When I look at that newly painted engine I hear the beautiful voice of Dame Shirley Bassey singing, “GOLDFINGAAA”! 😂
Looking forward to this rebuild 👍❤️
Very soon!
Aaaaah the good old gold seal engine 🤗brings back memories 😊
Oh yes!
Straight from the first seconds I see seals fitted to the bonnet - only crazy drivers fit them. That 90 definetly was well looked after.
Will follow this very very closely.
Hi Mike, regarding the R380 stumpy, I made a small modification to mine. On the bottom of the bellhousing, I drilled and tapped a hole to fit the same size plug as a diff cover. It doesn't allow to get any tools in, but it is useful for inspection of any oil leaks, clutch and clutch cylinder. Might be worth doing while the engine is out.
I noticed the gearbox was quite dirty and was leaking oil!
I have a 200 tdi to go into my ninety. I was hoping to see the full strip down so I would know what to do myself. Darn.
Nothing special to know - just pull it to bits!
Head off, sump off, front cover and belt off and any other bits - 300Tdi and 2.5 is about the same
Always like to see another project/build.
Judging by the inside of that engine, he brought it back from Morocco. Most of Africans see coolant as an unnecessary expense.
They just think that it is anti freeze and you wouldn't need it in Morocco/Africa. (Maybe high in the Atlas mountains, I would have to check)
Maybe have a chat about the properties of coolant, what it does, anti rust, preserving gaskets etc. Oh, it stops freezing apparently
I am not sure where the owner got the engine from - he said he got a deal on 4 of them.
The block blasted out nice = not something I like to do but apart from an acid bath (which I have no idea where that would be locally) this was the only option.
I never trust blocks now and always replace the core plugs!
I don't think people know 'antifreeze' not only stops the engine from cracking in extreme cold, but has anti-corrosive properties and prevents corrosion due to having dissimilar metals in the engine build
Oh goody gumdrops this will be fun. Looking forward to this. 👍
Hope you enjoy
I like the block colour. You've been busy already by the look of it. Looking forward to seeing it all going back together.
I think this was the original colour judging by the rear of the engine that was not exposed to someone giving it some silver paint
Really looking forward to this project!
Great!
Please post and provide the parts list as you order them and if you can remember torque values as well. I'm a few days behind you with my own 200TDI on an engine stand that i'm taking in the same direction. Thanks Mike, looking forward to more videos on this.
Well, my parts may be different to your build
The manual is on my downloadable memory stick along with parts books
Excellent, looking forward to the build Mike.
Thanks 👍
This will be very educational
There will be a test at the end...
@@BritannicaRestorations I will pay attention and study hard Professor
I have been known to take bribes....
@@BritannicaRestorationsgood to know.
Fantastic work as usual!
Thanks!
You are the man,that rear core plug l would not trust based on the ones you have taken out😊
The JB weld will make a job of it. I will smooth it out and set the new plug in with JB, and it should be sound.
Unlike body filler it does not absorb water/coolant
@@BritannicaRestorations I think Greg meant the plug you left in.
Ah! Now I get it - bit of a gamble. Did they fit the plug as they machined the block due to corrosion? Or did they not have a plug? (All 7 are the same)
@@BritannicaRestorations Your call
The core plug that hides behind the timing cover failed on my 200 TDI 2 days before I was due to drive to Portugal.
Local LR garage didn't have the core plug.
Motorists shop had one that was to big and one that was a snug fit in the failed core plug.
Removed old plug and cleaned it up,filled it with two pack epoxy then whacked the new core plug into it.
Worked a treat and got me back to Portugal with no issues.
The first discovery 200 TDI I bought had low oil pressure. Dropped sump off and their were bits is shell bearings in the sump.
Took a few bearing caps off and all was ok.
Further investigation showed the centre cam bearing had fallen out and got smashed.
Apparently their was an issue with these bearings being loose in the block if the engine got hot and they would come out.
Engine removed,crank reground,block honed and new rings fitted.
Updated cam bearings fitted and line bored and engine re fitted and ran as good as gold.
Thanks for your time mike letting us see what your doing......rather you than me getting that bolt out.....what the hell has gone on there.
Looks to me like the bolt fitted was too long
hello Mike from england, i reckon the clowns have been driving round with no anti freeze / water inhibitor thus the rusty core plugs,just putting plain water in is asking for trouble,
Yes, and for a long time by the look of it!
Why do so many people neglect the antifreeze? It would have prevented all that corrosion.
Already made Stirling progress! Interesting about using JB Weld must be good stuff? Would TIG welding those area be feasible just out of interest?
It may be possible - dunno - the bock is cast iron.
Also, the block would need re machining - not a cheap or easy job to do.
JB weld is excellent stuff, and ideally suited for corrosion repairs like this where there is good backing
@@BritannicaRestorations sounds a good option! Thanks for the info
That core plug thats still fitted to the front of the block looks suspicious. should be the same type as is fitted to the side of the block.
Hi Mike , seeing as your using jb weld to repair the block do you think jb weld could be used to fill in a small scratch on a axle swivel ball ?
Cannot see why not - it does not absorb water and is oil friendly
@@BritannicaRestorations thanks Mike 👍👍
Hi Mike I’m looking forward to this engine rebuild, I’ve got the 200 tdi in my 1993 90(aka wee Fergus). It’s got about 200,000 on the clock and it’s a noisy lump, but it’s strong and runs well. What’s your opinion on the 200 tdi ?
It was a decent motor. Parts are not as numerous as 300Tdi. Getting to the underside of the engine in situ is not easy thanks to the aluminium ladder frame under the block.
It has some good points, but not made in huge numbers
