It is not just safety glasses, you are still wearing the hoody with dangling cords.
Very nearly out a hoody cord in nissan Terrano alternator last year....now I rip them out .
When I was an engineer, I would never dream of going anywhere near machines without eye protection and safety boots on. It had been drummed into me. I am surprised that you haven't had a visit from a government safety bod yet.
I don’t know if it’s still the case, but HSE were only interested once you employed five staff members.
You could loose everything?
I'm sure you have a spanner that'll tighten it up.
'Loose'...ffs
Toolrooms where I worked over the past 30 years would not even let you in the shop unless you had safety glasses on, some for any visitors, same for steel toe shoes.
For the ticking noise, try using a poor man's stethescope, a bit of garden hose held to your ear and move the other end around to find the source.
Having worked for a Japanese engineering company for over twenty years, operating a machine tool without safety glasses would result in instant dismissal,
Worked for a company in the late 70's, was not just operating a machine, just being on the floor not wearing them was instant dismissal.
A rare appearance from John. I'm sure more of his input (however brief) would add to the channel.
Just put the glasses on when you turn up for work, keep them on until you leave. Problem solved. Most professional shops have this as policy. From Rolls Royce to McLaren ... they just wear safety glasses at all times on the shop floor.
As for John's hearing .. you are flat out wrong there, being slightly deaf does NOT protect you from further damage ... actually it accelerates it. You have damaged/destroyed say 50% of the tiny hairs inside the ear .. they do NOT grow back. The lod noises are still detroying them ... but you have less of them. Worse, you don't hear the noises as being so loud so you take even less care to protect them.
Protect your remaining hearing! Think if it this way: if you had one eye left, how much care would you take of the other one.
Tinnitus and hearing loss are the second major cause of suicide after depression. Think about that for a moment ...
I’m a retired maintenance supervisor who was in charge of a large group (40) of tradesmen. Any time one was observed without wearing their compliment of PPE got rewarded with a 2 day suspension without pay. Continued behaviour put them on the path to termination, and yes, there were terminations. You guys should be taking safety very seriously and be checking each other often. Can you imagine the feeling if one of you witnessed the other doing work without safety glasses for instance, said nothing, and they lost an eye. Think on that for a bit. Make safety a priority please.
Very true, 100% agree.
I bet you’re a barrel of laughs.
Hi
How I hate the safety police. If I choose not to wear glasses or ear defenders or whatever it is my choice I have been doing my thing for nearly 40 years and have learnt that there are no accidents there are only actions and consequences. I have seen many young student hurt themselves never seriously but with enough pain to make them more vidulent in the future. There is nothing like a little pain to make you consentrate and once you have had a minor incedent you learn and move on and teach.
@@paulnolan1352 I am, and I wanted to make sure all the people who worked for me went home with all their fingers, toes, eyesight and no injuries so they could enjoy their time with their families and see their children grow up. Lost time accidents were a rarity in those companies I worked for with well a defined safety policy. You can still have an awesome workplace while being strict with safety.
@@MarcusZukas The problem with eyes is that the first incident can be a major incident.
Good to see John! Best regards to him!!
From a safety point of view your attitude is very slack you ha duty to your workers to ensure they are properly prepared for any situation!!!
Great to see John pop in
At last, Great to see John on camera if only for a few minutes. Hope he agrees to show crank gring and polishing since he has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Dave Boscher, Channel Islands, Guernsey
I worked in an industrial environment many years ago for a company that had a bad reputation for injuring their staff and they wisely decided to do something about it, and over the next few years strove to attain a 5 star safety rating, which they finally achieved. So proud were they that they decided to invite the press over to report on the award ceremony, all the directors there in their suits with big smiles holding this certificate when suddenly there was a loud crack and three contractors fell through the roof and landed in a groaning heap right next to them in full view of the cameras, not the kind of publicity they were hoping for !!
I rebuilt a 1978 kawasaki Z 1000 D1 engine, it run lovely, quiet and smooth. I then fitted a set of square slide carburettors and it sounded like the Salvation Army tambourine band had arrived ? The slides were rattling in their grooves so much I thought the cam chain tensioner had collapsed ! Check the induction side of the motor before going over things you know to be good : )
i worked with a handyman for a while, early 2000s, we attended to a small family business to refurb their office and reception. whenever we needed to enter the factory floor to retrieve various tools and equipment, you had to don various PPE. safety glasses, hard hat, vest. there were signs at every station for the PPE requirements and it was a constant reminder to everyone of safety. even the break room had big posters on safety and PPE.
the wife/receptionist saw my boss in what looked like sneakers/runners and was being torn a new one, when he interrupted her and told her they were a safety shoe with a steel toe cap. he had to actually take a shoe off just to prove his point. he was then asked to get actual designated safety work boots to ensure that if inspectors came in while we were working it wouldn't affect them and their safety rating. he did. then charged them the cost of the boots. when they received the bill they wrote a cheque on the spot without question. some businesses take safety very seriously and others only after something goes wrong.
