Engine tear down guide

[enough_pan144]

I know someone working for Hyundai who's been doing 2.4L and 1.6T swaps lately. Thinking of putting together a photo guide next time I help him tear one down. Would anyone find that useful or have ideas on what to include?

Yes please!!!! Some step-by-step teardown pics would be super helpful. I don't think I saw a lot of resources for the 1.6T. If you can include torque specs and tool sizes, even better. I'd love to see close-ups of common failure points too. That stuff's gold for DIYers.

A photo guide would be awesome, especially if it covers common challenges and tips for fitting those engines, do definitely post it when you get the chance please!
Thanks

Are engine swaps like these just a way to squeeze more power, or are they actually encouraging people to bypass emissions rules and make a bigger environmental mess?

I think a photo guide would be absolutely amazing!
You'd be a legend here if you put that guide together!
The 2.4L swap especially sounds wild. I've seen a few people mention it but never a full breakdown.
I'd love to see what's involved with the mounts, wiring, and all the little details that would make or break the swap.
For ideas, maybe include shots of the different harnesses side-by-side, or any custom fab work needed.
Also interested to know what kind of performance gains we're talking about with the 2.4L?
