Can WD40 fix my Cosworth Misfire? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Haroosh20]

Go and treat the old girl to some brand new plugs. She's worth it :-)

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

Did anyone else think that the plugs were going in the dishwasher then in the oven ?

[@1saabie]

Same lol

[@SaucyBegger25]

yep haha

[@webb-1]

I was expecting them to go in the dishwasher

[@css172]

5:25 "Why does dinner taste of WD40, oil, petrol and carbon deposits" Adam "I dunno pet" lolol

[@pauljeffries]

🤣

[@snoopydogg1]

🤣🤪😂

[@jeffc3676]

Hi Adam love the channel, my dad taught me an old trick just using a cigarette lighter to burn the oil off the spark plugs might be easier than the oven and less chance of getting into trouble with her indoors.. Cheers.

[@josephkey1514]

Hi adam, great vids as always 😀, i have a triumph TR6 with a cosworth YB engine fitted. Great car and great storey behind it. It was built by the late Terry Drury of TDR essex in the early 90’s. Just over 300bhp. Would you be interested in doing a video? I havnt got instagram which is why im messaging on here. Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@mroldschool609]

What is tdr? Where were they based in Essex ?

[@josephkey1514]

@@mroldschool609 Terry Drury Racing - i believe they were based in rainham essex and then moved to another part of essex, search ford transit supernvan in youtube he built the first one with the ford gt40 engine in it 👍

[@seanadams8504]

Hi Joseph I run a group on Facebook Rs cosworth powered cars and vans would be great to put your car on the group if your interested.

[@kev9386]

So its 15 minutes at gas mark 5 turning halfway through until well done 😂👍

[@barrymcfarland6533]

Can't beat old school fords especially cosworth always put a smile on ya face when you give em some welly

[@noizyneighbour5790]

I have what may be considered an unorthodox way of repairing things like your broken key. I use it on glasses frames and I even put back the broken piece of the honeycomb grille on my Mini the same way. I drill a 2mm hole either side of the break, then I use a fine sewing needle and nylon button thread to essentially "sew" the two edges together. Once there are half a dozen or so passes over the break I knot it off then cover the thread in superglue. Its strong and other areas normally break again before the repair does! 😀

[@CYMRU619]

I bet a tune and some new plugs would stop it happening again. The fuelling is probably off (too rich at top end?) and fouling the plugs.

[@paulforrester4057]

Running it up in the garage and leaving it too idle is probably fouling them up. Your right a new set and tune up will probably help

[@simondarrie666]

And they say us Scots are the tight ones , you just cooked your spark plugs to score a extra 200miles , 😂😂❤

[@paulforrester4057]

Check your rotor arm and dizzy cap too. Clean or replace them if it’s been a long time

[@CrypticSquirrel]

Adam, I've got a great idea for your KZbin ad revenue! Buy new spark plugs 🤷‍♂️

[@Bladerunner4511]

Great video Adam what ive seen on youtube was a guy using a gas blow tourch he heats the plugs up to red hot then let then cool down and something i used to do all the time was to wire brush my plugs which apparently is very bad for them as it leaves deposits on the plugs plus using a blow lamp means your next roast dinner wont taste of WD40 lol love your videos mate your a top bloke that cossie is lush all the best mate

[@redsidebiker]

Adam, the trick with the plugs is to use a decent blow torch, you can direct the heat better and you don't overheat the plugs (so its quicker and easier on your kitchen). Also check your dizzy if its been stood since last year, and the wastegate. Just my opinion.

[@busydoingstuff2155]

Drill a small hole in the plastic part of your key to thread the metal ring through. I always have same issue with glazed plugs as well. Used to take plugs out or have a spare set ready to go in those cases. Would media blast the tips usually.

[@mcallister8893]

Putting sparkplug in the oven is so dangerous 😳 just imagine if Amy came home and caught you, there would be he'll to pay 😅

[@wombatsyoutube]

Your lass must never see thjs video Adam! She'll know anyway, they always know! 😀😀😀

[@davidruddick3346]

Look out Masterchef😄

[@xsduprwd3937]

Mine used to do that, just gap them down to .6, the ignition system is a bit weak in the old girl and the boost blows out the spark.

[@andysaphcozi8619]

Just had the Scarborough warning off our lass to not put my spark plugs in the oven... Lol.. 😁😂.. Great video pal, and good top tip.. 😉. Glad it's running right again.. 👍

[@gilomoto5148]

As for the key heat it up with something like a soldering iron and melt it back together 😁👍🏻

[@ManilvaRS]

You can still get those old Ford tibb keys made. I was a locksmith before I moved abroad and made hundreds of them in my time. Can put you in touch with someone if you like.

[@sicknick6664]

Look for new old stock on ebay, might be a key or lock code. I got one for my scirocco

[@davidmoir4326]

That grin followed by “get in there son” was funny as fook!! You were like a bairn in a sweetie shop when the boost came on....magic!

