Excellent Video. Just FYI, you could have saved a lot of headaches if you would have spent another 10 mins removing the radiator and bumper. Sure, you'd have to recover the AC system but getting the engine in and out would have been a lot easier, plus the hood wouldn't have to come out. I really appreciate this video and the knowledge shared. I just completed this same job. You are the boss my friend.

Eric just likes to create tension. Will Eric see the missing motor mount nuts? But of course this _is_ Eric O. Grand Master Mechanic so at 9: 45 he casually puts the nuts on and tightens them to factory specs, using the quik-tite torque wrench. I have seen him be ultra-careful with factory specs every time it actually matters, e. g. head bolts, cam-shaft bolts, trainey bolts.

Great series Eric. I know this video is 3-1/2 years old but i just watched all five parts of the engine swap. After all that work why on earth did you apparently keep the old smells like gas and exhaust coolant in the overflow reservoir? (Maybe it just looked old through the plastic) Could have drained and filled with new for minimal cost. (Less than a gallon of 50/50)

you might try Grammerly - it's free. In the rolling text in the video at 56: 53, 9 months sense the repair should be 9 months since the repair I have watched a bunch of your videos, interesting, entertaining and informative.
PS About the oil pan damage; could that have happened at the scene of the wreck, or tow truck? Or could you see the fork imprint?

Nice job Eric those flat rates don't allow for rusted on parts or plastic connectors that have gotten brittle and parts people who don't give a crap and careless junk yard people. I am a retired heavy equip. mech.

I watched the entire series waiting to see the washer tee being replaced. I must have fell asleep at some point and missed it. I guess I am going to have to watch the whole thing again some time.

Impossible to imagine drivetrains this cramped and complicated in the days when primitive motor oil meant engines needed complete dismantling and reassembly every few thousand miles.
