Really learned a lot from your videos (kudos for your patience!), but the main thing that I've learnt is that I am NEVER going to swap out a Spyder engine 😂😂

If you ever run into the situation where you need a swap, send it my way - I'm ready for another one... Cheers!

Tricky fit, looking forward to the next one and seeing it runing. 🙂

Thank you! Good news is you won’t have to wait long. Next video was uploaded yesterday!

Hey buddy, I am rooting for you, can’t wait to see you fire it up. It has been interesting to watch you replace the engine on your Spyder. I know I would never have tried it myself. Best of luck 🤞 😀

Thank you! I really love doing this sort of thing. I'm happy to bring you along on the journey. The current snow storm here is going to hinder the progress on firing it up, but I'm chomping at the bit to see it run myself.

Nice job! I was waiting for that. Quite the workout!

Glad you liked it! The Y-DER Truck played a silent role in this one too. I used the trailer hitch on the other side of the canopy to ratchet strap the engine into place.

Great content. Please cover your plastic parts when using a grinder. Awesome job. Great helper.

That did not look easy! Good job!!

Thank you! Hopefully it will be awesome-er when it starts.

That looked like no easy task. An old trick for two wheels is to lay the bike on it's side and drop the motor in. Wow, to watch you wrestle that just made my back hurt.

I nursed the back for a few days after that one. I just imagined the Spyder up on its side. That would be a sight to see.

Great Job!

I have no idea but the wear on it looks like it could be. Good thing I bought a new one from Mr. Jim when i picked up the engine.

How many miles were on the failed engine? Do you know what caused the failure? Thanks in advance.

Failed engine had 130k. There is a gear that runs the timing chain up to the cams that failed. I have a good video of it in this series.

I don't know a couple of f1 mechanics would have only taken an hour 😄 only joking that looked like a pig of a job 👍

How much does that engine weigh?

@@PurpleOnThree I was an associate producer on a movie that we uploaded to Prime Video and a technical glitch with DropBox excluded a drone shot and replaced it with 5 seconds of an orange screen saying "Missing Video File". I will never do that again... The "First" game sounds like a fun one. I will give it a shot.
