Today I start the engine swap I've been dreading for months, by taking out the massive 6.0 W12 from my cheap, $11,000 Bentley Continental GT. I hope you like montages. Thanks to Ferrparts for coming through with a great low mileage engine!

For ppl who are surprised about Tavarish talking Russian...He is half Russian and half Dominican...He speak English, Russian and Spanish !!
He actually lived there and fled to the Caribbean when the Soviet Union collapsed and then America.
That's a crazy mix
A lot of Dominicans recieved Scholarship to study in Russia during the 70s and 80s.. Is kinda shocking at first but I lived in DR for around 10 years in and out.. And there are a lot! Of Russians doing tourism there too..
lmao noobs. i speak english, american, british and australian.
I was always thinking of tovarisch (comrade) when reading Tavarish. So it actually makes sense now. 😂
Welcome back to the real Tavarish where projects get done.
да, очень хорошо!
We’ll see about that young man.
(Borat Voice)......Not
Hahahahaha your tavarish never finishes anything, NEVER NEVER remember this
Lol except even when this was a current project, people were complaining that it took too long.
Tavarish: hakrnabwdibwowndjwjw Me: Oops Wrong channel
😂😂😂😂
I literally cried laughing😂😂😂
Pretty Epic, now put it back together using every single piece of hardware you removed!
Samcrac , love your videos bro !
Watching KZhead instead of working on your projects, I see. You should change your name to Rich Rebuilds
If you shoulder bolts it's just proof you made it better!
@@halorox256 OUCH. Also many people are like that, me incluided. I have a project car for 2 years plus, didn't even start it and can't even buy myself a camera to film it on. Watching is easier :(
@@hellothere4507 I'm with you. Wanting to build a genises and film it but gotta save. Most of us cant just drop thousands on a car in a week
I was hoping you would of wore your Adidas track suit while doing this
leave that to Tyler Hoovie
While listening to some Hardbass.
Would have
Nico!!!
@The Stigs Romanian Cousin lol Așa am auzit că erau fake-urile pe vremuri. Dar nu le-am văzut niciodată..
Four days of hard work and fifteen mins of video. Respect his work.
Just setting up the camera and filming it himself over 4 days and switching out memory cards and transferring files, not to mention the time cutting and editing the video, all on top of the actual work that went into the car, this video had a lot of work go in to it!
Yeah Tav is kind of a big deal, seems humble while having a sense of humor.
Charles Proteus Steinmetz Yeah, a lot of camera work to make a 1 day job just pulling an engine in a Bentley gt into a 4 day job without showing in the slightest bit how to actually do any of the wrk while filming himself do it since why would he make it possible for everyone else to tear apart and do the same job? Nah, just spend 3 days filming a one day job for shot and giggles for the montage that has no educational value. Yep.
How many people watching this are going to NEED to pull the engine out of a Bentley Continental? I'm here purely for the shits and giggles.
Freddy a beast. Took out the engine with no help.
When you pulled off that front wheel, I thought, "Damn, that really is a VW underneath." The front suspension looks exactly like what was under our B5 Passat. Oh yeah, and the fact that the first step in any engine maintenance procedure is "Remove the front of the car," gave me flashbacks.
Yeah, that intercooler looks exactly like one on a mk4 tdi.
I'm more amazed he got those bitch bolts out without the heat and beat method.
*Tavarish speaking Russian in front of the Bentley* Bentley - “BLYAT PLEASE NO!!!!”
I have a feeling that car has heard plenty of Russian conversations... mostly about vodka.
Never again attempt humour
@@martinallenuk Most of the conversations were about what would be considered a believable amount of mileage to set the odometer back to before reselling (again)... little did they know Tyler Hoover will buy literally anything.
True that. An image of Hoovie should replace that meme that says shut up and take my money!
@National Patriot Council Although I agree, it does not exonerate Freddy or Trump.
I’m pretty sure the Bentley heard plenty of mumbling because the driver and the passengers HAD plenty of vodka 👍
1 year ago : *has 4 cars* "i have too many projects* Now : *has 20 cars* "OKAY GUYS WE GOT ANOTHER CAR"
Русское вступление к русскому Бентли! Молодец, Товарищ! Russian intro to the Russian Bentley! Well done, Comrade
Just wanted to point out a couple of mistakes you made: You bought a Bentley. With high mileage. From Russia. Once you fix those mistakes you'll be fine.
You forgot that he also bought it for Hoovie.
It all about the views.. views... it don't ever had to work since.... 10 million views would enough to cover the cost...
You should rebuild that engine and put it in the 300 Z now there’s a project.
Yes just yes.
@@michaelyounes29 most VAG cars have transverse mounted engines. But it might fit in a Phaeton!
