Properly interesting that one Adam . Just my opinion my friend but I'd say 400 450 tops mate is a lot you know for a rear wheel drive cozzie ya knas Adam , ya talking 175 + mph and getting that much power down will be tricky ya don't Wana write it off do ya lmao . 4-450 is enough to frighten yasel ma mate I know haha , and enough to see most fast cars off too.
I've always liked watching a man that knows what he's doing working with confidence in his knowledge in front of his customer and able to explain precisely what and why he's doing. Most guys don't like being watched by the customer but doing it in front of a camera is confidence, I think you'll be happy with the results of his work. 👍
Could watch guys like this for hours. Used to love going round a old boy’s workshop I knew who was just the same and would make anything from scratch after mugging over it with a cuppa tea first.
Used to take heads for skimming and blocks round to a very similar engineering workshop years ago. Not so many of them around nowadays. This really reminds me of the old ways things were done and it’s great to see a master of his craft at work.
Wealth of experience this is the kind of guy you want rebuilding your engine, true engineer was pleasure watching him never seen this side of a build before in such detail. Good stuff great content
Hi everybody, David Vizard here. I enjoyed this video which showed a lot of useful stuff for resurrecting a YB Cosworth. During 1989 I was a consultant engineer to Mountune Racing Engines and Kent Cams. Built several of these engines for production saloons which culminated in a 277 hp build that ran just under standard boost and utilized all standard parts and just ran away from the competition. It outpower the typical (and winning) Mountune motors which at 244 hp outpowered everyone else's. If any of you want to learn advanced engine building then you will definity want to check out 'PowerTec 10' on RUclips. You won't be disappointed as this channel reveal speed secrets that are sometimes not even know by the worlds top engine builders and designer. DV
The word ‘legend’ doesn’t do you justice David. I spent hundreds of hours reading your articles in ‘car @ car conversions’ . Also HT racing were very good with pintos, they were in ‘fast car’ magazine a lot in the early 90’s
What a fantastic engineer Gordon is. Men like him are a dying breed & should be enjoyed while there here. A true craftsman. Fantastic work brother. Looking forward to part two Adam 👍
Like his special short handled ball-pien with the anti-shock/anti-vibration handle @ 23:37 for removing cam drive pulleys!!! Also, looks like no half-moons on the back of that head for the cam's bore, so only really special special, if any, line boring for this one. Also, also, it's a really nice valve spring compressor, so probably has a good spring checker too, but didn't let on!
Well that 45 minutes went by in the blink of an eye! A thoroughly enjoyable watch 👍 It was that compelling that when I read other people's comments about calendars, I thought 'Calendars?, what calendars...?!' 🙄
its great to see this type of workmanship still in action so cracking job being done by Gordon fair play to him. Its been great to watch and can't wait to see the rebuild of the glorious Cosworth Engine.
Now that is a very knowledgeable engineer,I could watch him work there on the YB for hours.Excellent video Adam and I look forward to seeing more of Gordon doing his magic on your engine.
Damn, when this craftsman goes into retirement, all this knowledge, all this experience, will be lost, like tears in the rain (to quote Roy from "Blade Runner")
Superb. Ex manual machinist tech here to.. superb timing I was trying to say to a few younger techs they need to learn imperial I got the scolded look 😂 From them, it's no hard I had to learn it. Born in the year of decimalisation. To be honest machining in imperial size down to a thou or grinding to tenths of thou is much better than the metric equivalent.
I wish you the best bro im really enjoying your content especially lately keep up the good work proper old school RUclips i love it mate hope your channel continue to grow you deserve it
Fantastic video! I could watch this type of stuff all day. It's good to see a master of his craft explain the process without overly complicating things. His type are a dying breed nowadays, I hope he has somebody to pass his wisdom on to.
love these type of shops, our local guy died a couple of years back who i have used for 30 plus years . their experience cannot be replaced and to have one show you is a privilege. its mad the cost of engines most of it is time and if you want it done right it takes time which equals money . buy the right parts and your engine will be good , cut corners and you will pay for your bad judgement
Love to spend a few days at that shop just watching and learning a few bits.. !! Cant go far wrong with a YB cossie either.. Unless its come out of a rally car lol..
Huge thanks to Gordon from Engine Services for letting me video inside his workshop. I really enjoyed watching him work fellas 😊👍🏼
That is one knowledgeable guy right there

This is a master class from Gordon what a knowledgeable modest gentleman,they just don’t make them like that anymore 👌
No it's not.

