I can't believe what I found inside the Engine of the Mustang GT. I won't be fixing the engine because of this, instead I'll either get a replacement or sell it. Also I show you my issues with the BMW 335, my progress on the Ferrari 360 and BMW i8 projects, and also a new addition to the fleet! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

I like too see every repair. Especially normal repairs on normal cars...
And not trying to make fun of you but nobody gives a s*** about BMWs and Audis nobody can use them they are worthless.
Yes it is good to show common folk how to keep a BMW and Audi without getting robbed and fix it yourself but that's kind of where it ends.
@@1XSTEALTHTWINTURBOX1 Dear Jason, Audi is one of the finest brands on earth, much better than anything of the crap that comes from the usa. I'm sorry if you are not fit to drive an audi.
@@JohnDoe-zr6bk lol
That's hilarious.
They are terrible vehicles.
Their reliable models are long gone. Here in the states they are junk and nobody wants them. Here in the states when you say BMW or Audi you hear autistic screeching.

I have a 2006 X3 with a similar issue on the hood. It takes two people to pop the hood. One to pull the latch and one to push your body weight near the hood emblem. Works every time for me.
I’d rather see the mustang fixed then Ferrari’s and high end cars yes there cool but they are way outta my budget every day cars for every day working people
Yea maybe every now then a super car, but I would prefer mustangs or camaros even the high end ones.
I agree I am not a ford fan but all them super cars are for the rich for the everyday working people live off of pay check to pay check which like me 850 a week is what I make which I can keep around 475 or more a month out of a month cause all the bills
Bought my 03 Mustang GT. She was in rough shape, needed new tires, brakes, and shocks. I fixed her up, and she drives like a beast now. She’s my daily and I love my pony. These Mustangs are fairly easy to fix. They share many parts with F150s and crown vics so parts are everywhere.
@@riversharp180 Buy cars cash. It’s not worth the headache dealing with car stealerships. Trust me, you don’t have to impress anyone. As long as my car gets me to work and home I’m happy. I’m not spending a years salary on a car. Most I’d spend would be 10k in full.
With the 335, use one of those really tiny air bag things that inflate when you pump it, and push the latch over with a flat head screw driver. Ask me how I know 🙄
Damn that engine was CLEAN inside compared to most with those miles. Previous owners actually maintained it.
If you don't like the Mustang, just move it on. Sell to a young enthusiast for what you paid. They'll do the work and love it.
I agree the engine was fairly clean.

Vtuned is honestly a G, dude is so smart for how young he is.
He’s a solid guy with great skills.
I have a suspicion that the problem with the Mustang is a broken valve spring. This causes the valve to drop and tension to be removed from the rocker, which lets it fall out. You may be able to replace a valve spring without pulling the head.
Repair the engine, my dude. I don’t care if it’s a Lamborghini or a fiat, I still enjoy watching you repair them.
I’m waiting for the Fiat 500 Abarth build. One of the most fun little cars.

Use lapping compound to lap the valve to the seat. Test the valves by turning the head with the valve face up and spark plugs in and fill the head chamber with gasoline, if after half hour the gasoline is still there the valves are sealing.
love your videos, very detailed and informative. Don't hesitate on posting more repair and DIY videos, I'm sure a large majority of your audience would love to see them!

Ill take it for parts lol
I would definitely love that car. Oh well.
Just do it give away I'm subscribing now
You could put $10,000 into it to make it worth $3,000 to a potential buyer. 😂

2:18 Sam "I'll just slip ya right in" That's a quote he picked up from his Stepmom.
If its a repair, and its on your car, I want to see it. Because your step mom really likes it when you finish.
A project! Finish a project.
Sam, you are too funny. If there is a boat anchor somewhere in Florida by God you will find and buy it.
remember when sam finished project cars instead of just doing project car window shopping at the auction yard or buy a car only to never really finish it? I member

