This video is ultra-unique for us in that we filmed and edited the Lime Rock portion…. 5 hours ago. We’re STILL AT Lime Rock, and one of us is still racing. Ben L pulled an all nighter editing footage we shot earlier this week and today into the video you’re watching now, so if it sucks… that’s why we don’t do day-of edits. Polish takes time and we didn’t have it this week, but we didn’t want to miss a video. Hope you enjoy!
This channel is fun. I love it when you guys get small and big wins, and I hurt when you have your misfortunes, but you guys take it on the chin and keep rolling. This is passion. Keep it up, boys. I'm rooting for you!
Definite raincheck on letting Thorn be your mechanic, Mark. Good call. Dude blows a coolant line, keeps driving the car, and is surprised when the temps keep on rising past 270F.
Reminder that if you’re rebuilding a 4g63 after lifting the head, always check your main bearing clearances with plastigauge… If there’s even a mm of movement on the crank, you’ll crankwalk and blow your motor. You didn’t show Mark checking clearances last week so I was worried…
And eliminating the clutch switch so you can start the car without it pressed in will help with dry starts against the thrust bearing. That will prolong the life significantly.
Sucks to see all that time and effort put into the radiator ducting not turn out to help. It was encouraging to not see you too discouraged by it though. Way to stay positive.
Just a note since a lot of people are asking: if your car is overheating like this, turning it off is a great way to warp the head and damage the engine. Ben kept driving to try and get air flow across the rad and keep water circulating through the engine. He didn't know the hose had popped off and released ALL the coolant.
That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If your car overheats get it shut off as soon as possible unless you're on the freeway pulling a hill and know that hill is about to end and you can coast. Like experience that its fine. He shouldn't have been driving it after the overheating started the first time. Better yet do your 2 laps get a time and stop. Don't come in then go back out knowing it's overheating.
Might be obvious but when you sealed the engine bay, could you have potentially over-restricted OEM engine bay outlets underneath or beside the engine for heat to escape? Maybe the air within the engine bay needs to feed behind the front tires at the back of the fenders to see cooling performance improve instead of just exiting underneath the car or through the hood
Mark has been a fantastic addition to the channel, he’s pure gold! Also, the rpf1’s have been my all time favorite wheel, had them on my mk5 ko4 gti, vr6 corrado, and my 92 h22a si prelude, they will be going on my va Sti soon!
I think it'd be super interesting and beneficial to do some underhood aero testing. Like, either do it moving or stationary with perhaps dyno fans, but use fog machines of some sort and maybe gopros and lighting in the engine bay (which I'm sure yall have) and see where the fog sits. You could try using yarn tufts (or similar) taped to everything to show the movement of air as well, could show things better/worse or differently than the fog, or might help solidify results. Running the car with standalone temperature sensors of some sort in different places would tell you a lot, I think. It'd be great to see the high and low pressure areas in the engine bay, and you could use cardboard to attempt to figure out the best balance of removing lift and keeping the car as cool as possible. That'd have to make a great video, be super informative, and help you at the grid. Edit was great, regardless of the time crunch or not! Good luck Mark!
is it bad that an episode that was stitched together at the last possible second is one of my favorite episodes ever? Mark's good vibes at the race track and the enigmatic and still unknown diagnosis of the Talon along with the hilarious sketch of having lil Ben offer unsolicited advice to Mark was a winner in my book
Bummer about the car issues friends. Thanks for pushing out some content for us even if it's not the type of content you really want to be posting. Gotta share the highs and the lows so the highs mean that much more. Keep your chins up I'm rooting for yall.
Marks Evo looks so clean and sexy. Glad he gets some time on the track. If I was Mark, my inner Patrick voice would be saying “careful SpongeBob, careful SpongeBob…” the whole time installing the new injectors.
I was there yesterday, saw the Civic all laid up and was so disappointed. Was a great even though! Love seeing some love for the local track! GridLife x LRP needs to keep happening!
