I really appreciate you “revisiting” topics like this using the better quality video. Thanks John!
Thanks a million John. I learn a ton in every video. Nothing can beat your years of experience and wisdom.
Thank you for taking the time to revisit some of your earlier videos. The sound and video quality are a huge improvement and I appreciate the
Excellent instructional video!!!

The most important part of knowing how, is knowing why... I really like the revamp of the old video.
Great video John. This helped explain how to adjust the valves on my 1966 Lotus Super 7. I couldn't figure out the two open valve thing, but this explains it, and I could have done it in half the time, instead of doing one valve, then rotating engine. Also, learned the bump starter trick instead of manually turning engine at fan pulley. I should go back and grease the gasket though, as mentioned at the end. I think I saw you awhile back at a Kingston, Ontario MG rally in the early '80's.
This was a great refresher before doing this on my B GT. Thanks again John T!
Excellent presentation.
Outstanding video and presentation.
Thanks a lot John, I didn't get it the first time but I did what you said and now I do.
Thank you very much, I am learning a lot.
Good on ya mate, learnt so much from your videos. 👍
Super helpful John
Thank you John
Nice short video. Glad to see you getting your hands greasy. Looking forward to you next video. Cheers
I have managed to keep track of the hand crank for my MGA, and this makes it super easy to rotate the crankshaft exactly 180 degrees to go to the next pair of valves to adjust. No need to do the bump with the starter motor. If you put a B engine into your A whose bodywork permits use of the crank, be sure to bring along the A's bolt that matches the hand crank.
What a mine of knowledge you are, used your videos on a rebuild of a 1967 MGB. Just got her back for a retune and check up, she starts a bit hard when cold but the carbs are worn-out. Due to the exchange rate parts are prohibitively expensive for us in South Africa. Unfortunately we have lost the art of repairing SU carbs, got to send them to the UK or US to have done properly.
Absolutely amazing I heard in a video you get down to London Ontario it's 2021 July anytime in the near future
This man does not age.
