Rolls-Royce Engine Starts After 13 Years!

This is part 2 of the progress on the FV432 that has been left abandoned for 13 years!

[@LOKI-vk5hx]

Awesome what a great way to start a Sunday. Lying in bed bacon butties strong sweet tea. And latest epistle from Mr Hewes and the crew. Sod the ice and frost I am stying here

[@raegaldorn7681]

Sounds like an epic sunday, Enjoy 👍🏻😊

[@muddyboots1881]

Comment of the year imho 👍

[@kensjobs2237]

Exceptional work as always Mr hewes, not many people can excite a starter motor 😅👌

[@johnhammond9455]

I have no idea how I came to watch your videos. The KZbin algorithm must work well because I'm really enjoying them. (Leaving a comment in the hope of nudging the algorithm a bit more.)

[@mcjdubpower]

You are living your best life 💯🔥😃💪👌😀

[@pl1068]

The 432 exhaust was just the right size for heating our cans of food in. We would drop in five cans then 20 minutes later rev the engine out to retrieve them 😊 good times.

[@Icebuntrucker]

Joe uploading a video early on a sunday makes me think he is out rescuing another classic piece of automotive history ,

[@Willheheckaslike]

Brilliant. There is nothing better than an engine starting after some well informed spannering. Great result Joe. Well done mate.

[@schwabrichard9829]

You are a mechanical genius Joe! Another near death recovery!!!!

[@keithsmith4236]

Have to agree on your take on the starter. The amount of people who will discard perfectly serviceable items such as starte motors without even pulling them apart to clean brushes and free off a stuck bendix is unreal. Engine purrs just lovely. Look forward to seeing it re installed. Great content

[@davidgibbings6085]

K60 music on a Sunday, who could ask for more , nice one joe 👍😉

[@chox2001]

Amazing how the engine has no movement under acceleration.👍👏

[@johnnunn8688]

Gearbox not connected 🤣😂.

[@Wayoutthere]

Very nicely balanced indeed. A good engine.

[@johnnunn8688]

Is it geared so the cranks turn in opposite directions?

[@amandagardner565]

back around 1996 my partner had a work visit to an Australian Army base, she was offered a ride in a Leopard tank, before setting off around the test track they warned her that she might not be used to the rolling of the tank. while going over he rough parts of the track she was laughing her head off, they of course asked what was funny, she told them her beloved 1961 Wolseley 6/99 rolled about a damn sight more on the public roads than their tank did on the test track.

[@ppf_services]

@@johnnunn8688 Cranks turn the same direction but phased 180 deg... amazing engine...

[@zanderboy]

the knowledge that you have on these machines is mental Joe, and the rest of the guys and girls

[@richardhasler6718]

Impressive as always Mr H!

[@jlytollis4]

Love the sound..bring back memories of me learning on these machines back in the day with the 3RRF Germany and doing my YTS with their REME section..

[@TheFatNumpty]

Amazes me every time how you and the lads manage to get these engines going again with, as you say, just some WD-40 and time. Excellent 👌

[@robertclarke8631]

Quality and i love the attitude have a go and make it work

[@geordiegeorge9041]

Well that took me back a few years. Our 432s were MK1s with the petrol engine. I only ever saw one runaway, and that was on an M110 with a Detroit Diesel engine. Quickly pull the air filters out and stuff combat jackets into the air intakes.

[@greenbimoon]

That's how I like to fix old vehicles, remove, clean, oil/grease, replace. More time involved than just changing out a part, but I think better results.

[@Sheffcolelectric]

Brings back many memories hearing that purring

[@donaldross4217]

Another great start I used to do this with old car and bike engines on the floor of my dads garage It amazed people to see a running engine sitting on a concrete floor with no car about But you guys are on another level Keep up the great work , I knew a ex tank mechanic that would have loved to spend a day with you guys But sadly not with us now But I still remember him telling me all the tricks and bush fixes he had used to get things going

[@Pepe46873]

Looks like a dual crank engine?? Popular design back in the day for compact power

[@unclefranko2452]

Hi chaps , that motor sound great 👍 , Army maintenance is the reason the engine started and runs after 13 years 😊 regards Frank ps love the vids keep em coming.

