Clicked just because of Edd. Probably the only tech in the world I would give my car :D
Well you must have low standards...
@@MasterChief-sl9ro edd is more of an engineer tbf BUT id say it's a safe bet he's forgot more than you know about cars...
@@MasterChief-sl9ro and you have a low iq.
@@rustywrench500 I don't think that's fair. Everyone learns differently, someone like Scotty Kilmer is gonna appeal to some people and not others and Edd/Ant will have different appeals to some people too, of course there is an objective right way to do things and explain things, but I've noticed that on the internet at least, mechanical methodology is largely subjective among the huge demographic interested in teardowns.
@@skippy1239 your opinion.
We like Edd.
I could watch Edd all day long. He was the most interesting part of the show.
Edd , you have a god-given talent. You're the BEST.
I'm sure Buick never dreamed that their aluminum V8 would live on for 40+ years
Ah, but Rover made it of aluminium, that's the secret!
@@984francis It's the extra "i" in aluminum that made all the difference...
@@984francis It was aluminium from Buick --- just too expensive in US heavy cars, and made no difference in weight, too expensive compared to other manufacturers
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_V8_engine
@@984francis It is based of the Buick all aluminum 215 V8. The later Buick "small block" (for lack of a better word) is indeed iron but is not the same motor, but similar.
@@984francis Marvel's hero it's not called Aluminum Man without a reason. The truth is that Rover block sucks. Any day I will pick up Buick 350 over Rover 4.6 there's plenty of aftermarket parts. You can buy aluminum heads and multiport fuel injection for the SBB 350 and bolt it to a 200R4 or a manual T5.
Naah Mike, I would click that subscribe button but Edd's not even on the show anymore.
Edd, you have a god-given talent. You're the BEST.....
Hope Edd China gets paid for This! Can't beat him! Come back
You cant beat the burble from a fully loaded rover V8 😎👍
Many thanks for all the shows guys , great entertainment & d.i.y. knowledge also , keep ' em coming !
They should have never let edd go. The show was so much better with him. Haven't watched the show since he left.
Then how do you know it was better with him?
@@durksam Because after seeing new episodes with the new tech, its pretty obvious that edd was better tech and host for the show. Nobody tunes in to watch mike.
Edd is a master mechanic, he knows everything he's doing he doesn't just guess like other show mechanics.
ahhh - back when the show was good. Miss you Edd
Before this V8 was a Rover engine, it was a Buick engine, and still retains the BOP bellhousing pattern for transmissions. Transplanting a 5.7 Olds diesel...rebuilt with ARP studs and fasteners and NO torque to yield "stretch" bolts to insure reliability... would make a cheap but efficient powerplant ideal for a 4x4.
Lol nice. I previously heard of a possibility of swapping a Buick 3800 engine (supercharged) in a Discovery V8. It's to achieve the same goal, improved reliability.
Olds diesels blew up all the time...converted gas 350... cranks broke often...
What's with everyone complaining about this guy? He did a good job in this video?
WOW, that old cam was really worn. Can only see that by either side by side with a new cam, or measuring the lobes. Thumbs Up!
One should always replace the lifters on a flat tappet cam. They and the cam have mated to each other and cant be interchanged in other bores or with other cams.
I found that odd as well. I haven't seen a replacement cam that didn't come with lifters. Pushrods don't transfer over as a general rule.
God, wheeler dealer screwed up. Thank you Ed, you're helping me rebuild my P38.
Saludos soy fan de tu trabajo ,,,,. Like You work un the trok
Why would you use an ex presenter to promote the channel?
Whats up with the new 1?
Edd has alway anchored the show. It was a stupid move to allow him to part ways. The new guys is good but nothing like Edd
1bikesale precisely why I always thought the show was headed in the wrong direction when Discovery took over the show. It went from a car guys show to another Hollywood show with drummed up drama smh
@@kenxiong6830 I have watched every episode and I never saw any drama at all. Its is pretty much the same formula. Ant does a fine job.
@1bikesale Ant was a Police Officer in the UK. He retired to make a career out of car building. Yes he has made works of art like sculptures but I don't think that makes him less of a car builder.
