Just for future mate when laying the bead of rtv down on the sump stay the other side of the bolt holes, going round the outside means oil can sometimes come out the bolt holes even when its tight, good job though!
Josh Reid Exactly
Exactly what I thought
Josh Reid my thoughts exactly.
Also my idea .. was looking if somebody said the same thing before .. and you did :). Honestly, i would take it back off and do the job again but better. If you did like this with all the bolts, i can not imagine it won't leak.... But let me know if i was wrong. That would be very well possible too. Curious, as an experiment, if it will leak a bit or a lot... or not at all. Good luck !
Shouldn't "leak " but will weep out over time.
Seeing James smile 11:53 just makes me realise what he brought to TH-cam and how hard he really worked.
Hey James thank for the heart on the comment, glad to see your well, actually been missing your content I'm re watching everything with a cup of tea lol 🙏🙏🙏. Hope to have you back soon.
Amazin what a little vacuum leak will do huh! way to stick with this to the end! Nice shirt BTW 👍
It was sucking in too much air with the inlet manifold loose causing the high revving.
Cheers bud
lol
Martin the legend saves the day! James correct me if I am wrong for the particular rtv you used on the sump, normally you are meant to let them set / flash off before adding oil?
The smile said it all !! Well done buddy .... excellent video & series as always!! Brilliant channel 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi. Well done for getting that all done. One thing I would check seeing the amount of oil in the exhaust is check the condition of the o2 sensors because that can contaminate them and make them not perform as they should, Check them both. Check that the pre cat 02 is switching between 0.1v & 0.9v and the post cat 02 should be steady at .5 volts. Giving them a clean with carb cleaner won't be good enough. If the post cat one is all over the place then don't just presume that it just needs to be replaced. How much oil you mentioned was in the pipe could have contaminated the cat too far and made it ineffective, and now the new laws on emissions are even tighter, it won't pass the MOT.
Well done pal. Loved the grin on your face when it fired up..
Brilliant! Great drama, love your videos because it's like we are building it with you , and learning with you .
Super result .
Well done for not only working out why it wouldn't start, but for not editing it out, most would have cut to a running engine, you left the 'bad' bits in, it not working as hoped but then you finding the solution, so big kudos for that.
Yes even for us it was a of a roller coaster emotional ride, the disappointment of it not starting or running properly, but big smile after he found the problem and then it ran properly.
Well done 'The savage Garage', i would not have been brave enough too tackle such a job.
I remember you saying that you're not a mechanic when you started this project. Mate, you are way too modest. You are organised, knowledgeable and methodical.
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep up the good work bro.
Another great video. My own Astra revved really high once, the cause was a small pipe behind the brake fluid res. had come off. Glad you got it all sorted.
I was watching with as much concern as you when it wouldnt start/run! Ive done this job on plenty of older carbed Fords for my sons and years ago on my own cars in the 70's. When it works, I know the feeling at 12:00m on your vid! Im trying to get my son to follow you, hes 20 and he would learn! My older kids went through all this in the 90's.Fiestas and CVH Fords dont take a hone-job and new rings too well- once they burn oil and loose compression- its a re-bore.
Wicked video and a brilliant series to watch! Done a good job on cleaning that sump up, loved seeing it being done properly 👍🏻
I love all your videos you explain things in real world terms not like a tech geek plus you don't swear like a trooper as in a majority of garage youtube videos so thumbs up for that. I've been working on cars & motorbikes for 35 years ( yes i am that old!) it took me about 10 years to build up the confidence to take an engine apart & put back together..in the right order!! but nothing seems to faze you, you took it apart & reassembled like you were building a lego set..keep up the good work
Watched you rebuilding this engine, gotta say av really enjoyed it, ignore the armchair mechanics bro your doing a great an informative job👌👏👏
Really good to see it running, nothing like the feeling of breathing life into a few lumps of metal.
I was one of the veiwers dead against a breakers yard engine.
You have learned so much more, built confidence and learned valuable lessons.
I am pleased it didn't start straight away, two reasons, you learned to double check everything!
Second, I know you really wanted to get it started but I can't tell you how important it is to get the oil pumped around, the delayed start could have well saved you from scratched bores or worse. By the time she started to run, the oil pressure was up, so no harm done..
