Oil in the coolant - the last straw for my cheap Ferrari?

- Last week it was looking increasingly like the engine would have to come out. This week things are looking more hopeful for the InfluEnzo, my cheap Ferrari 308. I also get to start it up without a silencer on..!!!

Your boundless positivity in the face of the Influenzo, is like the 'unstoppable force meets an immovable object' analogy.
This is the only TH-cam channel I watch where my stomach goes from normal, into knots, back to normal, into knots again, and finally somewhere inbetween as a smile breaks over my face as I hope that it will be ok in the end - every god damn video I watch. Its a real roller coaster ride every episode. And I don't even own the car, one like it, or have any vested interest, other than it all works out for you.
Thank you mate, have a great weekend!
If your new exhaust flows better, you will need to adjust the carburetors to compensate. Be prepared to re-jet and re-tune the system.
Love it and get them T-shirts produced , especially the last one, very classy!
My favorite is the last one too!!
Why not make some and give the profits to the NHS or some appropriate charity. I’d buy one or two.
Your enthusiasm is just amazing to watch and follow Jack...Those t-shirt designs are fantastic, I’d definitely get some made up as well as mugs etc.
Thanks Carl, have a good weekend my friend!
We really still are children aren’t we? I still remember drilling holes in my 50cc Vespas muffler when I 14 and I still giggle a little every time I hear a ludicrously loud car😂.
My 2nd gen MX-5 developed a hole in the exhaust and a first it was hardly noticeable so I sort of grew into it sounding a tiny bit more well "more". Only then I had a drive that wen through a tunnel and oh my. Still it could be fun to a have a switch of sorts.
Don't forget 'Happy Families' playing cards and clothes pegs on our push bikes 😀

Omg I used to put clothes pegs on my Choppers spokes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
FEE_lo: and a great friend of mine drilled holes in a coke can which we used as a “silencer” on his Raleigh Runabout way back in 1975. Oddly enough my current series of “toys” all have standard exhaust systems.
Have I finally grown up???
Phil B I’m afraid it’s a sign of the times. Unless it’s a classic of some sort we need to pass smog yearly. I’m planning a resto-mod as a loophole. However if it isn’t a legal restriction that makes you keep those fun killers on your toys.... shame... shame on you 😂😂😂.
I'm loving your enthusiasm for the 308 and I'm glad it hasn't broken you. Yet!!!!!
Yeah! More mayhem!! I’m really sorry for your misadventures with this car, but it is REALLY entertaining 😜👍
It's a part of the experience! I've had a couple of Italian classics, lots of spannering, less driving, but great experiences.....it was even better getting rid of those cars... (-;
Great to see your oil-in-coolant issue was not! Also, the exhaust silencer you've purchased looks a lot like the version I had on my 308 and it did sound fantastic! And yes a lift does make removal and install a much easier task. Good luck and keep having fun!
There are more plot twists on this channel than in the soaps, you seem to have a good video formula it feels very episodic.
Luv the vids...can’t wait to see the end result.good luck
Well I guess having a car with issues makes for better videos, love the positivity and patience, well done
Great news been waiting for that all week
I'm 57 (based in East Sussex) - I *love* your videos. I love seeing you so happy with your toy. It makes me happy. Enjoy it and keep smiling. It's a pleasure to see you deriving so much pleasure - I'm not really into cars, but I have an 18 year old Honda which I've owned for 10 years and until recently I've had to make some repairs to myself. There is a definitely a certain satisfaction to be derived from doing repairs yourself and I too have gotten the bug of enjoying my car a lot more as a result of my fixes to mine. Can't wait to hear how the new exhaust sounds!
Thanks Jez, great to hear that even a non car guy enjoys it!
Great news, well done! A few of us called it as coolant mixing, good to have it verified. I can imagine the relief you felt hearing that!
an encouraging outcome, hope this really is it, we are all cheering you on!
So pleased for you...... yet again, really good news and a smart move taking it to the professionals. A good fun vid..thanks. 👍🏽🇬🇧
Really enjoying your videos keep up the good work 👍
I have so much respect for your ingenuity and determination. Can't wait for the next instalment.
Really enjoying these and your never failing optimism is just great in these bleak times. You’ve set the bar high!! Keep it up and really looking forward to the next one....
Sensational stuff! Indeed a labour of love. You have convinced me this is all possible, even for me.
Brilliant vid. Don't ever change 😂😎
Thanks for posting an update...FINALLY..I was beginning to go through withdraws.
Awesome, can't wait to hear the new pipe 👍👍👍👍🏁
My favorite “show” on TH-cam. Can’t wait to hear the new exhaust sound!
