that's a bummer

Always enjoy your updates. I really hope you get it ready in time. I am planning to travel to British car day myself. I will be traveling there from North Carolina in my TR6 with the 6-Pack Trials group. Hope to see you there! Mark Wilson

Great job young lady. It’s the same for everyone that has a motor in a shop. Here in the US they are all 6-8 weeks out.

The Spitfire 4 is the original 1200cc model… the Mk3 was later of course with a much sportier 1300cc engine.

as a general proposition you are going to be better of with what you have what you have and finish it off - a new engine is a new engine - second hand is an unknown bunch of potential problems potential things to salvage from the other car - carbs and manifold (but check what your licensing department will allow if you have to run egr that setup may not be legal) brake components suspension and steering, transmission, diff - not sure if you want to make yours in to a show car - spares are good in that you have 'a spare' but if you have another set of components you can work on the spare set without pulling your car apart and when your ready to change over its a unbolt and bolt in - as an example rear brake drums, brake shoes and cylinders - make up a set get the drums re-machined and new set of linings put on the shoes and cylinders stainless steel sleeved and new rubbers you then have a matching set you can swap straight out - same with the carbs (but you can do the carbs yourself) given your going with a new engine i would recommend getting the carb(s) sorted and the distributor checked for wear in the bushing

i love you, perfect point at 4 min mark, ahhhhhhhhhhhh canada please

Work it , Lil sister ...

Saige, could you ask your friends if the gauge cluster works and is for sale?

Hi Saige...what a pleasant surprise with my morning coffee ! ...I spoke to you and your Dad at Ancaster in the spring. Please say hi to him for me. We talked about pink engine paint and since that time Rustoleum 2X spray cans have returned to stores after a very long absense. This is good news regardless of what colour you choose. The Engine Primer seems to be still missing but their High Heat primer should work just fine. They do have a nice pink now. I promised to send you pics of my Spitfire block done in red and will do that asap. The results are worth the effort. Will it last ? Hopefully but engine repaints can be a crap shoot at best. It WILL look great for a few year anyway if block is prepped and free of any oil...use brake cleaner before the primer. My Spitfire will not be there but I will be at BCD if I have to crawl on all 4's to get there. Hopefully see you guys as well. David B.

Dino was made by Ferrari, named after Enzo's son. Was a 6 cylindre. Beautiful lines.

hi, is the spitfire a dead project ?

What are you 16 years old ? You think you are going to make it on here because you are cute? Think again. Every comment is from a person over 50 years old

Nice one Saige 😀 🌟

Quit talking like a “vally” girl most annoying

Great job beautiful

Boop and there it is , nice job Saige ... ^ lose the plate # ( baby bunny safety )

cool stuff Saige. I did the same on my Beetle years ago. BUNNY!

Brake lights.

I have a set of 185/70R14 but im not sure that will fit

I burst out laughing 😆 when you said: "We're not going to judge my driving skills right now okay. That's what we're not going to do." Good luck mounting that Ohrex display to the Triumph. Thank you for this really cool and informative video. You keep creating them and we'll keep watching them! ☮️ on 🌎

Nice Video!

0 comments ? Well , Hello to the The Great White North ...Very nice and informative presentation Saige ... Peace to you and yours ...

wow that's a big surprise. iv'e been all over portugal. love the country very much. the bridge in the background was built by the same ppl who built the golden gate. lisbon is a really nice city. september is creeping. ---- that red dino is a fiat dino with a ferrari V6. it was a baby ferrari and one of the most beautiful pieces of rolling art ferrari ever made. they are half a million dollars today.

Love the Countach!

The Lotus colour is “Primrose Yellow”… quite popular on 60s Triumphs and Jaguars….

What beautiful cars in a beautiful place. Thank you for Sharing these.

WTH ... Globe Trekking with Saige ... Nicely played ...

The Dino is a Ferrari named after the son of the company, Enzo.

Thanks Saige. Some beautiful cars indeed. I think the little blue one you pointed out is a BMW Isetta. Enjoy your holiday

Looking forward to the spitfire update. Cheers, Steve

Some lovely cars there Saige. We spent 4 days in Lisbon Portugal in May. Beautiful city. Cheers, Steve

can you kidnap the bristol 404?

Bonjour Saige & Dad :) Great news for your engine really, and a very informative video! (even if the skimming process doesn't show your very own cylinder head ). Now you can't be beaten on engine innards! 👍👍 By opting for your former cylinder head you won't match the 9:1 compression ratio of the 76 engine, but something closer to 8,5:1 which is still better than the 7,5:1 from your 73 engine. Apparently pushrods are the same in both cyl. head versions and they do not need to be changed in order to match head thickness variation. You'd be wise to carefully check the oil pump at the shop or put a new one.. (don't use the one from 73 engine though as it had eaten some metal chips...) Dad should use special circlip pliers if he does not want to.. Bang the new engine! ;) Fitting piston circlips is critical. circlips are punch made so often have a rounded side and a flat side with sharp edges. Put the flat/sharp edge side outwards to hold loading, not towards piston pin. New circlips are very fragile and you SHOULD NOT! compress them more than what is needed to just put them in (Bang otherwise). Beware, pistons are not symetrical and must be oriented on the conrod (arrow on the top must point towards front of engine). Beware, piston pin and location in piston + conrod bush must all be oiled before fitting. You can help fitting pistons without any damage/scratching by putting them in a can of warm water (not boiling water!) for several minutes before fitting the pins. Alloy expands and so fitting is by finger. Beware, conrod bolts must be very slightly oiled on the threads and under the head. Torque to 44 or 45 lbf.ft with a good & checked torque wrench. Beware, conrod cap is only fitted one way round: easy to spot: Both bearing locating lugs should be on the same side. Here's a link for everything engine: ms-motorservice(dot)com/int/en/technipedia/installation-of-engine-bearings-69 Good luck!😉

Anytime u have any part of an engine apart or even a completete engine when ever ur in a position to change any part seal bearing wateva that is hard or impossible to get to u do it all why its in pieces yeah might not b needed and will add to bubget but will save u wen u start driving and will save time n money in the long run.

GERMAN QUALITY 👍

Analous message ?😳😆

keep the spares but give them a good coating of rust preventer and wrap then to stop water getting on them you never know when you will need them

Every comment I have read here makes sense particularly the hardened valve seat they are a must do. Just to ad though chains and sproc kets for the cam drive will probably will need replacing but even more important is the oil pump it is the engines heart week heart sick engine

Thanks for sharing the block being "shaved ". Sounds like you've found a great mechanic!

Hi Saige, I'm pleased to see you are making progress on your Spitfire. I left some feedback and suggestions yesterday, but just watched something you might find useful. In this video yout machine shop was focusing on reconditioning the cylinder head, which is important. But there is also the rest of the engine to ccnisider. Jim's Automotive Machine Shop channel here on RUclips shares a lot of insights into what they do. It just so happens they are working on the bottom end of a 4 cylinder Jeep motor that is similar in design to a Spitfire's. Below is a link to an 1.5 hour video that goes into good detail about the processes involved. In particular, note how important it is that all the matched compinents are properly and carefully kept together. I hope yiu find thos informative: ruclips.net/video/aP1UM5QXKxg/видео.htmlsi=I6lAnJ7JeRAioN-a
