Took my £5000 Cosworth YB Engine to a Professional Engine Builder

[@Adam151082]

Huge thanks to Gordon from Engine Services for letting me video inside his workshop. I really enjoyed watching him work fellas 😊👍🏼

[@Mark-gj8js]

That is one knowledgeable guy right there

[@fredastair3338]

Properly interesting that one Adam . Just my opinion my friend but I'd say 400 450 tops mate is a lot you know for a rear wheel drive cozzie ya knas Adam , ya talking 175 + mph and getting that much power down will be tricky ya don't Wana write it off do ya lmao . 4-450 is enough to frighten yasel ma mate I know haha , and enough to see most fast cars off too.

[@Mike_5]

Old school people who know what they are talking about (Both of you!)

[@craiglemon5026]

Yep, me too! Very interesting and informative! 👍 Nice collection of old skool calendars too! 😂

[@JohnHonda101]

A propa gadge doing a propa job.

[@gw9568]

This is a master class from Gordon what a knowledgeable modest gentleman,they just don’t make them like that anymore 👌

[@gwylio]

No it's not.

[@mrbeancounter90]

Gordon is like a Jedi master of engine blocks.

[@neilt7145]

Gordon is a proper Engineer, very rare breed these days.

[@DavidVizard]

Hi everybody, David Vizard here. I enjoyed this video which showed a lot of useful stuff for resurrecting a YB Cosworth. During 1989 I was a consultant engineer to Mountune Racing Engines and Kent Cams. Built several of these engines for production saloons which culminated in a 277 hp build that ran just under standard boost and utilized all standard parts and just ran away from the competition. It outpower the typical (and winning) Mountune motors which at 244 hp outpowered everyone else's. If any of you want to learn advanced engine building then you will definity want to check out 'PowerTec 10' on KZbin. You won't be disappointed as this channel reveal speed secrets that are sometimes not even know by the worlds top engine builders and designer. DV

[@mark4lev]

The word ‘legend’ doesn’t do you justice David. I spent hundreds of hours reading your articles in ‘car @ car conversions’ . Also HT racing were very good with pintos, they were in ‘fast car’ magazine a lot in the early 90’s

[@GB-vn1tf]

I've always liked watching a man that knows what he's doing working with confidence in his knowledge in front of his customer and able to explain precisely what and why he's doing. Most guys don't like being watched by the customer but doing it in front of a camera is confidence, I think you'll be happy with the results of his work. 👍

[@w3dal]

Fecking legend. Doesn’t need any extra work. Just loves working on cosworth’s

[@RatchetMonkey]

Thumbs up to Gordon for letting you in and going through it all and allowing us to come along for the experience. All bang on info.

[@JohnAmbler-1953]

Wow that guy knows his onions such knowledge is only gained with time and experience!!

[@bignbuilds3209]

True craftsman at work .. and the satisfying noise of the micrometer is pure precision . well done that man 😁

[@liammudie8471]

All the right questions asked, worth his weight in gold that bloke. Toppa vid mate

[@justinwinslade9401]

Could watch guys like this for hours. Used to love going round a old boy’s workshop I knew who was just the same and would make anything from scratch after mugging over it with a cuppa tea first.

[@1978JonBullock]

Gordon is a walking Cosworth engine encyclopaedia. You're in safe hands there.

[@carlbayley9053]

Im from newcastle, this bloke knows his shit, best video in a long time for me

[@michaelhall549]

Brilliant bloke, he sorted a Rover v8 for me many years ago! top job....

[@nickacelvn]

A breath of fresh air to see a master at work.

[@bikecam911]

Learn a proffesion kids! You will never work. What a Pro! I subscribe, keep them coming! Thanks

[@VeX-hr8yr]

Gordon is a true gent looking forward to watching the progress

[@bobfugazy4916]

More Gordon! He's a pro. Thanks for the video.

[@kevinkatz7027]

The worst thing you can do is machine work when it's not needed... This guy is spot on...

[@83craigshag]

Dude knows his stuff

[@Rockape501]

Gordon is a legend. A master of his craft

[@typhoon2827]

Aside from the total engine mastery in this video, it's an absolute delight to hear the English language be spoken as it should.

