After 2 Years I Rebuilt My Broken Evo 9

I’ve said many times that my Evo 9 is my favorite car I’ve ever driven, so it’s been tough having it on jack stands for nearly two years. Thankfully, I’m prioritizing 4G63s in 2024, which means Lana lives again! In this episode, we rebuild, upgrade, and break Lana all over again.

All of tall Ben’s vids: “I hope this thing runs this year”
All of short Ben’s vids: “I spent $12, 000 for 4lbs weight reduction”

[JohnnyWooh]

For a second i was worried we weren't gonna get any aussie accent this time

[WillemVerb]

full engine removal, rebuild, reinstall, track day and breaking it again all in one video is pretty awesome

[am]

Nothing gets a car back together faster than a track day deadline.

[ogonbio]

Who edited this, specifically the audio, I really appreciate the bits of reverb and whatnot added to Ben & mark’s vocal track

[ElCrab]

I appreciate that Ben repeatedly takes on the risk of being sued by PWR for our amusement. Because I live for that accent.

[zzyzx]

Gonna miss Ben's Ausie accent when he talks about the P-Dublya-Arrrr product

[TorqueTestChannel]

3:05 please let me send you a proper size impact wrench and sockets

[thezoexperience]

Babe wake up. The new gears and gasoline video is live.

[dadlife]

To G&G team: thanks for making videos consistently released Saturday mornings. It's become part of my weekend routine and something I really look forward to. Thanks!

[mattfoster]

It makes me so upset seeing a job that takes me 8 hours, take them 2 mins.

[asylumville]

Gears and Gasoline has ascended to the level of 'Saturday Morning Cartoons' for me.

[uhhhwhatdoipick]

that work sequence combined with the music at 16:00 is *chefs kiss*
glad your evo is back in working order!

[WalkiTalki]

I had a similar problem, after hard shifting at redline I pulled into my garage with a knock. I opened the engine to find the same bearing situation you had. I rebuilt and while installing the clutch realized that the center section was more "floater" than I remembered. I installed it anyway and the "rod knock" got worse! New clutch set and no more knock. This was a very expensive lesson.

Love seeing people learn from their mistakes I.e. Ben wearing a belt

[troybarker]

This is the most Focused and absolutely locked in, i have ever seen this Ben on a video. You guys crushed taking the engine out. Cool to finally see Ben in the Zone.

[WTFNoNamesLeft]

I feel like a "Custom" stub shaft tool is mandatory for long term EVO ownership. I made a long "L" shaped "tool" that sticks out past the fender a few feet so I can use a larger sledge to tap it out.

[olivermacey]

Ben, I have to say I commend your constant positivity, you seem like such a genuinely nice guy, I hope all goes well with a new Turbo and can’t wait to see Lana screaming again ! :)

[RichJ_youtube]

As a modified Evo owner, it just hurts seeing all of that carnage on those high end, expensive parts.

[justhefritz]

Just want to say that watching your videos on a Saturday morning has been my routine for some years now. I love the quality on the editing and filming in every video, and how real it is.

Hope I can continue this routine for the years to come! Love you guys!
