Hi Randy. I’m a seventeen year old. I am learning to be an auto mechanic. I have been working on my 1999 Saab 9-3 se for awhile now. I just wanted to say thanking for the vids I take mental notes and all I do is watch you and other mechanic videos. Thanks again for inspiring me.
Thanks for watching man!! Keep it up!
No way. I’m 16 and I’m selling my big turbo 1999 saab 9-3 se to get a built fox body😂😂
@@fxstlxne751 follow me on insta, its braedendunn 24 something, just look for a hunting rifle pict
Randy I am 65 years old I am on my 3rd deferlator I am dissabled i love to watch you videos. Gives me something to do thanks buddy
I'm 36 on my 3rd pacemaker/ defibrillator. I broke my first one at 26yr about 6 months after having it. Then my second one last 9 years. Got my third one almost a year ago.
“We’ll try to diagnose what’s wrong with the engine in this car”. I think the problem with the engine.....is the previous owner😂
I am however very envious of your garage setup. Very nice indeed.👍
You have a very good point. The previous owner didn't know what he/she was doing.
It may be a pain in the A** but I think it would be great content to fix this engine and take us along for the ride.
That’s what I thought
It needs rings in number 8 and the cylinder honing out, it’s an engine out job and it needs head gasket on that side, Charge oil and put it back together, Send it back through the auction, Unless you want to do the work on it,
one of those plugs is for engine coolant temp sensor (ECT). and the other for intake air temp sensor (IAT). That should be on intake plenum near the throttle body.
Randy, man, my heart broke for you in the first minutes of this video. Like another sub, I'm 65 and semi-retired from serving as a pastor in the Southern Baptists. I've heard of, and been subjected to accusations like you describe. One thing I have learned is that in cases like yours is that defending against attacks like “ your not a good friend” is useless. You know the truth and Weirdbeard and people who know you knows the truth, and the people making attacks like this really don't matter. I've learned to consider the source.
Oh yeah, as a former gear-head I love your channel. I say “former” because a 5 year battle with Parkinson's disease has taken care of that. Watching your videos allows me to twist wrenches, if nothing else, in my mind. Keep up the good work. God bless.
We are all behind you man. You are right, move this one through the auction. Lessons learned!
The previous owner was probably so relieved to see the back of that car. If it wasn't for youtube this car would have been parted out.
I've put hundreds of thousands of miles on Fox 5.0s in that same condition and even worse.
Thanks for giving Mike the lift . That was nice of you. You are a good dude😀👍
Hope to see you make more content with this car, it's why I subscribed to your channel!
I would also like to put in a word for how Randy treats his friends. No matter what, Randy will try his hardest to help his friends! He always says "If you need help on anything just let me know", now I haven't really need help yet, but he has helped me build a channel that is bigger then I would have ever imagined, he has looked at cars at copart and told me to stay away because that's what he would do, I could go on and on but I mean come on people. So, I would say Randy has our backs as friends do!
Randy, that oil was full of metallic flakes (hence the silver color) and in my opinion it’s never worth modifying a car with structural rust issues. I would send it back to auction
Yeah this one is a catastrophe waiting to happen
Saw the same. Somebody had no idea what they were doing when reassembling the engine and car once it was taken apart. I don't see anything done right anywhere so far. It was a failed project car, sorry.
There is no way he put $8,000.00 in that engine
Heck..Send it to the junk yard! I wouldn’t want anyone else having to deal with that headache!
Let’s gooo!! I love that fox body!! That wildfire lift is awesome!! Have a great day randy!
Thanks! You too!
This in my opinion is good youtube content. It will return to auction in a few weeks anyways. Please do the work that is in your mind on this engine regardless of cylinder 8. The content and knowledge value is just astounding. RANDY KEEP DOIN THE GOOD WORK MAN!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good lord!!!!!! Hi Randy, I must say that your videos are entertaining to watch, Keep the videos coming..
