Plus it is a way for Sarah to get in her daily 'steps'! Too bad Angel Fruitcake is not around anymore to move Sarah's cameras for her or very least keep her from hurting herself with her homebrewed cleaning methods.
I'm with you Sarah. You send out an engine to be rebuilt at a machine shop, pay big bucks, and they don't remove the broken studs? Needless to say, they would never receive any of my business again. YOU are a class act by not mentioning their business name, and they are very lucky you didn't. Much respect to you and Charlie.
The best way to clean those bolts is to put them in a lye water solution overnight, next morning they will look like new. That small ultrasonic cleaner is not adequate. As a jeweler lye is my preferred method, it just takes a little longer. Never use on aloe-min-e-um.
You'd think tapping studs would be a given after charging $16k and making someone wait nine months ... Headers look awesome, great work fabricobbler Forrest.
So glad you were able to get your valve covers to your standards. Yeah, sometimes you have to tell a shop everything and some shops get so annoyed when you tell them. Such a crap shoot. So much awesome.
Things get overlooked, maybe I'm a bit hyper critical being prior Air Force with a maintainer background. But yeah, it's disappointing to say the least. Hopefully everything else that matters is good to go!
2 things you could try on removing stuck bolts , the day before spray them with wd40 let it soak overnight, the welding method you used will work you need filler wire ,I've used a mig on bolts broken inside stuff with nothing to put a nut on ,just build up the bolt with weld and 1st try to tighten a quarter turn before trying to undo , the heat with loosen it , otherwise fine job and well done
WD40 is not a legitimate penetrating oil - It's a water displacement product with a carrier component that varnishes - hence the WD.... it's for boat engines that have gone into the drink Bresk Free CLP is a true penetrant - machine shops, gunsmiths use Break Free for threads that are 50 or more years old
Congratulations to both of you on extracting the rusty bolts. You must have been really worried, but everything turned out fine. You show reality without cheating, and that's what makes your chain so precious.
Sarah, thanks for showing the reality of removing stuck hardware. So many channels just show one method and make it seem like it immediately comes off. I appreciate that you take the time to show how difficult it can be sometimes.
Yup... As an actual mechanic, I hate that crap. Removing broken, rusted in bolts is never simple, I don't care who you are. I've long ago given up on "easy out" type extractors. I immediately go for a nut and the welder every single time if I can get in there with it.
There is no “quit” or “giving up” in your world which should be an inspiration to anyone who watches these videos, even those who don’t really care about automotive content. Yeah, the machine shop disappointed in not extracting the hardware, but who knows… the resulting content might just be a teachable experience for someone. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
The more I watch, the more I fall in love with this channel. Sarah, I love your transparancy and willingness to share both the glorious taste of wins and the bitter sour taste of things going wrong.
Love your work! I just hope the engine has been rebuilt with a better attention to detail on the inside than what you have found on the outside. This is an amazing build to watch because you faithfully present the incredible amount of work and time involved in this sort of project.
Even if the stud snaps flush with the aluminum surface, you can still try welding a nut to it again. JAMSI Online has a ton of videos of his methods doing this. He usually uses a MIG welder I believe, because the steel filler rod will not bond to the aluminum, but with proper TIG control I'm sure you will be fine too as long as you don't get everything hot enough to melt the aluminum and you use the body of the nut to protect the aluminum. You could also start with a washer that is slightly smaller diameter than the hole, and that gives you more surface area to weld the nut to also. You did a good job though! So frustrating the machine shop didn't do it.
ON the chilly week Miss Sarah drops the heat. Cant wait to hear what it sounds like when you are done. You are awesome. Have you thought about having a local school send you some interns who want to learn about fixing cars to give you a hand, even if its just with the camera work?
We all love your dedication to rebuilds. It is a delight to watch someone with that much passion to do the job right, even when they could get away with skimping. You keep being you and we'll keep on watching!
Hey Sarah, the headers look killer. wow super frustrating about the broken bolts. Obviously if the shop broke them, they should remove them and as a matter of order, they should’ve been removed regardless and at the very least they should’ve contacted you and asked if you wanted them removed unbelievable. this is really coming together. Awesome Very excited. Have a great one.🐧🐧🐧👍
I know you (Sarah) are trying to leave the engine stock-looking... but after all the work you've done, get those powder-coated in "raw aluminum" color - or maybe even have them shot-peened. Even tho it is normally done to increase strength, shot-peening leaves a cool looking finish.
It's nice you have someone you can ask for help. And it's even nicer that you are humble enough to ask. Still... You are the most capable car person I have seen.
Working with old British motorcycles, I have dealt with many stuck studs and bolts. I don't envy you on that. Shame on the machine shop for not pulling those. I could see it if you were getting just the heads rebuilt kind of, but that also would've been something I would hope they would at least ask if you wanted it done.
Hi Sarah - just wanted to let you know that your production style and transitions are spot on! The content is great as is but your retro-style graphic inserts and transitions really make these videos shine. I appreciate the extra effort you put into your videos to include those! Keep up the great work - can't wait to see how the Celica comes out!
Sarah I've worked a lot on old crusty cars and taken out countless bolts , it's never fun , but the method that gives 100% success is after welding a nut , putting a wrench on it moving it back and forth the tiniest amount, this causes the bolt to brake free from the rust and the nut doesn't just shear of , you can't really put any amount of force on the nut it'll almost always brake off , just move it back and forth with minimal force
I'd been wondering about how you managed to get all of those valve cover bolts out without breaking them, especially considering where your dad's truck had been. Now, I see that you had worse luck with them than I had with mine! I only broke off three bolts....so far...... Anyhow, I'm glad you got that taken care of and were able to move on. And, I have to say that I'm blown away that a supposedly decent machine shop would have left them that way! Wow.....
