Hi this is wandile From South Africa Pretoria. My Ford Ka 1.3 head gasket was blown and im currently unemployed. Money is tight, I was able to do it myself through your help. Thank you sir
Your video are much helpful sir..I am not a mechanic yet but working towards becoming one.. With the help of your videos I was able to replace the chain guides on my 1,3 rocam engine..it took me 3 days😂..but finally it's and the noise is gone...thank you😊🙏🏾
Thanx for the comment. I am busy editing the second part of the replacement as well as the third part where I am replacing the timing chain. Look out for them over the next two weeks.
This could be a number of things. 1. Bad Starter Cable 2. Bad Battery 3. Faulty Ignition System 4. Fuel System Problems 5. Engine Problems It is impossible to diagnose over the internet. best bet is to get it checked out by a Mechanic if you are not sure.
Hi,my bantam start getting me trouble a month ago.i drien the oil to give it a surface then i release there is petrol in oil because the was very thin like tinners.w hat can be problem
I am busy filming the next part. Only got the head back from the engineering works this week. Was busy working on it yesterday. Aiming for Wednesday with the new video.
What a great video! I want to know though, just to remove the valve cover to replace the valve cover gasket, is it still necessary to remove the air cleaner and all the other parts?
Thanx for the comment. If it's only the valve cover gasket, it is an easy 10min job. No need to strip any further as nothing except the hoses is attached to the valve cover. . Also won't need to drain oil. You may even get away with not removing the coil-pack that is attached to the valve cover. If not it's also not a train wreck.let me know if you get it right?
@@JacoBadenhorst thanks so much! I thought as much, but loosened all the bolts and that thing is not moving for $h1t 🤣🤣 I even tried to jimmy a small flat in, but too scared that I might crack the cover. I’ve janked and pulled it, but daai ding is vas!
@@justinfine99 be careful to put a screwdriver under it. The head is aluminum and the screwdriver /prybar will mar the surface where the gasket mates.maybe try and see if you can get a putty knife or something like that under the gasket. So that you cut the gasket off without trying to pry the valve cover away from the head. (If the description makes sense) just make sure that you don't drop small pieces of gasket into the engine.
I found it online as a pdf download. I can't remember exactly where. Try this one and let me know if you don't come right. www.manualslib.com/manual/1106266/Ford-2002-Bantam.html
That is a massive job. If I need to do crank and big-ends I will definitely do a video, but for now. "Don't fix it if it's not broken". Thanx for the comment though.

@@JacoBadenhorst Thank you very much! I have a Ford focus 1 Duratec Rocam, I have to remove the block head, I am doing repairs in my garage. But there are very few videos with my car, but the Rocam engines are the same I noticed

Great!. It is definitely not a small job. I'm also not a Mechanic by trade. Keep it up and never stop learning.
I like very informative n educational ❤
Whatever my bakie was suffering from, watching and following ur infotainment video's I think now I graduated 🎓 to being home mechanic. 😆 🤣 😂
Cheers, thanks for the help

High Jaco i desperately need help, recently am experiencing hard start on my Ford bantam 1.3, what might be the cause of that
This could be a number of things.
1. Bad Starter Cable
2. Bad Battery
3. Faulty Ignition System
4. Fuel System Problems
5. Engine Problems
It is impossible to diagnose over the internet.
best bet is to get it checked out by a Mechanic if you are not sure.

How sure are you that it is petrol? Normally you won't see a little fuel mixed in oil.
Does the level on the dipstick increase?
Can we please see more of the video

Получается ты снял головку вместе с выпускным коллектором?
вы должны снять выпускной коллектор, прежде чем вы сможете снять головку.
Where did u buy a workshop manual and what is it called?
I found it online as a pdf download. I can't remember exactly where. Try this one and let me know if you don't come right.

Make a video for crankshaft and big ends

Привет! Помоги мне! Какой у тебя размер поршневых колец??? Какой нужен размер?? У меня такой же мотор Ford Focus 1.6 Rocam
Вам придется проконсультироваться с производителем. Извините. Я понятия не имею, какой размер использует rocam 1.6.
@@JacoBadenhorst 82.070 наш размер колец! Я всё узнал )))
😢 I think my Baby also blown that Gasket as she has that milky stuff and chows Coolant, no bubbles in reservoir. 14 years now, she still a virgin
If the oil looks like chocolate milkshake, she has definitely got oil in the coolant and that = a blown head gasket. Let me know how it goes.
Я что то не понял, ты просто перевернул головку блока вверх ногами????
Да, глядя на голову, она перевернулась и встала на голову. Извините, если перевод плохой. Пришлось воспользоваться гуглом.
@@JacoBadenhorst понял, спасибо, а как быть с поршневой? Ее тоже надо снимать шлифовать?
