I've just stripped a 2.25 petrol engine down which had been sat for years. The conrods were scabby as hell but useable. Planning to give them the shot blast treatment. What did you treat them with after you blasted? Thanks for the videos, they are really helpful.
make sure you get ALL the sand out of the block or you will be in 'Triumph Stag' world...........
When it goes for a commercial wash tank it will be fine - a rebore kicks out a lot of fine particals
Like faeces to a hairy blanket ... wow thats a horrendous thought
I bet that will run like a Swiss timepiece when you get it running, such attention to detail is great to watch.
Hope so!
what i don't hear much these days is emery cloth which when i was an apprentice electrical fitter in the 80s we used it for cleaning/polishing loads of component's. Dave & Lisa south wales uk
Yes. I used a super fine emery cloth on a roll, to polish the water stain out of Number 3 journal
An acid dip tank isn't that hard to rig up, we made our own for on site dipping of all the welded pipe fittings for building power station turbine oil systems. You've got to be careful of course. Be good for cleaning up fittings for that boat you don't have/need...lol! 😂
its a good job schools out today... the Krown game has had me recently!
Changed my mind. Coming soon: "In this video, I'll show you how you can replace your kitchen dishwasher with a sandblast cabinet -- you won't believe how clean I can get my dinner plates and silverware!" Mike, you're obsessed!!!!!!
Hell - how did you guess! Actually, as I live above the shop I ran an air line into my apartment! Excellent for cleaning cobwebs computers and the hoover when it gets blocked - every home should have one!
@@BritannicaRestorations You're kidding, right? No, on second thought, you aren't!!!!!!!

Here is another quality TH-camr I watch with an airline in his kitchen 😁 Just a bit of a mess around video from him but his channel is worth a watch if you are into engineering.
A good abrasive to klean sensible steel surfaces as bearing shafts and similar is scotch brite. I use it often with very good results, instead of papersanding. I'm just finishing a 70 years old Series One IOE 2.0 spreadbore engine stalled for more than 20 years and many of your advices were very usefull. Thanks for that Mike.
Thanks! Rear crank seal on my S1 coming soon!
@@BritannicaRestorations Great. 😊
Holy crap - as predicted - I winced at the thought of sandblasting the crankshaft!! - I've honestly never seeen anyone do that before... but, it seemed to turn out pretty good! - well done that man...and well done for shattering my nerves! - and as for the drinking game every time you mention _Krown,_ I am now well and truly pissed as the proverbial newt, and we are only 6 mins into the 17 min video.......God help us all ('cos no other bugger will) And I have to comment on the state of the workshop coat after the sandblasting, and hope that Deborah realises that _this_ is why you don't wear the new one she got you. All the best, and now (after pausing to comment at 5 mins in), I shall away and watch the rest of the video. Dogue.
Lol! I do not get sponsored from Krown! Did I say Krown? I meant to say Krown!
Drink up!
Lol!
I'm just going to keep my mouth shut. LOL.
Lol!
Who dares Gins!
That cranks looks like new! 😬
I am convince this motor has done very low miles - the rocker shaft although stained was like new - usually the bushings and shaft are shot
Amazing work Mike ! Should run nice and cool with no crap obstructing the water flow. I blasted the inside of an Austin block and got a good pile of scale abs rust fly out. Loving this series
I was impressed as the amount that came out! What a mucky job!
Mike - why not put a 2.5 cam in it for more power? Is that upgrade a lie? I'm asking because I'm thinking of that upgrade to my 2.25 '63 109.
2.25 Petrol / 2.5 NA Diesel / 2.5 TD / 200Tdi / 2.5 Petrol
Same cam
@@BritannicaRestorations a thought for a video would be talk/built a 'high performance' 2.25l
Ie high compression heads, different carbs, etc... as there is a tonne of miss information out there on how to squeeze some extra horses out of that lump of iron.
To be honest this is the first 4 cylinder petrol engine I have seen for over a decade!
Lovely jublee
Sure is
I was looking into swapping a Rover 3.5 v8 into a MGB. It turned out I wouldn't need and suspension modifications. I'm guessing this weighs as much or more...
I believe so - Many years ago I swapped a Jag 6 cylinder to a Rover V8 and the suspension had to be dropped a bit as it looked odd
"...we don't want it to sweat, like me!" Mike, you are wearing three layers! It can't be THAT cold there! ;)
Pretty much!
Loving this Mike, the military 2.25 over here are up at silly money. Especially a 236 or 951 some people asking up to £1200 for a take out and not with the the above numbers. Crazy.
Same over here with 200/300Tdi - going for crazy money and are almost totally shot, needing full rebuilds
@@BritannicaRestorations Just daft. 😕
Mike. Top tip - go to your local Quebec swimming pool supplier and pick up a gallon of hydrochloric acid to run with your home made slurry cabinet mista ! How much can you over-bore it sir ? V.
Bloody hell mike that crank looks like new ! We did similar to a v8 crank
The used, fine sand has its uses!
You don't need to tell me twice to 'drink up' hic 🥃🥃🥃🥃🍺🥴 Great work as usual.
Sorry! lol!
@@BritannicaRestorations Hi Mike, I'm trying to find a wiring diagram for my Defender 127 Ambulance. Electric are not good and was thinking about a new wiring loom. Think it might be the same as a 110 but not sure. Would you know how I can find out? Chassis no? Sorry to badger you on this thread. Cheers
James - I have no diagrams but if you want to rewire the lot, then change to 300 Tdi as it was simple - BUT you need the full harness front to back inc engine harness - You will have to change the indicator/direction stalks etc as the plugs will be different
The only major difference with harnesses are the plugs
New harnesses come with the spade fuse box, but not the metal support - easy to find used
@@BritannicaRestorations Thanks Mike. I've got the 3.5RV8 in mine so yes would have to change the lot. I'll do a bit more investigation on the wiring I've got and see if I can improve it. Cheers.
What ya gonna do with this engine when finished? I need a new 2.25 for my 2a. 🤔
I will sell it but not sure if I will do a 'like for like' exchange, as these seem to be so popular
