“Free” is the best part. Like nope, probably one of the most expensive oil pans in his collection to date 😂 such a sick engine though, I would have been just as excited as him for sure.
Tommy has managed to maintain being the only automotive youtuber with the ability to keep my attention thru the whole video. No skipping......He also seems to be one of the only automotive youtubers actually finishing cars and not only finishing them on a timely basis, but also putting more attention into them than most cars that attend SEMA. Kudos Tommy
Right?! Tommy is (BY FAR) my favorite automotive TH-camr for all the reasons you mentioned plus the fact that he is the only one that is real and not putting on a show.
Watching a bit further and had to make another comment. Mer is putting in WORK. The B-roll and quiet shots where you can hear the work being done are super soothing. Some of my favorite parts of the videos.
*Josh* is a technician.... a craftsman.. an artist.. You never see him wielding a huge impact around the engine like a fucking baboon (like other channels/people) Respect
Did you notice when he put the brake fluid reservoir on he kept it in the bag, all so he didn't get grease from his hands on it. Man has very high standards that we're all learning from
As a tech I can tell you, Josh isn't using power tools simply because he's being paid for that higher standard of quality. If he had to work in a normal repair or body shop in CT, he would be using power tools on everything, no doubt about it.
I've been watching for a few years now and I have to say this might be one of my favorite videos you've put out. This editing is on point in the assembly/disassembly process, perfection.
Watching Josh work is so satisfying, especially watching everything get torqued to spec. I don't know why but it's very therapeutic and I could watch hours of it.
What a baller setup! The quality is on point. You can tell Tommy and Josh make a great team. Tommy has the attention for detail and Josh is like that old school jdm mechanic that just uses hand tools and literally torques everything. What an awesome build!
I was about to comment on josh not using dielectric grease on the coil boots but then he explained about not installing the plugs. Never forget anti seize on the plugs and dielectric grease on the boots/wires boys and girls
Damn watching Josh work is art man good shit. Made me laugh when he put it together because he knew that engine was gonna look dope. Can't wait to see the final product
Ben with his Duck Dynasty cammo! Rumour is he has a “hide” out the back of the shop and he’s sitting patiently chewing away waiting for his chance to get Rudnik between the eyes!
When Josh was applying the permatex to the oil pan why did he switch from inside the bolts to outside? Wont that let oil seep through the threads on the few he switched sides on?
The reason being is the studs that pass through are sealed. So outside around studs is the way also following every oil pan I have cleaned and removed. I never have leaks.
@@shokunin_era Ahh okay makes a little more sense now! I just noticed the different sides for the those few and was curious! Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Josh could do this in his sleep by now.... Tommy: (immediately points to brushed on paint and run's on a 40k engine) The attention to detail, thank's HKS...
That was one of your best thumbnails so far! What a cool engine to have from HKS! Was wondering where the engine slingers attach, thanks pulling my RB26 in the next few weeks. That Remade in USA ITB kit is 🔥🔥🔥
Who remembers the day Josh pulled up outside the old shop, Tommy said I have spent time convincing Josh to move here and I have big plans things will move forward you will see soon. Guess what Tommy had bigger plans than most thought and Josh was his ACE, Tommy knows his stuff and what he wants, Josh can see Tommy's vision and make it work.
Getting Josh was probably the smartest thing you ever could've ever done. He's not the biggest talker but his attention to detail and how he works really is awesome to watch!
Im going to say this again so it echos josh is an amazing mechanic the attention to detail is insane with the help of tommy planning you guys rock now if i could just afford to get a skyline i literally drool over the cars you guys build thanks for the entertainment ever since i joined Nov 26, 2012 thanks to the whole crew
Gheeeez, super perfection! Tommy, Josh and company will soon be picked up by network TV for a series. What we're witnessing here is, top tier restoration!🔥🔥🔥
Can I just say how fucking awesome this whole thing has turned into I remember the chop shop days and the badass builds u did to now seeing you build a gtr restoration shop and just how professional and great the builds are. I’m so proud and happy I got to watch the come up please keep up the great work and I truly can’t wait to see just how far u take it!
The RTV on the pan started off as inside the bolt/studs, then went outside for the last 1/4 of the pan wouldn't this leak around that hardware? Awesome built none the less...just something I saw.
