04:50 - first came across green stuff at the 1981 Sierra back axle lines in Swansea Ford's when we were putting in the miles long PLC wiring in trunking, and they were doing testing runs - ASEA robots.
No need to apologize. Terrific episode, and happy birthday from the USA. I'm amazed how much you do with so few people. Carry on, and enjoy your time and family.
Those blue plastic boxes are awesome. You could get a stack of them to use for each of your engine projects, instead of the random collection of cardboard boxes that you have been using. This would help keep the shop tidy and would improve your workflow. They could be a birthday present to yourself!
Happy birthday Lee. That trick of trimming the front crank seal can only be learned from experience or being educated by a master technician like yourself. I have learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you.
As an aircraft mechanic I suggest using some silk thread around the sump face in the sealant (in the middle of the sealant) . This works as small barrier to leakage and is used on engine half's on aircraft and volkswagon half's. This is cheap insurance.
You seemed genuinely happy and excited to be in the shop today - a sign that the balance is about right when work stuff doesn’t suck and you want to get into it … and then family time 👍
All good birthday wishes! Hope it was enjoyable! Slightly surprised you do an in depth disassembly of the engine. Even to me, I thought questionable workmanship by you would be the last cause
I'm having trouble with a Nissan Patrol, 4 cylinder Turbo ,seems to keep oil at top of engine, people have been checking it after it's been running and overfilling it by over a liter, 🎉hope you have a great night with family, and friends, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Happy HAPPY Birthday Lee! Wishing you a DELUXE Day! Enjoy another trip around the Sun! Make the next 30 days your birthday month! Go out and have some fun!
Bravo Lee. The amount of silicone you used on that sump is the maximum amount that should be used on any engine. I don't k know what they must sell it in such big tubes. 1/10 the size of a toothpaste tube would be plenty for any engine. Too many people plaster the stuff on everything, it gets inside the engine, goes hard and blocks the oil ways.
Sometimes the engine is just gosh plain old, twisted to heck and back through decades and decades worth of heat cycles. I've had more than a couple of problem areas on 4A-GE engines myself, and when there's no more meat left to machine flat, the best solution I found > Keep applying silicone until no more problem area. It's not the 200% way that you subscribe to (and nothing wrong with subscribing to the 200% way), but better than throwing the block away when you don't have the cash for a good condition block, which are impossible to find these days.
Had a V8 infinity 2 years ago with oil way in head gasket completely blocked...fucked cams and one cylinder head completely on a newly built engine ...
Happy birthday Lee, another xcellent video as usual, the oil in the Cosworth engine is in all the right places for a breather or a turbo problem and my feelings is its the breather. Despite what some people think there is nothing wrong with sealers for sumps, timing covers etc, i always use Dirko HT made by Elring, been building engines with it for years.Its whatever works for you i tend to stick with.
Happy returns of the day Lee, all power to you! You look and appear to be a lot happier after a couple of hard decisions and I hope that this year improves for you.
Happy HAPPY Birthday Lee! Wishing you a DELUXE day! Enjoy another trip around the ☀! Make the next 30 days your Birthday Month! Go out and have some fun! Wishing you all the best! I signed in on a different account earlier. This message may seem familiar! 🤦♂
happy birthday bud, not being funny but that wynns black silicone is terrible, i would advise people against it after going through years of chasing good sealants, we use the threebond grey stuff that subarus use and its bulletproof to the point we manage to get c20xe engines not to leak at all
@@philhuggett4776 it is so mate, superb, another tip is to clean up the alloy surfaces lightly with wire wool then wipe off with brake cleaner gives an excellent key to both surfaces....
Had a MGB 1800 that was smokey especially on the overrun. Manifold vacuum was sooking oil up the blowby gasses pipe into the engine. Made a basic catch tank filled with stainless steel pan scrubbers to allow the oil to condense , every few hundred miles emptied it out , about a 1/2 pint of oil was in the bottom of the container each time . But the engine was much less smokey 😊
Hi Lee I presume you have the baffle plate in the block the one that's held in by three rivet's If not that will be your problem as the oil gets thrown out of the block and into the kidney box and over whelms the breather system. Glad to see your keeping well
Happy birthday Lee. On the smoking cosworth engine, when you were going over the head I could see that on cylinder 1 the first exhaust valve and exhaust port was very oily and wet compared to the others, could this be part of the issue?
Be careful just doing , rings and stem seals because it’s apart! You could be leaving yourself open to the accusation of it was rings or stem seals and customer refusing to pay!!
Last video there was "no oil behind the valves" ruclips.net/video/DuWsdNDDK2Y/видео.html Now suddenly the entire intake system (valve included) is soaked I for one would not have torn my engine down without checking the inlet box for oil first
I'm familiar with function of closed crankcase breather on komatsu diesel engines (emission reduction) but what is the function of the breather on the cosworth?
Hehe something that might make you chuckle... last friday car was running like a pig so rang me mechanic and he asked me when was the last time I put fuel in, so I says um December 23rd... so he says open the fuel cap and have a niff and man it was stale ale city, what a pong so filled up with some super plus and she be a running like a beaut once again... I have ordered some new HT leads some performance ones and a sporty rotor and cap for the 45d, got new NGK sparklers in there and I changed the electronic module last year on the Accuspark dizzy. Also replacing the winkled choke cable with a piano wire one should be fun getting at that on me Robin lol
And tomorrow's my birthday. All the best people... 🤭 I hope you enjoy yours. 🎂🍻
no comment....
Jesus Christ was a Capricorn, like me... 😯😁
Snap my birthday tomorrow as well 🥳
Happy Birthday 🎂
To all, thank you and I hope you enjoy yours as well. 🎂🍻

