I’m just here to feed the algorithm … Patreon for the win.
Thanks mate :D
All hail the algorithm.
Some times m6 is not stronger then m5, cause the tread pitch is bigger it has less tread to grap with, that's the case with very thin materiale, in these cases you need a fine tread bolt instead, in your case it should be fine Jeff 😉 please remember cutting the rest that's touching the drive shaft on the gearbox before putting it back in😉 Regards sören from denmark
I agree with the fine threads, and was also wondering if you had finished off the gearbox to prop shaft shield, loving the quick release exhaust
There's always something that goes wrong with these builds. It will be all worth it, very soon it all be a working monster of a machine. Keep up the good work Jeff.
No matter what happens… you allways seems happy with a good smile…
Kind of sad that the build is coming to an end, but after more than 200 episodes you and Mrs Jeff are worth a nice long journey with the Alfararri. After it is properly sorted out of course. I will miss the fun facts and the fantastic work you have put in to this build. But at the same time I'm eager to see what comes next....
I WATCHED YOU RESTO VIDEO FOR THIS ALFA ,,ITS AMAZING THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE ,, THE ALFA IS TRULY A WORK OF ART ,,, ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO VERY MUCH ,, THANK YOU
That balance technique was awesome!
Best build on KZhead.
Zen and the art of Alfarrari maintenance
Jeff while the gearbox is out don't forget to trim the propshaft shroud so it clears the UJ's
It's like a delicate dance, one step forward two steps back. But eventually you get her done😊
Jeff, The Alfarrari is coming along great. Don't blame yourself, that throw out bearing broke when the car stopped on the dyno. And, I'll just say I hate seeing you do metalwork especially on them lathe without eye protection
Very nice work - by now I’m sure you could dissemble that car blindfolded on a dark night with just a spoon and ball point pen!
Tough break with the release bearing, but good to see the crank pulley toothed wheel fixed. 👍
Mrs. Jeff is a champ!!
Nice fix on the crank pulley Jeff 👍 Throwout bearing sucks but at least you have a lift and a gearbox jack thing too. Better than the old days!
I had the same problem with my near new HK 327 throwout bearing in 1969. I redid the connections on the bearing yoke and fitted a new bearing. It was under warranty but dad and I worked for the GMH dealer so I did it. Saginaw gearbox. Grrrrr.
Mrs Jeff looks absolutely stunning today!
@12:10 thats the face. we've all been there. no words just "aaaaaarrrrgh... sigh"
Gald you got it running again! you'll get it right!
You have the patience of a SAINT. We will forge on however.
hi jeff might i suggest you drill and tap 3 or 4 holes that are on the edge of the crank ring that will secure the ring on its edge and not on its face , less chance of shearing
this is the 1st of many snagging the build videos, enjoyable for us to watch and share the pain, not so much for you, trigger wheel looks better, if it does fails more precise shoulder bolts to stop any free play👍👍
Shoulder bolts are only for location, not preventing movement. If the clamp load fails and things start moving, it’s only a matter of time before it falls apart. It’s not the material of the bolt that holds it all together, it’s friction.
Your continual dedication is something to be admired. Respect to you ❤️
jeff when you change the gears of the crank shaft you have to ballance the fly wheel because of the vibrations can damage the engine.
His shirt says it all. Outstanding fabrication skills.
That sucks about the clutch 😕 but you will get it fixed, I've been sidetracked with fixing a caravan but put it on hold to finally fix my Rav4 pulled the transmission apart now to sort new parts then get it back together and back in the car but it will probably next year to get it back on the road 😕👍🏽
are your new M6 bolts stainless hardware? i find stainless shears easily. I like 12.9 steel in the black despite tendency to be rust attracting
I've got solid shifter bushes in my Getrag V160 (Supra 6 speed box) and they sure help eliminate slop. Who doesn't like a nice solid and direct feeling shift?
