I can really appreciate how you're not taking any short cuts with this. Many would have stopped at the dry ice blasting, but the hard and time-consuming work you're putting in polishing the engine is really paying off. Very well done, Scott.
I would have completely disassembled the engine, cleaned it with sovent and properly rebuilt the engine, new seals, gaskets, etc.. The engine has been sitting so long that it needs a light rebuild anyway!!!! I think this was a waste of time and resources. I love the video and content though...❤😊
you did a fantastic job on that engine it looks new from how I could see, that's going to make your project look factory new, so pleased for you, it turned out amazing and it's going to pay off for your hard work, can't wait to see you turn that key and all glory fires up ready to attack the streets of Britain. keep up the great work you deserve it.
Anyone else Fascinated by the dry ice process???
Im in a trance watching! Love watching you bring this beauty back to life!!
Good work Scott, it was great seeing the BB progressing. The engine is starting to look amazing, can’t wait to see those heads painted up!! 👍
Funny how AMMO NYC and Ratarossa both drop an ice blasting video on the same day.
Dude I know right!! I just finished watching his video
It was on Obsessed Garage all week
Check out the 'I am detailing' channel if you enjoy watching videos about it, they've been doing it for a while.
@@TheGravyMonster or mine, been at it for 2 years.
yeah new fad thing lol
Mad respect for the attention to detail brother! Much Love, Sabo🤙🤙👊👊💪💪👊👊🤙🤙
I've been so intrigued with this dry ice blasting and this has been the best honest review I've seen to date. Thank you so much!!!
You did the right thing Scott, it's not just the clean-up....The media blasting gets in the engine n destroys it, I know someone who killed a Triumph engine with it....!!
I remember a couple years ago, I went to the store with my grandma and when we were leaving, there was a old Ferrari that was rotting ins someone's front yards being covered in tall grass. I really should ask my grandma if we can see the car again to see if someone bought it or not.
My neighbour had a genuine MGB V8 rotting on his front drive. Anyone who knows these cars - they rotted BADLY. He refused numerous offers to sell it. I moved away and it was still there. Very sad.
Damn. I wish I had that machine when I got my house back after my ex lived in it for a year without cleaning it.
😂
Bruh
Sell it buy BTC 🤣
@@insideman-v1w XRP
@@bikemedia1531 that too plus a few others. Got to start these noobs somewhere 😂
If I won the pressure washer I’d use it for the garden, the patio and for washing the car.
On a different note, I am really impressed with the dry ice blaster, whoever thought of it is ingenious.
Keep up the great work Scott, really impressed with what you’ve done so far on the Boxer
Really impressed with Ice Blasting, never heard of it before. Need one of those to blast out the engine bay on my '72 VW T2 before it goes to paint. Sandblasting makes such a mess, especially when you're working from your own garage or driveway!
Thanks for this! Ice blasting would be ideal for my metal restoration projects! The lack of mess is a massive plus!
Would love that Karcher too!
Great videos man, that engine is going to look 💯 %!
So does that mean you are going to call it the “Ice Boxer?”
I’m here all week... try the veal...
(Rim shot)
Awesome transformation to that Ferrari engine.
I could spend days or weeks cleaning everything I could see with that machine. Awesome piece of kit 👌
I used to work with a company that manufacturers and sells dry ice and the dry ice blasting machines you're using in this video.
Companies like Serv-Pro (which is a fire restoration company) used them a lot because there was never any secondary residue to clean up.
The ice would simply evaporate from it frozen state of -109°F/-78°C which is why you need protection when working around it.
The Mk1 Escort is coming along nicely in the background.
Well done craziest process so far, worth it till the last second! Can't wait for more!! ❤️
Have watched a few 'Ice Blast' cleaning videos, but if I had one I would clean my car, and my neighbours just to see their faces from the transformation.
The benefit of no additional residue is massive.
Would clean the shared block drive and my garden paving slabs. The external plastered walls, my trainers, planters, garden fence panels.
The ice supply would probably be the only thing to curb my enthusiasm...
Used to go through tubes of the SOLVOL cleaning up my motorcycle engine, that ice blaster would have made short work of the fins and other hard to reach areas, it would have saved all those rubbing blisters. 😉 Good to see it's helping clean up your Ferrari. Keep up the good work 👍
Engine is going to look brilliant. If I had that Karcher I would use it for all of my engine clean ups, my patio, drive and cleaning my drains. Just about everything really.
They used dry ice to decon rooms at Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant in Colorado
Wow I’ve never heard of this! Crazy! Satisfying to watch.
I would use it to clean up my old motorcycle. And the undercarriage of my car.
This projekt is actually why i started following your Channel. Keep up the Good work. Cant wait to see it finished!
WOW what a transformation, its looking mental! As good as the ice blast was it just shows you can't beat a hand finish!