[@martinmeaney340]

You can get black plastic repair resin and is stupid strong just a bit like you would use supergkue and wipe excess and tape till dry and is sandable if u get carried away

[@jondrizzle4554]

You tried phase sensor in dizzy pal ?

[@jt6945]

Beltin stuff pal, brings back good memories, i had one of those and a sapphire from '96 - 2001. was as clean as yours (but not underneath) and had same wheels but with gold centres and only 16"

[@SutyHD]

Bit plastic weld will sort ya key out?

[@al.f.8204]

Crackin’ video, the sound of the Sierra brings back happy memories. Thanks for the content, always a joy to watch, stay safe, Cheers 👍🏽🙂

[@chadderton]

Drill a small hole (about 2 or 3mm) in the corner of your car key and thread the split ring through it.

[@grahamfrench7003]

Adam You could try a couple of layers of heat shrink tubing. Or drill a new hole in the corner of the key and fit a split key ring.

[@fantasticplastic5336]

Could you heat the thob up with a soldering iron? You know semi melt it?

[@charlietungatt1836]

Would you trade the cossie for a white 4x4 cavalier?

[@rickydub6950]

Whatever gets you through man 😁

[@Andreweg1981]

I heard of people using the dishwasher to clean parts but spark plugs in the oven is next level thinking👌

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Back in the 90s I had a cosworth and it had a bad misfire out of the blue. I contacted Mark shead as we didn't have Internet back then. He said check the ht lead isn't close to the map sensor. Couldn't believe it was the fix. So I routed the ht lead as far as I could away from it and problem gone.

[@havingalook.]

The ht leads go down the middle hole of the inlet manifold, the map sensor is on the inner wing, also map sensor is vacuum fed?

[@colninja1570]

The look on your face when you set it away is great same look I have when I boost the st 😀👍

[@stevesmith7]

Mint! 👌Adam love the cosworth mate keep up the good work.

[@customcarsofthenorthwestha8929]

Another awesome video I love old fords think there ace would like to own one oneday if I could. My ultimate dream is a sapphire cossie but I know now I won’t be able to get one

[@badbooks476]

My grandad had a triumph vitesse in the 1970s, he used to put the 6 spark plugs on the cooker hob, Gran used to go mad, then put them back into the engine hot.

[@GTiR23]

Amy to her friends: "He was acting all shifty the other day, he wanted me out of the house for the afternoon, I bet he's got another bird on the go with all this KZbin fame he's got now....." Meanwhile, Adam: 5:21

[@LeeBondo]

Cool video, really enjoyed this one bro! You have a calming effect, your a natural. I also eat my little girls swets sometimes, if she finds out I blame it on her older twin brothers lol!

[@scoobyblue555.]

do the plugs on the scooby for lols

[@UHfishingshane]

Just add gravy to the ant bessies spark plugs and enjoy 😂👍

[@shanewaller2864]

Hi Adam ,that tool box of yours have a look At SGS toolboxes on ebay ,I bought a 15 draw 72 in tool box with butchers block top last year it was only 500 quid and its well mint 😉

[@markflyer]

I’ve got one of them too. Class thing

[@Thejoker-zg1gk]

Absolutely awesome that sound 👍🏻😜

[@mikedalt3622]

No Hampson auctions??

[@andrewswinglehurst8102]

What’s for tea tonight darling “ wd40 and mash” 😂

[@davidkelly3705]

Can’t beat that turbo noise 😍

[@robsmith7430]

Adam, ya big kid just love your videos 👍

[@NoName-gu9tf]

Thats one clean cossie Adam:)

[@keithhedley1392]

Cracking little video again 👍but I think I would just have bought some new ones 😂bet your tea tasted good that night

[@Jase73]

Lovely cosworth you’ve got there bud. Sounds mint. Love it. Can’t beat an old RS. cheeRS 👍

[@ascNo.1]

Mrs... What you been cooking for tea tonight? You .... Spark plugs with some nice WD40 gravy 😋 just when you think youve seen everything!!!! but it worked 👍

[@stevenmitchell7252]

It’s easy, I see a new video upload, I click play. He’s just a genuine car guy no bullish!t. 👌🏻

[@Charlie_D_Comedy]

Gorrila glue will sort it. i just use super glue for stuff like it just fit a tiny bit in the crack then paint a thin layer around the crack with a steady hand or vice its not bad but can make the key look messy maybe a dot of silicone on a tooth pick apart from that im out of ideas just hold it down for a few seconds with the glue

[@garyferrari1366]

Good luck with the planning permission

[@2smokers397]

That cossie looks so clean 😍.. how long have u owned it ?? I bet you are glad you kept it for so long ...

