damn that's so gross to watch

LOL!!!

i dont think those nails have seen clippers in years... wtfffffff

Nope, doesn't play guitar because the nails on his left hand are also long which would make it impossible to press the strings to the fretboard. Cut those damn nails!

Just coke nails

Interesting, I just looked that tool so I could see a picture of it. I typically tap it just do it just to make sure that it’s seated in. On some of these smaller bolts like the ones in the harmonic balancer I didn’t get the tool in deep enough and I stripped the inside out. Ever since that experience I’ve tapped a star bit just to make sure I was bottomed out. Sometimes on these head bolts when I tapped it it’s stuck so tight that when I remove the bolt I couldn’t remove the bolt from the tool very easily. I’m always nervous with these type of bolts because if they strip inside the head I can’t even imagine what it would take to get it out. Sometimes you can grab the outside with an extractor from Irwin. That’s what I ended up doing with a smaller bolt. Glad to hear your thoughts, I got to say that looks like a nice snap on Starbit

Or you can just use the proper tool... It's not a torx, it looks like it but it's not, it's a #10 polydrive meant for specifically those bolts unlike the torx the edges are squared off. Snap on sells it, matco, and you can find it at eBay Amazon by it's name, or ECS tuning.

Really not sure what's the worst; using a Torx bit or hammering it in with the ratchet handle.. :D But thanks to him for sharing, nonetheless!

Just use a screw driver when it's all on to find TDC we are not working on a space shuttle here 😂

yep way easier and it'll save your torque wrench

thank you buddy! just received my VR gasket kit and this information probably just saved a headache! #blessed

HE IS INCREDIBLE!!!!

and you notice that green coolant turned dark after he was done. debris everywhere lol

I was shocked! IRON METAL DUST on the cylinder walls... I don't think that can be vacuumed out of there 😢

P.S. you should never have to tap your bit for it to seat or fit

Tbh it is pretty straightforward

Depends on your skill level and if you have all the right tools. it’s a simple job… just have to be organized, meticulous, and the time. If you like the car enough (assuming you already made a decision as that was years ago but to help people thinking about it that read this) then I’d offer a little less and it would be worth it to me. All other things being as they should with the car (ie they didn’t keep running it overheating and such) it could be a good car with a fresh water pump/timing service (required to do the job properly) and fresh gaskets. Add a coolant flush, fresh plugs, metal coolant flanges and oil/filter change and it should be singing for a while.

It should come with the gasket

@Hitman Audi doesnt use Triple square head bolts. Poly Ribe is what they are called. Toyota uses triple square head bolts.

@@rev367 triple square and ribe are different things.

A BGS 140mm long one is 7eur lol

OMG I was cringing the entire time he was torquing it. Wrong tool bit not torx.

Not for long

It would if he used g12 coolant and didn’t sand metal into the cylinders. As others have said lots was done wrong here but if done correctly it can extend the life of these pretty great little engines for years more of service

The engine has a timing belt that K’NEX the crankshaft to the camshaft, since there are two camshaft on the engine The two camshaft are connected by a chain. Kind of weird but that’s how Volkswagen does it

It's because of variable valve timing. The chain tensioner changes the timing of 2nd cam by changing the position of the chain.

It's not vvt, it's just normal DOHC. Cambelt drives the pulley at the front. The 2 cams are one for intake, one for exhaust and they're connected by the chain

@@livefree6878 but yes, most manufacturers just wrap the cam belt around 2 pullies to drive the cams

I heard Audi got 3 belts?

AGREED! I was so wondering if anyone else was raggin’ on him about his long ass toe nails on his fingers... dude wtf..??? I would be so embarrassed

I haven't done the head gasket but the timing belt, water pump and tensioner takes at least 8 hours (supposedly - it took me 14) so you'll probably want a couple of weekends set aside to be safe.

@@MarkNealon sold it got a 335 😂

Typically the head is machine flat, to make sure that everything seals up. I’ve had a really good results with gluing three sheets of 120 grit sandpaper to a flat piece of glass. Then I move the head over the sandpaper until everything‘s shiny. Then I check The head for flatness with a good straight edge and feeler gauges. I’ve got some videos that I’ve done on this, there’s also a lot of other videos online on people doing this procedure. In the end I’ve had really good compression tests flattening the head this way.