Just recognized Marks license plate and realized I was cruising with him for a couple miles on 29 past Warrenton 🤯 The Evo genuinely sounds like a fighter jet
I used to live in New Milford, CT not far away from Lime Rock, been there a bunch of times, then moved to Ansonia, CT, and now I live outside of San Antonio, TX. FREAKIN HOT HERE!!
Im surprised you didnt just kill it in the pits or off the track when it was overheating, Ben! Great video as always, love seeing Mark in the fray as well!
*Update* the civic was retuned and made 282/191 and the powerband is amazing! Super consistant and linear all the way til 8600. Can't wait to drive it at Thompson speed way!
I did the exact same thing to an injector on my car recently, putting a new engine in and trying to get it back on the road after 7 months. I feel your pain Mark
Go marky poo! You guys are turning into my most favored channel to watch QUICK. The content keeps getting better and better! Been here for a couple years, and plan to stay here!
Oh no, hope you guys get back up and running! It was really cool meeting you guys yesterday. Mark got his hands FULL..! Hopefully our builds can compete next year or at the very least park in for show😅

nuh uh
Video was awesome, maxbe you should rush thins more often 😄
Thanks for the content. Best of luck with everything!
Best car channel on CZcams, love you guys!!!!!!!
This channel is fun. I love it when you guys get small and big wins, and I hurt when you have your misfortunes, but you guys take it on the chin and keep rolling. This is passion. Keep it up, boys. I'm rooting for you!
The horror on Mark's face when Ben T tells him he's G&G's only hope is priceless. 🤣
Beyond horror when Ben says he will be his mechanic 🤣
@@nickwong2525your not wrong 😂😂
"I stand corrected" was the best part for me
Came here to make this comment! Love it!
yeah those wheels are sick
The chapter names are perfect this week, thank you for putting the all-nighter Tall Ben! :)
I discovered the chapter names a few videos ago, 10/10
🎉😮
That person needs a raise in my opinion
@@99bigmon it was definitely tall ben this week, their pinned comment says he stayed up all night yesterday to edit the video
The chapter titles are the unsung heros of G+G
This channel is now a tutorial based channel on how to blow up your engine in different ways. Bold move cotton. Thanks tall Ben for the quick edit!
Definite raincheck on letting Thorn be your mechanic, Mark. Good call. Dude blows a coolant line, keeps driving the car, and is surprised when the temps keep on rising past 270F.
some of the stupid shit he does makes no sense to me man lol
@@NORLateCrew its expensive to get the tow truck to remove the car
@@thunderlighting2006less expensive than a rebuild
@@guerrinlove69 you do realize that Ben will probably get a new engine for free and make money by making a series on CZcams right?
@@thunderlighting2006 oh yeah totally
Mark, we've ALL been there. Anyone that has wrenched for more than a minute has damaged something.
True
Just changed the mounts on my car. Can confirm
even more fun when working on German car. if you even look at a plastic part wrong way it will crumble in million pieces
@@mind.hacker9996 lmao oh I know, I work at a German car dealership 💀😂
This is like me waiting for Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, but adult version! Awesome
this is what i said as i was making my coffee on my way up to watch this

@@sonnyrodriguez9850 yep he did it just not in the edit

Geez the look on Mark's face at the track compared to in the garage. Give this man some more track time!
It wouldn't be G&G if engines weren't exploding and Ben wasn't up til 5AM editing, love it
The Bens can't catch a break, now it's down to Mark to hold it down at GridLife
I honestly couldn’t tell this was an all-nighter edit. That part with the Evo X’s new wheels goes harder than a boss intro from a Need for Speed game!
Gears, Grime and Gasoline 😂. Mark being the grime doing all the dirty work cleaning up mess of the other two.
little ben’s ability to stay cheery after terrible news is something we should really respect
"...we don't want that, I'm not that fast." lmao spoken like a humble man
Just a note since a lot of people are asking: if your car is overheating like this, turning it off is a great way to warp the head and damage the engine. Ben kept driving to try and get air flow across the rad and keep water circulating through the engine. He didn't know the hose had popped off and released ALL the coolant.
