I am so impressed with the dignity and respect you showed, Chad. I can only imagine the anger and frustration you feel, yet you went through the details in an almost scientific manner. Jolene, my heart goes out to you!! It just wasn't meant to be. I'm sure Chad will find you something even better!! Love you two!!
Great episode ! very interesting there is a lot of trust in engine building and sadly some people take advantage of others goodwill ..and you expressed it all with dignity
Dear Chad and Jolene. You bring so much positive energy to the channel…chad aive followed you for years and I’ve never seen you so disheartened by a car build related issue. It just shows how much passion you build your cars with and our hearts go out to you both
I don't think you could have handled that situation any better. Hats off to you both for being so level headed a working through such an awful dilemma. Onward and upward!
I think you said it best when you said "I'd never cut someone out of my life for 1 mistake." That shows both manliness to overcome, virtue to forgive and maturity to move on. Not all things work out as planned, or hoped, Yet all things work out to those thru perseverance keep going forward and leave the past behind. 👍
Incredibly clear way to explain all the issues. You did a great job explaining and I can imagine the phone discussion was not pleasant. Maybe he really thought it was done right and can’t admit he was wrong. It’s sometimes difficult for some people to admit their mistakes. Not sure how anyone could think those bolts were good for a fan. Sorry that you lost someone you thought was a friend. I really admire your patience and calm demeanor. You’re a really good person.
It is so heart breaking when someone takes advantage of good honest people like you Chad and Jolene, especially hurtful when it's a British made product and someone tries to disgrace the design by bad work on it. If you hadn't took the view of detailing the engine I would hate the thought of what could of happened to the both of you especially Jolene. You did the right thing and checked the engine over and you also video and photos of the problems, so the person could see the mistakes he had made. I am glad to hear that he is refunding Jolene her money back and is taking care of his mess and taking the engine back. Keep up the good work as I am proud to watch you Chad and Jolene work on the beautiful creations that you have made.
It's too bad that you guy's had to lose so much time on that engine but I'm glad you were able to convince him to take it back. Let's put this all behind us and get rockin on the next exciting adventure. Can't wait!
That metal in the filter is the engine chewing itself up on the first start/s. The other stuff isn't worth arguing over as it can be fixed. The metal in that filter is the deciding factor, you can't rely on that engine.
@@arfonjones7188 he said that before he saw the chunks in the folds. You would have to throw a handful of swarf in the sump to achieve that, notably the pickup screen is probably covered in it too
Incredible episode!! I can imagine the frustration and stress that Jolene and yourself over this. The way you went over the mistakes and issues was brilliant…controlled and not a rant! A true showing of strength and character. Choosing to express this stage of the project as going learning from the mistakes and going on a new adventure was excellent! Perhaps for me the most powerful part of the episode was how you ended…. Tell the truth Learn from mistakes and Never cut someone out of your life for one little mistake!!! Thank you!!! Wishing Jolene and you success!!!
Chad, you have once again demonstrated that you and Jolene are people of true integrity and honesty, with your word being your bond. The "problem" is that you operate on the assumption that everyone else has the same commitments that you do, leading the two of you to being vulnerable to those who have no integrity, who take advantage of those who do. I'm pleased that you were able to get that person to honor his word, but saddened in that it took this much effort to make that happen. Good luck with the new engine. Stay strong.
Good for you Chad and Jolene, you conducted yourselves in a very respectful manner in explaining your displeasure with the way the engine was presented and represented to you.
Good job boys! You know when find one problem, you maybe able to let it slide, but when you find one problem after another, you are more then likely going to find more as time goes on. Glad to hear Jolene is getting a return on the motor. Great camera work Jolene.
Feel for your loss!! At least your now on the right path! I've loved watching this 100% custom build!! I tip my hat to you chad on the manner in which you have handled this! Well done 👍👍
I love how you have each other's backs... you definitely handled it way better then I would have. Anyone coming on my property threatening me is definitely not leaving the same way they came. Nothing but respect for how you delt with this 💯 👏
Reminds me of freind that bought a rebuilt 350 Chevy that the guy said all you need to do is add oil, he installed and went to fire it up and it didn't sound good so he called me for my option, we pulled it out and found that the rockers not adjusted and then started checking the whole motor out the rods and main bolts not torked, so this shows if there one thing wrong it's mostly got more wrong. Chad good thing you Jim checked it out.
