- We have another cosworth in for a bit of tlc, this one has a bit of an unfortunate history, usual story though I’m afraid.
Also I give an update as to my mental health 
Авто/Мото
Sounds like stress headaches. Last all day, day in, day out and are exhausting because they run you down and can also have a negative impact on your overall health. Luckily you have recognised an issue and are seeking help which is the correct way to go, Kudos on that one and good luck.
Thumping head & sweating in the afternoon?
Goes away a couple of hours after getting home/away from stress?
Yep - been there when I was running my own SME.
Having someone to talk to (preferably NOT NHS & NOT on the record is an excellent route.
I applaud you on being so open about mental health. Well done you, (I hope I got the term right). You were dead on when you talked about men and the reluctance to admit we have issues. Being strong, being a real man isn't hiding from problems, it's acknowledging them and meeting them head on. Then we can be better for our significant others, our children and all those around us.
Hello Lee, it takes real guts to be so open & honest about your mental health issues...
I personally think that you have way to much going on, but every one is different at how they handle lifes pressures...
Running your own business effectively is enough for the majority, especially as all engine building has to be done cock-on, unlike the majority of the Coswoth rebuilds that you get sent...
Carry on your high standards of machining & rebuilds, maybe just do one you tube channel & include everything, viewers can take it or leave it...
Remember, sometimes a slower pace can win the race ultimately...
All the best👍
Hoping for the best for you! Glad you are taking steps to say well.
Cheers Lee. Too many chancers about passing off crap work. Hope all goes well with your recovery.
So glad you've caught the anxiety in time.
I missed/ignored it for long, and I'm gonna pay the price.
Interesting that you mention migraines - I suffered those for years, and I wouldn't wish those on anyone, but I think there is a correlation between those and the migraines.
Go well, man.
Good on you Matt and here’s wishing you well on. The health front, and thanks for another informative and entertaining little piece
Kills me every time I see your finished machined components or machined faces lying on concrete floors. Really bad practice. Got told never to do that when i was a sixteen year old apprentice. Never forgotten.
My father used to suffer a lot from migraine,starting in his fifties....
Being a surgeon himself I can not recall him ever finding a cure or solution!!..... apart from painkillers.
But neither I remember him ever suffering from migraine again after he,at the age of almost 65,stopped working!
It is surely a stress/workload related disease!!
Thanks again for another vid!!!
I love to watch my ‘Barum-Engines-Soap’ at the end of the day!!! (There’s two of’em now!!!)
But never forget to choose for yourself!!! (and your family of course!!)... next are your employees,friends,relatives, neighbours and so on..
We RUclips parasites we love your vids!!!
But as we communicate and ask questions,we occupie you,expecting you to reply.... to explain.... be patient and polite...
Never underestimate the load all this (probably unexpectedly..) puts on your shoulders....
Being 61 years of age meself..... I am pretty sure we (North-Western Europeans-) are very likely to take on too much...
It doesn’t make you any better.... at some stage obliging to more commitments goes at the cost of your personal well-being....
Your dearest ones will probably be the first ones to notice.... but not wanting to be a ‘bother’ might put op with it... I suppose they will, understandably, be very modest about expressing their feelings....
Overloading oneself one can easily loose the ‘overview’....
Take it easy Lee!!
Choose,ABOVE ALL,for you and your dear ones....
Kind Regards,your Channels are in my top five!!!.... but I am no more than an a fan and observer...
Henk,Dedemsvaart,the Netherlands....
Good to see your getting work in and out 😂 hope you can get control of your stress 😢 don't need to worry about the Chanel we are here to see how you do the job, your way 😂 thanks for sharing all your knowledge etc, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Fair play for being so open about your health, normalising the discussion is huge!
Hi Lee! Two questions which have been asked previously, but to which I have seen no answers:
1. What evere happened about all the machinery and kit that the Yank promised to send you FOC, several months ago. Did it all turn out to be a huge spoof?
2. Would it please be possible to see some "catch-ups" with engines on which you have worked? Particularly the very high performance ones?
All the best and keep up the good work.
hi lee enjoy your channel and honesty not many men would admit to there mental health issues wish you all the best with your consultant
Get your blood pressure checked, I had similar headaches and high blood pressure, but now retired headaches and B/pressure down!
