The info Chris shared about the engine that sucked up water-leading to the cracked cylinder liner was both interesting and an eye-opener. Great stuff..!
A mate did that with a Renault Espace through a ford years ago, low or bumper sited air intakes or something. The mechanic said "they all do that, sir".
Chris takes the time to invent something. This is how you recognize a real professional, and then also take the time to explain it properly. It is a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. Such a video can easily take an hour because it won't get boring.
Brilliant ingenuity! It’s what made British engineers the envy of the world. Your ability to overcome these complex engineering headaches with the minimum of fuss is a credit to you both. These videos should be played in schools to help boost the ever dwindling enthusiasm for STEM careers at technician level. Keep it up chaps.
Chris's home made tools are brilliant. Especially as they save time and a lot more disassembly. The schrader valve/glow plug tool is pure genius. That oil had been oil far too long, but I'm glad everything cleaned up. I can't wait to see if it runs, and I can't wait to see the new customs purchase. Top work. 👍
It is such a joy to watch a video like this where camera shy Chris decides he is no longer camera shy and brings us all great knowledge and skill. It is marvellous. Well done Chris. (and of course Rob).
Chris's little discourse on the valve was extraordinary! Who needs Descartes, Derrida and Wittgenstein. Everybody needs a Chris in their life because he can fix anything! Absolutely amazing.
I don't think it's fair to underestimate the contribution Rob makes, they both contribute content in their own way and that's why it works. Keep up the good work guys.
Wow, these videos just get better each time. I’m no mechanic but I understand what is needed and Chris clearly has a talent for explaining it, very well done, thanks.
I genuinely look forward to Monday/Wednesday and Friday evenings just to watch the next one, In the trade myself and love all the videos you guys put out, best channel on TH-cam 💪😎
That’s what you get with someone who knows what they’re doing, explained brilliantly and made the tools as you go along, a lot of know how saves a fortune, if not in money in time alone, let’s hear this Swiss watch purr again 👏👏👏
I've fed cord into a cylinder & lifted the piston to hold the valve in place while I've removed a valve's collets .... it was petrol though, so the spark plug hole was bigger
Really interesting seeing the results of a hydro locked engine. I’ve watched loads of videos of cars attempting to cross the ford at Rutherford and failing. Now I know the catastrophic engine failure that’s happening for my entertainment 😂 Thanks Chris 👍
Best episode yet. As an engineer I bodge things as I call it to make them better when they break. Chris's ingenuity with doing the collets is 10/10. Yet at 16 mins in I laughed at the best bodge ever. Rob using the BMW rear quarter box lid to lay on. Honestly an off of the scale bodge worthy of 11/10, like a Marshall Amp 🙂
Where would the channel be without Chris the magician between bodywork and mechanical side and then you have Rob that always Manages to source a part from somewhere what a team 👏🏻
Hello Rob and Chris, excellent work by Chris, people who are driving through Rutherford Falls should watch this video to see the damage they are causing to their engine by driving through 3ft of water. Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Just so impressive to watch, old fashioned mechanics none of this it's broken let's get a new one. Great video Chris and Rob for getting the new parts.
To demagnetise your screwdrrivers ect just tap them hard on your vice, or any other heavy steel or cast metal item, a few times. To remagnetise them just rub a magnet along the blade a few times.
I think I`d flush through 10 litres of gun wash through that blocks galleries, maybe even take the oil pump off as well as the strainer, partially because of the sludge & partly to see if any more rollers come out.. Maybe you can work out how many there should be if you can see the tips of the rollers in the surviving rockers?
If the customer put that car into a garage they would want to take the head off and charge a fortune for it. There’s not many Chris’s left now. Well done for another great video.
Super super job by miracle worker Chris That block don’t half need some oil changes to get every single bit otherwise it’s like valve grinding paste washing round wearing the engine out Do your self a favour and do another oil / filter change before you unload it
Without a shadow of doubt, one of the best videos you've produced. This one's all praise for Chris, his engineering skills are second to none. Plus, his explanation of what he's doing means that even people with a limited mechanical knowledge can make sense of what he's doing. Pure class.
