Love your perseverance, 2 of my injectors need doing on a trafic with 218k miles on it 😮. I’ve had to subscribe as enjoying your channel, I never take my motors to a stealership or garage. A few cuppa teas and hit the UA-cam university a get back to it. Good work thank you for the entertainment and info
Little tip for lubricating things you've heated up, use wax of some sort, like a crayon or candle, hold it onto the hot part which will melt it and go down in-between and act as a lubricant, if you try spraying WD40 it will just boil off and not work
Cheers mate , much appreciated 👍 Yer I'll hang onto the bottom end it ran well even with the injectior pouring fuel out, a old engine might turn up at some point 👍
Valiant effort mate! If it was me, before i went any further with that head id take it to an engine machine shop & get them to assess whether or not that head is scrap or if it can be saved. If it is scrap then obviously no point in continuing with that one & move on to the next stage.
Cheers mate, I'll keep my eye out for a top half you never know, it been hard work, just glad I got it apart, as a last resort tho like this but they are proper welded in to the head, work to on the blue van engine next 👍
It's been a valiant effort, but I fear the head is now effectively scrap. The cam journals are bored in the upper cover and head in a single operation. You will be extremely unlikely to find one that bolts on and allows the cams to turn. You will likely need the cam journals line bored on top of the price of removing the stuck injectors. Probably far outweighs the cost of a second hand or recon head. Great effort, though. It's taught me a couple of new tricks, and it's been fun to watch someone else struggle for a change ❤
Hey Mark, i have a head here, it has new valves, it has been skimmed, i fitted it, but turns out my problem was with bottom end, so got another engine, would be very cheap if you want to collect, cheers, Mark.
Soon as you start breaking stuff, it's you, not the engine... This is like Electroboom - :-) Oddly addictive watching someone act serious while clarting the job. I'm lolling here.
If you actually want to know how to remove a stuck injector, watch my "MK3 Golf bearing removal" vid - use the same stuff to knock the injector sideways around. They pop out. Not a chisel.
i was proper fed up with by now and was trying to just save the block, what use it going to be I've no idea, it in conner of the garage now lol, thanks for watching it wont be last injector I have to get out, I've got 5 👍of the other type out, (video on the channel) but these really were a nightmare
Hi Mark, thank you so much for all of the effort that you put into these vids. You really work hard. Could you give me your opinion on these engines, not counting the problems with the injectors? How do you rate the vans? Thanks, Mark. Paul from Widnes
@torchyboyz Thank you 😊 👍 So these engines are ok if they are looked after the biggest problem as you can see is the injectors this type of injector on this engine the vans are generally good, over 16 of these vans and they do drive very much like cars apart from the engine just general wearing tear but that again depends on how you look after it and what you're doing with it I like them bits are cheap and lots of helpful videos like mine forums to join any good selection of aftermarket bits, I would try buy one the nicest you can afford with a good service history and looked after Mark
heat then ice water when trying to unseize things works a treat. there is some form of chemical reaction between steel and aluminum that's why most bolts and studs get stuck in ally heads. { galvanic corrosion }
Fair play mark ! Wet up those bores with some clean engine oil and the top of the block to stop any rusting or pitting , then put it away for a rainy day 🤦 youll probably end up dumping it in the end 😂
Hi mark , can you have a look where the injector clamp bolts hold the injector clamp down , can they be drilled to a size 10 drill bit and retapped to a 12mm tap to the full length ( diameter ) of the original clamp bolt without hitting / damaging the the cylinder head mate , someone has snapped a clamp bolt in mine and tapped it to original size and it’s failed so I have to drill and retap bigger and wider again , ive managed to drill a 10 and tap a 12mm helicoil but only gone into it with 30mm of helicoil to hold it for now but need to go deeper to get a secure hold on it so it will last , but don’t want to damage anything by going deeper until I know what’s there , thanks mate
Yeah there is a video on my channel where I actually drilled it M10 and tap to M12 but I didn't go down far about 30 or 40mm ( not inc the clamp) used m12x50mm I also used stainless steel dome washers and stainless steel M12 as you can tell you will be using the rocker cover housing as part of the thread aswell, how far is damaging goes I'm unsure because this engine I still have on a stand. I'm not found of a van to put it into, but I didn't go too far down
@@ON-THE-DRIVEWAY thanks mate I’ve had to do exactly the same for now gone in 30mm and backed bolt up above the clamp with washers , I’m having a headache with this van , I just hope this holds with just the 30mm helicoil 👍
@JohnBingo-x5l I didn't even coil mine, it I just drilled it and tapped it I know the o.e, bolts are stretch bolts, that go full but 30mm , of a m12 compared to an M8 even 30 mm it's quite a lot of meet on a bolt,
@terryevans637 Not sure you need mine lol, looking at how I've had sort this mess out, I'll like to rebuild at some point, and get into one for the van for sure
Just tried everything that had to hand to get these out, without spending a fortune or some sort of kit, kind of got them ½ way out, I'll go back to at some point, I'm sure I will
I've got a mag drill I may have ago with that, I'll speak to a engineering company to see what they think, aswell, it all down to cost, let hope it doesn't end up scrapped 🤦♂️
@simonrawle7885 Hey pal, this engine dead, but when I get I get the van and if has injector that needed sorting then yer, I'll defo do some sort of video with you 👍 Drop me an email it on my page, 👍
never thought i would watch a series on an injector removal but i am well and truly invested haha
Brill mate cheers for the support on channel 👍, might have a talk to Steven Spielberg, see if wants to do a movie oit of it 🤣🤣👍