[@JohnWicksdogwalker]

Well that 45 minutes went by in the blink of an eye! A thoroughly enjoyable watch 👍 It was that compelling that when I read other people's comments about calendars, I thought 'Calendars?, what calendars...?!' 🙄

[@chrisblay]

Used to take heads for skimming and blocks round to a very similar engineering workshop years ago. Not so many of them around nowadays. This really reminds me of the old ways things were done and it’s great to see a master of his craft at work.

[@ianward1457]

What a fantastic engineer Gordon is. Men like him are a dying breed & should be enjoyed while there here. A true craftsman. Fantastic work brother. Looking forward to part two Adam 👍

[@azbokingz5574]

Wealth of experience this is the kind of guy you want rebuilding your engine, true engineer was pleasure watching him never seen this side of a build before in such detail. Good stuff great content

I'm not a mechanic but I enjoyed this. Explanations were complete and clear.

Brilliant to see a man who knows his trade!

[@therealpaddy4687]

One of your best videos that nan knows his stuff.

[@matthewdoherty6179]

Love this. Nothing like watching a proper mechanic at work and especially on a cossie engine

[@rageracing5614]

Cracking video this, great to know there’s a resource like this in the north east.

[@roberttaylor3652]

Result Defo took it to the right guy

[@Omnihil777]

Damn, when this craftsman goes into retirement, all this knowledge, all this experience, will be lost, like tears in the rain (to quote Roy from "Blade Runner")

[@M.M.M.81]

Gordon’s knowledge is next level top bloke

[@tonygriffiths2485]

That was wonderful to watch, that guy (Gordon) is an artist.

[@anthonystevens403]

BEAUTIFUL WORK Adam again, from Australia

[@Braddaz-ke5jz]

Much better than the Linford videos. Gordon is the real deal and did a fantastic job on my engine 👌🏼

[@stevenconnor4221]

Superb. Ex manual machinist tech here to.. superb timing I was trying to say to a few younger techs they need to learn imperial I got the scolded look 😂 From them, it's no hard I had to learn it. Born in the year of decimalisation. To be honest machining in imperial size down to a thou or grinding to tenths of thou is much better than the metric equivalent.

[@homer1033]

its great to see this type of workmanship still in action so cracking job being done by Gordon fair play to him. Its been great to watch and can't wait to see the rebuild of the glorious Cosworth Engine.

[@paulriggers1558]

proper old school engineer, with a proper set of calendars on the wall, good man

[@imapadlock]

This guy has integrity! Not doing it for the KZbin just because he loves it 👍👌

[@jamesarmitage8399]

A true master @ engines...shows he's a proper old school in his work ethics etc

[@thespectator2976]

True master in action :)

[@angleruk3190]

This video taught me I know absolutely nothing about engines 😅 big respect to this guy you don't learn that stuff overnight , amazing work !

[@alro2434]

Like his special short handled ball-pien with the anti-shock/anti-vibration handle @ 23:37 for removing cam drive pulleys!!! Also, looks like no half-moons on the back of that head for the cam's bore, so only really special special, if any, line boring for this one. Also, also, it's a really nice valve spring compressor, so probably has a good spring checker too, but didn't let on!

[@tomupchurch4911]

The fact that it built up that much dirt on the outside before ever being opened up is a testament to Cosworth excellence.

[@bigeein]

Probably one of the best videos you have done

[@ramalama9650]

My God, how you videos have jumped up in production. Video editing and quality, true craftsmen and experts being brought in to help you along the way. This is really top notch stuff! Thankfully, none of that nonsense, irritating child music in the background anymore. You're flying Adam, a real pleasure to watch!

Good video Adam, Gordon certainly knows his onions!

What a pleasure to watch a Master Mechanic at work - so impressive!

You must have been in your element there Adam, nothing better than watching a hands on engineer at work.

[@gtisid]

love these type of shops, our local guy died a couple of years back who i have used for 30 plus years . their experience cannot be replaced and to have one show you is a privilege. its mad the cost of engines most of it is time and if you want it done right it takes time which equals money . buy the right parts and your engine will be good , cut corners and you will pay for your bad judgement

Wow, great insight to the strip down. Gordon certainly knows his stuff. cheeRS Adam