Did similar on a 214 Rover years ago, used a tube spanner with the side cut out, a loop of rope under the inlet manifold and a long bar that sat on the tube spanner with one end through the rope loop and then leant on the other end to compress the valve spring, held the valves up using a compression tester with its schrader valve removed, screwed into the plug hole and connected to my compressor, did all 16 valve stem seals. Where there's a will, there's a way! 👍
Thanks Chris, I now fully understand what hydralock means and exactly what it is. another school day 👍. As you say, I'm one of the ones who enjoys these engine videos as much as the bodywork ones.
I’m not a mechanic but I have been watching your channel for over a year now. This video was very interesting and how Chris made that tool and got all of the bits out of the engine, to me is amazing. Thank you guys. 😊
Another good video. It is so satisfying to make up your own ''special tools''. I have done so many times and still keep them in case I need them again. Rob and Chris go well together.
Well done Chris: great bit of improvisation to save the day! Seeing this I'm reminded of how poorly designed the 1.6HDi oil pans are. The sump plug thread is recessed into the sump pressing and, despite the presence of a small drain hole through the thread (which blocks with carbon sludge) it effectively forms a 'bund' to retain oil and crud when the sump plug is removed. In those I've worked on I've drawn them out to remove the bund effect: it reduces ground clearance for the sump but means that crud in the sump stands some chance of draining fully when the sump plug is removed.
Chris is one clever man. It's a pleasure to watch him work and explain his method in a clear and concise way. With what you both bring to the partnership it's a winner.
Always wondered what an engine looked like internally after encountering Rufford Ford in England! No wonder some of those vehicles were DOA after going through water in those TH-cam videos.
Chris really is an artist of his trade, amazing how he does all these tricks and tips. It was actually very interesting, and informative to see what happens and engine that takes in water. Thanks guys ❤
Back when I was young I would have removed the head. I might not have thought of doing that. Well done to Chris for making a tool and it worked very well. Essential that all the bits be recovered and now we have a nice clean sump pan ready for reassembly. Love the video Rob and Chris take care both of you. 👍👍
One of the best ways to keep the valve closed whilst doing the spring compression is to push in via the spark plug a good quality woven nylon rope into a 1/2 up compression stroke piston...once the rope is in turn the crank and bring the piston up till the rope is all compressed holding the valves shut. you then lock the engine with socket on crank pulley and then do the valve spring compression with your spring compressor tool.... once completed drop the piston and pull out the rope...great way also to change valve stem seals..
I love these insights into what causes engine failures. Invariably it is lack of maintenance and people’s stupidity driving through water which gets sucked into the engine causing catastrophic failure. Chris is a man after my own heart, make a tool yourself, think outside the box. Tremendous result, and you recovered all of the scrap from the sump too 👍🇬🇧😎
Well done Chris! Very clear and very informative. And I love both your accents. I'm not a Brit, but to me your accents sound really pleasant and relaxed.
Really enjoyed this tutorial. Can't wait for the next part. I'm a bit of a mechanical dufus, but I find Chris's explanations really easy to understand.
Proper old skool engineering there Chris, cracking result getting the collet back in, boy it needed an oil change, definitely poor maintenance issue here 😜
All that time in the past when Chris stayed silent on thesevideos we were missing some of the best mechanical explanations available on TH-cam! Thank you for today’s explanation Chris, all really interesting and very ingenious
Very enjoyable, both with the improvised tooling and with the hunt for the debris in the sump. It was CSI Salvage Rebuilds today 😁. Now I‘m looking forward to the next part of the BMW quarter panel replacement (plus this new customs seizure). Cheers and thanks to you both for another educational video.👍
Nice work guys . Great to hear Chris talking his way through the fix. So pleased he called them by their original name , valve collets!! instead of keepers as some people refer to them as these days
I did like that one!! The other old trick to compress a valve spring was to put a load of string down a spark plug hole and push the piston up so that the string held the valve closed. When finished, drop the piston and pull all the string out.