Not at all. The purpose is to maintain as centered of a compressed bead as possible based on install regardless of where it is. Studs are sealed and my pans don't leak.
Please for the love of god keep doing videos exactly like this, watching all the shiny zinc and new parts go on an engine most of us dream about while Phil Murr records.... absolutely fucking insane!
really enjoying your videos, love your style,,,, question: which is the best remote oil filter assy...?? and what can I do to keep it from leaking around the hose threads..?? other than teflon tape. which doesnt really work.
I never used to be a JDM guy, especially since I worked at GM Oshawa. But after watching hours and hours of Tommy's videos I have been converted. You're an inspiration Tommy!
had a similar experience to you guys saying the pistons are in a box outside of the engine, i got a built ej25 from a engine builder here in sydney, and i opened up a spare box with 4 pistons rings in it and freaked out thinking they assembled the short block without the rings 🤣
Tommy is restoring these cars better then Omori Factory IMO. They are combing the reliability of factory with trusted and proven aftermarket upgrades. The attention to detail is insane. Tommy has the same attention to detail in sourcing and procuring parts that Josh has in building them. Its the perfect balance and they are putting out some incredible cars.
You can match that paint on the valve covers pretty easy your paint rep can come out and take pictures upload to your computer and your painter should know how to tint to dial it in
Your vid’s motivate me to do restoration or just specialize on bmw z3s. I had one but sadly got wrecked and I loved the car since and still do. Junk be hella dope with an rb
Tommy, you should run a carbon fiber coil cover with a HKS badge. You should also convince Bowman to strip down the block to be Jet Hot coated since it has runs.
Is there a reason he went on the outside of some of the bolt holes with rtv. Really does no good in it’s not on the oil side of the pan from dripping out the bolt?
I'm surprised Josh didn't use an adjustable wrench for the HKS assembly. I hear it's much easier.
Rounded off nuts n bolts give that lil extra custom look 👌🏼
@@aceburgers8801 exactly, it brings out new metal from underneath
circle bolts are a new sema trend this year no more hex shaped botls
Rounded bolts = weight reduction
🤣
I love how stoked they are about the "free" R33 oil pan on a 40k engine 😂
With paint runs 🤣
“Free” is the best part. Like nope, probably one of the most expensive oil pans in his collection to date 😂 such a sick engine though, I would have been just as excited as him for sure.
Free $200 oil pan isnt so bad lol
Shart

I could not have said it better myself.
I mean people are paying him to do these builds so I'd hope they be done in a timely manner. But you are right.
So true! I’m glad I started watching his videos again.
Naa. His shit is trash
I just realized how little Josh uses power/pneumatic tools. he takes so much care and time with his work, so awesome
Tommy knows how to pick em
yurrrr🔥
TBH it shouldnt be surprising on 40K engine build or the cars they work on.
a lot of mechanics would probably use less power tools but customers don't want to pay for the time usually.
He never seems to be rushing to get things done, just does it correctly.
Wow.. I have no words. Phill killed it, Josh killed it, and 20 minutes seemed like 5.
So proud, you all deserve it!
If this was an hour and a half long watching him work, I’d watch the hell out of it.
Absolutely 💯% true 👍!!
Watching Josh assemble that RB with the music playing softly in the background was relaxing
Watching a bit further and had to make another comment. Mer is putting in WORK. The B-roll and quiet shots where you can hear the work being done are super soothing. Some of my favorite parts of the videos.
You mean ✨ glamour ✨
My hears where nutting on that B-roll
Having the filmer is probably the best move tommy has made for his videos. Dude kills it.
Mike take notes
@@maldenfoster 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈lmfao
Absolutely love seeing the filmer film josh doing what he does best, more of this PLEASE
Wins at Martinsville this weekend and Tommy gets his engine in to start his build. Good week for Bowman.
*Josh* is a technician.... a craftsman.. an artist..
You never see him wielding a huge impact around the engine like a fucking baboon (like other channels/people)
Respect
Not even using an electric ratchet just his hands, ratchets, and a torque wrench.
My guy Josh is the machine.
Did you notice when he put the brake fluid reservoir on he kept it in the bag, all so he didn't get grease from his hands on it. Man has very high standards that we're all learning from
As a tech I can tell you, Josh isn't using power tools simply because he's being paid for that higher standard of quality. If he had to work in a normal repair or body shop in CT, he would be using power tools on everything, no doubt about it.