Edd left so new guy took over..edd tried to set up his own show but ratings were low .new wheeler dealers ratings were low so the only way to get ratings back on top is to get edd back..edd doesnt look too happy hes back but has no choice as bills need to get paid.simple as that
Completely dismantling involved more than taking the cam out when I did my training.
Bring Back Ed,!!!!!!!!! Wheeler dealers the revival)))))
1973 Oldsmobile Rocket 350 v8, replaced cam, lifters and pushrods after pushrod fell into oil pain.....oiling was so bad in those engines, one of the cam's intake lobes had completely rounded...engine was only running on 7 cyls.
Bring edd back please
like to see edd back
move sky me too...
@@MatDek88 like way show how to repair car work
Bring Ed back!!
How is this completely dismantling a Land Rover V8 engine?
Did Ed touch the coil lead???🤣
Edd is king
My favourite episode, love the stripped out engine
Always wondered why Oldmobile sold the rights for that engine .
So now im just going to sit here and adphyxiate to death
Did you need to prime the pump?
Always prime the oil pump to 30-40 psi after rebuild........
I use to do it with a slotted 14mm threaded rod driven from cordless drill
But later serpentine front end Gems & Thor 4.0 4.6 this is not possible 🙃
hello, hello ... while a video with a Renault Laguna 2 ..? you are very strong .. Bravo.👍👍👍
That engine started out as the 215 cu. in. buick v-8 in like 1962.
I enjoyed watching it, but I wonder how many horses have increased after this modification
Bring back Ed
He could’ve just changed the intake manifold and tuned the carb a bit and made more than 20 hp...
This vehicle is for sale in my local area. It’s quite rusty now 10 years on!
WD without Edd is grabage, exactly like Top Gear is NOTHING without the trio Clarkson, Hammond and May! Amen
these short pieces of shows are stupid its about time you put the whole show online
Is it a 3.5cc or 4.5cc?
Beautiful!
This Land Rover was made back when they were made with quality and were made to last. Today you lease them, you never buy one or god forbid you buy a used one unless you want an money pit after 5 years.
Bring back Ed China; no need to ask to subscribe.
Edd is a Godd among Menn.
In 15 years this will be like "how to shoe a horse".
Megustan esos tutoriales pero no entiendo ese idioma desde corinto Colombia
No subscribing without Edd
Muy bueno. Lo necesito. En.español. Gracias
¿Cual es tu proyecto y cuál duda tienes?
and the wild thing is....it's a Buick engine sold to Rover
& originally, a Chev engine ;)
Edd returned ??? Cool!!! When did he come back?
No
Part ?
Rather put it in a 5 cylinder 2005 s60 which makes 190hp stock. So would be nice to get extra 20hp
190 hp @ 6000 rpm and on the low rpms it makes 50% of the V8 power or torque. Good engine for a passanger car but not here.
Lumps on a metal stick....a truly eloquent way of describing a camshaft.....
That asthmatic v8 would be lucky to pump out 150 hp
Edd not ant son
Never install a new cam on old lifters....cam won't last long.......or have the old lifters resurfaced.......
He did not preload the tappets with shims !!!!! Big fail thought he was a mechanic!!?
You only need shims if they're out (my TVR engine has no shims under the pedestals), but you're right he didn't check them. It's one of those weird ones. It's not "correct" to ignore it, but a lot of people do, and get away with it. Also the official engine manual from Rover doesn't mention even checking the preload, and if you use shims to do it rather than fitting (expensive) adjustable pushrods, you will never get all 16 right anyway.
Edd un mito. E' unico
that engine is from the mesozoic period
no valve adjustment?
Hydraulic.
Only watching edd videos
Haven’t watched since Edd left. Hate the new WD.
The sad part is the Buick aluminum V8 was the best small V8 ever produced, and the main idiots at GM sold it to Rover and Rover degraded it over the years until they turned it into total rubbish, plagued with engineering snafus galore! The Buick and early Rover's were the best, the late Rover V8's were termed by a rep as "fragile engines" Sda cuz this little engine was truly amazing!
