Video

Great video, but the music sucked so bad i had to stop watching. Jesus.

Good effort. Usually with an A series it’s a crank re grind and new set of rings. And of course the valves. I wish that the modern engines were so simple to work on , but there again were now having 100 bhp plus from a 1000cc engine and 65 mpg so I guess we can’t have it always. 3 main bearings were never enough. Oil Filter assembly genuine to the minor ?

Fantastic video , thank you very much. At the moment I have my 1275 out my Sprite and partially stripped but yesterday my 1098 Minor didn't sound so good and has a bit of mayo inside the rocker cover. A head gasket kit arrives tomorrow.

What a superb job you did on this. If a customer came to you for this same job, how much would it cost?

Brilliant video man, you made it look so easy! With all the bodgery in the car world you’re lucky to be one of those guys that knows how to do the job right!

one doesn't put stupid music on instructional video. So bloody irritating. good job on restoration by the way.

Speed reading is not my fortè. Is there any chance, next time, to keep your words up a tibbit longer .. please?

Great job sounds great how much would you charge to do the same to my minor engine 👍👍👍

Just for info have you watched my video "Morris Minor. A Series Engine. 1275cc Americana Cylinder Head." Cheers from old George 😂

super job

Oil gallery plugs removed for cleaning & cleaning wire brushing ALL passages? Oil pump disassembled & deburred & light smear of grease for priming? Front pully in cover to make sure it's centered before tightening it? Clean out the rocker shaft? Relief valve smooth & free? Won't scratch gouge burr the ring lands if you use a pretty cheap tool. DO NOT us an old ring to clean, you WILL gouge the lands. Thanks.

thanks

I hope you used a quality modern oil. The sludge in the sump was due to using low detergent oil, this crap settles in the crankshaft oilways as well as the bottom of the pan.

Don't forget the block-tohead rubber water hose. My Dad (fitter but not mechanic), did a top overhaul but forgot that pesky hose. Final step was to fill radiator and of course water poured out! Everything off again.

Excellent!

Why not remove the music and explain what you are doing ?

Well done young man, excellent to see a young enthusiast carrying on looking after these vehicles, We oldies are getting thinner on the ground , keep up your enthusiasm . 👍👍👌👌

Excellent job mate, looks and sounds amazing. Hopefully you’re very proud of yourself. A series engines are a fun engine to rebuild, it’s all very agricultural and would advise anybody to do their first rebuild on one of these. Now after most of a year, how’s it running now?

great to watch Thank you

Thank you for sharing this very interesting video with us

Did you hone the cylinders?

HI Kyle. would you be prepaired to do my engine ..all my body has been totaly restored.And I would love to have the engin done as like yours.many thanks Denis

is it for sale

Fantastic video and content, thanks for sharing.

Great video and congratulations on your new car & engine 👍

Nice job 👍.pity about the music 🎵

Great video and process. Can't believe it didn't need boring and crank grinding. The pistons appeared to be low compression dished jobs like they used in vans and pickups. I'm a van and sedan owner.

What is the socket handle you used, the reddish one, how long is it, is it a ratchet one?

Hello Kyle. Do you have video for the clutch assembly? I watched your video on A series e/e rebuilding. Did you paint the e/e by aerosol spray can or with brush? Nicely done video. Thank you.

Hello Kyle How to adjust the end float on a crankshaft? Do you have video on this? Or any procedure? I am new to all these mech terms. I do have a old e/e and I am dismantling stage by stage and just knowing and studying. Did you do your automobile course, as you are able to do the job by yourself. I also noticed, that you had not used a piston ring pliers to install the piston rings. Please advice me on my questions how to go ahead. The other thing I want to know is, you used a socket wrench to remove/tighten the crankshaft sprocket hex nut, I do have the socket but I do not have a long handle, what size do I have to buy one. Did you also change the thrust bearings on crankshaft or used the old ones?

Hello Kyle. I watched your rebuilding on the engine. I have questions/clarification. When you tightened the main bearing bolts, you tightened 2-3 times. What's the reason. Is one tightening not enough, or I have to tighten them more?

Great job, and a very sweet sounding result👍👍👍

Great video. Thanks for the nostalgic memories!

Great video! This is very helpful to a "mere mortal" like me who isn't a trained motor mechanic. A lot of information shown hear would be helpful to anyone working on a classic Mini other than the transmission in the sump found on the transverse mounted engine.

Great job man! Both building the engine as well as recording the process 👍🏻

Well done. Takes me back to my days at an MG specialist working on these little MOWOGs and their bigger B Series brethren…was enjoying watching you work…

sounds like alan watts. peace

Nicely done pal, takes me back to simpler times, I could smell the old oil as the sump came off

Very well done video. Great guide to rebuilding engines over here in sunny Sri Lanka. Keep posting more videos.

Damn

Beautifully done with a good gentle touch throughout, Master Mechanic!

Excellent video - well produced and informative. Thank you.

Removed the engine from one of my Bugeyes just yesterday. Funny, some of the tools, valve lapper, spring compressor, I've been seeing in my dad's shop my whole life and never knew what they were for.

Disappointed that no oil was applied to the Big end & main bearings prior to putting the crankshaft in place. Also standard practice to use oil can to squirt oil into oil feeds to all bearings

Good job. Well done. Nice to see a decent lad doing a good hobby.

You skipped the bits I needed to see haha fml

Hi Kyle, do you have such a great video from the gearbox rebuilding too?

Great video mate! Props on Fat Freddy's Drop

what's the largest cc can a moggy be bored out too?

hi, can you write me your email?
