Have you had uprated Lightning Motorsport Tentioner installed and how different was the procedure?

Hey, originally came to find out how the timing belt is done on these, but i cant help notice those 2 songs you had playing while cleaning the engine and assembling the oil pan. I cant seem to find, not even with shazam, would you please tell me what pieces they are? Very much appreciated!

Can you tell me where we can get a new crankshaft damper pulley? Nice Video!

Hi maybe its to late but what are the torque specs and torque procedure on the oil pan? I have the manual but i cant understand it correctly. The first part that goes in the engine block has two torque specs and a bunch of arrows pointing 3 bolts. I must torque this 3 bolts at 40nm and the others at 20nm?

Is this a strong gearbox

Hello, i just bought a 2002 mk1 focus with 1.8 zetec-e engine, the car was sitting since 2019 and i have a grinding noise in first gear, it goes nice into all gears, a bit stiff clutch and shifting gears but i presume is normal after so many years not been driven, regards.

hi did you drain down the vct pulley herd they can move after doing 720

Afternoon bud, can i pick your brain? As i took the belt off the intake cam seemed to spring round and i can grab it and rotate it backwards. Is this normal or is the vtc gear dead? Autodata had no mention of anything to do with the vtc gear, it also mentioned nothing to do with not pulling the tensioning pin all the way out but here we are 😂🤦‍♂️ Very helpful video though Cheers

What was the tool you used on the crank pulley before you buzzed it off with the impact? Currently struggling to get mine off

Am I the first one to spot the Puma in the background gets a respray half way through? :D

What sort of cost would this be?

I followed every single step of your video in the cambelt change and now the car starts but runs so bad(no power an bad reaction of the car at half throthle). It's the timing position or is other thing? I have disconnected the velocity sensor of the gearbox.

Вой в движении при нагрузки ford c max 1.8 мкпп ib5 поменяли все подшибники, а вой так и не пропал, вой на всех передачах бросаешь газ на передачи вой пропадает

Where are you based, hard to find any trust worthy gearbox technicians. Need someone to swap my final drive on an IB5 box

Very nice 👌 and x pireans super

Nikasil linings FCKD after 100,000 miles. This is engine is the best example of planned obsolescence in manufacturing I have ever seen

sound clips of each system would be great and would probably help sales of these.

My mechanic said the gearbox is sealed and the gearbox oil can't be changed.Is he wrong?(Puma 1.7 Y reg)

Did you change any of the bearings? They become noisy on higher mileage cars?

I got what looks like black vhs tape coming out of the exhaust,is that the muffler material ? Its not any louder and the Puma passed the M.O.T a few weeks ago.

How did you do that with the yellow bolts? Is that new ore refresh?

Hello Sir, where can I get one of that for my little Puma? Thanks for sharing! Always learning from you

Science with hammers, my kind of science

After watching you at work, I have decided it is well worth the effort for me to bring my Puma to you, I cant wait to have you work your magic on my 1.7, sadly not a Racing though !

Great Allison, the frp was the best 2000 racing car in the world, few considerate in Italy ...

when the belt breaks, the valve bends ??

при обрыве ремня клапана гнёт??

lovely yamaha engine, good job! ford should have used this engine more

I bought one of these systems for my standard 1.7 Puma, fits great and sounds good too!

Excellent work presented on multiple levels of awareness, a pleasure to watch such attention to detail and experiential knowledge applied with wisdom. changing Highly appreciated . Is there an approx manhours it took ? also parts price approx bearing in mind peoples workrate and prices always varying

hi i have a 1.6 103cv , that vct intake fits on 1.6 engine??

'How can it still have the same clutch on it'? 'Err, they didn't let their mum drive it'?

Hats off!!

Very good service and very good Ford engine as well. My opinion is since you've got so far deep in this service it would be great if you change the pistons rings as well.

Very nice engine service and maintenance, in a vary good and smooth Ford engine. Nice to see that video.

That's really nicely made - and I love your commitment to the original. The spring bolts were an absolutely stupid idea and defied all logic, unless you have a thing about destroying brain cells from carbon monoxide poisoning. A flexi makes far, far more sense. But... The headers now in stainless (again, sanity prevails) is common sense. It should once properly fitted will certainly outlast the life of the car. If only you'd put the flexi in a position were it could be replaced should it fail. Maybe you want to pick up all the requests to remove the drive shafts, engine mounts and virtually remove the engine to drop the headers, then find someone good enough to weld in a new flexi (or both) and do the same in reverse. Nearly a day's work or more. Because no other mechanic would entertain that job! I had a similar looking headers fitted but the flexi is after the main flange on the cat-back mid-pipe, not the header, where it can be easily replaced in around half an hour, only requires one flexi, minimal stripping and doesn't involve a second mortgage to pay for the work to be done locally. A final thing to note about engine mounts which will reinforce (no pun) my point. As you know, Ford produced two mounting styles for the gearbox mount. 1014899 and 1095420. There were therefore two gearchange lever housings - 1085346 and 1088248. The earlier style was the Fiesta mount. That used two threaded bolts inserted from the top of the gearchange lever housing that were threaded into the cast bar through the middle of the rubber of the mount. Later cars used a mount with clearance holes with a mount secured with nuts onto studs that pointed upwards from the gearchange lever housing. Now, the only mount is the Bilstein mount which although it carries the later part number, is the older Fiesta mount with threaded, bolt down holes. So, anyone with a 99-2001 car is stuffed. They can't get the new-style mount. Sure, you can drill out the tapped holes, but the resulting engine height will be wrong as the mount is not the same. The end result being that the mount will simply not get changed. So that excessive movement will allow excess engine rocking, vibration and a woolly gear-change when driving hard or on rally-style sections. And that is why, putting the flexi's on the headers is a bad idea and will lead to broken cars!

Looks good mate!

Wow, Someone can show me the way to get break disk rear converted for classic puma, Thanks in advance !

Sorry for my french, your full exhaust u show is very beautiful , from the 1.7 (125cv classic puma) how many pure gain can obtain ? chears

I own a Puma 1.4 '99. Love here. Thanks for your videos.

Great info about clips!

Whg the hell would use a fiesta st150 clutch to get ripped off when its actually a focus 1.8 clutch and alot cheaper 🤦‍♂️

Hi I have a replacement engine to go in my track car, it’s only done 48k miles do you take on work if so would love to have mine serviced the same and new set cams installed 👍🏻

Nice to see someone who understands about the tensioner pin on these engines most garages have no clue

It's a shame that the tin worm has finished most of these cars off I had 2 of them a black and a magnum grey thunder both had rotten rear arches and rear inner sill but that will happen if you line the arches with carpet

Hi I have the same engine been working on it but, the timing is giving me a really hard time. I would be very thankful if you can help me out.

Nice! Good work! 👊🏼 Checkout my channel when you get a chance! Thanks! I subbed!

Hi, great videos and thank you for sharing your wisdome. I wonder if you can help with locating replacement conrod bolts for 1.7 Racing Puma? Any pointers or supply would be much appreciated.

Hello, I have changed the crankshaft oil seal twice now and it still leaks, is there any special way of doing this? Or what else could cause it to make it leak, also how far does the seal fit in? Really at my wits end with this but love the car please help, Thanks

Great video Chris! :)
