@@yhshah21 yep I know wot u mean 2022 year u tube died.......it got rid of us truthers , that's y !!!!!! U tube more adds that itv sky n channel 4 put together 🤮🤮🤢🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The info Chris shared about the engine that sucked up water-leading to the cracked cylinder liner was both interesting and an eye-opener. Great stuff..!
A mate did that with a Renault Espace through a ford years ago, low or bumper sited air intakes or something. The mechanic said "they all do that, sir".
Chris takes the time to invent something. This is how you recognize a real professional, and then also take the time to explain it properly. It is a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. Such a video can easily take an hour because it won't get boring.
Chris's home made tools are brilliant. Especially as they save time and a lot more disassembly. The schrader valve/glow plug tool is pure genius. That oil had been oil far too long, but I'm glad everything cleaned up. I can't wait to see if it runs, and I can't wait to see the new customs purchase. Top work. 👍
Brilliant ingenuity! It’s what made British engineers the envy of the world. Your ability to overcome these complex engineering headaches with the minimum of fuss is a credit to you both. These videos should be played in schools to help boost the ever dwindling enthusiasm for STEM careers at technician level. Keep it up chaps.
It is such a joy to watch a video like this where camera shy Chris decides he is no longer camera shy and brings us all great knowledge and skill. It is marvellous. Well done Chris. (and of course Rob).
Chris's little discourse on the valve was extraordinary! Who needs Descartes, Derrida and Wittgenstein. Everybody needs a Chris in their life because he can fix anything! Absolutely amazing.
Wow, these videos just get better each time. I’m no mechanic but I understand what is needed and Chris clearly has a talent for explaining it, very well done, thanks.
I don't think it's fair to underestimate the contribution Rob makes, they both contribute content in their own way and that's why it works. Keep up the good work guys.
That’s what you get with someone who knows what they’re doing, explained brilliantly and made the tools as you go along, a lot of know how saves a fortune, if not in money in time alone, let’s hear this Swiss watch purr again 👏👏👏
I genuinely look forward to Monday/Wednesday and Friday evenings just to watch the next one, In the trade myself and love all the videos you guys put out, best channel on RUclips 💪😎
Just so impressive to watch, old fashioned mechanics none of this it's broken let's get a new one. Great video Chris and Rob for getting the new parts.
Really interesting seeing the results of a hydro locked engine. I’ve watched loads of videos of cars attempting to cross the ford at Rutherford and failing. Now I know the catastrophic engine failure that’s happening for my entertainment 😂 Thanks Chris 👍
Where would the channel be without Chris the magician between bodywork and mechanical side and then you have Rob that always Manages to source a part from somewhere what a team 👏🏻
Hello Rob and Chris, excellent work by Chris, people who are driving through Rutherford Falls should watch this video to see the damage they are causing to their engine by driving through 3ft of water. Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Best episode yet. As an engineer I bodge things as I call it to make them better when they break. Chris's ingenuity with doing the collets is 10/10. Yet at 16 mins in I laughed at the best bodge ever. Rob using the BMW rear quarter box lid to lay on. Honestly an off of the scale bodge worthy of 11/10, like a Marshall Amp 🙂
Without a shadow of doubt, one of the best videos you've produced. This one's all praise for Chris, his engineering skills are second to none. Plus, his explanation of what he's doing means that even people with a limited mechanical knowledge can make sense of what he's doing. Pure class.
I’m not a mechanic but I have been watching your channel for over a year now. This video was very interesting and how Chris made that tool and got all of the bits out of the engine, to me is amazing. Thank you guys. 😊
Another good video. It is so satisfying to make up your own ''special tools''. I have done so many times and still keep them in case I need them again. Rob and Chris go well together.
Chris is one clever man. It's a pleasure to watch him work and explain his method in a clear and concise way. With what you both bring to the partnership it's a winner.
Really enjoyed this tutorial. Can't wait for the next part. I'm a bit of a mechanical dufus, but I find Chris's explanations really easy to understand.
Thanks Chris, I now fully understand what hydralock means and exactly what it is. another school day 👍. As you say, I'm one of the ones who enjoys these engine videos as much as the bodywork ones.
Chris really is an artist of his trade, amazing how he does all these tricks and tips. It was actually very interesting, and informative to see what happens and engine that takes in water. Thanks guys ❤
I've fed cord into a cylinder & lifted the piston to hold the valve in place while I've removed a valve's collets .... it was petrol though, so the spark plug hole was bigger
Back when I was young I would have removed the head. I might not have thought of doing that. Well done to Chris for making a tool and it worked very well. Essential that all the bits be recovered and now we have a nice clean sump pan ready for reassembly. Love the video Rob and Chris take care both of you. 👍👍
Well done Chris! Very clear and very informative. And I love both your accents. I'm not a Brit, but to me your accents sound really pleasant and relaxed.