@@VolkerHett I though this was the Phaeton engine
@@Biker_Gremling sort of. I'm pretty sure the phaeton wasn't turbo
I litterally cant upvote this enough
So the ABS light comes on when the motor builds vacuum because there’s a leak to the brake booster Once the booster builds vacuum it goes away The brake booster line comes off the side of the engine that the master is mounted on the firewall wall i’ve seen a lot of Volkswagen and Audi’s have the same problem
That's what I was thinking too, literally the only thing I could think of that would corelate engine RPM's and ABS.
MAN_ON_WHEELZ yeah I know right Unless it has a Electric vacuum pump And possibly a week alternator or something causing the problem of low vacuum from the pump “Ford”
Hey M.R. you ever done a starter on a audi w12? Been reading up on it and seems to cone out thru the bottom without pulling out the motor. You have any insight into that?
4 days to take out - 4 months to put back in 😁
Loved the Russian. Always nice to hear someone speak it.
about the ABS light, perhaps it comes on at low RPMs because there isn’t enough vacuum being drawn on the brake booster?
I think it is because the alternator brings not enough power at that low rev
Bentley -Needs new mass air flow sensor Tavarish- change whole engine 😑😑😑
harris Dawood omg i am laughing si hard, that was awesome. It’s true though mass air broken change the whole engine. I can’t stop laughing.
Issa Volks,change one,got shot twice
Unfortunately that's what you get when you dont know what you doing
Needs good content for views..
I’m pretty sure it had a few other problems when Hoovie owned it didn’t it? Turbo’s nuked and that.
Dude. You r insanely smart whn it comes to cars. OMG
Engine: I just need a few plugs bro Tavarish: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS
The Rock..
Wow, that Russian intro was so well done the video clicked me! Da.
Lol...I was checking subtitles and thinking “did Tavarish actually speak Russian or was it voiced over”? Great video and interested to see that engine torn down.
I really enjoy watching your videos, Tavarish. You are a good teacher and seem to be a very nice chap, with a good personality. Thank you!
Very impressed with your knowledge of Russian,
@@anonymouse7074 he's Russian.
f266101463 He was born there but raised in the States.
He seems of Turkic descent if you imbeciles need to know his genealogy, rather than his nativity.
da eto byla udyvitelna :)
@@anonymouse7074 Russian mom, Dominican dad.
Не плохо заговорил, я просто в шоке,,, даже пришлось несколько раз перематывать чтоб поверить.
Я тоже охренел от неожиданности, тоже перематывал )))). С Днём Победы, бро!
Amazing great video. I salute u for ur strong determination and hard work. My all time fav automotive channel.
I've been looking forward to the Bentley! Thank you so much!
Use the old Bentley engine in another project, massive turbos and some brap brap brap
Luccas Deltreggia Sartori you do know the “brap brap brap” comes from a Rotary engine right?
I would love to see some crazy engine swap! Bentley powered F350 Dually? Bentley powered Viper?
Pop that engine in a boat!
I reckon that engine would make an insane volvo sleeper
2 Gtx45 turbos
Where does your skill come from? Amazing determination! Well done sir!
Wow, as a one man job you win Sir 10/10 🙌🏼 Also the editing is perfection 👍🤘🏽
WOW!!! i have changed dozens of motors in my life but man you have balls of steel! I would be up every night with ensomnia worrying about get that back together and actually running! You are the man!😁
I'm Impressed. That was amazing. That goes way beyond wrench everyday. You can work on my Bentley anytime. Roger, Vista, Ca
Meanwhile in Russia... kzhead.info/sun/p8WFptOOj3h6oIU/bejne.html
@@ArturovKanal 😂🤣
That is why it does not have compression. They got it drunk with vodka... it's so cheap over there. The further you go to the east the vodka gets cheaper and water gets expensive. Greetings from Romania
And an engine can run alright on vodka 😂
@@nagow_360 yes but you destroy all the plastic hoses and stuff. That is why there is needed a conversion to run E85.
I really enjoyed the edit style of this episode, that music cues zoom in and out timelapse was fantastic. And as mechanic that works on VAG cars, I can sympathize for they difficulty of this car rebuild.
Your attitude, personality, and creative thinking as well as choreography in this video is one above the rest. Youre doing great!
From England. That was scary but amazing. I am very impressed. I did loads of work on a Bentley 40 years ago......but it was made in 1948!
You look so confident in the time lapse, great acting!
Oh, it's not acting lol.
I blame Tavarish for the fact that I get nothing done. I get lost watching his videos and waste too much time. Plus, after watching I’m exhausted. Very impressive work. One of the best auto KZheadrs. And seems like genuinely good guy. Love it.
Reallly good videography on this one tavarish A+++ very visually striking.
Hey, Doug DeMuro gave you a name drop on his yellow Lambo review :-)
Tavarish ! Your next car has to be an Lada "Zhiguli"!
