconds at cold starts. Sold it around 90k miles, didn't have any issues as a result of it but I figure a tensioner was starting to get flaky. Not sure how common that issue is in the newer models

Hyundai Kia makes garbage

Sounds like a typical Honda or Toyota fan boy^

@@earlscheib7754 _"Hyundai Kia makes garbage"_ That must be why they are able to offer some of the longest warranties in the industry... 🙄🤡

If you take every part of the air filter out of an engine, and take DISTILLED WATER and a regular plastic 'plant mister', and make sure the nozzle is spraying the finest aerosol spray of the distilled water as possible... Then have a friend keep their foot by the throttle, and then carefully spray mist into the intake. Your friend will have to throttle the engine up slightly, and then let it back to idle as the mist passes through. If you do this right, you can de-carbon/de-crap/super clean pretty much the entire combustion part of the engine. However if you spray too much and/or spray water droplets instead of mist, then you hydro-lock the engine. Which is bad. Go hard or go home.

Yes! Marine motors would be really interesting.

Now that would be a fun video to see

Just change the oil every 1,500 miles and you'll have one.

@@rshettle123 I thing regular maintenance (say every 5k) would get you there with today's modern gas engines.

@@rshettle123 I’ve 520k on my 03 Honda Element. The oil has always been changed as needed, sometimes at 3,500 miles, sometimes at 5,800 miles. Just depends on when it’s dirty. I purchased the vehicle new and I’m more than pleased with it, it has its issues at times, over all though it’s a decent vehicle. 27 yrs experience,ASE Master Tech

I sell parts for a living and sell tons of batteries. The oldest battery I've ever replaced was on a 2010 mazda 6. It had the original battery from 2010. I did this last year in 2022. It's almost hard to imagine any battery lasting that long.

@@know916bound My batter is still going strong. The car is a 2013, but it left the factory in August, 2012., so the battery is at least 11 years, 6 months old. It has almost made it through another Chicago Winter.

@@billkallas1762 nice hopefully it lasts. We deal with the opposite down here with texas heat.

The Korean brands in general have come so far.

@@DM0407 Well, keep in mind that Kia is owned by Hyundai. But yes, even Daewoo (or as GM likes to call it, "GM Korea") has come a long ways

Hyundai sells a lot of cars because they give you a lot of car for the price point. The engines are garbage. Straight up garbage. I'm a master Hyundai tech and all I do is replace engines. There is never a shortage of engines to be replaced at a Hyundai shop.

@@MidnightVette74 Anecdotal evidence confirms what you say. I used to work at a dealership right beside a Kia store and all day every day there were tech's carting out engines to drop out back. Sometimes we'd drive a potential trade in around the Kia store and even knowing they carted engines out back every day, were always shocked at the amount of ground covered with engines. Truly shocking. But hey, public gotta love those 84/96 term payments!

@@MidnightVette74 Well, I can tell you that in 2003 I bought an '01 Accent with 30K on it---when I traded it in 6 years later with 120K on it, it still ran like a watch. Never broke down, never even had a check engine light

That's government regulations for you, nothing but contradictions galore. I work in a warehouse that deals with designer clothes and accessories, two out of the three brands we have are the contradictory dilutional "we're saving the earth" types. Because what better way to save the environment than to replace the use of cows and real leather with fake plastic junk? :P

Yea my friend had 2 fights with the dealership's service manager because his 12k mile Mitsubishi blows blue smoke at every red light. If he lets it idle for 10 mins it looks like it is on fire there is so much smoke. He gave up on them fixing it and traded it in.

Indeed between the gdi and piston rings to try and save an extra half mile a gallon, it's one step forward and two steps back 🤔

This is happening to my 2016 Genesis Coupe right now. Sucks. Oil pressure light only comes on when the engine is heated up and when at or near idle.

My dad’s has over 300k miles. Burns a quart every 3000 miles.

would you warn someone if looking at an 09 3.8 azera with 75k miles?