I would hook everything up, new oil, etc and see if it runs better if it doesn't then send it back to auction like you said at the end of the video. I wouldn't try to do anything major.
This mustang looks like ready to fly and also ready to get you some speeding tickets :)
Yeah, definitely Randy also liked the wheels on the Fox Mustang so he should swap them with the white Mustang if these would fit on that would be sweet and then, send this Fox Mustang to other auction-yard pity the body looked straight outside and nice clean interior but sadly it looks like is a rusty-bucket..
More content during my Covid-19 hospitalization. Thank you Randy, be safe out there
Hope ur well 🙏🏾
Randy is a great guy. He would do any thing for his friends. Randy thank you for the great channel and your hard work brother. Excessive amounts could be bad as this would be ring blow by and not valve seals. Also a leakdown test will show what cylinders are bad. Not like a compression test. I had a engine once with 4 broken rings and it didn't even run bad just smoked. Good Luck. I have heard of deleting the PCV causing bad ring sealing because the loss of vacuum inside the block. Some bigger cams with low vacuum have same problem and run a belt driven vacuum pump.
I used a four post for a couple of years never bolted it to the ground even left the car on it to move it around because it had the casters to move it around the shop
That oil is gray you got gas mixing in the pan I’d say pull the motor one of the cylinders is washed out needs a rebuild
An engine rebuild would make this channel more attractive, but I guess Randy is not ready for it. Bring Weird Beard and as a engine guy lunar outlaw; rebuild it and make something unique like "frankenstein" it to Mercury Capri/Mexico Mustang and this project will find a million viewers
@@whistlingdiesel I think an engine rebuild would be great content so I agree with you. But I noticed if a car turns into too much work, or too much in repair he ditches them. When I ask him why he wastes money on some of these clunkers...he comments..well this car is making great video content so it is NOT about the money but the content. So I am confused about his logic or reasoning. Randy is like the wind...changes direction without rhyme or reason. LOL!!
@@khalidedros743 I would normally agree with you but.... Randy told me one time..." I do this for video content"....so it is NOT the money being wasted on this car. If it makes good video content...he does not really care about losing money on a car. I will say this...the mustang is good video content but I think he is at the point that it is too much work. You can rebuild a 302 engine fairly cheap and we have all seen him waste more money on a worse clunker than this fox body. so this is not about the money or video content...it is about him not wanting to do the work. I have worked on fox bodies...they are fairly easy to fix and repair. someone has put a lot of money into this engine.
I thought I saw a small crack on cylinder 6 or 7 also while watching the video. I’m no engine builder but cylinder 8 seems to be shot. It’s still not as bad as the car wizards v12 jag eBay buy that thing was horrible 😂
That oil is full of bearing material don't run the motor anymore or your going to spin a bearing and destroy something
The best way to minimize crankcase vapor pressure - blow-by - is to seal the engine as efficiently as possible from cylinder pressure. One way is to minimize ring end gaps by custom setting the end gaps on the top two rings to fit the way the engine will be run.
You should not worry too much about the comment mate .. you will always have some crazy pals that think they know it all anywhere in the world... love the life that TH-cam is giving you and enjoy the trail...
THAT CYLINDER IS TOAST GOOD LUCK....LOVE THE SHOW...
Saw excessive gap between piston and cylinder wall on #8.
You an mike are great friends look out for each other you done good buddy
I think you should box it up and take it back to the auction. I appreciate your videos and learn a lot from them. Thanks!
Looks like two separate problems to me. With how baked those plugs are, looks like its been run hot. Or run hard. That score on 8 could be alot of your oil problem. Maybe badly installed or clearanced rings. It doesn't look like it was built very long ago, so I doubt wear is a big factor. Maybe the valley gasket failed which introduced fuel into that cylinder. Washing it and causing your blow by. Just a guess. I'd remove the intake, I feel like you'll find your problem there, or at least be able to see it from there.
