Carnage - Everything is Going Wrong With Supermang's Engine

We have plenty of good week's in the Carnage Workshop. This wasn't one of them. Everything we touched turned to mud, and by mud we mean... well you know what we mean. Maybe next week will be better.
Street Machine Carnage is all about having fun with cars. Sometimes it's serious performance, sometimes it's crazy fun, but it always interesting and done on a budget.

Hi I can see and hear a change in you, (it happens to us all), you appear to be burnt out after the big effort for Aust Day, please take an extended break, I’m sure we can all wait a bit for your next Video.😢

[@gavinspencer108]

Yeah I agree with you on that seen like he’s lost his spark.

[@brodiethrum7630]

His been looking a bit shit for some time now. Not a great deal of pride shown considering this is the face of Street Machine. Clean the workshop and the stinky parts washer, clean yourself up a bit, maybe consider a change of pants this year. Most of the carnage is preventable with proper planning and preparation 🤞

[@dan_wardy]

​@brodiethrum7630 Scotty is one of the most genuine blokes on KZbin and in the real world, and you want to come at him over pants?

[@Oodon1]

@brodiethrum7630 you must live in some perfect world mate. Shit house comment!

[@russellharrison6439]

Does appear to be a lot down needs some help to cheer him up RUOK

[@reverenddanger]

We’ve all had days at work like this. Thanks for pushing through and keeping it real

[@71honky]

"pick axe through every car in the place" love it Scotty you legend

[@LV-FOURTWENTYSIX]

Chin up Scotty, have a day off for a reset mate, bbq with the family, go fishing, whatever you do mate. We love the content but we love our mate Scotty even more. Your doing great. Cheers mate.

[@Dyno2480]

Hey Scotty, I love the content here and Scottys Garage, and I appreciate your ability to provide entertainment. We all have good and bad days. But I must ask a question, that I would ask any mate. R U OK? There is no need to answer here. But depending on the answer, the Carnage viewers are here for you.

[@honestpat7789]

It simply would not be a Friday morning without a little carnage… noticed and loved the new music too, but this video reminded me of the Kirk Douglas movie ‘Falling Down’ and Scotty looks ready to snap 😮 #supermangtheworld #fallingdown

[@AdamSWL]

^^Michael Douglas^^ Great film! 🙂

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

I thought that front plate was about to go flying, then Scotty thought better of it, being on camera and all. Never been one to throw parts myself, but certainly know the feeling when that anger boils up inside you.

[@dar3726]

Bit of a tip for you. When trying to undo a bolt that has been Loctited on , you must first heat the bolt up a bit as this will cause the Loctite to let go. This will save you a lot of grief. Take care, loving the build.

[@damienmills293]

Yep. True Dat!

[@id10t-q3f]

Blow torch for the win

[@yeahnahyeah7872]

Mapp gas FTW 🤙

[@monaromark1021]

True, heat around the snapped bolt.

[@jgrieve3282]

If you can add some heat to anything with Loctite it sometimes helps to release it, it'd have to be a pretty small flame for those counter sunk screws though.

[@TS50AU]

Watched the Loctite video last week, learned I've been using red when I should have been using blue, and if you need to break out a bolt locked in with red, heat it up first. Good luck!

[@brendoneggers5673]

Have yourself a break scotty. It can get abit much sometimes we've all been there, spent some time with your son and take a load off. We aint going anywhere mate 🍻

[@jamiebeckf]

I keep an old soldering iron for the purpose of heating up bolts in a non flamey way. Heat on Loctite is a winner.

[@mysticgreg]

Chin up Scotty, yeah that thing is kicking your arse right now but you've got this. The best thing about this channel is that it's REAL and not everything goes perfectly first time, shit just sucks sometimes. Definitely agree that you deserve a decent break sometime soon (although I know that's not always possible in the real world!), hope you get to relax soon. And glad to hear Alex is doing well!

[@GTS_1968]

I love these Scotty Coight videos. Funniest car content on KZbin.

[@theponkster]

I feel your pain Scotty - I have found left twist drills (not a wind up!) are brilliant at getting out stuck bolts - at worst they drill the head out but usually they grab and thread the bolt out - and as they heat up as they drill it helps with bolts with loctite on too.

[@tony66au]

The Kevin Bloody Wilson song "Ive had an ABSOLUTE C**t of a day" is playing in my head right now..... :-) Good brainworm for you Scott mate because I recon you need it....