Well said Chad. It's a sad situation in so many ways, but we have to learn from such things and move forwards. "Take a lesson and move on" is one of the best bits of advice I ever got. Live is enriched by honesty and treating others as we would like to be treated. Thank you.
Very well spoken, respectful, dignified. You Handled the situation better than I would have. Forgive, but never forget. My motto. I am proud to be a part of your video's.
Glad you got it sorted, You should not have been put through this,Hope he holds his head in shame and retires from doing what he can't do,Jim's your man a gent and a comedian.Mowins the lawns in the dark with his eyes shut,he would brighten your day. Best of luck guys going forward. From Ireland
Glad Jim talked you into checking the filter, can’t wait to see. I believe many of those nuts should have lock washers not flat washers. I would hope Doug takes the motor back and returns payment. I don’t like that guy.
The washers should be plain washers. When threaded fasteners are correctly designed and torqued up, as these should be, they don't need lock washers and they don't come undone.
Amazing video and the fact you are calm and succinct in your language is testament to yours and Jolene's integrity and sense of honor. Bless you both and I am certain that the next engine will be perfect. Stick to your principles and as you say honesty is so much easier, not as much to remember. Thank you, take care and rock on!!
I'm glad you taped Jim looking at that pleated paper part thing. ;) Glad it's getting resolved and you can move on. Thankful you discovered the problems when you did.
From memory, and it's over 20years since I've worked on an xk engine. But to remove the fan I remember undoing 4 nuts with an open ended spanner and they had washers and spring washers that I always dropped. The studs in the water pump had a course thread on the pump end and fine for the nuts. 5/16 UNC and the unf sounds about right. Lovely engine with a gergeous sound, especially the vicarage tuned versions with triple carbs.
Brad. I spent all my working life in the motor repair industry. Very sad to see you having a problem with the engine. We fitted a lot of reconditioned engines from a lot of different so called experts. The amount of failures and so called warranties we had almost sent us broke. The only remedy we came up with was to do our own engines , by doing this all our problems went away. Its not the only problem with the engine not being good its the disappointment and stress it creates for you and Jolene , enough said .56 years in the motor industry i saw a lot and learnt a lot.
I work at an automotive machine shop . If we machine your block we clean it out afterwards. But it is the responsibility of the engine builder to make sure it is completely blown out and clear of any metal before assembly.
Chad your a great guy with so much passion and compassion. Sadly people screw up and or cut corners..... hopefully you guys can stay friends still after this.
I thank you for this episode as it will give people somethings to look for when they look for or go to buy a engine. Sellers can say anything to get a sell, but now people will look a little closer at what they ane buying and not what they read!!
So impressed with the way you have handled this situation. How you kept so cool and calm says a lot for the way you were raised, and the mature way you have explained your findings, with never an angry word towards the engine supplier. Well done, Chad, my heart goes out to Jolene, but with compensation, you can start a new journey for a replacement motor. Go for it!!
You are a class act Chad Hiltz, a class act. Everything happens for a reason and I suspect that the new engine will turn out even better than what you had planned.
You are admirable, as angry as you could be you still speak calmly and give thought to your words. I look forward to this new story and having you and Jolene happy and having confidence in the engine.
Washer allows the nut to slip allowing proper torque. The metal shaving are the real problem. Glad you decided to detail the engine dont think it would have lasted long . The fan would have come off shortly to start a bad day tearing things up . Im sure you would be getting rid knock shortly. I run a vacuum truck on parking lots we bought a rebuilt motor from a reputable rebuild company, it had massive blow by blow the oil right out the motor, the rebuild company when we contacted them said it was a bad carb and that we had washed the motor with gas wearing it out . I asked if its running ritch then were the smoke ? As ww know if we leave a choke on it smokes and run porly right. Well there response was that it didn't need to smoke to be ritch. So no warranty. So you guys did great getting your money back. I hate to say it but unless you do it yourself you can't trust it
chad & jolene thanks for putting this on air , as it will let people know ,even paying top $ 7,000 ,still get in there and look ,. sorry the shit hit the fan, good luck stay calm,
What does someone whom has zero mechanical knowledge ‘get in there and look at’? You pay a supposed expert $9000.00 for a ‘new’ motor…you don’t expect to have to check their work
@Rob Arthur this is true. Don’t get me wrong…Jolene is lucky Chad is fairly mechanically savvy…but what about your average ‘non mechanical’ guy/girl? Unfortunately….they MUST rely on a persons ‘word’ and the thought that “I’m paying a LOT of money for this…I expect it to be right”.
