Ford Capri RS 2600 Cosworth V6 dyno crash failure

[@terra2805]

How the hell did they not notice that knocking? If it can be heard in the video surely they could hear it? Absolutely beautiful capri though. The mk1 really has gorgeous lines, like most of the early fords, mk1 escort etc.

[@HenrikBraun]

This is amazing. Such a Beutiful build, room full of car guys and no one hears its knocking😳

[@illfingaz210]

did you not hear that coming?! it was running like a bag of shit from the first start up!

[@123456alcatraz]

Keep on the good job guys hope to hear that beast reving soon , BEST REGARDS FROM PORTUGAL

[@TargaWheels]

At 2:46 the camera picked up the first "wrong" sound. Why didn't the cameraman say something? Or was he just there to record?

[@slabiciune]

I was going to say Ford sux but I can't because I owned a '74 Capri (1st car at 14 yrs old) and I loved it. So I'm going to say:What a bunch of knuckle heads.. You could clearly hear it say:Why are you doing that to me when I'm sick?

[@chris425amp7]

slabiciune It's a nice lump I agree with you lol

[@SIE44TAR]

When I was 16 I bought my first car, a "76 Mercury branded Capri hatchback with the 2.3L Pinto 4 cyl., for $750. I'd love to find one for a project car, maybe with the 2.8L V6.

[@HARRISALO]

The dogs bark, but caravan goes on towards new embarrassments! ;-)

[@NarcisMateescu]

From 3:03 a strange knock occurs. Maybe a piston was already hanging loose and was hitting the plug... i don't know

[@bobspeedw210]

yes,or a huge free play in the piston axle

[@silasmcgee3647]

badr eddine either way it would’ve been better to stop there still fucking sending the engine to Pluto that block could’ve been saved

[@jblack5323]

Even before that if sounds like the pistons were slapping at really low revs. As for the bearing noise the operator wouldn't have been able to pick up on that sound like the camera did due to the cooling fan and dyno noise that was going on.

[@FreerunMediaService]

A little stupid because if they used they're ears they could hear that the engine wasn't at 100% at 02:46. That was the point to stop. Otherwise you can hear something is wrong at 03:04. This was not a dyno test, this was a engine blow up test.

[@mrcabes]

Too many haters not enough knowledge here I'm afraid. 1.07 I'd have pulled the plug. you can hear something about to give out, the tone changes. common on the 2.9 when they're over engineered. Hardly a tuneable engine said Ford back in the 90's. Just over 200hp out of the crate. Best thing for those engines from experience is to put a light turbo on each side. T25 s and a Bosch 403 grey injector upgrade would do the trick (He's using greens here, no need for any more) and achieve a useable 260 - 280hp with the right ecu map, and I don't think there were cams available either for that engine. unless you bought the FBE competition engine which still only topped 300bhp and just under 250ibs, Correct me if I'm wrong? Credit due though for the wrench time put into it. the second engine sounded sweet as a nut and he has a big grin and a trophy to boot! SAAB'N'FORD Till I Die!!!

[@andrewstewart2882]

My seven year old son would have heard and said something about that engine knock... So how come nobody there said said anything?? You bunch of plonkers

[@marcmarcmarcmarcmarc]

as your young lad would know just the audible sounds of the second before last run, was obvious from the rough idle and uneven pick up that something was a miss, there again if there getting the work of the engine rebuild who cares what goes bang,

[@no1aussiepaul]

Took a lot of guts to post a vid of engine blow up on a dyno... hope the rebuild goes better. What year was that motor? Didnt look like the 2.6 I was thinking of.

[@JFar-jf6qq]

I literally thought I was listening to a washing machine runnin at 1st and started to giggle when it pulled back and I realized that yup....thats its engine making that scary noise😣😷😲💩👏💣🔧🔩🔨

[@cartman350]

@ around the 2:47 mark you can hear the tone change in the engine and around the 3:03 mark that's where you could hear the knocking in the motor. I also want to know what kind of numbers it made before the engine shitted on itself.

