Ready for Paint. Speaking of paint, are you planning to finish painting above the door to the clean room. Perhaps some nice white or green paint to match the FIRE EXIT sign.
Good, fast, cheap - choose any two (from my corporate days). Does not apply to engine builds, where fast is NOT an option. Rather knocks out cheap as well, don't you think?
Haha yep, I use it a lot when I’m questioned on pricing. Basically put it back on them 😂 I’m used to dealing with people that are adamant they know best and heard from their friends brother’s cousin that read a Facebook comment that it’s possible 😅
I’m drawn in like a fly to a jam lid with channels like BE. Something really satisfying about things being done right the first time and it’s refreshing to see them come clean when they cockup.
Building an Engine properly is kinda like painting the Mona Lisa, then painting out the whole canvas in white and painting the whole thing over again ..
If true this video is highlighting some very bad practice! This is a great example of why the dummy build should be done BEFORE the pistons are balanced and where the engine uses press fit piston pins a set of sliding fit dummies should be used for the test assembly.
Ford were not very robust with their engine block numbering scheme. Not all 205 blocks are the same. The more robust 205 block used on RS500 is easily identified by the small core plugs.
No click bait, nice 👍🏻
👍👍👌👌
Recommend getting yourself a crank socket instead of using vice grips on a rag
Getting it right takes time 👍
I'm a noob at engine building. Won't you have to re-balance, the piston/rod assembly since you took material from the piston? 😕
Great video and that suspension looks very nice! Does notching those pistons for the oil jets alter the balancing again?

Will you be showing the build of the Mazda MX5?
Cheers Lee, all the best for now.
Do it right do it once that the way it best way it needs to be quality takes time
Why the crank so rusty? No WD40?
You cant rush perfection
As I said in a previous video those spray jets fit E36 E46 E34 Z3 (E36), just google the part number
The likes of M42 engine, 1.9 Z3 / 318i 4 pot, not even anything spicy!
I've subscribed to the third channel!
Do you need to rebalance the pistons after you notch the pistons for the oil jets
I think I've asked before, but I don't see you using any assembly lube on your engines?
Why not just notch all Cozzie pistons an extra 2mm during the balancing stage?
👍👍

You can definitely do all 3. But, you’ll be knocking two off the list very shortly after the second time around.
@@craiglaing2417 That's the best answer to that line I ever heard. Thank You!

Quick work isn't Quality, and Quality work isn't Quick.
a bare and simple truth.
Measure, fettle, clean, fit and repeat...
I love you guys butttttt no Vise Grips on the crank!
Yep, unless Derrick from VGG is involved. He’s the only one qualified 😅
Cheap isnt good.
Good isnt cheap!
Locking pliers to turn a crank over , doesn't look

Should the RS500 block be a 200 and not a 205? CheeRS.
