Impressed (and envious)by the amount of machinery you have. I have home built one Duratec and several Pinto engines, I need to build another Duratec so thanks for the build video.

Like how KZread's subtitles describe the noise of the injector test as either 'music' or 'applause' depending on the speed they're running at! 🙂 Great video again.

Thanks Bob. We got a few now. Still want more

I am really enjoying the transformation from the old shop to the new shop a special the engine build area. The make up artists are doing a great job on you ( Hollywood) BUT the audio for a old colonial like me is very echoy in the engine assembly room. Keep up the good work Kit from down under

Thanks Kit, Tracy has brought me some microphones so I’ll use them soon, the lighting don’t seem great in there as well.

👍👍 Another great engine build.

Love watching these James. I always used to use a big wedge out of my missus's Vaseline pot to prime the oil pump 😁. I did clean my hands first😂. I love that snap on torque wrench mate that wasn't cheap was it. BTW I spy a Lotus twink on the bench!

Fab! I learned a lot of generic engineering info from your video. For example, about torque angle.👍

It's worth doing, I did a set today they were shocking to start with.

This video is a fantastic resource - thanks for taking the time to share it. I have a question regarding balancing. It looks you installed a fresh set of the factory cast pistons and rods. Did you also have to balance those? I ask because I've heard it's a pain to separate the factory rods from the pistons, as the wrist pin is pressed in.

Thank you. I just checked them as a complete assembly

Nice work mate 👍🏻 I’m guessing more OEMs are going over to girdle mains so they can machine in situ and save build time?

When you use the crank balancer I wish you would use the 2 safety arms,,,, just in case something goes pear shaped,,,, 🙏🙏

Can you do a Zetec or ST170 build. The brown block behind you when your building the duratec looks like a Zetec/ST170 block. The engine behind you in the engine room too looks like a Zetec too.
