The Skid Factory can you please do more kingswood ones !!!!
How's the Toolpro Tools?
You guys need a new intro,ya both look like ya lost a few kg's
I’ve always wanted to know what’s with Kramer?
Al voiceover is really good/effective...
The voice over just needs a moe
I think al is a worthy voice over replacement for david attenborough
Al's great, a bit of a nob but he fits in just dandy.
yeah , his script writer deffo deserves a few lemon squashes ..... oh hang on a min
@@simonwoodrow9572 Exactly! That's what i commented the first time they did it. His dry humor combined with commenting as if watching a nature documentary is a golden combo I'd say.
Bloody what Al, you've come a long way from early MCM days. Comfortable with the camera, doing talkovers etc. I've said before, luv the lack of hype on this channel, so easy to watch. John's a legend and good to see Woody learning some engine build skills. Woody is doing a great job on this project, paying attention to detail and making the extra effort. Have a lemon squash guys, 'cos you've earn't it
The scene of mates having having a lemon squash looking into an engine bay... that’s what this stuff is all about.
You can tell John's been building engines for years everythings very methodical, no messing about do it correct the first time!
Yes. I've never heard of the bearing crush checking.
Very informative episode.
There's no such thing as doing it correctly the second time. It's either done right, or done wrong
stipitza oh there is, it’s called fix it when it inevitably breaks 😂
Always had a soft spot for the 4A-GE, first engine I ever rebuilt was a series 1 back in 1995.
As an apprentice aircraft engineer, OCD central. 86kw of awesomeness!!
Did everything I knew as a 19year old.
Baked on Dry lube on the piston skirts Thanks work!!), Everything done to spec. 3 angle valves, stupid excessive port job when only a clean up of the casting dags (Not that there were many), would have been enough. Even trimmed and cut the valve guides (Looked like bullets in the ports) to flow that "little bit extra" machined throttle body etc, etc...
Huge 11.1:1 compression (yeah....that was real smart!!)
Had to put 15-20% toluene into every tank to stop it pinging it's head off. Back in 1995 we only had 95-96 octane premium too...
"Stage 2 TRD cams" lol... They looked stock really think the overlap was more and a mm or 2 higher lift.. can't remember Idled at 1200rpm... end result was 160HP.. or 119kw, @9000rpm ... hehehe After it's 4th gearbox in 9 months I sold the car and bought a 93 GSR Lancer... that's when the Mitso thing started... still going with a TME and Leggie...
Keep up the great work gents... John is a Legend!
Im glad woody has been given more room to grow his other skillsets.
And Al doing narrative work is just...👌👌👌👌👌👌💲💲💲💲✌
Woody did a nice job cleaning and painting.
Yep, he did. Looks great in person. ;)
Great to see the effort being put into this awesome build. Woody will reap the rewards as he's hitting the twisties throughout the the Sunshine coast hinterland.
Another great video boys. So refreshing to see an engine being put back together professionally rather than other ‘CZcams mechanics’.
Wow, Mr Squigle and Blackboard references. That sure makes me feel old.
You and me both
I feel like the world needs anthropomorphic impatient blackboards.
Oh Miss Jane .. that's not my hand ..
I really enjoy the swapped roles in this series. Woody doing all the work and Al doing the voiceover
Al's voice over is soothing and honestly good.
I love how you guys dont shy of asking the pros for help instead of stating you know every thing doing half A$$ jobs off camera.
Cheers.
i love how watching your vids feels like i’ve gone around to a mates shed and caught up with his car shenanigans...
Agreed, I'm not even into cars and I like watching these guys just for some non-isolation mateship over internet
@@Archfile375 That's it
Anyone that dislikes any of your content shouldn't be here. Keep it comin lads! 🤙
Probably just woody's ex-girlfriend's
Well said lad👍
@@kzarnold3678 that makes sense!
13:42 John is beaming like a proud father.
Love seeing Woodies face drop when Al mentions clean up time, haha
I like Al's (not too) shaky cam work and "easy does it" narrative style. Good music choices as well. Woody's abilities will be "next level" after this build is done. Heaps of "learning the hard way" going on here. Nice work chaps. There is always plenty of talent on both sides of the camera and at the end of the spanners.
I'd love to see a run down of John's ute, build history, up on the hoist, taken for a spin and all that.
