This week, Jack paints this chief in tank. I set myself on fire, Adam loses his temper, and Seb does some manual work. While Jack’s been painting the tank, I’ve been working on the engine that came out of it, the Leland engine that we knew had a few issues. This is the engine.

It had a concrete chieftain, and it does actually have one or two little issues. One of them being a fuel leak. I have power washed it all off to try and find what I can. And it looks to me like this fuel feed here, God knows why they run it there, has been crushed to buggery. And I think the leak was somewhere near the back.

So I’m going to pressurize the fuel system and see if that starts leaking. But I think it’s that. And what I’ve done, I’ve gone to the nettles and I’ve gone and got the spare engine out. >> Keep going. >> Not yet. Oh, turn out the road. Good boy. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Not yet. Not yet. You’re about to bang your tine now.

Oh, what an unload. Got that, mate. Beautiful bit of timing. >> Once you get up that bit of a hill, you’ll be all right. >> Don’t it And I actually found another engine that we got laying about with the exact pipe on that’s in bit better condition. Save me have to take this one off here.

But the other thing that’s a little bit of an issue with this tank is or this engine, shall we say, is it cranks for a long while before it starts. And that’s because the the rack isn’t getting pulled back enough when the engine’s cranking over. The governor, which is this back part of the pump, should get pressure up, and it should actually pull the rack uh to give it more fuel to help it start.

What it’s doing is it’s pulling about a little way, but not not fully. So, it’s it’s not starting ever so well. So, we are going to simply take the injection pump off this engine over here and test it cuz I’ve never had that engine running. So, people that have been following the channel for a long time, that is the engine that actually came out of the Chieftain that I sold to Whistling Diesel.

And the reason why we never bothered with this engine when we took it out, well, a because we couldn’t get it to turn with the bar. And that become apparent when we’ found that the the supercharger had filled up with water and uh smashed itself up. And I think somewhere else the block I can’t remember where it is now. The block is actually cracked.

Um or the sump I seem to think. Yeah. It’s hard to hard to see cuz it’s been stoved in the poo, but basically that’s all cracked and buggered. It’s actually got filled up with water, rain water when it was left for years. It frosted and it’s damaged it. That’s not to say though the injector pump is bad.

I have come here and borrowed bits and pieces off it. Return leak off lines and whatever, but I do believe this pump’s going to be okay. Might not look that mint, but that’s nothing a bit of cleaning can’t do. So, I think what we’ll do is take this pump off, spin it up on a drill, give it some governor oil, and mimic a start and see if the fuel rack is working and coming all the way back and whatever.

And we could also put some fuel in through there and see if it’ll actually inject as well. Now, we won’t know that it’s injecting with full pressure, but these pumps as a rule are very reliable, so I don’t think that’ll be an issue. If it does start injecting, I’d say it will work. The biggest failure with these pumps tends to be the governor getting weak.

So, who knows? Might work, might not. But what I don’t want to do is just rip that one off and take it to bits. and then lose any timing and every anything like that because at the minute we know it runs and we know it’s timed but we’ve just got governor trouble. So that’s me thinking.

What else needs doing on this? We’re going to fully repaint this engine. This engine is actually pretty good engine to be honest. It’s uh there’s nothing greatly wrong with it. We’ve got the charging system on it working now. Might treat it to a new set of belts. The idler pulley all got done. Yeah, this one isn’t too bad.

I want some new fuel filters. I think I might just change that that line there because it’s biodegraded. I don’t know why. All the others are fine, but not that one. So, we’ll change that as well. So, the plan is I think strip the fuel pump off that engine now. And then I want to build this this uh frame up here as a proper engine runup stand.

So, I’m going to get a a proper sump tank that was actually mounted in a Chieftain and fit it in the correct place so you can bolt it in as if it’s in the tank and use those slave leads there to connect to the original pack wires so we can start it, run it properly, and run all of our engines up properly.

