Fantastic video I’ve now got my mate watching your channel after chatting while watching the racing at Combe on Monday I was singing your praises keep them rolling in
Love these geeky technical videos Ricky as you are revealing so many details that most of the people (even "specialists") have no clue about and the very few that know about these details either keep them a "secret" or cannot explain what is going on in simply terms! Keep up the awesome job mate!
Ricky, the systems you have available, to get the very best builds done, is incredible. They say, you get what you pay for, and clearly the R8, McLaren and Lamborghini owners of this world, are getting a service better than most main dealers I’d say. Looking forward to the full rebuild series too now. 👍🏻
Yet again another great video. What's really impressive is the attention to detail and the investment into tooling I would say not much change out of £1,800.00 for that particular tool. However, like you said Ricky you will have the means to Q&A from your side, which I gather is imperative when you consider engine rebuilds/labour/parts etc. Keep the videos coming and looking forward to the next update.👍👍
The mitutoyo SJ-210 is an awesome tool. I think it cost me $4200AUD for mine and it works great. The fat manual makes it look more complex then it actually it. Once you go through the initial setup and calibration using the test piece you really don't have to constantly change settings so its as simple as turn it on and press start.
If you want bore accuracy to measure, size, ovality, low spots etc consider Federal or Mercer airbox & gauges. Pickup second hand on Internet for reasonable price. Far better than a digital dial bore due to consistent with airflow gap & being analogue, the touch & feel of engineering.
The new tool user manual needs binning….My mrs will be able to advise you. As she once told our 2 young boys who were pondering on the complexities of space flight and how the space shuttle reached orbit and came back down to earth, she offered this priceless insight ……. “They press buttons and stuff”🤪
Slowly taking over as my favourite YT channel 👍👍 loving the in-depth technical shit 👌. What’s the grand plan with the bore testing Ricky? To start to do you own machining of bores and be able to compare and contrast performance or just check up on the work quality of others before accepting them?
I use those surface testers at work , easy once you’ve used it a few times. Always calibrate it on test piece before use to make sure stylus isn’t damaged. The stylus breaks so easily and aren’t cheap.
Love your videos, do you ever measure crank end float, is a fully high grade synthetic oil good settling in a new engine. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Love this video! The quality of production and the attention to detail is fab! I would love to see the Ferrari come together given its issues! Stunning car indeed
Quality video as per usual from Ricky and the crew 👌🏼 Loved the cross hatch/surface finish part, always learning 👏🏼😊 #WhiteBoardWednesdays coming soon 😂😂
Beat me to it! We had a calibration room for all the mikes, verniers etc when I was an apprentice in '82, temp controlled but not much behaviour control.
I'm very impressed / surprised you guys just got something to measure surface finishes. Thought they were normally used for head gasket surfaces in a very few select machine shops, but using it for bore finishes is probably more important
Once your surftronic is all set up/calibrated there are easy to use and don`t need much attention after that. just keep an eye on it using your gauge when ever you set it up. Great bit of kit. Also try to calibrate it at the hight that you will be using it. Don't calibrate it and then start moving the arm or that can give you an issue. Not so easy for round parts. Great bit of kit 👍👍👍👍 Used on every day for about 25 years just expensive and keep the apprentice away from it 😂😂 Be good to see the cross hatch cam being used we done it by eye but as a manufacturing engineer you just get used to what looks and feels right. Been ok for every thing we done, Le mans/F1 cars. They would of had a fit if they saw us putting valve steams/seats in with a guide and a big lump hammer 💀💀
Very interesting video, the "Mitsoyoyo" surface analyser is great for "as built", but surely the honing wears away quickly and the measurements you've made are immaterial! The measurements are accurate and repeatable but wear will nullify the efforts put into the metrology Thoughts?
Surly with your yoda skills you could run your finger down it make a funny noise then spit out the measurement mind blown with level off detail u guys go i to 🤙🤙
I doubt I could ever afford to, but if I had to get my DAZA overhauled, I absolutely wouldn't want to go anywhere else. These videos exemplify the difference between proper engineering and ... everything else. I work in software engineering, and the attitude towards measured outcomes here is better than most approaches in my industry!
Used an older version of the tool for measuring surface finish on special pipe flanges in the oil and gas industry. Compact flanges if anyone knows what that is.. useful tool!
Who builds the engine, yourself or one of the other guy's or do multiple ppl build? Also same question about the dyno & how much dyno work do u do? 🤔 👍
You say "on a V10 refresh...", what is the reason for carrying that out in the first place ? I thought these engines were pretty bulletproof, so I assume it`s because of a failure rather than a complete strip and rebuild just because they hit xxx miles ? I`m genuinely interested, the way you said it was as if it`s common, which as a prospective owner, concerns me.
I would love to know if you pay yourself a wage or just give it straight to the snap on man and measuring equipment company. Keep up the great video's Ricky
Who else watches these videos with absolute concentration, desperately trying to pick out the slightest thing you understand? Just so you can con yourself into thinking you know something on the insane level Ricky does? Unless of course, your watching in the presence of others….in which case you sit nodding in agreement, silently praying your not asked what your watching or what they’re doing 😅
Kind of kidding but the episode where you went into the intricacies of race setup was fascinating and truly mind blowing. Want more. Could never do it myself but in awe of people that do 👍
Like the Mat Armstrong seal tips👍👍👍
Got to love a new tool Tuesday 👍
Love the block metrology. 😎
OMG!! Words fail me. This is incredible :)
Thank you for watching!
Rick you are very good at explaining…top drawer
Fantastic video I’ve now got my mate watching your channel after chatting while watching the racing at Combe on Monday I was singing your praises keep them rolling in
Thank you 😊
love you guys,great vid as always.keep them coming .thanks
Thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoy them 👍🏼
Love this content, didn’t know that about the crosshatching being a trade off between compression and oil runoff 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Press like before I’ve watched it ! 😎
U need to watch it brother, come on now!😮🙈🤔🦾
Everyday is a school day 👍🏻
Never knew the purpose of cross hatch
Love the tech content, you’re a natural teacher 👍🏻
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Great video gents and rekindle's the engineer in me! Cheers, Kevin

