The Bedford build was one of the best builds on UA-cam due to the amount of re design / build of parts to get the Barra in. I am really glad this build is back it’s going to be very interesting.
As a mechanic myself, thanks for keeping in some of the really detailed information. Was awesome to listen to you both have a technical conversation over an awesome engine.
Do it Tyler, or do I start with the p*ssy comments (again)? 😛 Join the club and learn the pain of spending the same as your house deposit on an engine capable of 1500hp. 😈👍 Nananananananana I can't hear you Paige! 🤣
The usual 'thumb up' for the content, and two more for correctly using lb-ft, rather than ft-lb which is actually work done.👍👍👍 So, a trip across the Pacific in the future for the Bedstead? It'll confuse the heck out of our American buddies 🤣
Fully enjoyed that, U.K. resident here and have always had a love from destroked and engines so loved the idea of this! Was hooked throughout, sometimes these full depth can lead to jumping through but watched the length!
As we move in the electric age of motor vehicles, I do hope that this wonderful knowledge and craftsmanship of building amazing combustion engines is preserved in some shape or form ...
Thanks for sharing so much technical detail. Especially the part about the fire ring crush over the gasket thickness. I've talked to so many "Pros" about this over the years, and frankly if they work with RB's they shrug their shoulders. Half the reason I've been o-ringing instead, which comes with its own set of issues.
That workshop looks cleaner then some restaraunts! The attention to detail, and the explanation of the sealing rings, so clear and easy to understand why!
Robby seems like a sound dude! It's nice to see some one who appreciates good quality machining and design. Not just the standard "ooooo it's shiny so it must be good" I had wondered in the past about axial roller bearings as thrusts people always think they don't need something until they need it.
Some days I think I've learned enough from The Skid Factory to rebuild and customize my whole Mustang... and then there's days when I watch the teachers learn and i think I better buy a new transmission and pay to have my engine rebuilt. Keep up the GREAT work guys!!
Awesome..your video quality and presentation is leaps and bounds from when you started. I had my engine geek fix this morning so thanks guys and well done
Absolutely sensational stuff...! What an absolute belter of a motor. Great to see masters at work who explain stuff in layman's terms without any smoke and mirrorsn or bullshit. Well shot and edited too. Great package, well done fellas...!
Cripes! CAD is almost at par with AUD, that is one heck of a crankshaft. I'm convinced you get what you pay for, but that crank costs more than most heaps I buy and drive 😂
I pulled mine apart myself last week, engine out, valvesprings, studs, billet oil pump, HD timing chain billet sprocket, Full exhaust, stage 2 intercooler, air box, 1000cc injectors, external gate, fuel reg. gtx ii 3584 turbo 460 pump. Just dropped it off for the tune. Hoping it comes back 400kw on 98
Thanks for this video! 😊 A long long time ago (lol) I worked in an engine shop, and it makes my day to see Robbie doing his thing and handing out knowlede. Two dead set legends that don't talk any bullshit = ✔🖒
High performance build and … Al is most interested in getting a nice new ring compressor just like Robby’s. Good to have your priorities straight! 🙂 Good tools are important.
Well done fellas and as others have said, love the level of detail you go into in terms of degreeing in the cam and fire ring crush etc. Also awesome watchin Robbie go about his work.
The copper/bronze gasket reminded me of the same trick done to my Kawasaki big bored bike back in the eighties, as no gasket existed for this mod at the time. I had a copper ring and groove in barrel, just annealed it and apply torque. Cant wait to see this engine in action, interesting build.

Have a look at "Wacky Mick" hes got a c20let turbo bedford van 500 bhp, which does under 10's in the quarter mile.
Love this and love the Barra though I don't understand why its being de stroked?? Nice work as always gent!

