One of THE most satisfying things to hear in the automotive world, hearing a rebuilt engine coming to live. PLUS, aren't these old engines just absolutely gorgeous? Job well done!!!!
You've got that absolutely right! All that beautiful polished alloy and not a single plastic shroud in the place!! These modern engines are noteworthy bits of machinery but the esthetics are pitiful. I realize the modern fuel injection is far more controllable and efficient but few engines are as beautiful as one with a set of six 45 DCOE Webers sitting on top (or along side).
Its great to see an engine without acres of black plastic. Back then, the engines looked as good as the cars. You could spend hours just looking at that motor. Job well done.
Indeed. I have a car going through a complete rebuild. Engine has been given a total overhaul and upgrade. When I saw it with shiny carbs, all the linkages on show and heard it running on the bench it was glorious. Admittedly not a Lamborghini v12 but an air cooled flat four. Still, was magic to my ears.
What a beautiful looking engine. Unlike modern engines with a plastic cover, under which there is a massive assortment of hoses. Well done Mr Tyrrell. Followed by a cup of tea and warmed up chocolate biscuits and shortbreads. Quintessentially British.
I have to believe that if anything trumps the first day of Lamborghini Espada ownership, it's hearing that freshly rebuilt motor spark to life after nine months. Cheers, Harry, Iain & lads!
And unlike so many other businesses, he doesn't sit in his office and yell orders to his employees. Gotta respect a boss that still knows his stuff and likes to get his hands dirty. :-)
Wow...who like me wishes they could go back in time and apprentice for Iain Tyrrell? What an absolute gent, proper old school mechanic. They are a dying breed unfortunately. Could watch and listen to him all day. Thanks for the quality content as usual. 👍
Saw this video had uploaded this morning so jumped in the old Benz and drove for an hour or so to find a great spot in the countryside. Thank you team at Tyrrells and of course Iain and Harry for an epic half hour of automotive Italian-ography. A rebuild of a classic Lamborghini V12 from the 1970's is truly awe inspiring, WOW just WOW.
The cheapest oil you can get to bed the pistons in! That makes so much sense once Mr Tyrrell explained it. After running in, over to fully synthetic oil... Brilliant
Yes, important. I helped a friend some 5 years ago, to rebuild his TR6 engine. We did a perfect job on it save a HUGE mistake: Synthetic oil on the restart. Bad idea! From this sad day, it's now a smoker. Less as the miles go on now but still... always a light smell of burnt oil present. Bummer.
Some oil manufacturers make specific "run-in oil", but it's just basic no-frills cheapo oil with no additives, so yeah, the no name supermarket stuff is fine. Ideally you want something that doesn't lubricate and protect things too well, it speeds up the bed in process. Just don't rev the ding out of it - be gentle, especially at first.
@@marcryvon ,Most old school engines don't do well on modern thin oils, it gets past the rings and leaks all over the place, making smoke as well as a mess of the engine, I always get classic 20W50 for old motors.
Iain you are an absolute master. If that car had been at the authorised dealer it would have taken 3 days to install and start up. You are absolutely correct about the materials used for exhausts. We had a RR Silver Cloud 2 and the pipes from the manifold rotted out so father had stainless pipes manufactured. The increase in noise was quite remarkable over the mild steel pipes. He then went to copper pipes for some reason and that wasn't so bad but please stick with mild steel.
Thank you for sharing this special moment when the engine fires up for the first time. To see Mr. Tyrell's face starts smiling after that great success. Who ever has done an engine rebuild knows how intense this moment is. Amazing job. 👍 Greetings from Germany.
The figure Harry mentioned in a previous video was £25k. I wonder how much the final bill will be? He did say, however, that rebuilding the engine to this standard would increase the value of the car by £50k.
@@PhilUKNet Sounds like a lotta money, but You gotta divide the ultimate sum of Your final bill through Your number of cylinders to get an actually compareable number, don't Ya .....
Right before start up yes I was crapping my pants what was going to happen! I just love Iain and the boys, I could just go there every day, park a seat with a cooler and just watch. So glad to hear Harry's voice when she fired right up, so much pride and love for these old cars. Great job guys!
There’s something satisfying about listening to someone who really knows what they’re on about isn’t there? If I’m ever fortunate enough to have a car such as this, Mr Tyrrell is the chap I would be going to. Amazing job.
First time I ever noticed the intake ports are BETWEEN the cams! Wow, this architecture is a stunner. Makes sense why it was use all the way to 2011 with the 670-4 Merci SV. I want on in my collection as soon as possible. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing process. It’s a dream for pretty much any gear head!
Please someone make sure we cryogenically preserve Mr Tyrrell. His knowledge awestrucks me. Fantastic as always Harry. Hats off, the car looks and sounds very special!
WOW the points you make about the difference in sound from mild steel to stainless steel exhausts, a mild steel exhaust I had on a car did have a deeper sound.
Huge smile on my face, no idea why I'm so chuffed that it fired right up like that, looks absolutely gorgeous and I'm happy I got to see it, cheers to you all.
