Watching these episodes it's so clear to see that Jared is such a genuine guy
ua-cam.com/video/eq25-hsJtwI7/v-deo.html77
They are the best 😎✌️
Jared - what a great worker , knowledgeable and funny
You two are the bomb as a team
Explains why me and him are friends.
@@CarWizard Now THAT'S an endorsement!
Just gonna say, the music selection during the engine breakdown part of this video being very James Bond-esque is not lost on this viewer.
I love how Jarred is enjoying every minute of this, somehow 😂😂
It's not his money that's why lol
its sort of the same reason i run a small company building big ass gaming computers. i get to play with NUTS hardware and i dont have to pay with it!

Jared just truly love cars. No matter what brand or type it is..
Wich is rare. Most people have a brand or type bias.
Gotta love the “glass half full” mentality. Wish Jarred was my friend to help me with my cars.
A few tips: 1.) Use the Lotus OE head gasket made by Goetze. It's cheap and works perfectly. 2.) JAE has an ARP bolt kit for the cam towers to replace those torx bolts. It's ~$65 and works great. 3.) Removing the engine is as easy as it looks. People who describe it as daunting on forums are generally doing it in the their home garage. It's intimidating for a DIY'er in that context, but is no big deal in a well equipped shop with the engine lid already removed. It pops right out with the transmission attached and is far easier than pulling a 308/328 motor. FWIW, with the head already removed, you may have an easier time pulling the trans separately.
Now it's officially Jared's channel - the wood dash will surely stay.
It might be Jared's channel now, but I think it's _still_ technically Tavarish's car.
I would actually prefer it just be his channel. Wood dash is way cooler. Replacing it with carbon fiber and whatever other mods seems immature on this car, it's a piece of awesome history
JARED’S CHANNEL.
This was the plan from the start. ; )
OK, but who has the UA-cam account password? THAT'S whose channel it is.
4:34 Mechanic quote of the year!!
"Ahh...I have great news!!...you have the opportunity to upgrade!"
- Jared 2021 🤣
If Freddy is the warranty, Jared is “The Machine”.
I just loved the old "007-musical theme" while Jared dismantled those parts.. ;0)
Wrench Every Day is making up for lost time. I like it!
Yes it's like the 4th video today
Is that the first time Tavarish has called this Jared's channel? If so, cool.
Under verbal contract rule. Even if the video is removed, 6K witnesses already exist.
So very totally cool.
In the early days of the channel Freddy told that the channel is not going to be for him. That sometimes he will appear, in that time was another dude, then Jared showed up to help on Tavarish channel at the same time the other dude took off to something else and then Freddy left the channel to Jared
He whomst doth the everyday wrenching owneth the channel.
We told him it was Jared's Channel and he couldn't disagree. It's how things on the internet work!
I used to work on these. You bring back memories. Bent valves? yea I did that to. On a Europa Twin cam, did a valve adjust, full service, went to start the thing and no way. All 4 intake valves bent- on the starter motor!. Customer was on the way had to get it back together. Ripped it apart, changed the valves, put it back together and the customer shows up. He never knew what happened. Kept the valves as a reminder. Started PUSHING the car in gear to make sure I didn't miss anything. BTW the early engines had a problem with the oil leaking from the towers around the oil tubes/ports. (the early cars like Jensen Healey's , had no tubes or oil rings.) Also when removing the engine/trans I always went out the bottom with the whole thing.
Two uploads in a day is pure Yes.
"I got here a little late - Jared did a lot of the work.."
Er, he did ALL of the work! :)
Have you ever even once witnessed Tavarish with a tool in his hand? He doesn't know how to wrench, simply put.
It's what he does every day
Let's be honest, being the money man, gives you special privileges!🤣
I think he meant "a lot of the work is done but there's still more to do" not like "I helped"
Jared is the best. I like when he lets Freddie think he always knows what he is talking about.
Eeeyyy, loving the consistent uploads. You make your content like we are all homies hanging out in the shop with you, in a way nobody else puts it together.
You guys are in for a pleasant surprise when it comes to parts. Availability is actually very good and the pricing is reasonable. You can either get parts from JAE in California or SJ Sports Cars in the UK. Parts direct from SJ in the UK arrive within 4-5 days if you specify DHL shipping. JAE has everything you'd need on the shelf in Goleta, CA.