Also keeping it running without not knowing what the problem is, is a great way to cause even more damage!
And making huge changes to your cooling system without testing is another great way to damage your engine
That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If your car overheats get it shut off as soon as possible unless you're on the freeway pulling a hill and know that hill is about to end and you can coast. Like experience that its fine. He shouldn't have been driving it after the overheating started the first time. Better yet do your 2 laps get a time and stop. Don't come in then go back out knowing it's overheating.
If you visibly see coolant spray across your window. Solid bet you’ve lost some if not all your coolant. Turn it off as soon as safely possible
Might be obvious but when you sealed the engine bay, could you have potentially over-restricted OEM engine bay outlets underneath or beside the engine for heat to escape? Maybe the air within the engine bay needs to feed behind the front tires at the back of the fenders to see cooling performance improve instead of just exiting underneath the car or through the hood
Seeing Mark on track was unexpected and awesome to see. Please do more Mark content.
Your gridlife episodes are amongst the best automotive CZcams
This might be a favorite upload in a few months. Can't wait to see more of the talon functioning correctly and Mark racing.
Mark has been a fantastic addition to the channel, he’s pure gold! Also, the rpf1’s have been my all time favorite wheel, had them on my mk5 ko4 gti, vr6 corrado, and my 92 h22a si prelude, they will be going on my va Sti soon!
RPF1s just suit cars with small factory OEM wheels so well. 👌
I personally like this content. It really shows the chaos going on in your life and all the drama that happens in racing.
I think it'd be super interesting and beneficial to do some underhood aero testing. Like, either do it moving or stationary with perhaps dyno fans, but use fog machines of some sort and maybe gopros and lighting in the engine bay (which I'm sure yall have) and see where the fog sits.

One of the few channels that make me really laugh. Keep it up fellas.
Mr. Ben Lin you rock
Ben I will learn editing just for you if it means I can stop seeing your instagram story say “5:35am” and you be editing. Get you on a better schedule
Loved every second vid! You nailed it!
It was awesome seeing Mark out there ripping!!!
Rpf1s look good on just about anything 👌
this is a fact
I love seeing mark driving too!
Transition at 4:35 deserves at least three replays
Bummer about the car issues friends. Thanks for pushing out some content for us even if it's not the type of content you really want to be posting. Gotta share the highs and the lows so the highs mean that much more. Keep your chins up I'm rooting for yall.
Thanks Tall Ben for editing this at 3AM!
Mark punching air once again when Ben announces to him he is the only hope. 😂😂😂😂
8:02 = me every day with my Eclipse
“Why tf didn’t that work.”
Loved the change up and feeling of this video. Hope to see more like this!
Y'all need 2m subs. Fuck the production quality is amazing
Thanks for all the free content 😊
Mark has genuinely been one of the best additions to the crew
It was great seeing everyone at lime rock, need more mark gridlife content street class evo X would be fun to watch!
Blown motors and gasoline baby!
And todays episode on the Mitsubishi factory …. thanks lads 👌🏻
Marks Evo looks so clean and sexy. Glad he gets some time on the track.
If I was Mark, my inner Patrick voice would be saying “careful SpongeBob, careful SpongeBob…” the whole time installing the new injectors.
Awesome video as always Ben T, Mark and Ben.
This is the best editing ever. It's a cinematic masterpiece.
I was there yesterday, saw the Civic all laid up and was so disappointed. Was a great even though! Love seeing some love for the local track! GridLife x LRP needs to keep happening!
style / music / edit on this one was sick, frantic and exciting. NGL looking at Xs now after seeing Mark's X on RPF1s looking 🔥
AHAHAH these chapter notes kill me everytime. I love them so much
You've got nothing to worry about. Blowing an engine is CZcams gold! Can't wait for the teardown/rebuild video!