Loved you showed the battle of the bolts. Sometimes progress is glacial, sometimes backward. It is the overall process where improvements of the self are made.
I love the Mayhew Stud Extractor. I soak and soak with PB or Kroil, tap tap tap tap, go away, tap tap tap, go away, then set up the Mayhew with a light-duty impact. I really appreciate your knowledge and relentless approach.
I am quite picky of the car restoration projects that I find worthy of watching on YT. However Sarah is now added to my Subscription list! Quirky, funny, knowledge informative and friendly viewing all at the same time! So much fun to watch! D🇿🇦
Yes, while maintaining a very warm aluminum base metal with the use of a professional grade heat gun, shock cool the steel stud with an aerosol Freeze Spray after welding the nut on it. The shock cooling along with the large temperature differential between the threaded stud and the base metal is the key.
Great suggestions folks, I would add you can also use an induction heater, they work great and are more concentrated than a torch. Also whack the heated stud with a hammer, that shock frequently breaks the corrosion bond as well. Always use a wrench (6 point if you have them) when turning the hardware so you can watch the end of the stud vs the threads to see if you are twisting it off again…if so STOP, try to tighten it, then loosen, then tighten, then heat, then hit with hammer, then repeat….etc.
Those exhaust headers look awesome. 40+ years ago I put some on Corolla. It made a noticeable difference in the engine's performance. If I still had that car, Iwould do a restomod on it.
what a hard way to learn not to use that particular machine shop. it must be so hard not to blab the name of the place with every other breath! mad respect Sarah! much 💗 ✌️🐝➕
Extremely disappointed with the machine shop. The least they could have done was call you and speak to you about the studs instead of just leaving them in there to be dealt with after (the last thing you'd want to do to a newly built engine). I wouldn't use them again and now feel a bit suspect about the rest of the engine build. Love Charlies' knowledge which really adds to your channel. You two make a great team - more Charlie please! (but not less of you) :)
Still recently use in Canada by some factories with a permit. Don’t know if they used it in the last year or two, stuff came from Russia. Nasty stuff but clean anything of everything.
I haven't commented in a while. I just want to say thanks for continuing to produce the only car content on UA-cam that I'm interested in. The attentions to detail and the way you structure your narrative is fantastic. Entertaining, inspiring, and educational.
I swear I'm a Charlie Fan! I love how you guys make such a great team! Yin and the Yang! I hope the new job is going well sir! Sarah your attention to detail is what makes you so unique! It's insane, but we all love it! I want to be like you, but I can't get out of my lazy way to do it! 😊
I'm really excited to see this project come to fruition but at the same time I want to delay it as much as possible so we get to see you spend hours and hours on this incredible project just that little more! 😅
I really appreciate how you reuse or repurpose parts unlike some of the other channels that just buy brand new stuff you can't always afford to do that
If you break off a stud of bolt flush with the block surface, you can still weld a nut to it. Just hold the nut there with needle nose plyers, and weld through the hole to what remains of the head stud. I'd normally weld them all at once, let them cool completely and naturally and then remove them. Its really common with LS engines.
I'm really liking this Celica build. That car is absolutely gorgeous, along with a more modern engine will make it fun to drive. Keep up the awesome work Sarah!
For cleaning parts, Dawn soap, hot water, and a scrub brush works wonders without damaging, staining, poisoning yourself, and hard work. If it is old and baked on, get a one gallon can of WD40 and a spray bottle. Shake the can first then pour it in the spay bottle and spray it on the caked on spots, let it sit a short time and then use a scrub brush to agitate it. Then use the soap and water again to remove the WD40 and the grime that was stuck on. Then immediately dry the parts after rinsing to prevent rusting or corroding of the parts. Dry with clean paper towels, lint free in some cases, and compressed air.
When drilling where you don't want to damage the part; try using the clutch on the drill (set it to a low number) if the bit catches it will just slip rather than rip/damage something. Thanks for the videos!
I was so angry at that machine shop, I FELT the frustration MYSELF just watching the video! On the OPPOSITE end of the spectrum, those headers look like JEWELRY! Were those welds really done by hand? Holy crap! Great video, as always, thanks for all the effort you put in so we can follow along!
Sorry you had to deal with all the broken studs :-( But, I did enjoy the old tv console and background music lol. Thanks for showing what really happens when you're working on engines.
Sarah, thank you for moving the camera around 6,000 times for us. We love you for your production values
Seriously. I know the pain. But we're here for the details.
Teaching other new-to-tubers how its done!
Seconded. I'd be grateful even if Sarah only moved the camera 5,000 times because these are great videos.
To be absolutely perfect video you might have needed to move it 6001 times....
Plus it is a way for Sarah to get in her daily 'steps'! Too bad Angel Fruitcake is not around anymore to move Sarah's cameras for her or very least keep her from hurting herself with her homebrewed cleaning methods.
Dang, those exhaust manifolds look absolutely beautiful!
Like, Forrest is an absolute gangster!
@@802Garagehe used to work for spaceX doing welding on rockets before moving to AZ
@@SarahnTuned It shows! Does mans have an Instagram or anything?
They look like money well spent.
Way to go Charlie to bail her out. I love how you figure things out but not afraid to ask for help. You're one special person Sara.
Amen
Agreed
I'm with you Sarah. You send out an engine to be rebuilt at a machine shop, pay big bucks, and they don't remove the broken studs? Needless to say, they would never receive any of my business again. YOU are a class act by not mentioning their business name, and they are very lucky you didn't. Much respect to you and Charlie.
It gets worse.. way worse. Next video will explain
@@SarahnTuned WTF !!
!@SarahnTuned Oh No! The timing plate wasn't bolted in place during machining?!?
The best way to clean those bolts is to put them in a lye water solution overnight, next morning they will look like new. That small ultrasonic cleaner is not adequate. As a jeweler lye is my preferred method, it just takes a little longer. Never use on aloe-min-e-um.
You'd think tapping studs would be a given after charging $16k and making someone wait nine months ...
Headers look awesome, great work fabricobbler Forrest.
Well said, unbelievable that a machine shop wouldn’t remove the studs
@@arthurdardalisis it? They saw they were seized and avoided the work. This is the American way.

