650cc kit, polish crank, new rear bearing, full send 😊
That's a 3CV, the upgrade of the 2cv
Gotta love a video that ends with “There’s a lot of crap in this engine’!
no no.. it was Crab... remember its Seaside Garage...
@@SeasideGarage Crab á la huile moteur, this should be the seafood garage.
Indeed. As I recall, the English saying is to "pour oil on troubled waters". Been looking forward to this.😁
I want smella-youtube! Seing you take a wiff of every component makes me wonder how it smells 😂
Haha... Yea the smell is pretty hard to explain!
they'll make you smell ads in due time
Fyi.
It's looks like a new crankshaft is between 650 to 900 euros.
Have not been able to find one in Denmark.
A reconditioned engine from Burton is 2395 euros for a 602 Cc, and 2550 euros for a 652 cc.
Keep up the good work😂.
konradgroenbech...if he comes over to England there's a complete engine for 350 about 380 Euros...a part engine for less than 100...or a crankshaft in reasonable condition for 80...i think i'd grab the crank if i was him...could fly over in a day...put in a bag and fly back...nothing to declare...haha
@markianclark9645 hi Mark
It sounds like a brilliant idea.
I think I'll do that when I'm going to overhaul my engine.
Save money and have a holiday in UK at the same time. Love UK and the people there.
Consider that an old Mehari is only going to be driven a few kilometres per year. I would be inclined to do the minimum work on this engine. A future owner can upgrade later if he has money to burn.
Price up a rear crankshaft bearing & new small end bearings. Look for a discarded cylinder in usable condition. Then reassemble with new seals and see how it goes. ☮️
I am sure that many of these rugged engines ran for years with imperfect cylinders in rural France.
The Mehari is light weight and not a racing car, so this engine might last for years with just rehoning of the scored barrel. 🤔
My first car in 1997 was a bamboo green Citroen 2CV before I took on my fathers Volvo 740GL estate.
The 2CV was such fun to drive, even though it was underpowered, it brought so much joy to other people. Thankyou for the breakdown of the 602cc engine.
I recently found your channel and been watching all the videos since. Keep up amazing work and hope the channel keeps growing. Also, hello from Finland 😊
A few years ago I saw on of the steel-body Meharis in the parking lot of a Home Despot in the SanFrancisco Bay Area. They were made in Cyprus, if I recall correctly.
I am looking forward to seeing this finished!!! Do not rush it. This should be a nice one. I know you want it quickly, if you do I am going to hide all of your coffee!
Thank you for showing this tear down. I've seen diagrams and animations of how the 2cv engine operated, but seeing it in real form was very nice. Being in the states this wouldn't be something I would have seen any other way.
Much as I'm partial to a nice 928, got to agree with the others that yours was by far the best at both shows.
Terrific video. Thank you for sharing. It's a strange little engine. Very Citroen!!!
Tak for endnu en spændende video, jeg bemærkede du lugtede til de dele du afmontere og tænkte nok de lugtede brændt som du så sagde tilsidst. Det vil være spændende hvis du fortæller prisen på af renovere denne motor kontra en ny brugt.
Excellent video
I'm restoring an Acadine with a stuck engine, I'll swap the engine form a Visa (652cc), including electric ignition 🥖🍷
Swap with a Visa engine is not so easy, need the machining from the flywheel to work properly ...original ignition was fully electronic with a sensor on the flywheel, but it's better to install a specific kit for 2cv but with a specific adapter for the electronic system in front (behind the vent, need to drilll 2 fixing holes + cut the thread)
Shame not to have a go at rebuilding an old engine though.....
it might end up with a rebuild of another engine though :)
Cordless impact driver on rusty bolts can often shock them loose
I think that engine could be rebuilt, but, if it smells like it got cooked at some point then there could be issues with warped barrels too, so, probably better for a later project with rebuitling it into a 652cc uprated engine at somepoint in the future... :)
How easy is the 2CV engine is to pull apart this was a part of the philosophy from Citroen when they designed it to be simple and easy to repair l do watch Hubnut as you know he has a 2CV and l saw him change the engine in a couple of hours needed no engine hoist he just did it all by himself
i was doing a rework on a 2vc, and find that 2 botators were lost, project on stand by, i just begin with a 3cv... regards from patagonia Argentina.
Has this engine been stored on the ocean floor?
Someboby use the 1050 from Ami8 and GS
A bit more power...
Do not remember how they did it - but they did it in the 80ties where I was working in a dealership..
This video makes me want to overhaul my 2cv engine.
It has a knocking sound when it is hot. Believe it's the crankshaft bearings.
Do you have any experience with knocking sounds?
It's always nice when you are uploading.
It could very well be rod knock... I experienced that before.
@@SeasideGarage
Mange tak. Thanks for the reply.
8:44 It does not look that bad... I would get a complete new seal kit for the engine and that looks like all it needs. I have not seen the ware on the bearings yet! I am sure as always I am speaking too soon! Again. I know that is why you love me... 😂
Yep, should have watched the whole video. Mind you would it be that bad to send it as it is, with a new bearing kit?
Hi, how many miles/Km had it done?
Wasn't taken care of that's for sure!
What kind of monster undoes rusty bolts without spraying them down with WD40 first?
👍🔧
Du skal give boltene lidt w40, ikke bare stoppe topnøglen i motorolie.. 😂
How will you know 4sure if another engine won't be just as bad?
I would just bite the bullit and buy a new crank, bearings, rods pistons and rings an just build your own known good engine. That way you are sure that you will have a good engine and it will 4sure add good value to the car.
I wont, but chances are good if they are not stuck... engines are very cheap and often free... rebuilding this could be at least 1000euros in parts... more likely 1500 and if i'm not careful I can quickly end up using what the car is worth and I cant afford that..

Hmmm 🤔 why do Danes keep their Mayo in an engines ? Can’t be very convenient every time you want some on your French fries 🍟, keep mine in refrigerator in a dispenser and lasts for ages Seppo , longer than your engine sometimes 😁😉👌🏻.
You should see inside my Rover Metro GTI engine... haha!
@@SeasideGarage Oh I had heard the Metro’s engines are the perfect place to store Mayo 😂👍🏻.
Put a BMW bike engine in it. 😁
Worlds fastest bathtub 🎉
This reminded me about when I stood in a snow drift replacing pistons and valves on my 2CV4!
