Impressed (and envious)by the amount of machinery you have. I have home built one Duratec and several Pinto engines, I need to build another Duratec so thanks for the build video.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Paul you're welcome

Loving the long build videos makes you appreciate the skill of building a engine properly keep them coming 😊

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Matthew, we will.

[@BSquaredmotors]

Commented on the your other latest video..I have a machine shop lined up to do the light machine work but I’ll be referring to this video for my assembly to be sure I don’t miss a thing! Again..TOP NOTCH! Thanks!!

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thank you, hope it all goes well for you, if you need any help just ask👍

[@bobwilliamson5574]

You must have a million quids worth of machinery , nice videos.😊

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Bob. We got a few now. Still want more

[@craigjollands9802]

Another brilliant vlog mate its absolutely fantastic watching a true professional engine builder. please keep the videos coming

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Craig.. we will I'm thinking of another midweek just chatting about what's in.

[@davidbaxter600]

Really enjoyed this one James, thanks for sharing

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks David, no worries

[@dughuff8825]

Like how KZbin's subtitles describe the noise of the injector test as either 'music' or 'applause' depending on the speed they're running at! 🙂 Great video again.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thank you.

[@holbonphotography1540]

👍👍 Another great engine build.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Graham, hope you guys are ok

[@roygardiner2229]

Fab! I learned a lot of generic engineering info from your video. For example, about torque angle.👍

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Roy, I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@johng.4959]

Awesome stuff! Takes a lot of experience to make a great engine!

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks John.

[@christophercullen1236]

I am really enjoying the transformation from the old shop to the new shop a special the engine build area. The make up artists are doing a great job on you ( Hollywood) BUT the audio for a old colonial like me is very echoy in the engine assembly room. Keep up the good work Kit from down under

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Kit, Tracy has brought me some microphones so I’ll use them soon, the lighting don’t seem great in there as well.

[@davidball9815]

Great video James, its made me think to check the injectors on my XKR.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

It's worth doing, I did a set today they were shocking to start with.

[@mrwilson7769]

So much goes into a rebuild, fascinating to watch

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thank you

[@bilbobaggins4366]

​@graceenginedevelopments gr8 job mate look top drawer , say I much for this exact engine on a same basis ie crank and cams not bad but with .25 or .5 balance and would the zetec cost the same ?

[@StephenBrown-ti6mm]

Nice job lots of old school techniques I love your attention to detail and mega degree of cleanliness 👍

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Stephen 👍🏁

[@mreuropa88]

Love watching these James. I always used to use a big wedge out of my missus's Vaseline pot to prime the oil pump 😁. I did clean my hands first😂. I love that snap on torque wrench mate that wasn't cheap was it. BTW I spy a Lotus twink on the bench!

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks mate.. yes the torque wrench is very good.. yep there is definitely one being done

[@mikemccarthy1398]

fantastic job.....ultrasonic bath works well

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Mike, yes it does.. very noisy though I need to move it somewhere.

Another great informative video! I hope to get my engine back by this weekend…all going well. I will have to get some advice from you when I have it on what to do while it has been on its side for 3 months! I will PM you closer to the time

Thanks cuz

[@Sotmax]

22:00 i remember you need to use criss cross pattern for the crankshaft . Why going in series? Great job in general with a lot of detailing

[@graceenginedevelopments]

No reason for going in series, I torqued it like that when I measured the main line, I also didn't realise there was a sequence until a subscriber sent me an original manual for it..

Nice work mate 👍🏻 I’m guessing more OEMs are going over to girdle mains so they can machine in situ and save build time?

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks mate.. save time and money mate

[@davidgreen7841]

Can you do a Zetec or ST170 build. The brown block behind you when your building the duratec looks like a Zetec/ST170 block. The engine behind you in the engine room too looks like a Zetec too.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

I can start to film the brown one

[@davidgreen7841]

@@graceenginedevelopments Thank you. Im really intrested in seeing a built Zetec done as there isnt many videos detailing this on youtube. Great in depth video on the duratec 👍

[@gaborbodo8960]

22:40 just a notice. That bolts should be tightened as the head bolts. From the center, going outwards circly.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Not sure about that

[@jjjaaa888]

Nice mate 👍

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thank you

[@TheBananaSlugger]

This video is a fantastic resource - thanks for taking the time to share it. I have a question regarding balancing. It looks you installed a fresh set of the factory cast pistons and rods. Did you also have to balance those? I ask because I've heard it's a pain to separate the factory rods from the pistons, as the wrist pin is pressed in.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thank you. I just checked them as a complete assembly

[@TheBananaSlugger]

@@graceenginedevelopments One more question: do you use ARP rod bolts with the factory cast rods? Some have suggested that they distort the rods too much (relative to Ford bolts). What has your experience been? Thank you!

