You need a vice on the work cabin bench LOL get priority right and fook the litter picking the Cossie needs you brother.
❤😂
😇❤️
I reckon that intercooler was only about a year old when I sold you the car 😂
Smashing it lad
Yes Dan!
It might be worth giving Motorsport Developments in Blackpool a ring about your cams. Speak to Stuart
Thanks for the suggestion mate, it goes to msd to tune it,since I’ve owned it 👌👊
things seem to be progressing nicely and the parts are looking good, nice and clean lovely jubilee. tip for you when you rebuild the top end dont forget to put a new orings in front of the cam bearings, 1oring in front of each cam bearing before you fit the cam sprocket spacer and make sure that the cir clips on the cam bearings have the cut outs gaps in the circlips that are on the bearings at the top at the highest point eg at 12 o,clock
Cheers Jerry,Might get somewhere in a few weeks, I’ll take the heads to a specialist on the 3rd feb hopefully 🤞
With the air blower would drown it with wd 40 and just give it a good clean personally your doing ok for first time we all started like that learn by your mistakes and when refiting would use a little gasket seal around the edge first
Hi mate thanks for the suggestion 👌👊 I’ve cleaned it up since and re fitted it,fingers crossed it’s in good working order when I come to need it again 😎
Hello I’ve been watching every one of your videos as it’s motivating and learning to build my self build sierra I’m doing a 3rd wrc engine would you sell the cam pulleys? You take care!
Thanks for the support 👊sorry must have missed the comment, there might be some left overs when I’m done but I’d like to keep as much as I can to keep a complete spare head if that makes sense.
I would get a fresh side of valve guides, stem seals, all the valves checked and a new set of tappers as a minimum. It will cost more now but it will save you having to lift the head again and do it later on. The marks are from poor AFR, I would imaging the pistons the head come off are the same.
I’d like to do this mate, I’m a bit unsure if I should use the local engine builder, last time the welding job was good but I got my head back with a slightly pissed helecoil, I want precision really not chucked about like a transit van head 🫡
@@c111prs that’s the problem is finding a machine shop that’s decent. I used CMA in Chester for the head in my XR4x4. They done what I asked and when I picked it up it was spotless and the machine work looked spot on.
@@chrismitchell9114 ideally somewhere within driving distance to deliver in person , I sweat sending anything like that by post
@ yeah fortunately Chester is only 30 mins away from me so I took it myself and picked it up.
Just caught up after not watching for a bit. Always worth a watch and just proves fooking about with old fords and shite escalates rapid. Keep them coming brother and big up the chocolate orange wrapper.
Nice one Ian 🫡😎 chocolate orange for the win 🍊
mushroom!
😂 I’ll be checking for mushrooms today mate 👌
Roll the valve on a flat surface like a flat piece of glass to see if that there bent 👌💯👊🍻🫡
This will be the first test now Jason..thanks for the suggestion mate 👊😎