I say rings could also be a valve issue and or intake. Some pistons appear they may be washed down. It may be minor money but you really need to inspect cylinder walls to see if block is good. If bad Short blocks are cheap, you got a decent deal on the car so it's hard to tell. There is also that frame rust (almost forgot) but might not be to hard to repair. Would make for some nice videos. Folks love fox bodies and so should you( I know the vid is old and things have already been done) just adding my 2 cents
Thanks Randy for the great content, your channel has become one of my favs!
Pro tip from Randy. It worked. So worth its weight in gold. Love the boroscope pics.
I’m with Paul! Take this thing back to the auction yesterday!!
I miss the og aar intro.
Great video!!!!!!!!
I sell lifts for a living. Multiple companies that offer 4 post lifts offer casters so you can move them.
Big fan of your channel Randy. This is a no brainer in my mind. I don't see any reason to go any further with this car. I'm a Mustang fan but there are just too many issues. You would sink way more into it than it would ever be worth. The auction would be your best option. I'd put it back together, spend a little time cleaning it up so it'll present itself well and send it back to Copart.
Love the lift that you installed. I installed one in my garage (different brand but very similar) a few years ago and it has paid for itself numerous times based on the amount of work I've done with it.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to many more videos.
Randy you and weird beard helping each other out is awesome good friends are hard to come by enjoy guys.
keep it man, dont listen to these guys. would be a really cool car. weld patches to those strut towers and fix the engine. or find a bare block and rob the internals from the engine in it, and build another one super cheap. would be a cool one for the channel. after all, you are auto auction REBUILDS arent ya? haha.
Send it...
Sad but...
If you had an emotional attachement its one thing..but you don't...
Send it.
As soon as u said go watch VGG I instantly liked this video. I LOVE VGG. Derick is awesome and funny af. I love u channel n the content. Ur more down to earth n like us. Love the content plz keep it up!!! N keep being a good dude. That's how it should be, exp with us car guys. 1 hamd washes the other!!!!
Randy ignore the haters heck if they watch you any at all they would know how good of a friend you are. They would also notice how good of friends you and Wierd Beard truly are. Again forget the haters. Great video
It's the ring's it looks like the rings are cracked.
“Looks like a broke ring in number 8
My guess was rings were improperly installed or not seated.
Yep, 32:18, it looks like the ring disintegrated
Love the Vice Grip Garage love for you too do crossover videos with other shows
Come on Randy stand up to the Challenge. I had a 1995 Mustang GT and I did a head and intake swap and a few years later I pulled the engine and put in a 331 stroker short block and transferred the top end onto the stroker block. Learned a lot on my project.
rings wasnt gaped right , ring gap closed when it got hot and the ring broke the top of the piston and...... blow-by city , happens a lot in built engines , people often neglect ring gap when beefing up they make ring files for this , all the metal in the oil is the bits of the piston that broke off , I'm 90% sure this is what happen . you might of got lucky and it didnt destroy the cylinder wall , but you going to have to open it up and find out . you might be just looking at a head gasket ,a piston . dingleball hone , and fingers crossed the other rings was gaped correctly . blew up a 350 small block going supercharged when i was a youngster same thing . but i put parts all over the road when she came apart , you might of got lucky . either way that is a nice V 7 ford hehehe , hope it can be fixed . i bet she be a ripper in a V8 version .
I bet it was running nos and burnt the rings out
@@stevenplaskett7728 my guess it was running it lean after the rebuild before having it dialed in . rings got hot swelled the gap , pop goes the piston , knew it was done said eff it and sent it to auction to recover the some of the loss . could of happened on the dyno if the operator was careless .
@@stevenplaskett7728 i wasnt so lucky when it happened to me , i sent parts out the block and oil pan . made a hell of a mess
That's exactly what I was thinking, end gap was wrong broke the ring, scored the cylinder wall.
