Daihatsu Charade Engine Swap - Gentle Progress (EP5)

This time, I fit the water pump, while Miss HubNut cleans the engine bay. I also manage to get the exhaust manifold off, but it's not in great shape. And yes, it was bloomin' cold! What happened to Spring?

Great video guys, Miss Hubnut looks like she’s about to set off on an expedition to Antarctica with Scott. “I’m just going out in the Charade, I may be some time.” 😂👍

[@KelvynTaylor]

At this rate, perhaps paint a big mark on the old engine just so you don't reinstall it. That would be genuine Hubnut. 😂

[@redsorgum]

I think he did that on the 2cv just before he left for Europe? Or maybe he had to pull the engine out again.

[@TheShinyShow]

@@redsorgum He's definitely done it on an inlet manifold or something, and had to do the job again.

[@Mancozeb100]

Ouch ! How could you sayyyy such a thing ?!?! 🫣

[@KelvynTaylor]

@@redsorgum that was a manifold I believe

[@Ragnar8504]

@@TheShinyShow Yes, definitely 2CV manifold!

For the trolley, use the pallet!!! Saw one half off, leaving the blocks intact on one half, then screw the castors onto the corners of the pallet, and there you have a much stronger trolley, onto which you could then screw the board on top of and use for many things of rolly-aroundy business... :P

[@ebutuoyYT]

Well done for getting stuck into this project, working on cars is like Lego for adults, with added pain, cost and frustration. Miss HubNut is a hard taskmaster, perfect for keeping Ian focused (ish).

[@HainjeDAF]

At least most adults do it wearing footwear. Remember stamping barefoot on LEGO? 🤣

[@Zadster]

To be fair, the cost of this car, the replacement engine, all the parts, insurance and road tax is quite a lot less than some Lego sets. The big Millennium Falcon is £700!

[@mrstephenparryfromportsunl3111]

Nice see miss hubnut the boss is back your fun watch you both working together and hope we see her in more videos on KZbin and miss hubnut and kids are looking after you here about your family loss but you have lovely family with miss hubnut and the kids

[@adrianellis6902]

Ian, just to say thanks for making me smile, a super 20 odd minutes, you have a wonderful lady by your side, It's just so refreshing to see and hear, take care.

[@rodhili3946]

you need to put 4 more casters on your board. Then you'll caster 8 it😅

[@brianreardon159]

Wow. Miss Hubnut has been colour coordinated to the cars.🤩😁

[@niallsommerville9941]

Nipped that one in the bud Madame, good for you ;-) Perhaps you need a dedicated CleanCam. I have a stock of old toothbrushes that don't get binned until degreaser has completely destroyed them. I do love the mouse noises rusty nuts make. Best Pstchoo.

[@dagenhamdave2611]

fantastic video mr hubnut. miss hubnut clearly is or on the journey of making your engine /work operations much more methodical. more videos of you both working together is a must

[@chrisdowns1987]

Excellent video, thank you both 😊 I sympathise with tools sneaking off having done a pair of timing belts today. By the end of the second one the pile o tools was monstrous! The fight doing the 2005 Octavia vRS's in the car was silly, all down to a truculant engine mount. Wrong video I know but I was gutted to miss the NEC show, really enjoyed the reports though, hope to see you next time!

[@theotherchannel2279]

Mate, I hope this engine bloody works after all of this!!!

[@bentullett6068]

It wouldn't be Hubnut without a disaster

[@micheltebraake7915]

Don't forget to tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt, you know, the HubNut method of "I'll do that later". Turn a bolt in one of the gearbox bolt holes, support a screwdriver against the sprocket of the flywheel, that's how you block the crankshaft from turning, if you know what I mean. Good luck with it.

[@Hairnicks]

Ahhh, the joy of seeing Miss Hubnut in charge and insisting on doing things properly, Ian, "You are not the messiah, you're a very naughty boy." That trolley board was a disaster waiting to happen, just cut it in half equally, glue and screw the two boards into one, add wheels and go for it, it'll be really strong and useful. Happy days.

[@johncallaghan4616]

Yippppppppeeeeeee! Chemmy progress ! When you were comparing water pump pulley wheels, I genuinely said "he's gonna say "Gubbins"" as you started to explain the fouling, and immediately after I, you did! Great job by Miss Hubnut - drivers' side of the Bay looking superb! Keep.Em.Comin'!

[@cardiffgiant9406]

Don't worry Ian, we are suffering the same out here in Indiana. 25C on Wednesday, today its snowing!

[@daviddenham2971]

“The more clips you find the less you need”. Such a Hubnut thing to say.

Brilliant idea about connecting a bog brush to a drill. I work at a leisure centre doing technical stuff and preparing surfaces (not porcelain) for repainting etc is great .

[@bigtrev8xl]

Very entertaining Mr & Mrs Hubnut, especially when she tells you off 😉😉👍👌

[@johnnorth9355]

I see the cunning plan. Ensure the boss sees that you are going slowly and surely, taking your time to get it right with care and attention to detail as a visible love token. Should keep you in the good books for months to come !

[@cardiffgiant9406]

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Happy Getting Betty day!! Cannot believe it's one year already! Great tinkering video over lunch, it had to go Hubnut at some point!

[@anthonystevens8683]

Nice one Hubnutters! Great to see you both taking time during the 'operation'. I've lost count how many times I've had to take things apart again to fit something that was fitted out of order. The infamous little A series little hose that went from the block to the cylinder head comes to mind that required another new head gasket to refit the head. Later ones were accordion style that could be scrunched in at a little risk.

