Jaguar XK 150 Engine on the Chassis & Release Bearing set up. 

Thanks for the shoutout Dave, that was a very kind move. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the XK150s on the road.

Those locking pliers were one of the first specialist tools I bought, Dave. They were (at the time) a little bit expensive (for me) but needed them to secure the bolts on my rear calipers on my XJ6....funnily enough when I was younger we used rather bigger ones to secure the tops of potato bags down on the farm when we had finished removing all the stones and rotten 'Tatties'. Also good to see Amir wearing one of Martin's T shirts..

Hi Dave, thanks for the shoutout to my sons channel I found it interesting that jag used a taper pin to hold that clutch fork as triumph also used one and i have had trouble with the pin breaking . I now drill and add a bolt and nut to give a bit more strength. Glad to see you are running those motors, even a perfect job can show up a problem that can only be found when it is run up. That tool for thread repair looks handy do you know who makes it. Thanks Mike

Dave you are dead right about grease in blind holes but the problem with ‘smaller’ stuff (as opposed to oil industry) is less of locking hydraulically than cracking castings via the developed hydraulic pressure.

Was me who won the tee shirt for getting the tool right Dave. I'm in the UK near Southampton though thanks Tim.

A right pain Dave having different threads .

Thanks for the shout out dave and glad you can see my improvements. Btw I would never have guessed that tool, but what a clever little thing it is

Have you been boxing training to keep in shape 🥊🤪 that thread cleaning tool looks useful, should come with tap and die sets, another interesting vid 👍

Dave... bud... if you put your finger into your other hand like that one more time i was gonna wet myself.... honest tae god man, if we worked together we'd get nothin done for you slappin me, lol. i do have to say it's so sad that you don't trust them motors after all the drama, but like you said best to find out now, neighbor bought a 500 grand silage chopper only to have the motor detonate in the first field and when they dropped the oil pan they found an adjustable wrench in a dozen pieces (along with piston parts) so fingers crossed, cheers guys.
