Great Job, great videos. Catching up with you. been in hospital. And as of last Thursday, My soul mate, wife Elizabeth passed away. Keep your family close to you. God Bless. One of the men Alan
Great Job Simon, You have a lot of patience, and well done in getting that bolt out by welding the nut onto it your persistence paid off. Keep these sort of videos coming.
Howdy Simon- you do have more patience than I do. It’s ridiculous how the companies build vehicles nowadays. I think they expect you to take them back to the dealership to have them worked on and you have to pay outrageous high prices for the labor. Very happy you were able to get your vehicle fixed. Hope you have a great weekend. God bless
Hello Paul, I would rather be doing something I enjoy but you know how it is and to be honest it was weirdly satisfying. It feels as if I have spend more time with a wrench in my hand than a saw! I hope you are all well my friend and thank you.
Wow Simon! That was crazy fun watching…..there were moments I noticed I was clenching my teeth 😂😂😂! And you just got on with it. As soon as you turned the switch she purrrred! Did you have to add / replace more oil the where ever that oil comes from for the timing belt? Fantastic watch thank you for sharing. So sorry you weren’t able to go fishing! Loves and all the best to you and the family. And big hugs to Kasper. ❤️🇦🇺🇸🇪
Thank you Anne, I may have clenched my teeth once or twice. I checked the oil when it was finished and the dipstick was the same so I left it. Sarah and I have been fishing twice since upload of this video and both time we had to shelter from the wind and got wet. But we did get fish yesterday and git wet! Have a great week.
As I've said before - we don't like this content - we LOVE it!! Another win! Happy weekend up there you all - and I really, really, really hope you get some more fishing in for the season... I think you've only shown us one fishing video this whole summer!! Stay safe and free up there!!
Thank you my friend, your to kind. I am very aware the fishing video's have been lacking and can explain. There are 4 reasons I would not produce a fishing adventure. No fish, raining, to windy or Sarah is on the boat. More than one of these has been the case on the rare occasion I have been able to get on the boat and to be honest all 4 of then has been the case most of the time. It has been a terrible summer here. More rain than most can remember and when we have been out we were only able to do that because the outboard I am now using is twice the power of our old one and the boat is able to navigate better in the wind. I do not have enough fish for the winter either. Kasper has had no pike at all so far. We send our love and wish you both the best.
@@arctic-rebel Summer... a strange, almost forgotten concept? We've had our second bad one in a row... might be something to do with that volcano dust deposited last year? I'm trusting you get in a few GREAT sessions!!
Getting the crankshaft pulley - ‘bolts ‘ - out . Those flange head bolts looked same as the ones on my 4 bt Cummins , were either 10 or 12 mm grade 8 , if I remember correctly . & the torque was specific ! For the hard ones, I like a 6 point box end wrench with an offset , so, as I am trying to loosen it I can also use a hammer to impact the end of the bolt ; a short 6 point impact socket also works , but requires 2 people .
I am sure that would work, however as you could see with a transverse engine there is not room to use a hammer. I have now added an electric impact wrench to my tools. Better late than never.
Great one SI can see and hear your frustrations with parts and manufacture of these vehicles but as you say persistence shines through plus having started you can't give it to someone else to finish the job. The turn of the key must have been great to hear that engine purring away with no faults, lovely jubbly 👍
Cheers Ash, your right a horrible job but had no choice so may as well do the best I can and it worked really well and runs sweet. Got so much into it now should be good for a while. Take care.
Nice job there Simon.. Lets hope the old Transit still has some life in it🤞You certainly have put some hours of work and frustration into it... All the best to you guys🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Mark but would rather have been doing something I enjoy. Not to take anything away from doing a job you hate well. Have a great weekend.