Cool to know josh really is never “working” since he loves what he is doing
I've been watching for a few years now and I have to say this might be one of my favorite videos you've put out. This editing is on point in the assembly/disassembly process, perfection.
I wanna see Josh's old civic get the fyeah treatment...
You know he deserves it and it would be cool to watch...
Episdodes like this make me feel like I’m watching a professionally filmed TV show
I can't see a big wood crate without thinking there's a leg lamp in it
Can we see Lee's car in the sun?
Watching Josh work on an engine / engine bay is just pure bliss! The dude knows his shit!
Love watching a master mechanic at work and being able to hear all the little clicks of the rachet and spanners is different and I love it.
Watching Josh work is so satisfying, especially watching everything get torqued to spec. I don't know why but it's very therapeutic and I could watch hours of it.
What a baller setup! The quality is on point. You can tell Tommy and Josh make a great team. Tommy has the attention for detail and Josh is like that old school jdm mechanic that just uses hand tools and literally torques everything. What an awesome build!
I love watching Josh work. All hand tools, no cross threaded, rounded, overtight, stripped hardware anywhere. Really, a true master of the craft.
I was about to comment on josh not using dielectric grease on the coil boots but then he explained about not installing the plugs. Never forget anti seize on the plugs and dielectric grease on the boots/wires boys and girls
Phil does a great job on those glamor shots!😂 that engine is epic. Can’t wait to get my hands on an rb lol
The clips of the engine being built and the music playing in the background is amazing. Could watch hours of that shit
Watching Josh building up the engine from the short block is like therapy!😍
Extremely happy to hear about the plans on your 32. Been wondering for a while what the plan was
I'm so fucking stoked for his 32! It's gonna be immaculate
This was one of the most satisfying videos on this channel. I can watch josh work for days. The man does great work!
Tommys famous line “ it doesnt come with it but we have 3 on a shelf”
Lol
B-Roll assembly footage was insane. Excellent content lately
This was one of the most satisfying videos that I've watched on this channel. We're fortune to see Josh and his craftsmanship.
Dang, that is such a baller move with that motor. Even the port block-offs are dope.
Damn watching Josh work is art man good shit. Made me laugh when he put it together because he knew that engine was gonna look dope. Can't wait to see the final product
God damn dude. Josh is such a fucking beast! A mechanic with a temperament of an artist.
Ben with his Duck Dynasty cammo!
Rumour is he has a “hide” out the back of the shop and he’s sitting patiently chewing away waiting for his chance to get Rudnik between the eyes!
Josh has the best job. Work on nice cool cars that people care about and get to take his time doing it

some of the most satisfying car content on YT. Both Josh and your attention to detail is insane.
Josh could do this in his sleep by now....

INSANE!! pure car PORN! I suggest you get fyea spec badges and sign every car that you build and number them .. GREAT work as always!!!
Getting Josh was probably the smartest thing you ever could've ever done. He's not the biggest talker but his attention to detail and how he works really is awesome to watch!

Not just any Jiffylube.

Not at all. The purpose is to maintain as centered of a compressed bead as possible based on install regardless of where it is. Studs are sealed and my pans don't leak.
The rtv for the oil pan was applied incorrectly. Should be applied inboard of the bolts. Outboard will cause leaks.
Studs are sealed. Inside there isn't the same contact. My oil pans don't leak.
This video is dope. Excellent editing and music. Sick asf HKS engine. Josh, one of the most legit car guys on YT putting it together.
Just purchased an r32 with a vcam. Built by up garage in like 2018, diagnosing a few issues and hopefully getting it running good. Love the vid!
Love how Josh is so peaceful installing everything. Tommy BEST BUILD. Looking forward to your build ✌🏻
Note the dude doesnt use air tools, or battery powered impacts... all hand tools and torque wrench to finish.
Bowman’s GTR is gonna fuck
I have to say it again, the satisfaction that this assembly causes is unreal!
The satisfaction of hand tightening new hardware into clean threads, insert angels
This is one of the hardest videos you guys have came out with! Props to camera man 👌🏼
Shoutout Bowman for the win this week. Grats dude.
Please for the love of god keep doing videos exactly like this, watching all the shiny zinc and new parts go on an engine most of us dream about while Phil Murr records.... absolutely fucking insane!
