Great to see you back!

you bounce back nicely

Glad you’re back guys, looking forward to the videos.

Keep your chin up as lessons have been learned .

Welcome back. You were missed.😊

As a general rule, for me, I always try to stay local. It costs more in the short term, but you have more recourse if things go wrong. I find if you pay less in the beginning, you pay more in the end. That being said, the reverse is not always true! You are really learning everything the hard way. I feel for Ziggy, he must feel so let down. Don't feel bad about Poland, Ziggy. This happens all over. Everywhere has its good and bad.

Gutted for you both. Using those kind of hose clips on a marine engine says it all.

So impatient to see the next episode. I think you are on a path to being KZfaq contenders! To encourage Ziggy, we have many Polish immigrants in Ireland, and - my opinion - they are adding to my country's future!

Overall, and apart from the engine issue, it appears that you have both had first rate advice and support. And even though there may be further mishaps along the way, this is a marvelous project that is worth completing. On top of which, becoming intimately familiar with the anatomy of a yacht will prove invaluable for future sailing and repairs. Finally, your undiminished determination is infectious making this series compulsive viewing!

I hope the mechanical work has been done to a decent standard; I can understand that a reputable mechanic does not want to paint it as he is probably not a painter, and restoration work is not in his repertoire. That said, you Know what you want; I am sure you are more than capable of making it look very pretty.

Nice to see you back! Love your honesty, determination and progress. Keep up the good work!

Needs to be cleaned with citric acid and then sprays with aircraft paint remover, then covered in an etching primer and painted with Perkins paint

Sorry to see that pride of work to the end of a project is in many places in the world has gone by the wayside. Detailing an engine can take a lot of time, effort and cost but it is no excuse for not at least proper cleaning descaling and derusting with a heat resistant painted surface as the minimum.

Quick tip on the video. I am aPro vidéo editor and your skills are definitely improving. I loved your quick open to get us hooked. It worked. But it went a little too fast. I had to watch twice. So give each shits a few more frames, maybe add a little dramatic music/hits and clearly separate the intro from the rest of the spot. But great instinct

It could look a lot better with a quick paint job. Use wire brush and scraper, maybe first degreaser, some ospho to change rust to different compound. Maybe can find original color for Perkins paint, in spray cans, don't need to take anything off, even factory often paints hoses. Maybe mask a few things if you want bronze showing.

You have every right to be disappointed in not getting the level of quality you thought you were paying for. I'd be a lot more concerned about level of detail the put into rebuilding the engine. If you have access to a borescope you can remove a glow plug or a fuel injector and look inside the cylinder to see the condition of the cylinder walls and pistons. Consider painting the engine white with some high quality high temperature engine enamel . It makes it easier to spot oil leaks in low light engine rooms.

Really felt the disappointment of the engine refurb, especially because of all the amazing work you have done on the rest of the boat. Looking forward to seeing where you end up with it.

The engine on my yard, is Mercedes, 0M636 been running for 40 years. Still going strong great video by the way what happened to you guys?😂

Hej załogo🥰W pierwszej kolejności cieszę się ogromnie, że znowu będę w miarę na bieżąco z tym co robicie! Po drugie, tak, macie rację, człowiek uczy się całe życie i jak mówi przysłowie "umiesz liczyć, licz na siebie". Pozdrawiam. Buziaki🥰

Welcome back that is a bit of a disappointment it doesn't take more time to claen and paint an engine as you rebuild so i can understand your anxiety i wish well in getting it how you want looks you have made a good start with it 😊😊😊
