  3. Have done that. Just did not take the pictures. Was pretty cool.

    Side note, one side benefit of ethanol is cleaner internals on an engine.

  4. If your old British car isn't leaking, the crankcase is probably dry... or something like that. Great video especially at the end!

    1. "If they ain't none on it, they ain't none in it", said in a Piney Woods NC accent beside a Wright 1830 installed on a Piedmont DC-3 (C-47 but...)

  5. Interesting, but I missed the part where he re-tapped the 3/16th flange widget.

  6. That's a lot of love going into both the engine and the video.

    I'm surprised he didn't re-surface the flywheel though. It looked like he re-used the pressure plate and clutch disc too. Hats off though, I bet he had fun.

  11. I have restored two old BMC 4-bangers, one was from a Frog-Eye Sprite, the other was from an MG A. The SU carburetors were a real sod to get right.
