More power to weight than a BUGATTI VEYRON in a MK2 ESCORT!

Late video today for us today but we still manage to update you on our workshop and the engines we’ve got going on. This Cosworth engine will be something special with more power to weight than a Bugatti Veyron

I fitted the turbosport dry sump to mine. My advice ,before you fit the sump pan,tap the corner holes out to 8mm in the pan itself, reason being , if you have to remove the sump ,when you've removed all the m6 bolts it was impossible to pull the sump off, due to the gasket compound. So to futre proof, if a few holes are taped out , you can wind in an 8mm bolt to push the sump off.,without tapping it off. In my case, the sump is not the best quality aluminium and was very soft/thin, so the slightest tap or push or pull cracked the aluminium, tis very delicate. Also , do not use the aluminium spacer bolt it comes with,you'll know what i mean when you see it.Use your own steel one. You'll also need different pulleys, The standard twin belt won't fit, hits the aux pulley . I ended up having to buy their toothed pulley set. Then this caused another slight issue, it wasn't turning the standard alternator quick enough on idle, therefore charging light didn't go out, ended up buying a brise alternater. But i got there in the end, and happy with it. If anyone wants pics, i can post on my youtube.

Isaac: "That head thing goes on top" I really can't tell if he was being sarcastic or not, but his timing was spot on!

[@stuartlew1229]

how did you get on with the mini flywheel ... if its still stuck i have seen some vids were you heat it up under tension then put a hose pipe on it to shock cool the part and it comes off

[@martinstone3656]

Dont ever stop doing cossie motors, just the best looking motor

[@MIB-iy6qq]

The more Cosworth's you show, all the better for me guy's, bring them on 👌👍👍👍

[@SharonD369]

I could easily watch 40, 45 minutes of Barum Engines lol so interesting 👌

[@jbbumpkin]

The K series issue with the liners moving when the engine is turned with the head off is not a new problem! Standard Triumph engines from the Vanguard family are the same! Thankfully, most engines are now over sixty years old and rings worn so they don`t tend to drag the liners up with them!

[@superbrit3845]

At last a positive post and one that's not full of negativity via court cases etc.

[@scottwood1388]

like the channel, its like dropping in to see what the neighbors are up to. Just a suggestion maybe do a video on what makes the Cosworths so special.

[@onenuttybuddy]

Guys, I noticed the floor is beginning to collect a few bins with parts inside. I can't imagine how difficult it is to keep it all sorted and stored, all of time. You might want to take another stab at keeping the floor clutter to a minimum. Easy to slip back into old habits. Thanks for the update. As Isaac mentioned, I too would like to see the complete install of a dry sump including the oil reservoir too. Anything you can show us would be appreciated. Take care. I hope all is well with your families and friends! Alan from NC, USA

[@jamesarmitage8399]

For anything rs500 watch Paul Linfoot...the guru in these!!

[@ataxpayer723]

Gotta love how you are starting to "store" engine blocks in front of the emergency/fire exit! : )

[@spyder_man]

Thats the Barum emergency engine block, its in the right place 👍🏻

[@brianpender7872]

Lee the uprated head gasket kit I youse to fit on these engines came with metal gasket and dowels and it was like a thermo glue coated gasket aswell that done the water and oil sealing on these engines! Big difference these made and to be honest never had a problem with them resolved old head gasket problems

[@berndanacker]

Nice clean floor

[@Ibh111142]

Love this show, so real and informative

[@jacoblammas7223]

Looking forward to seeing the A-series can you spend some stream time on them please😊

[@bobuncle8704]

Cossie heaven. Love it

[@doncodman913]

Lee ....A lot of the alloy parts could be bright nickel plated or chromed .. ooooo chrome !!!! rgds Don Codman

[@rockydavies9555]

A engine is a engine its the work i like

[@gothicpagan.666]

Anything beats walking

[@ianpumphrey5041]

Re K-Series Lee. In 1989 the first K's had steel hollow dowels (1.1+1.4's). No HGF. BMW introduced nylon dowels on K and TD5 for some reason....can't imagine what that was... anyway, steel dowels yes, did Rover power train want to fit them, no. Draw from that what you need to, but no, it was not their wisdom - try Munich.

