Today on The Skid Factory, AL & Woody revisit their first project car that was released on KZbin.
Marks 1970 ZC Ford Fairlane was originally powered by a 302 Windsor but was swapped out for a Toyota 1UZFE V8 accompanied with a T66 Turbo.
It made 450HP at the wheels and has been a very reliable car for almost 3 years until recently when Mark had it painted and it sat at the panel beaters for a few months without being started.
Expecting the worst Mark decided to turn the wick up and throw some new parts at the 1UZFE including some new Rods, Pistons, Kelford Camshafts and a GTW3884 Turbo supplied by our mates at Golebys Parts.

My Subaru has a Allied sticker on it. Finally had someone in the Seattle area ask if I was a Skid Factory fan. I replied that I'm a fan of anything with Turbo Yoda and gave them the chopped sign. :)

What a Beautiful car! Been here since day 1 and some how knew this would eventually be back to get more horse puppies. Hell yes!

Awesome to see builds coming around full circle.

So nice to se the gal back. This has always been a very pretty build.

Mid 11’s with something so heavy is bloody awesome 👏👏👏

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Just want to say thanks for the awesome videos, really makes these tough times a bit easier having stuff like this to watch.

Looks like another great build to watch... I fkn love the outakes... crack up as!

Brings back the memories of the first episode I watched at the very begining of the channel :D :D . Shout out from Poland!

[@thenonoman]

"The boys have come to me yard!" Lol.

[@ingusrudniks3951]

It is possible maybe to relase stuck valve. Put the spark plug in, clock the engine in the way that is possible to fill combostion camber whith stuff from intake port. Mix the kerosene and a strong thinner 50/50 and plus 15% thin engine oil. Fill it up from intake port to be sure its in fluid walves leg. Check to not leak out to piston rings in crank case. Block intake hole whit some robber glove whith filling to close the hole. Thath staff is evaporates fast. Can do the trick.... Love your work..

[@simes007us]

I love that the shop is getting upgraded! It hots as balls in the summer there.

[@aSinisterKiid]

still looks freaking beautiful. love that color

[@tomrobson761]

Haha love the throw back to the backyard paver skid in the cressida 😄🤙

[@ziggassedup]

That's why is a good idea to run some premium thru the Alky system before parking them up for some time...Save a lot of grief with our sprint car back in the day..

[@hiblendmedia]

[@StuFletch68]

had a stuck valve in a 308 once, i filled it to the rocker covers with diesel, left it for a week, then left it drained for a day, fixed it! stopped it using oil too

[@dubCanuck1]

More turbo goodness! Keep on trucking boys!

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

i remember this car ...still looks amazing

[@seery188]

A length of rope in the plug hole will sort out them stuck valves, has to be on compression stroke though,

[@if66was99]

It's funny. When you guys work on these old Aussie Ford and Chevy's I see body lines and chrome pieces that look like 3 or 4 different American cars. But none of the whole cars look exactly like any 1 model of American. Who else sees a Galaxy 500 in those headlight bezels?

[@ibast1]

Yeah Australian Fairlanes were build off the "Canadian" Falcon base but had styling influences from American Fairlanes and Galaxies. The Galaxie would have been too big for the Australian market. Our family car (Falcon and Fairmont) was what you guys called a compact. These early Australian Fairlanes were a luxury compact with a longer bonnet and boot (trunk).

[@kamerad1985]

Running E10 1:200 with 2 stroke oil here. Works good as topoil and prevents corrosion.

[@RussellRobinson77]

Still one of my favourite builds to come from this channel 😁

[@vladsychev9971]

Love the builds! One of the best channels, keep up the good work!

[@BustedGeezerGarage]

You most likely already do it but we were required, back in the day of flex-fuel introduction at Ford, to use full synthetic oil for flex-fuel cars. Engineering reported that the alcohol washed regular oil off the cylinder walls causing cylinder scaring and piston damage. Not surprising to hear it causes valve train damage as well.

[@DanPellegrino486]

Woody never looks the same twice. You couldn't make a wanted poster of this guy if you wanted to. Great video as always guys.

[@robertsawyer2986]

that dam 8 ball gets everywhere

[@Chris-yy7qc]

Even on gasoline: Everytime you put your car into storage, make sure the engine is nice and hot (drive > 10 km) before you park it. Once in storage: Never start the cold engine for just a short period, shut it off and store it for a long time afterwards. Even without E85 the condensation happening will damage your engine.

[@jessebergunder]

This was the first and favorite. Turned out so clean. Gotta get more power i guess.

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

Thanks for the great entertainment lads ! Hope everyone is safe and well. Here last time you had this in the shop and I`ll be here the next time too ! = )

"M Y M I L K S H A K E S" Good to see the old Fairlane back. Not so good to see the state of the engine, mind, but the paintjob almost makes up for it and the upgrade plans get us the rest of the way.

[@if66was99]

The chrome is GORGEOUS on that thing! Wonder if he had it redone or it's original?

[@robywankenobi32]

did you guys use the existing pcv.crankcase ventilation routing? maybe ts not getting flow at idle and light revs, pcv is usually better (and legal) to get positive flow as long as the clean air inlet into the motor is before the turbo inlet

[@paulnorth9107]

Castor oil in the fuel will make it smell super nice

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

E85 fuel causing some valve guide sticking hey. Sounds like it needs some FUCHS Formula 60 oil. High film strength oil, ideal for engines using methanol and alcohol fuel. It's a bloody good product.

[@edhbmx]

If you do another 1UZ build with the Holley plenum hit me up through the ELATE MFG website, we are already working in a bolt on offering!

[@neilrevhead9941]

Castor oil That's a blast from the past

[@Imrahil94]

Hey mates! I run my cars daily on E85. I am curious when you say we should oil change more often when running on E85? I change oil every 10-15k kilometers. One is a Chevy LL8 Inline 6 block and the other a Mazda L5 4 cyl. =) Thanks for the amazing work, I learned so much thanks to you guys!

[@madmick3794]

Hell yes!

[@southjerseysound7340]

People ask me why I bother still running duel fuel and this is why. Ethanol can kill a motor if they don't get warm enough to get rid of the moisture and it's tough on injectors too. I stopped having problems with my Typhoon after I added a second small tank for gas. It's not hard to do and before I put the thing away I just flip a switch and use gas for the last few miles.

[@blakeh4691]

Are you able to use the old “valve saver” kits on this application like the old lpg kits had back in the day? Hope this could help.

[@RealsteelNZ]

Just re-watched the original build series to refresh the mind on this beast, and I have a question: you guys fitted the A340 automatic, what are the details on the shift control module you used? I'm putting a 1uz into my fj40 and stuck trying to sort an automatic box for it that's not too electronic, that module looked to be super simple, even a tractor mechanic like me should be able to fit it!

[@theskidfactory]

It uses an MV Automatics controller but you can also make your own. Google A340 shift controller.

I see a lot of the classic cars down under are four doors. Is that preferred or were the two door models not available?

[@ufi123]

a lot had two door variants but they are very very expensive now and are worth more in original condition

[@kberry3065]

@@ufi123 I understand. Here in the states you hardly ever see a modified four door. If you see one on the road they are left pretty much original. Odd how we are opposite in a way. Must be because if being north or south of the equator!😁

not related to this video at all but first thoughts on just adding a transfer case to a fwd car to make it a awd? for a paddock basher. obviously depends on car and case etc but should be doable right?

[@ardennielsen3761]

You say one thing I say another. The valve guides need the vacuum from the engine to pull a minimum amount of oil past the seals. Forced induction causes that vacuum effect to be lost... why even bother with putting valve seals in it!