That anaerobic sealer looks great. I've seen bits of sealer inside crank oil ways.... So much information in your videos.
Happy birthday Lee for yesterday hope you had a brilliant day 🎂🎁🎉🎊.
All looks busy in the workshop 👍👍👍
Happy returns of the day Lee, all power to you! You look and appear to be a lot happier after a couple of hard decisions and I hope that this year improves for you.
You should always fit the front pulley before tightening the front cover bolts ,it will help to keep things centralised.
Happy birthday lee
Hope you had a great birthday. 🍺
That little valve is an important part of the breather system. Called a miofiltre, it diverts crankcase breather back to airbox side during boost.
Penblwydd Hapus Lee (Welsh) 🎉🎂hope you had a great day (mine’s a week today, 71). Love the videos. Best wishes, Bob M. South Wales

hope you had a NICE HAPPY BIRTHDAY take the wife out and enjoy the day ,thanks for the video
Happy birthday lee,hope you get the present i sent🤭.its mine on Wednesday,so I'll keep an eye put for postie with your gift😂😂
2x 16--19mm hoses from valve cover connected to x2 catch cans . Vent the cans to atmosphere or inlet duct just behind air filter .
Love the clock on the wall (14:00)..........how often does it catch people out???
Happy birthday. Keep well!
Happy Birthday Lee - I hope you get some cake

3bond all the way.! Amazing stuff

Acetone or styrene will leave a brialliant finish for any adhesive 👍🏻

Leer happy birthday you don't look a day over 60.
A real wheel drive Mark One Focus, blimey, that’s a new one on me.
Love it all. Thanks.
Happy birthday enjoy from john
Oh gawd,
not another Librian
God save me!
Be careful just doing , rings and stem seals because it’s apart! You could be leaving yourself open to the accusation of it was rings or stem seals and customer refusing to pay!!
Watched you put loads of gaskets and wondered why done you just bin the gaskets and use sealer like 90% of manufacturers these days on the cosworths.
Day off if it's your birthday? Blimey, easy life you have.
Happy birthday Lee, it's my Mrs 40th today too.
Looks like all the best people where born today 😂😂😂
I have a birthday this year as well :-)
Cat left you?
Shaver blunt?
Fused?
Hi Lee. I suggest that you don't give up your day job to go on the stage!
fingers crossed that crank breather is the problem :)
will you bill em anything for that? lots of labor to figure out that its external issue causing the oil burn..
Had one way valve stick in the inlet on these the ball bearing gets jammed and can cause this
Lee could the blow by contribute to this problem?
Kit from down under
I also thought crankcase fumes with too much oil in them.
Last video there was "no oil behind the valves" ruclips.net/video/DuWsdNDDK2Y/видео.html
Now suddenly the entire intake system (valve included) is soaked
I for one would not have torn my engine down without checking the inlet box for oil first
I'm familiar with function of closed crankcase breather on komatsu diesel engines (emission reduction) but what is the function of the breather on the cosworth?
Googled it....kinda similar, relieves pressure in crankcase. Komatsu has a filter to catch oil mist before it gets into the intake side of engine.
You cant have a breather connected to the inlet on a cossie past std power your risking melting it or running out of oil!
Do we have the same Birthday? October 9?
My ex-wife has her birthday on the 11th - no further comment....
(What was I doing???)
Exhaust looks a bit carboned up.
I would have thought Paul would be full time🤔
How frustrating, all that work because of a forgotten breather.
Another piece of vital information the scammers have on you thought you were smarter than to give away vital information like that