I only re-watched one of Harry’s Espada videos this morning, wondering when the next instalment would be released! Engine looks stunning! What a magnificent collaborative effort. Kudos and congratulations to all of the team. It sounds wonderful. Looking forward to seeing the panel in the roof being fitted next.
It needs breaking in before it's to do eight! I would be tortured to bring up the patience if it were mine... But then you look at the bill and it should be easier haha.
The trouble with watching videos like this, is that you now only want someone like Ian Tyrell working on your cars!!! The guy and his team are clearly of the highest skill levels - brilliant to watch and listen to. 👏👏👏
That was actually quite emotional... These guys are so good. Thanks for sharing. Can´t wait to see it blasting up the Route Napoleon and down the Autostrada... (Throw in some Autobahn to make sure it pulls 8000 at hight speed. Important information!)
If ever two gentlemen were meant to be together in pursuit of excellence, then you have just watched it. It is absolutely essential that the knowledge which Iain has, is in some format passed on to future generations. In fact as important as those who are able, keep being able to buy and pay for the upkeep of this wonderful automotive history. It is about time that these two delightful gentlemen got together and created a television programme...it would certainly tower above all others. Thanks for the super enjoyable entertainment. Cheers and stay safe Bob
Ahh... Mr. Metcalf. So delightful to see your excitement & share with you the joy of hearing this crank up and burst to life. Money well spent. What a treat. Look forward to your first drive & the thrill of watching as you run in this exquisite engine and finally unleash the enhanced performance to the penultimate 8000 rpm goal. It'll be like a mezzo soprano stretching the chords to reach that unattainable octave...
This was a great Friday treat Finished work , poured myself an ice cold cider ,watched a lambo v12 being fired up for the first time 👍🏻 The 6 twin choke carbs are just pure filth ,absolutely gorgeous engine !
Flames shmames.... That's what you have cloth and CO2 for:) Helped a friend start up his 250 GTE that had been sitting for three months the other day, and of course it decided to light off at the same time it found it appropriate to burp out half the float bowls lol. Nothing like old moody Italians.
Having watched all the other episodes of this amazing engine rebuild, I was longing to see this episode but knew it may be some time owing to lockdown 😀. What Tyrell doesn’t know about Lamborghinis and Ferrari’s isn’t worth knowing! Uber professional. Harry is not far behind on his knowledge mind you 😁. Love Harry’s garage, love Harry’s farm too actually, always so interesting to view and to hear that wonderful V12 start up in this episode...what joy!!! Can’t wait to see Harry drive the Espada out of the workshop in the next installment....fab!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You probably know, most people here do, but everyone should: Tyrell's Classic Workshop has instantly become one of the best car channels on TH-cam since launching.
I watched that whole vid with a grin on my face and I cheered when it started first time .. Once it's run.. a road trip beckons once the boarders are down .. :)
This and Ian's channel is the best content on TH-cam bar none. Absolutely wonderful. What an insight and privilege to have access to this kind of exotica. 10/10.
beautiful. i had a countach poster in my bedroom for ever. obviously. like everyone else. today i love the performance of new cars (AMGs, the Urus/Cayenne/Q8/Bentley etc V8 turbos) but hearing this decades old V12 makes my heart weep. maybe one day!
Brilliant job! Sounds incredible! I love looking at this engine, no stupid plastic covers, no brittle plastic clips, no zillion wire bundles everywhere. Just nice, shiny, lovely to look at and work with, everlasting cast iron and some aluminium. There is an art in engineering of that era.
My 2 gorgeous children were born healthy, my wonderful wife was ok afterwards and I found myself holding my breath here..................and she fired up first time with no leaks!!! Bravo chaps!!!! So so enjoyable, entertaining and educational to watch Harry, Iain and their associates.
Celabratory Tea and Chocolate Digestives (sat on the engine), how very British of you fellas. That engine was very eager to spring back into life Harry it' egging you to give it a good thrash up to 8000. Please let us be there when you do!
That was pretty amazing...I have rebuilt quite a few engines and it is rare that they start up the first time with no drama. It is nice to be able to rev to 8...but if the engine's peak power is at 7200, due to the cams, you are just causing more wear. Of course, if you need to rev higher than 7200 to keep the engine in the power band when you upshift, that makes sense.
sometimes you do it just for the sound - the original Toyota 1UZ V8 was like that - made no more power over about 5800/6000 but it sounded fantastic if you took it out to 7000!
Thank you Thank you!! So Much for letting us in on this refurbish. I think this was the most enjoyable group of videos you ever done IMHO. To watch a man work on his passion and his expertise on a car that is an absolute icon has been so enjoyable it`s one of the best hands down. Now anticipating the up coming road tests and drives. Go Harry Go! Thank you both for this!
What an amazing shop. True craftsman at work. Amazing to see what they can do. Love the little bits of history like the crackle paint only being taken off for preferred customers. Very personal. Now it would be just an option and a cost.
That was good to see, four really happy faces😀😀😀😀, What a team, Brilliant video, can't wait to see Harry back behind the wheel, 👍👍👌👌, WELL DONE TEAM TYRELL.

