How to Replace an Engine in Your Car (Swap)
one, two, three, four! Rev up your engines! It’s time for the Scotty Kilmer Channel,
if you need to change the engine in your car, then today’s your lucky day,
because today I’m going to show you how to change an engine in your car, now you
have to take everything off the old engine, including the exhaust manifold
and the intake manifold assembly and the fuel injectors have to be taken off, then
you hook the engine puller chains to the holders, there’s one here in the back
and one on the front to pull it up, then pop it up to clear the engine bay and out
it comes, then you slide the new engine in make sure you have the hoist on nice
and tight, the hardest part is sliding the engine into the transmission and
that’s why I have this engine leveler here I can crank it to tilt the engine
to get it in, now you might think this engine hoist and the stabilizer costs a
whole bunch of money, but I bought it on sale at Harbor Freight tools, the engine
hoist is only 110 bucks on sale and the leveler for it was only $45, so when you
consider the thousand bucks or more mechanic will charge to put an engine in,
hey it’s worth it, then once you wiggle and shake and bolt the transmission on,
put the exhaust manifold back on and bolt it up and then both the intake
manifold on too, and before you hook everything else up, it’s a good idea to
start it up to make sure the engine works, well here goes nothing and now we can hook up the alternator
and everything else and get back on the road, it was a big job, but hey it’s worth
it, knowing that you did it yourself and you did it right,

That was easy. lol.
where do i connect an engine level
Now I know using a harbor freight engine hoist is safe. Thanks Scotty!
This has to be Scotty's most useless video.
This video is really helpful for guys who think you should put the new in engine before you remove the old one.
Don't even try it if you are not a real mechanic. You can screw the rest of the things that are working properly too.
If only things that seem easy are easy…
You forgot to mention (among other things) that you have to remove the gearbox also, you cannot lift the engine with the gearbox on.
looks pretty easy
Mechanic charged me $2500 to install engine on my Honda cuz it “needed more parts”
i have a question, anybody welcome to answer please
if u have a car that have 150k to 350k miles on, and you replace the engine with a brand new one, does make your car a new one since the engine is new ?
another word does changing your engine makes your car a new one engine wise ?
please i need your opinions / advice/ experience
Remember to label connectors on the wiring harness and label where each bolt goes
Why do you make it sound easy 😂😂
You make it look so easy, sheesh
according to this i could have my engine swapped before my buddy gets back from my fridge with the beer
Does the mileage stay the same on the dash?
Oh good didn’t think the gearbox needed removing.
Oh it takes longer on a scooter…
You said Toyota celicas are reliable ,if so why did you swap the engine???
I've never seen a video make engine swapping look so easy. Lmao makes me want to try it
I think this video was sponsored by harbor freight.
I have 1992 xelica 2.2
I referenced this in a recent q&a saying "it has everything you need to know".
If im not a licence mechanic and i saw that's video should I do that's?
I can't stop laughing at these comments
2 minuets and 11 seconds to replace an engine?? im sold sign me up
It could cost me either 4 k's, or this, lol…
Useless video as usual scotty make fun of himself
Why do you spend longer talking about decorative car mats than replacing an engine in your car?
Scotty love the video
I bought a new engine at Tesco. Unscrewed my old engine with couple of bolts, and put the new engine in. Took me 40 mins. Then went off to the black tie dinner.
i love these videos but does anyone find them useful? it skips so many steps i'm not sure how you can actually use it unless you already know what to do.
is this video a joke? no pulling cv axles so draining oil and coolant motor mounts removing and replacing an engine is an extremley involved job , i dont understand how his channel is so succsesful
Wish it was really this easy.
Hi scotty i hope you are all well.
I have vw golf 1.6 2002 automatic.
Engine is gone.
Is it difficult to change automatic engine or its the same procedure as manual engine ? And also should i take out the engine with the transmission or just the engine out ?
Help please
I bet that new engine will last you another several hundred thousand miles.
I like that black Celica better than the 1994, but the 94 is something special
I guess having to do this is punishment for getting a car from my grandmother who never had the oil changed
scotty makes it look so easy

Hey Scotty. I've got a 08 dodge Dakota with a blown engine 5.2l. A friend offered to give me a v6 out of a Dakota he had laying around. I was wondering if the engine would bolt up to the old v8 transmission. And if it does what would I have to do with the ecu. Should I use the one from the v6 or keep the one for the v8. I've looked online and can't find anything I could understand.
Used this video as a tutorial on replacing my 6.0
Hey is that bike a katana 600?