[@garychilds1130]

It's good to see a proper job someone using spanner and ratchet rather than air tools on everything

[@deancooper7952]

Could'nt have put it better myself , lazyness is a curse , strips threads and snaps bolts and studs

[@The_BenboBaggins]

I've still got a set of spacers to hold the K-series liners in place with the head bolts - used for when you're washing the mayo out of the head! 😅

[@Airgunfunrich]

That Merc engine is one reason when I used to build engines, when I stripped them I would put all nuts an bolts in zip lock bags labelled with what they were for/from so if for whatever reason I couldn’t be in work someoelse would have half a chance of reassembling it

[@David-jz5iy]

“All done they said” 😅 good luck with getting the scooby running 🚗 💥💨

[@STANLIZ4]

Must say, the workshop refit has been worth every penny promoting the business, compared with other workshops on YT. Looks great every time I see it

[@donaldhalls2189]

Could you show how the Dry Sump works, I think that would be cool, 😂 as Izak said, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@mrb3483]

Some tasty motors getting built there lee,crank grinding when you can film it next please.😎

[@stephengreatbatch1269]

I would like to see how you put the dry sump on a full how to video maybe 🤞

[@Google_Is_Evil]

We are expecting a full video report of Isaacs trip on Saturday and the engine going back in the Scooby. Really, for character building, he should be the one putting it in with some guidance from Chris!.

[@DK-bh4yh]

Have you ever had a BDA engine from the classic escorts or even old lotus twin cam engines? The place looks so much better with the engines all in a neat row.

[@shoominati23]

You should call the business The Cossie Posse , or maybe 'Scort Sport. But I like the first one better , maybe it could be a byline for the business lol 😃🤔

[@terencehawkes3933]

Did you get the flywheel of that Mini engine?

[@garychilds1130]

You need a 3 rd channel for the cossworth

[@spyder_man]

Unusual the K series blowing a head gasket 😊 😋

[@nicksmith5354]

Nice to see a positive interesting show not the doom & gloom problem customer stuff. Cheers Re subcribed.

[@kjbunnyboiler]

How do you treat/clean the water galleries?

[@Kalus_Saxon]

More power to weight than a Diane abbot

[@arobinson1977]

Why have a dip stick on a dry sump?

[@The-Mattman]

Left mine in, just tapped a stainless pan head hex bolt in top, looks quite good me thinks

[@ouroborosirvington]

What will you do when the EPA come for you?

[@granddadmark7639]

Merc sound interesting 😅

[@RussellMurrow-mk8tw]

We used 205 blocks on the pintos are they the same blocks as the cosis

[@fredflintstone8048]

At the rate the cost of parts for the Cossies are rising you'll need to hire armored cars to deliver them.

[@Peugeot_Lion_Atelier]

670hp at Dick Johnson Racing. Remember that his was the fastest in the world.

[@bradleyscales]

Hate to break it to you but that's definitely not a billet front wheel on the t4 cosworth

[@kiwibobnz9812]

You don’t put the pulley on prior to tightening the front cover

[@weegaz22]

Only counts if you can put that power to the floor...

[@Phuc_Yhou]

When you can remember breaking Cossies made more money than selling a complete car that in turn cost more to insure than the value of the car 😵

[@richardhartley1705]

👍👍

[@grahamwright6813]

the scoop why don't you all sign in and raffle it off

[@frlfda]

Mate, do you ever get involved with any of the V8 Cosworths? I know they are race units, but I've heard of them showing up in track day cars, hill climbers and the like.

[@rudey24-74]

😎👌

[@dallas6847]

😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍

[@aussie1926]

Love to see a cozzie modernised. Proper ecu. Moden turbo and injector setup. Would shit all over these periord correct engines.

[@bigturboxr3i]

Tis the greatest KZbin channel....

[@mickkidston7344]

oh dear, propagating the k series myths, it's a lot more complicated than "they had plastic dowels" ,some did some didn't, and the liners , some were full wet, some were damp, depends on the engine size and year as rover didn't want to pay for a new block to accommodate larger bores
