  • In a previous video i had to have my exhaust sound measured after the engine conversion to a 2.0L zetec in my MK1 ford fiesta.
    It turned out to be way too loud so i have to do something about it.

    Didn’t think there was any MK1 Fiestas left, I worked for the company back in 79 that made the seats for those and other Fords. Can still visualise loading the jig up and welding the part of the seat frame that you sit on.

      There are quite a few left especially in the UK. Further abroad they get less and less common

    Det är effektivast att ha slutdämparen så långt bak som möjligt (längst bak).

      Would be nice but I won't get it through the mot in Sweden with a turbo on it. There is a limit to the amount of horse power to weight ratio and a turbo would take it miles over the limit

    Hello Mike, I finish assembling my 1.0l engine but I am in great trouble to adjust valves. Do you have or know some video about?

      I just remembered I do have a video of me setting valves cleerences.
      Its not exactly the same engine but the principle is the same.

      Yes , what I don't understand is how to put valve in order to check . In the Haynes they say there is a mark of piston 1 high level on the pulley but I don't see it. There is also a method with valves in balance, but I don't understand well.

      @@jeanpaultergeist8748 as you turn the engine over watch a pair of valves as one of the valves comes up the other one will go down, at the point where one valve is up and before the other one goes down the valves are "rocking" at this point you can adjust the opposite pair of valves. 1 and 4 and 2 and 3 are the pairs you adjust. So when the valves on cylinder 1 are rocking adjust the valves for cylinder 4 when the valves in cylinder 3 are rocking adjust cylinder 2 etc. Have a look at the video i linked to and there u have set some valves

    I watched your UA-cam video. Your every video is really awesome. But your channel and your videos expect more views and subs. I analyzing Your UA-cam channel and I found UA-cam video SEO is not done. This is why your video is not going viral and views are not increasing.