[@graceenginedevelopments]

They didn't move on this set.. but I have known them too

[@TheBananaSlugger]

@@graceenginedevelopmentsSorry, not sure what you mean by “move”?

[@graceenginedevelopments]

I mean by going out of round and needed capping and resizing.

[@revsandboost]

Very educational video for me personally, I have a renewed appreciation for how big of a job doing this is! Engine looks mint, do you know how much power the customer was hoping to make out of it? If you don't mind me asking- how many hours did this take and what was the build cost? Great channel keep up the good work 👍

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thank you, I'm not sure on power I need to contact the customer and ask how he's getting on with it. I'm not sure on the hours but I'm filming 2 engines at the moment and logging hours.. price for that was about 4k

[@revsandboost]

@@graceenginedevelopments look forward to the vids on them, I always learn so much from highly skilled, experienced people like yourself thank you

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks for watching, no worries always happy to help if you need it

[@TheBananaSlugger]

Question about piston ring installation: do you lubricate the rings and the ring lands before installing them on the pistons? How about the piston skirts, or is the only lubrication the lube you apply to the tops of the bores? Thank you!

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Hi. I use as little as possible, I use totalseal assembly lubricant around the top of the bore just to help the skirt and rings install

[@paulrunell7821]

nice

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Paul

[@ianbates1312]

When you use the crank balancer I wish you would use the 2 safety arms,,,, just in case something goes pear shaped,,,, 🙏🙏

[@graceenginedevelopments]

The belt pulls it down so it won't go far.. I should use them though.. I'll try and remember

[@paulbrabon2067]

Fantasic vid there was engrossed from start to finish 👍 one question though i was told its not possible to skim an Duratech HE/Mazda L head as theres not enough meat on them before they go out of tolerance? In fact its what sent my Mondy to thr scrapper and i couldn't find anyone willing to resurface the head in my area🤷😡

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Thanks Paul, I don't know the official tolerance but I've skimmed a lot of these with no problems

[@Zerozeller1]

hey is it possible to change the shims on the original tappes? or do I need other tappes

[@graceenginedevelopments]

The bucket is the shim so you need to change them

[@graceenginedevelopments]

The bucket is the shim so you need to change them

[@Zerozeller1]

So i have to change the whole bucket ? Not possible to get the shim out of the bucket

[@graceenginedevelopments]

@lukasdaross3964 yes the whole bucket

[@yak7979]

Hello. I own an Fiesta ST from 2006. The car is currently on 116k miles and burning oil, I’ve checked everything on engine, how can I fix that issue?

[@graceenginedevelopments]

@@yak7979 when is it burning oil? Can you see it smoking and if so when

[@yak7979]

@@graceenginedevelopments I can see the smoke coming from exhaust on full gas

Id say a strip down and look at the bores and rings

[@aldoniojardim7221]

I've got a volvo s40 with duratec engine and the same problem. Around 117k . Rings gone. Getting all the parts before start stripping it down.

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Remember to check the bore for wear

[@mrwilson7769]

Obviously the customer has supplied some fancy parts but how much would a rebuild like this cost?

[@graceenginedevelopments]

It really all depends on what we do, anywhere from £2000 upwards

[@marcbeddis1471]

more of sam on the vids hes great

[@graceenginedevelopments]

I'll tell him.

[@TonyW3bb95]

How much to do this on my st150 id have to bring the car to you, and you remove the engine and if you could supply and fit a whole rebuild like this, how much all in please

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Hi. I'm sorry but we don't work on cars, just the engine, you would need to bring the engine into us removed.

[@TonyW3bb95]

@@graceenginedevelopments okay no worries what this rebuild cost with all supplied and fitted please

[@graceenginedevelopments]

@TonyW3bb95 it depends on spec, around 5k

Haha good try , I guess its spanner time 😀

[@jamesdungan6198]

So basically calling the customer to say hey buddy I know you tried to help buying all the parts first but most of them we don't need you'll have to buy them all again

We used most of his parts.