Hi Chris and Rob, just done a similar job on a Corsa 16v petrol (1.4 I think) which had a broken valve spring. We made some brackets to lock the cam pulleys and chain in place, removed one cam, did very similar to you but instead of compressed air, we started by feeding a long cord, bit thicker than a shoelace through the spark plug hole, then turned the engine to trap the valve shut. I had heard about this from 'old school' mechanics, and thought it was a bit of a long shot, but it worked perfect. Thank you for the channel and all the best.
Used to also create custom tools which ended up saving the day on multiple jobs but after you finish you swear blind you will never use them again and lose them only to need them again for the same job months later. Fantastic video and the mics work much better this time
All the comments echo my thoughts, brilliant explanations,filming,thought processes. When you work for yourself there is no idea input from work mates, it all has to come from experience and improvisation. Chris ALL that information put across so even us numpties can learn something in 15 mins, I do wonder if any of your inventions/ modifications don't go to plan. Loved this;
You guys are top notch honestly a Monday ,Wednesday & Friday never goes by without me tuning in to watch you guys in action you work great as a team , Chris I just love the way you go out of your way to explain what you thinks happened and how you go in to great detail what your doing ,love all these great gadgets you make up to get jobs done, well done lads
Great Video Chris... to be honest didn't understand bits of it but great to watch a Car Surgeon save an engine. Such a knowledgeable guy, and improvising to make a tool to do the job. 👍👍
Another easy method is fill the cylinder with rope, thru the plug hole. And had crank the piston up to hold the valve in place. then reverse rotate the crank to remove the rope. I've done this many times and works great.
Another cracking video many thanks just a pointer on magnetic screwdrivers I have had for 40 years a magnetize/demagnetize tool which you just run the hole in the tool Their is 2 holes depending on if you want to demagnetize or magnetize up and down whatever you need to use works every time.
Great video again! I have used string in the past, stuffed down a plug hole till cylinder has plenty in, then turn crank so valves pushe into the seats. Then pull string out when done.
Chris has the knowledge as good as anyone on any TV programme that's ever been on TV. We all thought Edd China was good . I truly think Chris is better all round. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge mate.👌
Hi Chris, in the past I have put the relevant cylinder to the bottom of the stroke and ten fill the cylinder with string, through the spark plug / glow plug hole and then when you have a reasonable amount of string in the cylinder rotate the crankshaft so that the string is compressed between the valve and piston, you can then work on the collet without the risk of the valve dropping.
Let's all remember that at 1 point Chris didn't want to be on camera....now he is presenting the videos
GO CHRIS!!!!!
Great stuff guys 👌
Well done Chris your the best !!!!
Chris , the real star of the show.

Load of string down the hole - wind up to tdc... valve held.. Old often works. Plus you don't have to worry about leaks, with string.

Another easy method is fill the cylinder with rope, thru the plug hole. And had crank the piston up to hold the valve in place. then reverse rotate the crank to remove the rope. I've done this many times and works great.
Great job Chris 👍
Another cracking video many thanks just a pointer on magnetic screwdrivers I have had for 40 years a magnetize/demagnetize tool which you just run the hole in the tool
Their is 2 holes depending on if you want to demagnetize or magnetize up and down whatever you need to use works every time.

Nice work Rob and Chris,all the bits and needle rollers at the bottom of the sump, Chris did a great job with the hand made valve tool.
Hi Chris, in the past I have put the relevant cylinder to the bottom of the stroke and ten fill the cylinder with string, through the spark plug / glow plug hole and then when you have a reasonable amount of string in the cylinder rotate the crankshaft so that the string is compressed between the valve and piston, you can then work on the collet without the risk of the valve dropping.
