The very first thing you I would have done after getting that oil pressure code. Would be removed oil pressure switch, put an analog Gage in his place. That way you can perfectly verify what is your actual oil pressure. If you don't have that you don't have anything.

2 guys putting their heads together and just sorting things out! Ryan is a legend! Great progress and now a paint guy ready to join the team! Great to see boys being boys and getting the job done! Great vid and congrats on the progress 👍
This build has so many curves and that's before the car is even on the road. A lot of people get fired up over these big jobs, and especially when it's long term job the audience has a tendency to get a little more ornery. Stay on your own pace, keep it relaxed, and work smart. You've got the sense to bring it across the line. Also, Ryan is a serious MVP. I hope you're treating this guy to numerous dinners.
Glad to hear it doesn't sound like youve got catastrophic engine problems. Best of luck going forward with the build The mechanic really knows his stuff
SHOUT OUT to Ryan what a great mind he has going through the engine in a spot on order working out the issue. Bring on the body shop!! You must be able to find a local shop that will actually paint it and if knowing you can promote them on here someone is bound to come up body shop wise.
I don't understand why you wouldn't fix the low oil pressure error first before anything order the sensor make sure that's what's wrong hook manual gauge up to it. Make sure you have oil pressure and go from there. I'm not understanding why you're ignoring that code.
@@paulhoffman6947 not ignoring it. A lot of messages behind the scenes about it, and these cars turn off if actual oil pressure is reading too low. Faulty switch just threw a code.
When he was reading the codes and stuff I believe they were getting the correct reading based on the voltage output unless I'm understanding things incorrectly for the sensor.
@@smhaceofspades2813 yeah so there were two values he was looking at to verify oil pressure was fine: there's a value for the actual pressure readout and there's the indicator from a switch. The switch was "0", but the pressure value was reading fine. Hence it's just a faulty switch.
Are you sure the dude whose shop you had it at didnt put something in your oil or gas? Kinda weird how this happens after it had been at his shop all that time..
I kinda brought that idea up last video, but I figured he wouldn't dare risk it. Imagine the lawsuit that would bring his shop since he'd know the car had only been there the entire time.
Thankfully that was fairly simple. I was getting ready for a trip a while ago. Before the trip I drained my oil catch can, and when I hooked it back up I put the lines on backwards somehow, probably because it was a little to dark. And that caused my car to smoke like crazy.
@@peterpowers4851 yeah I was on the fence. Either way works for me, I think the aftermarket one would need to be raised off the car more to look good. Can't be low profile AND look like a big wing.
Way to go Ryan!!! Really can't beat someone that knows how and why an engine behaves a certain way. All the best in getting your car painted right with respect for your time. God bless!
Woo congrats on getting the issues mostly gone!! (Also just a heads up, the black shorts look comfy but you can see what side the boys are hanging out on 😅) Let's freaking go! Can't wait to see the McClaren back road worthy!

