    If you are going to scrap or dispose of the engine and/or car now. How about just running the engine and see what happens ? Diesel engines are quite tough , it may survive the clip being in there. The clip might get smashed up into smaller pieces that may exit through the valves, or the bits of clip may melt in the heat of combustion and stick to the piston crown or possibly the head. Is there anything to lose by trying it 🤔?

    Well, it was worth trying. Did you feel any airflow from the intake manifold when you sprayed air into the injector hole? By feeling the airflow, you might find the spot where the intake valve is most open. Perhaps the airflow could be optimized somehow, for example by spraying air with a long enough tube to reach the piston surface, so that the flow hits the part from the side rather than from above. Of course, inserting a thin tube through the intake manifold into the combustion chamber and applying sufficient vacuum could also be a way to remove the part from the combustion chamber. The vacuum could grip onto the part. You could test the appropriate tube thickness and vacuum strength on another part before inserting the tube into the engine. Additionally, the tube could be guided with the help of a camera to improve precision.

      Okay, there is something I did earlier, not filmed, which is illegal here and that is blanking off the EGR valve. I had no choice. there was so much old gas coming from the EGR pipe that the engine would not rev up. it would start and idle but there was no power. Too much old gas from the EGR. After buying a blanking plate from ebay and fitting it, the engine was great again . . . until now.

    Oh no! We’ve all done something similar at sometime. I once dropped a washer from the accelerator linkage on the carb into a small gap under the inlet manifold on the Charger.

    Well, that was an unfortunate development. Commiserations! If it was me, I’d pull the head, remove the pin and put it back together again - giving it a good cleaning in the process. The ratty looking cam lobes will most likely run well for years and I’d start using a full synthetic oil once it’s back to running. It’s a lot of work to do and you’ll still just have an old car at the end. I’m back in the US right now and have been keeping my 2000 Honda Odyssey minivan (205,000 miles) and my wife’s 2004 Ford Focus (85,000 miles) up to date with routine maintenance - and they’re both running great, with just very minor issues. I plan on keeping both until it makes no sense to keep them. That’ll be decided by the arithmetic at the time. This work and the video on Old Stinky was very timely. Just like last year, I’ll be back in Oxford in April and my first ‘car’ work will be on my ‘06 1.4 tdci Fusion. Last summer it got towed back to Oxford by AA from Torquay where it had a big diesel leak which neither I nor they could get repaired in that locality on a reasonable schedule. So, I’ll be digging into the top of the engine to replace the leak-off pipes, clean the head, redo and clean the injectors. I’ll be getting the injector refreshing kit with new copper washers to which I’ll be adding my own copper sheet washers so as to ensure I get maximum down-force on the injector clamps. I reckon that’s worth a try so as to avoid (or postpone) gas leakage past the copper washers …. which is a chronic issue with these engines. I expect I’ll run into ‘surprises’ …. but I absolutely WILL plug the holes as soon as the top is off. So, fwiw, if you like the car otherwise, get the head off and get the pin out. Shame to chuck out an otherwise decent car over such a small issue. I mean, all your cars will likely need a clutch at some point - just like tyres or brakes - it’s a routine repair. And cheaper than getting another car … which might be a pig in a poke. Anyway, good luck with it and, as always, I’ve enjoyed your videos of your projects, especially those for Old Stinky. Cheers, Peter J/

      @Fusion20077 14 дней назад

      I just had a look at a video on YT showing the steps involved in pulling the head to open the engine on the 1.4 tdci. There’s a lot to it - and maybe too much. The only time I’d personally taken a head off was back in the 60’s on my dad’s 1950’s Ford Popular with the 4 cylinder side valve engine … and that was dead easy (even for me as a teenager). The Fusion involves a whole lot more - but I reckon, being careful, it’s definitely doable. In the meantime how about trying a different magnet on a flexible/bendy rod to try again fishing out the pin? For example, they make flexible plastic sheet material (like gets stuck on a refrigerator). A strip of that could be cut and fed into the valve opening and maybe capture the wayward pin. Even if that couldn’t lift it out of the cylinder it might pull it closer to the valve opening to where your other magnet might snag it … so long as it doesn’t hook in to the valve stem. Worth a try!