I used to work at a machine shop. Removing broken bolts was part of the job. I'm glad you got them out. This car is gonna be awesome...
This car, like all your others, is turning into a one-of-a-kind work of art. Great job.
Work of Art sounds about right - it already looks a whole lot better then most of the cars seen on SEMA builds.
Congratulations to both of you on extracting the rusty bolts. You must have been really worried, but everything turned out fine. You show reality without cheating, and that's what makes your chain so precious.

I say this every time I watch your video but I'll say it again. You do outstanding work. Your attention to detail is unmatched.
The machine shop could take a work ethic tip, just by watching.
I love such detailed videos with no steps skipped.
There is no “quit” or “giving up” in your world which should be an inspiration to anyone who watches these videos, even those who don’t really care about automotive content. Yeah, the machine shop disappointed in not extracting the hardware, but who knows… the resulting content might just be a teachable experience for someone. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Helluva challenge you've got there....not the first time, but your refusal to quit and incredible work ethic will get you there 👍😁
Those headers turned out perfect!
The more I watch, the more I fall in love with this channel. Sarah, I love your transparancy and willingness to share both the glorious taste of wins and the bitter sour taste of things going wrong.
Loved the headers. Funny to see angry Sarah not able to make a single nut related joke..... Well done Charlie for saving the day with the studs.
Headers are beautiful! Shout out to Charlie on the broken stud operation, nice work.
Love your work! I just hope the engine has been rebuilt with a better attention to detail on the inside than what you have found on the outside. This is an amazing build to watch because you faithfully present the incredible amount of work and time involved in this sort of project.
Love my cup of Sarah in the morning! Great project!
I’ve been soaking parts in simple green and it’s amazing how well that stuff works

They were rusted/crumbly to the core, there was no removing them without drilling.
@@SarahnTuned It definitely happens. 🥲 I hate having to drill/extract/tap. At least you get good at it after a while. 😂
Wow, those headers are top notch ... FIRE!
Everyone who works on car projects needs a Charlie that can help out, from time to time.

