Next up for the R32 we will get the head bolted up, and do two timing videos. One with stock chains, and one with HG spacer!!! Also many of you ask about why no upgrade to pistons and rods. GREAT Questions! At some point I have to stop with the car. HPA and I had several long chats about this. They have tons of cars running around with HIGH HP, on stock internals for the R32. The beauty is, they are right, or wrong, and we get to find out. HAHA. Time will tell.
Love the video my brother update btw valve cover gasket went on 2.0 replaced an then replaced the plugs an also the 02 sensors no problems no check engine light hell yeah btw u need to take the new race build to the freedom factory i hear the bald eagles screaming now
Absolutely admire the surgical precision with which you work. This is one of my favorite channels for that very reason. You can tell you have a passion for these cars.
I'm probably about as fluent in the SAAB world as you are with VWs. We recently purchased two VWs with the 2.0T TSI engine (2011 Tiguan and 2013 GLI) so I started following you when the PCV started to go on our GLI. Now I'm deep into this R32 build wanting to find my other half a VR6 Jetta as a project car and show vehicle so thank you for all of the content. You have been a saving grace and an inspiration. You also turned me on to two great VW guys within 30 mins of me in this series as I'm located in Reading PA just outside of Pottstown where you bought the transmission at. Haha small world.
It was really cool seeing my ARP suspicions on VR6 confirmed. I once built a motor where I took on ARP's advice and had my rods resized. Awhile later, I decided to do the 1 out 1 in method, ARP, 40 ftlbs, no resizing. Worked just the same. Also high mileage ring gap. People believe high mileage motors have more ring gap and are better for boost... no no no. These people have never actually measured one. I measured one, 220k miles, well maintained. It came out exactly to what your refreshed block was, 0.13" top ring 0.16" second ring, with some bores having just barley 0.14" on the top ring. Keep up all this awesome content Charles! Looking forward to the w8 tear down!
This is a fantastic video Charles, thanks so much for putting it together! Stoked to see where this project goes I've been wanting to build a fresh 2.0 PD TDI longblock for a while and this just makes me want to do it even more.
Just a note that with the engine upside down, the plasti-gauge on the engine side of the journals is redundant. You're measuring a clearance, so the crank is already sitting hard against the engine side bearing surface. The only plasti-gauge indication that will be accurate is on the top side (main cap side) of the bearing journals
Many thanks for doing this video and going into depth. 1st time rebuilding my engine, just waiting on the machine shop to finish my block so I'll definitely use this as reference and the shop manual.
Rebuilt my B8 Audi 1.8t engine by following your videos. Onto rebuilding an mk5 r32 motor + turbo and putting into my mk4 :) Waiting in anticipation for the next one Charles. Love the content.
I use arp when I can. But, I'm starting to find that unless the block has enough beef for the increased load it's not necessarily worth the extra cost unless you plan on frequently disassembling the engine. I always use arp for connecting rods. But, for mains and heads I'm not convinced unless you are springing for a stud upgrade.
about to rebuild my first engine, n/a to turbo conversion for a vg, super intimidating for me but that’s what makes the outcome even more interesting and fun , thank for the video, definitely contributed to my confidence
good note on the align hone part, it is also nice to have it done to also ensure the bores are still in alignment. a used block can potentially shift around over time with use so the crank can potentially spin better and have more consistent clearance from journal to journal if an align hone has been performed.
Great seeing you assemble my favorite engine of all time, the VR6. I can't wait for the first crank. Great job Charles! ;) You're truly an encyclopedia.
What’s up chuck? Glad your working on that thing and not me. That plastic gauge stuff has been around a long time handy stuff to use.waste of time to use on a VW it’s a lick it and stick it type engine. Of course if your going to blow it and your trying to learn the neophytes and you be the one knowing it’s okay to go thru the extra trouble. Good video chuck!
Fantastic video. Oh I love watching the pistons go up and down too. Very satisfying. Something you don't get to see once it's all back together. Love your work my man👍
Hell of a job, but this engine will run so well after all that work. One day I'm gonna build my first engine, I'm gonna take real good time to do it. It's gonna be a full winter project!
Hello HumbleMec, a few months ago I built my VW MK3 2.0L and made use of RaceWare studs for the main bearing caps, ARP connecting rod bolts and STD bearings all a round. I was aware of the recommended RaceWare and ARP torque settings but these figures far exceeded VW's torque settings so I decided to totally ignore the aftermarket torque numbers and use only VW's settings. My logic was that if I'm using the same STD bearings all around I know I can't apply exceedingly higher torque numbers because this would deliver clamping forces on bearings not originally designed for. Knowing that my engine worked perfectly fine with VW's original torque settings and engine bearings I opted not to chance it and stick with OEM torque parameters. In the end the engine build has been a total success and engine performance is fantastic only requiring going back to a thinner motor oil to properly lubricate all brand new bearings and cylinder block components. This approach saved me a ton of time and unnecessary expenditures on tools and parts.... you can't go wrong with proven engine torque settings.
