Trying to Rebuild an Engine with No Instructions 

The Junkyard Wars/Scrapheap Challenge enthusiast in me wants to see you put this in a boat.

It's nice to see an old married couple who still make life work

I love the "I'm a race car driver now I don't do regular work" attitude when Jeremiah first walks in.

this is why this chanel has made it this far and has more to come. they have an idea, take action, face defeat, get back up, take a new angle, try again and follow through, making enjoyable and educational content along the way. this team is amazing so glad yall do what you do.

I wish donut made a far longer video of this rebuild.

Quote of the day "Whatever it's a honda"😂

I love the back n forth banter between these 2 But Zach's silent scream as he walks away from getting his ankle demolished had me dying @ 5:18

I love this bc I’ve been praying for Honda content ever since watching the channel. And this engine rebuild helps me out a ton for my own learning and hopefully building

Jeremiah walking in and starting beef is so funny

Jeremiah is a menace to society

I love the chill vibe of this episode. Reminds me of hanging at the skatepark with the boys back in the day. Gaaaahd I'm old now

That was a fun idea! Very cool episode, I laughed a lot. Thanks!

Episode idea: Do an engine rebuild with only cheap weekend warrior tools and show where good tools would have made things better.

It would be epic to make the Chang Li a hybrid!!

As a student in school for diesel tech, I actually had to do this with an international D466 we did have the torque specs and the specs for the valve lash, but that's the only things we used the manual for. It took my group about 11 weeks to get our engine apart, put back together, and have it run. It was a cool process and I recommend it for anyone who has the time and money and wants to learn all the ins and outs of an engine

I laughed out loud at your antics. It is great that the engine survived.

Respect for how smart they really are, all fun in games but lads got real skills.

"How hard could it be?" Famous last words of the Donut team 😂 another great video!

If y’all could release all the footage of the build to the channel that would be sick!

That leg bit was so outta pocket, I love it.

Always my favorite Donut Duo 😭😂

It's about time you two got back together! I miss watching Jerry and Jobey's hilariousness!

Love this style of video. The duo is back

I love Jeremiah's chaotic energy

“Take it apart and put it back together” Well that sums up donut! 😂

That headline sounds ominous! Sounds like it's gonna be a scary episode!

the first five minutes are filled with so many things that make me tense up its unreal. i love it

these guys are the best donut duo

That was cool. I give it 3 brownies. You need to put that engine in a golf cart, preferably a Yamaha. They have the chassis to hold it. Thank you for your time.

If you have ever wondered what it's like to work on a car with your buddy, this is a perfect example lol great video

Jerry and Jobe are the 2 funniest dudes to put together from Donut lmao

D series, d16 was the first engine I ever rebuilt, it's so simple and taught me all the basics I loved it, good times

More Zach and Jeremiah build videos. Great content to watch two guys that know what they’re doing tackle a peoject

Hey, you know what would be pretty sick ? To try to build a go-kart with an engine such as this one, kinda like the guys from Grind Hard Plumbing Co are doing

I'm not a honda expert on anything besides my own but doing rod bearings on my J35z2 taught me a few things. Right away the lack of an angle torque spec was a little worrying, cause the rod caps for my engine was 35ftlbs and then 90 degrees. Head bolts were worse, that I believe was a two step lbft sequence of like 45 and then 80 and after that it was 3 rounds of 90 degrees in the sequence, I was very tired after that and I was just changing out cylinder 6's piston with cylinder 3 from my first engine. (After doing rod bearings my engine went on to run another 20 minutes, I blame myself for not using assembly lube on literally anything even though I bought a tube of it. I have since swapped a third j35z2, this one being out of a 2014 RDX, into my crosstour, got about 1800 miles on it so far)

This is the stuff I subscribed for, a whole lot of hold my beet n watch THIS!

Reusing old engine bolts (and then overtorquing them) seems like a great way to cause catastrophic engine failure at some random time in the furure.

Nice job! It sounded pretty weird to me, but I'm guessing that is because it had not exhaust on it. I wouldn't have a clue on any of those torque specs, so you guy are killing it.

We need more of this

Had a class in high school where we took apart and reassembled a lawnmower engine. That was simple enough for me to understand. Can't imagine trying to do a multi-cylinder engine, especially blind.

I would love seeing you guys trying with the VQ engines of the 350Z 🤣

OK, this was a brilliant video. Great chemistry, fun idea, excellent execution! Super fun to watch!

I absolutely love this video i love Jeremiah struggling on the engine 😭

even the PLUGG is dope cant skip it

Bolt torques are really important for a good long-lasting engine. But I stripped and rebuilt my corolla's 1971 engine when I was 16 without even knowing what a torque wrench was for. And it ran for almost a year, until I blew a piston and decided to buy a crate replacement. Just to get an engine started and run for a while you can forget about torque, as long as the bolts aren't actually loose and the head is properly tight on the gasket, it will start and run just fine.

