    Beautiful restoration. My Dad rode the WLA in Europe for the U.S. Army in 1944-1945.
    He was in the 3rd Armored division, and helped relay messages from the HQ to front lines.
    He's gone, but has told me many stories of riding and fighting in that war.

    I don't understand anything you say, because your speech is a very special english version, but I like it very much. Go further like that! Brilliant work guys.

      A lot of us speak like that. Not like the posh English actors you see in the movies.

    Dear Sir, in one episode you described something approx. called "pressure relief valve" and I think it is located in the cam cover meeting a channel in the crankcase (it could be located in the engine crank half-I could be mistaken), I assembled a couple of engines many years ago and I remember that I observed this particular detail but I would like to go over that again, could you please help me with the episode this was mentioned in-I can't find it, many thanks for your excellent videos and the work you do, they are a pleasure to watch.

      Hi Christer, I think it was a question Ash answered in a Q&A (ep220 - th-cam.com/video/uq2iqX7Q8Yk/w-d-xo.html). If this doesn't give you the information you need then let me know and I'll ask him again.
