Please make sure your customer supplied replacement stag engine is a goer. If you fit it and it’s a dud. Who’s going to foot the expense for your work fitting it. Great Chanel. All the best.
As we are not supplying the engine the engine is purely the customer’s responsibility he is taking it out of a accident damaged car and believes it to be good if we fit the engine to the car and the engine isn’t any good unfortunately this is down to the customer and is solely his responsibility and the bill would still stand we recommend reconditioning the engine that is currently in the car as we would then know it would be a good engine and have warranty
Wow that TR8 engine is certainly tired and original…. lucky if the crank and cylinder bores are all good and it’s just a careful refresh with standard consumables. I presume for that era of engine it would have needed 3000 mile oil changes with classic 20w/50 mineral oil ? Did you say the red Stag has a 3500 engine i.e. Rover conversion ? It would be good on the videos to give little reminders like that about the car you’re talking about, also what model the Bristol was and what it came back in for, etc. The green Stag is interesting, hopefully you get to do an autopsy on the failed engine and maybe a rebuild…
Just as I was wondering what bearings you would use to replace the 'Vanderwell' you said 'not County' etc. Be interested to see the bearings you use. Good old Unipart stuff still turns up all these years later
@@karter5351 you’ll have to wait and see what bearings we use they will be high quality racing bearings as we will only put the best parts possible in our cars
Good luck with your channel, mate!

@@chelsiebrookes2470 I agree with you. Rebuilding the original would be the best bet.