Been waiting for this video since you got the new engine! About time, hope you keep on this project.
i'm so glad you finally started working on this car. i like all your other videos but this was the car the brought me to your channel.
HEY GUYS tavarish-fix here! And today I'm gonna show you how to swap my cheap Bentley's eninge! Out with the old, and in with the new!
sysierius and the best part- we’re doing it all with common hand tools
@@cperone2000 no soapy wooder?
it's your car you don't have to apologize to anybody for not knowing what you're doing and that's how you figure out what to do....school of hard knocks brother...good job....
You are brave! The clips of you disassembling it with the music was oddly satisfying!
Wow! Congrats on this one, Freddy! That is an enormous amount of work. Great job!
Wow! You sir have balls of steel! No one in their right mind would take on a project like this without some sort of knowledge of the vehicle... hats off to you my man! Can't wait to see this beast working properly!
"it has low compression" "i have not done a compression test". WTF! Could be a bad mass air flow sensor, o2 sensor, blocked catalythic converter, bad ignition module, but we replace the engine instead and fix the problem later! Good thinking!
or....take a look at the passengerside intercooler...
The engine has bad compression, Tavarish didn't do one himself but Hoovies did when he owned the car.
Yeah but that would probably get way less views thus making less money. It's all about the content.
I get it why does what he does. Car full of gremlings can be so frustrating... He prob earn hours by replacing the engine right away. But still... maf wasnt even connected and no effort to try to fix the original engine.
Yes finally! Thank you for making this awesome content about the bentley. Awesome car, would love to know how you like it when its properly driveable
I love your fast forward working on the car the music is just incredible.
If it was me I’d diagnose the car first and fix the maf sensor and vacuum lines before swapping entire engine
The cars mileage has been rolled back several times. That engine could be a ticking time bomb. Probably not worth the investment to get it running again without knowing the mileage and abuse
There was a lot more wrong with it, as you'll see in the next video
I recently moved to Estonia , where Russian cars go to die . Good call on the engine swap , most of these cars are fubar to a level that is mind blowing , fix one thing , find something else , fix that , find something else , find mystery previous “repair” , the rabbit hole is deep , daa
i enjoy living vicariously thru your videos . I have always been a car guy at heart. you know life happens .....so thank you! for your videos
Congratulations !!!! You have a lot ahead of you. Best of luck
I keep seeing the million mile lexus in the background, video anytime soon?
Don’t swap the ECM’s. Unless you have already defended the Immobilizer.
Defeated*
I think the immobilizers are pretty easy on these early 2000s VWs.
The vw immo3 is a easy defeat on normal vw & audi But the immobilizer 3 in the Phaeton/audi A8, (Touareg Q7/Cheyanne). Are different cause the system is split three ways..J519 body control module, steering column lock, ECM. This was the predecessor of the immo4 which is currently being used for all models 2005.5 and up
Please tell us the compression numbers after the fact :) Just curious
Congrats Tavarish! 👍🙏👌 I reckon never having pulled a Bentley Continental GT motor & trans before, you certainly did a great job ~ Kudos mate. The motor is freaking huge. There’s so much redundancy built into these engines ~ it’s ridiculous. Cheers mate.
Impressive work man!
Man. I'm impressed. No B.S. This guy is an animal...
Finally! Super stoked to see some much needed love going to cars other than your lambos!!
Thank you for this vid! As someone that waned to save up and buy one of these off craigslist, now I know everything would be involved in general maintenance and cant wait to buy something else instead! Was informative and entertaining. Subscribed
Imagine partnering with Garage 54 channel on a project, it would be EPIC :)
You need hardbass and Adidas on your channel
That's ambitious... And I'm dreading just changing my valve cover gasket...
thooke222 I’m literally in the same position, except with my oil pan gasket, which should be easier. I do have a pending engine mount as well.
@@gallardogd560 unless you have a miata lol...
The oil pan gasket and oil pan, since it is damaged, are for a Jaguar XKR coupe, and the engine mount is for a Jeep.
Love your editing bro!! Keep up the good work!
Your slo motion change into time lapse video right on cue with the Chang in tempo of the music... great editing man!
Tovarishch, tovarisch or tovarish (Russian: Товарищ) is a Russian word meaning: Comrade, Friend, Colleague, or Ally. Source: Wikipedia
Y como aprendio ruso?
@@tattoophilia1 comentas en un video de ingles, en un comentario sobre ruso, hablando español?
tattoophilia1 I don’t speak Spanish but I guess the answer to your question is that Tavarish is half Russian.
@@Conservator. yeah he was asking that, the funny thing is how many lenguages are involve in this
CHRIS03 yeah, and I’m Dutch ;)
Bad Maf sensor? Don't worry, well do a motor swap for ya!😏
Spoken like a true paid mechanic..lol
😂
Yeah I was gonna say... bad harness and some vacuum leaks? Time for a new engine!!
