Hi Richard. Love watching you videos. Great explanation technical details you put over . I my self own an Audi R8 V8 and a Golf Mk 5 GTI FSI and carry out all the services work . I had to correct and fix a lot of bad workmanship on both cars that the main dealers technicians in the past did not care about there job to carry out a high standard of workmanship on my car . They take advantage of the customer’s vulnerability of not knowing the technical and mechanical details of there car . Even with a full service history mainly on my R8 parts were not fitted correctly to the car , the list gos on and same on the GTI . Customers will pay good money to someone they can trust and do a 110% job on there car . Or even better do it your self and save a fortune on service costs like I have now for 40 years. People like you Richard are a great help to us all and to own a super car you make owning a car like that more affordable on a tight budget. My friend Rob paid £800 to a main dealer only to do a plug an oil change on his R8 V10 spider .,after that he sold the car . On my V8 R8 oil change and plug change parts come to just under £100 . Easy job to carry out ones you know how to . I’m lucky I work for a Kubota tractor main dealer in the UK and have all my own tools to carry out all my services work . Keep going Richard knocking out more great videos on car tech easy to follow etc etc . 🤛👏👍👍😎
Right on Michael for having a R8 V8 and a MK5 GTI! You are totally right! It is so hard to find a good mechanic that you can trust. At least if parts are fitted wrong to our cars incorrectly when we are doing it ourselves, we know who to blame! Haha! I am so very happy that I can demystify supercar ownership for you and give you permission to treat your r8 like any other car. Pull the motor, do your own clutch, change the shocks, and everything in between! This platform with both the Gallardo and R8 is a beautiful piece of automotive engineering. I've been toying with the idea of picking up an R8 V8 6MT as the next project motor pull instructional car. It seems that it would definitely help you keep your R8 on the road and enjoy every second of ownership with your wonderful Supercar! Thanks for reaching out!
Thank you for pointing this out Patrick! What lines failed on your car and where? Did they fail at the solenoid/reservoir assembly or did they fail at the actuator? Did you replace with a OEM set of hoses or aftermarket? Edit* Answered my own question after watching your video! Ben @ Lambo Las Vegas is great. You make me want to get a fire suppression system! Ill keep an eye on those lines so thank you for pointing that out
JW, thank you! Im glad you liked the video! I did but some of that stuff was impossible to remove. You should have seen it before, you couldn't even see orange in parts of the engine bay. If you have a good recommendation for Aluminum cleaner, Im down to hear it. I swear I scrubbed that transmission for at least an hour haha.
Haha he does have big balls Jacob. And his name is "Allesandro," the last owner told me that's what SHE named him! Its fitting. The history of this car will amaze you.
John here, Once again your straightforward production for showing how to reinstall an engine and transmission is phenomenal. Those of us who turn wrenches really appreciate the knowledge
Tanel, my garage is like one of those old school machine shops with boxes, engine blocks and crankshafts EVERYWHERE but there is no other place you would take your engine to get worked on! Right?!?! LOL These shops typically have that one guy that looks like father time balancing crankshafts. You could learn more from just looking at him for 5 minutes than you can after 4 years of college. And thank you! It was a LOT to pack all of this into one succinct video! Haha I'm glad you liked it.
@@TheBullRider Haha, I know exactly the type you mean! That guy might also not have had a haircut since the 60's and walks around in wooden shoes. ;-) Doesn't matter how it looks, tho, if it works, it works.
Thanks so much Richard! This must be the best Gallardo diy channel out there! Perhaps this can evolve into some proper hands on workshop/class for owners in the future. Just some thoughts. Cheers!
@@TheBullRider yes sir! 2007 Gallardo Spyder! Bought it 2nd hand in 2014. Loving it. That’s why all your videos are especially useful! Keep up the great work! Cheers!
@@briankwan542 Right on for your Pre LP Spyder! Im sure you love every second of it! Hope I encouraged you to do some DIY work yourself and skip the dealer!
Some ideas for future videos. Not sure where to ask this.1.) Do we need to tighten the bolts of the chassis and where? Which bolts? 2.) cause of whining from the engine area. Alternator pulley or belt tensioner pulley, etc? Keep up the great work thanks 🙏🏻!
