Chris is so thorough that he finds the small change even when its hidden in the sump. 😊

[@philipsearls1946]

That engine is like the Guy who drank his wages on a Friday, Woke up Saturday, Piston Broke. Great job guy's. Thumbs up.

[@coadyg]

You guys are lucky that pump primed up without following the priming process.

[@williamclay5615]

whats with the white trainers ? style statement over crushed toes ? leave em to the teenagers 🙂

[@gdfggggg]

I use crocks, much safer.

[@roy2689]

Here's a tip for those CSC slave cylinders, before you mount the cylinder into the bell housing put the cylinder in a vice just gently nip one of the mounting lugs, with the inlet facing directly upwards put a small funnel into it and tip some clutch/brake fluid in and squeeze the cylinder in and out you'll see air bubbles come out and the fluid go down, do this several times until it is primed, put the plug back in that comes with the CSC and then fit it in the bell housing, when your ready pull the plug and quickly fit the pipe, bleeding then takes 5 mins or so...

[@stephen579]

The more I see you working on these modern cars/engines, the more I love my Morris Minor.

[@alanheneghan7502]

All modern cars are just a mass of failure points made out of plastic.

[@oscarscomputersandgames4712]

The bits falling out of the sump when you cleaned it out 😂

[@Pete1965]

Rob "Am I gonna pull this while your pushing, Chris "I've lubed up" I love it !😂

[@knoxyish]

got to love the shrapnel coming out of the sump pan!! another good one rob and chris !

[@hydorah]

Lovely teamwork getting that engine into its new home. Shame the breakers were A) so expensive. B) Such animals!

[@yvindHvaal]

I love watching you guys working together, no big arguments or profanities, cool and friendly at all times even when the going gets tuff. Even buying a lemon doesen't get you off track. And in the end you make a nice profit. It doesen't get much better than that! Keep 'em comin' guys😊

[@garyhoward2628]

Middle for diddle that saying brought back memories of my Dad. It was his favourite saying with anything not often you hear it nowadays, thanks for the memory revisit. Love the content

[@Ro32da72]

Same mate, I've inherited 'middle for diddle' from my dad, and it brought a smile to hear Chris use it. We have to carry on with these old sayings ❤ got to keep the young'uns guessing 😂

[@martinwilliams4354]

Fantastic work as always, and the trainers are still gleaming white. 😂

[@MrJasdog107]

Brilliant couple of videos you should be well proud bringing truck back to life.

[@davidthompson882]

Surprised not more people screaming change the vane oil pump for a geared one, been a 3.2 owner that’s all you ever hear

[@ianfinch1522]

Definitely agree I’m sure as mentioned previously the vane pumps are a real issue with these engines and is well documented people changing to a geared pumps. Nice easy upgrade with the engine out. Also they recommend with the vane pump oil should be changed within 15 minutes. I’d lay money on the original pump being the reason for the failure. Also egr issues with these engines.

[@davidthompson882]

@@ianfinch1522 they do have their issues but as do all vehicles tbh I’ve been on the fence to have my pump done as with what the guys found out a replacement engine is damn expensive

[@Wiltshire-observer]

Well done chaps ! Another phoenix rises from the ashes !. It’s a smart vehicle, often fancied one myself, but I would need to be neighbours with you chaps to deal with any eventualities!.

[@barrywood5357]

The effort that you two wizards put into every project is to be commended. Lots of people would have broke that vehicle up for spares and made a bunch of money. yes it happens from time to time but you have saved another one from the scrap heap. Well done boys

[@JAYG6390]

God knows how many cars you've got running from being toast, and still get a kick out of each new one which is great to see. Another great repair lads!

[@ralphfell2119]

Chris, for goodness sake buy Rob some safety boots!! and fine him every time he turns up in trainers!!

[@eddiereed5025]

Safety trainers I wear them every day

[@willh9386]

💯 something drops on his shiny white sneaks he’s screwed

[@craighorton6387]

Chris you will have to buy rob a highchair from Early learning centre so he can see what he's doing 😂😂

[@UmarWaqasAli]

Up and running . Converted an auto to a manual . Got it first started with the booster . Smashed it out the park

[@jamesmoirano4271]

Superb work fellas! Love the shot of you both waiving through the hole in the engine 😂😂😂

[@ianrobertwhinnett158]

I think what impresses me most are your white trainers Rob😂!

[@googlecontrolled]

A decent amount of shrapnel in that old sump.😊

[@charliemanson4808]

23:18 cant beat the old Top Don boosters. I have one for my bike that leaches electric and started my mates Dodge Ram Cummins diesel with it!

[@chrissayers1075]

Rob, your enthusiasm is infectious ! Youre like a kid at Christmas every time you fire up a non runner, its great to watch. Keep up the great videos, its brilliant content and lovely to watch how you 2 get these wrecks up and running again :)

[@Anita-gp1gv]

Lol yeah nice and positive huh .

[@pysgodfish]

Love the disappearing Chris at 15.07 - and reappering the other side a few seconds later!

[@trevorjarvis3021]

That was true old school but with new equipment and what a huge amount of work it involved. Total credit to you Rob and Chris, absolutely brilliant. Oh and expertly caught on camera. 👍😊

[@philipmulville8218]

Yes, camerawork was excellent. What a great channel.

[@pomnichowski]

🖐🏽Thanx Chris&Rob! You fellas are the best!

[@donaldgibson3135]

I thought there was a procedure to prime the oil pump on these if the oil isn't replaced within 10 minutes?

[@phejom]

Yup there is

[@deanhickling3814]

I love how Chris keeps his work space always clean, top channel lads keep up the good work 👍

[@basedsigma5634]

Lexus v8 & gearbox with factory harness and ecu fitted and turnkey complete conversion done for £2500. here in south africa, very common and widespread alternative to crazy OEM prices.