While the exhausts and the inlet pipes are off, you could run the engine to check if you get the white smoke from just one side or both, as this will help with diagnosing the issue.
Was watching and thinking the same thing. It is also a great opportunity to check the Cats to make sure they are not blocked. There are potentially several issues that can arise because of Cat blockages including excessive wear to the turbos, poor performance, lower boost pressure and stalling/lower idle to name a few.
@@4l04ever yeah Ryan did that, I know the video is long so it's natural to skip a bit, but there is a section where he says with one side off we can see if it smokes again or not.
best of luck bro! I know what its like to work on cars that are like a Pandora's Box of endless, seemingly unsolveable problems LOL You will get all worked out...determination and a great attitude!
Great job Ryan I had my fingers crossed for you and can’t wait to see this project finished. It’s been quite a while now but keep going some people would’ve got fed up and go on the way but I’m here to support you to the end and the guy you had working on it. Obviously he knows is shit 👍
Im sooo happy for you, that the Engine is not Toast :) I searched thru our Car markets, but unfortunately similar Cars are much more expensive here, otherwise i might have taken a close look at a Mc Laren like yours :) You are a good guy!
Just finished- the oil was over filled then the refill fixed it, that was it. I’m reading people say your oil sensor is bad- FIX IT. This is a NOTORIOUS issue on Mcclarens- I own one lol
Your mechanic guy said that there is positive pressure in the cranc case caused by the pistons. That is not the as you have the same amount of pistons moving upwards as the ones moving downwards at any point in time. What the cranc case ventilation does is to apply vacuum to the cranc case to suck out any fumes and combust them completely within the cylinders. Positive cranc case pressure is prevented by check valves called PCV valves and that is necessary on turbo engines as you dont have vacuum available at all times. If that PCV is faulty then you build up cranc case pressure under boost which would case smoking like yours. So he was right when he said that if the PCVs get stuck in open position it would cause smoking like that, but not for the reason he mentioned. So you don't have a "positive cranc case ventilation" system, you have a cranc case ventilation system that only works with vacuum so you have Positive Cranc case Valves to prevent positive cranc case pressure while venting into the intake (as that would introduce oil into the intake). The cranc case ventilation system is an emission thing and your motor don't really want it, but the government do. Race cars usually don't apply vacuum to the cranc case but have a different system that vent fumes to the atmosphere instead via a catch tank and some type of filter. But that is not allowed on a street production car.
I would clean the supply lines to everything, including the turbos. Be careful not to forget to add oil to the turbo after cleaning... there is an additive you can buy and add to the turbos to protect from dry starts after removing lines
This is great news about the engine, I thought for sure it was cooked and getting the paint done first was a bad call. Although you didn't end up getting the paint done first, so.... And when you taking the plugs off the airbag when doing the clockspring, I was waiting for that explosion meme you always use. It was like Jason's version of The Bad Place. Waiting for the bass drop at a Skrillex concert, and it never comes....
2 week have past, we wait another one and start complaining! 😂 Like many of us I'm sitting on the edge of my chair watching for any progress you made. The health of the engine is certainly the most stressful part of this project ($$$$). I cross my fingers!
First thing I would have done (I was actually shouting at the screen the second I saw that smoke) is loosened the oil filler cap and sat it loosely on the fikler neck, if it dances a little bit cool if it bounces off and goes crazy too much crankcase pressure.....👍👌👍
Could still be the valve stem oil seals. Flush the feed pipes, replace the sensor and pcv system, or even the rings sadly, he said there was oil in the cylinders did he not? Well, as we know, there shouldn't be any. I would sort the above and take it for a good spanking! If it blows oil every morning, then it could be stem seals or rings.
I just started watching the video but I hope the engine issues turn out to be something simple man! I'm excited to see this car painted! You should do an update on the gallardo, it's my favorite car man I love that thing!
This happened to DDE McClaren 720 after getting it back from getting the custom body installed it's definitely heart breaking seeing these expensive cars with terribly designed engines
@@3613jeremy for sure - I think the engines are designed really well, we just see them fail more often than Toyotas because people thrash them 3 times as hard
@TheInja I'm no expert by any means but the few repair/performance shops that I've seen for the McClaren engines have stated that parts like the push rods were poorly designed causing them to slightly bend if not exit the engine through the side wall
@@3613jeremy Yeah for sure, I'm not an expert either, from real owners I know they've never had problems. I've seen that tavarish video, too. They were mainly talking about when you are trying to push the rods above stock or really abusing them.
😅 Hate it when the problem solves while it shouldn't. Direct smoke is directly burning oil in the combustion. Exhaust still cold so can't be that one. Looks like after a while still some oil collects somewhere but also could be some remaining oil in the intake /intercooler. Drive it or flush it will sort that out. Excessive crank pressure can cause the turbo seals to leak. Doesn't have to damage them. Leaks are on the intake mostly I think because the back pressure on the seals is lower than the exhaust. Oil flows right into the compressor side into the Intercooler and intake. Hopefully you already solved it some how.
Fingers are crossed but for me I definitely would pull motor and check sleeves while fixing the seal before I ever thought of a tune. Having to much oil in their is just as bad as not having enough. Doesn't take much to damage especially one with those sleeves.
PCV system, can be a bugger. Glad you fixed that issue, because blown turbo seals sucks. Had that issue on the Lambo. Looking forward to paint! Home stretch.
My R35 GTR done this smoke thing, smoked alot on start up then cleared once the oil had burnt out of the downpipe.. it turned out to be a blown turbo, had to pull the engine.
Yeah it's not like I ran it much after I got that fault, and there were a lot of messages behind the scenes to McMedics and a couple others. They said don't worry about the fault on the display too much, there's very little chance the oil pressure is actually low. And they were right!
If I am not wrong white smoke like that is useably an indication of coolant mixing with the oil. Good luck with that. Also MP4 are notorious for being unreliable.
INJ you need to take the intake pipes off the turbo's and check for impeller play and see if there is any oil in the intakes also the mclaren is notorious for the baffle in the plastic intake tubes to go brittle and break sending debri into the turbo's check that as well cheers from down under
Well looking more positive and less smokey now. Too much oil can do that so like you said maybe it will clear up as it runs and burns off the residual oil leaking into the system from being too full. I'd definitely put an analog oil pressure quage on it then replace the switch if everything is good. The codes may take care of themselves as you get everything else hooked up and the switch dealt with. Computers can get pretty wonky if they don't see the values they expect. My old ex 95 Neon coupe I used to drive frew all kinds of weird codes when the crank position sensor started cutting out when it got hot. Once I replaced it with a good one all the codes cleared out and it ran fine again hot or cold. That was a very early OBD2 car, yours is so much more complex so much more picky. I think you're on the down slope now and so close to sorting it 👍😎

The motor was blown 😮
Well looking more positive and less smokey now. Too much oil can do that so like you said maybe it will clear up as it runs and burns off the residual oil leaking into the system from being too full. I'd definitely put an analog oil pressure quage on it then replace the switch if everything is good. The codes may take care of themselves as you get everything else hooked up and the switch dealt with. Computers can get pretty wonky if they don't see the values they expect. My old ex 95 Neon coupe I used to drive frew all kinds of weird codes when the crank position sensor started cutting out when it got hot. Once I replaced it with a good one all the codes cleared out and it ran fine again hot or cold. That was a very early OBD2 car, yours is so much more complex so much more picky.
I think you're on the down slope now and so close to sorting it 👍😎
@@69Dartman for sure! Thanks for the suggestions, Dartman!!
Haven’t finished the video but McLaren’s are notorious for over filling and your exact issue, it’s a PITA but use the dash tool to check
@@jrhymescrypto I wish I could haha
@@TheInja get it fixed brotha! you’ll never get that oil right without it- trust me, it’s a seriously 25/8 issue on mac’s
life goals lol - fix up a mclaren in the yard :P
Sometimes you get a plug in the turbo oil return. Will close all kinds of issues
