  1. Dear Mr. Wes. 👍👌👏 700 bucks for a totally rust free 2012 Captiva with good interior? That was a fantastic deal for sure! Congrats! Very well done! 2) I would bet that if the engine is maintained correctly, the typical oil consumption will be no problem. VW once had 1.4 l engines in a lot of different cars that was known for using a bit more oil. No other issues indeed. 3) I would keep the old cylinder head or at least sell it. 4) Why in the world would anybody want to pull an engine out downwards??? Sometimes it's possible to pull an engine out and in upwards even with the gearbox still attached! And if you own a Mercedes not even the hood has to be removed because it can be adjusted vertically! This feature is with this brand at least since 1968 as far as I know (type W114/115 also called /8). Originally designed for better maintenance accessibility of course. 4a) The only cars I know to pull out an engine downwards are ones with rear engines and rear wheel drive. For instance oldtimer like VW bug or bus, Fiat 500, some NSU and the role model for the NSU TT = the Corvair. 5) Looking into that oil pan and that shattered crank case I guess a typical Andrew Camarata saying would have been: Phew, those bad made thin metal engines nowadays. They simply cannot withstand the slightest knocking from a broken piston rod. And look at the interior of that car. Can't even be repaired/fixed with an angle grinder! ;-) :-) Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health to you, your families, relatives and friends.

  2.  @WatchWesWork  Really? This is your complete replying to my comment? Okay then let's go into medias res: 2) ??? Why? I pulled out and helped to pull out even 6 cyl inline engines (2,8 l Nissan/Datsun and Mercedes). Also V4 and V6 (Ford) engines and absolutely all upwards! I never pulled out an engine downwards and I have never ever seen somebody doing that (at least not in Germany). By the way: Especially on floating boats and ships this pulling out an engine downwards procedure should be avoided strictly! ;-) :-)