Seen this type of detailing before, such incredible results👌I would use on the hole underside and suspension etc.
I kept thinking of Arnold Schwarzenegger saying Mr. Freeze puns this entire video. 🧊❄️🤦♂️
Dude. Chill out!
@@HollywoodF1 You're not sending me to the cooler!
Ice to see you.....
stay cool birdbrain!
Kick ice.
Great to see you back, it’s been a little while, I was almost worried 😊What a difference you can get with a ice blaster and such a little mess!
I would also like to do my engine with it. Thanks for the update and see you in the next one. Big regards from 🇳🇱
Nice ice ...stirred not shaken😁 Great job to a high finishing standard. Respect!!
I'd use that ice blaster to clean the engine bay and V10 lump in the S8 we've got. Then I'd go on to clean the front and back patio and anything else that looks like it needs cleaning cos this looks like one helluva fun and addictive machine!
Amazing work as always. Can't wait for the first time hearing it start up.
I hope you're patient.
That ice blasting kit would be perfect for cleaning up the body and other body parts of my Mini. I have looked into various methods of stripping off the old paint and this looks like it would be the least harsh of all of them.
Cheers and stay well.
Great stuff, latest cleaning tech with classic Ferrari, best of all worlds! I'd find I had lots of friends who needed things doing no doubt!
Nothing beats honest hard graft, the ice machine was good, but the work at the end Scott looked sensational, well done!
What a cool way to clean! 🧊
I see what you did there! 😂 🧊
Good to see more ice cleaning videos out there - I really hope it becomes more and more available purely for personal reasons!
If I had one it’s not stay off for long - with an ongoing restoration of a classic Mustang, which has a filthy engine, gearbox and rear end, as well as an upcoming suspension rebuild on both my daily driver and weekend toy, I suspect it’d be well used and save days of hand and machine wire-brushing!!
I would love to use the Karcher dry ice blaster on my 1967 Mustang to clean all the bits that have been on the car for 54 years. what a great piece of kit.
I have just been made redundant, I am going to look how I could build a company around this unit.
with that ice blaster i'd start my own business restoring those classic engines/cars to former glory. the pressure washer would be a neat start ;)
A friend did that using various blast cleaning methods. Sadly he could not make it pay. His location didn’t help but I suspect you’d need a lot of good contacts.
Ratarossa, you are a magician, hats off to you. Engine Block turned out after your treatment like new, beautiful, congrats. What a relaxing treat to watch and follow, thank you for that
Incredible work! If I had access to it, I’d dry ice my 964 that I’ve had since college. The engine is currently out, getting a rebuild slowly but surely.
Loving this BBI series, cant wait to hear the engine run. Would love to Ice clean my Porsche 996 alloys to remove the stubborn dirt/ stains on the inner barrels, also the engine is coming out at the end of the summer and has 17 years or grime to be removed!
If I had that ice blaster I'd use it to chill my beer 👌😂
After all of that work on the engine, I would definitely look at getting the block clear coated to keep it looking good for years to come!
😊😊
That machine is so clever love the way it leaves no mess that engine block is looking so good
Keep up the good work
Regards
Steve UK London
Awesome mate massive difference this is going to look outstanding once its all finished and back on the road.
Brilliant channel. Great project.
Yeeaayy, finally new video 😁
Ice blasting worked out great for you. Wish I had one to tackle my F430 block and my old Betsy dump truck I use around the yard! Keep the videos coming.
Wow that’s what you call getting a job done, and no messing with fluids and sprays.. I’d be ice blasting my boat engine and trailer I would then move on to blasting and cleaning the engine in my T5, I have done many trailer restorations and this again would be bang on.. top work
Did you ever hear anything about the bits that were stolen whilst in storage ? Love the video’s by the way .. 👏🏻👌🏻😊👍🏻
I was just about to ask the same question!
Nice, I'd use that ice blaster on vintage WW2 aircraft engine restoration.
that was an amazing transformation!
loving the videos and can't wait to see the Boxer completed
I have a driveway full of MINIs that need cleaned, the Karcher would be a cracking device to help me with that
Dry ice is the future for high end detailing cars. Karcher are knocking it out of the park. The engine looked amazing.
The cost of this would be totally out of the reach of individuals. This is an advert for Karcher for industrial applications.
The power and madness of RUclips in full effect.
What would I use the ice blast on? Absolutely everything. Car, decking, paving, fence, garage door. I live on the coast so a special seagull poop attachment would be great 😊
That's a great video especially for me seeing it after my wife (95% my wife did it due to my disabilities) and I spent about 3 hours cleaning the outside of our caravan with nothing more than a garden hose and sponges. We still need to do a lot more cleaning and we have only just started this evening looking at getting a Karcher pressure washer to finish the job off. So in a way it would be a gift to my wife but will also make it a lot easier for me to be able to help her a bit more than I could today.