    • @sleepycatpictures1176
      @sleepycatpictures1176 14 дней назад

      I tried that, but the injector hole is too small to get anything through and the clip is too big to pass through it anyway. The only way out is passed the valve. However, somebody suggested compressed air blasted into the injector hole and hope that the clip is caught up in the vacuum draught.

  • @peterspiers2428
    @peterspiers2428 15 дней назад

  • @anterometso276
    @anterometso276 15 дней назад

    I followed your video when I replaced the seals last time. Dropping something into those holes is my worst nightmare. How about using some pressurized air in the injector hole? The vacuum cleaner would work better if there were more replacement air. Or perhaps applying a tiny bit of thick grease to the magnet you're using-just enough to help, but not so much that it causes the clip to stick to the piston head-and then trying to get the clip to adhere? You could use a camera to help and lift the clip through the injector hole, hoping this would make it easier to vacuum. Then, using the exhaust valve hole, vacuum the clip.

    • @sleepycatpictures1176
      @sleepycatpictures1176 15 дней назад

    I've got the same problem with my 2006 Fusion 1.6. It runs fine, but get in slow Leicester traffic and it bubbles and boils. I recently swapped out the thermostat and housing, and smugly thought I'd sorted it. Got stuck in Friday afternoon traffic and she suddenly errupted in steam. Coolant was spraying out from under the yellow cap on the expansion bottle. Reading a thread on Talk Ford, someone suggests it's a hairline crack and replacing the expansion bottle has cured it, as the crack stops the system pressurising as it should.

      The fan will run at low speed if the air-con is on. Otherwise somewhere there will be a faulty relay or a bad joint. If the engine is hot when turned off, the fan may run on for longer to aid cooling. Or could be a faulty temperature sender unit.

    I'm the same. Scrambling around on the floor at 65 is hard work 😅 job well done, and as you said, nothing too difficult, but many garages don't like working on the D2 in particular no problem though I keep taking the ibuprofen and carry on fella 😀

      Good man! There are specialist places that would probably have done it, but they are not in walking distance. I think what they are frightened of is 25 year old bolts not coming out and having to deal with it, thus putting the price up. I think I got lucky. It took me nine days, not continuously but in bits. Pretty rubbish really!

      @sleepycatpictures1176 don't knock yourself. You took it on and did it that's all that matters.. I've just finished bleeding the clutch on my manual pre facelift. Back and forth over 3 days, what a pita that was. Two local garages wouldn't touch it 😂

    Hi Derek, was there any bushes in the spares I gave you? Trying to remember which ones they where. That's the problem with disc 2 it like a big shelter underneath. Many time's I've have had to check and remove vagrants, before moving off. Thanks for the sound track of the TD5 burbling away. Miss it.

      Hi Martin! Can't remember to be honest. I bought my bushes last year meaning to do this job. Dripping oil keeps 'em out!

    Well, of course the oil leak from the gearbox isn't "excessive". The gearbox only holds about 3l of oil so if it WAS excessive, it'd have stopped by now. O_o Don't forget to paint the radius arm yellow while you've got them off. Off-road stuff works better when it's yellow.

    Hi Derek, did my C spanner on the D2. Most bushes came out with 1 ton of force but one took 4 ton. Easy job with borrowed press. Just do one side at a time. You might need a ratchet strap to keep things in place and to line up the holes when putting back in. Advice, use new bolts and nuts. Like to see a Landrover without oil leak on MOT.

      I've just done mine on the defender with a reciprocating saw and a decent sized vice, but to be fair I was putting polybushes back in. Found the car didn't move too much doing one arm at a time, the front C spanner just needed the jack to get the bolts started