I’ll mount some fuel pumps on it as well. So the only thing we won’t be able to test is charging systems and you know like sensors for water temperature and all that but for what we need to do it’ll be a handy runup stand and we can we’ve got I think 10 or 11 engines that all need testing. So, it’ll be very useful to do a lot of testing on the engines we’ve got, see actually how many of them are usable, and then hopefully ones like this, we can salvage the bits off to repair and make some more complete engines that we can just drop in if we ever need one. Isn’t that right, Ted? What we’ll probably do, give everything a good soak up. Well, we’ve now got the main injector pump off and a few other ancillaries. And she doesn’t look in terrible condition. Bit crusty, but everything seems to uh

move. Nothing’s particularly seized. There was still a bit of ATF in the pot. Not much, but a little bit. There still looks like the there’s a little bit of diesel or something on those lines. So, I think what we’ll do now is get it in the vice, take this cap off, check the rack, take this side plate off, and have a little look inside before we even turn it in case we do any damage.

It’s definitely what that end of the screwdriver is designed for. That’s set stuck. Is it? I don’t believe it. >> Oh, no. It went in a bit. Did you see that? >> Not really, cuz again, your hand was in the road. >> Yeah. Yeah, it is. A little bit. Little way. It don’t springing back at all? >> No. >> Good. So, that is seasoning.

>> Yeah. It’s a little bit stuck, I reckon. It’s not overly It’s terrible, but it’s not >> No, >> not great. Not terrible. >> Well, we’ll join you again in 3 minutes time once you’ve got this freed up and it’s working fine. Yeah. >> Yeah. I don’t think it’s going to need hammering, is it? >> I don’t know.

I reckon we’re going to be at it with sledges in a minute. >> Oh, look. Come. Do you see it? >> No, I didn’t see it. See that? >> All right. Now, I’m going to push it back in. >> Go on. And then you push it back in. >> Oh, that’s freeing up quite nice actually, didn’t it? All right. It is going. It is going. We’re not even at the minute mark yet.

And you’ve nearly freed it up. >> I mean, that weren’t going to free itself up in the tank. >> No, no, no. That would that would have done the big uh iron curtain runaway, wouldn’t it? >> Yes. >> I mean, it’s not it’s not coming back on its own yet. >> Be honest. If you got a pair of grips on, it probably would, wouldn’t it? Let’s be honest.

>> Certainly a lot better. >> Yeah. I reckon it will soon be >> soon in. All right. Well, I’m going to pause this video cuz I’m getting bored. So, we are back no less than 3 minutes later. >> That was nice, wasn’t it? >> Yeah, >> that’s freed off pretty well. So, you can see that’s working.

But now we’ll rotate it. >> Make sure whatever you do, you just undo that bolt straight away. >> And let’s just see. Now, look, it’s stuck on that cam. So now what you got to do, what people often do, they free the rack off, then they crank the engine, and it it sticks again. That’s because >> they only free it off in one position, whereas you’ve got to free it off in 360° of the positions.

>> Like that >> in all of the positions, otherwise it’s not free. >> Stick it again. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Very sticky, actually. And most of the time that’s due to the old fuel turning to jelly. Go on then. >> And then it should spray out there. I’m going to hold the rack on full. >> What he’s doing here? It’s causing a right flipping mess.

And I’ve just noticed I’ve left me biscuits on the side. That’s really pleased about that. God’s sake. Hang on. I’m going to move them before we carry on and see if they’ve got any uh Oh, there’s no black in there. We’re all good. We’re all good. There’s no horrible blackness. Let’s put those over on the back of the T34 cuz that’s all it’s use for at the minute is >> Right.

Well, shall we see now if I don’t know which way the pump should go. I can’t remember. >> He’s got a bit of that on his face. >> What we’re doing here is >> constantly getting in the way of my camera. >> Structural integrity that pipe. Yeah, that’s it. Oh, we’re going to fill this up >> by putting about a kilo and a half on top of it.

>> Yeah. Why did they make that so heavy? >> Well, it’s not that heavy. It’s >> It is. Why did it need to be made out of thick metal? >> I don’t know. So, it’s bulletproof, mate. >> Tanks. Everything’s got to be bulletproof. >> Not bulletproof. Cuz remember that one we saw on the range where it was shot to bits.

>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> Right. That’s filled up with aft. >> Um, shall we see if the gun is going to bleed up? Just a bit bit of gravity bleed in here. Oh, it is working. >> We got a drip. I >> mean, it doesn’t look like particularly nice color. >> No, that looks quite That’s like tree color almost, isn’t it? >> But it’s not water. I’ll do both bleeds.