3.6 Vauxhall. Bmc A motors are so cute!

Is this the engine in my telluride?

My 2012 Genesis sedan 3.8 V6 GDI with 80K miles has never used oil.

My 2012 Genesis sedan 3.8 V6 GDI with 80K miles has never used oil. The dipstick read full at 4K miles prior to oil change.

I have had my Genesis Coupe 3.8 BK2, and I've put lots of miles on her. She's now at 141k, with 0 issues. I've taken great care of her though. Always change my oil at 3k, no matter what, and I had it walnut blasted to clean carbon out at 100k, also had the radiator flushed, changed injectors, and plugs/coilpacks. I think you must maintain your car if you want it to last. Problem with Hyundai/ Kia is they are relatively cheap, so it attracts a cheap crowd, who most won't do the maintenance, then they break, and hence the rep

My 2012 Genesis sedan 3.8 V6 GDI with 80K miles has never used oil. The dipstick read full at 4K miles prior to oil change.

I have the 3.3 v6 2017 engine in my Santa fe ....love it. At 108 000 km not using oil at all. Very happy with the engine .

I'm at 100k miles on my 2015 G80 V6 and it has never needed to be topped off with oil.

a quart of oil every thousand miles? That's ridiculous. I have a 09 grand caravan with 3.3 litre engine....180,000 miles and it uses .75 quarts every 5000 miles.

That's gdi for you!!! The gdi/pfi systems like what Toyota uses really are what all manufacturers should employ in their new engines , makes for less of a headache on higher mileage cars.

@@d47000 Or, iono, a carburetor? Like my F150 has? CArbon'd up intake tracts just were not an issue until we started going to fuel injection.

@@TestECull multiport injection is fine, it sprays on the valves, GDI doesn't. I have GDI on my new car....can't get around it. And CARBURETORS on my 58 Cadillac. And 68 Mustang!! 😊

@@johnfranklin5277 I've been let down by fuel injection so much that I won't even consider a car with it anymore. 🤷 Carbs can act a fool just the same as EFI can, but as long as there's some means of fuel getting into the carb and back out again vaguely in the direction of the intake manifold the engine will probably still run. It may run like utter dog shit, it may be a cunt to get started, but it will still run. Not so with EFI...computer says no, that's it, can be nothing wrong with anything at all under the hood and you're just left holding the tow bill. And I have had that happen before. A glitch on the can bus that sent erroneous fuel level information...yanno, for the fucking gas gauge...meant my mom's '03 Explorer decided it needed to totally disable the throttle and strand me NUMEROUS times. Took four shop visits and 2 grand in repairs to get the fucking thing to run again. You will NEVER have a carb go that badly wrong. Ever. The thing can have a hole shot in the side of it and you can probably still get the engine to run with a little creative bodging. Worst comes to worst a brand new carb is only a couple hundred bucks for most stock applications and can be installed by anyone who understands how to correctly use a 9/16" combination wrench Ye. For me, EFI is a total non starter. I love my carbs. They're more dependable, rugged, and infinitely easier to service when they do go wrong.

because no one is going to build a drift car out of a luxury car, and its not like the genesis was a super hot selling car either. its way cheaper to build on platforms like old mustangs or something like a 350z because they sold a shit ton of them and theres actually aftermarket support, which i wouldnt count on for a hyundai

Was that mostly on the Lambdas or all of em?

Fellow Hyundai tech here. Their engines are garbage. All I do is replace engines, all day, every day. Never a shortage of engines to do.

@@MidnightVette74 that must be the newer stuff. I've raced a 200k mile Delta 2.7 for a few years after retiring from spirited daily driving duty and couldn't kill it....have another one out of a junkyard I built and it also took some punishment. They sound awesome at 8k rpm. A lot of engines these days actually need to be driven hard now and then to keep stuff clean and not gunked up. Most people drag anchor everywhere and are cheap on maintenance...perfect recipe for stuck piston rings and oil consumption.
