Elin, just so you know. I just sat through a very long advertizing while waiting for your video to start. I am told that this is what it takes for you to earn some income from your channel. I'm happy to do it for you. I use permatex indian head sealer. In the future when torquing main bearings, you start from the middle and work your way out. I don't know why, it's just the way I was taught.
Thank you, Bob, I appreciate it :) I allays follow the pattern to tighten the studs on the head, but I never knew that was valid also for the crankchaft. Good to know. Thanks!
Oooh, the ads are a good thing :) As long as there are people to watch them. I just need another 500 000 people like you guys and I can retire from official work and do only restorations. For now I am happy I have what I have and I appreciate each and every one of you!
hello again i am not always commenting but i am always waiting to see whats next. i like that you and Cheftush got together. i wish i was closer to meet you guys both in person.I am in ottawa but maybe sometime i will motor down to Toronto' always thankful that you post new videos and go back often to review techniques you use. i wish you would name the products used to build like the gasket maker etc.that is great thanks and keep it up
Thanks, Oliver! Yeah, Ottawa is not that far away. Did you read Cheftush's comment? Do not miss that invitation, I've tried his BBQ and believe me it was delicious. He barbecued in the rain especially for me and my son! Let's go... I thought I was naming the products. I mentioned a couple of times the gasket maker I am using - it is Permatex - aviation form-a-gasket. Also the Chem Dip, the Mothers - aluminum polish... I am not using that many products anyways.
Great video as usual. You're braver than I, though, to perch the gasket maker pot on top of the crank shaft. I'm sure I would have spilled it everywhere inside the engine.
... and we thank you. BTW, watching you bore out those cylinders earlier was a thing of beauty. That seems like an essential piece of kit for engine rebuilding.
Really, that's great! So I can stop watching your videos now. That was the only reason I was following you, I was looking for my spacer on the floor LOL Was it next to your little clip?
Well that was what was recommended in a video I watched about engine rebuilding and I tried it. It worked very well so that is what I am using since. And I am really happy with it.
I saved them as spares for this very reason - I already lapped the originals and I didn't want to do that again. Oh, it is warm... ish... already. I am just behind with the video editing. The footage is almost 2 months old. This engine is in my 66 Spitfire and I am driving with it for 5-6 weeks now.
Elin,
Now that you had wood to hammer in, you are also my favorite woodpecker besides being my favorite metalpecker!
LOL :)

Bob, sometimes YT just pushes an ad that the owner can't control. It sucks, but it's part of getting a free service.

Looking good.
Oliver Bestman your welcome to visit any time Oliver. We'll invite Elin and have a BBQ. Cheers, Tush

You know I will have to cook myself soon for good 7 weeks. This means I will be permanently hungry. So I am taking that seriously :)
Great video as usual. You're braver than I, though, to perch the gasket maker pot on top of the crank shaft. I'm sure I would have spilled it everywhere inside the engine.
LOL, the engine will never leak again...
Always looking at the bright side, Elin!
Wow! Much easier to install the sealing block here than the TR6 rebuild.
Well, I learned my lesson :)
... and we thank you. BTW, watching you bore out those cylinders earlier was a thing of beauty. That seems like an essential piece of kit for engine rebuilding.
Yes, never order parts at 2am! Looking good. Does on of the set screws on the rear main seal have a copper washer on it like the TR6
.?
OH! and I think I found your spacer.....
Hmmm, I thought all of them were copper. I used the old ones anyways and to be honest I didn't pay attention. No you make me worry!
Really, that's great! So I can stop watching your videos now. That was the only reason I was following you, I was looking for my spacer on the floor LOL Was it next to your little clip?
Why not use a good fill with Permatex Gasket Maker Grey instead of that wood stuff?
Well that was what was recommended in a video I watched about engine rebuilding and I tried it. It worked very well so that is what I am using since. And I am really happy with it.
Did you keep the intake valves? I remember that you lapped the originals. When will it get warm up there, you're always dressed heavily!
I saved them as spares for this very reason - I already lapped the originals and I didn't want to do that again.
Oh, it is warm... ish... already. I am just behind with the video editing. The footage is almost 2 months old. This engine is in my 66 Spitfire and I am driving with it for 5-6 weeks now.
"I've got wood and I'm going to force it in..." ? C'mon! 11:52
LOL At least I used some liquid gasket sealer LOL
Wood in a engine... who would have thought... well not me anyways. :)
Weird, right? Wood, paper.....
In the next video, Elin will be using a wood lathe to carve a new set of exhaust valves. ;-)
Cork gaskets?
Never order parts after more than 3 beers, either. Or do online dating. At 2am.
LOL, I will take that in consideration next time. LOL