I had an XC with a lumpy 351 during high school just before the v8 ban for P plates came into play, I'd go through a set of rear tires a week just cruising to school and back. Great fun!
last truck engine I rebuilt was a 67 chevy 283. I used plastic sacks labeled for each valve gear set. put ALL the parts for each valve(lifter, pushrod, rocker assembly)in the bag oily as it came apart. examine each part one at a time. all was good so on reassembly everything went back together as original. rebuild done in 1981 and lasted ever after just fine. things that are worn to fit need to stay together.
As always the best soundtrack on any automotive channel on youtube. Have you considered putting a track listing in the video description?
Such a great build. Love it.
Only a minute in and I'm already SCREAMING!!! "Hindsight is a wonderful thing" got me
Great breakfast time viewing
in the 🇬🇧
Agreed, great coffee and breakfast with the Skid Factory!!
John looks like a proud teacher passing on his wisdom to woody, Great EP!
To quote the great Lieutenant Arcot "Thorny" Ramathorn, "Who wants a mustache ride?"
I vant vun! I vant vun! (Filmed in my state.)
so many great professionals to turn to.
Your shoutout-shots of your supporters on the lift are amazing. Good job lads 👍🏽
Bloody good to see John back!
B is for Build and Wrench Everyday can learn the right way to do a time lapse from this video!!!
This new style of al doing voice over is absolutely great!!!!
the dig at the 79 series crowd was fantastic
Love that tune in the first montage when you’re pulling the tape off the brake lines. Very chill
This nug is starting to shape up beautifully. I wish I had the money to do this with my daily/project car! Good work boys
Al's commentary is a must have from now on. Just superb!
I love Al's narration, about as dry as a 3 month old sponge... cake. 😂🇦🇺
yeah , his script writer deffo deserves a few lemon squashes ..... oh hang on a min
Another epic update. Cheers guys
Thankfully there is video footage that woody could probably reference or look at.
Awww..16 minutes?
..well, gotta be thankful for your hard work.
Keep it up laddies.
:)
woody .. if you get stuck reassembling , go back & watch the dis-assembly videos .. lol
Thanks guys!! Very mellow!!
"Welcome back to The Skid Factory..." and thumbs up!
Al’s voice overs are the best 😂👌
Was that a mr squiggle reference!! “Hurry up..hurry up”
*WOODY PLEASE READ WHICH OIL PUMP DID YOU BUY?? BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE SAME FOR BLACK AND SILVER TOP, ALSO MAKE SURE YOU USE THE BLACK TOP CAMGEARS AND BELT AS THEY HAVE DIFFERENT NUMBER OF TEETH*
the Blacktop cam belt is one tooth shorter at 110 compared to the 111 of the Silvertop. Normally the belts can’t be swapped between engines but if the entire tensioning system (Silvertop oil pump and spring tensioner) is changed then a Silvertop belt can be used on a blacktop. To reduce noise the blacktop belt also featured a slightly different shape teeth profile.
However the blacktop was made with a hydraulic tensioner that has a reputation for unreliability. The tension system can be swapped but it also requires the swap of the oil pump also. Please see “Camshafts belts” and “oil pumps” for more information.
The Silvertop engine featured a slot leading into each cam bucket recess for oiling of the bucket. In the Blacktop this was significant increased in width for greater oiling yet again.
To allow for the difference in cam belt tensioners the oil pump castings are different between the engines. They are interchangeable if all the other belt tensioning parts and cam belt are changed at the same time. Please see “Camshafts belt tensioners”, “Camshafts” and “Camshafts belts” for more information.
Blacktop also has different ECU and uses MAP and TPS whereas silvertop uses airflow meter
HEY JACK BLACK! I’m aware of the blacktop and silvertop differences after reading up on SQ Engineering..I retained the blacktop oil pump, timing belt tensioner and cam gears.

Best part of this video was Al calling out the 20 somethings on their Freddy Mercury mustaches....🤣🤣🤣
Not sure why I don't get notifications on your channel for a few days after they post. But glad I still get them.
I would just like to clear something up for the youngsters out there in relation to cams, OK there seems to be a lot of confusion about duration, lift and dwell but there is a easy rule of thumb to remember, when Woody installs a cam and dosent pay enough attention and the cam snaps off a 1/4 at one end if you do the math that leaves exactly 3/4 quarters of a cam.
The 1/4 left can be used as a hilarious paper wait or door stop.
A full cam is when Woody fills a sd card and forgets to bring a spare.
Hope this helps.👍🏻😁
Shots Fired!
