Can you detail the exact brand / type of double-sided tape you're using. I need to do both my Series 2a and 3 soon as they're both leaking 🤣
It's ultra tape from toolstation, I've been using it for years on dozens of projects and never had any issues.
Just seen your video. The Skew gear ETC6139 you pull out the engine appears to have a fixed flange on the bottom, and a split Bronze bush? Is this a early 3 bearing 2.25? At 12:07 you show the entire skew gear, which looks to have a Black Thrust washer sitting directly under skew gear teeth and above the Bronze bush. The later Skew gears used a one piece bronze bush and were assembled from below with a thrust washer then locking collar below the Bronze bush. On your example, a Trust washer appears to sit above the bronze bush, directly below the Skew gear teeth. With a fixed grub screw, this would change the contact heights of skew gear to Cam shaft, Pump drive, Etc.. Can you confirm or explain this difference. Or is there yet another version of the Skew gear ETC6139 I've not seen yet? I have two different versions both with the same one piece Bronze bush, part no: 522745. Thanks, great vids
Hi, it was an early 3 bearing engine, I can't recall what the skew gear looked like without re'watching the video (it was a few years ago). I never knew there were different skew gears available. I did a little research before building that engine and couldn't find any reference to different gears.
Thank you, changing the runners on my sliding window early One Ten and this video is very helpful.
fhanks great tips any advise on fitting the rear main seal i failed ive got to tek bloody engine art agen
The timing Cam wheel on the end of the cam shaft has a number of splines that allows for fine advance or retarding by a few minutes.. I'm hoping this may allow This might allow 20 degrees to be obtained bang on, if the pump drive is still out.... I see you have the 3 bearing 2.25. The 5 bearing 2.25 has a slightly altered Skew gear design, with one piece bronze bush and a thrust washer. Nice to see it being done...
Thanks for the input. 🙂👍
Wow, you are a genius... Do you really think it was worth it to make a video of that "tricky" exchange... Numb nuts, you say... Dum nuts placing comments 😂🤔🤔🇿🇦
strarts up like a savage beast!!
That’s a fine looking Landy back there...reminds me of my ’74 SIII in the same colors.
Thanks, 🙂👍
Just finished mine. One of my door tops had a bit of rust that needed to be welded. Mine have the window locks on the top that are riveted in place. They had to be removed to get the window out. I also didn’t have the small spacers . I referenced the Haynes restoration manual as well, but it’s always helpful to watch someone. Thanks again Cheers!👍
Thank you for making this video - learned a lot of very helpful tips! Just getting into body work on resto of '68 SIIA.
No worries. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
great stuff.
just blue a hed gasket on my 1978 series 3 have a spare engine from a 2a stripped down at the moment going to do it up and then swap it over i know its a 3 bearing compared to my 5 bearing any ideas.thanks.
A 78 series 3 would of originally come with a 3 bearing engine, and to be honest, unless you're thrashing it off road it won't be a problem, land rover and rover were using the 3 bearing crank for nearly 40 years without major issues unless driven really hard. Why not replace the gasket on the other engine? 🙂👍
Is that a V8? Those axle seals are for V8 only usually?
Sorry, they were on 1980 onwards to stop the front axle oil mixing with the bearings grease
I'm not sure where you get your info, but they're definitely the correct seals. There wasn't a v8 series Land Rover until the stage one came out.
@@retro.restorations it's in the Land rover part number RTC9841CE parts book. Parts number FRC2928 are stage 109 V8 up to September 1980 and 109 V8 from October 1980. The inner seals seen on your stub axles part number FRC3099 Are for 88 and 109 from July to September 1980 only. I looked at my stub axles and there's no recess for the fitment of an oil seal at all. It's 1964
How ever many times do they want the flywheel to turn before the compressor drops off! Just put the decompressor wheel in the third groove, face backwards with a Series2,, with the handle towards you, and it isn't a problem. This lot of cowboys didn't even seem to worry where the starting mark was on the flywheel.
