- Well guys I start the week off with a horrible job that you may want to see being done. Also, we get a supposed engine rebuild in that’s just blown up after 500 miles, this company should be taken to court over this!
As a lifetime engineer, buy some Cobalt Drills and end mills. Drill a piece of 12 mill bar to braze a eight mil end mill in to true the hole up first. Use Rocol cutting grease not WD40, which is not a cutting oil. Just trying to help!
Spot on m8.
Or just buy a spark eroder and save all that hassle - will also remove broken drills & taps.
dont think Lee is using wd40 its more like worth broaching oil.
Yes the end mill braised to a length of drill rod is the best solution and use tapping fluid not oil!
@@KiddoDuke What! Spend all that money just for very occasional use ? I don’t think that’s a good financial decision personally 🤗. Bob M.
What I have is a long centre drill, about 6" long ... and I turned up a few sleeves, 6mm hole in the middle, various diameters I can drop into holes to act as guides ...
Snap-on tool makes a kit of drill bit centering sleeves. I found them to work great for broken bolts deep in. Bobcat had issues with broken bolts for engine to pump brackets. Horizontal & very hard to center for drilling.
Hi both, i'm a retired toolmaker, now 71 about the same age as 'Uncle John', and I still flinch hearing that horrible noise when drilling something really tough. You do a great job and I enjoy your machining videos, as well as the rest of course, I laugh when you mention 'Heath Robinson' methods to Isaac. Don't worry Isaac if you don't know who he was as help is on its way😆🤔. Best wishes, Bob M, South Wales
Also retired machinist and the sound of the drill was making me cringe also. I think that sound will always haunt us forever. 🤔🐯

There’s all sorts out there, and they give the good folk a bad name.
I’d done the last service on my parents van, but the next time they needed it done I was away. They went to a “reputable” shop to have it serviced, and they convinced them that they needed a new air filter. I’d just installed a brand new K&N the last time. When I got home, I went back to the shop to find out what happened. Wouldn’t you know it, the shop manager who was decidedly unhelpful, had the same van my parents had. He was quite insulted when I asked him to show me his air filter, and got really pissed and threatened to call the cops.
Life time engineer, think your process is correct. But buy some rocol cutting compound. Should stop that chattering.
Please, please use Rocol cutting fluid as my fellow engineers are saying, a spray lubricant just won't "cut it" (no pun intended!!).
I would use an end mill to true up a hole as long as the hole is bigger than the core of the end mill, slot drills are more robust but have less cutting edges, that stud sounds hard rather than "tough" as it should be.
If you read the decriptions for these van engines, they actually say "re-built" not reconditioned and rebuilt they have been, what they seem to do is dismantle loads of failed engines (plenty about) and select all the "best" bits to build a working engine, buyer beware!
I am afraid you boys are stuck in the past with drills and end mills. In the 1970s I was acting inspector for a small engineering company in Essex. Yes they used a drill on a very hard casting. Even with a centre drill the holes were out of position. Ironically they possessed a machine that could have machined the holes in the correct position. They couldn’t believe when I showed them how it could be done and that was to use their spark eroding machine with suitable electrodes. Lee hasn’t got one but I would have sub-contracted that job and changed the customer.
My mate just got his 71reg Custom with 28k back from dealer after a new engine , he was half way home ( 50 miles) and discovered air con wasn't working. Oh our machine wasnt working. That was after discovering they had knocked the front valance / skirt off . He didnt however notice they had also damaged the wing and painted it and said nothing. They never got him a replacement 5 seat courtesy vehicle but said they would make him a payment in recompense, it looks like its 25 quid a day !!
He now has a Ford case officer on the job so we will see what happens.
Ps he has a new one on order for next month. At the moment
Nice bit of drilling out the broken stud 👏
EXACTLY what I was taught as an RAF aircraft apprentice in 1953-56
Great job guys on all the Figaro work!! The work you do for us is amazing, hopefully no more snapped bolts for a while 😬😬
Left hand cobalt drill bits ;) when they bite into the snapped stud the threads release and rotate out themselves
A neighbour wanted me to drill out a few broken screws so I asked him to get me some left hand drills and told him why, he called a local engineering company to find out if they sold them, the guy thought he was taking the piss but understood when it was explained to him so he learned something that day but they didn't sell them but suggested another local company that might. When my neighbour contacted them they did stock a limited range for drilling out common thread sizes and when used half the screws backed out but the rest had to be drilled through as they were loctited in, a thread insert was then installed.
