Disaster with the Hall+ Scott. Split pin in the oil pump meant we had to take the engine to pieces for the second time. Split pin escaped from gudgeon pin. Fitted pistons from spare engine, in preparation for Kop Hill.
Octogenerian Forensic detective of defective 110 year old engines, brilliant, has given me incentive to strip a Triumph tiger 110 engine that suddenly lost compression a few weeks ago. here I go
Like the whole thing! Since tinkering with a 1027 Austin Seven in the late fifties I have played with spanners but you two young men fill me with admiration. May we all live for many more episodes.
@@nazdagg2027 It looked like they found 3 pieces. Including the loop end. Suggests it might have come out of something. We shall have to wait for the next episode.
Might want a bit of anti-corrosive in the coolant, that water was a bit red for my liking. Otherwise good work. We have all made mistakes, and if we are any good, we will have opprotunity and experince to make some more. Glad to see progress, and what a deal on that engine!
Watching you and John working together is an absolute joy to behold you each know where you need to be right on que and Tania's filming and editing is also a great pleasure to enjoy. Thanks to all of you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us out here in Tubeland
Superb production, loved the black cat, choice of music and some lovely personal touches. There is nothing not to like about this either in the production or the aspects of engine building. Wonderful!
FFS don't let the cat near that anti freeze. Poisons the poor blighters. Love the Hall and Scott. Superb. P.S. get a moroso oil filter cutter. Like a tin opener, no hacksaw swarf to confuse things.
Always look forward to the latest from Shed Racing! Too bad it all had to come apart, but at least we get to see more of this beautiful engine and car! All the best from the colonies.
Afraid that my ears stood up when you said the big ends 'were pinned' . . . after finding that 'corpus delecti' in the pump, I'd have been wading around the sump pan in my Hall & Scott wellies, while gazing upward with a big torch . . . & counting. : )
Ivan, years ago I rebuilt an ex-Nascar Chevrolet V8 and it had 5 stages of scavenging in the dry sump system. The pickup for the lifter valley had a small screen epoxied over it. The system was designed to isolate the valve train lube system from the rest of the engine, so a dropped valve wouldn't frag the rest of the engine. You sure were lucky with the oil pump! Perhaps the cat has something to do with it!
I like how modern to Ivan is 1960s! I've rebuilt a couple of pre war engines now and the most nerve wracking thing is seeing if you have oil pressure or not when it's actually running. You can tell if the valves open and close and the pistons won't hit the head by hand and not having spark won't matter, it just won't start, but no oil is my biggest fear. In my Riley engine I had the opposite issue, too much pressure. I have a modern filter on it (and I need to steal your disguising it trick) and it blew out the filter o ring and oil went everywhere. No damage done luckily.
Sorry to see that you're having problems with the Hall-Scott engine Ivan. A mate of mine had a similar problem with his '63 E Type Jag engine, the split pins in the castellated big end bolts were a bit undersized and the reciprocating motion caused them to wear away and fall out into the sump. Most of them stayed in the sump at the bottom, but one piece got pulled through the pump suction screen and jammed the oil pump causing it to seize. Great video Ivan and John, I always look forward to your next installment.
Being English, when I saw the title “shed racing” I took it literally. However, though disappointed that there was no racing of motorised sheds, this turned out a real treat instead. Subscribed.
Thank you Ivan another most interesting and entertaining video, a pleasure to watch you and John working together in harmony even when you offer him a red hot part to hold! Good luck with the Hall and Scott engine rebuild, pleased that you found the problem.
Cheers from Portugal ! Never a dull momento watching your videos ! This one was even more special ! What about the Salmon you bought in Portugal ! Keep that spirits high ! Cheer again to you and John !
now thats a clever modification on the van beautifully done as we have come to expect from Ivan and John , looking forward to the next part of the hall and scott , keep up the great filming Tanya
You guys are a rare breed & so meticulous & accurate in your method I just love watching & listening to your voice,you explain things perfectly ❤️ good luck with the re-rebuild 👍
Another great video, I'm looking forward to seeing the next part of this one and finding out what the problem was. Thank you for keeping these old cars running for us all to enjoy 👍🏻
Fantastic old school engineering 👌 Wish I could give them my Mactool impact cordless !!! It saves so much time and we engineers always need more time ❤
That vans like Doctor Whos Tardis, never would have thought that car would fit in , sneaky notches behind the removed rear light a nice touch to miss the spinners !!
