These are among the best ‘A’ series videos on TH-cam. Straight talking with correct engineering language. I’m reassured by them that I’ve been building these engines correctly over the years but also learning from some of the tips. Very useful 👌
Hi Ryan thanks for such a lovely comment, I really appreciate you taking the time to say such decent things Happy New year from HRE 👍
It’s obvious there is no Teleprompter being used so this is all “ad lib” which makes it even more amazing. No referring or hesitation, just pure shared experience with the most minute detail and the answers to the questions before you even think of asking them. I struggle to think when such detail was shared so freely. Reminds me of the village school master in Goldsmith’s Deserted Village that went something like “e’en they gazed and e’en the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all he knew. I admit it. Mad jealous. Great stuff.
As always mister Farrell very kind just a man in his shop sharing the knowledge
Great explanations, love it when you refer to the physics and the maths. Can’t wait to get my Moke engine out.
Just came across your channel. I just recently, last week, got my little dream car. Been one for the last 11ish years already. It is a Mini 1275E, which was made in South Africa only. I will be watching much more of your videos as they are amazing. Cannot wait to start mending and fixing up my little unit. First thing is the shifter, as 2nd and revers slips out, need to still figure that out. Other fixes I want new balljoints and bushings on the front😁😁😁
Fantastic technical content.
Cheers William
Thank you for this and your other videos. I am especially grateful for your explanation of why one should bring the torque up in a sweeping motion. Bravo!
Glad to help David best of luck with your engine works 👍
Love your videos .
Thanks friend glad you enjoyed 👍
Awesome video 👍
Thanks Raj I appreciate the comment 👍
One of the best engine building series I've seen. Thank you. Ive read everything I can and watch so many hours of videos and yet there is a goldmine of practical tips and checks that I haven't found elsewhere. Really appreciate all the effort you put into your channel. Cheers
Wow thanks Andrew I'm delighted you found the videos helpful and I thank you for such positive feedback its greatly appreciated 👍
again another spot on video ,,, well explained ,, thnks again
Thanks again! buddy glad you enjoyed
@@HREIRL we where having a laugh at work on the way i described your narration and the way you work ,,,,, i likened it to an old tv series over here called ."out of town" with jack Hargreaves ,,,,he had a easy slow way about him and described things perfectly for us all to learn easy ,,,, and it works ,,, dont change lol
@@acrchy I had to look that up Acrchy and I must say i would be very happy if I come across as natural and relaxed as Mr Hargreaves I will keep it up buddy 👍👍☘️
ive also blocked the waterways on number one cylinder,ive drilled and tapped all 4 on number one but on the block as opposed to the head,known as a semi dry deck,they use this in appendage k racing apparently..also drilled and tapped the oil gallerieschanged the water pump from gwp 132 to 134, larger impellor water pump to drive the water to the far end,temperatures can vary on cylinder one to four up to 10 degrees on a race engine,thats an awful lot,great work,especially the 90* tightening of cam nut..
ya that all sounds like prudent modifications, temp indifference is a big problem on these little motors so anything we can do to help is very worth while. glad you enjoyed 👍
You have the "Luck of the Irish" when you are taking these engines apart. Certainly with these old mini engines. Normally every single bolt is rusted on or we need hydrolic jacks to get things free but you make it seem so easy. This is obviously why you are able to smile so much during your videos. Keep up the great work and as usual thanks for great content. (great win at the weekend by the way).
Hahaha I think these little machines have an affinity with me, I was working on a ford yesterday and everything I put my hand to was seized or sheered off hahah thanks for the lovely comment Uncle K
Nice
Thanks
Step by step as well as the why's and the importance of the why not way of doing things Paul, as always very impressive .
Thanks Jer glad you are enjoying the videos and find them beneficial thanks for the lovely comment
Paul - absolutely fantastic detail, including the rationale for 'why', which is so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Rob glad you enjoyed the video Thanks for watching 👍👍
Alway enjoy watching an engine build video ... will be great to hear the old girl bark again soon
Thanks so much for watching Ian, and I can tell you I am also very excited to he here burst into life, I have a bit of a love affair with this little motor
attention to detail is phenomenal, another great video
Thank you very much Paul Thanks for watching 👍
Paul very interesting and well explained great 👍👨🏻🏭🇬🇧
Hi Paul Thanks for your lovely comment and for watching 👍👍☘️
I was taught that if using a paper or cork gasket to always install them without gasket sealer unless required to do so for example the crankshaft oil seal between the engine block and the gearbox on mini engine's
It really all depends, back in the day when gaskets where much better quality in all cases I would have fitted them with out gasket cement. however now from a vast amount of experience I can say there is defiantly place for it in certain applications
So informative on how you build an engine brilliant.
Glad you liked it jan cheers for watching
Great educational content once again Gentleman, hats off once again. 👍
Thanks buddy glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant video. Vary interesting. Can't wait to see the next.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Paul.