Nice to see the look of contentment after it was running well. Lot's learned which is fantastic.
You could have done this and you could have done that. Yes. But it was your first time, it isn't a McLaren, it is an old Astra. That engine will outlast the car now. Job well done.
You will go on to do many more.
Take it for a long gentle drive.... 50mph 4th gear..... that'll let metal surfaces in the engine bed back in (especially new rings/cylinder surfaces) and help cook out the oil in your exhaust
Gentle throttle to keep the inlet manifold vacuum levels high (they go low the wider you open the throttle body) ......basically drive like you are running on fumes miles from a petrol station.
This is my favourite Savage Garage video. Stoked she started, brilliant to watch and to share it with you. Awesome.
Great vid you should be proud of yourself as not many people can do this sort of thing and pull an engine apart at home and put it back together again.
Very nice channel, it's informative, you explain everything well, and you make nice and clear footages! Keep it up! Cheers from Hungary!
Credit where its due, i watch ur astra vids from strip to rebuild and to be fair all i can say is well done. I like how when it reved up you sat down, had a think, checked all your work, fittings, connections, fluids etc and found a wee mistake which we all have made before. The reward for patience is an engine starting and running with no warning lamps on so again well done n keep up the work.
Not many young people are hands on learning like u mate. I'll def be following your vids
I am so happy that the Astra is running. Well done on getting it this far. I have had 2 Opels. The one was an Astra and the other a Corsa. I wouldn't worry about the sight missfire too much because both my Opels did it until the day I sold them. The missfire never ever affected my two Opels at all. I now have 2 Fords and love them both to death. I love watching your channel because you work on Ford and Opel which are the 2 Brands of cars that I love. Keep up the good work. I will be watching your awsome Videos.
Your face after start up. Emotions speak a thousand words. Awesome result and great video
Pure Entertainment from the Savage Garage. Cheers.
Great job mate!! Easy mistake to make when you leave a job and going back to it. The loose bolts on the manifold would cause a lean mix hence when it starts it revs like f**k, and sometimes won't start. Look forward to the next video
I thought it could of been an Idle Control Valve at first but you fixed it anyway, I remember my first car which was a 206 that used too rev its nuts off until I came across the ICV went bad and replaced it.
Fab job 👍 rewarding result, a bit of a scare first off, those GM eco-tec engines sometimes have slight twitch on tick over almost like a slight misfire , but doesn’t usually cause any issue I think it’s the fuel delivery system that can cause it, sometimes a new fuel filter may help.
Nice job man, the misfire will probably just be because the o2 sensor is filled with oil, should sort it self out after a good dive
Spot on :D. All done at home so I would say that is a full on win!
Good job! always a good feeling after doing major work to an engine to hear it run again.
oil will burn out the exhaust in no time give it a good run for a few days, just run it hard and get it hot.
Good work, nice result. I felt your pain when it didn't fire up. Since an engine is essentially just a big air pump, the loose inlet manifold was allowing excess air upstream of the air mass sensor, this weakens idle mixture so ECU tried to compensate by adding fuel based on excess air going in using O2 sensor data. MAP signal would show higher pressure so assumed throttle was open which conflicted with actual throttle position sensor data.
Well done pal, give yourself a bloody well deserved pat on the back!!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻👍🏻
You probably allready fixedit but the surge problem can be the PCV. Crank case crud recirculatin into the intake can make it surge.
Seconds after hearing it shriek with revs I did honestly guess it was sucking in air from somewhere.
I had a similar problem on a mk6 1.8i Ford escort. Headgasket blew, a mate and I rebuilt the top end and in the headgasket kit was an intake manifold gasket. Because it was in the kit for this engine we figured it was meant to be there. Turns out it wasn't. The rubber rings around the inlet ports on the manifold were sufficient
Really well done, James. Your vids just make people want to go out and dismantle their cars. Me included.
Gotta strip my astra h 2.0 engine down. Watching this series has made me feel more confident in stripping it down myself! Got a few tools to buy 😅
Always great to hear them start up for the first time after a rebuild . Well done you got it sorted
best thing to do after initial warm up is to take it for a drive to help the rings wear in better and burn excess smoke off quicker besides that good effort
The last of the good opel/vauxhalls in my opinion
Don’t forget holden and Chevrolet 😜🤣
Sorry I don't agree. The Astra J onwards has much better interior quality. Having said that, the 1.6 auto petrol is completely gutless (the wife has one). It really needs a turbo or maybe fewer gears as a six-speed box is too much for this setup.