Ese motor es original de ese vehiculo
Upload at least some Complete episodes with Edd not these Video clips
Hi Ed why are you putting push rods in cardboard when you have renewed all hydraulic lifters and cam , surely every thing is different now !!
Cast iron? Not in the real sense of the word. A casting of steel alloy, no doubt.
Cast Iron is an alloy. The name is confusing...
@@timothylanders3189 I don't remember what I was thinking at the time. I'm agreeing that cast iron is an alloy. Who knows what I was thinking? Probably had one too many Martinis. Do you have a clue?
@@alext8828 Haha, no. Brain fart? 😂
@@timothylanders3189 This one's for you....
Edd is God. End of
Could do with a edelbrock 4 barrel carb a coolent flust and oil change
Well that’s an interesting “fact “GM cast the block with the liners in place , while Rover fitted after casting so this method resulted in a more reliable engine, in fact a great engine!
Should have replaced the pushrods as well, they are cheap and can have wear on either end that is not helpful.
You should never put used lifters on a new cam . You can regrind the face and reuse if you can find a machinist that knows how .
Arived 1 Edd the king of engineering😉😉😉😉🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
You can't get a 20bhp increase with just a higher lift cam'.
If Ed didn't back why you published this video?
That doesn't make sense. That isn't proper English
I've subscribed but all I get are ads and half Wheeler dealers..are you having a laugh?
Would have gained far more power with a 4bbl carburetor.
How does fitting something to increase flow improve performance on an engine with a worn cam which by virtue of low lift and shorter duration is not flowing sufficiently in the first place? it won't make a bit of difference and would almost certainly cause bogging and pooling in the manifold. Anyway that 2 barrel Holley is enough for that low compression 3.5 litre,with the less than ideal ports these heads have,not to mention that that Edelbrock manifold and the factory bog iron exhaust manifolds are dire, I would be more concerned with getting the fundamentals correct first. I ran a 390 4 barrel with vac secondaries on a 3.9 litre,10.1:1 cr RV8 with big valve heads, cam,manifolds etc. For years,it was more than adequate.
Got a Holley akready
Made near on no profit on this vehicle. If the labour time was added in. A massive loss.
Really not a good idea for a 4x4 you want to keep the troque band as low as possible lol
Or, to get more power from it, you could add what it was designed to have... by GM: A turbocharger! ;)
Should've swapped in an Edelbrock Performer manifold while you're at it, Edd... to help maximize the low-end torque that high-lift cam is going to produce, and that heavy "Landy" is gonna need!
No, wait... that thing's topped with an Offy 360? Never-mind...! ;)
Di tunggu subtitel bahasa indonesia nya ?
Gassed himself to death in his garage
I wish I could type in a British accent
Edd!!!! STOP!!! Drop an lt5 in that hole!!?!!!! just sayin
170hp and 15mpg (probably)....yuck
Like Ant, Loved Edd.... Ant is too much of an actor - tries too hard. Edd was the real deal mechanic and is missed.... Where's his new show though?????
It might be a good idea to mention ventilation, if you're going to sit in the car for half an hour in a closed garage. Perhaps the need for care is so second-nature to Edd that he didn't feel it was necessary?
Old lifters n push rods with a new camshaft, really???
On a scale of 1 to fired?
Yr lips and hair look the same
Sad,a 3 cylinder motor bike makes more hp than this v8. Lmao
Yeah but it wouldn't make the same amount of torque. And it won't get peak torque at low revs.
You need that for offroading. It's a 4x4 truck not a bike.
This engine may be the worst v8 ever
Nah that is probably the Northstar or the Ford 5.4
*Worst V8 in History*
7. Oldsmobile 5.7 Diesel
6. 1970 Triumph
5. 1980-1981 Ford 4.2
4. 1976-1992 Chevy 305 H.0
3. 1981 Cadillac 8-6-4
2. 1979-1981 GM 267
1. 1977 Pontiac 400 / 6.6
Nothing about cam timing? Not very educational really.