Thanks conor 👍
Really enjoying these videos, I’m learning a lot!
Hay Matt Glad you enjoyed the video :) thanks for tuning in 👍
WHAT AND HOW DO YOU PLUG THOSE WATER PASSAGES ?
Another top video Paul! Great content and really understandable about what and why etc. Look forward to the next one 🚗💨
Thanks Andrew glad you enjoyed it 👍
enjoyed that, validation i'm building engines the same way more or less! I've never really looked closely at an oil pump before, just stuck in a new one each time, but seeing recent posts on FB about declining quality and this vid I'll be paying more attention in future!
Ya its shocking tbh this was not a cheep pump and I was shocked at just how far out it actually was now days we cant take anything for granted on anything every thing has to be checked
Great advice as always. We posted very similar videos on the same day LOL
We must be in tune or something funny how a lot of people can be dealing with similar challenges at the same time
amazing as always sir
Thanks again buddy!
Hi Paul
Love the proper fasteners: trying to buy them now, but without stripping an engine down to find all the correct lengths and thread sizes it’s difficult. You could do a kit as part of the HRE merchandise offering: now, THAT would be proper merch! Yeah, a T-shirt is nice, but real engineering stuff would be good. One thing confuses me: you seem to use Allen keys a lot, rather than hex drive keys on your ratchet. Must be sore on the hands...?
Hi Will, there is a good Idea I will get on that, I am very old school. I actully love the feel of a solid hex key its like a spanner. I do have drive keys for for the ratchets but I always reach for the keys 👍
🤯 always learning 👌
Glad to hear it
great vids and most helpful! I'm in the middle of rebuilding a1275 but see nothing about the issue I was
having....cam end float. Seems like an important issue not to go over it a bit. Perhaps since you had this apart/rebuilt not long ago there was no need to get into it? I had been stumped on why my float was way above spec. After reaching out to a few others i found it was necessary to make sure the distributer gear was in place (it was not) before measuring and the fact the front stop plate was too thick and needed to be shaved down a bit
Really enjoyable build and tips, first class. Whereabouts do you race?
Generally in Ireland but we have been known to make an appearance in the uk from time to time
enjoying the vids...whens the next one on gretel??
Very soon We started filming this week just need to get some more footage and get it edited
Great Video Paul!
You can't hear enaugh of engine assemblying, to know everything about it.
Still learning.
Do you add a chain case ventilador?
Which wayer holes did you block in your head?
Hi Francisco, no chain Ventilator as there is too much oil in that area on a race motor. I blocked the first 3 holes to promote water flow down the block instead of going around the thermostat and water pump of the engine block
Boy, did I get an education today. Do you always reuse the head studs as a lot of engine builders seem to always want to renew them , thanks for another great video.
Hi Patrick glad it was of use to you, These are ARP competition Head studs and we are given a measurement by ARP as long as the studs are with in this measurement you can re-use the stud if the stud is outside this measurement you need to replace them 👍
Another fantastic video Paul. Very good information. Looking forward to the follow ups.
Can I ask if they used 13" wheels for these race Minis back in the day?
Is this to provide a better choice of rubber?
Hi Andy We do run 13"s on these cars for the reason its not possible to get regulation approved tyres for the 12' unfortunately. Glad you enjoyed the vid 👍
Some great tips! Thanks. Do you do any lubrication system mods for reliability etc? Thanks
Yes when this motor was built originally we would have carried out a couple of modifications to promote better oil flow it a few different places, if this is something your interested in we can do a video on that in the future 👍
@@HREIRL that would be awesome, its one of those avenues not everyone is keen to share, so for home builders would be very beneficial! Look forward to it
Great attention to detail, anywhere you recommend getting the fasteners from?
I buy them from a local supplier but I hear westfield fasteners are very good
Wat size to copper to use to change manual petrol to electric
Would it be alriight to use it on one side so it stay in place and use a grease on the other side so the gasket could be reused,
You could Tyrone however there is a possibility the grease could contaminate it so for the sake of the gasket you are better off using it on both sides or neither
hey paul, seeing you do all this to a pump makes me think... should I do that to a new oil pump? I got one from swiftune with my cam kit and Id think its pre-checked/setup like you do, but....whats your opinion on that? Cheers
I always check mine Luis as I have come across a few that where supposed to be "ready to fit" but when i measured them it was far from the case. In the case of swiftune I cant comment as I don't get pumps from them. It belt and braces if you check anyway :)
Will do!
For the most part I (we) cannot see what you are doing as the camera is to far away, wrote this @ 15min in.
Im sorry about that, This video was from quite a while ago. we are doing our best to try and improve the camera work and visuals so thanks for the feed back and we will continually keep working to produce better footage for you :)
@@HREIRL Obliged as I was a keen Mini owner in the 60's myself.
You are just rough! cross fingers no finesse need we say more?