Brian, you are totally right!! I forgot to include the part that shows where you bolt the motor to the motor mounts on the chassis. I did show how to align them but I didn't show how to fasten them. My apologies! Lambo doesn't provide a torque spec for these either. I did show how to fasten the transmission to the transmission mounts however and they are very similar in design. If you are pulling your motor and need this info, shoot me an email at lambobullrider@gmail.com and I will take pics of the underside of my car to show you where they are at. As for your whining from the engine bay, is it at startup when the engine is cold or is it continual? Is it when your car is moving or just idling? Is it squealing or what does it sound like? Haha
the fact that you work on the car with such confidence is truly astonishing. Also please consider switching to a dry element air filter such as sprint-filter instead of those cotton gauze ones you have
Well thank you Random Channel. I like your suggestion but believe it or not this K&N cotton gauze air filter is OEM Lamborghini! Isnt that cool? Since this car doesn't have MAFs either, we can oil them without any concern from sensor contamination. I will look into the sprint filter, that is a brand I haven't heard of yet. Maybe they make one for the Gallardo! Looking at flowbench data to compare K&N to sprint-filter will be cool too.
@@TheBullRider yes that screams high performance but sprint will outflow them. And I have personally done some filtration analysis and they seem to perform very well in comparison to their flow. If you want more info we can talk via email. I'm not supported by them obviously, it's just a very good (IMHO) product
@@randomchannel1712 I looked them up and they only have filters for the LP 560 and not the Pre LP! Maybe I should reach out to them and see if they will make custom filters for us Pre LP fanatics. Send me some more info at lambobullrider@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
Pa, thank you for watching from day one! It has been a wild journey but this is just the beginning! I'm glad you think these videos keep getting better. I am working hard on improving every time!
@@FirstLast-tx3yj It is nearly identical! Check out this ebay listing of a huracan block. www.ebay.com/itm/124732877821 The 5.0 in the Pre LP gallardo and the Huracan/r8/LP Gallardo are very very similar
@@FirstLast-tx3yj Honestly its a decent deal with the wiring harnesses, oil pump, coolant pump, intake manifold etc. You can pick one up from a r8 for a bit less. Exotics are a bit obsurd in terms of parts price to repair... LOL
Great job Richard, always look forward too your videos. Curious were you a audi technician? Your knowledge in all the various components and sensors is awesome.
Tim920, Im glad you liked this video and I hope it helped you. Do you have a Gallardo?! No I was never an Audi tech officially but I had my own business working on Audis, Typically the C5 Allroad 2.7 and the B5 S4 2.7, in college. There is a an old meme about the Audi Allroad 2.7 with the actor of MacGyver standing in front of his broken Allroad saying "Even MacGyver cant fix it!" www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/kyw445/the_world_is_in_a_sad_state_of_affairs_when/
@@TheBullRider ahhhh ok brother, you had not mentioned that and I figured if I had got my engine to that breakdown I would clean it up also, lots of debris little pebbles etc lay on it, but....ok glad you tried...as for alloy cleaners, your guess is good as mine Rich! Great video, that super G is going to be brand new soon! lol
@@ridethebull4484 I should have mentioned it haha so thanks for asking though! I sucked up about a pound of dirt from spots in the engine bay. Cheap weight reduction? LOL
You are a great teacher.... love the detail in your explanation.... you really do make it look easy.... it was great seeing your wife help.... great work, thank you for documenting the build !!!
Deuce, glad you liked this motor install! I tried to cover everything to make it easy for when you get your Gallardo. And Yes! She is amazing for helping so much.
Thank you Repomex! Its been a wild ride so far but this is just the beginning! Happy your along for the ride! Oooh a Rosso Metis, very rare color. Especially gated! I'm going to say, if your fixed on that color, you might be looking for a while hehe. Once you drive these cars you can never drive anything else. They are so wonderful aren't they? Here's to the hunt of finding your next new dream car. Let me know when you pick one up. Im excited for you.
Excellent detail Richard! Your videos make an excellent resource for anyone pulling their engine. Can't wait to hear it scream through the Tunnel of Love! LOL
Mario, you and that Tunnel of Love. Im hoping this really does help out someone in the future! Once you know where everything is, pulling this motor becomes a LOT less intimidating. Right?
@@otsef1946 Haha I get that! It took me about 6 years to finally pick one up. These cars are wonderful to work on though. Definitely pick one up before the prices on these bad boys go up even more!
I’m sure if this Gallardo was a foster child, it is happy that it was adopted into such a loving home. Been following your videos since you picked it up. The DIY videos are very insightful. Keep it up! Would you ever consider selling?
Haha you crack me up Leo! And thank you for following along on this journey since day one! I hope you have liked the videos and they are helpful to you. And to answer your question.... thats a big hard NO. I will NEVER sell my Superleggera, it is WAY TOO cool!! You need to pick up one yourself because this car is like nothing else on the road!
Cool video! Two questions: First, how long was the install process? Secondly……how many parts did you have left over? Keep up the good content. For those of us who have not it’s neat to see the guts of these things. Lots of neat design features that are small but show care, like the different color tape marking where the zip ties go, and the loops in the frame to actually put the zip ties through.