Just recognized Marks license plate and realized I was cruising with him for a couple miles on 29 past Warrenton 🤯 The Evo genuinely sounds like a fighter jet
I used to live in New Milford, CT not far away from Lime Rock, been there a bunch of times, then moved to Ansonia, CT, and now I live outside of San Antonio, TX. FREAKIN HOT HERE!!
This video was awesome how it jumped around to different cars and topics. Do more like this!
Mark has really been a fantastic addition to the channel.
Can we just appreciate the level of cinematography and editing in this video? It's amazing!
awesome seeing mark going from fixing all the cars to him competing and his beautiful evo x go out and have fun!
The chapter titles are spot on. classic.
You guys gonna be on the top list of blowing motors 😂
Hell yeah now mark joining in on grid life I’m anxious to watch it .!!!
Our hope on Mark, go Mark!!!🎉🎉
Hell yeah, love seeing mark on the track. Would love to see more evo x content from mark in the future
This video may have been rushed, but it's top-notch G&G content! Can't wait for next Saturday's video.
RPF1 SBC looks amazing on silver cars and works well surprisingly. Have the same on my 03 Celica. Car looks great!
So many emotions in one video
You guys really do make my week! Team G&G !!!

Man i love Saturdays 🙌🙌!!!!
The content you all put out is great! Makes me look forward to the weekend.
"look at the over flow" - *camera pans to gatorade bottle* 9:42
The video editing and camera angles made me realize you played a lot of Gran Turismo! Awesome job!
This video was amazing, Ben you did a great job editing, I think I speak for everyone when I say we all love the chapter names
Imagine waiting for Gridlife Lime Rock coverage, but G&G releases their Day 1 Limerock video while still there! Good luck Mark, you deserve it!
every saturday I come here to watch G&G videos, and for the last 4 years it didn't let me down once
Evo content makes me so fucking happy
quickly becoming some of my fave yt car guys.. keep up the work
Im surprised you didnt just kill it in the pits or off the track when it was overheating, Ben! Great video as always, love seeing Mark in the fray as well!
It was a pleasure meeting y'all and giving me some advice on the civic build!!! EG sedan is waiting to get tuned right now 😁
*Update* the civic was retuned and made 282/191 and the powerband is amazing! Super consistant and linear all the way til 8600. Can't wait to drive it at Thompson speed way!
I did the exact same thing to an injector on my car recently, putting a new engine in and trying to get it back on the road after 7 months. I feel your pain Mark
know it’s not your usual style, but honestly this was a really fun watch, enough i watched it twice.
Help us Obi Wrench Kenobi, you're our only hope!
I'm gonna be honest, I love the Bens and always will but any episode with Mark doing shit gets an immediate thumbs up from me.
Hands down one of my favorite episodes. Time to tune in next week.
Go marky poo! You guys are turning into my most favored channel to watch QUICK. The content keeps getting better and better! Been here for a couple years, and plan to stay here!
Gotta say, the editing and music choice is absolutely tasteful
Oh no, hope you guys get back up and running!
It was really cool meeting you guys yesterday. Mark got his hands FULL..!
Hopefully our builds can compete next year or at the very least park in for show😅
I was so surpsied to See Mark on that track while watching live yesterday! Fantastic stuff!
Love the dsm content,keep em coming been waiting so long
Man that 10:14 music intro … goose bumps! Good job! And love me some Saturday CAR-toons
Love the chapter titles :)
Mark is so awesome dude.
Too much fun & exiting 😂🎉
Loving the chemistry of Mark and the Ben’s!
God you guys are one of the best YT channels in the space. Sucks to see the civic down.
Enjoyed this video all the same great work ❤
ending was hilarious 😂
Still as cinematic and dramatic as usual. Great job!
The joys of racing
The music on this one. 🔥
definitely a 10/10 for those chapter titles, as a woman i can confirm they made me chuckle