Great video and so happy she’s all ok... can’t wait to see and hear the new exhaust!
one of the coolest vids I have seen, well done 27
Another great video! I’m so happy for you that things are working out. Thanks for the clip of the engine running without a muffler, reminded me of my previous’67 Eleanor Mustang, the side mufflers did little to nothing. Cheers!
I can't wait for the new exhaust!
I am so glad that things are looking so much better. Thank you for your boundless enthusiasm and optimism. Top bloke.
Brilliant I look forward to you’re weekly update! A great job again chief, keep up the good work you’re enthusiastic videos are what we need right now! Legend
Thank you Kevin 🙏
Thanks again for sharing this. I was really looking forward to watch this vid, and now I am again for the next one. Keep up the good work. Cheers
Thank you Patrice!
aha! I think that is what I suggested in my comment on your previous video, ie the boiling water during overheating has agitated crud in the radiator and also possibly a chemical reaction, different property coolant is defo something to look into, hope it rights itself after a good flush and fresh coolant, looking hopeful though which is good news.
Thanks Chris! Enjoy the weekend!
Great video .. thank you
Loving your positivity. Keep it up as helping me though lockdown blues!
good show! you keep getting lucky with every hurdle.
I must say the creative quality of some of your viewers is amazing, very impressive and well thought out. Wish you well, I am late in coming to your channel, but thoroughly enjoying it, especially all the juicy details. So glad it looks like another "win" belated as it may be.
Awesome sounding with open pipes. Glad the coolant is sorted. Keep it up.
That’s very good news to hear!
Your enthusiasm is infectious, avid viewing.👍
Fantastic result! Cannot wait to year the new exhaust.
Great news. Glad for you and the influenzo. Really curious about the new exhaust. And glad you found the design funny as it was meant to be.
good to see the channel gathering the momentum it really deserves.....
Thz for the new video, good luck!
Great video Jack. Very entertaining. 👍
Possibly the best videos on TH-cam, cheers for the entertainment 👏👍
I'm so happy it wasn't the head gasket. Older cars so love to give us joy and pain! Awesome ride sir!
I've only recently discovered your channel and I'm loving it!
Wonderful to hear, thanks!
Great vid and glad your car is ok! Can’t wait for the new exhaust!
Great news on the engine!!
LOL, love the laughing at the end. Looking forward to the new exhaust!
Great news and so inspired by your videos. Of course you should do the tee-shirts, if not for the money then for your fans. You've built up a great following and we all look forward to every update on the Influenzo.
Your channel along with Matt Armstrong's are my favourite...love the realness...makesme want to restore a Pug 205 Gti...always regret the time I bought a Golf Gti instead of the Pug!
Loving the content and the Pug and 308 😷👍
Looking forward to the new exhaust.loving your vids.
Really enjoy your channel. Love the ferrari journey and your enthusiasm. Good luck and hope to see your car zooming around the Cotswolds
Fab Nigel, thanks for the kind words!
This car has taken on a life of its own, and your enthusiasm for rooting out all it's imperfections is contagious and compellingly entertaining!! I have an old Jeep Wrangler TJ, and like the InfluEnzo, my Jeep seems to double-down just when I've fixed something and I'm feeling brilliant! One day it will be perfect! Anyways, I've always loved the 308 as my favorite car, and never missed an episode of Magnum PI! In fact, I was in Honolulu in '83, and looked for but never found Robin Masters' 308. Love watching these updates!!
Thank you and enjoy your Jeep, love a Wrangler!! Nice tough and simple cars!
Omg!!! That sounded down right evil!!!!! Excellent!!!😁
As I said before, you're a brave man with a good sense of humor! Good luck with the new exhaust. I'm sure that it will look and sound great!
I bought a 308 GTB Vetroresina, from my couch, unseen, from collectingcars during lockdown. 😂Runs like a dream so far - bodywork needs love but i am so far lucky. Love this series - very timely.
Love your enthusiasm. Best car channel on TH-cam.
Thank you!
I had to replace most of the exhaust on my 81 GTV pretty much from the collector to rear. No more back box, just a centre-mounted hotdog. Yes she's loud, but oh what a joy. And you get the full range of off-throttle burbles, pops and crackles.
I’m glad it wasn’t anything serious with the coolant! Can’t wait to hear the new exhaust!
fantastic car TH-cam guy with zero ego. great vid
Glad things are progressing. Watching your videos has convinced me to buy a late model Mitsubishi Mirage as my next vehicle, as engineering was not an option in the design.
Sounded like a Spitfire at the end lol Glad things aren’t as bad as you first thought, can’t wait to hear the new exhaust.
I hope the open exhaust ports didn't melt any important wires or hoses when you ran it open like that!
BUT, I am thoroughly enjoying your roller-coaster emotional ride with Influenzo. You are very entertaining! Thank you for sharing your epic adventure.