Really interested to see how will this project goes! More on this! Music was epic btw!
I'm loving the "James Bond" music during the time lapse!
I've thought from the beginning of this car build that it should get a engine upgrade but keep it 4 cylinder turbo and put a K24 in it
So are you saying to run 2 engines???? A turbo 4 cylinder and a k24 you say....
I love how Tavarish started this channel to renew focus on working on the cars and then Jared took it over because he's the only one who actually works on the cars! lol.
Perfect music for the 70's montage!
Great music and editing during Jared’s Lotus wrenching solo
"So the engine's just about ready to start?"
"About that..."
"OH!"
I died.
Jared Pink is gleaming with restrained joy as he works on this Lotus. Love to see his auto enthusiasm!!
Major props to both of you for full sending these builds for us to see. i really liked the hands on time with Jared and also having Tavarish pop in to weigh in as well can't wait for the next one guys keep up the fantastic job!
Duane the editor, you are very appreciated! Always great!
Thanks Benvolio! I sure appreciate you as well! You’re my favorite Wrench Fan today :)
Just came here from the yugo vid on tvarish's channel
Saaaaame
me too hahahaha
We all did
Shoooot, I am doing it the other way round. Can I still join your club?
Same 😝
I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who noticed Tavarish takes over whenever he’s in WED
They both have the compulsion to talk about what they are going to do for 90% of the video. 4 videos to get to the cylinders... One of them spent on compression tests, the other on endoscoping the valves... On an interference engine that they know has a 99,99% chance of bending pistons when the belts go...
2:00 Absolutely love the time-lapse music. As per Shazam it’s “Bachelor on the Move” by Ritchie Everett. Several other inspirational groves on the album as well.
very secret agent working on his spycaresque isn't it,suits the lotus down to the ground.
Jared always passes the vibe check. I really like how he sees the good in bad situations
Damn, things are actually being done again! Am I on the right channel?
this channel used to be wrench every week, now its wrench every 2 days
If you realize the lounge isn’t even done in the back. This was filmed a while ago. Tavarish has being sick really delayed things.
Might want to consider having the head and block decks checked for flatness and planed if necessary, turbo engines need perfect gasket sealing, especially Lotus's.
I won't mind a full resto for this
don't turn the crank with the head off. Cylinder liners will move and cause all sorts of grief. If you are tearing down the whole engine then no worries. Most folk put some sort of clamp across the liners to stop any movement. Hope that helps
I would have never guessed an old beat up lotus would be a pain in the butt!!!
They haven't even started looking at the Renault transmission that might as well be made out of glass.
Yep English cars are usually the most reliable cars in the world, just like old Italian cars were known to never rust. 🤣🤣🤣
@@ThatCarGuyYT at least english cars don't rust... because they're made out of wood... "Build a bridge out of it!"
@@techmaster242 triumph, mg, and every other english car would disagree with you on the rust thing hahaha

I'm a a fan of the new format, like the new music and editing additions.
Love this build! This was the supercar of my dreams back in 1990. I can vividly recall going to an exotic car dealership in Clearwater, FL looking at these cars. The coolest looking turbo 4 in it's time. Thanks guys
These episodes need to be longer to really enjoy
I really enjoy this series. It's the best to date
Definitely a dream car for me when I was younger. I blame Rodger Moore's James Bond. I will have to have a look for one now.
I like the James Bond/ 70’s game show music
Loved the music, matched the fact that these were known as Bond cars.
Jered & Tavarish make a great team. Love the channel
This project keeps on giving and keeps on giving.
I believe in the end this car will be one of the unicorns of the shop.
Though I bet it doesn’t hang around for that long since it isn’t that well suited, size wise.
You guys are killing it right now! Love all the content! Keep up all the hard work!!
"Removing the engine doesn't look like a big deal".
I am so looking forward to this.
Jared and tavarish are such a wonderful duo, I love y’all for making these vids cause I really wanted a lotus like this so bad!
