Thanks David

Great episode, and result. Best regards South Oz

Thank you very much.

Thanks Dave, yeah bit of a pain.. it was a bit tired

Thanks Dave👍

@@petermckee1061 thanks Peter

Gapless top or Gapless 2n/d did you use

@stujones9976 thanks for your reply, I ask my engine builder to use Total seal gapless rings I would have to check the part number to answer that question. Have not tore engine down yet .

Morning.. I started it from scratch, a small shed at home with 1 bench.. something seems very wrong there.. is one of the breathers blocked or are the rings fitted upside down

@@graceenginedevelopments yet to strip that what I am looking for things to check. Thanks

@@christophercullen1236 rings fitted incorrectly, piston to bore clearance, incorrect dipstick so to much oil, blocked breather

Thanks Kevin

Thanks mate

@@roygardiner2229 thanks Roy, yes but I triple measure, I use the read out, the indexed wheel on the lathe and also measure

Cool.. when do you want to pop in?

@@graceenginedevelopments Ill ring you buddy

@@mreuropa88 ok mate

Didn't go in the end, it was finished before I was

Thank you.

Thanks Chris.

Thank you

@@paulcrehan9523 hi Paul yeah we are all ok, how are you? Yes definitely old aluminium can be tricky.

@@jonlem45 hopefully mate. See you at snetterton if it's fixed

@@graceenginedevelopments Knockhill for me next

Oh you not at snett then😢

Thank you, you should book in and do it.

Thanks mate.Yes we were very lucky. Yes they were funny

Thank you, yes I'm not sure what caused it to fail, maybe fatigue. 👍

Thanks lee, yes it is, no we can't run flat shift unfortunately

@@graceenginedevelopments ah that’s unfortunate! A lot of us use the 60g for rallying, great reliable unit! No doubt you rebuild it yourself? If ever you’re in doubt with anything feel free to give me a shout. I do a lot of work with them

Thank you, I will. Mines been pretty good only problem I've had was with the needle rollers in the tailshaft

I agree mate

Hi Kit, I reduced my speed and wanted to be ready to just jump out near some marshalls if I saw flames, the smoke was bad in the car.

@@graceenginedevelopments good move I was watching from a few away miles away !

Thank you, I could sense you watching me🧐

Thank you, yes hopefully next time we will finish the weekend

Thank you, they are funny.

Thank you, yeah kids are funny just natural.

Thank you

Very true Kevin, could do with a change of luck, we will fix and move on to the next one at snetterton

Thanks mate

Yes mate.. worst part of the truck

Yes it does mate. Thanks 👍

You're welcome, he's a polite little dude.

Thanks​@@graceenginedevelopments

@user-mh9ef5ox1b no worries

Yes harsh and expensive for about 8 laps but hey ho.. just need to fix it and I have some ideas for more power

Thanks Philip

Thanks mate

Yes I know.. I do remember then when I start filming they fog up and I can't see.. not an excuse I do need to remember, thanks for viewing 👍

Hi James, I think the end bill was around £750 I can't remember to be honest

@@graceenginedevelopments brilliant thanks. I'm rebuilding a 205 at the moment and think it'll be worth sorting the head before I get the engine back in.

Thank you

I'm filming a pinto at the moment

Thanks Mike 👍👍

Thank you

It's out of a pickup race car

Thank you very much.

Thank you

Thanks Mark, will do.

Thanks Steven, I do love it.

Thank you

Thank you, yes it's surprising that the old methods are disappearing

Yep, you are not wrong. I was taught to tap threads in Metalwork classes when I was 12, 55 years ago. Basically, once the tap or die has got a grip, I do one full turn forwards to get going, then back off 1/2 a turn, then forwards a full turn. So effectively you are only cutting forwards 1/2 a turn at a time and are clearing the cut thread by half a turn. I have not broken a tap for donkeys years and I was doing M6 in 316 stainless yesterday to 20mm deep.

@billdoodson4232 you were taught properly. We will hopefully take someone on soon to try and teach

could have used a 22mm plug as used on old harleys and tractors

He wanted to convert to M14 so it's easy. But you're right he could have.

Ok mate, next week will be better for me

@@graceenginedevelopments No worries !

@mreuropa88 thanks mate

Thanks Roy, adhesive may have been a good idea I'm just worried it would come loose and come out with the plug.. would have been quicker that's for sure.

Thanks Peter, customer seemed happy so that's nice . It's nice helping keep the vintage stuff on the road.

Thanks Kit. What do you mean by fitting a plate? When welding?