You guys are top notch honestly a Monday ,Wednesday & Friday never goes by without me tuning in to watch you guys in action you work great as a team , Chris I just love the way you go out of your way to explain what you thinks happened and how you go in to great detail what your doing ,love all these great gadgets you make up to get jobs done, well done lads
Very enjoyable, both with the improvised tooling and with the hunt for the debris in the sump. It was CSI Salvage Rebuilds today 😁. Now I‘m looking forward to the next part of the BMW quarter panel replacement (plus this new customs seizure). Cheers and thanks to you both for another educational video.👍
Super super job by miracle worker Chris That block don’t half need some oil changes to get every single bit otherwise it’s like valve grinding paste washing round wearing the engine out Do your self a favour and do another oil / filter change before you unload it
All the comments echo my thoughts, brilliant explanations,filming,thought processes. When you work for yourself there is no idea input from work mates, it all has to come from experience and improvisation. Chris ALL that information put across so even us numpties can learn something in 15 mins, I do wonder if any of your inventions/ modifications don't go to plan. Loved this;
Proper old skool engineering there Chris, cracking result getting the collet back in, boy it needed an oil change, definitely poor maintenance issue here 😜
To demagnetise your screwdrrivers ect just tap them hard on your vice, or any other heavy steel or cast metal item, a few times. To remagnetise them just rub a magnet along the blade a few times.
Did similar on a 214 Rover years ago, used a tube spanner with the side cut out, a loop of rope under the inlet manifold and a long bar that sat on the tube spanner with one end through the rope loop and then leant on the other end to compress the valve spring, held the valves up using a compression tester with its schrader valve removed, screwed into the plug hole and connected to my compressor, did all 16 valve stem seals. Where there's a will, there's a way! 👍
Nice work guys . Great to hear Chris talking his way through the fix. So pleased he called them by their original name , valve collets!! instead of keepers as some people refer to them as these days
I love these insights into what causes engine failures. Invariably it is lack of maintenance and people’s stupidity driving through water which gets sucked into the engine causing catastrophic failure. Chris is a man after my own heart, make a tool yourself, think outside the box. Tremendous result, and you recovered all of the scrap from the sump too 👍🇬🇧😎
Great Video Chris... to be honest didn't understand bits of it but great to watch a Car Surgeon save an engine. Such a knowledgeable guy, and improvising to make a tool to do the job. 👍👍
If the customer put that car into a garage they would want to take the head off and charge a fortune for it. There’s not many Chris’s left now. Well done for another great video.
All that time in the past when Chris stayed silent on thesevideos we were missing some of the best mechanical explanations available on RUclips! Thank you for today’s explanation Chris, all really interesting and very ingenious
Well done Chris: great bit of improvisation to save the day! Seeing this I'm reminded of how poorly designed the 1.6HDi oil pans are. The sump plug thread is recessed into the sump pressing and, despite the presence of a small drain hole through the thread (which blocks with carbon sludge) it effectively forms a 'bund' to retain oil and crud when the sump plug is removed. In those I've worked on I've drawn them out to remove the bund effect: it reduces ground clearance for the sump but means that crud in the sump stands some chance of draining fully when the sump plug is removed.
Wow what a great idea Chris this is one of my favourite videos to date. Chris just wanted to say that you should be proud of yourself for how far you have come in front of the camera pal well done
so much more entertaining than anything on television - absolutely love watching these guys . Sat in a Lay by to watch. this tonight ,,,Thanks Chris and Rob
Always wondered what an engine looked like internally after encountering Rufford Ford in England! No wonder some of those vehicles were DOA after going through water in those RUclips videos.
What a clever guy Chris is. Reminds me of my late dad who used to make things like that to overcome a problem. Another brilliant video guys. Thank you.
Lads make sure you check the turbo oil feed. On the early engines there was a fine gauze filter where the oil feed pipe exited the block. This gauze filter would block up if oil changes were missed starving the turbo of oil. Great video as always. And an excellent video showing what happens if you don't change your oil.
Used to also create custom tools which ended up saving the day on multiple jobs but after you finish you swear blind you will never use them again and lose them only to need them again for the same job months later. Fantastic video and the mics work much better this time
My mate had similar piston damage when a couple of swirl flaps fell in on his bmw 🤦♂️ excellent engineering work chris, love seeing tools and set ups being built from scratch 👌
Let's all remember that at 1 point Chris didn't want to be on camera....now he is presenting the videos
GO CHRIS!!!!!
Great stuff guys 👌
Well done Chris your the best !!!!
Chris , the real star of the show.
@@markdowling5162 They both are, it wouldn't work without either of their skillsets
Agree completely, Chris skills are awesome and it’s great to see his confidence infront of the camera now 👍
Since he showed himself in the toilet a new world opened hahah
With TV today so dull and boring, these videos will go from strength to strength.
Totally agree .......t.v still playing movies from the 80s !!!!
Even RUclipss getting boring only look forward to these videos and a few other build channels.