[@andrewentwistle515]

Yet another great tinkering session with Mr & Miss Hubnut. It is nice to see that steady progress is being made with Chemmy the Charade.

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

Nice going on the engine project. Saw the board in half and double it up, then use thru bolts for the casters and they will stay on. You can put a bar thru the clutch and it will be sufficient to hold it from turning while you torque it on. Miss HubNut is such a nice cheerful addition to the videos. Keep up the Good Work!

[@euhm]

It's really nice to see miss Hubnut back for ep.5 after we had to miss her for the forth episode. She's lovely!

[@JamesG75]

[@stephenshippam9374]

Hi to the pair of you, another good video, making progress with it, look forward to your next video best wishes to you both

[@andicog]

They don't paint colour in certain areas because the primer is the main protection when it comes to paintwork, some underbonnets are primer and ground coat (makes the colour cover better) some are colour without lacquer, it's the way of the world now, even when we repair new cars we have to duplicate this so the vehicle looks factory .

[@whitemoor66]

Great stuff. Gentle progress is better than no progress - or going backwards! Keep going.

[@cardiffgiant9406]

I recently tried undoing the crank bolt on my Anglia by putting it in gear and standing on the brakes and it didn't work. My suggestion is when you put the gearbox on then you should be able to use a screwdriver or a flat bar to lock a tooth on the flywheel through the starter motor hole.

[@gryfandjane]

Coming along very nicely! Enjoyed the update.

Brilliantly organised chaos. Sublime viewing 👏👏👏

I think Miss HubNut needs a new title when you are working on the cars "Workshop Manager." She has the organisational skills to keep your slightly "Bodgery" methods in check.

Nice seeing y all work together 😀

[@colinjones2505]

Turning into a real life 'soap' this. Most excellent. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@s.gossett5966]

Ian. If you put a couple bolts in the back of the crank, you can then use a long bar to act as counter leverage for torquing the crank pulley.

[@Banglish123]

[@mikeclifton7778]

Some points for consideration: 1, If all else fails, read the ******* manual. 2, the instructions are only the manufacturer's opinion anyway. 3 It shows how petite the lovely Miss Hubnut is when she can't see stop the Matiz! 4, "How very HubNut' has entered my vocabulary, being used when things don't quite go to plan.

[@thomasfrancis5747]

Even cheaper Aldi/Lidl option - save £18 by nicking a shopping trolley and cutting the top off. Or maybe not..... (although you might find the odd one in a local canal). Loving the banter. Noting how the M10 socket reappeared from the parallel universe only to be immediately replaced by the M12 - there must be a version of Murphy's Law to cover this. You are an amateur mechanic - there is such a thing as a hopeless professional mechanic - often to be found at a main dealer. Agree with you about Panda underbonnets only in primer - a good reason why we bought two Hyundais. Crank pulley bolt - Car SOS yesterday showed a Corrado engine rebuild which had gone wrong when the flywheel bolts weren't tightened up. If you're ever feeling down about quality of work done just watch a YT Just Rolled In episode.... Try working to Watch Wes Work standards rather then Vice Grip Garage though (although even so he knows what he's doing).

[@KiwiStag74]

Watching you put that water pump pulley on, I first asked the laptop screen whether you should be doing that first rather than the cambelt cover, but you just carried on. Then I took a closer look and started yelling for you to stop so you didn't have to redo everything you just did.....but again you didn't listen. 😁 I know I am 13,000km away on the other side of the world, in a different hemisphere and all that, but you really shouldn't ignore someone who's really trying to get your attention and save you some time..... Glad you figured it out before you put the crank pulley on and everything else though - THAT would have been very embarrassing.....and I might have had apoplexy in the interim! 😂🤣 Great to see the project coming along, mate. Slowly but surely - that's the best way to do it. Gives you time to see your mistakes before you make them 😉 All the best to you both.

[@cme2cau]

Make a list of things like "crank pulley bolt" on a piece of cardboard and put it on the windscreen. Add things "to be done later" as you go Cross them off when done. Saves a lot of grief! Also, if you grind that manifold it will look like the Brecon Beacons. A machine shop could put it on the milling machine, or use a coarse sharpening stone to keep it flat.

[@Pfirtzer]

You watch this excellent work with ordinary tools just magic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d17KgZ-Pnspmb7s

FYI the rope trick does work, used it on an automatic, that cannot be put in gear. 😊

[@tedburnard841]

The paint palaver reminds me of a mate here in Adelaide (South Australia) bought a new XB Fairmont V8 coupe in 1974. Got hit up the backside a few months later and the crash repairer discovered that the rear panel between the tail lights was body colour paint over bare metal. The crash shop checked a few other body panels on the car, same deal. He got the damaged rear fixed and unloaded the car pronto!

When you undone that nut I was hoping there wasn't going to be a cross thread or snapped stud moment. If I come across rusty bolts and screws I tend to pre penetrate oil them and leave them for a while to soak, usually they come off ok especially when is a bolt that has been in a wooden bodied vintage railway carriage for over 80-90 years.

[@johnalees99]

I make a 50:50 mix of caustic degreaser and kerosene. You can either spray it on or brush it on. And most workshop manuals have a picture of the factory tool to lock the flywheel. It's basically just a piece of 4 mm plate that has a point to lock into the ring gear, and a hole to bolt it to the bell housing bolt holes. (very hard to use with the motor still in the car) I had neither so I just put the car on the ground, put it in gear and put the handbrake on and just guesstimated the torque (me swinging on a meter of pipe was about right). it never came loose so that was a win. But you are making good progress there, taking your time and not breaking too many things. Just keep going and you will probably have it all back in running in a few weeks. Excellent work there you two. 🙂
