    Hi john i have often poured petrol in the combustion chambers in the head to see if the valves are sealing properly, if they are not sealing the fuel would come out of the inlet or exhaust manifold but you probably know this type of diagnosis, i do the same with the bores in the block only with light engine oil, good luck with it.

    • @retiredtruckersgarage.7606
      @retiredtruckersgarage.7606 11 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the comment, I have already done that and the valves let no petrol through,i have checked the head for cracks and with a steel rule and its good to go back in but I have found another problem which I will be talking about in the next episode.

    The battery tray looks good John and we'll done with the struts. I've always been nervous around spring compressors but fortunately I don't have that problem with my coilovers! These cameras are tricky things! I have the same problem but keep up the good work! 👍

    Its looking good John, when i polybushed the cortina I found they could be a bugger to fit but I'm glad that's the way I went with it.

    • @retiredtruckersgarage.7606
      @retiredtruckersgarage.7606 2 года назад

      thanks mate,i would have liked to keep it original but the ford rack bushes were three times the price of polys and the polys are much better,you do get the feeling when fitting them that the brackets will snap though.

    Hi John, The struts are looking good, I haven't tried painting over hammerite but I'll bear that in mind. I used rustoleum on my struts which is supposed to be hard wearing but it took forever to dry/cure! Take care Jim

    • @retiredtruckersgarage.7606
      @retiredtruckersgarage.7606 2 года назад

      surprised me mate as everyone said its a no no but i like to try it for myself,the blue actually is a high temp paint which is hard wearing aswell,so far theres no reaction,the derusting would have been a bind without my home made blaster and my grandson thinks its great and takes it over but he is good at it,and all being well he will be hosting the next video(if he doesnt bottle it that is)im looking forward to your video on the 3d printer mate hope its not too long.

  • @jimbuilds

    Hi John, Thats some tidy masking! I'm interested to see how you blow in small repairs as I need to do this on the cortina. Thanks Jim

    • @retiredtruckersgarage.7606
      @retiredtruckersgarage.7606 3 года назад

      i started work as an apprentice diesel fitter in 1972 and we learnt every aspect of lorry repairs inc paint and its just a matter of leaving an area unmasked where it would leave an obvious transition marking so leaving it unmasked would allow the new paint to slowly blend in with the old paint,i will get back to doing the blow through later this year but mate im pretty sure you are more than up to it.

    Hi John, That tensioner is tighter than I expected! You're homebrew tools look great 👍 I like the mondeo, it's a shame they're going out of production. If I needed a bigger car I'd be looking at one, is it similar to rosso red? Take care Jim

      Hi John I have a soft spot for the mk3 laser, yours is the same colour and year as on my friend had when we were 18! I a was always amazed about how smooth the second hand is on the Ford clocks! The garage looks like you have plenty of room to work in and once it's insulted it'll be even better! I'd be interested in seeing the sand blast cabinet you have too. I didn't realise we had the same vice! Mine was my grandfathers who i believe had it when he worked at the local colliery and as you said they're great at pressing bearings. I'm looking forward to seeing the garage evolve and getting to meet Red 👍
