[@foodandstuff2724]

What about a collaboration with life of Tom, he wants to go on track with his Mercedes

[@Kris_T_]

You should use an upper case V for Autoalex V2 and make the logo a picture of a V-twin.

[@sleepingwarrior4618]

What's this change or rules with respect to towing of large trailers? I'm behind

[@Grant.G.Simpson]

i used to have a woodford 3 bike trailer with wheel clamps back in 2014, i used to transport peoples motorbikes all over UK every week, it did many many thousands of miles faultlessly

[@Billybob09871]

You should do a challenge where Tom buys a shitbox car, and you have to fix it. Let him get some revenge 😂

[@marzocchi705]

This would be epic beyond belief!

[@cnvdh3514]

I would watch this

[@michaelterry9257]

YES!

[@chrischilvers9550]

Great idea

[@BRED510]

Great idea!

[@tavarish]

As it turns out, the Jag wasn't Misha rated.

[@mig25foxbat]

I mean, if he'd driven slower he wouldn't have caused the oil starvation, so I think you should still blame the guy

[@quadraforest]

@@mig25foxbat crying driver error when the car was underengineered is quite poor

[@mig25foxbat]

@@quadraforest yeah I was joking tbh

[@samholdsworth420]

Jags are for somoh!

[@CranfordPark]

@@quadraforest I don’t think Nurgurburgring.BallsOutMode was in the use cases considered by Jaguar engineers back in the mid-90s

[@thekingtom]

Tom comes across as such a genuine legend and nice bloke, awesome addition

[@duggers999]

Tom seems such a nice guy. Need more of him in the car industry.

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

Fair play Tom is a great guy and a massive addition to the channel...

[@BusThrash]

I suspected oil starvation would be the cause, the early AJV8 engines pre2000 were known to suffer with oil starvation under track conditions. Jaguars way to fix this was later models had a different dipstick, where the Oil Min level on the revised dipstick was where the Oil Max level was on the original part. Quite a crude bit of engineering 🤣

[@AndyK.1]

British ingenuity. Cheap fix. No need to take anything apart. 😂. I thought it was only the cars with Milan wheels that got the revised dipstick, but I guess they rolled it out to all

[@Thanos.m]

Honestly first thing I thought if you're going to track it just extra litre of oil 😂. Although by 02 they'd come out with the 4.2 which was a very solid engine.

[@throwback19841]

Interesting, my XKR has an engine built in 2001, wonder how much oil it can actually take lol. I put in exactly the specified amount from the manual as I've always been taught that overfilling oil = bad.

[@AndyK.1]

@@throwback19841 Overfilling is bad, except when the manufacture has calculated it is ok to a point. Fill levels are very variable on these engines. You can’t believe the printed figures.

[@flippy9133]

@@AndyK.1 Its recommended to slightly overfill a car that gets driven hard

[@iwanevans607]

Wow, that engine really died a savage death, another great video on the V2 channel, nice to see a tear down of the engine and what a great gesture from Tom and a brill memory of Tina

[@djdrwatson]

Tom is a top bloke and a great addition to the team!

[@Critical_Cabbage]

Tom is such a legend. The guy seems extremely kind, love it whenever he is on the channel.

[@MatthewC23498z]

Welded VVT to camshaft 💀Nice to know the big end bearing journals wanted to join the party 😂

[@LewisGardner187]

Poor Tom, stuck with a son he never wanted but Alex has chosen well

[@3LBane1974]

You need to etch a map of the Nürburgring into the glass.

[@uksmudgesmith]

Perhaps stop the etch where Tina finished

Love it when Toms on the channel. Jolly and dry humour at its finest. Knows his stuff and keeps Alex in check 😉

[@ravismcromarty5600]

Now see if the table can do a lap of the Nurburgring!

[@conmcgrath7174]

A ha ha! Put it on a 'high speed' trailer. Excellent comment dude.

[@fantastic1921]

Tom's a proper geezer. Always good when he's on the channel.

Tom’s such a good addition to the channel. That welded VVT system killed me 😂😂😂

[@Miniputt_999]

I really enjoy seeing Tom on the channel, he is an excellent mechanic and a good guy. And i do like when he rants on about the technical aspect and gets all geeky :D Looking forward for more vid on both channels :D

[@chrisb9360]

What a great episode! Love the odd couple relationship these guys have and that was really educational to see the carnage this engine endured. Would love to see more of this stuff!

[@02howgegoa54]

Loving the ‘nerdier’ technical content lately. Also Tom is a natural on camera

[@TheWorldListens]

It's refreshing to see a mechanic using the correct tools even on a f'd engine.

[@Devastator0]

Man, I love Tom, he's just such a legend. Absolute clutch addition to people on the channel. Well done all round boys.

[@eduardosq99]

Welded camshaft 💀💀💀💀 i didnt know that was even possible

[@drunkenhobo8020]

I can't begin to imagine the balancing issues that caused.

[@throwback19841]

@@drunkenhobo8020 It definitely has some "it just needs to make it through the test drive and off the used car lot" vibes to it doesnt it.

Tom the legend, pls keep having him in these videos.

[@Josh_Austin]

I love Tom! Such a genuine guy, a real gentleman

Tom always pretends to be annoyed at the work alex drops on him, but he loves it 😂

[@AndyK.1]

Tom thinks I could be having pride in my work and earning loads of £

[@SteveMorton]

Tom is awesome a genuine friend of the channel. Great to see what happened to that engine!

[@georgelancaster4751]

[@russfoggan4092]

"Quality bodge" LOL

[@bleachyberserko4191]

What a spot on little video, I really enjoyed that! That table looks lovely in the black and polished with red logo 👌

[@DaDa-David]

Tom is awesome - nothing better than somone that shows you whats wrong and explains how it went wrong, share knowledge like Tom!

[@deaks25]

Misha properly cooked Tina's engine!! The table looks absolutely mint though, I think that will be an "AutoAlex Spec" request. Tom is awesome chap and listening to someone who knows their stuff talk engines is always great.

[@BRED510]

Great video. Tom is a great addition.

[@thebr0wnhornet]

“👉That’s the auto Alex spec” has to one of the greatest roasts of all time

[@josephrobertson9107]

You’re making some awesome friendships along this crazy journey!

[@T_3rR4h]

So youtube's horrendous algorithms have only just shown me a video from this chanel... And none from your main chanel. Been wondering where you guys had gone off to! Glad to see you about & pleanty of videos to watch

[@jamesallport9463]

Can see Tom getting a restraing order on Alex in the future 🤣

[@Jahmed5635]

We need tavarish to go round the Nurburgring in the jag again and with Tom and misha in it!!

[@maxkennedy2800]

Good video, Tom presents really well. Funny and educational

[@bonse1]

This channel has the best colabs. Tom's gonna end up being a table manufacturer now, that tables mint.

VVT welded up...Yes Alfa T-spark engine (Alfa 75) back in 1995 My (Race car) mechanic decided that all it did was advance the timing, so... On a race car timing can be advanced all of the time (in theory) so He fixed the VVT in place and welded it up...had timing perminantly advanced!