Any large company can demonstrate that safety is actually a good business decision. The cost of an injured employee being off work is huge. A lot of cost is hidden apart from the obvious.
Yep, do get those safety glasses, you could loose an eye, then what? Decent boots, get company trousers. Plus the guilt feeling if something did go wrong. You've made the workshop look nice, now make the working environment safe. Keep up the videos.
As soon as you enter the workshop... glasses on..... it doesn't even need to be a job you're doing that could cause an accident
I remember working in a workshop & got a shard of steel wire in my eye from someone using a wire brush on an airtool.
Pulled it out but eye got pretty painful & had to go to Moorfields eye hospital in London to get the rest of it out.
The other eye was painful too..
So I ended up with eye patches on both eyes.
Navigating my way home via the London underground on my own was interesting 😂
@@ronald1968 Good policy!
Come on Lee, Isaac AND JOHN !!!!!! :-) :-) :-) ..... Health and Safety AGAIN...... :-) :-) :-) .... That Long Bolt sticking out on the Hone Head.... Such a trap for Serious Injury. Your 'Hoody' Sleeve came So Close a few times in the Few Seconds that I saw ..... Isaacs 'Tick, Tick' .... Could maybe be a leak on the Exhaust Manifold, just on One of the Outlets .... I have been caught by that 'Mechanical' Sounding Noise .... Best to ALL from ChCh, NZ
I even wear safety glasses when using my mower or Strimmer please look after yourselves and put up wear safety glasses signs there are plenty to down load free from the net.
Keep up the good work.
I actually wear a face shield using a strimmer I got a pebble whacked of my forehead that was close enough to my eyes that I didn't feel I wanted to be lucky a second time !
That was a new experience. I’ve always hear about John, and seen the back of his head a few times, but never heard him speak.
Don't skimp on safety and safety training I was involved in an accident at work case that went to the Hugh Court you really really do not want to be there
What surprised me about the safety glasses incident was that it bothered me so much, especially since I'm a very long way from being Mr careful health and safety myself
I have commented on the safety concerns with this company on several occasions including wearing shorts which is totally unacceptable in a machine shop.
*Lose - not loose ffs.
Yes safety glasses are a must …
Losing one eye is more likely than losing both and you can get by on one.
First time I've ever heard John talk.....need more of the old boy on here
eye wear -- get some
I always left a minimum of .003 - .004 for honing to ensure the boring "grooves" are removed and the proper surface finish for the rings is attained.
Is Isaac related to Kaleb off Clarksons farm? 😛
You need to get a H&S consultant in for a day to give you a report.
Great video 👍 The evidence is on tape,worked with an old machinist and he nearly removed his wedding ring finger on a bridgeport mill
Compliancy is scary.
Blimey, did John get extra pay for a talking part? Lol. I remember in the 70s stripping Perkins 4108s (I think it was) out of Bedford CF vans and spending 2 hours scrapping engine oil out of the sump! 8 hours in a park running the engine for the ice cream machine and fridge didn’t do them justice and summer didn’t give time to maintain them. Wot a job, loved it. Stay well guys and remember eyes first.
Isaac the manifold gaskets are easy to change dude, the manifolds themselves are prone to cracking over age as is the turbo up pipe
Normally the done upgrade on these ej's is a set of sti manifolds ported and normally people fit a "Harvey style" up pipe
If you get stuck on finding these contact Allan at ASperformance in birtley, near Newcastle he's the guy up here for sorting scooby manifolds etc
Do all the gaskets around turbo while your on as they all perish too,
Need anymore advice or parts give me a shout, I work with a big scooby breaker up here and a bodyshop/garage where all we pretty much know is subarus 😂
Keep up the good work and don't loose heart for the legacy it's a nice car matey ❤
The Caterpillar dealer I worked at years ago had a 3208 come in. It had broken the intake valve head off in one cylinder of the V8. It bounced around in that cylinder, came out of the intake, and bounced around in the other 3 cylinders. These engines had a common intake plenum cast in and used a crossover between banks that the air filter housing bolted down to. Somehow that valve head crossed over and bounced around in all 4 cylinders of that opposite side. It was found in the muffler, pounded into a ball about half the size of a golf ball. I still do not comprehend how that engine ran that long.
The block was bored OS with one cylinder requiring a sleeve.