Strange video. A informative porn. 🤔 I see what you did here and I am fascinated. I love your style and your videos. You are one of the PQ34 Gurus🤘 Keep up the awesome work! Thank you a lot from Germany.👍
As always, awesome video. Im not that far for my build yet, but will definitely reference this when i get to this point. Thank you bearded bandit, you're the man
What an awesome video Charles! Engine/Transmission disassembly has always been a "fear" of mine because there is so much that you can mess up and I always though things were glass like fragile. Now that I'm starting to do this stuff, you see that they are but aren't that fragile, just be sure to use some "soapy wooder".
@@HumbleMechanic I think everyone knows that distinct gut wrenching feeling when it's about to happen. The best part is hearing the torque wrench finally click knowing it's done correctly.
Hello HumbleMechanic. Certainly you professional. Also you can lubricate the bolt head or nut in contact point with cylinder block . This is facilitate slip when the threaded joint tightened.Only way you will get accuracy when the threaded joint is tightened dynamometric wrench with the lowest resistance.
On the Main bearings where the thrust washers are apart of the main bearing my old machine shop didn't like them for manual transmission cars. They preferred the separate thrust washers because this allows for another surface for oil to go and absorb some of the thrust.
wow, im tired and confused just by watching! how can you do it and still manage to film in such details and high quality. Thank you for all your efforts
Interesting video, but I have a query about the big end cap bolts. I would have though that releasing the stretch bolts to check the plastigauge would have the potential to give a slightly different bolt length, meaning that they would not have the same tension on them if re-torqued to the value calculated on first stretch. Is that not the case?
At operating temperature and the proper tension, the bolts are designed to stretch elastically. Since assembly is at room temperature, are being torqued to spec, and the bolts aren't under any dynamic load there should certainly be no plastic deformation of the metal. (Note that because bolt tension is measured indirectly via torque specs, this is why it's critical that the threads are perfectly clean and the specified lubricant is used.)
Nice techniques. The first time I've seen someone de-bur the inside edges of pistons rings to prevent them nicking the ring lands. I've found that ATF works to clean/lift honing debris from cylinder bores nicely, if you cant get marvel mystery oil.
I've never built an engine so maybe stop me, but... I recently learned you want a *slightly* larger ring gap for ring #2 (maybe .001-.002" larger). Manufacturers have started doing this to avoid an increase in compression between the rings, causing a ring land failure - the idea being you're better off potentially having slight blowby. I was curious if this was something you or others were familiar with.
Hey do you have to use plastic gauge and check the crank shaft clearance if your just refreshing the engine , and your using all own stuff..the motor will not be turbocharged it will stay stock oem thanks !
this is probably the part of the whole build that requires being VERY thorough. All the little details are vital. I could make a short version hitting the high points, but I don't want someone to miss a step and toast an engine.
@@HumbleMechanic Agreed, 100%. I was just being my normal sarcastic self! This is the right way to make the video, and besides, I put you in 2x and the HumbleMechanic becomes the ManicMechanic! :)
@@HumbleMechanic Also, I am just a fellow dad with an unruly beard watching this for fun while I eat lunch... It's unlikely I will ever get this deep into an engine, and I respect that you provided the detail someone needs who is actually doing it! It IS satisfying to see the pistons go (probably more so when you just built it yourself!). Cheers, and I will leave you alone now! lol
Charles, I've never done a Plastigauge clearance check but simple geometry says that if you use one strip on one side of a bearing, the gauge material will act as a spacer as you wind up the bolts, till you have zero clearance on the other side, and twice the clearance on the gauge side. All things being equal if you use two gauge strips, one on each opposite side the crush forces should balance out and each gauge will tell you the gap on their respective sides of the bearing. I'd appreciate your response to this because I have my own R32 rebuild coming up and I am using your guidance.
With the bottom end cap connecting rods, you threaded short of going past the bolts ? Is that okay or should you thread the nut down past the bolt until the thread is exposed??
Audi performance and racing, APR has very good stuff that is researched in cooperation with the VAG factory wizards. Downside is that there is relatively few APR parts on the market and they´d rather also build the cars in APR certified garages so that´s possibly not the best trademark for a DIY guy. I ran with OEM clutch and cam timing belt 10 years and 100 000 Miles with mostly just the basic maintenance like regular oil change with the stage 1 + that is 450 to 480 Nm and from 330 to 370 horse power differing on the fuel and air temp etc. Do a 2.0 FSI/TFSI engine next please.

I tested it both ways and got basically the same results
If you're torquing the rod cap bolts to check the plastic gauge. Wouldn't the bolts be non useable after that? Aren't they torque to yield?
great detailed video! keep it up man, you're an inspiration

I've never seen plastigage used on both sides of the journal before. Is your clearance then both measurements added together?
Hello. I am currently changing the cylinder head gasket and clean the engine. Do I have to smear the cylinder walls with oil?
Good luck.i like what you do.and enjoying watching the videos .