Definitely a smart wee bollox!! Fair play. N Ireland very short on this kind of attention to detail from engine builders.
Used them all time in my job CNC Machinist Most OEMs and ring manufacturers specify a surface finish of 15 to 25 RA cheers Rikki.
I remember the seat ibiza 2.0 16v in kiwi yellow, with white wheels ,nice cars:)

The "Mat Armstrong seals" 😂😂😂😂😂
Matt Armstrong O rings ; ))

How does your insurer feel about x10 r8s in your carpark
Proper tool geek love it mate, would be good to see some s4/s5 stuff
It's a ISO standard datum for calibration to remove the instruments in built noise from the measurements.

Getting towards a temperature controlled room with all the measuring equipment mate

Cool tool.
That was my question...do you actually have any control over the surface finish you end up with?
Love your videos, do you ever measure crank end float, is a fully high grade synthetic oil good settling in a new engine. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

just quick question , willyou speck what honing you req depending on the engine aplication Ie race or road ? why motec and not syvecs ?
Another great video ! 2 questions… are you temperature controlling the room and have you considered looking at a class 1 surface table?
Beat me to it! We had a calibration room for all the mikes, verniers etc when I was an apprentice in '82, temp controlled but not much behaviour control.

Looks like you need a bigger premises mate
Profileometer is very swish. Have you seen Total Seals new tool?
Ibiza was same engine as mk3 gti 16v and corrado 2.0 16v 👌 Mk2 golf was a KR
Didn't the Corrado have the 9a engine? It was the 9a that fitted better in the Mk2 Golf due to the lower height. Taking me back a few years now.......
@@matthewdrew9370 Think your right, the passat maybe have the abf as well?
@@g_aln6658 not sure. I thought that had the 9a too but might be wrong.
Good knowledge mate!! 🙌🏼 I just know it’s the ABF engine! 😂
@@REPerformanceUK Your best bet will be a mk3 golf 16v 👌
Surly with your yoda skills you could run your finger down it make a funny noise then spit out the measurement mind blown with level off detail u guys go i to 🤙🤙
You can do a video on my golf Ricky 😜

Another great video and made even better by being referred to as 'young. 😄
More about those RS6's

It’s a GT3 race engine.

garage life be like,half finished cars every were
Love your chanel and content but you are looking tired Ricky take it easy mate
If you can’t measure it you can’t improve it
Would you like to buy a car that's more rare than anything in your shop ?
I’m listening!! Lol
@@REPerformanceUK Alpina B3biturbo 274 made and one of only 50 right hand drive made.
Loosing all the cars and just doing bikes???
No I have a workshop and car park full of cars.. 😉
You’d fit a lot more bikes in the car park @@REPerformanceUK