Very respectful to the person who sold u the motor.. glad it all worked out. I however would have check the filter first because it tells you allot about an engine.
Well said Chad....you are a most forgiving and compassionate heart.... happy that Jolene will get back her money and that you both will be able to move forward... Jim rocks!! 👍🇨🇦
So very sorry brother and little sister !!! I have been there myself !!!! I commend both of you for being civil with the seller !!!! Im glad that you were able to make things good !!!! Yall are so awesome !!! Sorry that yall had so much trouble !!!
Glad to hear that at least Jolene got her money back. Really sad that it had to work out that way. Hope that she finds an even better engine!!! Chad showed real class in making it "a learning experience"!!!!
You did good Chad! It would have been very difficult for me to out the seller ('cause I'm a grumpy old man!)! Anyways, good for you! I've been through this many time over the years (50+) with Harleys I've bought rode and/or fixed up and sold, and there are a significant set of folks out there that believe "I can do this" (I'm honestly one of those folks) but, I also believe in talking with people that know "their stuff" and are willing to help because, I listen and never ask the same question twice! I love watching content providers like Chad, not all are right not all are crap because, it you have patience, you can learn for everyone - learning what not to do and why is more valuable than how to do it right - learning how to think a problem through is a skill few people have. Chad is a character for sure and Jimbo is even more so, I love them both, they are completely into their "thing". Gear-heads like myself, Chad and Jimbo are a unique animals, we are obsessed and we love working through a problem - it's what keeps us up at night and gets us outta bed early... because we just have to address the issue we think we solved at 4AM this morning!
Jolene deserves the best !! :) wouldn't want to see her standing on the side of the road beside a stalled bugatti in her wedding gear on the way to her wedding
Chad it takes a confident person to objectively gather proof to prove their concern. You deserve a huge amount of credit for your attitude. The seller may want to reevaluate his abilities in the future. Well done!!
Chad and jolene about the fan you can buy a stud the same size for the thread but it has a step down from the size of the bolt head they are used on many older British cars. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍 👏
People get shot for way less than that back here in the states. You Canadians are such nice and understanding people, hope the different engine works out better. Good luck!
Watching the video when Doug drops off the engine and hearing Chad ask about the “oil change” makes ya wonder. It sucks that this happened but I like to believe that stuff happens for a reason and sometimes bad stuff happens so that good things can happen. Cut your losses and move forward onto bigger and better things.
Getting your money back! I'm glad he's taking the engine back and you two are getting a better engine! I'm 62 & been there and done that. Looking forward to more videos, Godspeed from the Yakima Valley in Washington State!
Sad to see that the motor is not what you expected but good on you to go threw it and find the red flag issues 👍 glad to hear that you two convinced the seller to issue a refund . Moving forward wish you guys all the best
It was so good to be able to fall back on Bernie is he such a very nice man and is full of knowledge with English cars i am very sure you'll get a good engine from him
I'm glad you were able to talk the seller into doing the right thing and refunding your money. More often than not in those situations you're just SOL. Hope the next motor is done right but now at least you know what to look for.
Well done explaining the problems, and a good thing it’s going back and your money comes back to you guys , start fresh with a full rebuild watching and learning through the process then you will know the new engine inside and out . Just keep moving forward it will all come together in the end .👊👊
That motor is a boat anchor, I agree with most of the comments on here, you showed great restraint in not losing it. The old saying goes if want something done right sometimes you just have to do it yourself.
I'm glad you're going to get an engine from Bernie, he's a great old guy from what we have seen of him. Didn't he offer you a Jaguar motor for Jolene's Bugatti about the time you got that one from Doug?
Cannot believe Doug's part in this and I hope he makes good with that, thank God the mind of Jim went right to a main source cause if the engine had been started it would not have lasted long. Great move Jim!
@@richardmondor1360 Yes. The "seller" had it running on a run stand at his place when they took a look at it. Even had a radiator setup on it, and also started it up when he dropped it off at Chads shop.
Chad you are the definition of the word gentleman I've only been following your channel for about a month and I'm happy I found it. I can see you and work very much the same bouncing from one project to another and back again. my wife calls me a "scatter brained genius" a title I will gladly share with you. Keep up the good work
It's a good outcome that you could convince Doug to refund you the cost of the engine. We have all learned a lesson today . Glad that you could talk about it with us.
