Great video! This was the best video I could find with someone using the Lisle ridge reamer that I bought. Thank you for explaining how to use it because I wasn’t sure why mine was chattering.
Hi Mike You could use a magnet 🧲 to collect the loose shaving before you remove the microfibre cloth would reduce the risk of dropping shaving down the bores Great video
I think the warning on the box is fairly accurate. Spending hours in a shed, working on Land Rovers, is almost certainly going to harm your chances of reproducing.
Love the comment on the cancer warning. Sums up 2021 perfectly! I'll have to say this reamer is extremely sketchy trying to cut a ridge on a flathead with a depressed deck section in the combustion chamber area. Same problem here, couldn't find anything else available.
Interesting tool. Had to take more material off than I expected. Thought it would be more carbon build up. And p.s you're on the same page as me re the Fluvid.
Is that thing meant to cut dry, or can you use cutting oil - the microfible would soak up the oil, and the swarf would stick better with less chance of falling off on removal? Would there be less chance of it jumping if lubed up a bit? I dunno - never used one before, so probably talking oot me erse. ;)
@@BritannicaRestorations EDITED - cos I fecked up reading the reasons of the ridges. I didn't see the start of the next sentence and thought fretting was part of the problem - kick my arse...and I've removed the comment!
Ye olde ring ridge remover. Haven't seen one of those for a while. Used to see ring ridge on Holden inline 6 engines for a while. I used to wonder if they went through a bad patch with their casings.
Great tip about the “sacrificial” micro fibre cloth. Though this would be a lot more effective if it were impregnated with Dubbin, as the swarf would stick where it fell. And ensure a much easier clean up.
Dubbin ....used to use that on my football boots and the football itself .... heading that leather football in the rain got me where I am today ......totally gormless
Mike, would some sort of cutting fluid / lubricant help with the chattering of the blade as it cuts, or is that not recommended when cutting the carbon?
Nothing like a good bit of reeming however as the box says don’t go too far or it could widen the bore too much meaning your piston rattles around and the reproductive chance will be less. 🤣
I think I could listen to this guy (Mike) talk for hours ! We work to a budget, not standard.

Awesome, thank you!
Coffee, Tunnocks, Mike. Sorted. 😊👍🏻

Edumakated mee yet again Mike innit !,, still enjoying your channel
l remember doing a 3b diesel engine and de-glazing to much,l buggered the engine,l struggled to stop it running on.
That 2 rag method is genius. Also, that vaccine joke was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!

Thanks again!
Hi Mike good morning. That handy to know there a tool to take the ridge off the top of the cylinder 👍🇮🇪☘️
Sure is
Mike. So it's taken the top edge lip off the top of the block if cast-iron mista ! Can cutting tool be used on liners ? V.
Hi Mike, do you cut dry or use cutting fluid? Thanks, Ivor
Instructions said dry and other videos were dry

cast iron so can be cut dry but it only removes a little at a time

Would have worked better if you use some sort of cutting fluid?
Great suggestion but the instructions said dry
If that reamer can cause reproductive harm you'd have to wonder what it's made to ream out? I'd think a local anesthetic would be a minimum. 😏
lol!

Never used one of those, just Emery cloth to reduce the lip….then keep the revs down for a while.
Great video Thanks !
Your a Great Teacher !
I appreciate that!

@@BritannicaRestorations late response, but I've always heard: cut steel with oil, aluminum without.
looks warm there - early in the season for a heat wave ?
Yeap - bang into summer now - hardly any spring!
