  • Join me in the workshop as I use wet grit to clean this FILTHY V12 Jaguar Engine!
    What do you want to see me work on in the workshop?
    Workshop Diaries - From Season 1 Episode 38 ""Using wet grit to clean a filthy V12 Jaguar engine"": Having exploded the rusty Range Rover into its constituent parts we now desperately need to tidy the workshop to make some space to keep all of those bits and pieces organised while we work through the refurbishment.
    Thing is though, despite many hands making light work, Paul seems hell bent on getting busy with his own project; a Jaguar V12 coffee table! So while he hurls ceramic shot beads at his filthy engine, I resign myself to tidying the workshop on my own but promptly find myself a new project to be distracted by... ...a gnarly old boat that is far from ship-shape!...

      Hi Edd, Peter from the 'Alaska' here. Very much enjoying 'Workshop Diaries' and great to see some boat stuff too! Would be happy to advise on/help with getting Phantom's shiny bits back up to 'Alaska' standard.
      Hope you both have a great Christmas despite Covid.

      Oh things WILL GET FINISHED! What they are showing is what it actually takes to get a project done (lots of time/man hours) I’ve been a car builder for 40 years so I can attest to that! When all these one week car build shows started to appear I had many people actually think it only takes a week or so to build a car. That’s Hollywood & Fantasy land!

    A couple of things....1st. Having Paul in the show makes it better. I have always felt that Edd and mainly seen behind the scenes Paul were the backbone of Wheeler Dealers. Not mocking Mike, its just he is a salesman, Edd and Paul fix stuff. The best part of Wheeler Dealers was the fixing of stuff and now we have it. Thanks Edd and Paul. 2nd I like how Edd isn't just sticking to cars. Yes I am a car freak and love them, but throwing in a motorbike, a mechanical orange, and now a boat? The Land Rover Build too is just EPIC. Just makes things more interesting and not so redundant. Lastly, Thank You for showing how things are done. Not this, we fixed it didn't have time to show you onto the next thing, like wheeler dealers did. On Edd's show he takes his time and actually explains things, the mechanicals, the why's and why not's. That is important. Paul is a great addition, and Edd is giving him some spotlight on this show and I am happy to see that. Paul is so knowledgeable and sarcastic at times, the Ying to Edd's Yang (no offense) Paul just makes this show that much better. Much Love to you all from the USA, Be Safe out there. We ALL need to look out for one another. Doesn't matter which side of the pond you are from, under GOD's Eye, we are all Family. Now back to work guys!!!! haha

    From your first episodes it is easy to see the difference having Paul back in the workshop has had as Edd seems a lot more happy and all-round cheerier that I am guessing that there is a lot more banter etc behind the scene.

    So a boat now as well, huh? Along with the complete rebuild of a Range Rover, the Mustang, the Mini, the Alvis (don’t think the internet has forgotten about that), the Orange, the drop tank off a Tornado, the Monkey bike and all the racking for the tools. And it’ll all be ready by Tuesday. But! First things first - build a coffee table out of a knackered V12. What a show! 👍🏻

    Just a hint regarding removing a steel bolt or stud from an aluminium part. Aluminium expands at a greater rate than steel when heated, therefore it's best to heat up the aluminium part which will generally expand the hole and crack any corrosion between the aluminium and the steel bolt. WD 40 or similar can be sprayed on the threads and as the air in the pocket behind the bolt cools it will draw the lubricant further into the threads. To assist further spray freeze can be sprayed onto the bolt near the part which will shrink the bolt a little in the hole.
    The down side to heating the bolt to a red heat or more and then quenching it with lubricant can make it brittle and more likely to break when trying to undo it.

      How does this myth about WD40 being some sort of "lubricant" still hold up with so many people?
      It stands for "Water Displacement 40th try at the formula". Marketing is apparently everything...

  • @bikersreview383
    @bikersreview383 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Edd and Paul for showing us the reality of rebuilding old engines. Anyone can read and follow the simple steps in a Haynes manual, but what most vehicle restoration programs don’t show is that the majority of time can be spent overcoming problems with fasteners that are striped, rounded, seized or broken off. In a future edition I would welcome showing a few more technics such as using easy outs, stud extractors and the inevitable helicoil.

  • @richardross7219
    @richardross7219 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Been through this kind of thing many times. I soak the stud with PB Blaster for as long as I can. When fighting with the stud, I heat it, shut off the torch, wait until the heat flows into the block, soak the stud with water, and put torque on the stud. There is a brief time when the stud cools but the block is still hot. The stud is easiest to back off at that point. Its a very satisfying point when suddenly you can back out the stud. Good Luck, Rick

    I've come to the conclusion that tools move themselves.
    Yesterday a simple job of removing my front bumper (or that's what I thought)

    One of my favourite episodes, because we have all been there. "I've started it so I'm going to finish it, even if it kills me"! 😂 Paul seems like he is a hard worker, the type you would " stand a pint" for on Friday after work, just out of appreciation for his efforts during the week.

