A little progress update for you. I was hoping the next engine management video could be ready by Christmas, but it became clear that this wasn't possible late last week. So I turned a quick home improvement project into a video and hope to have that done tomorrow. The last few years I've made it a tradition to release a video on Christmas day and I'd like to keep that up.

But for now, here's a taste of what I've been up to. See ya soon!

TC video day is a good day!

We looking at the timing system? Perhaps VVT? I would LOVE to have a look at VVT in your video format

SkyKibo

I’m excited to say the least

qwerty

Nice watch!

Darren Pierce

Oh my. I can see the "YOU'LL RUIN THAT ENGINE" comments already. Sigh.

Diet Toms

Very cool! I like those tracking shots too - fancy

Technology Connections

VVT will certainly be coming up, though this engine only has it on the intake cam. I don't know how much I'll be able to demonstrate with it, but I'll give the phaser a good look to see how much I can really show. I don't think VVT will be its own video, but perhaps - I've only outlined the script so far and it will depend on how long it takes to explain the basics of ignition timing and computer control.

That's awesome! Takes me back to my wrenching days 😁. Can't wait to see the content from this teardown!

Geoff Goss

its weird that I found TC by getting into Automotive YT, and then engineering YT, and found TC, and now he's trying to teach nerds like me about engines. Full Circle =)

At 1:14 I suddenly discovered where the inspiration for C-3PO's appearance came from....

After reading your comment, I was expecting some sounds or something like that, not a freaking lobotomy.

Ooooh. This going to be good.. if you have absolutely no plans for it when you're done with everything, put it together to a point and then run it without oil until it run no more... I mean we know what happens but it'd be fun to see it

Mr. Hunter Jones

Looks like it has variable intake cam timing. I hope you have some time to include that feature!

CharlieVictor

It’s probably too late to matter, but Eric on the YT channel I Do Cars has many engine disassembly videos that might be helpful.

David Weintraub

This is all wrong! What’s a camshaft doing over the valves? And why two camshafts? Isn’t one sufficient? Where are the pushrods? And where does the carburetor fit with all this rigmarole over the cylinders? Now excuse me. I have to yell at some kids on my lawn.

Laurence MacNeill

You can tell where the blown head-gasket was. Piston #1 is definitely cleaner than the rest.

Derek Rowe

variable intake timing?

Rikkoshaye

Every time I see the inside of a car engine like this, I find it pretty incredible that they run consistently at all. They're SO complicated

Paul Schuur

Ew, gross, greasy hands. Please continue!

Alec Jahn

I wish I could have had that leverage on my crank bolt when I did a timing belt at home a few months ago!

ajuanjojjj

Hey, that looks to me like a pebble watch! Is it the new one? Any thoughts for someone that's been eyeing them for a while?

Spenser Loiselle

I love what you're doing and can't wait to see more! I recently swapped an engine and transmission to all aftermarket controls and it's amazing what they do to make a car run smoothly. Just basic tuning to make it drivable is a feat, let alone tweaking all aspects to make it smooth, efficient and reliable.