Next thing on my list. I’m refurbishing my door tops though, not replacing. Mine only have minor surface rust . Looks pretty straightforward. Thanks for this.👌
Crimping (using the correct crimping tool) is the preferred method of attaching bullet connectors as soldering makes the wires rigid and prone to breaking. The correct crimping tool does not make the connector splay out so it will still fit in the shroud.
Really good honest and useful follow up video. With some great tips. Thanks for putting in the time to make it for the rest of us 👍
You're welcome. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Glass is not scratched but covered with plastic it can be removed
Good informative video my friend, Is it only me who looked away more than once when you start weldin' ?
Thanks. It's not only you, I do it aswell 🙂👍🫣
Great video and a huge thank you for explaining the back oil seal and how that is installed. I haven't seen that anywhere else.
Thanks 🙂👍
great stuff going to take out my engine out of my landy series 3 5 bearing watching you makes it interest.
Looks like a tidy Series 3. Congrats from the U.S.
Thanks. 🙂👍
What do you do with those 2 inner corner rivits on the new panel?
Working on a same engine now. But how did you pull the chambers out?
What do you mean by Chambers?
Good video, the parts you are using would be really helpful, I am in the middle of upgrading my series IIa and plan on upgrading the clutch and brake master cylinders
They're standard series 3 master cylinders from bearmach, but they're not trading anymore. Im struggling to find good quality brake components at the moment. Brit part have definitely stepped up their game lof clutches have been good in the past, but I've never used their land rover stuff, but I'll be giving them a try next time. 🙂👍
@@retro.restorationsThank you
Followed this today to get my seals ready to go on! Thanks a lot mate!
Great stuff. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Can i ask why 4/1000 of inch each side of the peak on cam
Hi ,Where did you buy the new nuts for the conrod, are they the same as the ones you had on the conrod? thanks
I think they would have been from bearmach, but I'm not 100% certain it was a few years ago. 🙂👍
@@retro.restorations OK.Now the part number ETC5155 is different. The ones My Landy has are the same as the ones you have in those conrods. I would like to get the same type
They might not be made anymore. The ones I had might have been new old stock. I honestly can't remember, I use so many different suppliers it's hard to keep track, but I did use a lot of bearmach on that Land Rover, but unfortunately they're no longer trading.
@@retro.restorations ok, I understand, I ordered new nuts and I follow your video to guide me... do you leave the conrods at 25Lbs or then you put them at 35Lbs
What year is that Landy please? PS If I were to pay someone to do this job on my 1952 80" what sort of money you think that would cost me? would you do it and if so where are you? Many Thanks Simon
It's around 1980 I can't remember exactly. Using good quality parts It's around £700/£800 nowadays for a complete front brake and swivel ball rebuild. Good quality swivel balls have gotten expensive. I'm based near Sheffield South Yorkshire. 🙂👍
Thanks for the quick answer, mine was restored by Ken Wheelwright around about 2000, it then went and sat in a museum in Germany for 15 years, its only done a couple of thousand miles since the restoration. The issue I have is gear oil leaking into the brake drum on the drivers side, you think I just need a seal and no need for full rebuild? By the way the restoration it had was a full nut and bolt job done by Ken who did rest jobs for Land Rover before they set up there own classic department, bit of a leg end apparently.@@retro.restorations
@jackstaenergy it sounds like you need new oil seals. They dont last forever, so even with very low mileage they will leak eventually. If you don't need new swivel balls that takes atleast £450 off the bill, the job is still the same regardless but just refitting the original swivels.
OK great thanks for your help, greatly appreciated. @@retro.restorations
How do you do this if the wire is already harnessed in the car?
It's tricky, but can be done. 🙂👍
Thought it was Ian Beale for a second…good vid
🤣👍

What is this kit please? I need a headlight upgrade!
