    Possibly THE most impressive bit of DIY engineering I've ever seen.

    Christian's engineering skills are in a class of their own. attention to detail and explanation that even a layman can understand.

    Thanks for condensing Fabian’s engine rebuild series into one very enjoyable package Muths! And I want to pay extra tribute to Herr Muth Snr who obviously inspired Christian’s interest in engineering and his never say die attitude to problem solving, and to son Robin, who is not only a chip off these older blocks, but obviously on his way to being a stand alone talent in his chosen field of blacksmithing. And Vera - proud mother and the perfect foil for Christian’s teasing banter, and possessed of the most incredible technical memory of any TH-camr! Cheers again guys.

    @charliemyres5450 ปีที่แล้ว

    Most impressive ingenuity Christian.
    If I may make one suggestion, it is to wash the engine block crank-case and cylinders with hot soapy water after degreasing it. This ensures that any grit from honing and machining, is washed out of the macroscopic voids in the cast surfaces. I washed my block twice on my Rover V8, along with a vigorous hosing.
    The bores start to rust as soon as they are dried, but a quick squirt of WD40 soon stops that and surface rust wipes off with an oily rag.

Vera, when possible, talk to the people in the begining and at the end, to like, consider subscribe and do a comment related, about the video, ideas etc... This helps a lot in engagement.