It's crazy that same exact thing with the hood happened to my son's car. I actually wound up going to Harbor Freight and picking up some hacksaw blades ,fitting them in there and after about 25 to 30 minutes of sawing it, I cut the latch off and the locks work perfectly we went and bought a new hood and they lined up just fine.
Hell yeah make videos on any repairs you have to do for any vehicles,you're one of my favorite TH-camrs.Need to make them more often and i know its not easy to do.
Oh pleeeeease cut the hood on that beautiful 335 I just want to read the comments
Or smash it with a sledge hammer
Jaws of Life baby
Chop that hood, chop that hood, chop that hood!
Wtf are you doing here, go fix that foxbody
Unbolt the center pin thru the grill hard to reach not impossible
Had the same exact hood latch problem on my 335i. It took 4 hours, but if you disassemble the latch pull on the inside and grab the wire with a pair of vise grips while having a helper (a chicken works) try the underhood latch, it should pop after messing with it for a bit. Goodluck crac! looking forward to more N54 content.
Thank you very much for the help!!!!
Have some1 hold the hood up even pry a lil bit. Get a long saw zall blade and cut the striker on the passenger side. The striker only bolts to the hood. So cutting it is no problem. It’s an easy replacement. My buddy just did the same exact thing on a 3 series, and it worked out great. He didn’t damage the hood at all. Same thing passenger side would not pop. After he cut the striker he got the hood open n found that the cable had slid off and that’s y it wouldn’t open. Good luck Sam!
If the hood latch is anything like the 7 series the left side latch cable runs across the front of the radiator behind the grille. Just pull on that cable and it'll pop. My 05 745li had a broken latch inside the car and this is how I got into it to fix it. Good luck!!! Hopefully this works got you!
I love when you and rich collaborate, love the vids, and tell your stepmom I love her work lmao 😂
I haven't came this early since I saw Sam's stepmom.
😢
😭🤣🤣
I’d love to see all repairs, but a “day in the life of samcrac” video would be interesting to see
Skincare routine video
Try pressing down on the hood and lifting it up while pulling on the cable through the fender liner compartment. Had the same issue...
I had a cable break on me. It had a plastic union and got brittle and broke after 15 years. It also didn’t help that it got hit in the front and the hood didn’t want to open right anyway, so the extra strain on the latching mechanism speed up it’s failure.
If you pay shipping I’ll take it. 😂