I hope there will be lots of driving videos of this build. So much work. needs to be driven. awesome work Jeff
This is the teething portion of the build, Jeff where the final 90+% will take a long time. Glad you got the crank angle gear fixed. Sucks about the release bearing, but you will soon have that all sorted and the car will be screaming again. Cheers, mate! One of the best builds I've followed on YT!
Jeff, might be better to fit a co-axial type clutch release bearing, although the lever type has been in use for many years the coax type is a much more effective/tidy device and removes most of the failure points in the release bearing arm system. The old bearing was certainly making a loud clatter, you did well not to swear at it 😂.
Clever thinking with the balancing rig .
This series of videos has been awesome, the value of being practical can often go underrated I feel. Good Skills!
Thanks Jeff, glad it works again! 👍💪✌
You’re so close to completion. Looking forward to seeing the completed car successfully driven 👍🏻
It’s getting there Jeff, minor setbacks for what is already an amazing car just to look at 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Unbelievable reno.
The smallest oversight can often cause hours of work... Looks and sounds AWESOME!!!
Hi Jeff! Remember to trim the drive shaft housing while the gearbox is out! 😅
Keep going bro. Keep going… you’re almost there. Great job.
Bumbed for you and Mrs. Jeff!
Hi, I love the way you balanced it very clever very simple
Almost done! Can't wait to see you drive 'er.
Bugga. Did you cut that dust shield off that was hitting the front uni joint? Looks like you might've.
Beautiful work Jeff unbelievable!!! And beautiful Mss. Jeff!!! Have a good day and thank you for your work!!!!❤
Must be frustrating to be so close and having to fix problems that didn’t think would occur. Keep it up Jeff, the end is in sight.
hey...you may have sorted the issue already but while you have the gearbox out i thought perhaps it would be a good time to remedy the prop shaft/gearbox connection clearance problem you had there...?
Yeah… I put a throwout bearing backwards once when I wasn’t concentrating.. it doesnt work real well in that configuration! I’m sure you’ll double check that bearing every time from now on. It’s such an annoying amount to change a $30 bearing!
i guess it can helps, if you use a drive shaft coupling… have a look to SGF drive shaft coupling
Fortunately no serious problems with the engine and you know what the problem is, on to next week 💪🏻🍀🤞🏻🙂
Hi Jeff ,nice vid as always Glad to see the alfararri almost done. Just a thought , the bolts on the crank trigger shouldn't be threaded the other way around,so it would self tighten themselves instead of them trying to get loose, just because you have them on the back of the crank ?
I have had the clutch bearing problem before check the gearbox nose where it slides may need a clean up i know all about start up nerves but they will fade away with use great job as always.
Given how tight everything is you’ve built a car that’s pretty easy to service. Impressive!
Hope the fix works on the crank trigger. Torsional vibration can be a drama and the best fix will be to pull as much weight out of the part as possible. Suggestion if it fails again.... Make sure there is nothing strange with the clutch diagram that might have damaged the throw out bearing. Perhaps a rivet has snapped
If you want the job done right, do it yourself a few times Jeff😁 amazing how you found a Subaru gearbox to fit a Ferrari engine
What I thought at first was that you forgot to remove the flywheel lock. That would definitely be something I would do!😂
Nice work
More progress. Just keep going, I thing at a time 😀
05:48 Sounds like you were "reluctant" to remove the engine!
Great video
Interesting build. Perhaps find somebody who has more experience working on Ferrari engines. There is a reason technicians place a fan in front of the car when its on a dyno. Airflow into the front of the car has a huge impact on an engine’s ability to maintain the correct temperature. There is a reason these engines have two engine management control units. Either way, its an interesting project. Good luck.
Hi Jeff. It’s pretty strange with what happened to your thrust bearing. I was wondering if when you used your locking tool on the clutch bolt did you remember to put the bolt back in? This would cause the clutch fingers to be uneven and shake the bearing and fork like it did. Cheers, Andy.
The bolt is in. It was half off the end of the sleeve.
Great job!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
You must have heard me yelling for you to make sure that you balance the crank. I actually thought that could have been one of the reasons that it did not hold up too well.