Sorry to see that you have problems with the engine but it does make for a very interesting video! So thanks a lot for letting us follow along and watch as you two take it to bits.. And thanks Tanya (I hope I spelled her name right) for the great editing and camerawork. Best regards from above the Arctic Circle in Sweden
Glad to see the Hall + Scott was repairable, as always with these old engine's knowledge is the key Thanks for sharing and look forward to the rebuild video. Great work for Tanya on video and editing just getting better and better Keep up the great work.
I'm very curious about John's origin story. It looks as though the two of you have worked together for ages. That perfect wordless style of collaboration is such a joy to watch.
Wish that I could click the like button 100 times. Every new episode is eagerly awaited and does not diapoint whent it arives, Thankyou for a great series and special mention to Tania/Tanya, for the excellent camera work and editing.
Love the show love you guys you get it done. We used to use an oil filter cutter to open filter, s it does not pollute the filter with metal from a saw it works like a tin opener. You can buy them for low money on the web. Nice tool I think you would like one.
Again, excellent episode. You take me back to my engine fumbling days with my; in those days, Lotus 7. I’m now also in my 80 but no longer yearn for the sounds and smell of a car workshop. I did work for Speedwell Conversions in Finchley for a time, Graham Hill was a director in those days. Just for a second there, while you were climbing into the car, you reminded me, facially, of my absolute Hero, Sir Stirling Moss. Am spreading the word as often as possible and looking forward to your next episode. Thanks.
Thanks Ivan John and Tanya for your excellent casting and content complete with episode cliffhanger. Hi Amelia and 27 is a perfect age to be married. Stay safe and you have kicked off a rainy day in Australia with this episode. Absolute corker.
It's illogical to check the oil filter for swarf, if the pump stopped working then the oil circulation must have stopped, then if any damage was done running without oil, there would be no oil passing through the filter and therefore no metal swarf will be in the filter from any damage
Love the Mk.X on the hoist there in the background... My dad had 2 of them (one of which I was brought home from hospital in when I was born, hence my soft spot for them!) plus a Daimler Sovereign, all 4.2l. Along with 2 Rover P5B's and an Austin A35 with Shorrock supercharger and more gauges than a Harrier!!
So, so interesting, can't wait for the next H&S instalment......... Great video, I think you've got the music mixed with workshop sound levels just right.
Love this channel !! Just a quick question - it looked like you didn’t have corrosion inhibitor/antifreeze in the cooling system - maybe I’m wrong - but if so why do you choose to not add any ? Thanks
Thankfully I’ve never had cause to open an oil filter, but doesn’t that get a bit messy? I can see that it wouldn’t be adding any contaminants. Cheers.
Me being ASE certified master technician for over 45 years, I would not be able to sleep at night, wondering where that Cottor key came from! As many of those as I seen you put in that engine when you were assembling it, it came from inside that engine somewhere, I would not rest until I pulled that thing apart and found out where.
Glad you didn’t hurt the engine. Or that’s what I gleaned from your final comments. Look forward to seeing the next episode and what actually happened rot the old girl.
Kid that cleans our shop lost the oil drive on his mustang. We told him to cut the oil filter and look for metal particles. He came back all upset that there was metal in the oil filter. He used a hack saw to cut the filter. 😅
i have a 1967 289 that was rebuilt and someone put a ball bearing in the intake only ran a few minutes and that was that. I hope your split pin was not the same sort of sabotage.
@ John Mc Dyer, John's there to do the main work, not to upstage Ivan, but he does the main engineering and is bloody good at what he does, otherwise he wouldn't be working for Ivan and his son?
Another great episode Ivan and John! Can’t wait to watch the next one to figure out what went wrong. How long didnitbtake to take the engine out this time? Tanya is doing a great job on the video work! See ya soon.
I always run trash screens on the pickup sides of my pumps, they stop the big bits eating the pump & then I can catch the small stuff in the pressure filters which give me the warning there's something about to come unglued.
Having a Cat will be a good thing, there are bound to be mice for it to chase and deal with, eager little fella?? 🤣 BIG question is where did that split pin come and how did it get out?!?!
Welds with bare hands? Argh! How do you endure the *blops?* (weld spatter.) Tig gloves? Yes, I’ve gotten blopped *and* leaded (from 50 years of soldering irons, bullet casting, etc.)
"I drove it very carefully" 😂🤣😂.. Yeah... With NO OIL PRESSURE... I tried that one night coming down the A9.... Got to Bankfoot before she died !... Broke my heart... Hexagonal oil pump drive the size of a pencil ROUNDED !!!! 😭...