Tunes on point mate from a guy who’s had a skin full 😂 love your videos

Glad you appreciate my mate 👊 love making the videos for you all 😎

Yes chucky 👊 thanks for tuning in 👌🫡
Getting some of that Autosol. Looks awesome.
It’s banging stuff mate ❤
Tried and tested
Proper job 🤙
Yes bro 👊 thanks for dropping by 😎
that looks like the head i told you about on auction on the bay the one i messaged you about to tell you about it and told you to contact the seller for a buy now👍
I’ve never got your e mail Jerry ❤but this is probably the one mate👌it’s a proper rare gem.. thanks again for looking out bro🫡
@@c111prs i did put a message on 1 of your videos when you 1st said that you needed a head
Inlet come up mint mate 👍
Well decent for a bit of a spit and polish 😂 nice one chubby 👊
@ haha belter mate, like the mushroom on the outro aswell 😂😂
@@chubbygold garage shrooms update next upload 😂
@ 😂
I recently spoke to Norris and he said my pals block with 137 would be fine with correct head gasket. You can get a thicker one. Be sound that lad
Nice one for the info mate, it may possibly fix up nice and match up good using a multi layer steel gasket Ive kind of got another 4x4 head in the pipeline too bro 👌🫡👊
it's a 205 head..
Yes mate it’s off a 205 sierra cosworth engine 👌👊
@c111prs i know them insideout to the point making me puke.. enjoy
Dude you have some lovely cars , get sum covers for them , bloody cats
Need a cattle prod 😂 that would teach them , I’ve got some painters dust covers I should put over them , nice one for the suggestion 👊
Getting there but by bit, be nice if you can source a decent 4wd cylinder head or get yours inspected..
Like rocking horse shit now decent heads stu, steady away now mate 🫡
Satin black paint the intercooler m8 etch prime before paint after scuffing 👍
I run a modified Sierra head on my BT escos, no issues at all run a wire under slam panel for temp gauge and your golden. Stat I use escos turbo oil feed I run up and behind block. Cam should just tap out but I’ve only ever done it with head still in the car
Nice one mate it’s good to know I’ve got a bit of support and all the info if I go this route 👌👊
Use the red scotch-brite with a light oil/water mix (duck-oil)
Thanks for the tip 🫡👊
Burton will do you a cylinder head, only 6 grand 😬
I’ve seen them pal 😮 that’s 6k plus v.a.t I think too 🤯
@c111prs painful lol...
Good update making progress 👍
Keep chipping away mate, parts are rare and pricey unfortunately 😮 thanks for watching 👊
You can block off the oil feed on the 4x4 head. I’m running a 4x4 head on mine but the oil feed is taken from the same place as a 2WD. Supposedly better oil pressure that way. 2WD and 4x4 heads use different cams too and the water temp sensor on the side of the head is at the front on 2WD and rear on 4x4. Obviously you can’t run the standard turbo damper set up on a 4x4 head either.
Thanks for the information matey 🫡 I’m still trying learn all this and not rush it, 🤯
Can you share your banging playlist 😂
Proper mixed bag of delights this week 😎😂
Whered ya get the disc lock bag from???
E bay mate , it’s a mustang ev charge cable bag £17
absollutley top ten perfect love it
Glad you approve 😂👌👊
Looks like never had antifreeze in it to be fair
Yes It’s been run on both over the years mate🫡 antifreeze for the last 10 years now 😎👊
YHWH Almighty bless you man... happy 2025 🎉
@@lummy321 yes lummy! Same to you brother 👌all the best this year 👊
On a old saph i had i skimmed a head down to 138.40 and tig welded some rough bits and was totally fine still is today with the guy who bought the car off me.
Thanks for the info mate this is very good to know 👌👊
The Cats keeping the mice away from your wiring mate it’s a blessing 😂👍 Rodents are a menace!
😂 I best get tiddles a saucer of milk then for his hard work then hadn’t I 😂
😂 yeah and a blanket
There’s nothing wrong with the heater motor it will be your fuse box breaking down and a right pain to fix , common problem on escort cosworths As for the head the Cosworth recommended minimum is 138.68 as you say but you can go well below that the risk generally into the 137’s is an inlet valve seat falling out due to the reduced meat around it , use a thicker cosmetic head gasket when refitting GGR sell 3 different thicknesses Machine shop should be able to skim that head no problem just ask for the minimum to be taken off
Let’s hope so my mate, thanks for the information, 👌🫡👊 I was hoping someone who knows their onions might comment…😎the car has had a new fuse box fitted too,(regarding the fans)but that was 19 years ago 🛠️🔧👍
Next time you're out at the escort, you couldn't measure the rough dimensions of the carpet please? I bought one advertised as sierra years ago, off one of the Essex cossy massive. It turned out to too narrow, so I'm guessing he confused it with an escort one, as he had loads of parts at the time. I always enjoy the vids, banter and tunes 👍
Nice one lemmy ❤ I’ll have a look for you pal , if it is an escort cossy carpet it’s worth a fortune and pretty sought after 😎👊
@c111prs awesome thanks
@@lemmykilmister450 it might be a base model sierra carpet he sold you on the other hand too,, as base models had a slightly smaller transmission tunnel
@c111prs could have been. Colour wise it's similar / same as my 3dr
Keeping your self busy fella !! That cat deffo wants an outing in the car when done ! Proper Ford fan
Yes Dan! 😂 thats the second suggestion today about an outing for the cat in the car 🚙 😿 😎loving this idea 💡 👊
You need to open another channel and call it cat watch 😂
Bring my air rifle back and job jobbed 😂
Av u tryed the switch in the car mate before the motor for blowers fuses azwel I'd try cleanin the resistor terminals up mate first be look of them
They got a wire wheeling before the install so fingers crossed , the terminals are mullered though if truth be told, the interia switch lights up as it was an air con car so that’s bang on I’d say but thanks for the suggestions Andy 👌👊
Is the small radiator air conditioning, or is it connected to the hot water of the motor?
It’s all air conditioning that radiator condenser type element that’s inside the box mate, it’s not connected to my coolant system
@c111prs ok. Thanks
I know people have had those heads ally welded and re-skimmed to save them, not sure of the cost though. You can also get different thickness multi layer gaskets to compensate for head thickness. Do you know where the cat is getting in? That would do my nut in.
I’ll have to see what the guy Is talking when I take the head in, I’ve had welding done on a head before but not around the firing ring, I’m not sure it’s the best place to weld but can be done from my research this week, today I’m just going to try getting the cams out and get a true thickness reading once my digital vc turns up 😎thanks for watching and the comment matey Cats are just getting in under the flap the Bastards 🫥
0.44 - I can't stop laughing😂. But honestly - you need to sort the cat problem out - they are birty dastards - as well as destroying your paintwork. They are vermin - I'm tortured the same way. You're more knowledgeable than you let on - but fair play to you bring it to a machine shop, and best if its one that is familiar with those engines. You might be on the limit - but maybe there is a gasket that will do your job and allow another skim. Somebody on here is bound to be able to advise re the height of the head Fingers crossed it will be ok.
Cats are a pain mate 😂 the place I’ll take the head to,I got my sierra head welded and skimmed there, I’m waiting for a digital vc in the post and wouldn’t mind removing the cams first before I go there…thanks for the comment and watching buddy fingers crossed 🤞 🫡👊
What about a large cat trap? Once it's in there, bung it in the boot, drive 50 miles away and let it go in the middle of nowhere. Very cheap at £20 and not illegal.🤔
Willing to try anything 😂 thanks for the suggestion 👌👊
Had one just like it years ago . Was stolen at vue cinema in Wigan . Miss that car
I’ve had 3 myself mate 2 black d reg ones and a f reg blue one 👌👊
You are living the dream there man, might not feel like it when you are up against it but tunes on and leaning into a cossie engine bay 👌... i'd end up getting on it and get nothing done 😂