The engine inside at first looked like it was just built yesterday on the first cylinder.
I agree. Everyone says take it back to auction.....it may not have had the first oil change yet. Always gonna have metal in the first two oil changes.
@@wesleyfindley1779 0He definitely has to sort it. running it through the auction would not make it a very interesting series of videos. Especially since the engine already has so many parts.
@@LuisLopez522 exactly what I’m thinking
28:15 ... I appreciate that you had the common courtesy to give us a quick workaround :-)
What a great friend is Weird Beard Who would not install the lift you gave him until he was sure you had a Lift installed in your shop. Now that's respect. As far as the Foxbody I agree move it down the road Via Auction.
Randy it looked like one of the pistons said .030 on it
Love vice grip garage!
Honestly Randy, if the mustang is just going to stress you out and give you a headache, just send it back through the auction. It seems like you have already lost interest in it before you have even really torn into it. I think that is your answer right there. You really said it best yourself in one of your other videos. You said that there is always another car. That is really the truth. Hopefully I was able to help you with your decision. Keep up the great content!
we are all flawed. a few things you've said over the hundreds of hours ive watched definitely rubbed me the wrong way, but overall i gotta lotta love for ya randy! i look forward to your videos every single day man. you genuinely do read comments too! I've received likes on them from you a lot considering many other youtubers dont even bother with the majority of em. God bless bro.
Hey when I listening when you had the scope download the number 8 cylinder I think it was it look like the Piston was stamped 30 over he definitely should just yank it out and tear the motor down then you know what you got.. and why you have the motor out You can fix the shock towers that are rotted..
Perfect time to do a collaboration with Derek from vice grip garage and do a budget engine build.
Listen bro quit paying attention to the negative comments. Your good dude everybody knows that so keep doing you building the cars that you do
I support those sentiments about Mr. Mike.
Indeed he is a funny n cool dude to know n work with...say hey to him Randy.
they make repair parts for those strut towers
Keep fixing it up randy! more views and revenue for your channel!
I am glad you and weird beard are such good friends. Hope weird beard can get the lift installed soon. You have a lot of good friends from everything I can see on your channel.
I have really been looking forward to watching you wrench this Mustang. I would like to see a compression check and see what the cylinders are at. With the front end rusting away put it back into the auction but first get rid of that green paint on the engine, paint them blue so they match the hoses. That rust is a killer.
I agree. I like them with a carb setup. What is cool though, is the FAST EFI setup! It would be cool if you could get FAST to sponsor you.
light green with yellow strip is the coolant temp connector
The guy that owned this car always believed that “cross threading is better than Loctite”
A cross threaded bolt is the tightest both of all
@@anselpeneloperainblossom-s3489 Start the bolt with an impact wrench, and zero Fs given!
Shop is looking great, Randy!
That old shop was the worst: flooding, weirdo landlord, crack head stealing your trailer, etc.
The 302 engine cylinder numbers go as follows passenger side starting at the front to back 1,2,3,4 driver side of engine front to back 5,6,7,8. I wish I lived close by you I would be more than happy to give you a hand. The Fox Body Mustangs are really easy to work on and easy to pull the engine.
Runaway!!! I've had the same experience! 😀😐 love your channel.
I just cant get over the way you walk into the camera now lmaoo shits hilarious
Cool.
Some unsolved mysteries type shit 🤣🤣🤣
Sending love and respect from Boston 💯💖💙🙏🙏
I love these videos
One is temp and the other the intake air temp someone has changed the intake to a newer intake
No, its an 87, so what the previous owner did was convert it from SD to mass-air.