Theres a few people on Facebook transit groups that buy knackered engines then claim that they can supply recon transit engines for 1500 quid like you said.. all they are doing is making engines from about 3 knackered ones and a tube of silicone
You don't drill your misses dry! Why the hell are you drilling the block dry 😂😂
like to see a visit to a parts store to see what all they sell there to consumers, or are they all just a counter service setup. Kinda fun to go in and ask that new hire for rad hose for a Bug or a Tesla muffler clamp
Absolutely great channel, love the mix of technical information, business and banter. Unfortunately I have a defender with a 2.2 engine, so I’m constantly listening for unusual noises. So I’m really interested in how you rebuild these engines and if you can make them more reliable. Cheers both.
Craig's List rebuild as they call it in the States
Start to WANder not WONder . lol. cheers Don
Rococo that’s a blast from the past
Some tips from an engineer . . . lube that damn drill up, use anything BUT wd40!! even used engine oil would have been better. flood the cutting edges if possible. Chisel point drills don't give you a good centre, the 5.5mm drill will have definitely wandered when it hit the flat point left by 12mm drill bit. you want to use cobalt split point drill bits . . . And run a stone down the sharp edge of the flute of the 12mm drill to take the edge off if you're going to use it as a pilot down a bore Otherwise its less than a five minute job to make up a a nice fitting guide bushor they can be bought for a couple quid . loving your work. peace
just got to the end of the video and the bit of stud that came out the bottom shows you just how far drill wandered off centre !! You'll never get it perfect but that was a lot
Did notice that can of Wurth lubricant follows Lee about the shop ;-)
Nice video, guys. love anything to do with machining, especially all the YB cosworth stuff 👍👍👍
Just spent all Sunday and Monday morning on my back in a field under my partially disassembled van trying to drill out 2x sheared off bolts out of the chassis that hold the radiator to the vehicle. Both drilled through but one wondered and I'm still exhausted. If only I could have flipped it over LoL!
SLOW THE BLOOOODY DRILL SPEED DOWN MAN
We had the pleasure of spark erode spot on every time
You could also use a centre drill that normaly is used at the lathe they come in different sizes the shank would act as a guide
Great video, nice job on that stud!!!
Too good to be true it is! If it isnt a professional business you’ll get an unprofessional job! People are so scared of being ripped off, theyre a cowboys dream!
Lots of advice from "Lifetime engineers"! Do what works for you, it works!
An End mill is for maching the ends of materials the clue is in the name a Slot drill is for plunging down
and how many times have you told them new injectors and get the turbo checked whilest it's all apart. 😂
Buy cheap, Buy twice. Another one to watch is when they say a "Rebuilt" engine, dont assume it has been reconditioned. Some not so nice people will strip them down, clean and rebuild the engine.
Morning Lee, I'm also busy repairing a 2.2 Transit ( Tourneo In South Africa), don't you guys want to do a comprehensive set of videos doing this engine overhaul please? Here in South Africa they just fuck it up, excuse the language, and i want to rebuild this engine on my own.
Would spark erosion be a better way?
Lee, I just had a thought, wouldn't a transfer punch that fits the upper part of the hole give you a good center mark to start your drills. Crack on McDude.👍👍
Broken studs, Left handed drill bits! Say no more
Drilling those studs .
Why not disigning a center drill with an slide fitting in those holes.
Call a speciallist tell him the size and tell them it need to be a center drill.
Do u not use thread lock when doing helicoils?
I do, but let it set then run a tap through to clean any residue off but it's not really necessary just overkill
Use " soluble oil" that will keep your drill tip cooler than WD40.
Even plain water is better, keep cool and stop the bit from expanding in the hole being drilled.
I know a Ford 3.7 v6 Timing components and water pump are 1500 plus for parts alone.. Ford are not cheap to rebuild.
I used to go out to engines that had a break cleaner service, I.E the filters and drain plug were cleaned with break cleaner to make it look like it had been serviced.
Looks like you are using hss drills there use plated drills (knife tthou buttrer) and your problem solved a bit dearer but well worth it mate peace out
Great contents
Honest to god long blocks from ford are reasonable for some of those turbo jobies.
we call them Dulux rebuild
rocol cutting oil needed imo
buy cheap buy twice
Life complete 1st at last
chinesium pistons?
👍👍
Hi I hope you read this did you ever get the valve grinding equipment that you sent to lektronix fixed I know they sent it back worse than when you sent it in I saw the unit waiting to be repaired I have mechanical background not just electronics and I thought why the hell as an electronics company agreed to repair that the engineer that looked at it I.E. tried to repair it didn't even know what it was or what it's for ??
The company gave up and sent it back in bits.
Buy cheap Buy twice ?
WAS A PARKY REBUILD , LOL
Jag racer clown 😅
👍💪👋🏻🤙🫡👏
