Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.
this guy clearly is a neat person. the way he put back his tools after he used it, the way he clean the dust on the table before proceed to another step, and that leftovers from masking tape. that alone makes me appreciate you more sir, great job as always!
Nice result ! If I can just allow myself a little advice, it would be to put a little grease on reassembly on the threads of each screw. This avoids these white deposits of alumina in the threads and also the risks of seizure and breakage during disassembly.
I could just hear the conversation in the meetings now. Hi, my name is Avi, and this all started one cold December morning when UA-cam recommended a Hand Tool Rescue video to watch. From there I was hooked!!! Next thing you know I'm watching My Mechanics, TysyTube, The Good of The Land and Really Random Channel. Now I watch 4-5 times a day and I don't see any end in sight. We love you Avi!!!
Really nice job. Be careful using steel wire brush on aluminium. It can impregnate the aluminium with microscopic steel particles which will start to react with the aluminium over time. This will start corrosion eating away the aluminium under the paint surface.
I really appreciate you sharing your work. Restoring a bike and your videos have been invaluable. Looking forward to going through your backlog of videos and seeing new ones. Thank you, sir!
I often listen to music while watching your videos and I've discovered that you can play essentially any music and your videos are still hold up, very entertaining and satisfying
no need to apologize for the rain, it was actually really nice in the background. that color is gorgeous and works really well with the sparkling gold!
Your videos are very satisfying to watch. Everything you rebuild is absolutely top notch. Your editing is great and I'm glad you decided not to talk in your videos. Thank you for speeding up the video when removing bolts and such. Nice job! 👍
I really love the zip tie holding the bench grinder down... and the old brake lines to hold the hardware in the bucket. really cool project that came out spectacular.
never restore the grinding wheel as a reminder to all of us or those who let equipment die, please never restore it. its a huge feature and hook...if you know what I mean! Let those who do not have anything in their garage that needs restoring....cast the first stone@@RRCRestoration
Hi RRC my brother is a painter so I understand the work that geos into painting, you have such a broad knowledge of so many things and so many bits of kit, the work you turnout is amazing, can't wait for the Honda to make a return !! that manifold I guess was of a diesel or a poorly running petrol after that de-coke it should be a lot more responsive on the pedal, ATB Wayne.
Whipped out my Dremel a while ago when working on my truck. My father called it a toy...at least until I solved the problem with it. His opinion is if it doesn't weigh at least 20 pounds, it's not a power tool.
Work smarter, not harder. 20lb power tools wear down the body faster. At 40, I'm pretty beat up and broken because I didn't care when I was in my 20's.

@@1conu593en so if he wanted to wire brush casting marks that’s one thing … sand blasting the rest would have been a much faster method and most importantly a cleaner finish !!! And personally I would have powder coated it but that’s what I do for a living so there’s that .
That looks like a VW CIS Fuel Injection Intake Manifold not a diesel manifold. My watercooled Diesels had a giant maw that held the air filter element directly into to the manifold. Maybe the T25 vans used a different arrangement but this looks like someone did a retrofit turbo.
Also it's amazing how many people I see commenting from other restoration channels. I guess we all have the same addiction. We should start an AA meeting for restoration channel addicts.😂😂😂
It's like porn but for tool heads and DIY'ers. Something so satisfying with watching something going from "I should throw this out" to "It didn't look this good out the factory."
Good question ;) , It survived no problem as i tested it before rebuilding it. Although it may be made a redundant system when building the engine as my friend may decide to blank it off to stop the carbon from building up again and to improve throttle response.
Hmm. Sketchy bench grinder. Could use a quick restoration. Maybe ask Hand Tool Rescue? ;-) good to see the meticulous continues. "What have you got there?" "Several dozen large plastic containers." "Why did you buy those?" "I need them for chemicals and other forms of storage." "We have DOZENS of large plastic containers!" "Ja, this was true, however, as none of them were a perfect match, and without symmetry, the world is simple chaos, a miasma of ever changing madness, no human could understand such a hell, and we would all br driven insane, I destroyed them all. These large plastic containers, however, are identical in every respect."
Really loved this video and beautiful result in the end. I loved the way that you showed yourself clearing up after every step and putting your tools away each time. I cannot abide working in a messy environment. Top marks to you for the end result and also the journey to get there.
it would be great if your bolt unscrewed bits were also restored, because they don't look very nice against the backdrop of the beautiful detail, and your videos are just great.
Hi, If i had the cylinder head at the same time as the manifold i would have matched the ports but porting without matching it to the cylinder head does more harm than good.
Sorry for my ignorance but shouldn't that paint be high temperature resistant, wouldn't it burn or come off? Please answer, it looks amazing and I would love to do that to my car 🙏🏼😅
George is always happy to do his job😁😁 That is one wicked purple!!😜😜 I’m always amazed by the level of your work, you always take your projects to the next level!
That purple looks pretty much the same as the purple on my old ZX9r, I'm painting my callipers to match once the weather gets better, hopefully while getting the Tokiko lettering gold. I've been a subscriber for a while, but that is what drew me to this video when it was recommended. You seem to know how to do anything and everything, and have the means to do it, great stuff 👍

What was the black spray can bottle you painted on the manifold 1st? Was it a primer?

