Starting the Volvo Penta TMD100A's for the 1st time in 7 years! 

Thanks Benji 👍

Thanks Paul, haha yes there mighty alright, the neighbour 2 doors down said he could feel them through his sofa 😂

They have Turbo’s, I just took them off to run them up. A lot has happened in the last couple of years, so I haven’t had a chance to get back to this as I now have nowhere to work on them. But hopefully in time I’ll be back back at it

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 Ah ! That explains it !,,, We were based in the North East of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and were Volvo Penta agents from mid 70s through to end of 90s . We supplied and overhauled ( complete rebuilds ) from MD 40 s right up to 162 s . Fantastic engines with excellent reliability . Happy Days

@@dfluke3698 wow very good, there would have been a demand for that kind of work up there. I live beside Edinburgh now, it took us over a year to find a house! huge demand down here for housing and very expensive, although its starting to quiet down a little now. Hopefully if I can get access to the back garden and build a workshop I can get back to the warden engines 😊

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 So how did you get involved with Volvo Penta ? I live in Coldstream .I worked a lot on the pilot boats in Orkney .

😂 There’s no Turbos fitted so unlikely to run on unless the valve stem seals where completely shot maybe, yeah 50 litres would make some smoke 😂 id have to destroy the carbon monoxide detector

Thanks Mickey 😂 yeah

😂 yes actually I have an oil pump but pouring is faster, maybe there’s a better product

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 nice! Yah, 10-40 is slow to pump. Need a larger pump for that stuff. 🍻

Thanks Stewart, itl be awhile before we really get into everything, hopefully boat will be moved to where we can work on it in June

Cool what are they in? They sound awesome, I can’t wait to get them restored

@@pilotboatrestoration1770 Well 2 of them have been in Brøyt Faceshovels i have an Brøyt X41 1984 mod that originaly had the TD100G in it and i must say the sound in the Gs are the coolest ones🤩 but that engine got overheated and scored due to old bearings in the waterpump so then i bougth overhaulig kit for the engine and started overhauling it but then i just saw how much work and time and money it took so it sat it aside so then i bougth 2 engines one form a Volvo F10 TD100A and 1 from a old Volvo buss THD100B both where part engines cuz the plan was too make 1 out off em but then i deiceded too buy another engine i knew of that had been in a Brøyt X50 TD100A 1980 mod so i picked up all the 3 engines at the same time and im now making the X50 engine ready too put it in the X41 but then i also got a deal that was too good too let go so i bougth another TD100A 😂😂😂 that i havent picked up yet so im pretty addicted to TD100 Engines 😂😂😂😂