>> Yeah. Say I just clean this. >> I’m pretty sure that that pipe should go to the back here. That’s broke. >> But it does. Yeah, it should. Yeah. >> Right. I’m going to give it a little turn with a drill. Even though we still don’t know which way it goes. >> Jesus. >> I’ll go the other way. >> Bloody everywhere.

>> That That looked better. >> That’s it. Well, >> that’s the right way then. >> Yeah. >> Right. So, I need to turn that slowly. >> Yeah. And then you also need to do that up cuz I’ve got to film. Slower than that, mate. Slower. Slower. >> I’m trying. This drill is >> slower. How can you slow the drill down >> on top of the drill? You push it the slow.

>> Thought it was in slow. >> There we go. That’s it. That’s it. Now do it up. Go a bit more. Bit more. Still there. Now you’re all right. There we go. >> About snap the pot off. >> Jesus. >> This is all because we don’t want to put it in. And uh so now the governor >> should >> bounce back. >> Should should pull the rack on.

So the rack’s off at the minute. So it should pull it to start. We ready? >> Oh, it has as well. >> Worked, didn’t it? Yeah. So >> So I’m going to work the off. >> Work it off. >> Right. So they off. Okay. I’m going to now turn the engine which would simulate. Beautiful. That working, weren’t it? >> That is working.

>> We’ve tested that. We’ve tested the governor. >> Now we’re going to try the revs. >> The governor’s pulling itself on to start. What I want to do now is see if we have any control on the revs. >> Yeah. Look. See? Yeah, >> that was working. Do you see that? >> I did see that. Yeah, >> I am covered in in your shower.

But what we wanted to show there people was that before we even fit the pump, although it’s messy, we don’t have Diesel Pump UK’s facilities for testing pumps. If you’re listening, Luke, >> cuz if we did, we’d make a mess of them and all. >> Yeah, we wouldn’t use it. >> It’d still look like this.

Look at the state of the place. >> The principle is now we know that the pump is free. We know it’s working. We know the governor’s working. We know the governor is also pulling the fuel on to make it start, which is exactly what that engine over there currently isn’t doing. So, what I think we’re going to do is clean this pump up best we can and fit this to that engine.

Then, we’ll take the bad pump off and investigate what’s gone wrong in the governor cuz I quite like to know what it is that failed. >> There we go. We cleaned the pump all up and that’s now ready to fit. So, what I’m going to do is take the side off this pump and then start getting some markings to keep the timing.

And then I’ll remove this pump and swap it over. How hard can it be? I’ll set the pump in a position that’s easy to remember with the front two injectors on cam. So, I’m going to center dot everything and transfer that over to the new pump. It shouldn’t be a million miles out then. We’re also going to modify the engine stand. Oh, there there he is.

Know where he went. Because we want to fit a genuine Chieftain oil tank and we want to mount it in a way so when it’s on the stand, it replicates being in the tank. So, it will connect to the oil pipes. Of course, this part of the oil tank is getting in the way of that bit there. All right.

So, we took the injector pump off and it’s been sick everywhere. And now I’m going to try and transfer roughly onto this one. How they Yeah. >> Yeah. It’s not uh not too bad. I >> think >> the base plate. It’s the base plate. >> The buttery biscuit base. I’ve been getting on. Well, get

something back on. We got to nip that little clip off. But just as a >> the buttery biscuit paint. And then we can just put a tab on there to wrap the strap. It’s >> not quite long enough this side to get strapped around there, is it? >> Well, no, cuz it we’ll have the on the other side.

We got the the base What’s going on here, Jack? >> I’m just uh having a jumble sale of hydraulic pipes. Um, we’ve decided that all the pipes on it look any good. So, somebody got the short sto. Uh, just finished doing that. It’s only taken about three working days. It’s been a bit of a >> There’s quite a lot of pipes on this.

>> There’s a lot of pipes. Yeah. >> This was This was the one that was leaking. They weren’t this steel line. >> I had no idea. I think they were all probably half leaking cuz none of them were great. Three of them snapped off with just the spanner on them. So nice. Yeah. Not ideal. She’s been quite sick.

>> She has been. Yeah, she’s had a bit of a >> bless. So, I’m just labeling them up now so we don’t forget which one does what. And then we’re gonna go over to our friends at C break a hose and beg some pipes off it. >> It better work after all this. We’re only doing this cuz the people in the audience said it’s worth repairing.

