SHED RACING - Hall and Scott

Disaster with the Hall+ Scott. Split pin in the oil pump meant we had to take the engine to pieces for the second time.
Split pin escaped from gudgeon pin. Fitted pistons from spare engine, in preparation for Kop Hill.

[@russellnixon9981]

Never a dull moment with Ivan and John, its like CS I. with engines.

[@arielsaeth]

Octogenerian Forensic detective of defective 110 year old engines, brilliant, has given me incentive to strip a Triumph tiger 110 engine that suddenly lost compression a few weeks ago. here I go

[@simonbertioli4696]

No, a lot lot lot....better than CS... This is real....CS is fiction 😅😅😅😅👍

[@martinda7446]

@@arielsaeth Good luck with the Triumph. (Belatedly).. What was it? Broken ring? Valve seat? Valve?

[@billspence1799]

Like the whole thing! Since tinkering with a 1027 Austin Seven in the late fifties I have played with spanners but you two young men fill me with admiration. May we all live for many more episodes.

[@Krotte96]

You always need a lucky black cat to show where the real priorities of life lie. Food, fun and mechanics. A superb video all round!

[@nobodynoone2500]

Might want a bit of anti-corrosive in the coolant, that water was a bit red for my liking. Otherwise good work. We have all made mistakes, and if we are any good, we will have opprotunity and experince to make some more. Glad to see progress, and what a deal on that engine!

[@chrishartley1210]

Waiting to see where this split pin came from! And so nice of Tanya to say Hello while John was filling the radiator.

[@badbooks476]

Superb detective work & spannering, love how the hall & Scott is almost made to measure to fit the van

[@cgee3999]

I haven’t got a clue about engines but somehow it’s extremely interesting watching this amazing character, it humbles me🙏

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Amazing. Old school mechanics, no oil pressure just drive it easy to the next mates house. So much gold in here.

[@davidblake1663]

This is better than anything on telly. Two young lads messing about with spanners.

[@jesscourt9068]

Just gets better and better. The production, sound, music and content is first class, thank you.

[@johnacton5417]

Superb production, loved the black cat, choice of music and some lovely personal touches. There is nothing not to like about this either in the production or the aspects of engine building. Wonderful!

[@garypoulton7311]

Excellent, thanks Ivan and co. Look forward to the next Hall and Scott installment

[@nazdagg2027]

yes, got me curious now. what you call a split pin, we call a cotter pin. did you find the whole pin or just the legs?

[@stevewilliams2498]

@@nazdagg2027 It looked like they found 3 pieces. Including the loop end. Suggests it might have come out of something. We shall have to wait for the next episode.

[@malcolmtill]

Watching you and John working together is an absolute joy to behold you each know where you need to be right on que and Tania's filming and editing is also a great pleasure to enjoy. Thanks to all of you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us out here in Tubeland

[@julesviolin]

Fantastic old school engineering 👌 Wish I could give them my Mactool impact cordless !!! It saves so much time and we engineers always need more time ❤

[@coldwarmotors]

Always look forward to the latest from Shed Racing! Too bad it all had to come apart, but at least we get to see more of this beautiful engine and car! All the best from the colonies.

[@davida877]

Thank you great work - love the Van tail light mods and the oil filter cover - “Put it somewhere safe” love it - Regards

[@loddude5706]

Afraid that my ears stood up when you said the big ends 'were pinned' . . . after finding that 'corpus delecti' in the pump, I'd have been wading around the sump pan in my Hall & Scott wellies, while gazing upward with a big torch . . . & counting. : )

[@douglasrichardson8525]

Those little words 'I put it away safely' (never to be found again) me too !!!

[@markgoddard2560]

Being English, when I saw the title “shed racing” I took it literally. However, though disappointed that there was no racing of motorised sheds, this turned out a real treat instead. Subscribed.

[@gazzafloss]

Sorry to see that you're having problems with the Hall-Scott engine Ivan. A mate of mine had a similar problem with his '63 E Type Jag engine, the split pins in the castellated big end bolts were a bit undersized and the reciprocating motion caused them to wear away and fall out into the sump. Most of them stayed in the sump at the bottom, but one piece got pulled through the pump suction screen and jammed the oil pump causing it to seize. Great video Ivan and John, I always look forward to your next installment.

