Suspicious package turns up at the Barum HQ with clues in the comments!

Well we get an unnamed package turn up at Barum HQ and we didn’t know what it was until we read the comments in the last video. Also, we get in amongst some comments again and this time we see what Isaac has to say

[@jsh6952]

Definitely need more British bike content. Jay Leno has quite a few Nortons, Vincents, and BSAs, it would be nice to have homeland content for the brands to complement Jay's uploads.

[@70sAirForceBrat]

You left the clock crooked. The OCD trolls are going to go insane over that. For they can have something to complain about😂

[@ouroborosirvington]

I didn't notice. Now I won't be able to concentrate, earn a living, have a conversation, satisfy my wife (not since 1962 during a swingers wknd) or even sleep. This could be the final straw.

[@mikehipperson]

I'd tell them to put a 2p coin under one corner of their wellies to straighten it out!

[@jamesplotkin4674]

Not only does that send me, but I've been trying for months to get them to dust off their office surfaces and more recently, righting that crooked "Premier" placard on the far left upper chest. And don't get me started on the incomplete white boarding, particularly over the emergency escape ;-)

[@2WHEELSor2WINGS]

More bike stuff and anything out of the ordinary would be great to see. John grinning cranks will be interesting too. 👍🙂

[@henktulp4400]

What I’ve learned ages ago during my technical education is that there is one particular thing with ‘gear oil’… In many differentials the gears are not just ‘touching a/o pushing’ the gears teeth are actually sliding in touch with each other!! In those cases (so I was told…) one must stick to gear oil with ‘EP’ qualification…. EP meaning Extreme Pressure. I would imagine engine oil does not qualify as an EP lubricant…. So pressumably in this case the differential which is running in engine oil will not be fitted with Hypoid gears (being the one with the ‘sliding’ gears…) Peugeot used gearboxes running in the engines oil too!! (Peugeot 204, 304, and later the 104 and 205) On top of that for some odd reason on their older models (203, 403, 404 and maybe more) the gearboxes had to be filled with engine oil too, although being separate from the engine!! And one final remark… the older rearwheel drive Peugeots (again 203, 403, 404, and maybe more) had a very rare way of driving the differential!! In order to lower the driveshaft to reduce it’s intrusion in the passengers compartment it was fitted with worm-drive!!! Appearantly this involved a rare kind of Bronze part that could only survive on a very special kind of gear oil…. As far as I know uniquely used in these cars! Obviously using the wrong oil can cause you terminal damage to your Peugeot oldtimer’s rear axle… Sorry for wasting anyone’s time…… greetings, Henk.

The mouse is dead! Give it up! True warriors... Love your channel. You two (plus an occasional John) are becoming quite the team.

Lee,re the only female viewer...I have been subscribed and watching since the beginning of the channel.I don't always have a comment to leave but I have commented on quite a few.. Love the channel btw..cheers

That was me lol 👍

There is more than Lee thinks lol, and not all of them too see Isaac's lovely blond hair!

Hence back in the day when servicing the A series, we always had quite the "fir tree" on the magnetic dump drain plug 😊

[@michaelthompson6885]

Having been in the business years ago i love watching the court cases and complaints part of these videos cos it takes me right back!

[@jamesplotkin4674]

Perfect timing, needing a fresh batt-ree for the mouse and you just happen to have some ;-) I believe the "Good luck with the Subaru" remark is a genuine sentiment of heartfelt hopes for good luck, not a slam.

[@davidsheridan]

Just looking at the perkins block..I build tractor engines in Ireland..original liners had a lip but these days you skim the block flat and fit a head gasket with a smaller bore to keep the compression the same

[@dannycrooks8462]

The clock isn't hanging straight now 😂

[@barnesandrewj]

Lee your court stuff used to be frustrating. But now you chgd process its well pleasing to see you get stuff in writing andpush back or go to court 👋

[@mikeb3010]

Got to say Lee, I was one of the early ‘negative’ reviewers about doom and gloom jobs. But you’ve definitely upped your game, court case and all, the cozzie lumps you do will age like a good wine, you are definitely more settled and comfortable in front of the camera. Bags of respect fella.. Oh, I’m next door to Newman Cams if you need something on the QT..

if your really lucky the mouse will take a "AA" battery. loving yuor channel.

