I Blew The Motor In My Motorcycle Powered Car

"Faint ticking noise" just means there's no hole in the block yet.

I love that you just own your mistakes. And not only learn from them, but literally point them out for everyone else too. I can't wait to see what you do with the S600 to bring it back to life.

2:00 So subtle that it takes a really well trained ear to notice.

[motorwerk]

Ignore the "slight ticking noise" for now, it's not a really a problem until it 🙃

[adamjones]

This dude will do literally anything to keep from having to finish the Jag... 😂 Love the content!

2:00 I put my volume really high to hear that slight ticking noise. Now I can here slightly ringin noise too...

[clintonflynn]

Always good to see air-quote Matt. Also, this is a great "opportunity" to update the car.

[joannaatkins]

Considering how you absolutely never get distracted by new and exciting projects ever, I'm expecting a three part series on dry sumps and why you're making your own while the Jaguar has a little rest

[coryhaberberger]

We run a cbr600 in our FSAE car and have had really good luck with the Dailey engineering dry sump pump that replaces your water pump, just throw in a electric water pump and add a oil swirl pot/reservoir and we still keep 80+psi pulling 1.5gs

I recently added an oil accumulator to my track toy and it definitely helped stabilize the oil pressure. It just depends on the level of "racecar" you're looking for. For my stockish track toy it's a great improvement for about $500 ish dollars including the accumulator, and all the lines, oil filter mount, et cetera that I made. Where as a dry sump would be a couple thousand easily. One change I would make however is putting in an electronic valve, the manual valve is simple but inconvenient.

I’ve seen a lot of YouTubers recently draining glitter out of their engines and gearboxes. Someone ought to tell them to stop putting glitter in there in the first place!

I love that "slight ticking noise" you mentioned at 1:56. I could barely hear that.

[maxcactus]

This was fantastic, like a mechanical engineering version of Forensic Files with Matt's dry humor to accentuate the morbid death of the Honda motorcycle engine.

[daveys]

I always love the commentary. The phrase “faint ticking noise” is nicely understated.

[davesmith]

I'm lost in envy of Matts attitude to life. Mistakes were probably made but fun was definitely had. All hail.

[ldnwholesale]

Daignosis correct. BUT you should have a 25-30psi oil light. A trailer light is best big and bright!
And ofcourse an oil guage which is the first guage any engine should get, followed by water and oil temp. Than a tach!!
A better pan and what I find to be an excellent deaeraration device, an oil cooler. Not so much for temp but as a device to deaerate the oil. You may have oil and oil pressure but oil with 20% air does not lubricate near as well as straight cooler oil.

I could not notice that slight ticking.. lol

[Bobinatronus]

I know the usual step now would be to go to the venerable hayabusa engine, maybe with a little something called a turbo attached at this point (as the old busa engine is to engine swaps what crabs are to evolution) but may I suggest something from Honda that I am absolutely not sure would even fit in the engine bay?

A Goldwing GL1800 engine.

Make a 'pendulum' oil pickup. It's a oil pickup with a swivel in the middle and the end always seeks the gravity low spot. Works great until it gets a small vacuum leak and sucks air.

[toddsmash]

I love how understated you make things. Slight ticking.

could barely hear it to be honest.
