torx? no! poly drive? yes. green coolant? no! g40 coolant. yes. no high temp copper spray on gasket? no! copper spray? yes! this is just done all wrong! use copper spray on the exhaust manifold gasket also. do not use an aftermarket gasket. use the stock metal crush gasket. locktight the exhaust nuts, they expand and contract and will loosen up.

Don't use a ratchet as a hammer, mate! Right tool for the right job!

i have a 2007 a4 2.0 i just started it this morning amd a big white cloud came up, not sure if its my injectors or a head gasket problem, i replaced the valve cover gasket due to oil getting in the cylinders , i also experience heavy jerking when accelerating at times. any suggestions

@exetimes says:

@melkerekstromer6826 says:

Nice video! Did you install those headbolts dry or did you oil them before installing them?

@bostonmacosx says:

OH how did you get the timing belt on and off without undoing the front bumper?

@frankdatank5002 says:

Those fingernails omg! Nasty. Also first dude I have ever seen with long fingernails working on a car since most dudes with nails like that are friends of Rupaul….

@jfracing3716 says:

Any body talking trash about the torxs is dumb he got the job done at that’s all that matters. Gotta see it thru

@pauloneill8912 says:

your an idiot

@kurtlazarus5975 says:

Does not matter if torque wrench still set when U put it away

@michaelborrelli4225 says:

What is the position of the crank and cam when installing? Should I put crank at TDC on the mark and the cam on the mark of compression stroke? Or do you turn the crank a few degrees btdc?

@carsenhensley4560 says:

my man needs finger nail clippers

@momodoujallow6253 says:

Thanks for the video

@williamfolk3099 says:

First thing the cams and the pistons need to be aligned in correct Phassing/timing before the head is even placed on the block.
If not timed properly you could immediately bend the valves .
Crank at TDC/0 degrees and Cams on TDC timing marks.

It’s like a full instructional video on how to do it with the wrong tools

@robertwolfiii8711 says:

My car be 98 1.8 has foght me the entire time Germans must not like me much could used a friend anyway

@fueledtoyz says:

I think you need to cut your finger nails

@michellehavik2023 says:

and you fuckt up the headbolds, and the proper way to set the headbolds on ANY car is to continuesly torq the wrench… NOT to stop in the proces! dumb move. but thanks to this dumb moves? have i a real reason to be a car genius these days.

@haydenrasband1601 says:

How long did the job take? Theres a guy selling a A4 Avant Wagon for 850 with a blown head gasket and im trying to see if its worth it or not, it comes with a head gasket kit and im trying to figure out if its worth it or not.

@Phil.i.am_ says:

great content! just one thing though, the long nails dude!! The sound of the scrape and the thought of dirt and grime getting stuck under 0_0

@comboban1926 says:

Torx will work obviously but you have the chance of striping the head bolt then you are SOL, use the right tool polydrive 10mm