Safety first lads. When manure goes wrong, it always goes wrong in the blink of an eye.
The company that is going to lose everything every YT post
Lee and Isaac may laugh, but little do they know - we're here for John!
Ive been the H and S rep at our company and believe me if they get their teeth into you if something goes Pete Tong you are in it . Plus nobody should be working alone in that enviroment. There was a garage nearby that one evening the bloke was there on his own and the roller door stuck so he does no more than get a ladder and climb up some 20ft next thing the ladder slips and he went with it broken arm and other injuries led in carpark for hours . Accidents happen but dont make it easier .
That's happened where I used to work
You'll find it hard to find that Perkins crankshaft! It's a Perkins 4.318 was only fitted in a few Massey tractors. I have a few used Conrods in stock. Std overhaul parts are available but any other parts made nla a long time ago. Good luck finding a crank.
Yep got to keep on top of health and safety. 👍👍👍
The ticking, probably the hour meter.
A bit of John, bless him.
Prosecution does not need an accident to happen. As the director responsible for health and safety you have failed the Management of Health and Safety, the video is essentially an unsolicited admission of guilt. Health and safety requires a continuous effort; how often do you review your risk assessments? Can Isaac demonstrate his comprehension of the risk assessments? Work at it; hate to see you fail.
Nice to meet John and hear him speak let’s hope we hear more of his wisdom
Hello John, good to see you.
I once went for a routine eye exam and while the ophthalmologist was quite happy with my eyesight he was less than impressed with the shard of metal embedded in my cornea (it was the use of the word 'embedded' which had the greatest effect), I needed it to be dug out with a pin and then a small razor used to remove the rust from my eye, it was not a pleasant experience, since then I have been rather 'fussy' about PPE, please please pretty please at least use safety glasses when using machinery.
Johns involvement & your reaction was comedy gold. Thats what we want to see 😂😂
Dont panic. fix with a baked bean tin, gun gum and couple jubilee clips
The infamous John makes an appearance on camera now that's a bonus lol
Ticking noise on the scooby could be an exhaust manifold leak. We haven't heard it yet, have we? You never got the manifold with the engine did you? For all we know the manifold is warped and it is leaking at the mount to the engine.
Its all fun and games til somebody looses an eye...then its still fun and games but you can't see properly...
Why not try glasses on a lanyard thing, like surfers and sun glasses, then they're always there and easy to pop on.
PPE is a bifg deal here in the states... I have zer oexperience with UK / europe but over here OSHA takes it seriously and even if seen on a youtube video they get world of it and will visit a shop.. im big on PPE when i work on my own stuff.. if im impact wrenching or hammering on metal I have my protective headset on.. face shield and gloves for griding or any work where i might get filings in my eyes or pieces of metal pinging my hands / arms.. yes im lucky enough when working in my own garage to have Air Conditioning so wearing thicker clothing is easier to handle.. it seems in the UK no one does.. running a lathe or a boring bar or the block surfacing machine are all places metal shavings can easily end up in your eye.. and it doesnt take much to cause real harm... ive had a hammer fall on my head from above when on a jobsite.. and was able to joke around about it because it whacked my hardhat.. I hada cutoff wheel fly apart on an angle grinder and my face shield and jacket got pinged with pieces that bounced off the bench after hitting the safety guard I hadnt removed... we all know that working in a machine shop is a dangerous place to work and takes respect of each other and of the machines.. but we dont have to make it any more dangerous than it is already by not wearing PPE
Regarding the LR engine, I would recommend the owner get the ECU tuned to reduce the HP which is really torque, by about 10HP. Customer will likely not like the loss of power until the engine keeps running.
Strange, the foreman and the employee laugh and joke together about a serious occupational safety issue. Is this common in the UK?
Definitely not, it's only common in Barnum engines, they are unique in every respect you could possibly imagine.
Why would the brief and welcome appearance of John impugn losing everything; even if the crank grind remains as elusive as forever...........
I got into the habit of keeping a set of safety glasses in my car just in case I visited anywhere that had machinery working. It worked in my favour as certain shops would let me on the work floor instead of waiting in office.
On the Pep/HS point never take a blind eye approach to it the legal implications can be immense. That said there is finality in fatality. Always have risk assessments documented and available for inspection. A direct issue is the wearing of gloves in a machine shop generally no never any rotational parts can grab the glove and pull a hand finger arm inward, muchio ouchio. Also short sleeves should be worn when using such machinery for the same reason. as indeed should be the use of all safety screens specified with a given machine. Lets be honest would you look for a gas leak with a candle in a power cut?
