"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthere's always something going wrong yeah that sounds like my car yeah that thing gone no sha play twin in the the time the variable cam timing set up I could have swore they did May the the one that did like they made like 350 horsepower not on the one J though not on the it was on the two it must be on the two I I'm not too good with Jay-Z Ms this is all pretty new so what's the plan Ben go to one J One J from a Kat oh yes one more K more reliability we did the drift valley together together yep when it was uh in a still yeah long time ago yeah slow you had to whip that thing so hard to get it to you're like I remember you finally did you're like that was awesome why do it again go to drift Valley with the Paxton no it'll be fine bro give me your tires don't want to drift the boat yeah we'll flip over get a jack under there cuz it's too loud you the lower one yeah I yeah I usually use a block get up get under the this makes me want a drift car that's what I want to do for I want to do a a drift missile for the channel if I could suggest one thing I know stay na a like you buy 240 just just stay in a for a bit get your like basics down and start doing this dumbb like I mean you guys know how to work on cars but it's still just one more thing you got to worry about the must thing I had before the white one I used to drift that and it was actually quite easy to drift yeah oh I learned that the hard way you wanted to do what a beamer you said I still do yeah if I can find a sh for for E30 buy one I was really close to buying one you I've already got the engine for it and the schematics on how to put it in I know nothing about Germans so I'm yeah did you ever go to drift Water by chance no I wasn't into drifting man I wish I was I went there once and that was a really good track to drift on I've heard it was sweet and I thought just for know shits and giggles I take the Mustang out there to uh do circuit too I was trying to keep up with an S2000 I hit the straight going like 100 spun off the track I thought I was going to die is that the two Val one yeah yeah before I had the coilovers was on just lower and springs oh man pretty funny I've seen the 2J going to S14 I've seen them going to these yeah and people apparently a lot of people have read for for I've seen but I don't know yeah the 2J I filmed was over a year ago it was a drag racing one it wasn't a drifting one do you know where I know there's the drain from the Block for the water I don't know where that is I know it's one on the bottom of the radiator yeah yeah but like there's still going to be water on the Block so Ben you look pretty epic with that light behind you right now not going to lie you look you can't see the jack either so it makes it look like you're lifting the car up Sho whoops missed uh I'm just going to try and pick one up from JPC so where are they at uh somewhere in where are they I guess Thomas will be able to tell us I know like the I'd hope Thomas could tell us cuz he works there nice is the the rb25 and the 26 like the same size wise I thought it was just a p I'm not sure that's I no I think it's like 89 or something like that a piston The Stroke of RB 26 is 73.7 and 25 is 71 so that's they get that and then recently I found you can put 26 heads on a 25 yeah or at least the valve cover the RB like it's weird Thomas's car his s like he's got a smaller engine but it's longer it's long yeah like I never realized I was like man I'm like I'm complaining like you know funny thing is the VH I had it's really wide but it was super short oh no yeah any of the v's they're just like like they stop it was weird but if if I ever if I decide to go V8 again ever I will go L I would not do vh45 ever again you ever seen the uh the one yui mhm it's it's a very interesting motor has a really odd it has a weird sound to it they all sound badass but they'll make like 280 but it sounds like it's like 400 oh my God these are Poes but it's like it's 280 come on two are you trying to get the fuel pressure regulator off are you trying to get fuel pressure regulator I'm proud you're going to one you realize the second you get your 1j started and you drive it Thomas is going to be like I'm selling the AR oh I know he was already talking about we were like getting lunch and he was like I'll see what J JPC like discount is and I start looking at one days and I was like oh my God are you going to be a hoarder and keep all the parts no already have people trying to buy them they're coming on Sunday that's why I'm trying to get stun did you know why I'm having an issue with getting this out and oh I think we got it stuff in between what those little tabs that hold it yeah that was a bad decision on my part I can actually take this thing out Auto Zone special power steering cooler thas was working it Forward every time I like pulled over from a run I had power steering everywhere Ben would you like to tell your Catching Fire story and not the Hunger Games uh yeah so this car was running good