Need to remove my MERCEDES ENGINE, study/learn dissembly/re-assemble.
So I can make/replace/repair myself DIY, with pre-preg carbon fiber!
2 minutes? What took you so long lol
Did Scotty just replaced an engine in 2 min 😯
Wow you make it look very easy
Scotty where do you buy your used toyota engine or any used engine?
As a mechanic I use the phrase here gose nothing all the time
Didn’t Know you could just remove the engine with the transmission still attached!
I can about 50 engines a day according to this video
I alway been told this wasnt as hard as it look likes, but whit you it looks easy.
Wtf 😂 sure that is easy 😁
An engine swap in two minutes and ten seconds. Not bad. Installation is just the reverse of removal.
Daaaamn, it took me a hole 10 minutes to replace mine
What do I need to swap the engine out of my 2004 Pontiac gto to put into my 2006 Cadillac cts
Link to buy a Japanese engine ?
A regular Joe wouldn't be able to do that. But at least they can see how it's done.
Will I have to worry about electrical work ? Swapping to a v8 in a 2000 Camaro
But scotty I've been trying to shake my motor and tranny back on for 2 days. I dont get it 🤷♂️🤯
Scotty makes it sound so easy
are there any bolts that hold the engine from flying out of there as your tooling down the road?
Maybe you could give us a video that goes into a little more detail than just; pull the old one out and throw the new one in! HAHA!
Replacing an actual engine is like the 10 hours of compulsory reading on course material and this video is the one page of a slide show that the prof spends on talking about said content.
How many hours should it take to do this to take apart an engine put in the new engine
No need to drain an oils, coolants, unhook intakes, cables, bolts and so on lol
I wish it took 2 min to take a motor out and put one in lol. Awesome video though
i dont know alott about cars but that sounds like a great deal for the engine hoist
1:50 I don’t think you should run an engine without an alternator.
Hahahaha that easy…
is it possible to change engine from a 4cyl boxer engine to a inline 4 and iis it possible to chanmge from a 4 switch engine to a 6 switch engine
Scotty don’t make it look so easy 😂 after all no sweat 😓 Lol
Rare video of changing a toyota engin
Yep… you made that look way too easy lol 🙂
This was fuckin hilarious
Can you swap an engine from right hand drive car to left hand car?
I wish he was my best friend and my neighbor.
What if it’s not the same size and type of engine though?
How long does it actually really take to change an engine with basic mechanic skills??
This video is worthless. Left out so much important info. Didn't show unbolting the trans(including flex plate if auto) didn't show removing the mounts or unplugging the harness. Also must be really nice to just have the engine come out of the car that easily after unbolting it. He didn't show the wiggling it out of the trans or angling it out around obstacles in the engine bay.
Why did you put that pulley on the windshield dosen't belong there
Wow
101st!!!!
Did you know Scotty did time. Killed a guy over a sandwich. Ronald Reagan commuted his sentence for changing his oil.
Oh
Ok
I want to do this with a Nissan 300zx z31. Thing is it needs a new wiring harness and computer which got water damaged. Did you install a new wiring harness in this celica?
I feel like there’s a lot more to it….
Now I'll show you how to play the piano. Just press the keys on the piano so that it plays a song. Don't forget to ring that bell.
Taking it out and put it back in, is the easy part. Getting it all out back together properly, with the right short/long length bolts in the right holes, is the hard part. 🔩🔩??? – Humpty Dumpty had it easy.
i wish my life were this simple
He explains it like its a bolts on part
Don't u have to reprogram the computer to make sure it except some new motor
How to swap an engine
Scotty: Use your brain.
Just remove the three clips get the new engine out of trunk pop it in put the three clips back on and off you go. Videos over a year old but still the same
It’s so simple!
Swapped the Engine in my Wife's 2004 Honda Civic.
It was easier to leave the Transmission and Engine together- and remove them at the same time. Honda's are not that hard to work on. Saved my wife $3000.00 on the Engine swap alone. Installed the following because the car has 199000 miles on it:
1) New Fuel Pump
2) New Alternator
3) New Purge Valve
4) New Battery
5) New CV AXLES
6) New Lower Ball Joints
7) New Evaporator Coil
After all the work was done She decided to not buy a new Car. Essentially the Car is like new- because of all the new Components and newer Engine installed. The Car runs great.
Alright so I dont want to seem stupid but what all would I need to do to put a truck engine in a car? Is it as simply as out with the old in with the new or what?
