Nothing like the aussie nugget pair to calm the nerves down aye? Watching this as im waiting for my 3rd drivers license test after 2 months of chronic insmonia. My teacher told me that I passed this time but today its official. Luckily I already have a fastish nugget, 1991 Mitsubishi Lancer GTI 16V with the DOHC 4G67 1.8L Engine (140hp) Now to get a job to pay once the gas is empty lmao
I'm a Quality Analyst at a small engine factory, seeing this is just another day on the job for me 😂. I hate to say it, but they're putting a lot more heart and care into the assembly process than a lot of people who are paid to do that all day
Having to rebuild something that was not in great shape is more time consuming than building the entire thing with all the parts freshly made and CLEAN. So much cleaning is needed for stuff like this and you have to more carefully inspect everything in case a part looks good but is actually close to breaking
I don’t even own a car. Or a license. Or knowledge about cars. Or knowledge. But this is actually highly entertaining and educating. Gotta Love you man. 😘
I work in engine assembly, and it is really cool to seem someone rebuild by hand, what I'd normally build piece by piece on an assembly line. Awesome work James!!
There's guys who meticulously lay out their bolts in the order they come out and then there are guys who just throw them in a box.. love the car content cant wait to see this run again!
An old trick/tip. For assembly lube, just use Vaseline. It's pure petroleum jelly so it reacts with very little if anything, also old time mechanics would use it because it did the job just fine and it was cheap. Also Vaseline can be left on the shelf prettymuch forever, you can also use it for assembly lube, lubing O rings in various pipe fittings, helping to protect stuff from moisture, etc. I have an antique wind-up Victrola and it even says in the original lubrication diagram to use oil and pure Vaseline (since soft greases like we know of today either didn't exist/wasn't widespread when my Victrola was produced).
Happy to finally see the Season 2 premiere of the Free Car transformation series. Hopefully one day this thing can finally be considered an car, maybe even a car if you're one to daydream!
i like how wade explaing what bits goes into what bits and how that bits work with another bits! this is a fun way to learn how to build an engine and also learn how engine works! thanks wade!! ❤️
It’s so smol, coming from an engine builder that works on mainly big block Chevrolet engines. I love garbage time this is my favorite episode yet, keep up the good work.
Genuinely excited seeing this series return, the little mishaps make it all the more charming in my book as well. Don't know the first thing about cars but I love watching you guys go at it, always very satisfying to see things get cleaned up and back in action. James seemingly being an actual wizard helps too
I knew that Car mechanic simulators simplify how to repair an engine for new players but I never knew how much of a mechanical task it is to rebuild an engine was. I'd love to see a video of James playing car mechanic simulator.
I only just got my permit last month. I know nothing about cars. This is still entertaining, just goes to show the quality of this channel man I love it
The previous videos made me want to work on a car, this one is very daunting because of how exact and complicated some of the bits are. I have lots of respect for people who can rebuild engines
Permatex Number 3. James really does know what he's doing. Love that stuff. Don't spill it, you'll never clean it up! This is not a challenge but go for it anyway lol
this car reminds me of those websites that you get redirected to when you accidentally click on a crappy ad, and it tries to scam you by being like “you’ve just won a free iPad! click continue to claim it!” like “you just won a free car! continue this weekly series that chronicle its repairs”
James great work. Overall great video to the point. Can't wait to see her maiden voyage. Please show some of Australia. I'm in the crappy US and I've always loved your country
Lookin' great so far. No issues here about the belt being wrong. Gotta get stuff right. Plus BS like this always happens, nevermind when you've got a car whose parts are sunbleached from riding pine for 15 years
I normally don’t look forward to TH-cam videos but man all of your channels bring a smile to my face! I’m a drummer and music enthusiast studying mechanical engineering in uni so I feel like all my boxes are ticked lol
I like how this is in a way educational, seeing the inside of an ICE, but the 90s engine is relatively simple and doubly so because it only has 3 cylinders. Btw, I've seen 5 speed manual box that's on my dad's family van, and thought the Charade's box (10:03) is tiny. But then it's bolted to the engine block and it's huge! The engine is so tiny!