When your intake manifold is a piece of art..
for some reason i’m now feeling the compelling need to buy a Volkswagen Transporter intake manifold
Yours is the second time I've watched a restoration video while a thunderstorm raged in the background. Both are relaxing I believe.
Im glad you enjoyed it :)
Great work. Beautiful.
But you REALLY need to make that bench grinder. It's literally screaming for a makeover!
Totally agree the bench grinder would make an excellent project.
One day soon ;)

Complimenti , è uno spettacolo guardare questo video . Grazie per divulgare questi video .
No joke I blew off the dust when you were done tapping.
wonderful result! This purple is beautiful and this oxidized aluminum side makes it all very vintage. I just love it
Thank you, Glad you liked it :)
I don't think there is ANYTHING more satisfying than getting a rusty seized up bolt loose lol.
@hangtime 7190 uhmmm ok....🤔
I used Header paint on my intake, manifold. Actually helps in keeping heat Out. Keeps charging air cool. Or VHT Wrinkle paint.
I hope you make a “recap” video, to show us the new homes each of these pieces are installed too.
Rain noise is soothing, also rainy day is the best day for these jobs!
The fork and knife when you vacuumed the excess 🤣
Well I wish I had your skill and patience to do this kind of work! Well done it looks absolutely fantastic
Thank you :)
Prince wants his intake back! He misses Purple Rain ☔️
idk about anyone else but the way he taped it up was my favorite part

the sound of the rain means that your video is blessed so dont worry
Put earplugs in the thread holes so you don’t have to tap them
I like the choreography displayed by George. I will certainly retrace your steps and do my own BMW E23 manifold.
😊 👍. Well ✔
Your purple looks like Midnight purple color but without the Rainbow effect. Looks cool.
I would love to know that code color
@@ofassina LX0 or you can try LV4 or LP2
From the paint looks, it looks like midnight purple+some sort of blue (probably a dark one)

I liked sound of the rain. For me, perform such tasks, can be quiet relaxing
Glad you liked it :)
I'm a bit ignorant, Why you didn't sandblast the whole manifold instead?
Because it needed some wire brush work to remove the casting marks everywhere so it would have been an additional unnecessary step
@@1conu593en so if he wanted to wire brush casting marks that’s one thing … sand blasting the rest would have been a much faster method and most importantly a cleaner finish !!! And personally I would have powder coated it but that’s what I do for a living so there’s that .
The things I could do with a shop like that! I hope one day I can afford all that equipment
That purple is amazing. Just curious, how does it all hold up to heat? Great work.
If it’s high temp paint
It should be fine
I can’t see headers going above 500°F
you dont have to be sorry about anything. thank you to share your experience with us
great job
George snorted that powder like a real G
I think that gold would look excellent as the primary color.
inside of that manifold reminds me why i hate working on diesel engines...
Especially that have EGR.
That looks like a VW CIS Fuel Injection Intake Manifold not a diesel manifold.
My watercooled Diesels had a giant maw that held the air filter element directly into to the manifold.
Maybe the T25 vans used a different arrangement but this looks like someone did a retrofit turbo.
Very relaxing video to watch, and the rain was a nice addition.
Also it's amazing how many people I see commenting from other restoration channels. I guess we all have the same addiction. We should start an AA meeting for restoration channel addicts.😂😂😂

A collector would happily have that on their shelf. Beautiful work.
Tbh Ill be a little sad when i have to give it back to its owner it looks so good sitting here on the shelf.
Wonder how well the diaphragm in the EGR held up to that process
Good question ;) , It survived no problem as i tested it before rebuilding it. Although it may be made a redundant system when building the engine as my friend may decide to blank it off to stop the carbon from building up again and to improve throttle response.
@@RRCRestoration your friend has a good idea. Never been a fan of EGR systems
Really Random Channel it looked so nice afterwards he should have just left it on 😂
@@miatafan you don't have to remove it just replace the gasket with a solid plate and it's blocked off but looks stock.
I was wondering get the same
I love the color purple! But this color I could have my whole car in this. I can’t stop looking at it!
Hmm. Sketchy bench grinder. Could use a quick restoration.
Maybe ask Hand Tool Rescue?
;-)
good to see the meticulous continues.
"What have you got there?"
"Several dozen large plastic containers."

The sandpaper to outline with tape is genius!
"Time to remove ugly casting marks".... Grinds off serial numbers.
are they important
@@jac1793 only if you need to replace the manifold. Still not a good thing to do though
They weren't serial numbers, they are the manufacturers codes.
Not really a restoration if you remove the codes and shit.
@@johno9507 on some car serial numbers are there all codes are important.
That purple and gold is our high school colors in Kansas beautiful jobs love the colors

Brilliant work mate! Super tidy and organized shop. Let’s see more of George! 😂
Before you 'experts' out there ask...... remember it's an intake manifold and doesn't get red hot like anexhaust manifold.
the intake is very exhausted on the inside

it would be great if your bolt unscrewed bits were also restored, because they don't look very nice against the backdrop of the beautiful detail, and your videos are just great.