[@Raceproved]

Looks like its "Knocking" too ................

[@HARRISALO]

Your comment is highly appreciated! Engine is -96 Cossie 24valve from Scorpio. Block is pricipally same with 2.6 with some internal reinforcements. It's funny how succesful dyno video from new engine has only few hunderd views...;-)

[@T0n3zon3]

Why didn't someone shout STOP at 02:48 when the engine was really obviously running rough and unlikely to last another run? Would have saved a lot of time and money. DOH!

[@Mogamboguru]

For such an expensive, as well as exhaustive project, a few H-section forged conrods may have been in order

[@TonyBrQ]

Unbelievable! It was clearly suffering a major misfire for ages yet the numpties carried on until it blew up.

[@cossiemk2]

It; not a RS 2600 it's a 2.9 24v Scorpio engine. I have this engine in my car for 10 years now with a supercharger and now with a turbo. Hasn't let me down yet!

[@jro9001]

Idiots could hear the rods start knocking but decide to go for another run to blow it completely up

[@tobbilin]

Too stupid to notice apparently :D

[@SYKOMORF]

Tossers... i worked on these in the 70's with brodie/buncombe capri2 supersaloon. Beautifull engine. . This one was sounding very very tired from the off. 3 hours run time between builds as a rule from cosworth .... not years !

[@phillip_mcguinness7025]

First sign of trouble 1:00, detonation causing power drops. First sign something is seriously wrong 1:50 one cylinder already has reduced compression and engine is now unbalanced. Bent conrod from too much timing.

[@hollyapril7]

gutted!!!!! keep up the good work my friend and keep posting the vids

[@capridriver]

Oh shit, worse luck ! Nice project, great looking engine and car. H(o)(o)ters paint scheme is cool. Keeping my fingers crossed for early engine restoration. My mate has a very similar project here in CZ.

[@Evoluzione2]

It's so obvious what was going to happen it's like you were doing it on purpose, I wouldn't take my lawnmower for a tune to those guys!

[@tony4790]

That engine was running lumpy to start with so why would you dyno it to death when something was quite clearly wrong in the beginning ?

[@Moralex212]

Tony Maben That engine didnt want to rev since 1rst sec of the video, i can understand that they wanted to map it but not that unwill !!!

[@cuneytozkan2737]

Ein Genuss dieser Sound

[@shirilomakumbela2642]

You could hear it knocking

[@scottmiller3025]

u could hear it knocking

[@eliotmansfield]

it was running like a bag of shit at 1.50, each pull must of made less and less power

[@kukko83]

A lot of acid tongued comments here. Sure the signs were there, the rough running, and especially that huge rod knock. Still, a lot of people being a bit too dramatic.

[@SSFproductions1]

Nasty sound... Like knocking a hammer on your heart all the time..

[@robeddy3722]

Not a single pass sounded "healthy". And yet they continued. Makes no sense at all. Unless they were TRYING to break it.

[@videolakeussuomi]

Tästä jo 10V 😂 Vähän se nakutti tossa jo ennemmin? Tuliko kallis remontti? uutta mäntää yms

[@Draxindustries1]

Bodgit and Leggit dyno tuning LTD.

[@feralfiveB]

yep on the second play of it, just did not sound happy at all from the get go

[@cossiemk2]

WOW epic conrod failure!

[@Deanyfromtheburgh]

''Just one last run to kill it''.

[@2idiot4u]

I noticed it too, was a bad idea to do another run.. ^^

[@Draxindustries1]

Not a RS 2600 at all, this would have been the german version of the essex ohv V6 with Kugelfischer belt driven mechanical injection. This is just a capri with the Cosworh 24valve V6 from a Scorpio..

[@RobTouring]

As the chap below says there was knock from 3 minutes onwards, why didn't you abort the dyno session? I have been to plenty of dyno sessions and you can certainly hear a big end knock at idle. It should have been especially obvious if an oil gauge was installed also. I imagine a bearing spun? I think thats main cap in the sump?