I dunno guys, I'd be a little wary about putting a bigger turbo on that four banger. Chapman and co were designing F1 cars at the time and they would wring out 100% of the potential from these engines. You've already got an engine that went pop for some reason (probably overboost from that tiny turbo), I'd hate to see you get it back together again only to see it go pop again. Great content by the way. Remember, LOTUS stands for Lots Of Troubles Usually Serious.
Great video guys, as usual. Cant wait to see the Lotus up and running but would love to see it back to original, if at all possible. These are quite rare cars now and well worth proper restoration.
Jarred’s the man for the job and the channel hope you guys can keep it alive
Finally he said Jared’s channel , I always hated in a friendly way when Tavarish used to say “my other channel”🤣🤣🤣
Own it Jared! You got this!! Tavarish, good on you for mentoring him through the establishment of this channel. Following you guys all the way!
Love the VHS look! Shoutout to your editor
Thanks David for appreciating the effect! You’re my favorite fan today :)
@@decaharms is the unsung hero in all of this, and deserves more video time
Well done for removing the exhaust manifold without any expletives! Parts supply is excellent from a handful of suppliers, including your side of the pond. Hopefully the sodium cooled ex valves are OK, they are pretty pricey!
Not sure if a body/frame separation on a Lotus is as simple as a DeLorean, but maybe 6 large bolts and with all the lift equipment I see in that shop it might be an idea worth pursuing to get easy access to everything. Great channel and I hope that Lotus gets a second life.
Freddy editing? I hope it was for his channel, the Editor for this channel rocks, don't leave us!
I’m not planning on going anywhere :) Happy to know you’re enjoying Wrench Every Day! -Duane the Editor
really looking forward to seeing this finished! please get this done and not skip it for another build for 6 months..
I remember when I first started watching Tavarish's videos that Jared did not seem comfortable in front of the camera. Deep in an engine bay or technical explanation: happy as you like but not presenting. Now he seems to really enjoy doing both.
Also: I LOVE Tavarish's reaction when Jared say he has the 'opportunity' to build it better...
Can’t wait to hear this engine!!! Need more uploads!
Hi Jared and Tarvarish nice video 📹 and workmanship 📹 no valve bending !!!
Thanks 👍
I love this lotus, but you get a thumbs up for the bondian spy music
You guys' chemistry is so awesome to see.
I am so looking forward to seeing the upgrades and what you guys can do with this car.
Tavarish speaking to the dealer:
"i don't know if this car suits me"
Vendor * slapping roof *
"DUDE THIS CAR CAN GO FROM ZERO TO BENT VALVES IN 2.9 SECS"
Tavarish:
"SAY NO MORE"
I love how they feature a Yugo on the main channel, but a Lotus on the secondary channel. Stay classy, I guess.
Dave Bean and R&D Enterprises specialize in vintage Lotus parts.
For Esprits, JAE in CA and SJ Sportscars in UK.
Am so glad that you will be upgrading the lotus. Will bet you will love this car.
Glad you guys are moving ahead quickly on this project, looking forward to the next episode with the Lotus!!
all these uploads are awesome!!!Jared's channel is happening 👏💪
Jared you are getting so much more comfortable with the camera. The show is great
Love the vintage James Bond-like music. And yes, LOVE this project! I’ve never seen anyone mod this engine. Would love to see 300+HP. You know it’s in there with a little modern tech and tuning.
Regarding the tiny port, it looks to be designed as a venturi, so the idea is to speed up flow and also reduce chamber volume and air-spring resonance effects.
excellent music choice from the editor on the time lapse
Never mind the car shenanigans, you guys always find the most awesome music for the video only bits.
I honestly subbed months ago thinking WED was mainly Jared's channel. I miss site B.
I think jared is doing a great job, Keep it going can't wait for the next episode.
Guys, Check out " Soup Classic motoring" you tube channel. George Karellas is rebuilding his Lotus Esprit so you may well find some useful information on the Lotus there as well as admiring his excellent video work.
Great channel. The attention to every detail and the editing are incredible. Ronald Finger's Fiero build sent me there a good while back.
If there's one thing i've learnt over some 50+ come and go cars, it's this: if the exterior has more than one bodge, the more creative the bodge, the worse the affliction the car has. It's directly proportional.
You can probably get some shop to CNC those valves. The sealing looks real good on that gasket and I would do my best to keep that head.