Dont let yourself get down so low you end up like I did 6 weeks ago, shingles around the eyes, who knew how painful it is and more so how dangerous it can be, and all because of bloody work, you really have no idea what pain is till you get this rubbish. Glad to say Im out the other side of it for now and off the meds
As my late Mother would say "your health is your wealth" Those thoughtless morons who give you grief over out of date warranty work and threats of court must be a major drain on your health, even if you think you are handling it. Hopefully the expert will get to the root of the problem.
The root of the problem - bad customers!
sounds like from the way you talk that it was warm and sunny out... I live in the US.. all people hear about is how hot it is but we have not had a hot summer.. that affects My depression greatly.. really I need the warm and hot and sunshine to make it through these great lakes winters.. so enjoy your warm weather.. its gone back to chilly weather here... I think we are getting UK weather the last couple years..
Porting was a big thing on the original minis a series heads and cams etc.I was never convinced on the benefits due to the very nature those heads breath.
Sounds to me you need to start stocking your own parts so you have parts in stock and maybe make a few extra dollars.
As you say, there are many out there, who claim to be so good at rebuilds; then you see the results. All talk, no action.
most headaches are down to dehydration.
we're two-thirds water and we have to replace the stuff.
multivits and minerals are an easy way to at least help if you eat crap py food
There is another way but I doubt he will even try it as too many are addicted to sugar and glycemic foods. Everyone I know; including myself; devolved of migraines after changing to low carb ketogenic or carnivore diet. They are also an indicator of low B12 and D3 and K1 vitamins; all in red meat in abundance. Natural colloidal sources of minerals and vitamins are best and devolve need to attempt follow the money "pills for all ills." That includes so called health supplements; all pharma and many synthetic and useless as well as expensive.
Hot weather, migranes good chance you're dehydrated and too hot. Try wearing a wet cold towel around your neck while working too maybe. And avoid caffeine.
Good to see you are dealing with it. Depression and vague coldy fluey symptoms are unhappy bedfellows. Was a regular migraine sufferer and in my case it was sinuses. I still get a "pea souper" from time to time. You may just have picked up an infection from the nippers. All the stuff you use in the shop and particularly the solvents do not help. Look up some symptoms and I don't want to go into them here! Simplest solution first. All the best.
I have the same thing Lee, where I am sick or not well quite often. I also say it's the kids but I think the biggest factor is stress or exhaustion. I work alot as a cnc machinist for a mining company in canada, as do you and I'm proud of that but at the same time I have found a few hobbies as an outlet and that has been helping me alot. I have anxiety and depression issues so I try to keep going because when I stop it sets in. But as I said the hobbies have helped, I build cars with my son's and also rc cars with them and my daughter. They live it as do I so maybe it's something that could help. I hope you get some answers from the psychologist, I am very interested as to what they say.
Sounds like you need another engine builder Lee
Exactly my thoughts you never know where your at when paul keeps coming and going you need someone you can rely on he is a quality engine builder but causes you undue stress with his time of you need a full time man on the job.
we have had a full week of sunshine what's different in that I hear you say well we are in Ireland and you just do not get weather like this and yes you need to get your self well like eating at the right time going to bed at the same time and not eating stuff you do not normally eat eat healthy thanks for the video
Sinus pressure points, Cut a fresh Lime in half, rub it on your forehead and face, hot beverages and steam bath or shower. Engines come and go, there are no Old mechanics. Chiropractic adjustments work too!
Perhaps check you are drinking enough water. Easy to get dehydrated without knowing it. Coffee/caffeine can make it worse.
@Barum Engines Lee, PLEASE do notice how milky this, and a lot of other videos look when you're inside and especially sunlight (like at the start where you're looking towards the entrance) get, even your light fixtures cause things to go milky looking around them to a lesser extent. That is almost always a smudged lens causes that. It can be a scratched one but if a GoPor, mostly they're replaceable though I'm fairly sure that's just smudged, even just touching it with relatively clean hands can be enough. I don't get this too much because of the climate here but fogging I do remember causing it too when I've been other places and a cure for that is to try and get the camera to a temp a little above ambient, sometimes I've put them inside my jacket to let my body heat gently warm them. This isn't disastrous but solving it will greatly improve the quality of the video and EVERYTHING will be crisp and sharp, even looking towards that door.
I'm honestly not trying to be critical for the sake of being critical, I'm just trying to hopefully help you to improve your video quality.
Loads of bugs around Lee, just finding it hard to shake this one off, big swig of night nurse & early to bed can help just to get you through this spell of draining humid air, when the cooler weather returns you should feel more alive..