You can now feel the power that media has. Without all of these videos being viewed by so many people It could have happened that you would have not gotten an acceptable response from the seller. If the seller ever wants to walk out in the sunshine again he has to do what is right.

I agree also, well said!
Great episode ! very interesting there is a lot of trust in engine building and sadly some people take advantage of others goodwill ..and you expressed it all with dignity
To think to take the oil filter out and look through the pleats and find any metal would be a heartbreak.
You handled that and carried yourself like a man. Mad Respect
Thank you for delivering content when you are faced with this difficult situation. Jim was right the proof was in the pan, and the filter.
Dear Chad and Jolene. You bring so much positive energy to the channel…chad aive followed you for years and I’ve never seen you so disheartened by a car build related issue. It just shows how much passion you build your cars with and our hearts go out to you both

well said !!
My impression is that Chad learned the best lessons the hardest way and Jolene was a patient guide.
Nicely said. :)
It could also mean that there has been multiple previous mistakes and this engine scam was the straw that broke the camels back.
Obviously someone is trying to scam someone to do with that motor.
Great video. You remained calm and clear. Well explained. Thank you for setting a positive attitude in a very stressful situation.
Feel for u Jolene x and Chad and Jim well done for investigating 😎👍
Chad, I wish the world had more of what you are. Thank you for sharing great life lessons

@Rob Arthur absolutely correct. Regardless of how or why it got there it did, now the engine is in need of a rebuild.
@@arfonjones7188 he said that before he saw the chunks in the folds.
You would have to throw a handful of swarf in the sump to achieve that, notably the pickup screen is probably covered in it too
Very humble reaction. Got all m'y respect man!. Keep on being that great. Jolene is doing an awesome job at the camera as usual
Holy cow that filter was insane. This is pretty incredible. Glad the engine is going back, sorry Jolene and Chad were deceived.
Glad it’s resolved now you can move on with another engine and get this build completed .
Gonna be amazing can’t wait 👊🏻

I know where a3.8 1964 jaguar complete in car and chea
Been looking for the followup on that motor. I'm watching it now.
What a class act. My hat off to you for the manner in which you took care of a very bad situation.
You are admirable, as angry as you could be you still speak calmly and give thought to your words. I look forward to this new story and having you and Jolene happy and having confidence in the engine.

Stuff happens, you learn from it and deal with it appropriately. And I've said it before, the world needs more Jim.
You both are very lucky to have found those problems. I've seen these videos and it looked like and sounded like a good engine.
Great job hanging in there and dealing with it. Kudos to you both
Very respectful to the person who sold u the motor.. glad it all worked out. I however would have check the filter first because it tells you allot about an engine.
Glad you decided to go with a different engine, there was definitely something hinky goin on
I think you handled that really well guys, and to get the result you wanted, excellent.
Hi Jolene and Chad, I am so sorry you got scammed on the jag motor. Its actually heart breaking on what was found. Thank you for your video
Chad and Jolene will have a solution. Very sad that the engine is damaged. This is going to be a good lesson for everyone.
Hard to see them have to deal with this.
Glad you have resolved the engine issue and can now move on with the build with a new motor.
Well said Chad....you are a most forgiving and compassionate heart.... happy that Jolene will get back her money and that you both will be able to move forward... Jim rocks!! 👍🇨🇦
Chad. You are a class act. Sorry for what you had to go through that engine. I wish you the best with the new engine 👏😊
Sorry for the trouble. Thanks for the hard work you two
Another great video thanks guys the oil that jim dumped out of filter was very clean
So very sorry brother and little sister !!! I have been there myself !!!! I commend both of you for being civil with the seller
!!!! Im glad that you were able to make things good !!!! Yall are so awesome !!! Sorry that yall had so much trouble !!!
The final conclusion - Chad style. This could be a movie! Get your popcorn.
Best channel on TH-cam.
Keep up the good work team Hiltz!
You are so right here!
Glad to hear that at least Jolene got her money back. Really sad that it had to work out that way. Hope that she finds an even better engine!!! Chad showed real class in making it "a learning experience"!!!!