Get a mechanics stethoscope they are fantastic, sensitive and always locates noises, you will be amazed how good they are. If there is a noise on a part you can not get to, it will give you a very good idea what area it is coming from and they are cheap. also the probe is about a toot long!
WT Consultancy needs a call.
Who`s the new bloke ?? Is he the the guy that doe`s the crank grinding ??
Most people take H & S seriously post injury, but it's normally too late by that time!!
Safety first Lee get ppe on
Twuz nice to see and hear John on camera.
Cheers Lee and Isaac, just carry on doing your thang.
Quick question how to you adjust the size when you are honing.. cracking chanal
I had similar ticking rattling noise on an old mg zr V6 that had a plastic intake manifold. One of the butterflies had come loose inside and was rattling around like a Nut as the air passed through, bit of a faff to check but may be your issue, also just try removing the entire exhaust as could be cat or the leak as well. Good luck mate
I`ve just put an oscilloscope on a Subaru alternator that was not supposed to be charging enough. The car was running rough. The garage said it was charging but not enough to run the car properly. I tested it and it makes 14.2 volts. I thought that was OK. But might be a phase down. The oscilloscope said all 3 phases are ok. Perhaps there is a short when the amps go up but I`m thinking the cars ECU might need a resetting or something. There is a comms terminal on the alternator that the ECU tells it when it should charge.
Tractors.....don't you just love them? I used to, but now I'm an ex-tractor fan!!
Don't be a hater 😂
Hi Lee and Issac. Loving the videos but just a quick question. You keep metioning cosworth 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive heads and blocks but what's the differences. You may have mentioned it in the past so I appologies for not listening if that's the case.
Regarding the Jaguar head, back in the late seventies we never had a lot of aluminium heads (mainly cast iron) but if my memory serves me correctly we used to ‘ peen’ around the edge of the seat (on the aluminium)with a single point air operated tool before we cut the seat . 🤔🤔
Few things to mention firstly the ticking noise on the Scooby can be caused by an exhaust leak and as you both mentioned its a bit noisy I'd go their first..
I work in a tool room and use grinders,lathes etc and if we are caught without PPE it's a yellow card,caught again its a dissaplinary and possible dissaplinary action..I know you both had a little dig with regards to jet ski glasses and ear defenders but believe me swarf In the eye could cost you health wise and also money wise..
Not a moaner and love the channel just would hate to see anyone injured..
Could we see some of the engines built in vehicle's running.
We need more of John on the channel
would love to see the work on the Perkins crank on video please especially grind the journals
Sorry but I've lost count how many videos you have said we must do better at safety. The comment doesn't mean anything anymore, nothing changes.
Nowt wrong with a safety squint!
No one has 100% hindsight or foresight only experience matters.
And we know from experience that people in engneering environments lose eyes and that safety glasses prevent a lot of the accidents.
The Master has spoken 👍
It's too bad John won't get on camera, I bet he has all kinds of neat things he could teach us. The kind of stuff only an old timer knows, and certainly no disrespect in that saying, actully the opposite.
More John please!
Seems like you treat health and safety as a joke! You won't! When the worst happens.
Good job John.
Hate those sort of noises that you can't find!!
Have a ticking noise in the cabin of my volvo240 and it's rpm related but can't hear it in the engine bay (stethoscope probe)
Welcome to the Subaru world,something always broken
🎵You took a fine to leave me loose seat🎶☹🤣Bob M. South Wales
A ticking noise that moves about. Sounds like something arcing maybe.🤔
Those exhaust valves on the Perkins head are recessed way too far would have had starting issues
Maybe Fridays should have a special guest segment for John ?
new name , THE COSSSY KILLER/
Did you miss legs day 🤣🤣
Just hope you don't get a Perkins V8 in as they blow up majorly!. We had a Driver running back down M6/M1 in a Ford Cargo Unit with a Perky V8 plod stopped him as smoked the whole motorway out as it decided it didn't like it's internals!
Johns a star he bored my X7 barrels for me in 1980 !
I’m I right in thinking his shop then was in Bear St ?
Barum engineering used to be in Bear street, I have a barum engineering sign from when it was there.
Get warning stickers on every machine
And don't just buy a pair each. Get a good stock of glasses as they will scuff up. Last thign you want is not to see the job easily and then decide to take them off....
Think the safety glasses dialog should be put to bed, these are intelligent adults that can make their own decisions.
👍👍
When i we going to see john doing his magic on a crankshaft.?
Hi Lee, Have you checked out ( LR TIME )
Probably the most knowledgeable guy on the TD V6 also funny for a German 😂
I watch because what they do engines I bet behind the scenes there’s more banter especially reading comments