Been waiting to see how this goes. I have an e30 and a questionable affinity for boxy cars of the late 80s early 90s. Been looking for a rust free 5.0 for a while
Good luck unless ur spending like 8k
Keep looking!! 😂
great car part for another solid body
I have a 93 stang with 2 4 barrel carbs. I love this car and wouldn’t have it any other way. Wish u luck with yours
Save it, it's good content
Go carb it’s super simple to swap and you’ll have less headaches chasing down issues with the efi on those cars I have a 94 gt and it ran like garbage with the efi and the auto I put a carb with a 5 speed in it and it’s beautiful now I’m in the process of building a 351w bored .040 over for it to eventually swap
Yes going to a carb will save you so much headache. Ford's ECUs are hard to tune even into 2010 Mustangs and crownvics it's very hard to do any tuning
Personally, I would love to see Randy do an engine build one of these days, just because I believe with his commentary it would be more than a little entertaining, but not positive the fox body is the one. I think though, very first thing I'd do before spending one more dime is to put that sucker up on the lift, and check out the rest of the underside... The strut towers and K member are common rust areas for those, but would make sure there's not a ton of other frame surprises lurking. I can say, whatever Randy does with this car, a few hundred thousand others and I will be watching... Because that's what true fans do!
In addition to my comment since that got cut off, the worst I'd do is, hook up as much of the Missing stuff as you can find, try to find the correct bolts for that intake, or if those are right, tap the bolt holes to clean the threads up before putting it back together, give it a nice detail for retail, you know... People pay for pretty paint, and shove it right back through the auction!
Rings weren't gapped on that cylinder, if the grooves are too deep it's not going to be a quick fix.
If the crank and rods are alright you might be able to bore the cylinders and get some pistons and rings and put it back together.
Either way you have some work ahead of you.
Hope it works out for you brother.
Either way it's great content and your making it so we can follow along really good. Nice job 👍
You both are good friends randy because if your a “bad” friend then weird beard is also a “bad” friend
Seen you on vice grips live stream came to check your channel out
Thanks man I appreciate that!

Good luck randy with the pony you can do it no dought take care buddy
Good job thank you for sharing
I would send it back to the auction
Would love to see what's really wrong with that car!
I started watching this channel because of the Vette and mustang, I love 70s and 80s muscle cars I don’t think I’m the only one and when I click on them cars the view are always pretty good even if the video aren’t that great, I’d like to see this car ripp one last time
Yeah back to the auction
Hey Randy you don't know anybody an explanation the bearded one is my professor!
Someone was trying to make a Street Outlaw car and had no idea what they were doing. They just wanted to be cool and go hang out with the guys and pretend to be a racer.
Ya that ford screams ricer
Or maybe it had a blower or something that was “salvaged” prior to dumping the car on the auctions.
@@troynutter8902 I'm guessing nitrous.
Nitrous it would be very clean in cylinders.
Street outlaws are pretend street racers. They race on close course and prep everything.
Explain yourself to no one keep doing your thing respect from Scotland 🏴
First thing, Randy - a difficult decision to make regarding just how much you want to pour into this beasty. You're at that crossroads where you decide whether to try to recover your losses or bite the bullet and commit to getting into it for the long haul. Been there myself several times and when I stepped back and had a long look at one particular restoration project I had, I realised that I would be putting more money into the car than it would ever hope to value out at unless I held onto the car for another 20 years. There was also work on it that I would either have to learn to do or pay someone else to perform - so more costs either way. Because I would be doing it up for myself, spending the money to make it right wasn't a problem, but I then happened to see a more realistic project that I knew I could cope with doing the work on much easier (ie: all by my own hand) and although the car cost more up front, I did not have so much to fix on it.
In the end I lost a few hundred dollars on the other project when I sold it on, but I saved several thousand overall on parts AND about 200 man hours of labour that I still have not used on its replacement. My advice therefore is unless you are going to keep this as your own vehicle and especially if you are going to have to get other people to do some of the work needed to bring her up to scratch, sell it on. There will be another one more suited to your abilities, time and budget that will come along......always!
