Russ Carpenter : Daimler 2.5 V8 

i had a 1968 mk 2 daimler v8 = just loved it and played mechanic with it and always a great sound and a real fast car !

A rare Gem. It is so hard to find people like him anymore, who have this wealth of information. You must do more videos. I am looking to buy a Daimler V8 saloon, and would love to hear more of Russ, talking about different parts of this beautiful engine.

I bought a project 1964 250 on a whim. Really need more vids like this😂

Thank you Russ! I imagine you saved me hours trying to get those carbs set. My wife and I have been restoring our sp250 for about five years. We can't wait to hear it run again.

Thanks for the video, very knowledgeable guy 😃

What an amazing video, I have a Daimler 250 engine in a kit car Cobra, I may have to follow your steps to see if my engine is running correct.

I had a 1965 Daimler V8 250, the Jaguar Mk2 version. Beautiful old thing! Miss it.

I think every car should have an SU.

Thanks for posting Russ. Very well explained. I will follow your instructions. What sort of engine oil would you recommend on an original 250V8 that has done around 54,000 miles?

Were the pistons the same as a certain old brand motorbike piston?

do they make a 4 barrel inlet manifold that fits these?
