IF I QUIT TOMORROW WHAT JOB WOULD I DO?

[@ataxpayer723]

I suggest advising that owner, that there is no warranty on the repairs to the block that has the bliming great big hole in the side of the bore. This should also be noted on the invoice.

[@gerrywalsh5766]

When we built the brake valves for the F-18 Hornet we would put the spool sets and sleeves in a 2 stage freezer (-120° F) and they would slip right into the main body with just hand pressure. (Using gloves of course) On our farm we used Dry Ice to cool the cylinder liners on the overhauls we did on our tractor engines.

[@terencehawkes3933]

Gees, that porous block worries me. I am not sure I'd want to rely on that liner to prevent a water leak. I'd scrap the bloc. I hope it doesn't come back to bite you. Great advice to young men there Lee!

[@Speedfreak99969]

My thoughts were the same.

[@paulnolan1352]

How do you think a wet liner works? It’s only got O Rings around it keeping the Water out of the Sump.

[@terencehawkes3933]

@@paulnolan1352 No O''rings on that one. It's supposed to be a dry liner. The fact that the cast iron is already perforated means that block is weak as hell. Water will work its way down past the liner into the sump. I wouldn't risk doing that.

[@paulnolan1352]

@@terencehawkes3933 you have misunderstood my response. If a Wet liner can stay dry with only O rings stopping water ingress then I’m sure a liner pressed into a parent bore at 2.5tonnes force with a 3 thou interference fit and 620 loctite isn’t going to leak.

[@paulnolan1352]

@@terencehawkes3933 Nothing wrong with the block, the perforated cast is the unstressed thin cast of the water jacket. The strength of the block is in the cast webs which are stressed grey cast iron.

I knew what I wanted to be at 16, an engineer! And guess what? I became a mechanical engineer, fitter/turner. My days were full of building machines, turning, milling, grinding. Now at 73 I miss it all.

[@andrewphillips6053]

You know what about jobs. It doesn't matter if its the best paid job in the world, if you don't enjoy or love what you do. It's no fun and a drag.

[@ambydaly5713]

Why don’t you make a standard practice of checking all bored blocks with NDT tester kit? That way you will ensure that all your work is free from porousity?

[@mkllove]

Lee, Couldn't you use the extra 3" you're cutting off as a piston installation tool ? Load a piston with the rings pre set for gap and alignment in that cutoff segment with the piston jutting out a bit for finding allignment in installed sleeve section ?

[@simonm7776]

Good points, well made, Lee (Mr career advisor)😀 Top money and a career for life for a skilled motor technician!

[@davidcoyle7125]

Would it be a silly idea to sugest makeing up your own swivel adaptor for pressing in linners perhaps useing an old harrley spicer and part of a drive shaft with a handle fitted?

[@daveyjones2215]

Listen mate as someone 40 years in business DONT QUIT,you are NOT a quitter 😃😃😃

[@madeljacky]

Ive been lucky to have an engineering grandad and a Farmer / mechanic father while i have a big interest in fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, decades later it turns out i am now a Mechanic, engineer, farmer, builder and flyer of fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft so you do not know what skills you learn in life or what path you go down

[@emscorsa]

Allways good to watch your videos. Please make a video how to build a n/a race engine.

[@chartersclose]

That block wants going in the skip at least get them to sign a disclaimer it will prob be ok nothing a egg in radiator wont sort

[@tam1381]

Lee you looking very cool and relaxed....

[@thefreedomguyuk]

He's becoming an annoyingly handsome Commander William Riker lookalike ❤❤❤

[@rogerbond7811]

I did my apprenticeship with BOAC starting at 16 as an aircraft electrician retired 45 years later from British Airways as a licenced aircraft engineer (avionics). I was not the only one to retire without moving jobs the airline changed it's name we carried on just the same. The pension was the thing we stayed for.

[@johnmclean4911]

I would have thought you would have needed to fitted new rings with you reboring cylinders or fitting new liners. 🤔

[@deanharriss2029]

I’m not convinced that liner will seal that. Especially with thermal expansion, also will that corrosion not just get worse?

[@seagullsbtn]

Would using liquid nitrogen to fit the liners help or hurt the quality of the end product? Especially where there is a porous cylinder.

[@stujones9976]

Liquid Nitrogen shrinking the liner they must be fitted clean and dry. If you apply any sealant or oil it will grab the sleeve before they are home

[@jamesdungan6198]

Surely a warranty clerk at a dealership would be fitting for you you are so experienced in that field lol

[@zzhughesd]

I ask myself this twice daily. Must be a sign

[@jimlove4541]

I haven't watched the video yet but a question popped into my head. Did you put the Torsen differential in the track car like I recommended or a Trutrac would be the same?

[@TheGreyTest]

I had no idea of what I wanted to be when I was a young g kid, but by the time I was in my late teens I wanted to be a racing driver as I found that I had a natural talent for it, whatever car I was in. Not trying to blow my own trumpet or anything, it’s just how it was. Anyway, the thing with motorsport, it’s an expensive game to get into, money being something I had no access to, and you need to know the right people too. If only my parents could afford to get me into carts when I was young, maybe things could have been different. 😐

[@richardhartley1705]

With you on paperwork👍

[@Speedfreak99969]

You would do Isaacs job on low wages.

[@stephenfrench4417]

Well an Engine Doctor nee Surgeon does not seem a bad choice to me I was always into motorsport the technical side but became a lawyer. For me I would have chosen Isaac's route rather than the law... Now I can afford the motorsport but do not have the health to do so

[@sweetcorn1968]

I'm 56 and still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.

[@JRNracing21]

You are an engine Doctor 😂

[@ronald1968]

Are you going to pressure test the 205 block with liners??..... I know a rover v8 engine builder who scraps any block with a porous bore... and with the rv8 there are lots!!

[@stujones9976]

Totally agree. A must to pressure test all blocks that you've sleeved to repair a cracked or porous cylinder wall

[@Speedfreak99969]

I could see you as a plumber or a electrician maby even a bin man who knows. I'm sure you would have done well either way.

[@robertjohnson6719]

Brain surgeon or Prime Minister. You'd be the best since Thatcher

[@mikeandrews8690]

Come back quick, Isaac! I can only put up with so much sea-sickness. The early part of this vid was terrible rock-and-rolly! Did you get the customer's agreement to proceed with the hole. Looked like a piece of Edam.

[@thefreedomguyuk]

Well, Lee, what would you be ? I guess you'd be click baiting the glossy magazines from a hammock on I'm a celebrity get me out of heeeere ❤😂

[@richardhartley1705]

[@richardbryant7505]

That block is scrap unfortunately

[@RickieMcleary]

hi ,when cummins fit liners to the bigger engines they fit a 50 to 100 thou shim between the top of the liner and the block (suspect to allow for heat expansion in use) , you could have cooled the liner in the freezer ( it would have fell in to the hole)???? very entertaining

[@Joolz777]

😎😎😎🌶🌶🌶👍👍👍

[@mattwills87]

I dont think anyone really knows what they want when there 16 I wanted to be an auto electrician 😂 I did better in my GCSEs did 6th form then went to college did music engineering and well I'm a dog walker 😂 they say never to something you love for a job as it will take your passion away.

If it had been around when you were young, I guess you could have gone on OnlyFans but you'd have to pay the punters? 🤣🤣🤣

[@Impulse5596]

Imagine if those bars at 2 tonnes pressure flew out and hit you in the face. Like someone hitting you in the face with a sledge hammer. Surely there should be safety doors with special shatterproof windows fitted. I love your program and content, but every day you are playing Russian roulette. Its only time before someone gets injured or worse.

Get a grip of yourself!