In regard to the plugs, I agree - they all look pretty good except #8. Sure - they have signs that the injectors need sorting and they aren't perfect, but they look ok. When you stuck the scope down the bore of each cylinder, it showed that the engine has definitely had work done. The bore still has honing marks and the pistons are clean on top.........all except #8. Two things can cause that scoring - one is the gudgeon pin (the rod that holds the conrod in the piston body through the little end) or the circlip that holds the gudgeon in place at that end, and the other is a broken ring. Of the causes, a broken ring is more likely and the worst case scenario is that little bits of metal will have likely gone all through the bearings. If oil pressure is near immediate and a fair way up the gauge when cold (and still good when warm) then the bearings are fine.
A broken ring would account for the scoring, the massive blow-by (and that it "chuffed" the blow-by regularly on one particular cylinder), the smoke, the regular misfire, the oily plug and the fuel ending up in the sump oil. My guess is the oil master (bottom ring) has broken and just ripped the crap out of the bore. The cause? Well, looking at the evidence, I would say the engine was rebuilt (or at least put together) by a novice and that they forgot to gap the rings (or left them too long) before fitment.
Sometimes in this case the ring stresses will sort themselves out and sometimes the rings break. It was either that or he gave it too much loud pedal before the engine was properly bedded in and things got a bit overstressed.....but as the engine shows no internal signs of a fresh rebuild being caned, I am picking it being the rings gapped wrong and the oil ring being the one that went sayonara.
Now....if he made that mistake on one cylinder, chances are he did it on all of them, but you would have to pull #8 piston and look at the other rings to hazard a guess. If you were very lucky, the score marks would hone out and the rings and piston would be able to cope with any additional size in the bore. You may also have to replace that one piston if the bits of broken ring have eaten into that as well (which is quite likely as the piston metal is softer than the bore).
The more that engine runs, the more damage it will do, so if you are leaving well enough alone and putting it back in the auctions when she's back together, fire the engine to bring up oil pressure after the oil change and to test your fixes on other areas, but don't drive it anywhere and don't rev it out to anywhere near its limit. Me? I'd be tempted to pull #8, clean up the bore and thrown a new piston (if needed) and rings in before I sent it back. If she stops smoking, runs better and the blow-by goes away, she should fetch good money again - and she does have the looks, so people will just want to make sure she runs ok.
Good luck, mate - I'm rooting for ya!
This car brings content work on it
Time to cut your loss and send it back to the auction
I put plugs and wires in a 2000 Suburban with angle plugs.
The plug on the passenger side rear (4 or 8) was a wooleybooger to do!
I think that would be the right thing to do good luck
That looked like some scaring in that one cylinder.
It kinda looked like the piston chattered up and down the cylinder wall.
@@77yogurt maybe. It also could have a burnt ring or a broken ring. Who know. Lol
I'd send this back to auctions ASAP.
Yes Sir..
DUMB FU JUST GONNA SEND IT ITS FINE just needs a valve job
Send it here I'll take it. Lol
Id keep it
Sending back to auction.
Go Carb. I have an 87IROC with a 383 build and at first with it being fuel injected it was impossible to tune and make reliable. Switched to carb and cost less, easier to run and if there is an issue, tweak it with your screwdriver.
I think you should keep it, rebuild it, and take it to the drag strip before you sell it. You should be able to make great money for content. Or sell it to me. Lol
My mind say sell it but my heart say noooooooo 😆😞
Hey Randy👍
That Mustang is toast. Two different paint colours overcoated with matt black and zero prep is classic bodged wreck repair. Be interesting to see what colour the shell is under the carpets🤔
If you can get the engine running right, happy days, but the state of that front end??? Best off slapping it back together and dumping it where you found it... Or scrap it along with the Bonnekart, the red 'Vette and the Toyota. Tidy that yard up a bit 😉
You could find someone needing transport and gift them the Tempo whilst you're at it. Clear some space for the Impala when you eventually win it🤔
Then buy that SSR😎
