Ray and I have combined our efforts in helping out the Tosi family with their van.
Their 2011 Chrysler Town & Country overheated catastrophically leaving them with just one vehicle. After some careful consideration with Ray, we decided the best thing to do would be fixing a good core engine I had on the shelf and installing it into their van at no cost. Since I've got the engine apart, we're taking care of all of the known problems with these engines which will be detailed in these videos.
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business and part of our model includes dismantling blown up or bad engines and selling the parts that are still good. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do. This is a special case where I can use parts from a previous teardown and an engine without major issues to build one good engine. Not something I do often!
I really hope you enjoyed this video and if you'd like to see the progress on this engine please subscribe to this channel and Rainmanrays channel as the entire process will be shared across both channels.
As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!

Some engineer was on a crazy acid trip when coming up with that torque sequence
-
sorry I had to play the video backwards.
-
The revenge of the water pump will be epic as it crawls out of the box to be placed back in this engine.
-
We’re having a blast watching all these updates as a family. Thank you Eric!
-
It's nice to see that there's some good still left in this world. No criticisms here only positive accolades and well wishes to you and Ray for stepping up and helping this family out.
-
My son and I watch your teardown video each week together. It's our thing. He decided to surprise me with a piston and rod from one of those videos as a surprise Father's Day gift. I am delighted. Congrats to you for finding a way to sell these parts, make money, and make people happy, all at the same time!
-
Just remember Eric, when you get to the water pump, it goes on the engine, not in the recycle bin! :D
-
Old school engine assembly with the angle meter.. You sir has earned my ultimate respect, on top of the huge respect for you and Ray to do this for the Tosi family. Anyone watching this video, hit that thumbs up. Let the front page of Youtube influencers see what really matters!
-
Hats off to I DO CARS and RAINMAN RAYS for helping out the family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice work guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Nice of you to help a family in need out. Thanks for being a stand up guy and giving back.
-
The world needs more folk like you and Ray. Awesome thing you guys are doing.
-
I remember. Since watching the previous video, our prayers have been with the Tosi family. One of our own young daughters is battling Leukemia and every day is a struggle and a blessing (she is the 3rd of our 5 daughters and her name is Kyla).. Treatment cost is staggering and many blessings to you and Ray for the giving of your talents. The bible says that your gift will make room for you and it certainly has right here. God bless you and Ray!
-
Eric - thanks for doing this, for the Tosi family and for Ray. Also PLEASE thank your wife and family for allowing you the time to do this! Your kindness and generosity is duly noted. I Do Cars fans love the weekly "malice in the combustion palace" and "piston nuggets", but it's great to see you do something constructive for a change ;)
-
What you and Ray are doing for this family is a absolutely wonderful thing. Helping a family that needs a vehicle and not asking for anything in return you guy's are this family's angels
-
I love what you're doing for that family.
-
Not only did you help Ray and the TOSi family but schooled your viewers on putting the 3.6 pentastar together. One thing is why aren’t we putting the dorman aluminum oil cooler on it? Also I’m glad you checked them oil gully bolt under the phasers on the heads .they need thread locker on them they tend to vibrate loose .Thanks for your time God Bless You and Ray for such a good deed
-
You and Ray are the best. This is the best thing you and Ray could do for them. Some of the best "real" channels on YouTube.
-
That's why shops that build engines have a permanent station with an engine holder mounted to it! Chasing a stand around is tiring! LOL
-
The magnetic issue on the Cams I believe is more for if they are exposed to strong electromagnets that can add or neutralize magnetism but however my hats off to you for being super careful !
-
Eric it is nice to see people like you out there who will help people in these days and times that are struggling just to get by. Ray also thank you for your part in what you have done to help this family and get their van back in running conditions. I wish that there were more people like you two out there that would ((help thy neighbor)) without asking for anything in return. May the Lord Bless You two and be gracious unto you two. Amen.
