  1. With all the Shit on the back , the Two-Post lift might not have lifted it .

  2. Who in Gods name thought using a Cork Gasket was a good idea ? Honestly I can't remember the last time I saw one , even on a Tappet Cover .

  3. If it was THAT diluted I think the Engine would seize .

  4.  @mikea9014  . No . Weld Weld on the Bolt hole and re-tapping . " Glue " won't cut it .

  5. There was a 12mm involved too . And a Screwdriver . Yes ?

  6. My thought as well . " Burping " a Radiator/Cooling system is IMPORTANT .
    8
  7. Well this is a little mysterious so far . Car went in for a Cooling related problem and got a Radiator . Immediate Overheat again . Now Ray has it . I suspect the previous shop was too quick to sign off on the Job . They too , should have noticed the Purging problem . Some Engines can be difficult to " Burp " and there are sometimes bleeder valves fitted to assist that . I suspect a Warped Head .

  8. Pretty sure the Kit was designed for Under Hood installation really .

  9. Hahahaha . Absolutely CORRECT .

  13. Great to watch you going through that process Ray . Vacuum Leaks are a total Bitch . As fidgety as Electrical Gremlins quite often .

  14. Well Spotted . I missed that . Yes that Winch Hook is not quite Safe like that .

  15. Should use an Engraving Pen . Paint can be washed off.............

  16.  @davidpayne2880  Ray has a Video to show him................ Bet the Owner says " That's Fucked " . Exchange it .

  17. That rear wheel was VERY loose . Surprised the Bearings weren't flogged out . Maybe it will be back . 400,000 is fantastic mileage .

  18. Not criticising here , but I would have used a Tarred Rope plug there , without reaming , trimmed flush , and then back it up with the Patch .

  19. You mean Studs ?

  20. That compressor was screaming because it was , basically , Cavitating . Trying to suck a Vacuum . Not built for that . Yeah , you are right that " Some " shops would have quoted for a Compressor .

  21. The Note said that the Blinker Fluid level was fine .

  22. I do remember part1 concerning this Latte' Machine . I still believe that Tranny is Fucked , however best of Luck Ray . And Customer . I feel sorry for the Customer . I think he was probably doing his Servicing properly . Simple STRUCTURAL failure in the Radiator and you're all done .
    2
  23. Huh ? Mo Betta ?
    2
  24.  @davidmiller9485  . Actually it IS a structural piece . The Starter gear , when engaged with the Flexplate , produces a Lateral force because of the shape of the Gear teeth profile . Starter needs BOTH mounting points to resist torque reaction and that lateral force .

  25. I think that would have been covered by the time he got the Car back to the Shop . Don't you ?

  26. Same here .

  27. Never " Tell " until all is Good . You can call the Wrath of God if you do , and those Plans are no more after that .

  28. All that Tips and Strokes talk started making me wonder if a was on the right Channel........................😂 That Frame Flex is rather dramatic . Congrats on having your own shop now . About Time .

  29. Well that IS the way Life works , in general . Yes ?

  30. What a Nightmare . It is my Opinion that That Engine is ( technical term here ) Completely Fucked . A Boat Anchor . Kaput . Irredeemable . Etc .

  31. If the Customer is LUCKY that is a Head-gasket and hopefully the Damage inside isn't too bad . If it's a Wet-liner Engine could be a liner bottom seal . Bigger Job . Does NOT look good though . Cracked Head or Block , you may as well simply Replace the Engine .

  32. Are you KIDDING ? A Copywrite Claim for what was on the Radio ? How Pompous and self important can someone get . Fucking Hilarious . I think you were drilling too High an RPM on the biggest drill bit initially . Glazed the cutting edge tips . That said , What a CHORE indeed . Everything is Seized in . Problem from Factory ? No assembly grease ? Tiny dab of Never-seize goes a long way .

  33.  @Nick-ue7iw  . Neoprene .

  34. Because it had overheated , and went for a New Radiator , I was suspecting a Warped Head more than the Head Gasket . Good result .👍.

  35. Always Burp the Baby , after a Nappy change .

  36. Finding the Socket is Undoubtedly the hard part .

  37. I like your thoroughness and Integrity . " So he said Such and Such did he ? " . Let's check..................

  38. I know that it is a Precaution . Is it REALLY necessary to remove all The Rockers ? Surely there are Timing marks on everything , and a Procedure for installation . From the Comments , Oil supply to the Top of these Engines is an issue . The Overall design seems OK .

  39. What a Difference a Dave makes ............. 🤣🤣🤣. Excellent Gift Ray . Two points of order on your Towing . GREASE THAT TOW-BALL , NOW . And Connect the Chains Hook Downward .

  40. Jesus Christ ! Wow . Who put those on ? A Heavy Truck wheel service-centre ? Wheel Nuts get hot and can be Difficult sometimes , sure . But , just Wow .

  41. Part Two is an Engine Replacement . That one there Is TOAST . Rebuildable , sure , But a CRATE ENGINE will be Cheaper .

  42. Voiceover was perfectly good solution to Audio loss on the Video Feed .

  43. Excellent Diagnosing . No Assumptions made . Those Bloody PLUGS . Attention to detail is essential . Must go Click . Customer should hand Your Invoice for Diag/Repair to whoever replaced the Crank Sensor . A " Be Thorough next time " message .

  44. Stop Playing with the Helium , Ray . 17' 30" mark . East West Engines ARE fiddly , inaccessible bastards .

  45. I just think the Client wanted a Second Opinion .

  46. Just one of those things . You dealt with it the Right way . Better to keep good faith and get return Custom . I hope you advised them to , perhaps , expect other coil failures .

  47.  @Blitterbug  . Just made a small Edit to my Comment . I HATE LIARS WORSE . Thieves are a nuisance . Liars are destructive . Understand now ?

  48.  @billkallas1762  . Huh ? What ? Make some sense will you . Obviously you're trying to say Something . But FAILING miserably .
    1
  49.  @billkallas1762  . That noise was Cavitation . You know what that is ?
    1
  50.  @billkallas1762  . No . Cavitation can be Very damaging . It depends how Severe and prolonged as to what damage MIGHT get done . There is no Guarantee of instant damage .