This is my favorite car channel. You guys are the ones that got me into all this and I owe you guys so much❤️❤️ I love you guys.

These guys make a great team.

When he was smacking the valve cover, all I could hear was the percolator beat😂😂

Koenigsegg not even being mentioned he is a crime.

I think in the future, it would be cool to post the correct torque next to the guessed torque to see how far they were.

Yess!!! Please do more engine tear downs if possible

I love my 95 civic with my d15b7, this is just what I needed after a long day at work !

Instead of being some sort of "challenge" episode, i honestly wish they took the opportunity to make this a money pit episode and showed strategies you could use when reassembling something without instructions. If you're working on a make of car thats not that well documented its extremely common to do things without any instructions of any form

Hey Donut, been a big fan of your channel I absolutely love that you are doing some things that I thought would be impossible, but you guys make it possible, love the new content that you post on RU-vid.

6:11 The look at Zach's face just says "I really left ECS Tuning for this..." 😂

With no instructions: has a whole team of actually qualified mechanics

I need to try doing this if i ever get my hands on an extra engine that i dont need. Doubt that will ever happen but i'm intrigued to see how i'd do with zero instructions. 😂

Put it in a motorcycle, I’ve always wondered if putting a slow 90hp car engine in a bike would make it super fast, and if it’s even possible!

best part of video: the way jerry says "she sounds great" at the end lol

I love it when you guys make videos on what NOT to do to your car

You guys should definitely put the old civic motor in the Chang Li truck!

Never been so anxious watching someone torque a wrench lol

“You want to know what’s tight 💨” Had me dead 💀

just went thru this w/ my crx, twas fun!

Day 394 of asking James to do an Up to Speed on his Dad

I wish you all had made a more comprehensive video of this build. But just the same, I snorted out with laughter quite a few times. Loverly video gentlemen!

I rebuilt my EJ25 having never did this myself before. I also port/polished the heads and added headstuds. I too afraid the pull the pin on the timing tensioner though. It just sits in my living room, in a corner on a stand. At least my wife is cool with it. The ‘98 forester with 98k original miles is just sitting out back in the yard. I weedeat around it at least.

Good job guys!👍🏼

sounds like a landmower😂 great video👍🏼

Man I was really expecting the editor to throw a little clip of them smashing the oil-pan on there after Jerry pointed out the oil leak lol

"Whatever, it's a Honda" felt that

When Jerry said everything looks fine I was like it’s going to explode

I did the exact same thing in putting back a international scout model 80 Back together with all the screws gone and several parts lost. I feel for these guys

Should make this a Series. Taking apart cars just to put them back together slowly. Making the Frankenstein for cars.

Jeremy Clarkson: "How hard can it be?" Richard Hammond: "DON'T SAY THAT!"

Jerry and Zach is the best combo ever!

“Where does that go””some where” is the most real backyard mechanic thing ever said, as someone who’s said that before 😅😂

The fact you run a certified tire ad on your own video is crazy 😂💵

From donut every day to donut maybe twice a week.

I haven’t watched the video but I just came to comment that they’d better have given y’all a FAT raise.. All engines are different and require different specs among millions of other things.. Being a mechanic consist of always learning something new

I love it ! I literally have rebuilt that exact engine with no instructions as well s many other honda motors , u need a hand for another video I'll be a guest host

06:00 Reminds me of a picture I have of a colleague eating noodles over Doviziosos 3 Million Dollar Moto GP Bike 🤣💀

Can't wait to see the episode where they fix the timing before putting it in a boat.

Jobe is hilarious when he's angry lmaoo.

This Motor In The Chang Li would be awesome

Would watch a 60 min version of this anytime.

I refuse to believe these two aren't siblings

I would definitely like to see it go in the chen lei I always thought those had potential if a person could get them cheap enough and with no electric parts and you put in your own little electric or gas engine

i love the line of "how hard could it be" remind me of old Top Gear 🤣

"How hard could it be" should be a series

As a humble D-series owner myself, it would be cool to see it built up. Or maybe even boosted someway and just pushed to the max. The boat idea sounds dope, too.

Nice goldwing back there, I wonder is there any project surround it, I wish so, it's so cool.

6:20 this was the best thing ever. Farts are a classic!

Take pictures and label everything, that worked wonders for me.

With no instructions? Ah yes the Mat Armstrong way. 😂

Zach and Jerry are such fun to watch

credit to the editor, those slaps coupled with the slaps of the beat was awesome.

My Summer Car taught me more about engine rebuilds than I realize...

The lack of assembly lube and all around basic procedures is both hilarious and terrifying

Putting the engine in a boat would be cool. Lmao kinda feels like Jeremiah just came to out to the shop to torment Zach. “You know what’s tight?” *farts*