A few cuppa teas and hit the UA-cam university a get back to it.
Good work thank you for the entertainment and info
cheers for sub, yer i try do it all myself to if i can, use UA-cam as well to help, lot of work to do on this blue van now 👍
@@ON-THE-DRIVEWAY you’ll get there
10 out of 10 for persistence 👍
Cheers pal, sort off. got somewhere with it now 👍
Little tip for lubricating things you've heated up, use wax of some sort, like a crayon or candle, hold it onto the hot part which will melt it and go down in-between and act as a lubricant, if you try spraying WD40 it will just boil off and not work
Good idea that 👍 that could work now. The heads off 👍, don't mind trying all sorts now if off,
Subbed for the effort put into these last 2 videos marra, some might not get it but a wins a win and saving the bottom end made me smile. Top man 👍
Cheers mate , much appreciated 👍
Yer I'll hang onto the bottom end it ran well even with the injectior pouring fuel out, a old engine might turn up at some point 👍
Wax…Great diarrhea thanks

Yer looking like the best option that mate, then no more messing about, 👍
Very vood mark what a load of hard work an effort 👍 i would like to see you get this engine up an running it would be amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yer the head looks bad. Now it all off. it looks like scrap, I'll keep the block for abit see if anything turns up, 👍

Yer was thinking the same! All to scrap it for 😂 might make a lamp stand out it and a table 😂
I'll hang onto for abit you never know,
The heads off .... well done fella 🙂
🔨 smash it 🤣🤣, cheers, mate, it's not totally fixed, but I feel better,

@@ON-THE-DRIVEWAY thanks my mate , how long has yours lasted since you sorted it mate ? Thanks
@JohnBingo-x5l
I've not put the engine in a van to try it yet, hopefully more that 2min 🤣🤦♂️
I'm loving your professional technical expertise , any chance you do engine rebuilds as I need one done .
@terryevans637
Not sure you need mine lol, looking at how I've had sort this mess out, I'll like to rebuild at some point, and get into one for the van for sure
cant knock your efforts pal
Cheers mate 👍 I gave it ago
Just tried everything that had to hand to get these out, without spending a fortune or some sort of kit, kind of got them ½ way out, I'll go back to at some point, I'm sure I will
Fair play. I would have lost the will to live and chucked it in a skip
Cheers, pal. Thought about a skip afew times myself, not just that engine 🤣
you going to try and bench drill the rest of the injectors out ?
I've got a mag drill I may have ago with that, I'll speak to a engineering company to see what they think, aswell, it all down to cost, let hope it doesn't end up scrapped 🤦♂️
@@ON-THE-DRIVEWAY just tell the wife you tube has paid for a milling machine
I have have the Sykes Pickford kit for this. Do you fancy a UA-cam collaboration
@simonrawle7885
Hey pal, this engine dead, but when I get I get the van and if has injector that needed sorting then yer, I'll defo do some sort of video with you 👍
Drop me an email it on my page, 👍
top man you did well
Cheers mate, 👍my headache is gone now for a bit now, lol
Cylinder 1 piston bowl looks disfigured
I'll take a look at that tomorrow. Thanks 👍
Can you stop making so much noise on your driveway, the people driving by can’t hear themselves think 😂😂😂😂😂❤️
@greggbutler9344
🤣 I live to make noise no ones bothered 🤣 it's worse when I'm cutting windows out make a right racket 🤣