[@tony66au]

Compliments of KBW :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6CYfKRmna-qsLssi=BmwcC25Eyglzxu2_

[@Nutty-w2k]

Hey Scotty, im a fan of both Carnage and your personal Channel you been going hard for quite some time the happy go lucky Scotty we all know isn't showing today, hats off to you full respect that you still deliver content keeping the audience watching. I'll be honest I couldn't do it and probably have a few broken parts here there everywhere having a dummy spit. You're still kicking goals, getting results smashing dead lines here and on your personal channel. We can wait brother for you to take some well earned rest after a massive effort for Aussie Day....spend some time with family and if you have too to keep your channel going go back to Scotty's story time a true die hard fan can wait to your back refreshed. We rather you well then running yourself into the ground. Family time, you can never get that time back, cars can wait, we can wait. Take it easy, brother..

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Appreciate that, thanks for the support.

[@Seeeeyaaaa]

Haha Scotty! Just one of those finer mechanical moments! I always marvel at how easily you seem to throw things together when im always struggling to get stuff like this done without having a minor catastrophe 😂

[@MattyP4x4]

Just a tip, you need to use a hand impact driver for oil pump screws, the style you use a hammer to drive the bit into the screw so that it creates positive drive and shocks the screw loose.

[@nath84xx]

Ohh well mate it happens to the best of us. It will be even sweeter when it's all done. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Love your work as always

[@TheRickyJohn]

amazing episode, have lived many of these types of "Episodes" during many builds over the decades :) keep up the good work.

[@brucerichards9102]

True to life Scotty, always enjoyable videos.

[@Liveleadplayer70]

last comment disappeared: just a little comment help the algorithm ..your well loved by all of us Scotty, and we'll be here when ya get back...simple as

[@CHINGY1993]

Keep it up scotty great work cant wait to see this new motor with the m90

[@vincestook104]

Thanks

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Thank you!

[@Tim-Wolfe]

Happy Friday!! only minor setbacks m8 - I'm absolutely manging to see what happens with this one, love a VN. Had mine for 18 years now 😀

[@zeropaloobatheuber1572]

The worst part was watching you learn about oil pump gear covers the same way I did-the hard way. My L67 powered VS has been parked up for over 5 years but the memories are still raw. I worked out a little hack you might find useful. I now use an impact torx bit and one of those drivers that you have to hammer. Works a charm. I’ve also heard that using two timing cover gaskets can give you enough clearance without the need for a thinner gear cover.

[@georgehemminger9432]

Honestly a Barra makes everything else look silly for the money... if only it sounded good 😂

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Very true

[@rosspane4542]

Scotty , you sound like you have had one of those weeks, we’ve all been there mate , take it easy & best of luck with your young fella I hope he is all OK 😁👍

[@1969Risky]

Small setbacks Scotty but in the end it'll be for big gains. No one likes cleaning engines & engine parts, but at least you film it, which many KZbinrs don't. When you have a limited budget, it's better trying to use the old parts by spending the time cleaning them as best as you can. Every person will tell you that they want to take pick axes through everything when there's setbacks. Keep going at it Scotty & it'll work out the way you want it in the end.

[@jenibond]

We still love you Scottie !!! xxxx And woooooo ! taxi !!!!!!!!!

[@Mouldyturnip75]

Walk away champion - take a moment to refresh, reset and come back with some pepp in your step! While you're away, get the hazmat team in to deal with that cleaning tank.......

[@Bigcountry_littlelegs]

Keep up the good work guys. Know the feeling when nothing seems to go right. Just remember the old mechanic moto, if it breaks while fixing it, it needed replacing anyway. Also see if the bosses will get ya an oxy cant be tight if its liquid 😊

[@gordonharris5350]

Hey Scotty, love the content, leave the supercharger on and go compound boost. A mate is currently building an L67 compound with turbos down the back.

[@Low760]

The supercharger is a restriction. Richard holdener tried that.

[@ParsoJr]

In times like these when the project kicks my arse, I walk away and attack it another day. Biggest thing I’ve done to keep me going on the VH was to tackle the “small wins”. The small jobs on the checklist that won’t take much to knock over 👍🏼

[@jplperformance9073]

Awesome video and sorry for your troubles mate!!!(always wanted to say that 😉)

[@peterschmidtchen8560]

It might be time for a workshop clean up and rearrange. Loads of wall space screaming out for shelves and benches. Have a dirty area for welding etc have a engine build area and have a electrical area. Food for thought to make the days go easier m8

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I agree, the place is a mess.

[@SuperTambo69]

We've all had days like this Scotty. Enjoyed the episode!

[@danielsultana5615]

Chin up Scotty you've got this where with all the way!

[@michaelb5330]

Hey Scotty Ever since the introduction of torque the amount of broken bolts and tools that I’ve had on those things Can totally understand your frustrations Cheers

[@todignatov1584]

Love your work mate keep it up

[@joelyanthat]

No need too second guess the interest in the shitshow supermang can put on Scotty, I am still here for all of it like since day one when you brought the berlina too it’s new home. Take care mate, I am very excited too see what is in store regardless how much the car wants too fight you back. :)

[@Pats-Shed]

Whenever I have a stripped out torx or phippips screw, I normally weld a washer to it first, then a nut, the washer protects the surrounding parts and the heat of welding loosens the corossion or thread lock .