[@paulwatts2192]

When Chris took off the sump on your old engine all bits of metal rattle into the bucket.That engine did go bang.

[@vernonmatthews181]

I think @ "10:40" Chris has had his daily workout ❤ A pity the breakers don't show a little more care and whether its man vs auto. Ford dropped the manual production as I seem to remember. In my native NZ the best breakers yard in south Auckland use to sell large Toyota/ Hino engines in the front showroom complete on stands. Thanks for the world 🌎 class presentation 👏 as always ❤

[@ged3680]

Good evening Rob and Chris, that was a right cliff-hanger but you did it in the end, well done to you both. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@dominicwebb8000]

Hope Chris is all ok, looked a bit hacked off towards the end of this one. Probably more shattered than hacked as that’s a full hard days work. Great video once again, to think how far this channel has come from Robs Ferrari rebuild.

[@tonygould580]

The last engine swap I did was an A Reg 950cc fiesta about 30 years ago, and it was an absolute walk in the park compared to modern engines. 4hrs total.

[@leefabris9290]

Hi Guys just a little info here in OZ my mate Paul had his motor blow up when he towed it to Ford there was 3 or 4 others waiting to get a new motor because there was a faulty oil pressure sensor people would drive thinking it was all ok but in fact low oil blew motor the repairs were done under warranty here with a new motor no recall all done on the quiet by Ford regards Lee

[@kevinthacker8349]

Always beings the smile, when a replacement engine starts up first time.

[@paulm3965]

With the surgical precision, the replacement engine is installed. Top marks with the assistant’s of robs foot. Good to hear the engine fire into life. Excellent video informative as usual.

[@brianallan1036]

Chuckle brothers,To me to you,Just joking you guys a brilliant.

[@elbridget6304]

You should change the original vane oil pump to geared oil pump this motor notorious for oil pump failure in SE many people buy this ford with this engine change the oil pump to geared pump ......

[@paultaylor9652]

Me to you, you to me 😂 great communication and video guys.

[@robinradford8581]

Nice to see Rob and Chris having a chuckle brother's moment 'to me to you' 😂 well done lads!!!

[@mondodaftasabrush]

I would have wrote on the clutch in marker pen oh no not again for it to put a smile on the next mechanics face when it blows up again in the future

[@googlecontrolled]

Or how about... " This clutch has been a clutch too long" 😊

[@michaelhynds8035]

Always great to see how these gentlemen work so well together.

[@AI-Records24]

I cannot wait until I’m as proficient as you two. I’m 4 years in now decided to start in 2020 for obvious reasons, I give everything a go but for some tools etc it’s easier to get my mate to do in his garage. New unit happening in 8 weeks with a ramp, can’t wait. Thanks a lot for sharing everything you do, free learning!

[@amberleafsgreatgifts5077]

You know Rob just as you were going to try the engine for the second time you said 3-2-1 ....a bloody youtube add started 🤣

[@johnbratley6926]

Ford ranger and bargepole come to mind. Given the number of engine failure Ford are long overdue some engine modifications or new unit from scratch.

[@williamlloyd3769]

Great job, glad things are going to plan for you!

[@14774neo]

You would be better changing the oil pump to a geared pump as the vane pumps don't prime themselves

Nice work Rob And it always so good when a plan comes together

And so you should smile!! Another great video guys,most enjoyable. "Thanks"👍

Great result - again! Well done!

[@johndavey72]

You both get better and better .......what a team ! 💖

[@coffeeguy6673]

A customer of mine has recently been left with a huge bill for his leased Ford Ranger, something to do with failure of the wet belt he said. Anyway, the belt snapped on the motorway and blew the engine, he said he was lucky to get to the hard shoulder without losing control of the vehicle. Ford don't want to know and the lease company are blaming him !! Crazy.

[@hedydd2]

How did you prime the oil pump? These engines are notorious for not picking up oil after more than ten minutes with an empty sump. In those ten minutes that the sump is drained, the oil filter needs changing and oil refilled in the sump. Otherwise another seized engine beckons.

[@Belboy]

Love the Channel, best on KZbin if you ask me. I enjoyed this one especially as it shows how well you both work together and get on with. Thoroughly enjoyed the Teamwork/ dream work element guys . 👏👏👏

Brilliant team, great friends. Really enjoyed this 😊

[@alan2489]

Hi guys should’ve replaced the oil pump when had sump was off... Great video tho 🤙🏻

[@captainotto]

That would definitely be better. If I was looking for a new truck and saw a Ranger with a proper pump, I'd be very interested. I was wondering how they primed the pump. I've heard of people doing that by filling through the oil filter housing but would love to see it be done. I know they must have done it as well or this engine would be dead too.

[@hedydd2]

@@captainotto I’ve just posted a comment that almost mirrors yours. Great minds think alike. LOL

New engine sounds great - it’ll soon be another vehicle finished. Great work 👍

[@stevenjones1972]

Hello Rob and Chris, it starts (YES),great video.that engine was alot of moving around but fitted.with a good clean it will look awesome.

[@stephenricketts7764]

It is always good to check and double check when swapping an engine especially as the new one was out of an automatic. Some people say 'don't grease the spline' but I say as long as you don't put too much grease on then it does make life a bit easier with a big heavy engine like that one. I agree with Rob it is so nice to hear it fire up, so satisfying. You 'wanged it over' and 'job's a good en'. Great video Rob and Chris you two have a really good working relationship which is great to see. I will be looking forward to the final video on this one Gents. 👍👍

[@mistermikeanson]

Watching that engine getting dropped in and it firing up afterwards!! Yess!! Excellent!!