That's why it was burning so much oil?
Zafira A is good, Astra G and Zafira A are the same
@@MrRohanThomas Same crap
You make this look easy! Congrats!
Suggest you get a parts washer, James. Seem you are doing a lot of dirty work of late and would be a worthwhile, long term investment. They aren't that expensive..Bigger is better but depends on what space you have(or don't have) in your man cave...Regard starting the car without turning it over.....well, not something I would do. You can turn the engine without starting by putting the throttle peddle to the floor. The puts the car in 'clear flood mode' so it shouldn't start...but you can build oil pressure up in just a couple of turns(the oil light will go out)...Your battery is probably shagged. It's not the voltage that matters but the Cold Cranking Amps available. Been there more than a few times. You can get a battery tester (Solar make a fairly cheap one) or a carbide battery tester which is a bit old school but puts the battery to a very stringent test. Either way, if you battery is below par it will NEVER return to its former glory. Well done on getting it running and your 'fix' seems to have worked very well. Shi7 happens sometimes regards bolts and stuff...Oil kills catalysts but you can buy one of those 'snake oil' products for cleaning your cat....worth a try or you can get an new one...they aren't that expensive these days..
well done mate.. made me smile when she fired up 3rd time ...nice job on the rebuild and the vids..keep em coming
Thanks for the video, really enjoyed the whole series. Your smile after it starting up was a mile wide 👍
7:56 Priceless ;-) once I forgot to mount the pcv hose... It sounded exactly the same. Damn when the engine revs by it self.... Its scary...
Well done ,nice job don't forget to run them new rings in 50mph for the first few 100 miles
BQR lanyard that's how you know he's a real one. Honestly one of my fav youtubers atm always find myself looking forward to your uploads. Never change man :)
Result, its starts,ok you gonna expect a few things trying hard to get the car back together but its done,no smoke,well done mate,hard work paid off.
Great build, takes guts to take an engine apart and especially put it on TH-cam for people to pass comment. Have you looked into some engine diagnostic kit? Can be bought quite cheap and allow you to narrow down fault codes and readings etc. Great work!
Great video and well done. I’m sort of disappointed you’ve finished it coz I was enjoying it so much. Can’t wait for your next project.
Reason why it reved was because of un calculated air and the map sensor and the ecu can’t calculate the amount of fuel to air ratio and she reved to try and counter act that and once u tightened the bolts no unwanted air was going into the manifold
If i could give you two thumbs up I would, one for the rebuild work and the other for the SMA t shirt. good job mate
I don't want to be that guy, but the way you did the sump sealant would actually allow oil to seep to the bolts. Ideally you would have gone the other side of the bolt openings :)
Well done! Be proud of yourself, you earned it :)
my 1.6 16v astra always had a very slight misfire .. i sold it 4 year ago to my bro in law ... still going strong lol
I was wondering what could possibly cause that redlining. Seemed like the throttle was wide opened. Then I laughed quite a lot when you said the intake manifold wasn't tightened up. Good job mate
great vid, if you can't drive it on the road yet jack the front wheels up and start bedding it all in....
Good work man. It goes to show the results you can get by rebuilding an old engine
Great job mate!!! Especially considering you've never done this type of project before AND the added pressure of recording your work, so all us internet critics can give you grief : ) Well done.
Well played mate! Glad you took us through the whole process with you! Was right there with you when it fired up haha! Buzzing!!
Congrats and thanks for the content. When I first saw all that smoke I thought engine gone swap it but no you wanted to put the work into it, learn about it and well done.
Well done mate great work just got myself a 1L 56 plate Corsa as my first car aswell
I wouldn't let it idle too long. You should really drive it and bed those new rings in, there's not enough load on them just at idle and they won't bed properly and once the rough hone has gone you will be left with glazed polished bores and back to square 1.
The Mechanic Just break in like any new engine.
Yeah, needs a good steady drive, rather than just sitting there, could get too hot aswell.
Great dude! You sould check pour cat converter too. Oil in it is not good for mot i guess?