[@badazrod]

I heard the problem starting on the third pull. It was pronounced in the next to last. Enough left for a rebuild?

[@richardtattersall647]

I thought it sounded a little rough from the start too I watched this vid to see it go bang which it did eventually

[@caffjohn]

It was missing like hell just before they did the second last run..... That miss cost someone a lot of money.

[@Haffschlappe]

Never forget always do what german porsche specialists do, add 1% two stroke oil API TC to your fuel as top lubricant when using modern corrosive fuels in old EFI or carbed engines.

[@peterdatechmen5506]

yeah all sounds too easy when we hear through puny PC speakers nothing close to resembling the sound in that closed dyno area. Although had to be a set up vid to blow. No one with a direct drive dyno and all the hook ups to oil , temps, cylinder thermos, air fuel ratio maps etc would miss the graphs of what was audible and the vibration and power fall off evident. Deep pockets syndrome!

[@gnaloin]

It really doesn't sound right even when idling in the intro of the video. You can see the vibrations going through the whole car. There was something really wrong from the beginning.. Hienoa, pojat.

[@sirjammer]

that done blowed up!

[@isoholsetti]

alusta asti kuullostaa siltä että yks sylinteri ei ole täysillä mukana... nyt ei kyllä ollu ihan asiaansa osaavia dynottajia, ja vielä kuulokkeet päässä. täysin omaa tyhmyyttä taas tämäkin konerikko

[@ldnwholesale8552]

As many have said it sounded sad from the start and got worse. It had a top end lean out and miss. The last 3 runs it was on 5 cyl. Last run on 4,, Then bang. noone detonates an engine for testing purposes. Just bad workmanship.

[@lordofbore]

That's what I thought too ,if I was the owner of that car I would not be happy ,what a bunch of ameteurs !!

[@hrlennon8344]

Strange, the engine did not run straight for starters, one could hear bad noises, and later on run on five, why carry on and kill it?

[@AussieRC]

3:03 knocking!!

[@marksmith5156]

When the engine tone changes common sense tells you to stop and see what's wrong and where it's owing from but made it an expensive job for the owner

[@bhm1712]

2.48 - 5 cylinders? High rpm run with a dead cylinder = hydrolock with fuel im guessing. The last run after the major bottom end knock began was just ignorance to what was going on due to being too engrossed in what the laptop was saying and none of the other numpties saying anything. Such a shame.

[@jdmfreak1992]

I heard it to Idk why they did another pull probably could have saved a lot of money if they would have shut it off when It started knocking.

[@crissyb00]

so where was the crash? i was hoping the dagenham dustbin would bounce off the dyno into the back wall... kinda disapointing that it didn't end up a mangeled mess

[@Jorge-Tamacas]

The knocking was clearly audible. It was an indicator that something was wrong. Poor engine. Otherwise it's a good car.

[@888mavrick]

i bet they new it was stuffed from the beginning it sounded pitty bad.i figure they just wanted to see what failed

[@DavidMBanes]

Old one I know, but muppets in the car were both wearing ear defenders so probably didn't hear the impending doom... case of staring at the electronics but forgetting to 'fly' the thing...

[@SnakeReptileRacing]

wonderful car !!

[@coffeefish]

I think that everyone had heavy ear protection. They weren't listing, just watching the computer screens.

[@nowthatscrazy]

I heard it was gonna blow already at the 2min mark. Bad noises man.

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Se serait mon rêve de capri la v6 cosworth j ai grandit la dedans mon pere a eux plusieurs modèles sa première etait une 1700 gt apres direct v6 2.8 rs

[@markmainwaringmm]

so you here knocking and keep running the motor, are you mechanics

[@TheTransGenderSailor]

Yea i could here it knocking why carry the run on seem like low oil pressure

[@Blackfourtrak]

Crikey, could hear it starting to go at 1.32, why carry on?