[@70sAirForceBrat]

What a buffoon EPA is not in the UK That's a United States pain in the butt. And we also have C.A.R.B aka California air resource board and they're just a big pain in the butt as the EPA is. Both of them work in hand in hand to make our lives miserable, threatening outrageous fines and jail time over stuff that actually makes engines run better and cleaner. Because the factory tune that they put in every vehicle is pretty much generic. If they let shops actually tune each individual vehicle to its area, it would run better, get better gas mileage and have cleaner emissions. But God help us. They won't even think about it. They rather find you and jail you then let you make something better.

[@Jester-Riddle]

It's those same two officious monsters that also keep production of Rickenbacker guitars restricted (and hence prices so ridiculously high !) due to issues with spraying finishes on the guitars (and basses, of course). They only make these special guitars in California, although they did consider moving the 'factory' when the air quality restrictions first affected them, however guitar building skilled employees on this scale are not necessarily available elsewhere ... So, double hatred from me ... and for many others, as cars and guitars tend to be shared interests.

[@jsh6952]

I had a 1977 Ford that ran cleaner with most of the smog equipment removed and my carburetor tweaking. Had to drill out the epoxy on the mixture screws, blocked off the EGR and the smog pump, the cats stayed. I was able to drop the warm idle down to 450 rpm with the A/C running and got the freeway mileage up to 19 mpg. This was a 7000 lb curb weight station wagon with the 400/6.6L V8 and 2 barrel carb.

[@scottiehunnybunnywoowoo462]

Just a question have you ever seen a PINTO block ? I`m not talking about the 1.6,2.0 liter single OHC we got. The 4 cam bearing 2.3 pinto that ours were derived from ?

[@hansk70]

I guess Martin Schanke was pretty good on getting the power down in the old Escorts he was running in late 70`s, early 80`s

[@donaldhalls2189]

Personally you can only show what you are doing, it's not an acting show it's real life, how can people complain about you showing what you do and how you do it, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@markmawson1]

The person talking about the EPA is a U.S thing standing for Environmental Protection Agency it's like our HSE and EA.

[@MIB-iy6qq]

Never too much cosworth info, bring them on guys👍👍👍

[@hardergamer]

I remember when Lee said there weren't any women viewers some time ago, and a bunch of them commented, I think there is more than you think, as I personally know of 2 that watch your channel.

[@M1ck1970]

Great content (all of it) keep up the variety if it's part of your business keep doing it 👍 👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidheap880]

Great Video Lee. Thank you for taking the time to film then along with your sidekick Issac😂😂

[@TheCruisey79]

Would be nice if you could get a pic of the car that the engine has come out of or is going into. Small thumbnail in the bottom of the screen when you are working/ talking about an engine. Hide the registration plate for customer privacy

[@drkeithwinter1504]

Keep up the good work guys I’ll be bringing you a Lotus Twin Cam in later this year to break the Cosworth dominance

[@dkl01-e5l]

I enjoy the videos, I find them informative, also with some light humour in it and some crazy comments to boot. keep it up 😀

[@henktulp4400]

Appearantly John suspects the Crankgrinder being bugged already…..

[@ouroborosirvington]

The rumor is that the EPA's goal is to eventually shut down motorsports dependency of fuel powered vehicles, since their policies on the crackdown of defeat devices applies to any vehicle, including off-road use, so includes any form of racing.

[@peterihoy4908]

Yes please, more motorcycle stuff, especially vintage/veteran.

[@adey4000]

Would love to see some V8 engines also still love the pintos

[@JamesAllen300]

2.0 Ingenium engines are the worst creation that JLR have produced. Timing chain issues are the most common. A good friend of mine used to work for a Land Rover independent workshop and he said that they stopped even sercvicing them due to their design flaws. They would use the Land Rover oil and genuine filters but would still sound like a bag of spanners after the service was done. Many Land rover specialists aren't touching them too due to this flaw. They don't want the hassle with the owners saying "It didn't sound like that when I brought it here" . JLR have had a few issues in the past with crap engine design eg. 2.7 / 3.0 TDV6 and SDV6. Only got to look on the internet for their issues and it all stems from the crankshaft. There's a good video series on KZbin showing a teardown of one out of a Range Rover. I'll try and find the link and put it below. The damage report of the broken TDV6 is the 4th link. I do have a question about bearing shells and this kind of follows on from the crankshaft issue above. Spun bearings do happen as you guys know and I wanted to get your opinion on what the "Tab" at the top of the bearing shell is actually for. I think I've heard you say in a previous vid that they aren't a locating tab. Am I right in thinking this? What is it's purpose if it isn't one? Keep up the good work Issac, Lee & John. Always like your vids. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX7Ug6lnZclrnKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJPHgpWFZcudhZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnbUoZ2mf6l5eKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2XdiXeBodB6ns0

[@70sAirForceBrat]

When you talk about a pinto us Americans think about our version over here. It is totally different from the UK. Pinto .The one that was basically a death trap. When it was rear-ended it would either catch fire or explode. They even made fun of it in the movie top secret. You can google that and see the short clip.