>> We we were going to run it to destruction and film it and really annoy people. But everybody was like, “Oh no, it’ll work. You don’t understand how it works.” Which is true. They’re wrong. They’re not wrong. I’ve got no idea how it works. I still don’t. And people have explained it.

So, we’re going to replace all these. We’re going to try again. If it doesn’t work, then then we are going to run it to disruption and put it on the Facebook group of whatever these are. >> Yeah. The Hullman appreciation society. >> Yeah. >> So, what we have discovered is it’s a oil flooded screw compressor and what we did was start it up without any oil in and burst pipes and it needs the oil to seal.

>> Yeah. Basically, that’s how that works. >> So, it’s going to work. That’s what I’m hearing. It’s going to work. Great. Great. So, we nipped over to Corby Hoe’s and to get them to do more, I brought some cakes and chocolate >> when before I got everything in. >> Bit posing in the bar. >> Oh, well, yeah, now he is.

Should have seen what he was showing me before. >> Bit Jefferson tools back there. Bit Jefferson. You need a skirt. >> Yes. So, Rob, I want you to reuse that end. >> Yeah. >> As long as the thread goes past the hole, it’s all right. Um, >> the size of it. >> Should we take it out? >> Yeah. Get it out of it. Sheath.

>> Yeah, we need that. We definitely need that one >> with with the uh jam der. >> Yeah. Discount cuz we brought you cakes. Yeah. >> 75 quid. Now, >> you can put a nice bit of scaffold over that. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. >> Feel the weight of it. >> Oh, yeah. >> That do some damage, isn’t it? >> Yeah.

>> Twice. >> You hit him more times than that >> with the big hammer. >> I can tell just with everything. >> You been looked after. You’re being looked after, mate. >> So, I think someone wants dinner. So, injector pump’s all bolted on. Everything’s done up tight. I think we’re now going to top it up with ATF cuz what we don’t want to do is start the engine, let it run away immediately.

That would be uh that would be bad. So, what we’re going to do is we need to put some oil in the sump. Once I’ve got that all connected, then we shall run the engine with no fuel till it’s crank it rather till there’s uh ATF coming out of there. We’re going to bleed the pump first.

We’re going to make sure we got oil pressure coming up on the gauge so we know the oil circulating. Then we’ll add the fuel, then the big run up. Fingers crossed everything’s going to work. I still haven’t looked for that fuel leak, but that might come apparent. It might become apparent when we connect the fuel pump up. >> I can’t do it.

>> I’m struggling on the >> This one’s got a big old >> Oh, smash you a bit. Oh, I’ll smash you a bit. >> Oh, look how strong I am. Oh. >> Oh, look at me. >> Oh, I can’t complain. Nice work. >> Tell you what, you’re pouring that well. >> Well, I can’t see from here. >> Well, you knew which way you were going to pour it, didn’t you? >> You want to pour it on your head cuz that’s where it’s going to go.

>> You couldn’t lift it that are you struggling to lift it shoulder. >> That looks really heavy. Too bad. Not as heavy as the antifreeze ones. >> And that’s that bit of footage ruined. >> Yeah. Number six. That mean it’s up to it’s up to six. >> Fair. >> Six gallons to fill. >> William can then >> might be settling in still. Yeah.

Give it give it the rest of the can and we’ll find out, won’t we? Oh yeah. What a bit of kit this is going to be. Feel pump. Absolutely loving all that, isn’t it? It’s looking a bit too proper, isn’t it? >> It’s not It’s not pin A. It is in fact pin >> E. E. Yes. >> I remembered. >> Yeah, you remembered a bit late.

You ready? You want to film around this side of the governor? Flip it. You ready? >> My bad. >> Crank it again. That just started to move. >> Ready? >> Yeah. >> Show the oil pressure. Yeah, just started to creep up. Okay, now I need to collect some fuel. >> Go on then. >> Ready? >> Yeah. Ready, set. Heat. Heat.

That’s handy. We can do that with a Milwaukee battery. It just wants a little holder there to hold the battery in. >> It does run, doesn’t it? >> Well, that went well. Tomorrow when it’s not 9:00 at night, >> we’ll rev it right up. We’ll check the coolant. Uh, and yeah, give it a proper run for a few minutes, test it for any leaks, and then that can be >> That started well.