[@MrSamlyle]

When you clean out your parts washer, I recommend using diesel. Cheaper than cleaning fluid and works well… Hope you had a good weekend 🍻

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yeah, we'll look into that, thanks.

[@auskilluminati333]

I felt the Bruce Buffer intro feeling come across me when I seen this

[@markthompson2580]

with that stripped bolt you need to weld a washer on bolt head then weld bolt to washer the heat helps loosen bolt as well

[@PaddyBoy644]

Could you weld a nut onto the oil pump bolt? Looking forward to sing Super Mang firing up. Cheers Pat 🇦🇺

[@gavinb9627]

Hey Scotty, telling it like it is as usual. I know you are not alone with things turning to shit, anyone who says any different, doesn't work with cars. Thanks again for the content.

[@glennmcdonald1020]

I’ve read some comments so sorry if someone has already said, use a punch or drift the same size as the head of the bolt and give it a smack with a hammer - it will shock the bolt and you will be able to undo, if not then heat, but most times a shock will do the trick

[@bobroberts2371]

Stuck / deformed bolts. Strike the bolt using a flat nose punch. This will imprint the bolt into the metal reducing tension. It will also slightly reform the head to allow some grip with the tool. Also. if the stuck bolt is the last one holding a part on, sometimes the part can be turned to help loosen the bolt.

[@bobroberts2371]

Also. Heat releases locktite The typical tapered easy out just tends to expand the bolt locking it tighter. The best extractor is made by Ridgid. it is a straight spline with an internal splined drive " nut " that allows for applying torque in both directions. Also, use a T handle driver as this applied pure torque not a partial side load that further locks the bolt into place.

[@TheCarJesus]

Thanks for the Vid mate. I think you might have meant 10thou different... 100 though has gotta be close to the whole thickness of the mace plate.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

I think it was more than 10-thou but yeah 100-thou doesn't sound right either I was too tired and angry to read it right.

[@yeahnahyeah7872]

Flat blade screw driver... wedge it in and snap the center lug. Tamper proof turns into a normal torq bit real quick 👌🍻

[@justincanny1571]

tech tip with those oil pump bolts used punch same size as the head give it whack help brakes seal of the tapered head.

[@W0rp3D]

For those like me wondering the thickness of the backing plate in Australian terms is about 2.54mm

[@mifo2000]

As someone who works on ALOT of harleys everyday with them torx heads. use a little heat. 60-80 degrees so everything expands and any lock tight softens. Then most importantly a small impact driver or 12v rattle gun on low setting and hold it dead strait, pushing dead strait like your drilling a hole. As soon as people start wrenching on them on slight angle the heads get fucked up and small torx bits break

[@JossRickard]

"Ew yuck that is gross" *immediately reaches into The Mixture*

[@STREETMACHINETV]

haha

[@bigal878]

What product in the ‘stink tank’ ? Sometimes with cars you just have to walk away and have a break and go have a frothy…. All the best mate 👍🇦🇺

[@davidwindsor4632]

Heat is your friend. 👍

[@craigritchie1933]

If you have the luxury of a gas torch, a little heat on the locktite will soften it up, and a little heat will often help removing bolts. You can buy a small cheap device from a hardware store that is specifically made to centre your drill bit when drilling holes for house door hinges , if the bolt has broken slightly bellow the surface then the tool make it easier to centre your drill bit when drilling it out for an easy out .

[@tobyhawken7505]

I like the content. Scotty charges on. But man that shop needs a clean out and some organization. Makes it 10 times more stressful trying to work around shit. Not to mention it would be a pretty cool episode of a before and after shop makeover.

[@allanpepper9651]

A bit of heat will loosen the bolt/screw. Loctite will also loosen.

[@dennisbjones]

I know it's no good now but next time consider welding a nut on the stuck bolt. 2 birds, 1 stone. heats up the loctite and gets the threaded part out too.

[@damienmills293]

Scotty, we've all had these days. It is what sorts the men from the boys. If it were easy everyone would be doing it. But they aren't. As noted below. Spend some time tidying the shed or battling the garden or doing some "paperwork". You'll be right as rain in no time.

[@simonwoodrow9572]

Plus side the music in this video is fantastic! I must know the name of the band please!

[@daryl8742]

Time for a break Scotty and recharge. Most people on here are rooting for you. One asked RU OK? Dead set great community you’ve got here and the arseholes can find other channels to watch. Take care bro and all the best for young Alex.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Thanks for the support, we'll keep plugging away.

[@davydoo81]

Stuck bolt are a Kent. I’ve found heat, a good penetrating fluid and some taps with a hammer can some time loosen them..