Love this. Nothing like watching a proper mechanic at work and especially on a cossie engine
What a nice guy Gordon is to show you his trade and know how. Top man.
That was a very convincing pro that you went to.
What a fantastic engineer Gordon is. Men like him are a dying breed & should be enjoyed while there here. A true craftsman. Fantastic work brother. Looking forward to part two Adam 👍
The worst thing you can do is machine work when it's not needed... This guy is spot on...
Like his special short handled ball-pien with the anti-shock/anti-vibration handle @ 23:37 for removing cam drive pulleys!!!

This was amazing! Such a knowledgeable chap and so pleased he was happy to be filmed.
Gordon is a legend. A master of his craft
Cracking video this, great to know there’s a resource like this in the north east.
Gordon is a walking Cosworth engine encyclopaedia. You're in safe hands there.
BEAUTIFUL WORK Adam again, from Australia
That was wonderful to watch, that guy (Gordon) is an artist.
Brilliant to see a man who knows his trade!
Proper old school engineer, watched every second of that, superb mate
Gordon’s knowledge is next level top bloke
Thank you very much Gorden from OZ
I'm not a mechanic but I enjoyed this. Explanations were complete and clear.
One of your best videos that nan knows his stuff.
Well that 45 minutes went by in the blink of an eye! A thoroughly enjoyable watch 👍 It was that compelling that when I read other people's comments about calendars, I thought 'Calendars?, what calendars...?!' 🙄
Aside from the total engine mastery in this video, it's an absolute delight to hear the English language be spoken as it should.
its great to see this type of workmanship still in action so cracking job being done by Gordon fair play to him. Its been great to watch and can't wait to see the rebuild of the glorious Cosworth Engine.
This series on your engine re build and re manufacture is great content,could watch it all day 👍🏻
Really enjoyed this. Thanks lads
A true master @ engines...shows he's a proper old school in his work ethics etc
Total respect to Gordon...I haven't got a clue about car mechanics but this is quality.
Great to see a master at work.
Now that is a very knowledgeable engineer,I could watch him work there on the YB for hours.Excellent video Adam and I look forward to seeing more of Gordon doing his magic on your engine.
Learn a proffesion kids! You will never work. What a Pro! I subscribe, keep them coming! Thanks
Best blog I've seen for years
True master in action :)
Damn, when this craftsman goes into retirement, all this knowledge, all this experience, will be lost, like tears in the rain (to quote Roy from "Blade Runner")
Love the photo of the saph on the wall, hes loves his sierras
the photos behind the saph were much better...
Nice to see the engineer letting you see what he's doing with your engine, top bloke
I love listening to these old skool engine builders and engineers all day. Its fantastic how much you can learn from them and the wealth of knowledge.

Thank you Adam. Such a pleasure to see a master at work!
The fact that it built up that much dirt on the outside before ever being opened up is a testament to Cosworth excellence.
This video taught me I know absolutely nothing about engines 😅 big respect to this guy you don't learn that stuff overnight , amazing work !
Gordon knows his stuff for sure. I could almost smell that shop. Great video Adam. Very enjoyable. I could watch Gordon work on engines all day!

Engine services is a great place, I've been there many times over the years with motorcycle 2 stroke barrels getting re bored or honed.
Great video, I was a machinist back in the day and absolutely love this detailed strip down and going through all the parts, measuring etc etc
Awesome
Fantastic video!
I could watch this type of stuff all day.
It's good to see a master of his craft explain the process without overly complicating things.
His type are a dying breed nowadays, I hope he has somebody to pass his wisdom on to.
