I got all the parts that I ordered and I started assembling the engine, but.... Did I order everything? And is everything that I ordered what I actually needed? Maybe not... see for yourself.
... and we thank you. BTW, watching you bore out those cylinders earlier was a thing of beauty. That seems like an essential piece of kit for engine rebuilding.
Elin, just so you know. I just sat through a very long advertizing while waiting for your video to start. I am told that this is what it takes for you to earn some income from your channel. I'm happy to do it for you. I use permatex indian head sealer. In the future when torquing main bearings, you start from the middle and work your way out. I don't know why, it's just the way I was taught.
Thank you, Bob, I appreciate it :) I allays follow the pattern to tighten the studs on the head, but I never knew that was valid also for the crankchaft. Good to know. Thanks!
Oooh, the ads are a good thing :) As long as there are people to watch them. I just need another 500 000 people like you guys and I can retire from official work and do only restorations. For now I am happy I have what I have and I appreciate each and every one of you!
hello again i am not always commenting but i am always waiting to see whats next. i like that you and Cheftush got together. i wish i was closer to meet you guys both in person.I am in ottawa but maybe sometime i will motor down to Toronto' always thankful that you post new videos and go back often to review techniques you use. i wish you would name the products used to build like the gasket maker etc.that is great thanks and keep it up
Thanks, Oliver! Yeah, Ottawa is not that far away. Did you read Cheftush's comment? Do not miss that invitation, I've tried his BBQ and believe me it was delicious. He barbecued in the rain especially for me and my son! Let's go... I thought I was naming the products. I mentioned a couple of times the gasket maker I am using - it is Permatex - aviation form-a-gasket. Also the Chem Dip, the Mothers - aluminum polish... I am not using that many products anyways.
Great video as usual. You're braver than I, though, to perch the gasket maker pot on top of the crank shaft. I'm sure I would have spilled it everywhere inside the engine.
Well that was what was recommended in a video I watched about engine rebuilding and I tried it. It worked very well so that is what I am using since. And I am really happy with it.
Really, that's great! So I can stop watching your videos now. That was the only reason I was following you, I was looking for my spacer on the floor LOL Was it next to your little clip?
I saved them as spares for this very reason - I already lapped the originals and I didn't want to do that again. Oh, it is warm... ish... already. I am just behind with the video editing. The footage is almost 2 months old. This engine is in my 66 Spitfire and I am driving with it for 5-6 weeks now.