>> That side well, didn’t it? That did exactly what it didn’t do. So, it’s the next day and we are going to run the engine up properly and try and just get it a bit of heat and see if it develops any oil leaks. We have found already we’ve got a slight water leak on the radiator this side where some hit it.

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t leaking before. I’m not going to blame anyone in this room. We’re going to have to solder that up. But we are just going to look for any other leaks um that become apparent. Hopefully, there won’t be too many. So, what do we reckon? Is it going to start? Of course it is. >> Fuel pump is on.

>> Everyone ready? >> Yeah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. Heat up here. So far, that’s so good.

Heat up here. Start. Stop. >> More grips. >> Well, where’s that come from? >> Oh, that’s that’s off there. Is it? >> That’s from this. We changed it for a lot. >> Just >> Yeah. So, that was leaking anyway. Gravity leak on that. That just wants coming off. Bit of sealant on it. >> Yeah. >> Solder that.

We’ll run it for a bit longer. But for the first run, >> pretty happy with that. Seemed responsive. It didn’t stall out when you went to idle. Did it >> instantly as >> very good. Soon be ready for paint. We’ll mend that leak. Do the soldering on the rad. >> That can be painted and back in the tank.

Probably need to explain to people what we’ve done. So, with zero help from Jack, we fitted all the new hydraulic hoses from Corby Braking Hose. Thank you, Rob and the gang. So, invested a lot of money into this machine now. This is a very valuable asset. And we’re about to put some very valuable oil in the wrong oil because I don’t have compressor oil.

But this is a test. So, if it does work, it’ll flush the system. We can put some new in if it works. So, here we go. We don’t know how much it holds, but there is a there is a uh gauge that we’ve reconditioned the other side. If anyone does know anything about this compressor, how much oil does it hold and what oil should it have? We’re just putting in no detergent.

Some oil. >> Is it full yet? >> No. >> Damn. >> Right, we’ve filled the compressor up. That is our diesel tank. I’ve plugged some wiring down here, so maybe it might start on the thing. It is going to want some uh easy start. Run off the jump pack. New lines on. Oil’s in.

What could possibly go wrong? You want to turn the isolator on? >> You don’t know. >> Is it right? >> Yeah, it’s not working. My button doesn’t work. Damn. >> Right. Well, >> here we are. >> Ready? >> Yep. >> Oh, great. Heat up

here. Heat. Heat. Oh, that’s the only Heat.

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. Heat. So, last night we ran up the compressor

and actually got it making air, but the old Dorman is getting a little bit hot and pissed off. And what we’ve realized is the rad is absolutely cho block full of poo between the actual fins itself. We did flush it out in the previous video. Uh but it is so inundated with thick grease between the fins between the compressor side of the rad and then the engine water side of the rad.

So you got the oil and then the engine and in between we can’t get out enough. So we’re going to have to unbolt this rad. But we don’t want to have to unbolt it. We don’t want to have to take the rad off because we don’t want to drop all the oil out of it. But we think that if we undo the mounting bolts, trim the cage.

We can pull him forward and then power wash the main radiator out. We’ve mended the thermostat. That was just a little bit stuck. This is the thermostat out the engine. So, we’re going to put him back in as well. We noticed that this water rail has got a big hole in it there. So, we need to bodgege that up. Um, and we also think because the engine’s flaming out the exhaust, we’ve got possible issues with maybe the timing.

We probably think the uh timing may have slipped. So, we could do with it advancing the pump or retire back to front >> slightly. So, the fuel goes in a little bit sooner. >> Yeah. >> So, it’s got more time to burn it. It’s going to make it knock a little bit, but it’ll be all right. >> Yeah. Cuz I think the fuel’s getting in too late, isn’t it? and then it’s not burning it clean enough and it’s burning as it goes out the valve into the exhaust which is why we got flames coming around out there which getting the engine very hot and we don’t want to destroy it. Now the compressor is working. So maybe this was the reason it was parked up. So we’re going to try and clean the rad out, get the water system perfect and then try and experiment with the pump and maybe have a go sand blasting with it. Heat. Heat.

No. >> Looks nice, isn’t it? Even it’s two-tone. >> Getting Yeah, I’m a bit annoyed about that. >> Yeah, but it won’t matter. It’s primer until the final couple of coats. I really need a 30 Just go that way slightly. That’s it. Now straight. Straight. Now tweed them and twe it. Keep going. Keep going.

