Splendid job guys. No jigs,no extensive work shop gadgets,,no documentation, manuals. Yet these guys ,keep their brains in their hands ,for a fine finish . Wel done.
Jeez, I'd love to grab you guys and transport you to a modern, well-equipped workshop and see just how much better you could be. I really am humbled by what you achieve with so little. You should feel very proud of yourselves because I know I am. Well done guys
This is common in india. The Garage in front of my house in india has a similar setup and does the same. People in India don't learn from books they learn from others and while working so they are all skills. Plus no bs health n safety we have in the west. So they can work in flip-flops.
@@bengtgronlund9447 I was thinking just that. A pure nuts and bolts build and repair/restoration. Simpler times. Progress has its benefits, and attendant complexities.
After watching many time lapse videos of US big blocks rebuilds in sterile workshops with the latest and greatest full-auto equipment and computer supported tuning, this video made me smile from ear to ear 😁!! Honest hard manual work outside on a classic English engine... I really enjoyed watching this vid, job well done! It made me think of dismantling my Triumph T140E engine in my shed... 👍
It's the way i do it, nothin fancy a good workbench made solid, get my cast iron engine upon it with a hoist, wrenches, rags torque wrench carb cleaner an all that good stuff an start tearing into it, it's not the space shuttle as tarylfixesall says. it's the only real way ta learn about this stuff, putting a compression gage on the engine and comparing readings when valves have been refaced and lapped, proper valve lash, maybe a ring job? pull apart the carb and clean out Gerty's emulsion tube properly serviced air cleaner, its all good. I work on portable generators so I know you have to have a well running engine to turn a genny of rated KW.
This brings back memories of repairing my first cars engine. No engine stand,bench or even a workshop, just basic hand tools. Looks primitive, but it works with these simple engines. Having those engine remanufacturer tools at the end were a luxury I never had.
I enjoy all videos on engine rebuilding, but the videos like this one tell me that rebuilding an engine is easier than I thought. Thank you for the video.
Back in the mid-60s when I moved to Texas had a girlfriend whose dad was a church of Christ preacher. He had a couple of Morris minors that he enjoyed rehabbing. Watched him go through the engine on one of them and at the time I kind of chuckled because I was running a big Chrysler V8. I thought his engine looked like the starter on my car. His cars are probably still running. Mines probably been scrapped, put on a steamer to Japan rebuilt into a new car, worn out shipped back remelted into yet another new car. Enjoyed the video!
Great Job!! Definitely as thorough as they could have been with what they have, and they even honed the block, new bearings etc they have come a long way and improved a lot
In early 1950s I was in Europe and bought a used Morris minor convertible. We drove it all over Europe and brought it back to Florida. It had several owners after that I saw it often it had a long life.
Looks good. I do have one warning though. On rod and main bearings.. NEVER put oil on the side that does not have a a rotating surface. Such as when you go to install your crank and rod bearings, they need to be DRY. It can cause you to spin a bearing because the excess oil can force the bearing away from its mounting surface. Speaking from past experience. :)
This engine looks so simple but try and make one yourself. There are so many little things that need to be right you cannot even think about. There are decades of engineering experience behind this single lump of iron. My respect. It stood the test of time better than most.
How I love this! As a youngster I lived in Malaysia in the early 70's and saw those cars there. BEST years of my life! Thanks to my buddies Silvaraj, Razah, Durairaj (Mousey) and my next-door neighbor in Kuala Pilah, Mr. Kuljit Singh.
Brought back memories, served my 6 year apprenticeship with BMC. used have old ladies bringing in the Minors for 6, 7 - 10 year service, with only 8 or 9 thousand miles on them, going to the village store or church and return
Brings back memories...my father was an engine fitter working for Rover and so he didn't mind taking engines apart and putting them back together in the early 60's, teaching me in the process. He never used a torque wrench reckoning his "feel" was more accurate. Good 'ole A series 803cc engine: three main bearings and tiny big-end bearings (didn't last long on the new-fangled motorways) plus no tensioner on the timing belt. Thankfully improved over the years but they always had a good appetite for oil IMHO.
