Living in the U.S., these are rare, but can be found. My neighbor was a Citroen trained mechanic and was responsible for teaching a good many enthusiasts on how to maintain and make repairs. It's sad that he passed before creating videos of this caliber and passing on the knowledge. Thank you for creating this most informative video.
I appreciate that you had to condense a lot of information during the reassembly steps, but I wish it didn't have such a supercut feel to it. I really enjoy watching your videos and the slow pace and wealth of information they contain. As I mentioned earlier, you're the mechanic version of Søren Ryge to me, and one of my favourite wind-down drugs. Ofcourse, you need to cater to your viewers, and I reckon not many would want to see you spend 15 minutes fitting seals and tightening screws, but there are some of us out there! 😅 Keep up the great work Seppo.
Are you kidding? ...the inlet- and exhaust manifold are one?! That’s a wicked design. The air/fuel mixture will be heated up. With the knowledge of today you would make two separate manifolds. And I would give it a try by doing some tube welding and/or 3D printing (intake side only).
Good news! My car is back on the road! And I have found a new wing, which is very cheap... I mean really cheap and what is even better is it is the same colour as my car. So no need to paint it will bolt straight on and look fantastic again!
Obviously you never had a Lambretta scooter and took the cowling off the cylinder head. If you do the fins get full of oil and dirt/grit from the roads so the cooling from the fins on the magnetto is nill. The next thing you have is a totally seized engine.
@@SeasideGarage I was just puzzled. Didn't mean to point a mistake. I guess what footage is edited has also some added hassle to that of the repair itself.

My current favourite project to watch on TH-cam. THANKS FOR SHARING THE JOURNEY
Yay!
So satisfying seeing this small, simple engine come together. Very good editing too..
Nicely edited.
To within an inch of its life😢
I just love watching you working on these engines.
You are very tidy and organised.
🤔
Thanks... But not really... ;)
More like a Danish old school Hubnut! But with much better cars in his fleet and some actual spannering going on!

I like the long format more myself .. and that's what I want to do... But this project needs to get a move on! :)
Good job
You didn't break anything! 😲 Another great video, thanks!
that dinamo setup is just insane.

It's great for winter driving ! ;)
@theblackhand6485 That is actually quite common in a lot of cars from the era, for example the a-Series engine fitted to a lot of British cars :)

Not long before it'll be up and running, even if it's not quite the engine it used to be... :D
👍
I think you should set the valve clearances with a warm engine on this type, not cold.
On hot it would be different clearances... It's advised to do on cold engine on 2cv
If the final engine is a combination of several parts engines would that make it a hybrid?
Might make tax a bit cheaper
It's already a hybrid, it burns both gasoline and oil...
Great to see something actually going according to plan!
Did you check the condition of the fuel pump membrane before fitting it? :)
hehe... better do that! :P
@@SeasideGarage it’s probably fine!
A bit of SOUP creaping in? Getting inspired by a certain Esprit?
Very!
What a shame it has cowlings to cover the fins, such a nice looking engine otherwise 😊
Yea... But they are important for air flow/cooling !

@@SeasideGarage yes yes i know their important for cooling, but still a shame
Do you also talk to the engines because this one seems to need some chiding!
a minime of Beetle engine.😄
..... replaced the original CV engine by a BMW RT 900 S Bike engine and have more fun to fright sportscars !
4:35 why didn't you clean all that rust buildup on the treads? Have them no mechanical purpose?
That's a mistake .. I cleaned up the threads in the wrong block... :p was fixed of camera