So, what are you pelicans about to do then? >> Uh, well, we’re just going to mask off. Not mask off, but cover these tracks up. So, this nice black doesn’t get cover. >> Then you get a DA or you’ve done the DA. >> Oh, mallet head. That’s really handy. Come on, Chisel. You shouldn’t be in here. >> You shouldn’t be in here. Chisel head.

Chisel head. >> What are you doing down there, Sam? >> He’s on his knees again, like he nor is. >> Come on. >> It looks like he’s going to drive the X7 to Northampton. >> Yeah. >> Spare change, please. >> Oh, you’re working hard. >> Oh, look. It’s Mallet Head. No, you’re not taking after your dad. Can you not child school girls? >> I can’t use any of that.

>> Jefferson. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. tested the thermostat. She is now

working back. >> Uh, we probably could do to be sure, couldn’t we? Fortunately, we got this spare dormant engine. And I reckon that pipe isn’t as rusty. Maybe that’ll do. Right. So, it turns out the spare dormant engine water pipe was absolutely knackered. So, oh my god. Maybe we should have get some of these massive chunks of frost out of a corner.

Um, so what I’ve done now. Wow. >> Impressive. >> Probably a good reason I’m taking I think we’ll get the jet wash through this block. Um, so what I’ve managed to do is on the trailer over there, there was a scrap piece of scaffold tube which I’ve now found. So going to fit that on. I’m just uh struggling to get it on cuz I can’t see what I was doing.

So, uh, I’m going to clean that up cuz that looks to be in pretty bad state. I think I’ll get that rust out of there. And hopefully that will be all the water leaks. Good. Hopefully. Oh, yeah. I can’t get >> it. Makes no sense. Why was that getting hot? Wonder if we can off it forward. >> Look in there.

You showing it there? >> Yeah. >> That’s not why it was getting hot. >> No, definitely nothing to do with it. >> That tight. >> That’s probably tight enough now that we freed that off, darling. Right, I just got to take that pipe off now and uh we’re done. I just love power off. That heavy.

Right, we got the rads back in. All clean. All the pipes back on. Nice bit of welding by Adam there. Very nice. >> So, the only thing that we might have to do yet is slacken the thing and advance or the pump. Oh yeah, the side dump stack. She’s going to absolutely roar. Going to put some dishwasher tablets in the radiator.

Hopefully that’ll flush it round. We’ll flush the system a few times before we antifreeze it. Then should get the rest of the grease and crap out. Oh yeah. Probably won’t start this jumper, but we’ll see. We go. What happened there?

>> Taking a lot of air and struggling >> everything. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Hey,

I’m on fire. You’ve cured motor problems. You have managed to make it louder somehow. >> Wait, it’s louder. >> Yeah, it’s a lot louder than it was yesterday. Yeah. out. >> Ah, we got a slight issue here that we’re going to have to address. >> Will be worse out there as oil in it. >> Ah, yeah.

So, that’s the final collection of the oil before here. >> Yeah, >> I reckon we can bulge that if we get the die grinder in there. Just shine it a bit and blob some MIG on it. >> Yeah. You mean like you’ve done on your silencer where you’ve joined that together? >> Oh, mate. >> Oh, yeah. Look at that. So that’s what hit me in the chest >> as a little peanut.

>> Cocas on that choke. >> They’re a bit crunchy. Overdone. >> Overdone slightly. >> Carbonated. >> Yeah. >> Good points for that. >> Can you see the hole? >> Oh yeah. >> 3 in of wire coming out of the end of the gun before it. >> Oh yeah. >> That that looks mint. girl is ready for its first debut of sand blasting freshly serviced mint.

The most difficult trailer to back up or drive or do anything with that silly little short dolly. Ready? Yes. Heat up here. work. I’ll swap for you. Put the water on.

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. doing a good job. We just need to get

the settings right. It should be me. I drive up here and do that bit. Well, it’s working >> well.

>> This is accessible. >> We’ve got a slight manifold blow now. Try and advance or the pump. I can’t remember which. >> Advance the pump. So, it sucks fuel in sooner. So, retire >> cuz it’s coming in too late. >> Yeah. >> And it’s it’s coming in that late that it’s then going up the exhaust and then burning in the exhaust.