Notice that the roller shutter door is open most of the times, does that mean there's a lot of dust blowing in ,we put up a clear poly strip curtain which allows easy access with free air flow keep up the good work
Paul from North Yorkshire Rs Breakers was the most genuine when it came to parts engine in my case he said he had a great running engine and "it has loads of paper work saying its had alot of work done...
BUT that he never takes any notice of paperwork as anyone could print stuff off and put it in the folder with the car !"
It's always made me laugh when people say they only by vechiles with ffs 🙄 as so many will be not the case 😅
Joys of running a garage mate , it's so stressful. People are so demanding now days.
Trade isn't like it used to be.
Setraline works for me.
Hooe you feel better soon.
It seems par for the course in USA engine builds, when doing a Cylinder liner, rebore, and hone, a substitute head is torqued down onto the block while this is done. Any thoughts about you doing the same ?
I used to build engines, last one was a Freelander 2, we did a batch of Bugatti Type 35 engines for Crossthwaite and Gardner some years ago. So I know wht you mean about scammers, I got offered an Escort Mexico locally a few years ago. No serial number, no reinforcing plates, wrong engine. That Cosworth block is heat distorted, and wants skimming and I bet the bores are not on the same Plane.
Super video.... 👌 look after urself
these are the best videos on you tube, superb viewing
Sounds like you need to drink more. It thins the bloody and stops your pistons melting. Works for me Lee.
£6000 for S&J iron block and through stud kit is outrageous. No wonder you're busy.
Hi, I had the same issue with motorway driving. It would manifest very badly if I could see really long distances, like the stretch of the m40 north heading towards Thame and Oxford from London.
It went away as quickly as it started. Coping techniques:
1. No music
2. Radio 4 as it’s all talking
3. Concentrate on the car in front and the immediate rad ahead with just brief glances further down the road, enough to be safe and keep situational awareness.
4. Take a break and remember that waiting an hour is not a problem. A 5 hr journey vs a 4 hour journey is not the end of the world.
5. Keep in mind you can always go to a hotel for the night, I never needed to as the thought was enough to know I had a safety net.
It went away and not suffered with this anxiety for years now. Just odd how it happens
The modern LED lights used in vehicles massively disrupt melatonin levels and all have intense blue light. Blue light protection glasses can help to a degree but avoiding night driving is the best solution. Wearing sunglasses massively reduces the skins vitamin D manufacture process as the eye needs the UV stimulation and also manufactures vit D. There is never any need to wear sunglasses in abysmally low UV level UK and most people are hugely vitamin D deficient and seasonal effective disorder (SAD) is a low UV exposure consequence as are many health cascades. Lee needs serious effective detox and better, appropriate diet and not the typical "Children's Birthday Party Factory-made Frankenfood Ping Diet". After 30 the body typically loses the battle against dietary abuse unless remediated sensibly. Jordan Peterson is a case in point.
Pleased to see you getting help. Something you might want to consider (therapist could advise possibly), is looking for a business support group or a business coach. There are multiple types of Mastermind Group available (Vistage, Academy of Chief Executives and so on). Some (Vistage definitely does) include business coaching as part of the offer. Ideally, you are looking for someone who knows your business world and understands the issues you face. I have seen people from other industries benefit hugely from Mastermind groups and coaching. Please avoid the people who work to a formula - there are some franchised coaching firms out there that appoint anyone with a pulse and franchise fee as a coach. You need to work with people who have lived through issues similar to the ones you face in your business. Personal recommendation from someone you trust will be the best way forwards if you should decide to take this path.
Cosworth engine does not seem to work. These 200,205 blocks, is there anything good about them? would like to compare with toyota 3S-5S which is for grandma but can handle 500 hp std 1000 with a little courage
Pure blood reporting in.
At my work place it's the vaccinated constantly getting ill with a few getting heart problems.
Interesting comment. In my work place it's the opposite.
I regret every dose.
Are you in any pain while feeling unwell? Back pain or anything?
Lee,
A friend of mine, his wife, has had migraine headaches for many years. Her doctor prescribed a self administered shot for real Migraine headaches. She takes the shot and twenty minutes later she is migraine free for days. I will not lie to you, they are expensive. However, if you knew how much time she lost working from home, the shots pay for themselves with piece of mind.
If you don't own one, get yourself a blood pressure cup. Check your blood pressure when a migraine comes on. I don't want my favorite car guy having a stroke. Get a hold of some probiotics to improve your immune system. Check into getting monthly vitamin B-12 shots. Another friend of mine got those and it changed her life.
