6 Month Update:

Engine swap is finally done. She sounds mean as ****. Was dealing with massive misfiring on both banks, found out it was due to a vaccum leak - go figure.

Ocean City's H20 is just a few month away, so im working hard to get some new wheels for her. Either way, im excited as hell to finally have my car back after a year of work. Heres some videos of it, first start and finally getting it out of the garage!

Back in June of 2016 I purchased my first car at the age of 19. I've always been a huge fanboy for Audi's because of their aggressive look, even stock out of the factory. I was drawn by the fact that not a lot of car's nowadays looks aggressive, because more manufacturers are going for that "eco", "family friendly" look and I despise it!

After doing some looking, I came across the S4 platform. A beefed up Audi A4, with a 4.2L V8. I fell in love.

Quattro, 6 speed, AND V8?? SOLD.

butttt I had some major problems with the car when I bought it. I jumped the gun and didn't do enough research before purchasing it and I took the fall.

B6/B7 S4's are notorious for timing guide failure and scored cylinders. Just my luck, my car had both.

I was burning 1QT of oil ever 300 miles, meaning every 2 days I had to spend $10 on oil just to keep it from blowing up. I did this for about a year before my timing guide took a crap and my motor when boom.

That was a year ago, July of 2017.

Fast forward a few months and I bit the bullet and purchased a new motor for her. $4500 later. Yeaaa.

It's a donor motor with 65,000 miles on it, so its a baby. Painted the Valve covers white, I want that motor to pop when I open the hood


New motor up from, old one in the back on the lift

I'm currently in the process of putting it back in, everything is slow paced due to not having a lot of friends available and honestly since this is the first time i've ever pulled a motor and put one back in. I'm learning on the way and I don't wanna rush anything.
