Sunny Ireland 😂🤣😂🤣💦🌧🌨💧💨🌬☂️☔️⚡️
Hi Cole, thanks for that really interesting explanation on the blocks and gearbox story. I fitted a complete MG1100 engine and gearbox to my ‘63 mini 850 (back in 1971) and it made it a much nicer ride as my first daily as a teenager. Bless you buddy and live long and prosper 🖖
Did much the same about the same time to my 1962 Mini, 1098, 12G295 head, Duplex timing gears,1 1/2" SU, 3.44 final drive. Still have the car, 1275 in it now, although the 1098 is still fine.
@@Radfordperson wow Rad, I wish I still had mine to play with! How have you managed to keep it over the last fifty years?
@@philtucker1224 I'm a bit of a hoarder! Have a 1969 Riley Elf Auto and a 1969 Mini 1000 too. The Mini 1000 engine is converted to 998 Cooper spec. and dry suspension.
@@Radfordperson very very nice! (My first car was the mini and my second car was a bubble -arch Escort 1600) I was still a teenager then and since marrying in 76 we’ve done quite a few house moves so didn’t really have much opportunity to own more than one car at a time..I would love to get them back though! Kind regards buddy.🙏
@@philtucker1224 Yes, the house moves were probably prohibitive. During WW2 the house that was here was bombed, when Dad came out of the Royal Engineers he bought the bombed site and built a good sized detached house with a large garage and much parking. I own the house now that parents have long passed, and my cars have nearly always been here. My first car was an Isetta. Best regards.
Cole, I'm sure you're correct:
There will always be some who think who know better and insert their own reality...
Very cool. Gives me confidence that all our crusty blocks, heads and rocker assemblies are salvageable
It's actually pretty wild what can be fixed up and restored. Living in the USA we don't have as much access to new parts so repairing and refurbishing is usually the route we have to take.
its awesome to see you and paul to work togehter. you both togehter have a huge amount of quality together and could is say absolute professional work. love to see more colaboration
Thanks so much! Paul is such good people and I couldn't think of anyone better to collaborate with on this project.
The spring locating ring is a genuine Cooper S item and is a separate part
There's so little information on CZcams about Cooper S's and its Good to see you delving into the detail. You can't go into to much detail either because people interested will watch! Me being one 🤣
Oh yeah man, I gotta get into all the details if its gonna be done right! I will have a special cut just for you where I talk for 2 hours about bolt sizes and casting differences 🤣
@@classicminidiy I'll listen 😂 your 1% time watched duration will be me when everyone else leaves
Cool you did a shoutout to Hickey - my favorite mini channel besides yours.
I love Paul! He is a seriously good person. He and I usually have a monthly live stream we do together (a bit behind on them right now) and we chat almost every day about something or other! He makes some really great and detailed content that's for sure!
So one of the heads has the spacers between the bottom of the spring and the top of the cylinder head and the other one does not. That is why that one cylinder head just has a flat surface where the springs go.
What are the purpose of the spacers? To increase preload on the inner springs?
@@classicminidiy I believe they center the springs.
Part AEA403 is indicated for 998 Cooper, but my late '64 1275 S also had them fitted. Originally intended to stop the inner springs wandering around at high revs. New spring technology obviates their use.
😎👍
First from the PNW Seattle area.😁
That bearing tool puller looks awfully useful
Hi Cole ,I saw one head that on the top, it looks like the casting holes were brazed closed, is this the same for the other one. it is very unusual.
I agree very interesting details. I think this was common on the early heads but later heads less so. I don't know for sure, more googling and reading required on my part!
I don't think they were brazed, just brass plugs pressed in, as in the ends of the oil galleries.
Since when is ireland an italian province?
(He used italian flag instead of irish flag. Italian flag : 🇮🇹 , irish flag :🇮🇪. In thumbnail)
On my computer it looks orange 👀 I’m sometimes bad about colors that are similar.
@@classicminidiy mistakes happen. I had an argument with a teacher once about a color of a car. I said it was red he said its orange so we settled on sunset red
Keep focused mate, it’s about an engine
@@malcolmlane-ley2044 that too.