Take care, best wishes. Alan from NC, USA
Supplement vitamin d, zink, and magnesium you need to check which magnesium is the best some are more bio available than others and it needs to be chelated to something else like iron or various other elements.
Is porting nessesary with forced induction?.
I don't have mental health issues myself but I live with someone who is dyslexic. In my opinion I think my friend doesn't enter REM sleep so he's always ill. If your subconscious is awake when your trying to sleep it will eventually make you ill. Do you struggle to keep up with conversations?
You're as sane as the rest of us.
How come we don't see paul much nowadays, i used to like him on occasionally, pity hes not on more regularly.
Do you guys take a deposit before you start work on an engine build??
Hello Lee You say quite often the Crankshaft needs Polishing , What does Polishing Achieve ?
When crankshaft journals are ground, the process leaves little burrs or jagged flaps that protrude above the surface. These are tiny and can only be visualised by using a microscope. If the surface is left as ground the aforesaid burrs will cut accross the oil film and dig into the bearing material thus reducing its life. Poiishing is used to ameliorate the journal's surface by reducing the height of the burrs and jagged flaps. The direction of polishing is also important to ensure the jagged flaps face away from the journal's surface direction of travel.
@@georgebettiol8338 Thank You George every day is a school Day, Building engines isnt for the Faint hearted and should be left to Experts Like Barum Engines
Good luck
You need Vit D . Best thing for your immune system. Helps both Mental and Physical well being.
True story this. I take D every day. Very rarely ill.
Those Cosworth engines aye, they're going to keep you in business for years to come by the look of it. What I don't understand is why are they so popular in the UK?, we hardly even see them where I live and they certainly aren't the engine of choice for tuners.
The cars fitted with them had cult status in the UK. Blame it on Essex.
might be understandable if you compete in some sort of classic touring car racing, or classic rallying where you have to have a period correct engine. I'm sure that's a very small percentage of the engines Lee works on.
Being from a different climate I thrive in the heat! Having a day that hot I have to work wearing a singlet, Gstring and thongs is my idea of a great day, makes the icy cold beer sweeter at the end of the day!😅😂
Of course we worry about you. You share with us. Some of us share with you. It starts to feel like a friendship, the good kind, based on trust and mutual trust and respect. I truly hope it is. Take care of yourself, and dont spend all your time trying the myriad cures recommended by well-meaning viewers. We really do value your efforts. Thanks, Lee. Keep up the good work-but try not to overdo it, or fixate on it too much.
Don't over work Lee
3rd channel coming soon
Barum therapy sessions 😂
😂😂
Try taking some vitamin d supplements. Sometimes migraines can be caused by tension in the shoulder area
👍👍
With most cars, I reckon £1,000 spent on sorting the suspension is worth £2,000 increasing the power, unless of course you're a straight line, dead flat road merchant...
Did the doctors test your sodium levels?
My misses is a Paramedic. . .
I feel your pain Lee. .
I got covid 3 times due to her work!
I fukkin got it 3 times , first time I got over it but took a few months to feel tip top, second time I felt shit for ages, I looked into long covid and f me it was that out of 27 things on the dot gov site I had 23 ,inc rash, pains that come and go everywhere , memory but not long term that’s fine, shortness of breath which was horrible along with dizziness ,shits, metallic taste comes and goes occasionally and sweats etc etc I couldn’t believe it.
Anyway few months later I looked into getting over it as hadn’t a clue and excercise was v important so I got my shit together and started walking 40-50 miles a week … amazing nearly everything’s gone but shortness of breath and dizziness and short term memory went back to normal , coincidence or what ?🇬🇧🥷🏿
Lee, please clean your lens!

Drink more water. Like a fk load more
Hope you havn't had the Jab!!!
It's all these vid you keep making. more pressure than you need. just get on with your life and stop thinking about other's (not including family ). since I have been watching your making more and more, WHY.
Hi Lee,Thanks for all your great content over the last two years. I release that you are helping some people with mental issues’ but for me I watch your to channel escape them. Sadly ill be unsubscribing from your channel. I wish all best in the future. Thanks Chris.
Bye Chris 👋
Too much information you need to keep a lot of the stuff to yourself
The place is a disaster you’ve got shit all over the floor benches packed full of gear it’s just too much
You’ll end up with more Lawsuits
Who pulled your chain?
I’ve known a few engine builders who work in chaos yet engines and axles win rallies
One built European touring cat engines and would keep the most important one as a door stop 🤣