I know. You never see one and now we're overrun!
Indeed! a veritable herd of them.

Their TH-cam channel has instantly become a must since launching. Way, way up there with the good stuff.

The 12 cylinder rule.
Yep, my kind of social distancing!!!
This comment is pure gold!
From a few thousand miles away, in front of the computer screen, I feel and share the joy with every one of you
Seeing and hearing the Espada come to life so quickly and easily was a beautiful thing! Well done gentlemen 👏
Fabulous, congratulations to everybody concerned. And thank heavens there was no music other than that produced by the glorious V12!

Probably very much how the Italians built them, a supply rack of steel tube, some jigging and weld it up.
All that spent on the engine why take the chassis back to bare metal and galvanise it. I'm sure I saw painted over rust scale.
Yes,I must agree,the chassis in the engine bay looks like it was assembled from random scrap pieces of steel.🙀
@@coyote5735 might be rust conversion paint to tide things over until harry decides it needs a full shell restore?

Celabratory Tea and Chocolate Digestives (sat on the engine), how very British of you fellas. That engine was very eager to spring back into life Harry it' egging you to give it a good thrash up to 8000. Please let us be there when you do!
The genuine surprise on Ian's face was classic.
After 30yrs in auto engineering, I'm still amazed that you can bolt together all these bits and then just start it up. This vid is bloody brilliant
That was pretty amazing...I have rebuilt quite a few engines and it is rare that they start up the first time with no drama.
It is nice to be able to rev to 8...but if the engine's peak power is at 7200, due to the cams, you are just causing more wear. Of course, if you need to rev higher than 7200 to keep the engine in the power band when you upshift, that makes sense.
sometimes you do it just for the sound - the original Toyota 1UZ V8 was like that - made no more power over about 5800/6000 but it sounded fantastic if you took it out to 7000!
What an incredibly talented man Mr Tyrell is and his team, I just hope this talent and knowledge is passed on.Brilliant.
Who else was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when the engine fired up?
Everybody!
Couldn't help but clap - and installed a few engines myself - nothing quite in that league tho
I laughed out loud and then started crying a little. Glorious stuff!
Water came from my eyes :')
Smiled like a kid for minutes on end, what a sound
Thank you Thank you!! So Much for letting us in on this refurbish. I think this was the most enjoyable group of videos you ever done IMHO. To watch a man work on his passion and his expertise on a car that is an absolute icon has been so enjoyable it`s one of the best hands down. Now anticipating the up coming road tests and drives. Go Harry Go! Thank you both for this!
My favourite car Harry, love watching your episode especially the classic cars...
Not much pressure there Iain ....first start with customer and a video camera ...well done guys !
That moment of pure magic when an essentially static object starts its own self-perpetuating motion.
What an amazing shop. True craftsman at work. Amazing to see what they can do. Love the little bits of history like the crackle paint only being taken off for preferred customers. Very personal. Now it would be just an option and a cost.
Genuine elation when it fired up literally jumped through the screen!
That was good to see, four really happy faces😀😀😀😀, What a team, Brilliant video, can't wait to see Harry back behind the wheel, 👍👍👌👌, WELL DONE TEAM TYRELL.
