The Bedford build was one of the best builds on RUclips due to the amount of re design / build of parts to get the Barra in. I am really glad this build is back it’s going to be very interesting.
As a mechanic myself, thanks for keeping in some of the really detailed information. Was awesome to listen to you both have a technical conversation over an awesome engine.
Do it Tyler, or do I start with the p*ssy comments (again)? 😛 Join the club and learn the pain of spending the same as your house deposit on an engine capable of 1500hp. 😈👍 Nananananananana I can't hear you Paige! 🤣
The usual 'thumb up' for the content, and two more for correctly using lb-ft, rather than ft-lb which is actually work done.👍👍👍 So, a trip across the Pacific in the future for the Bedstead? It'll confuse the heck out of our American buddies 🤣
Fully enjoyed that, U.K. resident here and have always had a love from destroked and engines so loved the idea of this! Was hooked throughout, sometimes these full depth can lead to jumping through but watched the length!
As we move in the electric age of motor vehicles, I do hope that this wonderful knowledge and craftsmanship of building amazing combustion engines is preserved in some shape or form ...
That workshop looks cleaner then some restaraunts! The attention to detail, and the explanation of the sealing rings, so clear and easy to understand why!
Thanks for sharing so much technical detail. Especially the part about the fire ring crush over the gasket thickness. I've talked to so many "Pros" about this over the years, and frankly if they work with RB's they shrug their shoulders. Half the reason I've been o-ringing instead, which comes with its own set of issues.
Robby seems like a sound dude! It's nice to see some one who appreciates good quality machining and design. Not just the standard "ooooo it's shiny so it must be good" I had wondered in the past about axial roller bearings as thrusts people always think they don't need something until they need it.
Some days I think I've learned enough from The Skid Factory to rebuild and customize my whole Mustang... and then there's days when I watch the teachers learn and i think I better buy a new transmission and pay to have my engine rebuilt. Keep up the GREAT work guys!!
The copper/bronze gasket reminded me of the same trick done to my Kawasaki big bored bike back in the eighties, as no gasket existed for this mod at the time. I had a copper ring and groove in barrel, just annealed it and apply torque. Cant wait to see this engine in action, interesting build.
Absolutely sensational stuff...! What an absolute belter of a motor. Great to see masters at work who explain stuff in layman's terms without any smoke and mirrorsn or bullshit. Well shot and edited too. Great package, well done fellas...!
The conversions crack me up. Then again I'm an American engineer, so I live my life going between the units. So, 1.34 hp/kw, so 1340 hp. Also 0.220" is ~5.5mm at 0.040" is ~1mm. That's the easy off the cough number. Love the destroker. Cool build.
Thanks for this video! 😊 A long long time ago (lol) I worked in an engine shop, and it makes my day to see Robbie doing his thing and handing out knowlede. Two dead set legends that don't talk any bullshit = ✔🖒
High performance build and … Al is most interested in getting a nice new ring compressor just like Robby’s. Good to have your priorities straight! 🙂 Good tools are important.
Cripes! CAD is almost at par with AUD, that is one heck of a crankshaft. I'm convinced you get what you pay for, but that crank costs more than most heaps I buy and drive 😂
Awesome..your video quality and presentation is leaps and bounds from when you started. I had my engine geek fix this morning so thanks guys and well done
Apart from the specific made tapered ring compressors (which only fit one specific bore), I think these deceptively simple plier-type ring compressors are the best. 500+ engines further and I still use the same one I bought 25 years ago. Tweak them a bit conical and store them with care.
Just binge watched all 17 episodes of the bedford build. The most unusual thing about the build was a registered rm250 and a richard branson duck sanctuary
It's a Hybrid RM/RMX250. Millsi built it frame up and I rode it for a year or so then sold it back to him and he is re rebuilding it from frame up. Yes, Millsi is also an insane dirt biker. Not sure about the duck sanctuary but Branson does own an island near here.
There is a guy in WA that has manufactured a Alloy Barra block. Id love to see a build with that. The future of Barras will eventually have to be custom because they ain't making any more of them. (Wonder who has the original cast molds etc)

Love this and love the Barra though I don't understand why its being de stroked?? Nice work as always gent!

Too right, no matter how much you learn, someone else will always know more.
Not necessarily know more. Just something you may not have come across.

After 40 years in machine shops, one thing I've learned is you befriend and hang around with the old guys. Cuz they know ish that you don't!
Unfortunately now I'M the old guy.....
Seeing a old Bedford pull on a commodore is priceless 👌😂🤣
Cracked me up aye 🤣
I used to deliver tv's in one of them a while ago (trying not to admit how old I am)!
More Robbie please. He was great at explaining stuff.
Robby there the kind of guy who's forgotten more than I'll ever know. Good stuff.

If this engine business doesn't work out, Robbie can be an old dude fitness influencer.
no joke!
He's built like a brick shit house aye.
Goals
As an old dog at 50, whats his hastag # you young crew call it lol
Brick shithouses wish they were that solid! What an absolute silver fox lol
Awesome :)
Only thing that might top this is a compound turbo fed Barra.

only youtubers use power tools,craftsmen use hand tools

GREAT work guys!!
Bedford back in the shop means Herbert will be back as TA and Van lurker!
Wow, I am so out of my competence zone with this, Robbie taught me something new almost every time he spoke !
And that engine is GOOOORGEOUS
Never knew they sold them as Bedfords outside the UK. Thats sick!!

All scrapped..casting plant is now just a block of land
And people wonder why it costs so much to build an engine properly. His hourly rate includes the 20-30 years of experience. Great work fellas!
I think the invoicing goes like this:
Tightening the bolts: $30
Knowing how and how far to tighten them: $500
Plainly ridiculous...very well done, the world needs far more crazy stuff these days.
Nailing it again :-)
Robbie is a champion!!
Always interesting seeing true masters show off their craft, going to be a screamer i reckon :)
Robbie is as sane and sensible as Milsy isn't. That seems like the right way around.
Brilliant video guys!
