great video what do you think of rhoads variable ratio lifters?

Legend!! Sorry but don't know your name, I may have to do this to all my windows as they have become very hard to slide. I'm not looking forward to that job but if I treat it as one at a time it probably won't be as depressing lol. Your tutoring and explaining was top shelf, thanks very much indeed for this helpful video.

I had a very late model LC 186 BWG/box, 3.08 diff, XU-1 ~ I drove the car the way they were designed. I surely had someone upstairs looking after me ~ I selected when and where I put the throttle down ~ I NEVER took risks ~ I never put anyone else at risk ~ I never had an accident and I was NEVER fined ~ I also did an advanced driving course ~ That gearbox being genuine was geared for Bathurst and mountain roads.. absolute Ball to drive! At high speed on the long highways that car performed superbly and was a sheer pleasure to drive. The entire ~and driver was as ONE ~ I modified the car from torsion bars to electric fan and a Hopkirk seat and full harness ~ A Super flow head and many smalls ~ But in the years I owned the car I did the carbs myself ~ and It worked ~ Only once did I let a supposed former owner of an XU-1 / mechanic tune the carbs for me~ Once I got home it would not even start when cold. So i had to retune in the driveway ~ LOL Good video ~ pity about the mono sound ~ but certainly a good insight to tuning those triples~ ( I was offered a triple set of Webber's, new unused complete to suit, in the box $150~ but I declined ~ give myself an upper cut for that one ~ ) I used a very small amount of light oil in each ~ And Yes ~ I regret selig the car ~ and even the Cooper S that preceded it!

I'm about to fire up my 202. That priming of the oil pump information was priceless. I will be checking it tomorrow .

Really appreciate you putting the time into this. This will help me a lot.

Thanks for walking us through this rebuild. I learned so much from your clear explanation.

used start ya bastard all the time , great product 😜

you could remove the oil cap ans look to see if you have oil pressure ,, and i removed rocker cover to adjust tappets on 186 engines that i built and worked over lol 😜

what about su's i believe they are better for racing,maybe you need to do a test tune on su's etc.

Before turning the fuel screws you should know how many turns are already on each carbie, that way you will know if one is turned more than the other, each one should be the same turns for adjusting the fuel rate of each su? 🦘🦘👌👌 Also did they come out with double or twin points dizzys. 🦘🦘👌👌

Thank you for the reply

Thanks for the info MBS was a great help

i m about to rebuild my carbies .they have been in storage for 30 years.we did nt have utube back then so your video has inspired me to have a go.very well done.cheers.back then i had no idea and just put a holley on it which i hav nt touched in 15 years but the tripples make a 6pack.

Thanks! I'll be getting one of these. My 22yo Forester's radiator just cracked on a very hot day, and I was driving around for I don't know how long with the engine heat gauge on red... And I'm wondering how in hell can there be beeping when a seatbelt is not on, but not for "engine about to melt" ?

Thanks a lot from bushmech old school troubleshoot is so helpful

The guy doing this video is woeful. I’m pretty sure he could talk under water with a mouthful of marbles…talk under wet cement. I’ve never heard anybody waffle so much crap and garbage as he did in this video. I was going to Subscribe to MBS, but on the strength of the guy speaking, I decided not to Subscribe…I couldn’t handle anymore of his “how good am I” waffle!!! I just wished he would shut up and get on with the job. I didn’t watch the video all the way he annoyed me so much!!! I don’t know if the MBS channel is his or not. If it isn’t, do us all a favour and get rid of him. If it’s his channel, I certainly won’t be subscribing.

Thanks for doing the review with automotive industry insight. Shall be fitting same to my older vehicles.

Very nice to know, thanks

Great video. I have an HQ Holden that was passed to me from my father and I want to keep it going to one day give it to my Son. The amount of detail on here will allow us to work on it with advice from someone who really knows their stuff. Please don’t ever take these down as they are a brilliant reference source!!

How do you remove the cam gear? been wondering for years, XU1 perfect cam to use

I got the twin sensor kit and fitted the second sensor to the automatic transmission. All good. Seeya Rob

Great video thanks 👍

Very interesting thankyou. I noticed today that one lobe on my camshaft was as good as dry after turning over by hand whilst doing another job, not sure whats wrong but also realised i don't actually know how hydraulic lifters work! Was on bikes for most of my life so was used to adjusting valves, still dont know whats wrong but have a better idea how they work now at least!

at last a useful description on how to assemble an old stromberg carb. noticed i forgort to fit the top washer, which might explain why i cannot get my avenger to run smoothly. thanks, phiip

Thanks for posting

Hey mate can you do a video on installing and setting timing on an electronic distributor? Thanks mate I love ya videos 👍🏼

Great video thanks mate. Ordering one right now.