Nice rebuild job of the engine this one is from the mini Austin (800cc) ! I had an 1968 AUSTIN A 60 (1200cc)with about the same engine maybe little bigger !! I just love how u work !! Good job !!
Been following you guys for a while. Excellent work! And I must commend your team on building up on tools that make DIY people like myself droolll 😎💯💯💯💯
Great workmanship there.... Not keeping the conrod big-end caps matched, and putting the pistons down on concrete.... Shows years of training and expertise.....
Great little engines. Absolutely nothing fancy, 950ccs of ho-hum reliability. Joseph Lucas (the prince of darkness) electrics You could use leads from a carpenter pencil glued together for dynamo brushes, and other cob-ups that got you going and lasted pretty well. Notice the projection on the rear of the starter. It was squared off so you could put a wrench on it and turn it backwards if the starter drive got stuck (no kidding) there was even a wrench in the tool kit to fit it. Built one in my dorm room in engineering school, drove the RA nuts. Great fun. Never knew what MOWOG stood for, but I remember it. Thanks for the memories.
Just for future reference you’re only supposed to put assembly lube on the inner layer of main and rod bearings. Putting assembly lube around the outside of the bearings increases likelihood of spinning the bearing.
@@ebrahimi44 its regular assembly lube but the main crankshaft and rod bearings need to be dry when installed to have friction and prevent spun bearings
Meus amigos parabéns pelo excelente trabalho e vídeo, gosto muito de restauração e essa daí ficou maravilhosa, grato por trabalhos assim, obrigado por compartilhar...🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hello, Great work, fascinating to watch, how you remember how all the parts fit together. Now that you have rebuilt the engine, what do you do with it?
I find these videos are amazing, how long did it take from start to finish to restore this engine. I really love it that nothing bothers you about anything, broken, just make a new one, damaged edges, sand them back, weld it up and file down until it fits, fantastic work guys, and all on the garage floor, lol 😂
Lovely video. These engines are so simple, easy to work on. On a Morris Minor you can actually take the front panels of the car off and climb in with the engine 😂
There sure are a lot of complaints about their work!!! Maybe he doesn't have much money or equipment. He's accomplishing something, isn't he? Mucho respect
@Daver G its not that hard to get it to seal, i have a vw d24 and i must say, renovating one of thosenis allot of work, there is allot to think about, and for gods sake, dont touch the diesel pump if you dont know what you are doing!
@Daver G EVERY PART OF an engine has to be precisely machined. Even electric motors. The main shaft, bearings, coils have to be precisely machined and put together or the motor will shake it self apart or wear out quickly. Gas cars need pumps too which are ELECTRIC and a lot more complex than a diesel. Mechanical Diesel fuel pumps are extremely simple. There is a fucking difference between simple and precise. WE ARE NOT talking about how precisely they are made. You are not going to build the broken part of a fuel pump from scratch. You will buy those VERY precisely made parts and then put them into the pump. The pump is VERY simple. It is made from a few components which are VERY precise. Precision means reliability and long life. Got an old Toyota hilux from 1997. The MECHANICAL fuel pump still works. Got a tractor from 1970. The MECHANICAL fuel pump still works. On the other side electrical fuel pumps are cheaply made from plastic and the electric motors usually burn out
@Balage78Szfvar you can start a diesel without glow plugs. You can heat the intake and then crank it. It will start after many cranks. But the point is that it will start. Also you can get someone to push the car and then throw it into gear. It will start imediately
Absolutely fantastic. I love that his bench vise is two of his buddies, and that the overspray from the paint just drifted onto the side of the truck in the background, and that when the seal didn't fit, there was no pause in the work--just get the torch! LOVE IT!!!
Nice to see someone actually rebuilding a water pump as opposed to just replacing it. This is the way to do things - 100% top marks

100% worked on cat and Volvo's no oil on mains or rod caps only on bearing faces....
As a rule I never comment on TH-cam. But this was an amazing job. As a kid we travelled as a family around the UK in a Morris Traveler.
Bloody brilliant restoration my friends. Such a well known car here, so you have my respect. Incredible job
Very satisfying to watch, thank you.
It’s fun watching people work on these smaller engines
Power tools and flip flops. Gotta love it! Greetings from Seattle, Washington USA