[@zafirasi]

sounded like the was some bottom end rattle at 3.04

[@rod928s4]

Yes, you are quite right, Simon! That poor Cosworth started misfiring early on but the death-knock was at 3:04 like you said. I cannot imagine how expensive it was to repair that lovely engine...

[@deanoscott]

wow. sounded like it was missing from the very start tbh.

[@SANDSCORCHER]

''This is gonna take a whole lot of flooring''

[@bmanciennepassion5497]

Le moteur a prévenu, le claquement était audible, et personne n'a rien entendu et ils continué jusqu’à la casse moteur, dommage un si beau moteur...

[@brutallyhonest9140]

You could hear the knock at 3.5 and I am stone deaf. What's wrong with these guys. Would have been a £1000 rebuild instead of a £6k

[@ParsParsandMorePars]

That engine was fucked the second it fired up.

[@vetthead]

ooops sorry about that!!

[@666gravedigger]

i thought i could here the bottom end having a slight knock at 2.21, definitely at 3.03.

[@barbbarbmacarb1397]

WHOOPS !!!!!!!!

[@calhaw11]

Wow engine starts knocking but they still carry on, sack the dyno operators.

[@alessiocapitani9943]

At 3:00 byebye rod? What a pity!

[@turboslag]

Well it's all been said, that motor was clearly unhappy from the start, the result was inevitable, what muppets!

[@dirtdiamond360]

wtf why didn't they stop when they heard the tapping on idle at 3:05

[@colognevsa]

Vittu. Oonko mä ainoo joka huomas ETTEI tuo käärmes käyny hyvin enää 2.00 jälkeen?

[@miskakumpulainen5938]

et oo ainut hpmi

[@wisborough8]

Cowboys for sure !!

[@Leyojusticia]

LA BANCADA DEL MOTOR ESTABA MAL AJUSTADA, ERROR HUMANO, EN EL MINUTO 3:01 EL MOTOR SUPLICO. ESOS MOTORES DAN MAS QUE ESO

[@garygeargrinder]

2.47m 5 cylinder v6

[@jr540123]

You could tell right as the video started that something sounded wrong with that engine. Poor fools should of known better.

[@gaviaarctica3265]

hinta?

[@Carlst17]

1:24 what do you expect look at the KID in the drivers seat looks like he should be playing a PlayStation.

[@miskakumpulainen5938]

hyvä

[@andrewstewart2882]

what a set of amateurs ....

[@chris425amp7]

Andrew Stewart I wouldn't of put this up an I've some ruff running lump vids lol

[@antoniogoncalves6621]

brutal e muita paixao

[@gbandyno]

Stop asking why they didn't hear the knocking.everybody was f@#ked from the noise.and it is still just Ford.revving the tits out of it for few minutes :what are you expecting??

[@metaldude9253]

knock knock...…..who is there?

[@juanzip-sp]

a hecho pedazo un piston XD XD , habra que ponerle pistones de mejor calidad de titanio por ejemplo junto a buen juego de bielas del mismo metal, este viejo v6 de ford es una mala bestia XD

[@Mrbenggo]

Well he didn't need a breakdown truck

[@FiestaTitanium09]

Bei 3:03 hätte ich spätenstens den Test,die Messung abgebrochen oder als Eigentümer abbrechen lassen....das männchen in der Ölwanne ist schon deutlich zu hören.... Lagerschaden!!!!!!.Was wäre gewesen wenn beim versuch danach das Pleuel geflogen wäre und Loch in Motorblock und Karosserie beschädigt hätte???? Absolut unnötig!!!!!

[@TargaWheels]

All that money, no common sense.

[@TechnikMeister2]

As they say in the trade: Its thrown a leg out of bed

[@bigjohnfury5662]

hate rolling roads..there's a reason top engine builders that win races Rallys and championships use dynos

[@2jzhx60]

How would you define a rolling road compared to a dyno? To me they are the same thing. Doesnt matter if the dyno is hooked up the hubs or tyres via a roller.

[@deanthedevil7350]