I absolutely love how pumped Jared gets about the mods.
Just wondering - anyone mention that one of these cars was used as James Bond's car in The Spy Who Loved Me? Possibly one of the others as well.. cool car!
"oh about that"....hilarious!! Love Jared
The James Bond music was so on point! Not sure how u timed that out but it was epic!🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just put a twin turbo charged Honda V-tec in it.
And you can put a proper transmission in it that can handle the horsepower, because everybody knows that the original can't handle anything over 300 hp.
Love the music choice starting at the 2:00 mark. Very British spy-like.
Yikes! Sorry to see your Lotus isn't working out quite how you hoped, we're about to disassemble our Esprit as well to see just what is what. Fingers crossed it's not as bad as yours!
i really hope jared gets a fair share of the revenue from both channels.
edit: wrote "a fair share" instead of "50%" as a few good folks pointed out in the replies that it was too much and I now agree that it probably is too much.
From both?? No. From this one maybe. From the Tavarish channel no way. Freddy was popular before Jared. And he bankrolls all the projects.
@@JonSnowsGhost but bro now jared does 80% of the work on the main channel and 100% of the work on this channel. thinking back to what i said, maybe he should get 40% from both instead of 50%.
Dude . . . that's not remotely realistic. I'm thinking more like 60-80% of Wrench Every Day after expenses of both YT and merch money. Then something like 20% of Tavarish video money for the videos that he's in. Keep in mind that Freddy is still making money on views for the Gallardo and Mini cooper videos with Andrew. Channels take years of nonstop work to build. Jared is fantastic, but if he had all the skills to start a channel from scratch, he would have done it before he met Freddy.
@@neubianx refer to the comment above. also keep in mind that he literally goes to another state, away from home, away from family, for weeks. also uses his own truck to haul stuff. and is a overall nice guy.
@@ssa0026 i hear you. But the work doesn’t matter if nobody is watching. We know about Jared because Tavarish introduced him to us. That exposure that freddy gave him is worth something. Plus he’s editing the videos. To be clear I do think Jared should get a good chunk from wrench and a smaller peace from the Tavarish channel. But we can’t act like Tavarish wasn’t Tavarish before Jared.
I used to use a place in Event Texas called Sports Car World. I dont know if they still exist but I have rebuilt maybe 50 Esprit engines with parts from them. Just be happy you dont need new pistons and jugs.
0:13 You don't fool me. I know you two love each other. In a strange way? yes ... but you love each other.
Love the early James Bond music during the tare down of the Lotus motor lol
Great to hear what your plans are for this car. I’m so looking forward to seeing it finished, I hope it doesn’t sit on a ramp for years collecting dust
I'm so excited for this build.. Can't wait til next episode 😜keep up the good work 👌
Boy it's a good thing Jared and Freddie are friends, could you imagine a regular employee telling their boss that "well you get to upgrade."
Jarod, now that you're officially going broke, you need to make your own wine from the grape or strawberry jelly from the food bank pantry. 2 jellies, 1 lb sugar, yeast (which you can buy or get out of the air). Wine of 13 to 17% alcohol on the high end. Yeast out of the air 5 to 7%.
Hey Jerrod, This is Ted from SEBA. just found your channel. Good to see you again
Love this build. Big turbo please. Keep the plate as well for sure
A little pedantry: "charge cooler" is the most correct name for a single-stage forced air cooling apparatus such as used here because it exists to cool the hot compressed air charge that comes directly out of the turbo or supercharger before it goes into the engine. A proper intercooler is used between intermediate stages of multi-stage air compression, hence its name. Typically in these multi-stage applications there's also an aftercooler, so named because it sits at the end of the forced induction system and just before the engine. Everybody seems to have latched on to calling every charge cooler an "intercooler" though, even auto manufacturers.
SJ Sportscars in the UK are the best source for Esprit parts.... :)
So happy that its just Jared’s channel now. See you more!!
Good chance to do ceramic coating on exhaust manifold, turbine, dump, front pipe and exhaust shield to keep those temps under control.
If you need Lotus parts contact the guys at Sports Car World in Dallas Texas. Good folks and they love old Lotus...or is that Lotusi?