[@isickofit]

The heat treatment of welded hardened steel is an art in itself.

[@chasevans7171]

FFS don't let the cat near that anti freeze. Poisons the poor blighters. Love the Hall and Scott. Superb. P.S. get a moroso oil filter cutter. Like a tin opener, no hacksaw swarf to confuse things.

[@jimeditorial]

Ivan, years ago I rebuilt an ex-Nascar Chevrolet V8 and it had 5 stages of scavenging in the dry sump system. The pickup for the lifter valley had a small screen epoxied over it. The system was designed to isolate the valve train lube system from the rest of the engine, so a dropped valve wouldn't frag the rest of the engine. You sure were lucky with the oil pump! Perhaps the cat has something to do with it!

[@asciimation]

I like how modern to Ivan is 1960s! I've rebuilt a couple of pre war engines now and the most nerve wracking thing is seeing if you have oil pressure or not when it's actually running. You can tell if the valves open and close and the pistons won't hit the head by hand and not having spark won't matter, it just won't start, but no oil is my biggest fear. In my Riley engine I had the opposite issue, too much pressure. I have a modern filter on it (and I need to steal your disguising it trick) and it blew out the filter o ring and oil went everywhere. No damage done luckily.

[@ryanrodgers1826]

hi Ivan Johns gold to your setup good show keep um coming thank you

[@christianmccollum1028]

What a fantastic video. Can't wait to see where the spit pin came from. Much respect from Texas.

[@portcruiser]

Cheers from Portugal ! Never a dull momento watching your videos ! This one was even more special ! What about the Salmon you bought in Portugal ! Keep that spirits high ! Cheer again to you and John !

[@lauriecooper8194]

Great stuff, good old fashioned spannering - and what a brilliant cat.

[@desmondshackel7028]

Another great video. I like seeing all the different bits of engineering hidden inside. The music during the tear down seemed very fitting.

[@marshalldonnell7472]

Been a longtime waiting for another Shed and this was one of your best. Well planned, filmed and put together. Congrats to Tanya, keep them coming.

[@anthonywilson4873]

Love the show love you guys you get it done. We used to use an oil filter cutter to open filter, s it does not pollute the filter with metal from a saw it works like a tin opener. You can buy them for low money on the web. Nice tool I think you would like one.

[@zubeystinzen540]

You guys are a rare breed & so meticulous & accurate in your method I just love watching & listening to your voice,you explain things perfectly ❤️ good luck with the re-rebuild 👍

[@nigelsears7191]

now thats a clever modification on the van beautifully done as we have come to expect from Ivan and John , looking forward to the next part of the hall and scott , keep up the great filming Tanya

[@tonycamplin8607]

If as you said the bigends bolts are locked in with split pins surly you should have taken the sump off and checked them?

Again, excellent episode. You take me back to my engine fumbling days with my; in those days, Lotus 7. I’m now also in my 80 but no longer yearn for the sounds and smell of a car workshop. I did work for Speedwell Conversions in Finchley for a time, Graham Hill was a director in those days. Just for a second there, while you were climbing into the car, you reminded me, facially, of my absolute Hero, Sir Stirling Moss. Am spreading the word as often as possible and looking forward to your next episode. Thanks.

Thankfully I’ve never had cause to open an oil filter, but doesn’t that get a bit messy? I can see that it wouldn’t be adding any contaminants. Cheers.

[@dufus7396]

Finding a split pin in the sump..tear down yes immediate

[@rotax636nut5]

It's illogical to check the oil filter for swarf, if the pump stopped working then the oil circulation must have stopped, then if any damage was done running without oil, there would be no oil passing through the filter and therefore no metal swarf will be in the filter from any damage

[@cavemanballistics6338]

Me being ASE certified master technician for over 45 years, I would not be able to sleep at night, wondering where that Cottor key came from! As many of those as I seen you put in that engine when you were assembling it, it came from inside that engine somewhere, I would not rest until I pulled that thing apart and found out where.

[@johnballantyne3231]

Please guys, don't weld inside that wonderful shed! It would be an absolute tragedy to lose it.

[@darkhorsegarage9623]

Kid that cleans our shop lost the oil drive on his mustang. We told him to cut the oil filter and look for metal particles. He came back all upset that there was metal in the oil filter. He used a hack saw to cut the filter. 😅