[@295walk]

Pinto is the engine name.

[@missogyny4921]

Now that it’s too late to raffle off the bonnet scoop, what about selling small pots of ‘Lee’s Trimmings’ for charity??!! I’ll leave the precise contents to yourselves, but I’m sure the ladies would go mad for it!!

[@shoominati23]

With all the Paul Linfoot popularity, I am suprised you aren't getting more enquiries? I guess their is limited amount of interest for 2 litre turbo Cossies, seeing they made less than a thousand of them

[@danielriddell441]

I've got a V6 and a spare crank. I've always wondered about cutting the counterweights off it... Has anyone done it before? How'd it go?

[@70sAirForceBrat]

What you need to do on your channel is a good old American GM V8. I have not seen that done yet unless I missed that video. I would like to see your take on how you would refurbish a GM 350 or the newer LS or LT engine.

[@ambydaly5713]

Have you thought about creating a type of operation sequence for your various engine components ? This could be invaluable for your other technicians especially if you were not available and someone else has to continue any current projects? It’s great that you have a lot of technical knowledge but would not be of much help if you were not available.

[@MrDws1960]

What's the time Issac ? What do you mean ? 😅

[@philipthoreau3590]

Any engine is good thanks. Be interesting to hear what make the Cosworth different from others. P🇳🇿

[@daledavies2334]

It is all scrap iron in the end, pistons, valves and bolts. Some information applicable to the Cozzies is applicable to other engines, just have to have an open mind on things.

[@nevsmate8663]

...oooh, forgot to say I love your show, keep the videos coming.

Yes more bike,boat and any other types of engine please👍 The BSA 250 quietly laughing at the ingenium and so called progress in design 😂

[@AsahelFrost]

Good news is you now have 3 spare batteries for the mouse!

[@richardyoung8408]

Watch out with the jlr ingenium engine they are boomerangs get the customer to got through the turbo they usually cause a lot of the issues on them. Any of my customers that have a disco with one of those I strongly suggest they sell them before they need a second mortgage to repair them if they don’t get stolen first. Good luck

[@mikehipperson]

Watch out Lee, Drive Tribe's Mike Fearny bought a 4litre straight six Jag unit that has been in a swamp for some time. He paid the princely sum of £1 for it, I guess he didn't have the 10p it was actually worth in change? Anyway, someone suggested in the comments that they should send you the lump for you to sort out! Best of luck!

[@barbaraneville5036]

When the mouse gave up you already told us where the spare clock battery was kept 🙂 One AA battery required only

[@stigg333]

Would like to see some large V8's and some motorbike engines as well if possible.

Hi It's been about 40years since I last got into the giblets of a perkins it was a 4-208, I believe back then there were options on liners. Iron or chrome and they were proud of the block as those are. Are there still options on liner choice. Yes more motorcycle / other stuff please Keep up the good work

[@madeljacky]

Hi, just wondering would it have been a Perkins 4-108 like the one in the video rather than a 4-208 which I have never heard of even being made by Perkins

[@TheBlibo]

@madeljacky Hi it was not the 108 it might be 203? To long ago. I think it was in a Leyland FG

[@madeljacky]

@@TheBlibo yes i know the 4-203 engine very well, a lot were fitted to the Mark II Massey Ferguson 65 and some to the mark I Massey Ferguson 165, i dont know a lot about the Leyland FG, i called it the angle cab because the door into the cab was at an angle, some had 4 and 6 cylinder petrol engines made by Morris or Austin, the diesels were usually engines made by B.M.C but that's not to say some were fitted with Perkins engines which i would not be surprised at.

Another good video guys😎

[@jamestanner9198]

Why don't you use torque plate on top of the block when you bore them. ? Use die spray and 8 Stone Diamond hones. Rough out grit and fine finish grit. You will see the difference in the finish its a much better finish. With a STD bore gauge you will only get a 2 dimension view of bore with die as well easy to see all the high spots. You will find where the head bolts go through on the torque plate the die will stay there . High spots left in cylinder. Distortion will be where head bolts are. 600 /8 Stone cbn to finish. Look at this guys I found it to show what I'm talking about.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqnCfJuXiJV8fKs