[@keefer12360]

And another reason it started…..built by Rolls Royce…nuff said😊

[@johnblunt1834]

I've messed with a few engines over the my life, but how did you manage to fix that so fast! Unmentioned skills and experience I suspect. Great vid. Well done.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Brilliant, love these big engines being brought back to life. To my untrained ear that sounded awesome. Thanks. Andy UK

[@legbreaker2762]

And that ladies and gentlemen, is what a win looks like.

[@ianb6595]

Again you’ve got to be chuffed getting it running, couldn’t see anything leaking from the camera view, as you have said before time and patience with a bit of knowledge cures everything, top job Mr Hewes

[@kevrymell6636]

Brilliant job - love watching Joe and the team one of the most informative channels on mechanics on KZbin

[@phimister78]

The engine had a fascinating rhythm

[@mattcartwright8272]

Stuck starter motor. Bit of a classic prob on the 432s. Hence keeping a handy hammer on the piano covers so you could whip them off and apply some gentle encouragement to the starter motor. Seemed to do the trick most times!

[@MrHewes]

Interesting. You must have had a incredible modified hammer 🤣

[@mattcartwright8272]

@@MrHewes Well,,,I use to hit the crap out of something (which i thought was the starter motor) and it seemed to do the trick! 🤔

[@stuartrich4574]

Great video, love watching you, your knowledge is amazing

[@mhomho1979]

Well done, now it's running can you slap it into my ford escort for me, I'm sure it would fit.

[@DavidSkidmore-e5t]

Never ever will a ev motor create so much joy.. passion and downright never say die of diesel / petrol motors...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 well done again lads

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Yeah an electric tank,,,, that would go really well,, for amybe 5 minutes

[@garypoulton7311]

You are a smart man, love your videos. Thanks

[@Its.true1]

We all knew you would get it running as that is what you are known for ie getting the old girls working again 👌👍

[@markclifton14]

Another great success Guys . Just goes to show you . Take a little time and you can get it running without spending a fortune on new parts. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@stephensmith4480]

It sounds as sweet as as a Nut once it got running for a bit and as you say No expense. Great job as usual.

[@Jin-Ro]

Last two vids were excellent. Love watching the fault finding and cure. Genius with an engine.

[@chrisbarnes2823]

After starting at Royce’s in the 70’s I was eventually taken to the Dark Side of MTU’s in Canada on equipment here.

[@peterthomas120]

Engine sounds great ball of fire and a trail of smoke keep them videos coming

[@FrontSideBus]

01:30 Is that an actual oiling point for the throw out bit under that big flat head screw on the end cap? I love the sound of the supercharger on these things!

[@barrydavis3044]

Your a man after my own heart just make it work. 🤘.

[@al-azimahmed1188]

Dude you and the gang need to be on discovery channel, its not just the yanks who are mechanical masterminds. Good effort lads.

[@wideyxyz2271]

Nice work as always chaps and she sounds really good!

[@bobuncle8704]

What a great sounding engine

[@andrewsteele7663]

Thanks, really enjoyed watching it come to life, Cheers

[@teamidris]

Can’t hate on that engine, it’s very clean running for an old design :o)

[@dr.chrismort8448]

Excellent video guys👍. You really know your engines. Brilliant

[@brianaroe]

Love it! Sound very healthy. Can’t wait to see it t back in the apc and moving under its own power.

[@alanbeckett4]

That little yellow crane was worth getting then! Crane and engine test platform in one..

[@deanedeane4318]

Awsum Job Lads !!! and you didn't drop the tea mug off the jump pack !!! Very happy motor !!! 😉😎

[@shaneyork5686]

Well done boys that's a runner,sounds sweet

[@lascm5237]

Good old fashioned quality engineering - sounds really sweet 😁

[@stevesalvage1089]

Brilliant learning all the time , experience is golden , well done most people wouldn't have a clue lol 😮

[@assassinlexx1993]

That is what you call a dirty gem. We use a old dolly with multiples batteries and a charger all in one. Not in use , it is charging. But easy to roll out . Use old welding cables. So no lifting batteries. So you can give her all the juice, she can handle.⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

[@wrecknor]

A tip since you guys have so many projects. When uploading the next episode of a project, perhaps have a naming scheme? Perhaps something like "APC: RR Engine starts after 13 years". [Project]:[Title] type ? It's easier for the viewers to follow along :) Happy new year!