Glad you were cautious about asbestos since its quite common in older cars brakes and clutches. I at least now my "68 IIA Land Rover has asbestos free linings.
After watching m539 productions for the past few years, its about high time that we have a car restorer for the people! Not all of us have those amazing tools Sreton XD Cheers to both channels though for providing such engaging and funny content
I love this channel to death. Reminds me of back when I used to work on old vehicles all the time. In my late teens I had a 3 speed manual 1974 F100 and worked on it so much. Everything from regular maintenence to fiberglassing the floorpan to taking out the seat and tearing into the dash to replace the heater core. Sadly I'm not very physically or financially able to these days, I miss it
I'm so glad I found your channel. I watch TH-camrs like Jafromobile and ... what he does is intimidating. You guys show that it doesn't have to be difficult.
I didn't realise how much I'd forgotten about how engines work after not working on one for 23 years, nice refresher course. Can't wait to forget all of it again over the next few weeks.
It’s kind of strange how I didn’t actually learn how to rebuild an engine from this video, but I learned a lot of neat details about how engines are built that I’ve never seen anywhere else
Keeping up with all these channels is insane great job dankman and james you guys are legends being able to keep up with all of it cant wait for the next part
It's a single cam , you can definitely use that timing belt you got even with the wrong teeth , as long as it's not loose or anything you're good to go , love the channel a lot btw
@@piuthemagicman The belt isn't gonna snap because of the wrong teeth or missing ones , as long as the tension is correct you can get away with it , I've been swapping timing belts on many old single cam engines and it doesn't matter if it has 56 or 40 teeth
nothing to do with how many cams you have on an engine though. interference depends on multiple variables not including amount of camshafts. Valve lift & stroke at least.
@@piuthemagicman Nope , interference or not if it takes one tooth from the camshaft the crank spits out one tooth , simple as that , it only matters when you're dealing with dual cam or a mechanical injection where multiple gears do require timing , as long as the timing belt/chain is tensioned properly so that none of the two gears skip a tooth and ruins the timing then you're all set
man, watching people disassemble and reassemble engines looks so interesting, almost makes me want to learn to do it. but then I remember how much complicated work that is
I gotta say I really love this series and this channel. I don't really know much about cars, its basically magic or alchemy or something to me. It's amazin, just watching two guys casually pulling an engine apart like an orange. I feel bad saying that I kinda hope for setbacks because that way we might get more episodes.
I'm learning so much from this series. I'd love to rebuild a car with my dad sometime. He gives a similar vibe to James with mechanic stuff. Maybe slightly less chaotic..
I actually think its a good thing the timing belt didnt fit ahaha. Id be scared running a belt made from 2007... had those old "new" ones snap on me before! But amazing video regardless. Hope all works out and it runs butter smooth the next time around!
We’re covering gasoline engines in trade school currently. Thank you for this wonderful review material. I’d bet our Chrysler 2.4s are more nuggety than that daihatsu 3-banger, especially with how we treat them.
Wade: "James why aren't you using a clutch alignment tool?" James, as sassy as possible "Don't need it, I have eyes." Truly a master mechanic, uses serious proper hardware when needed, otherwise just wack it on😂
I really love that Saturday morning for him is my Friday Afternoon, so I get to watch these videos after a long long week, makes the sleepy vibes that much better!
Loving this series. Totally understandable you guys only have two days a week to do this. You've got 3 youtube channels for christs sake. We can be patient, these videos are always worth it.
Great vid as always! Cheers to James for the help and keep these coming at whatever pace you can without stressing your life too much, work to live, don't live to work!
Fun fact: timing belts have different names depending on what shape the teeth are. You guys needed to order an HTD belt in whatever specs the old one was. From what I know HTD are the standard option so it is a bit odd that you managed to accidentally buy the weird square version.
This series is making me wanting to stop being so lazy with my own build. Haven't done any work in a long time, and it sure needs lots more. Definitely setting aside money for parts as soon as possible
This is a great way of learning about cars there are some channels that only cover the basic things but don't cover things like the piston rings and then there are the ones going so deep into the detail that if you would genuinely watch them you could get an engineering degree right after this is the perfect balance of stooped and actual stuff you can learn 🗿