Talk about timing.
As always I look forward to the next installment on what is my all time favourite Ferrari.
The Kärcher icing machine is awesome! I'd love to clean up the engine of my 1991 Ferrari 348 with it. Keep us updated with the high quality camera mate. Best regards from Germany and stay healthy mate!
AMMO and you uploaded ice blasting videos on the same day.
Ammo showed where all the dirt goes.... everywhere... Ratarossa is like the dirt just disappears.. LOL
Coincidence? I think not!
wow, never been a car man, never even owned a car before but I just love the passion you have and genuine love for restoring these pieces of history. Gonna have to get me some merch. All hail the rat!
You’re not a man if you don’t like cars ... those girls sit to piss
That ice blaster is fantastic! Would love to have one to use on all of my car projects!
Great job! If I had access to a Karcher ice blaster I would use it to clean up the engine and gearbox and front suspension on my mates 1979 Maserati Merak SS rebuild project - we’ve just got the engine out and are sorting out what work it needs. RHD Merak SS is very rare - about 56 left in the UK of which all but about 20 are SORNed. Like you we’ve a big task to get it back on the road!

With glass bead blasting you get that really sparkly finish you are after, but the surface stays rough.
There is softer material that leaves it smooth
The engine in general wouldn't have had a smooth finish on it, as its cast in sand it would have a slight textured finish, and glass bead imitates it very well. I used to use glass bead to clean and restore aluminum engine parts all the time,
@@jimprojectgoldwing5536 also it’s a mistake to make a cast bloke smooth as this can effect the cooling seen many project cars and bikes suffer when people polish them smooth when they weren’t ment to be as your getting rid of surface area and increasing temps normally love the videos but this made me shudder
We used Cold Jet at my old job to clean matched metal mold dies (up to 50,000 pound tools) and large screens for silk screening among other odd bits. It had to be done in a special closed room and the person operating had to be in a full environmental suite with pumped in air. Oh, and it was LOUD! The machine made its own dry ice pellets. It is now automated on a robot arm. We had also had a laser ablative system that was supposed to replace the dry ice machine, but that got nixed at the last minute for some very stupid reasons as it worked very well. The little guy you were using does an OK job for light stuff, but as you saw, was not up to the task of the amount of grime you were up against. Honestly, while messy, walnut blasting would have been better.
Impressive piece of kit that ice blaster! For the competition prize I would go for the old favourite patio as have never found a jet wash that can clean in well enough, come on Karcher do your stuff!
I’d be straight out blasting my block paving 👍
Bloody hell that was satisfying. What sort of value will this car have when you finish it?
pristine you're talking 300k
plus I think Scott said it was the only white one left?
@@PompeyMatt17 IIRC, only white one ever made with UK steering. Sadly, there's enough rust that the car will need repainting so the paint won't be 100% original - though if I recall correctly, there's some classic Ferrari weirdness involved here, which says that as long as the car been certified original *once*, you can repaint it and it'll still be "original" because the certification isn't recalled...
@@Winchester1979 I'm sure you're right. On Iain Tyrrell's channel they're stripping down an original Muira..don't think they'd do that if it affected it's status and value.
I would use the ice blaster to get the dried weeetabix off the kids breakfast bowls 😆
Karcher Ice Blaster made a great job. Would be useful for underarch cleaning on my whole fleet but especially my MX5.Would allow me to de-rust the suspension.
The engine clean up looks great. I'd also would love a Karcher as they are so versatile from cleaning my patio to cleaning my 1966 VW Splitscreen bus 👍🏻
Ok. One question: *who* would actually leave a Ferrari outside, not driven, unless of course it isn't drive able, for 12 years?
The owner probably bought it on loan, left it unpaid, the creditor tried to seize it but didn’t know where it’s located, the previous owner moved abroad. As time passed by, the creditor found it and placed it on auction
Someone with money
The 1st owner was a Saudi Royal prince as i heard from his first video
Ah, so they hadn't got life then :/
Drug dealer or a gangster who has been jailed for 12 years now released, came out of prison and sold it.
Never understand how things like this get neglected and abandoned in the first place! If life happens and you need money ,sell it and be wealthy again!
@No Pill 4 me I agree,all very true. A bit of a horder myself. But not talking about an old mg or camry, it's a $250,000 ferrari!
Me too. I have a couple of dismantled cars, but only because I have garages to keep them in so they aren't deteriorating. If I had no sheltered space I'd not buy cars I don't use. It would cause me mental anguish knowing that it was out there rotting away
@@doctorsatansrobot Mental anguish is a great way to put it. The frickin thing had moss growing on it. I shouldn't have even used an MG in my analogy either that also would hurt. 🤕 Even have a hard time watching movies that destroy great old cars!
