I’ve been an engine builder for almost 30 years and I confess that I love the smell of tearing an old engine apart. The best odor resides in the main bearing bolts holes with the cylinder head bolt holes coming in a close second. I believe that I was born to rebuild engines.

I have a similar experience with the smell of gear oil. I love the smell of tearing a rear end/t-case/ or differential apart. Theres just something about it that I like. Engines are the same tho

“I like watching people struggle” 😂 brother love

You know what I like about you Dex?! You just say it and call it how it is. Keep up the awesome work and the awesome videos. I have a WJ and wish I was closer to you! Thanks for all you do man!

Seeing all that WJ carnage makes me really worry about the rattles in my 00WJ 4.0

Dex, if I ever need a 4.0 I’m gonna get one off you! Seriously!!

Thank you for this video. If you are talking about idocars and his tear downs of almost every engine is such a gods send.

Love these guys! My favorite channel! Let’s get these guys to a million subs guys!

Watching this video reminds me of a time when 4.0 Jeeps were a dime a dozen. Times are changing 😢

interesting video , i can,t think of anyone else that would even have that many motors 😂

Another Great Video Dex , Just the Money Alone is worth the Time Even The Scrap Pice of sorted Metal Let alone salvageable Parts Rods,Cranks,Heads,Blocks,Rocker arms, Ive said it Before and ill say it again a Man doing what ive always wanted to do !!! I love yer channel and again cant wait for the next Vid , Up North where We have No Good Bodys and No its NOT TO LONG OF A VID !!!

Harbor freight hydraulic air assist cylinder. We're straight for engine hoist as well.

The oil Pan bracket I've made that. I've an actual piece of 1/8 steel cut out And wilded washers to the ends. Because I couldn't get it for anywhere from the dealer.

Even with a stock motor I like to put a cam and it at least a 258 duration. They'll put a little bit above stock. Little more horse power better throughout.

Tearing down that many motors will definitely show you the weak points 👍👍

Meseco?!....lol😂 that was awesome

You put a lot of knowledge in these videos. Like how you explain what it is and what happened maybe to it. Awesome job and great video

What makes a million views is a desired motor something that's been sitting completely rebuilt with all almost exact same parts and then run with amazing power, and I'm sure there's lies in between, but whatever. I like your videos. I have 7 trucks but nowhere near what you have? LOLI wish you'd found a new Cherokee. With virtually no rust, LOL still trying to fix commanchi.

At 1.38 your brother was there waiting. looking ready to go! Justin get Dex an apron!! A machinists apron/gown whatever its called That would complete the video. Just for fun!! Love the fact you guys work together. It's nice to see that. oh ! can I get that bearing right there?

My God, you 2 guys live live such an awesome life.

You guys should do this least once a week and call it somthin to do with mr Rogers neighborhood tear down day lol

“Ah million views and one motor?” that won’t cut it with these good Ol boys gotta do 8 in one Johnny !

I've never done any sort of mechanical work but I would love to fully take apart an engine especially one of these inlines as I drive a 01 xj

Great stuff bro...I like that yall brothers doing some cool shit together and make money too....I jelly af....anyways keep up the awesome content...I definitely enjoy

I love the way you call it out, you and your brother is very knowledgeable on these jeeps 4.0 now I know we’re to get 4.0 parts keep the videos coming

Man, that's a lot of Carnage.

Also have a 2.5 that lakes breaking rear ends drive shafts. With 488 locked 36 inch tires. And high strength, Axel shifts. Snapping shits not fun for pass 4 years. Am I called at the torchmonster? Picks a front and off the ground, no joke.

Awesome video-learned a lot!

I would love to see a 5.2 teardown and learn more about your thoughts on the 5.2 vs the 4.0. Thanks for the fun videos!

Impact grade sockets make a difference too, even on my 3/8 its noticeable. Love the content, Keep it coming!

Budget stroker 👍🏻

Kickass vid Dex and Justin! keep it up, love the varied content!

The pump cherrie picker, could you take a reciprocating saw and knock the teeth off an old blade and wrap it around the pump handle toward the bottom and pump it that way

Don't worry about extra long videos i watch what I can then when bored I go check the library and finish them or add to watch later list

Please - Please - Please do a budget stroker video 🙏

It’s on the list asap!!

Too much weight in Fronen with stock axles lead to bent axles. Also, too much weight in front end will lead you. Top heavy front overbackwards. If you're a trail rider, if you're mudbogger V8 is the way to go. But me I like to be a little bit pro Stock You can still gain a lot of horse power and torque. Avenue line I've met couple guys with 1000 horse in line 6. And for others with BMW slanded 6. With plenty, it's interesting.

2:15 omg exactly lmao lmaooooo “ you have the bank two cam positioner timing sprocket???!?” Ya I do but why would I be going in there for that

do a rear man seal with easy tools video!

Dex you should build a off road wrecker Cherokee that would be awesome content from you

take care yourself man , get some colodial silver ... good natural antibiotic etc.. back in the old days they used to throw a silver dollar in the milk jug to make it last month longer . silver good for yas

I put a 2000 wj 4.0 in my 2000 xj and made everything work and had it running but it wouldn’t go into gear. Idk what to done other then pull it out and get a xj motor

I hope you get ahold of my buddys xj with a wj motor in it one day just so you can tear it apart saying wtf non stop

Then one piston towards the center is probably because the cracked head and head hydro lock. What's through the connecting rod right? Outside? Cuzzle's fucked up heads if you get the wrong number on the head, maybe.

That poor 5.3LS laying there. Did you ever get it installed in the Camanche? I'm definitely needing one of those Camanche trucks for a project.

Can you show a video of how you made your Cherry picker drill powered

Not everyone lies. But some folks dont do nothing but lie.

NICE

I spy an Ls motor in the background

I need a 99 4.0 block mines about to quit

My 4.0 locked up on the highway last night ;( i assume its a spun bearing

Hay Dex ,was wondering how to make a connect, I have a 98 XJ and need a few parts, I live in Bristol. Do you sell part, work on trucks. If you could get back I'd appreciate it

42 cracked pistons is my guess

Hey dex been a fan for along time and love your content. I need some help with my tj. I just put a lift on it and I dropped my 4wd linkage with it . When I go to put it into 4wd it grinds until you put it in neutral. But when the jeep is off it seems to go into the gears. Can someone with more smarts help me out please. Ik your busy just asking

@3:12 HEAD PHONE WARNING!!!!!!!!

Will the factory aluminum valve cover fit 1999 grand Cherokee also do you have any

I had a lift die in my 4.0 which parts store lifter is the best? Should I leave the old stock ones in all the others?

Yall need someone to do teardowns? 👀👀👀

What pistons and lifters do you recommend

What did 4.2 come in

how much would u want for that header want one to throw on the lj when i build a stroker

7:33 thats sludge from dummies not changing or changing oil every 10,000 miles lol

Dear god let’s make this guy rich before he loses all his hair

Half a teaspoon of organic trumic in an inch of water in a class with a bit of black pepper 🌶️ mixed in and stir eat some food 🥘 first then drink it for your cold 🥶 .👍🏻

Hes doing a good job on videos, but hes also dealing with a lot of people. Negligence off high rev bullshit or fucking Trucks up. And he gets the shit and stick and trying to make a buck if he can with what he has buying selling. So I can't knock them for that. Trying to make a live in somehow? And I appreciate that.

Now why would someone bring you a good motor for a core

Bad maintenance I’d say by most people or reving the 💩out of them 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Meseco? What's up with spelling? That in itself is a blasting alarm. Meseco or Mexico I would never purchase a motor from them.