I will politely suggest that before you do any more repairs, you will enjoy your car much better "as is" by simply washing it and detailing it. It always amazes me how quieter and smoother all of my cars drive when they are immaculately clean!
Ha that’s true and it does need a good wash!
Thank you for starting it without an exhaust. This is always a must during exhaust mods.
I'm keeping track of the time you're spending under it rather than driving it: 10 to 1 so far. :)
😁 It's against the law not to start a car up when the exhaust is off. Great stuff all round
I think every car where I've had to replace the pipe even the manifold I've fired it up without. My V4 bike sounds ace without until my ears suffer! (20 seconds later!) Fingers crossed still re: coolant.
Is that a Honda V4 by any chance?
tony sansom yes, NC30.
So happy for you that the 'coolant' issue seems to have turned out ok. I'm not exactly sure why, but watching your ups and downs with this thing, I somehow almost feel like it's my own car. Your crack-up on hearing it without an exhaust was quite priceless...
Ha!! Thank Roger.. enjoy the weekend!
Oh the joys of classic car ownership,I was once the proud owner of a 1983 911 SC and just loved the tinkering 👍
Brilliant fun, can’t wait for the next one!, get it ready and drive to Le Mans in September for race day 👍✌️🥳
Also check out Ratarossa as just got a video out on exhaust
That's great news! Now for the exhaust....
Bring on the new exhaust!! Glad the engine turned out ok. Keep up the great videos so entertaining.
Phew! I've been thinking about this during the last week. Thank goodness it appears to be something less than you first thought. I watched the last vid again and began to doubt the head gasket theory, it didn't look milky enough. You are certainly being tested by this car, stick with it. It will be such a reward in the end. Looking forward to hearing the new exhaust.
I had a sneaking suspicion your head gasket was fine! Great job getting it checked out, you must be feeling a lot better again. Of course loving the content Jack, thanks mate looking forward to seeing that new exhaust installed.
Thank you Tristan!!!
This video has it all! Microphones, melodrama and PJs! Really pleased on the coolant front - result 👍🏻
Thanks Ben!!
You had me going at the end there too. Great news about the coolant. Probably just needs an "Italian tuneup"!
Your facial expression @12:43 is priceless! 😆👍
And as usual, I've enjoyed this new episode in the Influenzo series very much! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Alain!!
Good to see another happy ending! ... ish. I really think you should do the T-shirts, not to just to raise money but because the public want them!
An acquaintance of mine, a hot girl had one in the day. I drove her quite a bit. Yours is running good now. That new exhaust is just what the doctor ordered.
For all the possible terminal disasters the car and your 🍀 lucky Pjs have not let you down I hope we get the weather now for you to get out and drive it take care and keep doing your great videos luv the R8 one you did 👍
Lucky PJs rule!!!
Great vid! Glad to see you more positive this time!
I was thinking radweld too as soon as I saw it. Things are going well! Great stuff! Wear the top half of those pj's in your next film. Keep up the good work. 👍
Somehow I get the feel of Hoovie’s garage😬 Great news on the coolant Jack!👌🏻
Great news that it doesn't look like a head gasket failure. Love your reaction to the exhaust free tune!
😄🙏🙏🙏
Yes Jack, get the T-shirts printed 😉👍 Loving the story. Hope you love the new exhaust as much as you did the old one .. @9.40 😉😁
Fantastic news, I'm really pleased for you. Hope the exhaust works out well. I have to say I think this channel is right up there with Harry's Garage and Tyrell's Classic Workshop, well done and thanks for the brilliant entertainment.
Thank you and great name!!
@@Number27 haha, hopefully I will bring you an extra bit of luck along the way!
Really love this channel
XD It sounds like a P-51 Mustang taxiing out for take-off without the exhaust! I LOVE IT! XD
Sounds like a Spitfire Merlin engine on start up. Magic!
Really glad you sorted that problem I always say as we go we learn more about our classic cars and that’s the fun . Just going out for the drive and having that classic car grin is worth more then any money in the world 👍 jesus your exhaust was loud made my dog jump 😂😂😂
It was louder in the flesh than came across in the video!
The last time I anxiously waited for the next weekly episode was when I was a kid waiting for the next magnum Pi ! 😅. Absolutely loving your clips. Don’t want them to end. I secretly wish the enfluenzo keeps throwing curve balls for you to solve. It’s like magnum pi meets Sherlock Holmes meets Jay Leno’s garage 😁🤙🏼
Thank you so much, really appreciate the nice feedback!!
Quality video
So entertaining and like a Netflix series I can’t wait for the next
Great work Jack can't wait for the next update (assuming your neighbours haven't got to you!!).
I love the Paulo designs!
Good vid mate