    TOP TIP: When attempting to remove stubborn studs, always try to be as close to the 'base' as possible so you do not loose energy through the studs length. Not always possible but a good stud extractor would help. Bloomin hell, I here telling King Ed and Prince Paul tips 🤭🤭🤭

  • @houseofno
    @houseofno 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Love this. I love V12s and my father is a boat enthusiast. This was a wonderful Christmas gift. Thank you Edd and Paul!
    Regarding stuck bolts, here's an idea. After welding the two nuts to the bolt and allowing that to cool, use either a CO2 fire extinguisher or a can of refrigerant, and spray on the bolt only. You can use a sheet of cardboard to shield the block from the CO2 or refrigerant (wear protective equipment when using refrigerant as it can cause burn injuries or eye injuries - CO2 is relatively safe as long as you don't touch it or breathe it). Once the bolt is sufficiently cold, apply heat to the area of the block where the bolt is seated. The science here is to get the bolt supercold to cause the bolt to contract slightly while heating the aluminum, expanding it just enough to free the bolt. Hope this helps.

    • @allt-under-solen
      @allt-under-solen 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Exactly, metal expands of heat so heating the bolt is wrong. Heat the engine block, try to cold the bolt and give the bolt a hard punch before try to remove.

    • @TSPhotoAtlanta

    It is so refreshing to see that 2 pro mechanic , and one of them being the famous Edd China , can also struggle with a pesky stud. You do not know how happy it makes us regular folks. Sometimes when i start a relatively simple job and wife asks, how long will it take ? When I'd say 30-40min tops, she always smiles and say ok. See you in 2-3h then. Hate to admit but she has been right more then not. Such simple jobs can turn into a nightmare with one or many stubborn bolts, studs, an inaccessible bolt/nut, etc. I noticed that shows almost never shows any struggle, even though there probably many are. On WD everything always worked out just fine :-) Glad to see it isn't always easy, even with fancy tools. Thank you for the honest shows !

  • @ericwiltz6584
    @ericwiltz6584 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    With the Torch, you're expanding the bolt. If you apply dry ice to the bolt and heat the block with the torch you'll find those will back out. You can use the same method for removing stuck pistons. Pack the underside with dry ice and you can usually pond them out. Love the program.

    I’d make the coffee table somewhat “exploded” in that I’d use longer booker rod, and float the head above the block with maybe a couple inch gap. Use a couple of piston inside so they can be seen.

    My fave stud removal tool: Sealey AK718. That and an impact gun gets most studs out in a jiffy, provided you get the jaws fairly close to the root of the stud.
    The head studs on a VW WBX still took a lot persuasion to come out, the studs are so long and thin they only work as torsion springs.

    Edd, as an aircraft mechanic/engineer, I was most confused by your attempts of getting the studs out by heating the studs themselves! I can see the point of warming the stud to melt the stud lock but surely it would have been quicker to heat the block and maybe applying a freeze spray on the stud?!?

      Agreed. Heating and quenching the studs is nowhere near as effective as to locally heating the block (expanding the diameter of the tapped hole ever so slightly) while rapidly cooling the stud (shrinking its diameter). With the studs being made out of a steel alloy also means that that they will not rob too much of the blocks heat too quickly, allowing some time for the trick to work.

Great show, Edd and Paul make a preat partnership, not forgetting curmudgeonly old John who owns the Range Rover!

    I've used the double nut method for years, but I've only recently started to use stud extractors and they are far more reliable, at least the good ones that is. The two type I've used are the ones which actually screw onto the stud and put it into a bind, and the other is the roller bearing type which sort of cam locks into place. They've been much faster and more effective than the double nut method.

    Hi Edd and Paul - I enjoy the show and it is so cool to have Paul on camera (and talking!). I have used an old red pipe wrench to grab studs. Works better than the Vice grips. I fit a piece of pipe over the handle to make it even longer.

    The problems with the studs Paul was trying to remove could have been from heating the stud instead of the casting. Rapid cooling might have done the same thing. The hole has to enlarge from the heat and not the stud.

    • @martins4831
      @martins4831 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly what I was going to suggest. Heat the block to make it expand, not the studs. Especially aluminium which expands more than steel. If necessary heat the block and freeze the studs!

    My experience removing bolts or studs from exhaust manifolds was to heat the ears on the manifold and NOT the bolt or stud. Using this method my boss managed to remove successfully a bolt with the shaft as thin as pencil lead with the threads still! attached. 👀😳😀

      Actually , Paul made the heating all wrong , if you're removing such a bolt physics tells us you should cool the bolt to shrink it and heat up the block to expand it....he was heating up the stud practically making it expand in the thread even more thus making it even harder to make it loose. Heat works on nuts bcs you want the nut to loosen it's grip.

    Edd, I am very excited to see the boat project enter the shop! It is a bit perplexing to see such a poor design in the original stern deck hatch, especially given the consequences that ended up coming true. Having worked on boats for most of my life I can attest that the V12 block bolt removal will be great practice for the inevitable stuck fasteners for a project from a marine environment, especially one that resided under water for even a bit. Thanks for doing what you do!
