Alreet mate! 🏅"She's not owa Heaton" 🤣🤣 only a Northeasterner would know 😉 I wouldn't change the oil yet, check the air filter, clean the cream cheese out of the rocker cover, filler cap and the pipe, brake cleaner and the air line will do, borrow some trade plates of immunity and take it for a good blast out. There'll be loads of damp in the exhaust, and with that additive ya put in it'll need worked through under load really. Gotta love a bit of Golden Syrup, I have it on me pork chops 😋😋😋😁👍
Clean out the small pipe from Oil filler cap to air filter, (pulls off both ends), if full of moisture it makes it burn bad. Will run a lot better. Great channel, best wishes.
Great into the Fiesta, can't believe there 30 years old now 😮 I had three of those when last in UK 🇬🇧 The middle one was a diesel ⛽ 👌 Like how you smeared the filter "O" ring 💍 🤔 Perhaps a voice over might explain the virtues 😂 of this practice 🤔 Carry on Steve, great work as always ❤
The milky stuff in oil filler cap is probably condensation, clean out cap with degreaser & set the tapppets run up to temperature to clear the carb cleaner & see how see goes. Great video Steve
I had the exact same fiesta same colour trim exact same the breathers always got cream in them it was just bad design take it off soak it in petrol or brake cleaner i would suggest to take pipe off too and clean all the way back them engines were simple and ran forever hope this helps brake cleaner is good for cleaning stuff and wd40 for lubricant i miss tinkering lol
Castrol GTX Classic 10w/40 if you look it up online or similar for that pushrod fiesta engine. the black is definately soot. if it was blue smoke i would be more worried because that is oil smoke. white is condensation. i would at least leave the new oil in a while longer to wash out that engine a little bit. it sounds very healthy for its age its not too tappy at all. one thing i would definately change is the gearbox oil. its going to stink and be nasty after 35 years of service. Then the coolant and thermostat. brake fluid. then MOT 🙂
I once put fuel system cleaner in my Mini Metro. I was standing there with the bonnet up letting it run, and when I looked over the bonnet the entire street was full of smoke! Oops!
Intro inspired by Forgotten Sons by Marillion? Love the chaos but you can still get stuff done. Leave the car running longer to try burn off the fuel system cleaner before changing your oil again.
That smell you identified is Tate & Lyle's golden syrup. Best way I ever found to get an old oil filer off was to use an old belt from my trousers, just loop it over the filer then back through the buckle and pull, works way better than those chain devices and doesn't rip your filter to shreds. Cheers - keep up the good work.
I wouldnt change the oil yet, its cold so some of that is condensation, but run it longer like you said and see if it clears up. It needs to run and drive a minimum of 15mins at normal RPM to properly warm up and burn off anything. Good work as always!
this way of yours is good to show what most car builders actually do at home without fancy garages, I like the way you do things even if they sometimes go through the most difficult way. Viva, I hope you get it right and the Fiesta is a really fun side project on the side, hopes Jani from Finland as a builder and hobbyist of two Vauxhalls and many Fords
Hello Steve, great video,on the cap you could use a few things,maybe some WD 40 do the job.the creamy stuff inside it happened on my Corsa ,short trips dont help.
Top vid Sir, Smoke might be more to to with the fuel additives, could be wrong, semi synthetic oil burns a bluish grey coloured exhaust, the white smoke suggests something else in the mixture. Looking forward to next weeks👍🏻
I suspect the smoke has more to do with the additive you put in the fuel. Synthetic vs mineral oil shouldn't make any difference *if* they are the same viscosity.
Raised a smile Steve, as you were reversing in, noticing the exhaust output, the advert on the bus was: "cleaner air for our city."

Re heater matrix. Set you compressor output to 10 psi and pressurise the matrix. Check for leaks whilst immersing the matrix in water.

That's all getting done mate, thank you 👍

Class! Will do mate its getting done 👍

Good,good idea i think you can buy a belt ratchet type one, I'll have to invest, thanks mate 👍
Great intro 👍👍
Thanks mate 👍
That took me back some years, love the Fiesta. Such a shame the idiots at Ford stopped production.
I’ve used the huge screwdriver method on oil filters before
It never fails, it's messy but it never fails 😆
The fuel system cleaner makes it smoke while its burning off the crud I'd run it through first
Will do mate, I'll give it a chance 👍

Great video again my friend least you are getting there with the cars .
Thanks mate, appreciate it👍
Nice work, think thats condensation out the exhaust, get the breather cleaned should hopefully improve thing's.. look forward to next vid as always 👍🙂

I wrote with google translator, I can understand English, but the writing is more difficult, so I don't know if my answers are understandable

I also have a hc Viva 4 door 1971 which I have completely restored and a Cavalier model year 1978 which comes with a tuned x20xev engine

It will smoke more with molly carburettor cleaner

valve stem oil seals are probably rock hard

What about letting the fiesta warm up properly, then checking the smoking? Maybe still needs mineral oil, probably?
That smoke is white Steve, makes me think headgasket, especially with the forbidden mayonnaise on the filler cap
Hi mate looking good pal it's Been Fxxking cold hope all ok Simon.
I suspect the smoke has more to do with the additive you put in the fuel. Synthetic vs mineral oil shouldn't make any difference *if* they are the same viscosity.
Did you do the air filter, most important bit for clean running
No it looked pretty new mate
Clean the oil cap and filter that an inside along with the pipe. You will be surprised the difference it will make
Will do mate, it's getting done 👍
Got let it warm up properly plus you put additive in definitely needs valve clearance doing lol
steve, i wouldn't trust halfords to mend a puncture let alone a car!
that wasnt the original oil filter. the original would have been motorcraft.