I'd use the blaster on my BMW 2002 rebuild project. Car's body would need that so much, but also the engine for sure. Great videos as always, Scott!
Mate! That engine is looking amazing. Its a credit to you and the Karcher team. I'd use it on my brothers Holden VH Commodore engine. Hasn't been cleaned since the 80's.
You should find one of those laser guns! Clean that block up in about 20 minutes.
I think that's for rust
It burns off oil and maybe dirt as well
or just use one of them newly invented steam cleaners
I would ice blast my entire motorbike, which I decided to repaint as a "lockdown project" sorely overestimating my level of ability, it now looks like a trifle has run down it!
It was the best Ferrari 512BBi once, not the best now, but will be the best Ferrari 512BBi in the future.
Glass beads in a blasting cabinet is the best results for cast aluminum and steel.
Glass will not contaminate the surface , leaves original cast marks and takes little time to get "like new" castings.
Dip the parts in paint stripper tank (I used crysilic acid ) rinse with water and blow dry, glass bead the parts and voila!
Clear coat with matt-flat-gloss as needed and finish will be bright for years.
Have you found the tool kit yet Scott ?
Bbi .... update ...at last 😆😆😆
Great job. Dry ice blasting is the future.
And good elbow grease on the latter half.
I know that engine is coming back.
Just now catching up after being really busy for a while. It was almost therapeutic watching that engine coming clean. I've used lots of media blasters, but never dry ice - would like to try that one day on my own build. You know, in my spare time.
Good job on the engine!! It gives a glimpse of what it will be like when it is finished. With ice blaster, it a shame you didn't have a giant vat of milk and a pallet of oreo cookies. You could have made ice cream for all of your subs
Perfectly timed for a Friday night!
Engine is looking good, it's coming together slowly, I'd use that ice blaster on my classic mini I've got in the garage that needs some love
An awesome video and I loved the clips featuring Clarkson, Tiff Needle and especially the chap driving on the racetrack. That was a nice touch.
Well done and thank you! 🙂👍
Glad you tried the ice blasting, i said the results were good
Girlfriend: Please clean the toilet.
Me: No problem! Let me just start the compressor and get my 15.000$ ice blasting machine ready.
Thats how i´d use this beast...
Lol
My house has been a home/school/workplace/playground for the past 12months, that ice blaster could be put into good use here! Love the progress on the car it's looking great.
Fantastic work!!! Can't wait for the next episode of Ferrari BB project.
Larry from AMMO uploaded a dry ice cleaning video sametime as you 😂😂NICE !!!
Good that they're sharing knowledge
Sadly, this and the AMMO videos are a poor representation of the latest technology and methods. You'll all find out eventually.
@@ScottAles steam cleaning
Not impressed with Kaercher`s performance really. I`ve seen other ice blasting videos where rust and dirt are removed instantly (v=yGuTUGjh9Ns for example).
Me neither, Given the cost I thought it was very poor. Suppose Scott is obliged to leave a favourable review though.
Thought it did fine,
Edit, actually after seeing other projects, I agree , it’s disappointing
@@thepixalator6758 its the setup. since he prob never used one. You can adjust to have different levels of abrasiveness.
Should have just sand blasted all of it to begin with
Engine looks so much better now! Got a lot of crud on both my car and in the garden would love to dig at with that Karcher! 😁👍
Love Karcher. Awesome they do ice cleaning equipment
I'd use the ice blaster to make multiple gin and tonics at the same time!
Woo hoo, I am first on a Ratarossa video!
🥇
Great video and superb result from Karcher with the ice blasting. I know the new K4 would help me so much with keeping mine and my wifes cars clean between detailing my old K3 is getting very long in the tooth now and has not got long for this world now so a new k4 would be such a treat. That engine is going to look so good after all your efforts and I for one cant wait to see that beuatiful ferarri back to its best.
I'd use that Karcher Ice Blaser to not only keep my vehicle (especially the underside) in pristine condition, but also for cleaning the siding on the side of my house. I have a one hundred year old house and that machine would be excellent in cleaning all sorts of materials on my historic home without inflicting any unnecessary damage.
I’d use it on my AMG E36 w210 engine and a whole heap of other things. What a seriously satisfying looking process. Very impressive
Awesome stuff. Got a couple of vintage BMX frames which have been sat in the shed for years. They'd clean up a treat with that thing!
Amazing job on the engine. Ice blasting is the future. Would be good to see what the smaller model was capable of. If i had a Karcher pressure washer i would be using it to cleaning out the brickwork on my house. Would tala a fair amount of time but it would make the place look like new.
If i had that ice blaster i would do everything i see, its so relaxing watching it cleaning