Your level of knowledge AND experience blows my mind.
Thanks again for a great video.
Glad to see the next episode of the Celica's revival. Thanks for sharing.
If you like the valve covers, maybe consider having them clear powder coated?
I know you (Sarah) are trying to leave the engine stock-looking... but after all the work you've done, get those powder-coated in "raw aluminum" color - or maybe even have them shot-peened. Even tho it is normally done to increase strength, shot-peening leaves a cool looking finish.
It's nice you have someone you can ask for help. And it's even nicer that you are humble enough to ask. Still... You are the most capable car person I have seen.
Showing the mistakes and problems make these videos real and keeps my coming back.
Dear Sarah your attention to detail is admirable. Thank you for your blood 🩸 sweat 😓 and tears. You’re the real deal!!!!
Fab video, I love that you take your time with your builds and don’t gloss over stuff.
Welders boob burn is something I hadn't ever considered to be a risk.
Still the sacrifices are going to be worth it.
Those headers are a work of art, as the car will be when you are finished.

So happy you got where you did ❤. LOVE this build!!!
My husband and I are obsessed with your rebuild segments. ❤
Sarah, a quick tip for stud removal is to quench the stud with water instead of penetrant . The colder the water the better.
Yes, while maintaining a very warm aluminum base metal with the use of a professional grade heat gun, shock cool the steel stud with an aerosol Freeze Spray after welding the nut on it.

I get a kick out the use of a deep fryer to clean parts.
Trying to blow the flame through your welding mask was super cute
Outstanding work 🤜!

That engine is so shiny and clean, I could cook tortilla on top of it.
Years ago in the aircraft industry, we had hot baths of Trycholetholene. Cleaned inlet manifolds like new 😊
Still recently use in Canada by some factories with a permit. Don’t know if they used it in the last year or two, stuff came from Russia. Nasty stuff but clean anything of everything.
Charlie knows stuff. Edit Forrest knows stuff too.
I appreciate you moving the camera around 6000 times while you're trying to work.
I dunno if I missed something but why not paint the valve covers? Just because not oem?
Aye.. you knew 🫡

If your machine shop left those broken fasteners in, you need to find another machine shop.
Patience and Persistence are filling in for Prudence in the project today.

I'm really excited to see this project come to fruition but at the same time I want to delay it as much as possible so we get to see you spend hours and hours on this incredible project just that little more! 😅
Wow, very level headed about the poor workmanship the machine shop did. That is not easy to do, especially with the cost of machine work.
lol I about spit a drink through my nose on the weld burn comment. Well done.
I really appreciate how you reuse or repurpose parts unlike some of the other channels that just buy brand new stuff you can't always afford to do that
If you break off a stud of bolt flush with the block surface, you can still weld a nut to it. Just hold the nut there with needle nose plyers, and weld through the hole to what remains of the head stud. I'd normally weld them all at once, let them cool completely and naturally and then remove them. Its really common with LS engines.
Your ideas flow like a river, yes indeed. And your mind is a spicy maraca; you need no weed!
Keep up the great work, daughter!
I'm really liking this Celica build. That car is absolutely gorgeous, along with a more modern engine will make it fun to drive. Keep up the awesome work Sarah!
That was a great one, thanks!
A clean Engine is a happy Engine 👍😉💪
For cleaning parts, Dawn soap, hot water, and a scrub brush works wonders without damaging, staining, poisoning yourself, and hard work. If it is old and baked on, get a one gallon can of WD40 and a spray bottle. Shake the can first then pour it in the spay bottle and spray it on the caked on spots, let it sit a short time and then use a scrub brush to agitate it. Then use the soap and water again to remove the WD40 and the grime that was stuck on. Then immediately dry the parts after rinsing to prevent rusting or corroding of the parts. Dry with clean paper towels, lint free in some cases, and compressed air.
When drilling where you don't want to damage the part; try using the clutch on the drill (set it to a low number) if the bit catches it will just slip rather than rip/damage something. Thanks for the videos!
Coming along nicely Sarah beautiful job on the Stainless Headers
You must have the cleanest valve covers around. Love your project here. Can’t wait until the Sound …….. ✌️🇺🇸
That stud extraction tension was palpable
Awesome video Sarah!!💜
You are killing it! Great project! Paint those valve covers. They will look super sick with a little crackle or some gloss black😉
The music in this episode is straight fiyah 🔥 no water was involved in making it whatsoever!
as some one who just had to do an oil pump replacement on a 3uz-fe, mcuh respect !
The motor looks great! Fun fact, aluminum foil is toxic, so do not use it for cooking.
I was so angry at that machine shop, I FELT the frustration MYSELF just watching the video! On the OPPOSITE end of the spectrum, those headers look like JEWELRY! Were those welds really done by hand? Holy crap! Great video, as always, thanks for all the effort you put in so we can follow along!
We very much like spaceship quality 😊 live long and prosper Sarah!
Im so glad you are showing everything. People can see what it really takes to do a nice build.