for quite some time uh we did a run down to blackburg me and Thomas uh the our 225 240 we ripping up Blue Ridge Parkway the whole way down doing back roads once we're down there no problem the whole time on the way back from 64 uh started smelling smoke and uh turned on my little light in there the whole cabin lit up with smoke uh so immediately I freaked out pressed the clutch in to pull over the side of the highway clutch stayed down on the floor so immediately I knew it was a clutch line and then we popped it up and it was on fire Thomas came out the extinguish wow yeah and that was like make break I was like I I'm going to pull it out fully build the K and go really silly with that or one JZ so you want one J it's just stock reliability I'm going to run stock tune stock everything not worry about it what oh yeah you want to do that it's up to that point now yeah that's what I was waiting for I'm going to take a step back I'm sitting on power steering fluid to twist yeah twist a little bit as you pull let's just cut this line I'm just another one one second right at that point oh I already have this all off that was really dumb no cutting necessary wow oh yeah yeah yeah you need an extension thanks fa appreciate it need a hot minute break yeah it was funny dude cuz we're like it's not coming out it's not coming out what is it the shifter still in I'm going to be there in 2 hours where there's a will there is a way yeah cuz it's nothing for me right now it's a boy all right so that was rest of power steering the oh I guess the hard line I got to take off that's one way to do it slow and steady wins the oh my God I need like the SpongeBob transition two days later there yeah really there we go just more stuff how's the RB running good I was going to drive it over but then I looked at the weather and I figured I probably wouldn't be getting out of here till later too cold to be driving home it takes like forever for it to heat up yeah oh thank you s you're so useful need more lights I had that ah oh God should have brought got to snake it out from go you let me bow this thing up I have like a lantern 27 hours or whatever we're going need freaking Life Alert able to do bur out I've never done a burnout on a motorcycle that be do it in here a video ago just all of a sudden one of the frames there's a huge smokey motorcycle oh okay or I don't know what that is oh no that's a 10 in the not um it was spinning the whole shaft when I was trying to loosen it I know if you need hands or anything this bolt was so hard to like undo it's cuz the weight of the transmiss was on it that actually might make sense cuz that bolt that I just popped out I couldn't get and I think it was putting undue strain on the shaft all right here's a tin thank you uh either or what do you need actually maybe short and then I'll need your wrench eventually for this one cuz I take this thing off I took this off just to try I kept it on just so it's s safe I I left I didn't put mine on I don't I was going to say I thought about leaving it on but it's just easier to say everything hard on this I'm just blaming on being a convertible power steering is going to be different this is all stock internals too right still stock internals so now that you've all had 240s would you recommend getting one yes yes still yes yes if you're not a mechanic you'll become one after that's that's what I was getting at it's the best learning experience yeah really triy hair that was an extra ground I put in the head cuz uh I was trying to solve idle issues initially but it ended up being a bad ECU which is pretty rare was your idle open it was all over the place I might get or sh what is this one running to it's perfect like it was meant for this car was back a little bit should I pull it yeah it's yeah lower it just a t watch out hands out hands out all right stop all right all right we slow it down we're getting excited there yeah I was just like slow down twist this chain got one speed yeah just tighten it real quick right there do they just slide in or are they boled them just trying not to FL again all right hold up that was like three or four what time we start like 5:36 about around 6 was like truly is it like now 9 let's check no CL 9:04 9:04 it's like 3 hours all right successful night oh yes very successful so how many times have you pulled a 240s motor now think I guess that's lower than the gas tank there so Jeremy's e putting the D in you had an D in yours and put the SR in pulled the SR put a VH in pulled the VH put the 2J in um pulled my e put an RB in pulled my uncle's de put his RB in Wayne's Ka and put the SR in and then this de and put in whatever he goes with so this was gravythere's always something going wrong yeah that sounds like my car yeah that thing gone no sha play twin in the the time the variable cam timing set up I could have swore they did May the the one that did like they made like 350 horsepower not on the one J though not on the it was on the two it must be on the two I I'm not too good with Jay-Z Ms this is all
