What causes a Spun Bearing In an Engine? Tyler: Running the car at higher than normal operating temps, even if its just a little bit over, probably thinned the oil just enough to drop the oil pressure on your 240k mile engine, which probably had lower than normal oil pressure anyway. That would be my take away. To bad you cant really upgrade the cooling system without spending a pretty penny because of the lemons rules. Id be running thicker oil than 5W-40 on stock cooling in an E46 when racing. Good luck out there Chris! Appreciate all the cool content.

Chris, excellent content as always. I love that you are willing to go above and beyond for us viewers with the content you create.
Question, I see you guys chose Shell Rotella T6, why did you go with that brand? I know Project Farm did a good test on all the different oil brands, and I can't recall Rotella T6 performing that high. Thank you for everything!

Did I understand something wrong or didn't they had a paper in the last video where they wrote something like only street legal exhaust? So can you run without cats?
Obviously you did your research i'm just confused and since i don't live in the US and maybe in some states without cats is legal? would be so jealous of that as an exhaust sound lover lol

I honestly have never known what a spun bearing is. i ve heard it 1 million times and simply nod my head in agreement but I have no idea what they re talking about lol. I thought they were ball bearings or something. I didn t realize a bearing could be just a flat piece of metal basically. Thank you for the excellent explanation!

Amazing video, Chris you are the best. Maby one day when it comes to another project. Buy a car for less than 8k. Show the new drivers like 16yr olds (like me) what cars they should get that are reliable and may be fun at the same time! Keep up the great work

I gotta say, I did it myself and I'm glad you did it too, the eBay headers are literally amazing, Chris get a sock to put over the power steering reservoir, that little hole in the filler cap leaks more than you think when you put the track time in

When in doubt and you think you are going to overrev into danger territory just throw it in neutral and rev match a gear or 2 lower.
Not ideal but my save your engine especially in cars not designed to race like this.

This happening during a lemons race is so much good information. That's teambuilding right there. It's a cheap car, you can do proper fault diagnosis on it, and it didn't break the bank. Nice.

Does this count towards the 500 though? I mean not trying to hate but having a rebuilt engine to be more reliable, getting this getting that seems kinda opposite of the point of this.

all the e36/46 guys in the comments know exactly what i mean when i say taking corners hard in the summer heat makes ALL of em start ticking when they pull back into the pits lmao