>> Get a diesel knock a bit, but it’ll get over it. >> Yeah. It’ll it’ll get over that, won’t it? I’ve now mended the Start hot. So doesn’t doesn’t sound hot. Definitely black smoke unless but the engine isn’t isn’t the happiest. It’s settling down on power. The compressor’s got it. That’s good. >> This bit the dormant.

>> No other way of getting any more power out of it now unless you put a turbo on it. the dormant ungood. Well, it doesn’t seem to be that good. We uh we’re struggling for power. We obviously have advanced or the pump, can’t remember which, and stop black spoken. But the engine is uh I would guess got a head gasket gone cuz it doesn’t take it very long to start throwing all the water out the radiator.

Uh which is a real shame. and it doesn’t seem to have the power it needs to run this pump. So, I don’t want to give up on it. If there is anybody out there with a Dorman 6LB engine like this, or if it’s similar to this and has a turbocharger, even better. But I would like to keep it going.

Let us know in the comments what you think. The actual air side of it is really good and it’s going to work our sand blaster absolutely fine. So, pleased with that. And all the hoses seem to working nicely. It’s a shame now because since we’ve advanced the pump, it doesn’t need easy start to start.

Well, should we should we just try it? Should we just see if it starts? If if someone wants the gardener engine once we’ve replaced it, it will be for sale. It is a It’s a fine piece of equipment. Ready? Do you reckon it’ll start? That’s that clearly it still needs easy start to start.

So yeah, let us know what you think. Are we wasting our time? I don’t think we are. If someone has got the same engine, let us know in the comments. the finest rotten gasket paper going. Not too bad. Right. So, the engine now has repaired the only oil leak we could find uh with a gasket. We’ve replaced that dodgy water line.

I don’t think it was leaking. Jack thinks it was a little bit. We’ve changed it anyway. So, now it’s ready to be lifted out of the engine stand. final power wash off. And when Jack’s finished painting the Chieftain, we shall put it in the paint shop where we’ll paint the engine, probably change the fuel filters, oil filters, and it’ll be ready to pop back in the tank.

Oh, one thing I’ve still got to do, thinking about it, is uh solder that up. So, I’ve ordered a plumbers’s soldering torch and solder to do that. It hasn’t arrived yet, so that’s the last thing to do. And then maybe we won’t check out the sound until we’ve tested that. So, but things are good.

So, it’s nice positive positive end for the engine. >> Curry sauce is a great idea. Goodbye. >> I don’t like curry. >> No, you’ll be all right. >> Who can you get that? is So, this t this tank this tank behind us. So, this tank behind us is the concrete chief. And those that have been following the channel for a little while will remember this was in quite a state and now she’s starting to look quite nice.

Jack’s gone around putting the grippy grippy everywhere we can think of, which I do think looks quite smart. However, this part is a little bit questionable because I don’t understand how you would be to need to grip on that that way. Would have made more sense perhaps to have been that side, but we’ll let you decide in the comments.

But it’s starting to look really good now. We’ve got all the bits and pieces bolted back on. The Mcmander’s cup’s bolted back on. The search lights bolted back on. So, it’s going to have a couple more coats to go yet. The barrel still needs doing, but yeah, it’s starting to look really, really good. Well, I hope everyone’s enjoyed the video this week.

We are trying to get all of the vehicles ready now for our show, uh, Operation Market Harbor, which is on the first weekend of August. We have got a lot to do with all of the vehicles. Nearly all of the chieftains that we use all need the engine taken out because, well, they’re all leaking. So, that’s going to take some time.

So, it’s going to be busy the next couple of weeks. We’re gonna have to be flat out because we’re simply not going to get everything done. We’ve got the Churchill to get running properly. We’ve got the engine to replace in the Centurion Avery. We’ve got a Centurion Mark 13 that we’ve had for years that I’d really like to get going this year, even if we don’t restore the outside.

So many things to do, so little time. Make sure you do come to the show. The link for the show will be in the description somewhere. Book your tickets online. Blah blah blah. Ted’s bored and wants to go home. Oh, Ted. And one more thing, one of the nearest shows to what we’ll be going to is the Abby Hill Steam Fair.

We should probably say that a bit better. Abby Hill Steam and Vintage Vehicle Rally. Abby Hill Steam Rally. So, one other thing we will be attending this year, the Abby Hill Steam Rally. So, if you do get time, make sure you check it out and we’ll see you there.