[@dodgeviper89]

Definitely isn't Jafromobile levels of engine cleanliness here 😂😂

[@manitoublack]

know the feeling. doesn't always go to plan.

[@donfinch862]

Not the best day Scotty. A note, stroke affects effective camshaft duration, I think that camshaft will be more aggressive on a stroker. Cheers

[@STREETMACHINETV]

More cubes actually calms down the camshaft in most cases

[@woosh073]

Next time . Use a fine ball mill die grinder and centre the hole. Then use a side cut burr bit and cut the bolt out. If you hit the thread you could always helicoil it. If you were located in south Australia, you could just give us a ring... Captain Thread

[@jeffheath4435]

Gloves bro!!

[@Tad-tr6vi]

Video of Scotty cleaning the tank!

[@pavels470]

Proper hardened steel torx bits, I went to buy a set and couldn't get a set for what felt like weeks

[@joe2097]

I just started watching Scotty get 2 bits of wood drill 8 holes in both size of push rods drilled on an angle the first pushrod will hold it up rinse and repeat

[@Glen-t7x]

Very therapeutic watching an engine being torn down

[@brianblank82]

if you can make a quality video of dissemble to the point of removing one piston and reassembly I'll use it in class, it will get watched every year 3 times at least

[@TinShed]

A little but of anti-seize under the countersunk may go a long way in the future. Have you looked at vapor blasting to clean out the depressions in the casting? Might wanna change the cam senor after sitting in that tank... Should look great when its back together :)

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yeah, it's probably due for a new Cam sensor

[@Bens_240Z]

Don't junk the front cover - get some alum (ammonium aluminum sulfate) and dissolve what's left of that screw, while leaving the aluminium intact. And 100% use a manual impact driver (and decent hammer) for these fasteners, no ouchie, no bit-breakie!

[@mick00000000002]

search engine ai fall seach Australia 🇦🇺. 3.8 with commers ""'""" does not work no more....... a male in Australia 🇦🇺 has pushed the limits in Australia. Can not find him. To pass on. To this channel..... that I love. Search engine fail. Love ya mate. Keep it up. I enjoy. Yes im old but enjoy you explain all to new. Appreciate it mate. )

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

@5:06 well done for resisting. That's all I'll say. 🤣

[@brookweber7230]

Put twin turbos on that six banger and stick it in that hb torana and get it done for coota

[@xozindustries7451]

You gotta heat those up, even weld a nut to the bolt, it usually comes right out

[@GTRRACING393]

Needing all the parts from the old engine thought you'd just get a cheap ecotec & part it out, then also have a intake manifold that suits the turbo build rather then stripping a good engine.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Needed the heads most importantly

[@ryanarnold7515]

Ever considered getting an ultrasonic parts cleaner mate?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

We'll have to look into one

[@gorboallen5848]

Have you looked at a whipple supercharger, about 15 yr ago one of my mates had 4.2 stroker engine built and had a 3.2 whipple supercharger put on it and big cam it easily mad 550hp at the wheels

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Looked at them but very expensive

[@gorboallen5848]

@ bummer sounds like not much supercharger support for the l67, plenty of turbo charger support

[@colinmiles9390]

Can’t win everyday but you can still bloody try.!

[@caynnfittler1628]

Scotty mate u gotta invent the smellaphone so we can smell it too 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pauljackson85]

Scotty it might be time to clean out the parts soaking tank

[@dan79w]

Heat is your friend especially when lock tight involed. You definitely made.life hard for yourself that day

[@pestamates62]

Use a impact driver next time for timing cover. Never ever had your issue getting oil pump gears out

[@Bradof77]

Loctite needs heat to remove. Bit of heat, but of yield or similar and you’ll be right. 👍

[@josephmorgan4]

would you sell your old bottom end. Mine just blew i think haha

[@ShaunDavis-jl6fr]

Time for few days off maybe do couple of garage tours on other channel.

[@colinmiles9390]

Hollow bits are never strong enough! Why do they make them if they are useless? Sorry about the ouchy bro

[@waynesummers7384]

Maybe have a shop cleaning day, that place is a mess 😮

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yeah, it's a mess at the moment. I need a day or two to tidy up.

[@vcval]

there are 2 types of torx bits pointed and rounded , i think automotive uses round not pointed

[@65Coasty]

We all have shit days/weeks mate. I broke a heap of those Kinchrome torx bits. They are garbage 🗑. And ffs clean that tank 😅

[@jcr6548]

🪓🚗🪓🚕🪓🛻🪓 🤣🤣 keep on truckin scotty

[@MrDriftaX]

What’s is this kinchrome warehouse you speak of

[@paulgionfriddo6803]

Punch+hammer for the snapped bit in oil pump I would’ve tried

[@boosted_l6787]

2 gaskets on the timing cover gasket mate
