Alittle swipe of grease on your copper washers will hold them on the injector tip as well

Rob Is a handy man,great man to have around Olly,Engine rebuild was brilliant,love this type of stuff,where it's not perfect but you show everything(like the bent exhaust stud😀). Brilliant stuff

I'm 97%, my little boy is 91%. We think Rob is 31. Nice video today, I should have sent my dad over, he'd have loved helping you both with the rebuild. Right up his street.

Stick the washer on the injector with a blob of grease. Valve clearance it to allow for expansion so the valves are not held open

Great video olly Rob is the a good man to have around 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

Great video looks like you were having fun learning about that engineat trick with the dipstick

Great work on the rebuild, looks like Rob is in his element! I was surprised to find that the Speed Limit on our Disco changes when the Tow Bar is deployed. eg on Dual Carriageways shows 70 but 60 when towing. (Just another bit of IT to go wrong 😹)

Great to see the engine rebuild 👍

Great to see the 1690 going back together as I know it’s previous owners. Feeling 85% today.

#100 % marvelous what a Manchester spanner can do. Good to see the progress on the 1690. Great video as usual

Rob is 33. Born April 1989 same week as our Andrew.

90% after seeing the 1690 going back together, brings back memories of doing my 1594 and22years later she's still doing a days work, normally on the conventional baler s they have a hand clutch for the pto great for when you plug the baler lol

I’m thinking Rob is 36 & an absolute asset to have on the farm. Was 95% yesterday up in London with my nephews.

Great job on 1690 Olly. Was talking about you with Jamie last night. 80% today

Great video as always

Loving the engine rebuild. 90%

Great video lads love a good engineering job in workshop

Rob I reckon is 37, I'm feeling 80% today, got soaked putting part of my shed up, but glad to see it coming together! (my shed your engine) 😁

Rob is a great guy to have on the farm, able to turn his hand to anything. I think he may be 32 ??? Fitted the rigid tow hitch to my Disco 5 it was a bit bulky and expensive (£900)! but, touch wood, never an issue. Really enjoyed the engine rebuild today. 80% today.

89% today. We had the grandkids sleep over last night and the the whole came round for an evening meal to night 😊

I had a great time seeing you all today and am a 85%

id say rob is 35 if im right can i get a class bib lol , good seeing the david brown getting builded

If dip the copper washer in ep2 grease it stick to the bottom of the injector and burn off when the engine gets hot

Great to see it going back together olly, Rob is 40, 38 tinder , 36 grinder, perhaps your do a "will it Start" separate video.

40% , life is hard at the moment but we keep ploughing though hopeful the sun will shine for us all

Tip for injector washers use a small amount of grease to hold them on during fitting

90% managed to get my new roof tent fitted to my car but haven't managed to get out in it yet looking forward to the cambrian rally next weekend you can't miss that it's close enough

Is Rob 33? He certainly is an asset to your farm 👌

Great vid as always. I’m feeling 89% today 👍a bit jaded after my first day as shoot captain.🍻🍺

80% You two make a good team

Great content

89% watching a rebuild life into an awesome engine!!

you got a good team Olly!!

I'm only about 50% today. Bulged disc in the back coupled with sciatica pain down the left leg will do that for you 😅. But I've been starting my day by watching your blog which brightens the mood 💪

As always love this ❤❤❤❤❤

You are very lucky Olly to have a Rob... they are like Hens Teeth...

88%. Vacuumed some leaves on the lawn today.

Great job today feeling 90 %

Good engine build video. 95%. Got new specs!

Rob is 29 is my guess. Good to see 'Copaslip' or similar, I've never assembled anything without it - just makes life easier in future.

Great video the daily videos are amazing Olly sorry i was late just got to my holiday house and had no wifi keep up the great work.👍❤️

Stick the copper washer on injector with a little smear of grease easy peasy. Grip thread of studs with a wooden clothes peg and squeeze the peg in the vice to prevent damaging the thread. Enjoy the 40th Birthday party, have a few sherberts.

Engine rebuild is quite good because we see a job yo do through to the end

Nice engine 😁 Was about 50% this morning but went upto 95% after a day of tree surgery.

Never rebuilt a diesel lump so can't comment on the smell! Brings back happy memories of rebuilding my rally car engines though! 65% today, bit of an improvement in covid again

Tappet setting a heart in itself getting them right

Hey ollie, just from previous experience with cleaning carbon buildup off engine components oven cleaner works amazing it seems to be really good at breaking down any carbon bonds but leaving the component without any damage and looking like new, it can need a few coats tho, just when you're using it wear gloves as it strips your skin off your fingers if your rub the gunk off with bare hands. just thought I'd let you know about it you may have something that works better, and I'm 92% today just started the final year of high school so a bit stressed but good to see your video and hope you're having a great day.

A little bit of grease on the copper washer will hold it on Injector as you put it in. Oh and for the turbo side to side movement can be normal. It the in and out movement you have to worry about. Put as always great vids 👌🏼

90% weather pants but its the weekend

All tools are a hammer 🔨 unless it's a screwdriver 🪛 and then it's a chisel 😎🤣. You've got some proper good mechanics on the team between Rob, Andy and yourself. I think the new shed should be used as a bigger workshop 🤣👍

Tip for putting in injectors is put some grease on the bottom where the copper washer sits then the washer then when u put it in the washer stays on injector

85% - tired but had a good day at the Pumpkin House in Norfolk - ended up stewarding the car park as wife’s family’s diversification. Hundreds of people! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

I'm 90% Rob has gotta be 30. My parts washer is an old dish washer works great 👍 great videos Olly nice one 👌

80 percent and my Discovery’s on its fourth towbar and second engine but Landrover covered it all under warranty 👍🇬🇧

On the injector washers use a little bit of copper slip to hold them in place they don’t fall off then !!

Watching the engine rebuild is great!! Im about 35% today!! (I have ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) I dont even get up as far as 50% .

67% was my birthday and working lol

85% today Olly. Had a good day, went for a really nice walk round Worsley & United played well against Chelsea just couldn’t finish chances yet again. Finished off with an engine rebuild video which was a bit nostalgic even though I’m only 29. I remember rebuilding my 1.6 Rallye engine for my Peugeot 106 when I was 20 including tappet adjustment with feeler gauges & having to weld a bolt to a stud we snapped in the head to get it out 😆

80%, got an unexpected opportunity to visit our local air ambulance base this morning.

Facinating content guys; I’m 75% today

Good video 👍. 90%

Only 20% today, had to have our 17 year old West Highland White put to sleep, and it was a difficult decision to make

Just taken the engine out of my Massey 2135 ( 135 industrial ) and she’s off the the machine shop for head and block resurfacing, new valve seats, liners and a wash, in the meantime I have a starter, dyno and injector to rebuild

Been wet here all day so 70%. Be better putting the fuel pipe on first before the manifold bit of a pain to route with it on.

Re the injector washers, stick them to the injector with grease. 75% today, recovering from man flu.

The workshop tidyness makes my head go funny 😂

Hi Olly just wanted to say that for the time and money gone in to the David brown you should get the turbo done before you get it working because it would ruin it if not