[@tabsh]

Apparently you can find this spark plug recipe in Delia's new Cookbook 😆 bloody delicious 😋

[@scottjohnson1740]

Now take it and get it tuned and up the boost a little 👌

[@jamesr8897]

Half day off work to get the spark plugs in the oven so the mrs don’t see, lol love it 👌

[@leefenton3638]

Fit new plugs you cheap skate 😄😄

[@SB-vb8ch]

I know lots of people do it but wire brushes & spark plugs are a complete no-no (leaving scratches with potential conductive contaminants is a bad idea for something attempting to insulate several hundreds of thousands volts & yes there are loads of people who have never had an issue but it is still bad practice). I'd also question soaking them in WD too. I guess the actual benefit you're getting is allowing residual moisture in the plug leads & insulators to dry out. Starting it & only letting it run for a few mins doesn't help with fouling of plugs or moisture build up, If you're going to run it then get it properly hot or don't bother as you'll do more harm than good. As many others have said just replace the plugs!

[@tommylloyd1952]

Go on Adam son!

[@robsmith4555]

She will never know!!! Until the Sunday roast tastes like WD40 ha ha!!! Class man!!

[@hikerbikerallnightcamper1393]

I can’t believe that actually worked nice one 😂

[@tonymetcalfe5068]

Great video as usual Adam. 😃 Keep safe

[@TheEdParr]

Little bit of mitre bond glue on the key mate, works a treat aha

[@gdcodurham.]

You lucky guy stay safe 🙏

[@jonathanrowley8572]

First the washing line, then the sofa, and now the oven!

[@gazzasearle123456]

So.glad you got the old girl back on the road,just wounded when you was gonna put the chips in with the plugs🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣gr8 fix adam👍👍👍

[@fatbob6729]

Brill. your amy must have the patience of a Saint.🤣🤣my misses would go barmy if i did that.

[@wedgeed8770]

Shrink wrap on the broken key 👍

🤣 ur a brave man........my misses would kill me

[@perr1don]

I bet Paul Linfoot is shaking his head!! 😆😂🤣

[@daveycarling9299]

Love it mate 👌🏼 only down the road from you ( Middlesbrough )

[@Wilkkid1]

Quality mate I feel your joy 😀

[@sugar4522]

You’re a brave man Adam, if I did that my Mrs would smell it from 10 miles away...

[@kashkhan6425]

I've never stuck them in the oven, once you have wd40 and brushed them I'd just clean them with some brake cleaner 🤷‍♂️

[@ketkiddy]

sideways out of that junction was MINT LOLZ

[@deancook6810]

I thought you was joking about the oven haha that's brilliant

[@patocallaghan3648]

A fresh rotor arm and distributor cap would do wonders

[@amacca2085]

My grandad used to burn the oil off over the hob... Back in the day like 😂😂😂

[@fatnblack]

so baste the plugs in wd40 and bake in the oven for 15min at 190° or gas mark 5?

[@skodakatie7341]

Well done Adam, you certainly solved that, I’ve never seen spark plugs in the oven before lol 😂.

[@collier666]

So Is she booked in for a re visit to the rolling road?

[@johnogden8923]

Hahaha it probably cost you more to run the oven than it would have been for a new set of plugs ,,,,, good video though as usual 😁👍

[@michaelhodges2448]

How I miss cleaning spark plug but that doesn’t shove the problem

[@nickneve459]

Adam you still continue to make me laugh. Regards Devon boy Nick. Ps that xr3 boy..

[@Jims_racing]

You make me laugh mate. Nice one!! If you want a fun little mk2 golf on your channel im not too far away from you 👍🏼

[@barryherron5351]

Mint video, you should hook up with the on the limiter boys from Sunderland.

[@martinmeaney340]

Petmatex black plastic weld is the stuff

[@martinmeaney340]

Permatex

[@frodofrode]

Love too see when you accelerates the cossy :-)

[@robcrossley6958]

Adam , I had similar issues with my 500, turned out to be hairline crack on rotor arm 😢I know it sounds silly

[@kamdiyar5079]

My old man used to heat the tips on the gas cooker whilst having lunch then clean them with a brush and in they went.

[@mkm7962]

Lol that's you in for it when the missus sees this 😝

[@RumpleXStiltXSkin]

I’ve put the plugs on the top gas jet ....not inside oven 🤬

[@danpearson1972]

Don't forget to clean the new oven before the boss gets in 😂.

[@danboyes7477]

Nice little trick there Adam, glad it's sorted. Love the use of the cereal bowl, but you're a dead man if Amy watches this 😂 Take care mate

[@philiprush2266]

Adam would you not get the guy that re builds the cossy to tune it for you if he couldn’t drunk no one could

[@tracieoliver2307]

Adam ! What you even used one of your dear wifes matching kitchen bowls! OUCH!