@@shahbazahmad-ud6kj 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg All the reason 🤣🤣
I would say yes, the engine didn't run right because of wrong or bad wiring, I had a similar issue with my 2004 Honda and it wasn't giving any high rpms just the mid 3-4k and that's it. Took about 2 days to repair it and now it works like a champ.
Wow. I’m impressed. I couldn’t do that in 4 months! Lol That was some serious mechanical work. Wish you luck on the next phase.
Back to the 'getter done' Tavarish….my kinda video. Keep it up!!!
There is no way I would want to tackle this project. No thank you !!!
If you had the time, money and tools you probably would... I would if I had all 3
Congratulations on a huge milestone! Unreal work, dude!
Many props to your determination! Fingers crossed to your success.
This was epic man! That looked tough as hell! Nice job for "not knowing what you're doing" lol
bro, I'd take the throttle bodies off, plugs out and compression test that old engine...that would be the best thing to do💪
@@demetrytrofimchik4704 maybe you don't understand modern engines and car manufacturing. unless there is gross negligence in the treatment of that engine, it could still be good. Bentley is a top tier car company. they know how to make engines that last long. 3 months ago i witnessed a 250k+ LS engine out of a plumbing work truck compression test perfect numbers. now it will be put in a drift car. are you saying Chevy can build a better engine than Bentley?
@@demetrytrofimchik4704 you say it's a gross nightmare without ANY evidence of internal engine damage. as far as that nasty wiring, who says that wasn't a crappy mechanic doing a bad job? you won't know if that engine is junk until you test it PERIOD! your presumptions are meaningless opinions until Tavarish tests that engine!
I like that you just jump in and do it!
Tavarish, you're an absolute legend! I would be really interested in knowing your story/history, you really know stuff about cars!
3 times I watched this video and I enjoyed every time. Very good filming and the song was great too. 👍
This kind of video is the reason I subscribed :D Keep it up Freddy!
Excellent work, Mr T. Good luck with the next steps.
I remember the days when you were sitting on a 100k subs man keep churning love the videos congrats
Rebuild the engine. An add holley stand alone ecm an put the w12 in the F355. With bigger turbos.
Ls swap the Bentley.
Or put that in his million Mike Lexus Classic sleeper style 😍
w12 weighs to much
Always diving in both arms and both legs. Love it brotha. NO FEAR !
hats off to you for taking on this job. that car looks like a major pita to work on
Love these cars watching this with great interest your sir are a bloody legend massive respect at you for taking this on
Privet Tavarish! Can you possibly talk one day on how you organize all the parts you remove from the car? Keeping track of all parts seems like a very difficult task
It is lol. I track removed hardware normally by putting the fastener back in place after the component is removed, or using a piece of cardboard as a template. I've also used paint pens/sticks to color code positions, angles, etc. Those are also good for harnesses, if you're removing one.
I was just thinking this. With all the projects hes got going on at once and then to tackle this major task hes got to do some serious storage and organization to keep everything straight. You dont want to accidentally put anything in the wrong place or lose something on these supercar projects, it's not like building an IKEA bookshelf where you expect to have a few extra parts afterwards!
It's a nice idea Though I really suspect that he'll do it in Russian 😂😂😂
In Soviet Russia, car disassembles you!
"one side has low compression, I have not done a compression test but" hahahahaha 😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣 if anything your good for a laugh!
It's so fascinating to watch this Bentley's life. Starting from Hoovie finding a gun in the trunk, to Tavarish dissecting it this far to find more and more surprises.
Keep up the great work Freddy the content is fantastic
Put the replacement engine in while it's fresh in your mind!
good advice. i pulled a bmw diesel motor out of a 335d and rebuilt it. took 6 months and by the time i went to install it, i'de forgotten where everything went. It looks like he's not labeling any wires or taking pictures. Thats gonna be a nightmare to put back together.
Hi Freddie, Could you do a video on this big VW 😜 with Humble Mechanic Charles? I’d love to see you two working on this baby and discussing how to do things!
I have mad respect for you!!! I wouldn't have had the brass to pull the engine out of my vehicle until I heard your story about having to reinstall that torque converter in the rain!!!!! You should call yourself Pushkin!!!!
Great job. Tons of hours.. OMG !!! Nothing easy anymore... lol...Congrats on getting the engine out. Beautiful car.... Jim in NY
Congrats man! Great job! This was a very well made video, really perfect. Thanks :)
Man you worked really hard pulling a 12 cylinder engine alone is insane. ilike it
And from a bently
Absolutely daunting and amazing episode. Second to no one other car channel!
Gratuitous armpit shot at 8:56 - without breaking a sweat!!! You're my hero.