Hi this is RC I left u my number. Not sure u call back but any way. I want to say thanks very very much for sharing this very worthwhile and well documented and technically informative reassembly video. We were able to follow it step by step and rebuild the carb as u instructed and it made a huge difference in my understanding of how it goes together and how it all works. Thanks so very much and have a super nice day RC

Great video

that was great thank you for your work:)

Husband built so many 186 red motors , never used 202 non adjustable pedestals , always adjusted them running also , backed off to zero and the down 1/2 turn never had a problem

Hi mate. I’ve just found your channel while looking up the Holden Reds. I just put a video out on my channel of a 202 Red I put in a Caterpillar D2 tractor and it’s going very well. I love these old engines, not just Holden but all makes of this era, and usually look up similar content. I like how you do your videos and your genuine old school ways that this should be done, and your knowledge. I subscribed straight away because this is no nonsense genuine content. All the best in your journey and hopefully you get a good following to grow this channel. Well done mate

Where did you get the 40 thou less rods from? I’m using std 202 9.016 and I think they’re too long for mine since the head has been shaved and I’ve got a high lift cam. Cheers

Good tips

Really good and well made video. I took my CD150 apart without documenting the order of parts so this has helped me with the reassembly for my Triumph 1300 FWD. Many thanks.

Can someone tell me what the advantage is with a hydraulic lifter compared to a solid lifter

I have a weird problem. I think I have a failed Lifter, but not in the usual way. Is it possible they can get seized and hold the valve open? As I had a dead cylinder in my 6L Chevrolet engine. On top dead center, compression stroke.There is no clearance between the Rocker and The valve In essence, the intake valve was never closing It's almost like the push rod. It's too long, so anyways, loosened off the bolt that holds the rocker assembly just until there was some clearance and lo and behold, it runs fine, And I have compression again. But I cannot leave the rocker bolt loose. The only thing I can think of is that the somehow lifter is seized and isn't collapsing. Does that make any sense to anybody here ?

Please tell me, patrol engine suitable or not

Patrol engine suitable or not

Excellent thanks for this video 😊

Very clever stuff. Thanks for sharing.

weird question, i've seen a few vids of guys converting a hydraulic lifter to a solid lifter for sake of getting valve train measurements. i have an extra set of unused hydraulic lifters and accidently ordered the wrong cam if i convert my lifters by turning the guts upside down and eliminating the spring, will it still oil the pushrods and rockers? would it be usable i can get a set of polly locks to set the adjustment, if not short-term till the correct lifters or cam might arrive and time is available. coming from a background in diesel i'm familiar with setting and maintaining solid lifter cams. or is there significant more to a solid lifter than just an oil pathway.

thanks - these are great how to videos

great how to videos thanks

Yep, can be very dangerous. Pressure would have been anything up to 14.99 lbs ( using a 15 psi rad cap)

Had the same thing happen! Lucky it was the bottom on and shot downwards,,,,, he definitely lucky it got his belly but still that's a rough burn! Hope he is feeling better

Do the lifters bleed down! If the engine was not running or newly built they need removing? To fill them? Is checking back lash on empty lifters is a potential problem for instance?

Great lesson thanks! Had a HQ holden forteen years. Great engine! Question on the lifters if they are the same as in a Rover V8 theres a spring inside them. Is the oil designed to keep pressure lightly on the push rod or the spring is doing that? And i never had to adjust the clearances on the 202. My Rover has a high lift cam opening valves 500thou. Cam wear is relatively fast. Every 12000miles should adjust llifters is advised. Im sceptical...If they are adjusted correctly wont the hydraulic lifters keep ticking noise iff the valve train away? I haven't any previous experience with RV 8 my one is running really well done 48000 km and dyno shows ver high ft/lb at the wheels. With me its done 5000k trouble free. Knowing the cam and lifters are a week point thanks for teaching me about this.

Maybe put a WW Stromburg on it for an experiment.

Good. Thanks for the lesson. What about the hydraulic lifter wear? Or the cam lobe wear. Is that not likely in the 202? Thanks for the video.