Thank you Dusty! Glad you liked the video! This car is a very well engineered platform for sure. Everything is laid out so logically and its honestly a breeze to work on. To answer your questions, to install from start to finish was maybe 20 hours total. If I wasn't filming, maybe 8 hours. As for parts left over, NONE! I tagged and bagged every single fastener. I did leave one loop clamp off that I deemed redundant though but I know where it goes LOL.
Ryan, no sir I did not. The clutch was the same and I also didnt touch the slave cylinder. Because of this we get lucky and all adaptation values stay the same! Cool huh?!
i gotta be honest here. I probably would have wiped everything down all the hoses and throw some purple power degreaser on that trans. get everything back to factory spec for such a big job.
@@Yrnxdallas38 Im not so sure about this one Dallas as its the highest mileage one in the world at 115k miles. Most "collector" cars are 15k mileage ish but a typical Superleggera will run for about 140ish from what ive seen lately. Have you ask you regarding mileage, what's the point of owning a car you cant drive?
Hello, I have a question and hope you can help me out, would you happen to know the correct firing order for the 04 to 08 5.0 firing order? I see lots of numbers on line be they are all different 😆. Thanks and keep up the great videos
@@TheBullRider I'm so used to TH-camrs going crazy with cleaning or dry ice blasting. I would have been temped to roll the chassis out and power wash the hell out of it. Sorry, I don't have any cleaner recommendations. Impressive work.
@@adcampo7601 Well thank you Adcampo. I've gotten a lot of comments about this and it made me realize that maybe others think its dirty is because part of the frame is painted black and not orange? Haha who knows though but I think I vacuumed out about a pound of dirt out of that engine bay. Super cheap weight reduction no less!
Did you ever think about doing a full deep clean while the engine was out? Could you of pressure wash the engine and body when having the engine and what would you be worried about if you did?
Muckman, I did a minimal cleaning when the engine was out but didnt fully clean it by rolling it out of the garage. My driveway was too steep. It is a good idea while you are in there!
Michael, I sure can! Here are the torque specs for the Pre LP: lambobullrider.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Tightening-torque-L140-000800-EUR06GB-I.pdf Here are the torque specs for the LP: lambobullrider.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/LP-Torque-Specs.pdf You can also get them any time off my website homepage: lambobullrider.com/ Use the specs with a grain of salt, sometimes they are a bit wrong! Like 50nm for a T30 Torx is a no go like some parts of the guide suggest lol!
Haha no I was never a Lambo Tech. I have worked on Audis/VWs for years and this motor shares a lot of parts! You probably relate to this but I was one of those kids that could tell you everything about the next best supercar without even seeing it. What's funny is that I knew so much about this damn car from looking at them for years, when I picked this one up it seemed like meeting an old friend. Hehe. Do you have a Gallardo?
Bob, glad you liked the video. I actually pulled about a pound of dirt out of the engine bay. I wish I could have cleaned it more but my driveway was too steep. I probably couldn't get the car back in LOL. Next time!
Where do u live please tell me fl I have one I need to put in I’m willing to pay you and I have it at my shop so u will have a lift and a place to work
Power of the internet. Mind blowing how much knowledge is shared in a short 20 min video. A mil thanks bravo!!!
Thank you Ric! I am glad you liked how much detail I was able to jam pack into twenty minutes! Glad you liked it and hope it helps you in the future?

Impressive 👍 Tucking the actuator lines like that is what eventually led to my crimp failure which almost caused a thermo event 🔥🔥🔥

You can also get them any time off my website homepage: lambobullrider.com/
Use the specs with a grain of salt, sometimes they are a bit wrong! Like 50nm for a T30 Torx is a no go like some parts of the guide suggest lol!
How do you know so much about Lambos? Were you a lambo tech?
Haha no I was never a Lambo Tech. I have worked on Audis/VWs for years and this motor shares a lot of parts!
You probably relate to this but I was one of those kids that could tell you everything about the next best supercar without even seeing it. What's funny is that I knew so much about this damn car from looking at them for years, when I picked this one up it seemed like meeting an old friend. Hehe.
Do you have a Gallardo?
bugged pipe 1:05
Haha Mo Maaitah, you caught the Easter egg in the video!! I edited out the part where I talked about the bug so good catch!
All that work and you didn’t clean anything man it hurts me😢😅 engine bay wise
Bob, glad you liked the video. I actually pulled about a pound of dirt out of the engine bay. I wish I could have cleaned it more but my driveway was too steep. I probably couldn't get the car back in LOL. Next time!
