Wait until you see the rest of the bills 😢 im starting to think it was a mistake 😂 appreciate your hard work ricky cant wait to hear it run for the first time!
All these big youtubers having to fetch their engines to Ricky. does make me smile. great content from The Goat . enjoyed very muchly
The original engine was built from parts manufacturers from every part of the globe on a very small budget and I think it was originally a race engine detuned for the road which was already an old design before it was used on the 1st cars sold.
FUBAR was from Tango & Cash before Saving Private Ryan 🙂
Tango & Cash was where FUBAR was first used in a Hollywood Film. I kna yous aint that old, but as you like attention to detail
if you get valve lash that is too tight ive taken metal off the valve stem to increase clearance before. can you do that with theses heads?
I love your videos i think it eas make it a whole lot better if u fidng sware
I think the commenter got their Tom's and their Oliver's mixed up mate 😉.
Hi Rick, Great video as always. I enjoy hearing about the unit and business updates too. Any of those coming? I’m just a nosey business owner and enjoy listening to others experiences.
Man! Thanks for the shout out! Funny, I’ve been thinking the same about you guys! All the exotics! And intelligent, well spoken videos. Much better speaker than me lol. I’m gonna be doing a huracan vs perf flow battle soon. And showcasing the new GSC Power Division valve train for the lambo. I’m gonna mention you guys in there!
Love watching these videos. I've recently been medically retired from work and your videos have helped me get through a crap time. At 54 I know diddly about cars but watching what you do is just amazing, you're a magician!!
Plus I'm a Gloucester boy so it's also fun to hear how stupid a SW accent really is.! 😅😅😅
Keep it up lads. Thank you for a few laughs along the way. Mad respect to u all.
Nick
I’m so glad everyone is using Ricky and he’s starting to get the publicity he deserves! 🙌🏽
Lotus needs the buckets to fetch that money
Ricky, another awesome video, full of amazing knowledge, thanks.
I have a question for you regarding spring rates. Does a spring have the same compression rate regardless of preload, all the way to lock up?
For example a rear spring on your R6.. if you add preload to that spring, does the compression rate increase? Or stay the same?
I’m understanding the pressure required to compress a spring to lockup is identical, regardless of where it starts moving in its range (preload), is this correct?
Therefore if you want a stiffer rear suspension in this example, you need to fit a heavy duty/thicker spring?
Thanks mate.
Safety glasses GOOD IDEA, the amount of SH….. beg your pardon "debris" I've had in mi-eyes, in mi-time. Anyhow as always, thank you for the vid.
Surprised how rough the castings on the head are leave McLaren’s guess they did the figures and gains and just signed them off
Don't Run A McLaren Then Cry About Parts & Running Cost…Same As Racing & Crying About Crash Damage…If You Cannot Stand The Heat Then F#ck Off Out The Kitchen 😮.
Fubar was from Tango and Cash
Talking about valve springs. I’ve got a V8 RS5 which can have issues there. Is it easy to change them? Do the heads have to come off?
At the beginning of all this I kept thinking that this was going to be expensive! And it is!😂
Make a nice table haha
you have to be one of the most down to earth Youtube brothers out there, on top of that you have to help Armstrong and Slix !!!!!!!! You neerd a medal !¬!!!!
I love it whenever Ricky says “obviously” when literally nothing about what he is doing or looking at is obvious to me 😂
Nah i don't think you look like tom hardy, more like Thom Yorke from Radiohead
15K in parts doesn't sound bad for a McLaren.
Rick needs the 100k sub asap best engine build channel on YT
I think rather than fubare your situation is generally more snafu.
My comment went Ricky, so im having to repost.
Rick, Davlaa, question/suggestion.
How about a cheap little shop build track car by you and the lads as you're all into track. I get tired of seeing these '900bhp savage fastest in UK' carry-on, like you say, Tuner Wars. Everybody is fast in a straight line. Weekly or time allowed improvements/guides on engine, aero, weight, drivetrain, etc. It would be good for technical talks, competition, and insight. It could bring other youtubers on board or head to head to help or build something to challenge you around a track, not down a strip. Maybe a Turbo'd Clio 182 (i dont like french pap, but we all know how cheap and easy to mod they are), or a Turbo'd R32 or 8P S3, something AWD/4WD At the very least, it would be great content tech wise and fun content for the banter. I dont think you need any content advice these days as your channel is blowing nicely like i thought to myself it would last year.
That amount of wear suggest oil flow in the engine is poorly designed.
Could listen to Ricky all day long
Definitely Gollum.
He could stand there and not say anything, he'd still be funny 😊
Defo golem 😂😂😂😂
Saving private Ryan ? fubar was first used in Tango and Cash