I have a similar year transit Mk7, and all the jobs you listed at the beginning are the ones i have completed on mine! 😂 I also replaced the crankshaft pulley, exactly the same problems with the nuts as you, ended up welding nuts like yourself. A few choice words were made. I've also replaced most of the brake piping, but that wasn't too bad. Just trying to summon up the courage to start on replacing the timing chain! 😅 Brilliant video, well done. Did you use a ford original timing chain as a replacement btw?
Hi, I did not use a Ford timing chain. I do not think it even had a brand to be honest. When you get to the static timing take your time to get it right. The rest is jut a process. Good luck.
There was a screen flash that said. The chain tensioner was stuck, which means the owner was not changing the oil often enough & also probably was not using a high quality synthetic !
Maybe, I read this was a know fault on 2006 to 2008 models that they had a weak spring which allowed the chain to go slack when cold. As I explained it stopped once the oil pressure increased.
Hey Simon, thats a very skilled job on your car. Did you work as a mechanic before? Thank you for info about the timing chain. People often use timing chain as a plus selling factor compared to cars with gimingbelt. They both wear out one sooner other later. Did you fix the heather?🤠
@@arctic-rebelseems to , works great , I learned it from a web site called 4 bt swaps is a great bunch of guys from all over the world , they coach people who put , not only Cummins Engines into whatever but other diesels as well
@@arctic-rebel I gave an answer to this , but maybe o did not hit the post arrow . Must do , for it sure works good . I learned about it from a web site- 4 bt swaps great group of guys ,that help people like us when we are swapping engines . People talk about putting the 4 bt , 6 bt, Perkins, etc into almost every thing . They tell you were to look to find the info you need to study & even give direct info ; their members are world wide. One guy in Australia ( black duck ) drives a 1 ton ford dually with a 5.9 Cummins . A fellow up in Albert or BC Canada even builds special application engines / & grinds his own camshafts ; last I read he was shipping one of his engines to one of the east coast states. And everybody consults Charley for specs.
@@arctic-rebel @arctic-rebel lol. You done a good job regardless mate especially as you didn't have the tools needed to hand. Fortunately I got taught loads of tricks during my apprenticeship that have served me well, welding a panel washer onto a broken bolt or screwed up head then welding your nut on top of that as well as using candle wax instead of just spray oil has gotten me out of some potentially costly situation. I also used to live in the middle of nowhere in Northamptonshire (nothing like how in the middle of nowhere like where you live) & hardly ever had other transport to get me tools or wot ever, it was always build the tool you needed or your stuffed. . Great videos luv watching everything you do, thank you so much for sharing, Amazing workmanship. . .
You made'it! i was thinking, having the ground on the car while welding on the crank will not somehow affect the bearings or i think is having some plain shaft bearings? is not great fuss i'm just wondering.... I'm writing this just to learn something, not a bad thing about the job.
Thanks, all I can tell you for sure is what I have been told and learned. I do not work and the latest models so not applicable. Keep the ground as close to the point of touch as possible to localize any current flow. I personally have never had an issue with electronics after welding. Keep heat transfer local and cool immediately if required. Only weld if you have no other option. Now I have purchased a set of nut/bolt removal tools which will have removed that bolt in under a minuet. Better late than never. I kind of stick to those ideals and touch wood not had a problem.
I pulled up the vid again to see if I could find where the ground clamp was ; no luck ! Yes you are correct , but Simon says he has been told & learned , that’s good ! The heating & cooling of the “(BOLT)” would help break it loose ! I have had to do similar , (worked 20 yrs as a maintenance man @ Toyota plant on California) , hate working around pipes & tubes, to easy to hit one with the rod & blow a hole !
Transverse engines are always a royal pain. I sold my last one earlier in the year and I'm done with them. Never again. Funny how "high mileage" is such a regional thing, around me I'd consider something high mileage until its around the 300,000kms mark.
We both know why transverse engines are used and I cannot wait to be done with them but right now need must so fix it I can. It is interesting what you say about it being a regional with regards to mileage. But what I forgot to mention was the type of mileage as well. While millage here is high, it is at low speeds over long distances with gear changes and braking at a minimum.
@@arctic-rebel If FWD is a must I prefer a transaxle like suabaru uses. However I do realize that transverse engine set ups are cheaper and more compact, which of course has its place. I still find them infuriating to work on, especially in narrow engine bays. As far as they go yours didn’t appear terrible for access. Around me that high mileage is usually spent in heavy traffic, with ~30-40 minute highway runs. Most modern cars seem to be pretty done around the 300,000 mark with our conditions.
Thanks to you Simon . I am not familiar with a Ford Transit , hence the Question . I have heard that Ford put 4 cyl Cummins engine in pickups for Brazil , could this be same ?

Hi, I have never worked as a mechanic but have repaired and built many different vehicles over 45 years not all successful but mostly.
For the best penetrating oil , make your own . Mix 50/50 ATF & Acetone.
Acetone has an immediate evaporation rate, does the ATF hold it within the oil and prevent the evaporation?

What is the torque spec on those crankshaft pulley bolts ?
Crankshaft pulley bolt torque spec on a 2.2 FWD:
Stage 1: 45Nm.
Stage 2: Angle-tighten a further 120 degrees.
Didn’t the new chain guides fit? 😊
Yes but they were nasty cheap compared to the old ones which seemed good to go.

Ford vaaans always make me think of Ray Winstone
I have owned ever single Transit MK up to 7, no idea how many MK2's I have had but it was alot. Ray did it and said it all what a great actor.
Isn't it fun being a modern mechanic?
Oh yes Dave and absolute party! We both know that is not true, worse still no real advantage over a proper engine.
What engine is that ,? sounds like a tractor .
Thanks to you Simon .

Not a Cummings, not sure you could even use a Cummings in a transverse situation as tight as that.