Should go ok
Might chirp second if you’re lucky
So when you need to stop do you just throw your giant balls out the window to work as a anchor?
I'd enjoy seeing this murder rowdessey in a roll
Any updates,
Nah, I gotta civic that'll roast ya
It's cool watching Yoda in the background just soaking in all of the knowledge in front of him. Never stop learning peeps.
Too right, no matter how much you learn, someone else will always know more.
Not necessarily know more. Just something you may not have come across.
He’s like a big hairy kid in a billet candy store.
After 40 years in machine shops, one thing I've learned is you befriend and hang around with the old guys. Cuz they know ish that you don't!
Unfortunately now I'M the old guy.....
Seeing a old Bedford pull on a commodore is priceless 👌😂🤣
Cracked me up aye 🤣
I used to deliver tv's in one of them a while ago (trying not to admit how old I am)!
More Robbie please. He was great at explaining stuff.
If this engine business doesn't work out, Robbie can be an old dude fitness influencer.
no joke!
He's built like a brick shit house aye.
Goals
As an old dog at 50, whats his hastag # you young crew call it lol
Brick shithouses wish they were that solid! What an absolute silver fox lol
Robby there the kind of guy who's forgotten more than I'll ever know. Good stuff.

Only thing that might top this is a compound turbo fed Barra.

Watching these two Aussie blokes talk about those shiny parts is like a work of art thanks for the upload guys.
Robbie seems like the nicest engine builder you'll ever meet, nice work guys!
Good to see that Bedford again, it was that build that got me watching the Skid Factory 🤙
Watching Robbie apply his craft to a Barra was awesome and I noticed there were no power tools only hand tools.
only youtubers use power tools,craftsmen use hand tools

considering how good an average boosted barra sounds, i cannot wait for this thing to hit 10k with boost on, its going to sound incredible
😂
I went in the van at powercruise yeah ur right the blokes insane wanting more power 😂😂
I'm sure Millsi's real reason for this is he wanted the 700hp barra for his mower.
Thank you for letting me see all of the engine building.
Bedford back in the shop means Herbert will be back as TA and Van lurker!
Robbie is a gun and that’s why he builds my engines. Top bloke and no bullshit.
Robbie Abbott a true blue Aussie Bloke
Love that blokes attention to detail. Awesome work
This was an excellent video.
Robby knows his stuff, and made it relatively easy to follow along.
Complex stuff but interesting to watch.

im a young guy in the u.s. we don't have berra but learning about the timing wheel and the cam centers was very informative for me today.
A bit more detailed than Engine Masters, eh?
@@alexbrown1995 yeah I learn alot of information about 1uz/2jz here that's also not exactly common knowledge in the states.

Thanks Robby 👍🏻 good explanations
Cripes! CAD is almost at par with AUD, that is one heck of a crankshaft. I'm convinced you get what you pay for, but that crank costs more than most heaps I buy and drive 😂
10k for rods, pistons and crank alone.
You guys are my go-to Tues after work viewing!
x2!
10k rpm i cant effin wait to hear this thing

Plainly ridiculous...very well done, the world needs far more crazy stuff these days.
Nailing it again :-)
And people wonder why it costs so much to build an engine properly. His hourly rate includes the 20-30 years of experience. Great work fellas!
I think the invoicing goes like this:
Tightening the bolts: $30
Knowing how and how far to tighten them: $500
Robbie is a champion!!
Robbie is as sane and sensible as Milsy isn't. That seems like the right way around.
So good to be back and seeing these legends in action👌🏻
watching someone so knowledgable in a specific field is amazing

Learned more about cam timing than I ever had before Thanks Robbie
Brilliant video guys!

Awesome episode. Never seen that sealing method with the ring and gasket separately. Great stuff
Well done guys. And I really can't wait to hear this monster
This think is going to sound brutal. Love the craziness in these builds!
Good choice of van, they’ve pretty much disappeared over here so it’s nice to see one getting some love.
Robbie is on another level, amazing knowledge and skill
Gee would love to get me hands on your first barra to throw in my bedford!!!
Awesome job guys, I'm inspired now.
Abbott is an absolute legend.. great man
Robbie looks like he can whoop some a$$! Bet hes messed some people up in his day. That hurricane episode is one of my favorites. Good onya Robbie.
Back in the day I reckon he would have caused a bit of carnage at the local pup 😂😉
Always interesting seeing true masters show off their craft, going to be a screamer i reckon :)