Josh might be the most patient person I've ever seen.
As someone who builds my own engines, nothing makes me feel better than seeing all those bolts getting put in with fingers instead of power tools 🙏
7:28 that little extra spin to spread the application is 🔥🔥🔥
You’re doing big things Tommy, definitely love watching you and Josh making dreams come true !!!!
I like how Josh uses normal tools and not battery stuff all the time
really enjoying your videos, love your style,,,,
question: which is the best remote oil filter assy...?? and what can I do to keep it from leaking around the hose threads..?? other than teflon tape. which doesnt really work.
Josh's workmanship is incredible 👌👍
Long time viewer and I want to say it's nice to see how far you've come. Love the videos more and more. Keep kicking ass 🤘🤘
Josh is a full blown Takumi .. American takumi
I never used to be a JDM guy, especially since I worked at GM Oshawa. But after watching hours and hours of Tommy's videos I have been converted. You're an inspiration Tommy!
Yeah, LZ might have bought the enthusiast version of Disneyland, but I'd rather hang out here for a day. I could learn SO much from these guys.
Tommy's block deserves that turbo he's been hiding away 👀$3000 KAI I'm on to you bro lol
had a similar experience to you guys saying the pistons are in a box outside of the engine, i got a built ej25 from a engine builder here in sydney, and i opened up a spare box with 4 pistons rings in it and freaked out thinking they assembled the short block without the rings 🤣

Tommy has the same attention to detail in sourcing and procuring parts that Josh has in building them. Its the perfect balance and they are putting out some incredible cars.
I started having PTSD flashbacks watching Josh do the turbo water and oil lines. I did mine while everything was still in the car lmfao NEVER AGAIN.
You guys should do a full cinematic engine build start to finish. Those shots of the Rb28 were absolutely sick!
And people called Picassos shit art, what josh does is real art 🔥🔥
Very cool to see your getting one of the HKS engines in your r32! 🔥🔥
I thought the ARP assembly lube went on the contact surface of the bolt itself. Not on the threads?
Where does one find one of these "Joshes"? Dude Tommy, Josh is a craftsman just having such a blast building these beauties
You can match that paint on the valve covers pretty easy your paint rep can come out and take pictures upload to your computer and your painter should know how to tint to dial it in
Tommy I recommend using ACF50 as anti corrosion compound to spray overy everything to protect that sweet HKS setup
Seeing Tom saying "Skyline brothers" was funny as hell idk why it sounds so weird coming from him lmfao
I could watch josh assemble motors for hours on end
So your client wants a “ Dusty “ but in FYEAH spec.. I can dig it ✌🏽
The coated hardware really does make the engine pop 🔥
🔥The HKS Gods have spoken🔥 "angel sound" lol Hell yea, so sick cant wait to see it in the bay.
I hope you get to interview Alex on here he's my favorite driver this year with 4 wins jeep up the fire 🔥 content Tommy
Any estimates on how much to get some hardware zinc-plated and where I would go to have it done?
Josh is the man he's so good at what he does and takes his time great work good on Yas
16:50 isnt oil going to leak from the bolt holes?
I commented the same. It leaks on SRs for sure but I'm not familar with RB
Your vid’s motivate me to do restoration or just specialize on bmw z3s. I had one but sadly got wrecked and I loved the car since and still do. Junk be hella dope with an rb
Why did Josh switch sides of the oil pan bolts he was doing the RTV on? The first ones were on the inside, the second shot they were on the outside.
Studs are sealed into the pan and bolts are not. Factory applies RTV on outside of studs
@@shokunin_era 16:45 is what I'm talking about.
THE LACK OF POWER TOOLS 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Josh kills it!!!! TommyFreshhh. You have done a great channel bro!!! Great stuff. One of a kind.
Tommy, you should run a carbon fiber coil cover with a HKS badge. You should also convince Bowman to strip down the block to be Jet Hot coated since it has runs.
Is there a reason he went on the outside of some of the bolt holes with rtv. Really does no good in it’s not on the oil side of the pan from dripping out the bolt?
Last time I was this early tommy had Audis in his shop and the og slick top for a 1j
Shout out Phil Murr for the sick b roll
You should time lapse Josh cleaning up the wiring harness
I miss the V-spec. K-miata and V-spec were my favorite builds on the channel. To think you have a Supra laying around make the possibilities insane