Good evening jolene and chad I’m so sorry this happened to you both and thank you for sharing your journey and congratulations to all of the winners

So happy you guys worked it out.
glad you finally got the situation sorted, good look with the new one
Jolene deserves the best !! :) wouldn't want to see her standing on the side of the road beside a stalled bugatti in her wedding gear on the way to her wedding
I appreciate your realtalk!
It's the realist!
Keep up the great job!
Chad it takes a confident person to objectively gather proof to prove their concern. You deserve a huge amount of credit for your attitude. The seller may want to reevaluate his abilities in the future. Well done!!
Iowa in the House. That engine breaks my heart. I feel for you guys!!
Chad and jolene about the fan you can buy a stud the same size for the thread but it has a step down from the size of the bolt head they are used on many older British cars. Keep up the great work the both of you 👍 👏
People get shot for way less than that back here in the states. You Canadians are such nice and understanding people, hope the different engine works out better. Good luck!
Hard learned lesson but excellent documentation on the issues glad you looked in the oil filter
Watching the video when Doug drops off the engine and hearing Chad ask about the “oil change” makes ya wonder. It sucks that this happened but I like to believe that stuff happens for a reason and sometimes bad stuff happens so that good things can happen. Cut your losses and move forward onto bigger and better things.
Getting your money back! I'm glad he's taking the engine back and you two are getting a better engine! I'm 62 & been there and done that.
Looking forward to more videos, Godspeed from the Yakima Valley in Washington State!
Your a class act. I like how politely you handled that. I wish we were neighbors!
Sad to see that the motor is not what you expected but good on you to go threw it and find the red flag issues 👍 glad to hear that you two convinced the seller to issue a refund . Moving forward wish you guys all the best
It was so good to be able to fall back on Bernie is he such a very nice man and is full of knowledge with English cars i am very sure you'll get a good engine from him
I'm glad you were able to talk the seller into doing the right thing and refunding your money. More often than not in those situations you're just SOL. Hope the next motor is done right but now at least you know what to look for.
Well done explaining the problems, and a good thing it’s going back and your money comes back to you guys , start fresh with a full rebuild watching and learning through the process then you will know the new engine inside and out . Just keep moving forward it will all come together in the end .👊👊
That motor is a boat anchor, I agree with most of the comments on here, you showed great restraint in not losing it. The old saying goes if want something done right sometimes you just have to do it yourself.
I'm glad you're going to get an engine from Bernie, he's a great old guy from what we have seen of him. Didn't he offer you a Jaguar motor for Jolene's Bugatti about the time you got that one from Doug?
Cannot believe Doug's part in this and I hope he makes good with that, thank God the mind of Jim went right to a main source cause if the engine had been started it would not have lasted long. Great move Jim!
I could be wrong but I believe they ran the motor in one of the previous episodes did they not?
@@richardmondor1360 Yes. The "seller" had it running on a run stand at his place when they took a look at it. Even had a radiator setup on it, and also started it up when he dropped it off at Chads shop.
@@eanwatson876 That's what i thought...
Sad day, been there. Glad to see you have a light at the end of this tunnel. Onward and Up.
Chad you are the definition of the word gentleman I've only been following your channel for about a month and I'm happy I found it. I can see you and work very much the same bouncing from one project to another and back again. my wife calls me a "scatter brained genius" a title I will gladly share with you.
Keep up the good work
It's a good outcome that you could convince Doug to refund you the cost of the engine.
We have all learned a lesson today . Glad that you could talk about it with us.
Good morning from Korea. Yesterday was a hard day. Hopefully this will be resolved gracefully.
That sucks.
I really appreciate you're positive attitude towards a negative event. Kodos to you and Jolene
You can now feel the power that media has. Without all of these videos being viewed by so many people It could have happened that you would have not gotten an acceptable response from the seller. If the seller ever wants to walk out in the sunshine again he has to do what is right.
I am in awe that you guys are so calm. I tip my hat to you sir. I have no such patience.
Congratulation on your return of the engine, I am glad you worked it out. Wish you well on the next one
Really pleased that this was resolved.
Very well said and done Mr.Bad Chad. I learn alot watching your shows.
Thank you Ms.Jolene ,keep your head up.
Gut wrenching, to be so excited to install an engine. Now to look for another suitable engine. Good luck and I know you will find another one.
Don't be too discouraged. It's good you found it now than later!
Sorry you guys had to deal with that motor...Thanks for letting the viewer's see what can happen.
Rock on Bad Chad and Beautiful Jolene.
