VR6 Engine Update ~ White Wookie

VR6 engine design

I feel like it’s been YEARS since the last White Wookie update. Today we are going to be looking at some of what is in store for the VR6. There will be more to come ;). Before the VR6 is installed in the car, it must be put together. During the assembly process, I will be making several videos show how to assemble parts, take measurements, and avoid headaches down the road. Plus there are still a few surprises left up my sleeve.

VR6 Block And Bearing Inspection ~ White Wookie

Next up in the “Project White Wookie”, we focus on the bottom end of the engine. I will be mounting up the Eurowise VR6 stand mount, removing the oil pan, removing the oil pump, and inspecting the bearings. As we go through the VR6 engine, we are doing several inspections to avoid a potential engine problem down the road. I will also be adding a few go fast parts. So I want to be sure the engine is in top shape. It is important to perform vehicle maintenance before performance.

Tips For Getting Your Project Car DONE ~ with EricTheCarGuy

Ericthecarguy

Today I sit down with EricTheCarGuy and talk project cars. Both ETCG and I are both way deep in getting project cars finished.
There are a lot of struggles with project cars, from budgeting projects, to staying motivated and even keeping the fun alive. This can be a lot more challenging than many people think. Also as Eric will mention we are documenting the entire process. We are teaching “how-to” and showing all our mistakes. This adds a whole new set of challenges. But in the end, it’s about building a car you will love!

Removing Carbon From Piston, Cylinder Walls, and Block Deck

Today I am removing carbon buildup from combustion chamber, the tops of the pistons, and removing debris from the engine block deck. If these areas are not clean, it can lead to hot spots in the cylinder, and a poorly sealing head gasket. I am using WD-40® Trigger Pro® and Scotchbright pads. While WD-40® does not technically “clean”, it does an amazing job of removing oils and carbon. This is a must when removing build up in an engine. WD-40® also helps displace water to prevent rust. Support for this video was provided in part by WD-40®.