@@Woodrigos 😁💖
Everyone needs a John in their life when it comes to building engines properly my blokes name is Paul😆
I have a Mick
I know a Bob who can rebuild blown up engines in less than 15mins.
My builder is named Pasi
Yep, ive got a Glen ha ha
Just don't get Dave to do it...
I like the switch up on narration good job Al 👍
This is a great series, I love watching people resurrect things that were never good to begin with, because they are into them. Particularly with Al just shitting on it all the time. It's funny and I like that Woody is so into it, poor man's Ferrari, brilliant, I knew a guy who loved them, he was a good dude, eccentric but you know a good dude. I get it Woody, I like L-Series Subaru "surf" wagons. Leone wagons.
Woody very often comes across like a young apprentice
That’s cause he is pretty much 😂
Engine bay looks sweet, need to make the rest of the car like it.
Good times. Like this series and the way you are putting the videos together.
The way Al channel's his inner Leyland Brothers & mixes it with his dry wit, it won't be long & the ABC will be kicking down his shed door to narrate on the Les Norton series!
I'm loving Al's deadpan narration and sarcastic colour commentary. No offence, Woody - but you just don't have that bite when you talk. Two thumbs up. :-)
John seems to be a real top bloke.
The paint looks very nice! Love the narration too! Keep it up guys.
I know it seems wrong, but i’m enjoying watching Woody do some actual work.
And old SpeilbergAl behind the camera is pretty damn good too.
Really enjoying this build... Have an AW11 4age black top build that has stalled.... Might get back at it....
Loving the many different chassis and engines you guys mess with.
13:42 thats a proud dad right there!
Woodrigos and the adventures of his exquisite womb broom 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Like any good automotive youtuber checks the ring gaps" hahahha yet to see anyother youtuber check clearances at all... keep up the professional work :)
Don't you just love how this Japanese stuff just fits together when you put it in the right place 😂 clearly a tough day there hahaha
That's most things
Johns a legend
Woody loves to send it with the ugga duggs 😂 good work fellas 🤙
Come on AL surely you know woody loves giving out moustache rides !!! If you had a full beard Woody , you would need a life jacket 😉👌🏻
great progress!
loving this background music. its like automotive ASMR
Another cracking episode lads, I like it when johns involved, he’s a cool guy 👍
Bloody DYING to see/hear Johns Ute run boys! Make it Happen! ; ]
Loving Al’s commentary. Really enjoying the content you guys have been putting out. Keep it up!
I love a fresh looking engine
You've got a lot of empty Bulla ice cream containers there. Have they come to the party on some sponsorship yet or what??? Love John's Japanese safety boots too.
Loving Alan doing the voiceover 👍
What a Legend!
Love some 20v 4a content!
That Ute in johns man cave🤩🤩
I know why the moustache works mate... oh yeah the lay-deee's ! Referring to Ms. Mercury it has a different connotation.
nice work guys
Stock 4AGE head gaskets are all graphite type right the way up to the blacktop.
I love al doing the voiceover. Great video as always
Woodies womb broom brings all the girls to the shed.
I know you guys get the sunshine but here were I live I would have fitted the aircon in the bin!
Johns so serious 😂
That organiser for the valve gear is big brain stuff
Woody goes alright with a spray gun.
I can't wait to hear this thing scream on the dyno.
Definitely needs a repaint after all this work. A good collectors item.
John is such a legend you might call him John Legend 😉
valid question about the Moustache Al
Lemon squash shopping tomorrow, the great Australian made.
I was like why didn’t I get a notification for a new episode, CZcams changed all my bell settings😂 also want to add I like the switch up of the show, Al’s got a very soothing voice lmao. And it’s good to see more of Woodrigos more too👌🏼
Good thing woody never chose a 6BT cause he would of pulled an even more serious face torquing the main caps. 😂 good to see woody excited looks like he having a good time 😎
Man that's a nice red, it really stands out
John reminds me of Al/Turbo Yoda when he first started appearing on MCM
Iron Jack Squash. 👍
Master Turbo Yoda- He learns, the apprentice does! this will keep me interested till Benny does that Cappuccino he recently acquired. I do have enough pop corn to do both!
Really makes you see what goes into making a good block to last all the RPMs not just a bearing slap and hope for the best... 🤘 ps PLZ work on more diesels?
“When we umm.....” well that looks interesting. Great episode guys!
My thoughts exactly.
Love the old X series utes. And, that one looks especially gnarly!
how did u comment 2 days ago?
