In Halifax 57 Rescue Show 41, we share a major update on our Bristol Hercules engine restoration. We were genuinely surprised by what we found inside! We also reveal a "treasure" we’ve been hunting for over 6 years: an original Halifax Flight Engineer's panel. This is a huge milestone for the rebuild of our Halifax bomber. We Thought This Engine Was Dead. In this episode of the Halifax 57 Rescue Show, Karl Kjarsgaard shares major breakthroughs from Gearhead Heaven. We tackle "the problem child"—Bristol Hercules engine number four—which we once thought was "dead in the water." After months of removing rust and repairing a damaged cam, we have a plan to see her run again. Plus, a incredible donation from the Victoria Air Museum: a rare Halifax Flight Engineer's panel that we've restored to 100% serviceability thanks to some brand new vintage instruments. 🛠️ Full Engine Restoration series:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoCLdRrcfm_AYYjGsCowFz_ZXwqXkpadF ✈️ Other Restoration Updates: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoCLdRrcfm_CYiuxo8R54SYlm0qXdVnqa 🇨🇦 The Complete Halifax 57 Journey:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoCLdRrcfm_BZ04P3DKC0a3rth0p77N2V Support the Museum: Visit the Bomber Command Museum of Canada to see our progress on the Halifax and Lancaster bombers. 👉 SUPPORT THE HALIFAX RESTORATION: https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/417498 About this episode Timestamps (Video Chapters): 00:00 – Intro and Bristol Hercules engine update 00:40 – Our "Pet Monster": Bristol Hercules Engine #3 00:46 – Inspecting the engine components 01:00 – Saving the "Problem Child": Update on Engine #4k 01:38 – The Treasure: Halifax Flight Engineer's Panel 01:51 – The surprise find: Flight Engineer's panel 02:16 – Finding Rare Instruments for 100% Serviceability 02:46 – The 3 gems of the restoration 02:57 – Final Success: Removing the Rust and Fixing the Cam 03:15 – A Special Message: Beating "Cancer" (The Rust) Follow our progress: Halifax 57 Rescue (Project): https://halifax57rescue.ca Bomber Command Museum of Canada: https://bombercommandmuseum.ca TimeKeepers Canada: https://www.timekeeperscanada.com Credits: Video/Photo: Ken Cook Video Editor: Peter C.
