It says a lot about our esteemed channel host, that he can demonstrate and explain the inner workings of a dual clutch gearbox repair one week, and the next be just as cheery and meticulous cleaning off old gasket material.
Mitch is in good company, I ran out of fuel 100 meters further up the road in my 911 outside the Porsche dealer, before it changed to a Mini dealer. No rescue for me though, I had the walk of shame to Sainsbury’s to buy a petrol can and petrol!
Your videos are always good. Being a car guy who works on my own stuff I gravitated to the channel because all of the details and knowledge you share with us, the audience Keep up the great work
your detail and dedication to perfection is why i watch you. i could listen to you talk about anything and im not a massive car guy but i love engineering. keep up the great work.
One man's compulsive dedication and engineering OCD is an excellent watch. After the build is complete do you wash down the outside of an engine before sending it back to the customer?
Super video! More in depth the better even if it takes some time. Thank you Rick for making REPerformance what it is! Awesome channel and a great business.
I obviously can only speak for myself, but I love these tech videos, and I think you do a good job of them. I would love to watch you do the business on a V12 or V10 on a lengthy vid. What else you gonna watch, Channel 4 news???
We used to have a parts wash like that at my old place and we used to wash the cups in it 😂😂 the first few cups of coffee afterwards tasted let’s say questionable
Really great content, thoroughly enjoyed it... I do like Bad Obsession Motorsport (Binky), Subi-Performance (man is an artist with sealant!) and other similar channels, so maybe the issue is with me! To me, the journey (and the time it takes) is the interest - the idea of 10 minutes of (generally crap) body work, then "off to paint" (like Orange County Choppers) is the worst aspect of the modding/custom/performance genre...
For making sure cylinder heads are flat I use a large Glass table sand paper and spray on glue To keep it in place You'll find low spots You didn't think were there.
@REPerformance UK I totally agree with using a straight edge But I ended up missing a low spot with one and blew head gasket on a newly rebuild motor 800 km from home. Limped back put it on the table After 2 or 3 times sliding it back-and-forth I could see it. There's a problem though You can't shoot for a specific( RA) finish On the head Maybe you have a machine shop near you that can. Anyways I love your videos and their super informative Keep up the great work 👍👍 Also I realize what I'm talking about is Not proper practice at all 😂
OMG I have been taking stick for years for doing this on an old a+ series maestro head 30 years ago when I was ‘learning’ - well teaching myself with an Argos tool kit a Haynes manual and a box full of hope and prayers! I convinced myself the engine was toast without a top end strip down and rebuild - but as I had no coolant leaks oil fouling or overheating, I decided the head was good and did the block side scotch brite clean and polished the head on the flip side of our GPlan glass coffee table and some super fine rubbing compound 😮 Destroyed the table in the process but convinced myself this was as good as a skim 🙄🤪 Engine cracked up straight away and didn’t lose coolant or overheat ! But I did forget the manifold - downpipe gasket and it sounded like I left a socket in the rocker cover. What I did prob had no beneficial effects whatsoever and pure luck meant I didn’t destroy the head. But it served to show me I could just about handle basic home mechanic repairs.
Was thinking the same. I'm guessing with the way those head nuts are hidden it must be a factory spec tool that has to be used with those torque settings.
There's something quite relaxing about watching other people working. If you haven't seen 'My McLaren 675LT BLEW UP And It's All My Fault' on the Tavarish channel, would you be up for a 'reaction video'? It'd be really interesting to get your take on it!
@@REPerformanceUK Now this is really weird. I checked last night on an ipad and all is OK on that (and this morning). Checked the history on TV (Sony) and when played from history the problem is still there when running forward to second half. The views and time are the same between devices (5.6k views and 17 hrs old). I can video how it looked(s?) on the TV. Then will try selecting from Channel Page. 😂 I tick the meticulous box 😂
I think your camera man needs to get on the same wave length as you 🤦 it's frustrating trying to see what you are doing when he pans in on your face..... Apart from that, that love the content.

Exactly that ,I've no real interest in supercars, My Sierra is a big enough money sink already 😁 But i keep on watching
your detail and dedication to perfection is why i watch you. i could listen to you talk about anything and im not a massive car guy but i love engineering.
keep up the great work.
Just one word from an old time served mechanic from the 60s who used to scrape big ends a mains AWESOME give us more please 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Fuck me I spewed me beer when Ricky said "It's not even a two finger hole mate........shall we rephrase that?"
As a very amateur tinkerer with cars (I can do the basics) I for one find these videos really informative. Keep it up chaps.
I really enjoyed watching the head prep. I appreciate you taking your time to share with us!
A privilege to see this restoration in such detail and great presentation

love watching this wizard at work
As always rick a pleasure
That was like a kung fu movie after the halfway point! 😂 Fair play though mate, attention to detail! 👌🏼

Needed to be playing some Bonnie Tyler as you pulled up to that Lambo 🤣
Superb video as always, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
Great vid as usual 👍

Hahahaha I’ve used the dishwasher at home to clean heads when I used to build bike engines in my garage before I started REP!
Have a safe trip
Car building stuff is good but bike building stuff is gooder luv the vid's,,,,,,,
Have you tried Loctite MR3020 on gaskets as an alternative to 3 bond?
Would a Nylon Rotary Brush not clean the engine faces help cleaning without removing metal and then a light skim.
Love the Build!

Yeah I’ve seen people do that. If they weren’t flat we would have had them skimmed but straight edge says 👍🏼👍🏼

@@Pats-Garage I can see myself buying a Mitutoyo flat board now lol
Was a good video, rebuilds are where the money is!!! Take your time, don’t screw up was my motto. If in doubt walk away have a think……..
Ricky, when Tq’ing the head nuts you have a tq adapter fitted do you allow for the increased length of the adapter and adjust the tq accordingly?
Was thinking the same. I'm guessing with the way those head nuts are hidden it must be a factory spec tool that has to be used with those torque settings.
Looks like he has the adapter turned at 90° to wrench so will be same torque setting.
Great and detailed
What's your take on dry ice blasting with CO2 for engine blocks other than the cost..

Is it just me or does the sound go WAY out of sync just at and after the end of the lambo breakdown?🤔
Yup went out sync
Yes, out of sync
Shame that 😢
Davey boy needs to fix up!!
Repost maybe ?
Need your cameraman to zoom in a little more on the intricate work please 🔍👍
Bit of an issue with the audio sync after the fuel stop 🤔
Ricky i bet you wipe things down in your sleep? 🤣 i found myself wiping and feeling for ridges on everything now!
I want to see Noble. More Noble.
Threebond the best sealant by far
Yes mate
Audio seems a bit messed up, unless it's just me 😊
God only knows how much Vw Tps has lost in blue storage box’s ! Every garage I;this country has 40 of those things they’re great!
What happened with the audio sync on this?
People have said this but it works perfectly for me……
I hope that Lambo is better timed than the audio !!!!
Where in the video Roland? Cheers
@@REPerformanceUK 2nd half……right up to end. Possibly over 30 seconds out…..thought it was to get round issue of noisy background.
All ok now…….
@@rolandmalkin wow really? I watched it last night and was fine. Did you watch the live premiere?