Hey a repair I've done!! I dropped and replaced the gas tank on my 2014 Ram... As a result of a broken plastic nozzle on the evap (it's all one piece apparently) not a cheap fix, but pretty easy overall... One thing I would recommend since you're in there, replace the fuel pump and sending unit.. but I'd like to see you tackle it...
I want to see you fix the Ford f 250 gas tank it would make good content
Sam post all the damn car's we want to see everything junk or priceless
Yeah forgot what cars he even owns
Again.....why does Florida man Crac Sam leave his cars out on the field like cattle
every time i see a house with a garage and two cars in the driveway i wonder WHAT is so precious it needs to be in the place specifically built to house vehicles...
I love your content man keep it coming !
Lol. This has happened on more lawn tractors that people bring me than I care to admit. :) Just this week, my own ancient Poulan with a briggs 14.5hp had a valve stick on it’s first start of the season, and the wee valve cap that sticks between the valve stem and the rocker popped off, fell down the oil gallery, and came out when I drained the oil to change it… Popped it back on, adjusted teh valves, and Ol’ Faithful is back in business.
Sam's mom, greatest work include titles like:
"Mom helps step son with a little problem.."
"Step mom tries to confort heart broken teenage step son"
😅
wouldn't a missing rocker arm cause the valve to stay closed not open?
Yes and the stuck valve is why the rocker arm jumped off.
@@CCW1911 yeah, so why would he think putting it back in would fix it?
@@rolan116 I don't know but guessing maybe viewer content, building suspense? Doesn't make sense from a practical view, I have built many engines and worked in a rebuilding shop but know nothing about making youtube content.
Valve is stuck because it's bent, I've rebuilt and built so many of these 4.6/5.4s. timing guides are likely gone and the valve touched the piston, bent the stem, then knocked the rocker out. 75% of the ones i see the guides are gone because people hop in start it and take off.
It's always nice to see a few normal repairs in between the skits XD
Always enjoy the content...this one in particular.
Looks like stepmom is keeping you busy, dude we need more videos on cars basic or not. Become regular
Wait... so I was right last time? This is going to sit unfnished on your property?
I think he does it to upset the youtube referrees like yourself.
@@paulcarmi8130 Really??? That 's so kind of him to be thought of like that and for you for highlighting it.
But I mainly meant it as a joke in referrence to the "joke" I made on the last Mustang video he made. (it got a tad noticed by a few other like minded people who saw the joke in it. ) But again, thank you for being one of those people that had to point it out. :)
@@Bicketybam68 well, I didn't realize it was a joke, and that's because I see this comment a lot. (Not from you, idk who it was)
@@paulcarmi8130 Well I suppose the jokes on me, I sort of expect him to remember me because he put a 'heart' on my last comment but then again, he puts a car in his field and he forgets all about them and they're much bigger than a heart icon. :D
Of course it is, he doesn't fix shit. Only not important stuff
gotta love how stepmom used her 6th sense to know the camera zoomed out enough to show her so she could look and smile into it
its like shes had a camera on her before and I cannot imagine why :)
I love how randomly the cars are placed in the field.
Gotta say, you may take the award for the most seamless promotional plugs on YT. I get suckered in every time!
Honestly Ed Bolian did better.
Speed academy had similar issue with hood on their wagon. Maybe hit them up
Great video, good updates
That Cory Chase collab is gonna be a banger 💯💯
Shoutout to M539 Restorations. You should hive it to him.
I guess stepmom doesn't mind walking, because if Sam gets under the hood, that car will be idle for quite a while.
Helps her stay in shape.
Keep the mustang man it's a cool project that young enthusiasts could easily catch onto
That 530 M competition is awesome!🤩
Step mom has lightened a lot of loads.
12:17 - sure, I'll gladly watch you fix any car, it's fun to watch!
14:28 - look at the hair, that was a log trip to Zack's place :D
Man that sucks about the 335i hood. I love that car. I would probably cut it. Black is easy enough to match that you could probably just buy a used black one and not have to paint it. Good luck!
Also Scott was a true gem. Restoring my faith in humanity, not bc he gave it away, but just for being such a genuinely nice guy.
See more Sam of the entire fleet - great content 👍
Just swap a coyote into it, and make a race car out of it. It'll be good content
That's what I'm talkn' bout
Lapping a valve in isn’t too much work lol.
I bought a grand marquis for $500, 2008 272000 miles. It ran beautifully, did burnout like crazy even tho it was open diff. Sold it a week ago for $1700. Same engine 4.6
Last car I owned in the UK was E39 525i SE Auto, which I loved. I had it for 10 years from new, then emigrated to USA, so had to sell it. Your vehicle looks a bit weird with the after market radio, but it is a superb car.
I’m in Orlando I will bring you a 1000 for it , been a mechanic for over 20 years ! Let me know
But can you get into the BMW? 😂
Still can’t believe how well he slid add into the video.
If you can get the passenger side grill out, I think you can un-bolt the latch mechanism. Speed Academy had the same issue on their e wagon.
Congrats 🥳
worth it and fun to fix- myustang cooler than i8 or tt
Muatang n F250 pu,are about da only 2 rides dat connect u to us common people ,do em!!!
When you replace the F250 fuel tank, see if you can get the fx4 saddle straps with the bolts and the fx4 fuel tank skid plate (or aftermarket). Maybe no more “something drove up under the fuel tank and dented it” issues.
Yes show the truck repair on the channel. It is good for people that have similar issue with their truck.
Seeing some truck repair content would be refreshing. Look at it this way, its a Ford, you'll get plenty of repair content out of that lol.
Getting famous off of comments day 297, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🤙🚀🚀
Breaking down that motor is actually pretty easy. If you do it, just remember, you can unbolt the passenger side exhaust manifold from the head because you can easily get to the bolts. The driver side, unbolt the exhaust manifold from the cat pipe so the manifold just comes out with the head.
Also brakelabs is a good online spot for brakes(if they are still around, can't access right now on muh work computer). Got crossdrilled rotors and pads for "I think" $130.
Definitely we want more!
i def want to see more vids like this and more of your cars, this was really cool
Turn it into a Cobra R replica! I'd love to see that running around central Florida
Keep the mustang rebuild alive !!!