[@owencrouch3899]

You should put that engine on your defender joe 👌🏻

[@CriticoolHit]

Awesome! I'd love to see you do this engine-out run with the T34 engine rebuild.

[@anemone104]

Fixing problems by actually fixing them, not by substituting new parts in until the problems go away......

[@willtricks9432]

Another Sunday treat. Cheers

[@thomasfx3190]

It surely does sound nice after sitting so long!

[@tonyhill4984]

ACE I miss my 432 in Germany, 33C out

[@Plu54f0x]

Awesome work, engine sounds so sweet!

[@simonholmes3456]

Good work chaps

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great work, sounds spot on 👌, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@1chish]

...... when people know what they are doing. Well sort of 👍👍

[@JustinMF11]

That was a treat right there. Thanks for the great video.

[@annechristiansen941]

Thank you very much for the video.👍🤗👍🇸🇯

[@MARTINA-gc3tq]

A nice way to start my birthday.

[@KenLozgetlostonpurpose]

The only things that ever went wrong with these packs were heat exchangers and starters. As REME we did shit loads normally at night as the crew slept. Our only fun was to get new crew members to hang onto the edge of the fan table to stop the pack taking off as we ran it up outside the hull.

[@htimsid]

And it sounds marvellous!!

[@Ka9radio_Mobile9]

Happy New Year!🥰

[@leeaspin7799]

Spot on lads. Not even a can of easy start

[@peterwardle572]

A result, brilliant, just work at things before you shell out loads a money. And I love the sound of the engine, sounds like a big Commer TS3 from the 1950's.

[@byronlovesey1290]

Great vid as usual, always watch . Did you see there was a rolls Royce engine on Facebook market place this week up near you ?? There’s been one or two items on there which you might be interested in ?

[@johngell4842]

Bravo sounds good and a classic Ted mooching in the background ❤

[@joelduhaime4882]

Well done gentlemen

[@paulparker7419]

That's a fantastic sounding engine.

[@julianvasey1]

Beautiful sounding engine

Ahh that’s the drummer 🥁

Top Man, well done

[@nigelsears7191]

well done Ted marvellous job

[@copee2960]

Proper Job...well done Lads.

[@stephsmith6421]

Great little yellow work bench. Not a Foden however

[@fulwell1]

Great video - love to see stuff like this being kept in working order. I hope you don't think I am being cheeky, but I do have one suggestion - instead of WD40, can I suggest Bulldog BDX - it is a bit more expensive per can, but you use less of it overall. There is quite a following in the classic/vintage car scene as Bulldog will undo nuts/bolts that WD won't even touch.

[@laddtryck]

Awesome! And the video looks so good now with hdr and 60fps!

[@dereklaw3686]

Sounds great. 👍

[@russellletch7435]

Excellent what a star 👌

[@davidstewart1315]

times I've had to have the engine covers off for a pack lift non happy days 😄😆

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

Marvellous effort that👍

[@unanonymousperson2555]

I need to have an exciter wire attached to my body , it sounds augsilararting. Spelling part of my brain as well.

[@Wilko601st]

Thats the most impressive part....how many people would have kicked the tracks, tutted and said scrap it. Just shows knowledge, wd40 and MORE power gets the job done

[@dreb222]

I have to ask, how are you so knowledgeable on so many vehicles? What is your background? I am extremely impressed.

[@MrHewes]

Grew up on a farm, I had to learn fast

[@ptonpc]

Great sound :)

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Dear Joseph, Nice job that the engine is running again but to be frankly when she cranks what Elsemieke you expect from a Rolls Royce engine? This is exactly the reason why my friend chose such an engine for the huge generator he built. I wish you and your team lots of success with all the ongoing projects and send you love from the Netherlands

[@OmarFawcett]

It's all rather Mint! 👍🇦🇺

[@philkennedy342]

That’s pure engine porn to say it’s not run for that length of time👍👍👍

[@bertoltb1358]

As a wise man once said “What a babe!”. Good stuff lads.

[@markstott6689]

I do believe that you belong on the Mission Impossible team. It would appear nothing can defeat you when equipped with WD-40 and a full toolset. 😊❤❤❤😊

[@lecirus2140]

great succes !!

[@philmulrooney7020]

Sweet like chocolate, RR❤

[@chrisdavies1336]

Love waking up to Mr Hewes, giggity 😂