Google boomslang headlight loom, there around £12 on ebay. 🙂👍
Legend thanks!@@retro.restorations
Like watching your videos. The -40 reading is normally open circuit fault So intermittent fault on the sensor. And if linked to the coolant sensor, reading -40 this would have an effect on the transmission as the coolant temp and trans temp.would have a huge difference. That my theory, but handy to know as I have a disco 3....... also a series 2a engine diesel in bits in my garage, but no time to rebuild it at the moment
Thanks for watching. That's the same theory I have but I can't see a point for it 🤷🏻♂️ 🙂👍
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing
No worries 👍 thanks for watching.
have'nt you got any air ? u need to invest in some air tools man .....air ratchet .,air gun or battery gun and a finger belt sander make this whole process easier IMO
I've got all that and more, I've spent thousands on tools over the years but the problem with rusty classic cars is nuts and bolts don't always want to come out and one buzz with a gun and it's knackered, so I do use air tools and impact tools but only when needed. 🙂👍
Where did that green wire by the dynamo end up going? If you have a push button start does that act like a solenoid? Do you still need a solenoid?
If I remember correctly the wire was for a temp sensor, some heads have an extra sensor at the side of the thermostat housing this one didn't. The push button start is the solenoid so there's no need for another. 🙂👍
Glow plugs, and full throttle, to start. 16:42; tenth mm is 4 thou. Adjustment is 10 thou, so 4 thou is quite a lot.
If you need full throttle to start it there's an issue somewhere. The measurement I was referring to was the timing if I remember correctly (it was a few years ago) I probably meant to say 100th of a mm out either way I was referring to how far out the timing was, so 4 thou of timing isn't bad at all a timing chain stretches loads more than that in the first few miles of running, that's why the fuel pump is adjustable to compensate for it. 🙂👍
What is the tape you are using on the door frame at the beginning? Thanks!
The tape for glass? Is double sided foam tape. 🙂👍
Anyone used a BritPart Zenith? Need to send my original off for restoration but might get one for now until I can sort the original out.
I have and didn't have any issues, but apparently, it's hit and miss, so I might have just got lucky. 🙂👍
Worth a gamble I guess
Thanks. Very useful. I appreciate all your Land Rover videos.
Thank you! 🙂 👍
I have no experience in engine rebuilding but I’ve worked on machine tools for decades . Thanks to your videos with clear , step by step explanations I think I’m going to try rebuilding an engine myself 😂. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
You're welcome! And all the best with your engine build, the feeling of starting an engine you've just built never gets old and if it doesn't start you get to take it apart and build it again. Thanks for watching 🙂 👍
Hi, I have watched most of your videos on the series landrover twice now, brill😊. Please please keep making more videos, without people like you and your experience the rest of us will undoubtedly struggle. Many thanks Wayne. UK Devon 0:29 0:29
Hi, there are hopefully a lot more videos to come. There's a lot of work in the pipeline for next year, and if all goes to plan I will be making new vids by the end of January. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
What is the song name and artist played at the intro of this video??? @retro.restorations
It's Gary Clark Jr. come together, beatles cover. 🙂👍
Thank you for the warning, I have taken mine out and sent away to some else to tango with the spring. Cheers, thanks again for been direct and honest.
I would have hated being the guy who had to fit those small bolts on the track at Landrover!!,
Definitely there a real pain. 🙂👍
Hi mate I used an old water blaster hose
Please come take my 90 and get the old girl back to how she used to.
I would love to, 🙂👍
@@retro.restorations where can I find your contact details?
Can you do it with a multimeter? As I don't have a test light
Yeah, that will work. 🙂👍
Thank you that is super helpful, where did you get the felt channels from?
I think they were from John craddock. Search land rover series safari window channels, if used the ones from mps trading on ebay they were decent quality. 🙂👍
Thank you, I have the sides to fit but the channels are shot! 👍🏼