Sometimes you get lucky, I picked up an old 4.2L Audi V8 from 1993 with a timing belt that came out in 4 pieces. 4 over head cams, 32 valves, all aluminum engine with 2 distributors, one on the back of each cylinder head. Surprisingly no internal damage, now it's my my daily. I did a video of it on my channel, still have the belt pieces after dodging that bullet.
That's a unicorn. Great score on your part.
I liked this video Sam totally different than your others.
I legit just finished doing a head gasket on my 2002 Mustang GT. You gotta take the radiator out too. Might as well do new timing chains. Also, based on my experience, you will also need to put in a better radiator, aftermarket exhaust headers, full intake, and a tune.
Hahah the "stimulus" base price for FB Marketplace listings. Good one Sam!
Make a rod to reach and hook onto the latch that is out of reach until you do that. Maybe attach a bit of bent coat hanger to a broom handle or some shapeable flexible plastic.
This solution was brought to you by W🤙🤙D.
Any repair you do is interesting!
Easiest way to open the hood, at the risk of some minor paint damage. Get a section of heavy gauge, right-angle iron fence post cut to the width of the hood. Get a length of flat copper bar, same length and bend it lengthways to form a right angle. Mix up some (O2N2CH2)3 and use that as a sandwich filler between the iron and copper angle bars. Some care needs to be taken during the mixing and filling steps. Place the bar across the front of the hood, then attach ignition coils and wires at each end of the bar, ensuring firm contact with your filler. Stand well back, apply a current to the igniters, and the hood will then be easy to open. This is a very simple solution to most BMW problems.
I had a similar problem and used a Sawzall to cut the late hours off between the hood amd bumper with out ruining anything
On your ford pickup when I worked at the ford deal I had a ton of F series trucks with fuel leak that looks similar to what you have and it's from a fuel line on top of the tank that will have a perfectly round hole in it like a needle or something punctured it. Seems to always be someplace close to where the cab and the bed meet up. Only thing we could come up with why they are getting the holes is that some kind of buf is eating the lines.
Be interested in what has happened to your truck, but also interesting in how you're going to get the hood open on the BMW without damaging it
Raise the 335i on the lift and try to unlatch it manually with a long screw driver from underneath. Or you can try removing the left grille maybe you have better access to the latch. Sometimes the cable itself pops off the latch so only way to unlock it would be with a screw driver pressing on the arm where the cable connects.
sam i just had a look at my 335i latch set up what looks like the problem with your latch is the hood cable joins into a joiner block and merges out as 2 cables i am guessing one of yours has broken or dislodged the rocker on the lock is hidden behind the lock plate and a cow to get to.1 if you can see the lock from the front of the underside of the hood you can get a thin piece of rod 1/16 diameter and put a right angle on the end about a half inch long and where the hood tang goes into the lock hook behind on the drivers side and turn anti clockwise and it should release the latch.2 where you see the cable on the drivers side under the fender follow it behind the headlight and where the cable joins the joiner block the longer cable is the passanger side grab that cable and reef on it and see if it opens it the outer cable may have come unhooked but the inner cable should still be connected as a panel beater this is what i would do good luck cheers from down under
I think a lot of people like the Mustang because it's a type of car project anyone could get into and is a real world project even for the smallest budget. So it makes us very interested in it and cars of this type of money and power capability. You can drift it with a little welding on the diff and even make the engine have big power with a cheap forced induction. So much cheap after market support that makes it viable for the masses to actually look into doing. That's IMHO why people have a lot of interest in the Mustang.
Hey Sam. Have you ever considered having your own 4 post (or 2 post) lift installed? Surely that would make so many of your rebuilds a lot easier!
The tire off liner out is the best way but you don’t want to pull on the cables the latch has a secondary release that a flat head screw driver can fit into take a really long skinny one . You slide the screw driver threw the rad support into the latch Accessing the secondary release
Look up the latch on google and you can see the seconds release switch on the side of the latch it’s a small part that you click down
I work in collision repair and this is a fairly common issue
When these engines sit for a long time, some of them have a problem with the hydraulic dampeners for the valve train bleed down leaving a ton of gap between the valve and follower. Then,, when you turn over the engine, it sweeps the follower off the dampener and it just falls onto the cylinder head. As a 35 yr. Ford tech, I saw this many times...