Hang in there... this will make you appreciate it more when it comes together. (no consolation for the moment) ❤😊
Okay, so I had to delete my gated shift comment but still enjoyed it!
I don't understand the stress on a trigger wheel. It's a light part that just spins.
C'mon Jeff, you can do it, I know it !
Excellent fix, shame about thrust bearing. At least that should be an easy fix. Good work.....
Bummer, keep on taking working on it
Thinking you would have made measurements of throwout bearing slide shaft when making bellhousing adaption Jeff so was it just not on the fork properly, does it connect to the fork to drag it back?
😂😂 sound But you fix Mr 💪🏻
Love your honesty when things break. Good luck with the final things that need to be done to get this as a daily drive.
The joys!
What grade fasteners did you use for the trigger wheel? It matters, for longevity. Glad to see it running again. 👍🏁
A4 Stainless.
A4 stainless has bugger all tensile strength, better off getting some 12.9 cap screws, I work at a bolt shop, let me know what size and I'll send some down.
@@HomeBuiltByJeff its possible he meant what tensile strength.?
The car turned out really nice Jeff Those knock off Cromadora wheels you got are the shit! Very cool
Put it together, turn the key and go? That was never going to be the case with this car. So much custom fab.
If a jobs worth doing it’s worth doing twice 😂 poor bloody Jeff
When balancing the crank pulley is it not necessary to account for the woodruff key weight also? Or is too small and too close to the centre to worry about? Thanks.
Watched the entire build on this Alpharri as you call it. You are incredible!! Welding, building, painting, leatherwork, . . unreal. Would not of chose a Ferrari engine, but the selling price will fetch big dollars to right rich dude. Yellow color with matching engine color is soooooo beautiful!! Great job!!
I’m proud of you… your’re so brave. Do it again and again and finally it works 💪🏻 You’re so close now 🥰. I follow you from France 🇫🇷 from the beginning of this project, i can’t wait to see it when you’re done. I wish one day I could see the Alfarrari for real 😍 Good Luck Jeff
That's weird.. the trigger wheel has practically no torsional load. I've made that throw out bearing mistake before (similar to it anyway). What a pain in the butt. You sure have a lot of patience!
Maybe out of balance? At 9000 rpm 10g at 10cm is about 100kg of force
I’m used to lube the shaft for the release bearing. Did you do that?
Nice.
Ah, not so bad in the end. I've had some luck locking the flywheel via the starter mount vs removing the gearbox. Might have saved some heart ache here?
I needed to fix the shifter anyway ;)
I’ll leave something to satisfy the algorithm to. Looking forward to see where you came up with for the dashboard trim. Great job Jeff, I love this car!
D’oh! So close! 😅 Life would be boring if it all just worked first try though wouldn’t it? 😬
Absolutely. Sometimes boring would be nice though ;)
@@HomeBuiltByJeff Lol I hear ya! 😉
Great job again Jeff, question where did you get the tranie lift jack from?
Through Supercheap several years ago. I was ordered in though.
@@HomeBuiltByJeff ahhh cheers 🍻
Ok so is it just me or does mrs.Jeff need a lab coat a pointer and some Black Rim glasses
2015 Ffs Jeff you’ll need to get moving Ferrari hasn’t enough history to keep Mrs Jeff ( who deserves a medal for learning these lines) from catching you up 😂🙏🏴
I measure jobs not in hours but in dammits.. You re-pulling the gearbox appears to be a 4 dammit job...which looks to be an improvement on the book rate of 6 dammits....by my math, you are two dammits in the black!
Don't like the plexi on the hood kinda wrecks it imo. Sick car though 10/10 build.. would look better if you sunk the headlights in
👍👍
We live and learn hey..😅😅
Having to pull the engine to remove a Pulley would have been such an OG Ferrari thing ;)
You just wanted to do it twice, admit it Jeff
Ah, the last 5% of a build that takes all the time.
👍💪
Well it is a Ferrari!
Jeff, at that speed of removing the gearbox, you could join a Rally Team, they always need fast mechanics!