Those who drive through 'Rufford Mill Ford' should take heed ;-)

Always love it when Chris fabricates custom tooling, the use of the schrader valve was genius!
chris &alan millyard combined could end up being the ultimate engineering experts what a tool to make keep up the top notch videos
Nice shout out to Alan, perfect, another genius in his field.

Hello Rob and Chris, excellent work by Chris, people who are driving through Rutherford Falls should watch this video to see the damage they are causing to their engine by driving through 3ft of water.
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Load of string down the hole - wind up to tdc... valve held.. Old often works. Plus you don't have to worry about leaks, with string.
Brilliant watching Chris at work, 12.40 it's like watching a surgeon. Well done on getting another customs vehicle, can't wait 😃
Best episode yet.
As an engineer I bodge things as I call it to make them better when they break. Chris's ingenuity with doing the collets is 10/10.
Yet at 16 mins in I laughed at the best bodge ever. Rob using the BMW rear quarter box lid to lay on. Honestly an off of the scale bodge worthy of 11/10, like a Marshall Amp 🙂
great to see what Chris can actually make from a piece of scrap bar and some bolts etc .another very interesting video guys . loved it ......

Woop woop Well done Chris. Not only have you saved the day, you saved the engine from being scrapped. 🎉 well done another great video.
Absolutely loved the information from Chris!
Genius!
That hydro locked engine was interesting to see!
Many thanks Chris and Rob
Really great stuff gentlemen, fantastic detail and workmanship as always. Thank you so much.

Well done Chris, great explanation and ingenuity to solve problems. Excellent video.
That tool to compress the spring is proper thinking outside the box just like I did all my working life well done m8 brilliant engineering thanks
Chris should be called engine doctor Chris - the amount of knowledge and skill this guy has is outstanding 👍🏻 proper old school Lovely to see ☑️
Chris is like a surgeon. 👍
Touched for the very first time.
Chris really is an artist of his trade, amazing how he does all these tricks and tips.

How wonderful to see such a great bit of repair. Imagine how many things in this world are thrown away when they could have been fixed.
Very enjoyable, both with the improvised tooling and with the hunt for the debris in the sump. It was CSI Salvage Rebuilds today 😁. Now I‘m looking forward to the next part of the BMW quarter panel replacement (plus this new customs seizure). Cheers and thanks to you both for another educational video.👍
Unbelievable engineering. Top stuff. My old man was like that. Rest in peace Dad.
You have to admit that Chris is a genius, i love these videos guys, keep them coming. Absolutely brilliant.
A thoroughly enjoyable watch. The level of detail filmed on the repair is outstanding.
Super super job by miracle worker Chris
That block don’t half need some oil changes to get every single bit otherwise it’s like valve grinding paste washing round wearing the engine out
Do your self a favour and do another oil / filter change before you unload it
Really love a bit of old school engineering from Chris. Beats buying a tool when you can make one.
Perhaps use a piece of angle iron for the tool? It would resist distorting better than a flat plate.
congrats chris you are the new edd china 2022 ,thanks for all the explanations ,we learn a lot ,regards from uruguay suth america !!!
