Fantastic result and what a milestone getting the engine started, well done Tim & dad 👍
Thanks mate it was a fair bit of work but I'm glad we didn't just scrap the engine.
Great effort Tim and dad, saw how relieved you were to see the engine ticking over. A great many of us that watch your videos find them entertaining and no doubt wish we had the time take on these projects. Well we do kind of in some small way by sharing in your journey. The channel is most definitely going in the right direction with its contents and enthusiasm along with the amusing 'keeping it real struggles', so thanks mate for sharing I'm sure we all keep supporting you in our own way cheers🍻🍻.
Thank you for you comments and kind words mate. It is very difficult to judge if what you are doing is actually something that others want to see so I appreciate the feedback.
Wow,great to see you back after so long.Hope to see a lot more from you
the fast action makes things more acceptable to me. Watching someone take a ring spanner to twenty nuts at normal speed is dead set boring, great to see it running, well done..
Completely agree, I do find time laps a bit easier to show progress and work rather than just update shots as you go.
Dang! Mate, I've Been Waiting For Months To See This, And No One's Going To Stop Me! Love Your Videos! I Can't Wait To See You Dropping It In The Tiarra Too!👋👋👋👍👍👍😎
Thanks mate. sorry it took so long to get it done and uploaded bloody life kept getting in the way but hopefully sometime early in the new year it will be getting installed 👍
I love the optimism with the starter. You guys are hilarious
Lol, I wasn't confident at all when we were striping but somehow it worked just fine. I will still be picking up a new one before it goes in the boat though
Runs noice mate.
Wow, that runs beautifully!!! Awesome job, Tim 🙂 !!! Super happy for you.
Thanks mate, I was super happy with how it all came together in the end. Just need to sort the stern drive and get it all installed 👍
Tim, good to see you stripping everything down Murphy is the one item you think is fine buggers up after the install,
Yeah completely agree, I'm sure something will still come and bite me.
Good work Tim & daddy Tim good to hear her running
Was definitely a relief to have it fire up so easily.
Got your dad's a fucking legend to mate great watching you to working together could never work with my old man
Lol it can have it's challenging times that's for sure but overall we work well together.
What's with that dip stick, it actually dropped in when the engine started, you've done a brilliant job rebuildingnthe engine.
I don't actually know to be honest, it felt like the crank or something was actually rubbing on it somehow. I need to look into it and find out that happened there
Great job mate! She sounds great! I cant wait to see you put it in Kiarra.
Thanks mate, Im itching to get it installed too.
Hi guys, wow I nearly had tears in my eyes see the BMW running after all the dramas. Wonderful to see a father and son working together on a project like this. I’ve been of a shame. The young ones are a bit small to come and join us. Are you without three generations working together , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🧑🏾🦽
Thanks Cliff, I has been a bit of an uphill battle that's for sure and turned into an expensive free engine but that's the way these things go.
that was great .... Brilliant !! .. sounding fantastic . good on ya guy's 🍻
Thanks mate it certainly was a load off hearing it run
Nice work your boat will fly.
Fingers crossed I get a bit more out of it with the new engine 👍
Just look at the difference it torque.@@HarpersBoatShed
Current MerCruiser is 135hp and 177ftlb torque
The BMW is 165hp and 258ftlb of torque.
I'm hoping it can get Kiarra on the plane but I could be dreaming 👍
Loved the big puff of diesel smoke, was brilliant well done guys.
Thanks mate, it was cool when it burst to life.
Win mate that is a win. ☕️ 🍺 cheers.
I thought so, thanks mate 👍
Great channel 👍🏻 great to see you are monetizing so you can do more projects 🙂
I hear from other youtubers that the golden age of CZcams add revenue is over. Everyone is going for sponsored content, Merch and patreon. Supposedly google are pushing towards having content creators receiving none of the add revenue and just being satisfied that they have a platform.
Anyways have to wait and see in the meantime can't wait to see what you do next 🙂👍🏻
Thanks mate, that's very interesting. I can't say I have noticed any reduction in add revenue as of yet but it wouldn't surprise me if they push towards it.
Nice to see you back in the saddle.
Thanks mate, it has been hard to find free time lately to get some projects done. Hopefully I can pull my finger out and get something done on the actual boat soon
Well done Tim!! You and your dad have done a magnificent job getting that BMW engine running ( and running damn well too mate). One puff of smoke then it just settled down and idled away. As you said the stern drive is next and then the whole lot into the Magnificent Lady (Kiara) and off for many cruises!!
I have found in the past that if an engine doesn't resist in some way it ain't gonna last so once again well done mate!! :)
I was stoked with how well the first fire up went. Yep next step is outdrive then pull the boat out of the water and install. Going to be a bit few days getting it done but well worth it all.
Awesome result, such sweet sound, its been great to watch and a learn a bit along the journey.
Thanks mate, it sounds fantastic in person. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos and even better if you got something useful out of them.
Sounds good, looks good.
Love it almost looks new lol
It come up well in the end 👍
Great to see it running :)
It was a big relief to have it make noise and fire up so easily. Now the fun part of getting it actually into the boat 👍
Will be interesting to see what speed it will make.
@@HarpersBoatShed
I agree mate, I'm hoping for around the 18kts mark. Time will tell
What the heck was the dip stick hitting on? That was NOT normal.
No it certainly wasn't normal. It felt like it was contacting the cam or possibly a counterweight on the crank. It was all bent up and out of shape when I got the engine so it's possible I bent it back wrongly. I will be investing further that's for sure.
Great result!! But man... what was up with that dipstick? Looks like it was interfering with the crankshaft somehow?!
Yeah I think that's exactly what was happening with it. The dipstick was all mangled up when I got the engine and I bent it back into what I thought was the right position but I must have missed the mark
Does your channel membership include a day out on the water. Cheers
Lol it probably could at some point 👍
I Like it too lol
Was a good time in the shed that's for sure
Hey Frank, I should be up at the boat this Saturday if you're still around.
Are you gonna put that engine in the boat?
Hopefully early in the new year yes it will be going in Kiarra
@@HarpersBoatShed very good
@@HarpersBoatShed does it have more horsepower than the current engine?
Yep,
MerCruiser has 135hp and 177ftlb torque
BMW has 165 and 260ftlbs torque. I can also tune the BMW to make well over 180hp if needed
Hi mate, I really enjoy your channel. I’m not sure why but I seem to get your episodes all over the place and not in order, any idea…
Hi mate, I'm glad you're enjoying the channel and I may have an idea why things seem a bit all over the place and not in order. It probably seems like there is no real order to the channel at the moment and that's because there really isn't. I'm stuck in a bit of limbo right now between wanting to do more work on the boat but not being able to do it full time so I tend to just work on whatever part I am able to at the time. All the BMW engine videos are a good example, I wasn't able to make it out to the boat for a month so instead I worked in the shed on the engine but it seems out of place in the timeline of things. Also another factor is that every Wednesday I put up a "old" from the original channel ( Harper's Shed) that no longer has any boat content on it. So they appear out of order also. My hope is that as I dedicate more time to the boat and the channel that I can make the whole process easier to follow and not as disjointed.
Anyway I hope that answers your questions mate.
Merry Christmas 👍
Tim
