    I loved my sunbeam, 1.6 engine 1.3 gearbox and 1.1diff OMG! It wasn't fast top end but through the country lanes here in Wales it was rapid the handbrake had been messed with so it would stay up if you pushed the button in to release just lift and drop then it was a rise and fall handbrake. Awesome! Boy racing on a budget 🤣

    Too much time with just water in the Mk3 water system has caused sludge build up. You will need to get the water ways cleaned out. Would be sensible if the head gets chemically dipped to clean it before being refitted, it would be worth it and flushing with cleaners when you get it going again. Remember the rad is potentially full of silt also. I am sure CVH's might use stretch bolts as well on refitting. HGF was on the outer cylinders as Chris showed.
    Good luck on any of the bolts on Dads exhaust. At that age and mileage they will crumble and snap. Will be a bigger job than you might think, but good viewing as always Marcus !!

    • @marcushayesford
      @marcushayesford  3 роки тому

      Thanks for all the advice mate! 👍 The head will be stripped and cleaned @ Clumpfab and I will be flushing the coolant system once the engine is back together (ill be flushing it with a hose before I fit the head too) I have new head bolts for the CVH and yes I think the exhaust job on the Focus is going to 'interesting' with those rusty bolts! 😃

    Your vlogs are very professional. When checking auxiliary belt tension you need to be pushing down on the belt not twisting it as you appeared to be doing. Apologies if you already know this. Gutted to see the damage to Esther but all good content for your channel which I really enjoy and make sure to watch every episode. Be lucky.

    Chrysler Sunbeam brings back childhood memories and it was the last ones from 1979 on that were badged as Talbot.

    Great video Marcus, as always 👏. Running on your break at work to work on the cars, i take my hat off to you.😎 A couple of videos back somebody was on your case about the bubble arches and claimed they were Forest Arches, well, with respect to that person, the rally car at clumpfab has Forest Arches on. So there are a major difference between the two as one could see. As for your dads car, make sure that you got the right one firing on your timing before assembly, as the rotor can turn and you could be way off. Seeing that the head will be stripped that cam timning could also be out. ( but i am sure you should know that (lol) Top man.👍👌