Hi well done on the rebuild. If its idling uneven try cleaning out the little hole on the throttle body (little pipe to camcover )1.5mm hole, worked wonders on my zafira was blocked solid. Again good job 👍
Never panic! chances are you just missed something when putting back together. Happened to me recently after a timing chain conversion on a Mondeo, had a complete melt down for two hours then went back to it and pushed the cam shaft sensor home, never been so relieved.
Just ordered my stickers. I am a Japanese car guy, but I really like your videos. Going to display the stickers proudly in the car. Maybe a Mazda or Toyota at some point? All the best, Rob
Was looking forward to this video and it didn't let me down. A lot of effort went into this and you can see why garages charge so much. So well done and what's next ;-)
I am very happy for you! I waited ages for the video btw but happy you got there! My heart sunk when it didn't start! Your return to the sofa with a smile was so smug haha! Great content LIKED!
Can’t even comprehend how stoked I am for you dude! You deserve all the praise 🤙
Very pleased for you, when it didnt start the first time you looked so disappointed. Great video
The exhaust gas leaking from the exhaust manifold ... My first idea was maybe you didn't use a gasket to close it all up ? Didn't see you put it in but i think i see one behind it.. Altough it looks a bit crooked. Sorry if i am wrong.
Ya done well there fella as having never done that sort of work before well done
super work super effort i love it you really helped me up with it coz i just got same car C16SEL 1999
THANK YOU I WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH YOUR PROS TOO
GOOD JOB MAN KEEP UP
Great job, so satisfying for you I’m sure to have it running again and no smoke!
Been a great series. Well done buddy 👍
Glad you got the engine sorted. Shame you're not closer to me. I'd hook up my OP-COM and get any fault codes cleared. I wish you could work your magic on the non-running Corsa outside my front door.
Parknest anything’s possible you’d be shocked by what you are capable of doing 🤩👌
Good job....superb mate! Now you need to just drive it around a little.
Good job. Well done for finding the fault so quickly.
Well done matey great job....i knew it was sucking in too much air....well spotted.
Cant wait for the next series....🙂👍
Glad to see another astra back on the road!
Great video been following the videos for a while! Keep up the good work , Looking forward to see what else is done to this! Awesome channel!
Lovely Jubbly, well done matey.
Well done lad, it was a pleasure to watch this project from start to finish... My Seat Alhambra needs a head gasket... How much do you charge?🍀👍😁
Excellent job, been great watching you get to this point!
Think I was as relieved as you when it started, well done mate.
That plate in the sump is called a baffle/splash shield
Great work there man!! I'm really glad about the turn out. As stated bellow I think it's better for you to drive it instead of just letting it running idle. As well as if you could some how clean the exhaust, to remove that oily gunk.. I'll keep looking for the next video!! Cheers and have a beer!! 😉👌🍻
Well done James great job!!
Great job! You are guaranteed to have at least one heart stopping moment per project ;)
Excellent work glad its up and running eventually lol been there before with the roller coaster, great vloging keep up the good work.
Noticed that when you put the silicone seal on the sump you spread the beed around the outer side of the bolt hole rather than the inner side of the bolt hole, this may cause problems in the future as oil can pass through and drip down the bolt. Just thought i would let you know, it may not be a problem but i have seen it happen before.
Just read previous comments and realised this has already been discussed. I was meant to say something as soon as i watched the video but forgot to.
Awesome video love this channel, well done James never doubted your skills for a second 👍
Well done all done from your drive as well brilliant
Well done man glad it went well in the end! Great videos and looking forward to more
Love the videos mate, keep up the good work! Glad to see the hard work on the engine paid off 😃
Congrats man! You've really inspired me to pick up a cheap car just to tinker with. Keep up the cracking content.
Really enjoyed your videos on the Astra, well done pal 👍🏻
Way to go nice one.(:-)
I thought the slight misfire could be a hole in the exhaust caused with the oil cleaning the exhaust inside drying up and then revealing a small hole where the rust has been inside.
The odd engine vibration if near or on the airbox could be engine mounts worn or not aligned up correctly as the bolt has to be bang in the middle of the mount before you tighten them up.
I thought you would be jumping up & down like mad when it started up and ran good.
Well done.(:-)
The work has been really good on your car can’t wait to see what happens
