OUTSTANDING. Great to see you and your dad working on your car. So many parents don"t do that any more. I"m 61 and still remember my dad helping me on mine. Good job to your Dad. 👍😎.
If I worked on a car with my father, who was a mechanic for many years, I'd have to teach him how to use a CANBUS and all the other associated computer-related things cars rely on these days. It'd be a total role reversal.
My dad taught me basic maintenance on his lawnmower then told me if I wanted a car in a few years I'd better start knocking on doors. One day he was adjusting the valves on the 79 Corolla he had and got it wrong so I read the manual and pointed out he used the wrong line on the balancer and he supervised me adjusting the valves. Long story short I bought it from him when I was 15 and started at Toyota when I was 18 and now have my own small repair facility. Thanks dad.
It was especially fun to see you working with your Dad. The smiles when it started for the first time brought back a lot of memories of working with my Dad and my older Brother on motor bikes and our first cars. Looking forward to that first drive around the yard.
Knowing your dad and seeing the look on his face when it fired the first time was priceless !!! Yeah setting up those shins and buckets is time consuming with the way those cams are designed!! Awesome to hear it fire!! 👍👍
GREAT! The intake fitting that is now plugged off [the high idle cause] was probably for providing vacuum to the brake booster - and could still be used btw if you go vacuum assist - she's gonna rock n roll !!!
I was thinking the same. Brake booster may have been an optional/rare feture or just upgrade in newer models so that might be the reason why it is missing on the other engine. Before disc brakes brake boosters were not that common since cars with drum brakes does not need that much hydraulic force.
Fantastic! Took me back to similar projects with my boys, 1am in the morning, workshop filled with first start exhaust, can't hear, and laughing like fools. Nothing quite exotic as that beautiful jag but wonder memories you'll have forever. Thanks for bringing us along.
That little port on the bottom of the intake manifold is the vacuum source for power brakes. :) The valvetrain set up looked just like my 1958 1300 Veloce Spider Alfa Romeo. Had luck that two of my dad's friends owned a Offenhauser race motor rebuild shop and the small Offys used the same cup and mini cup system and they were able to grind the cups to the proper settings.
Priceless moment with you and your father getting the engine to fire the first time. The expressions on your guys faces was funny 😄 So cool👍 That engine took off quick and loud lol. I’d probably pee my pants😆
Vince, I hope you enjoy your new job? When you start it, but in the meantime I am enjoying very much your present videos especially seeing Bruno helping you, a very special time together, treasure every minute mate😊 It wasn't luck in it starting, I'm sure like every other thing you have built so far you took your time to prep, clean and make sure it works to the best of your ability. and your dad was being your second pair of eyes and hands working With you The engine sounds fantastic I can hardly wait to see you cruising around the property in it and giving Bruno a drive so you can film it also grin Extremely well done Vince I'm so proud of all your achievements. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
@@happyhollowtales9034 oh I bet Bruno, I was so impressed and first start attempt as well, the look on both your faces was priceless 🤣🤣 the hesitation or astonishment then realisation Brilliant! You could hear the timing was off and just listening to it coming back into time and purring.... Well done to the both of you, It is going to be a big day when the car is driven out of the garage for a casual cruise around the property (yeah right Vince and you will be itching to see what it can do within 10 minutes Max lol I hope Vince gets a chance to take it to a car show or two before he heads off. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
I'm supprised how smooth it runs, no excesive vibration, no wandering about on the wooden blocks. I'm also suprised how modern -ish the engine is for a design from the 50s
Excellent work! I was shocked to see a Jaguar engine in that condition that you got it. I thought any that exist would be in the hands of enthusiasts! Well, it is now, thankfully. I rebuilt my XK120 DHC engine in 1962. It wasn't in the shape yours was in, but it needed new main and rod bearings, crank ground, rings, valves, seats, guides and lots of other little stuff. It was hard to get parts in the US at that time. I'm really glad to see you saved this example. Thanks for sharing your video and greetings to you and your dad from Germany. I'm 81 and look back with fond memories on my car hobby.
I love seeing garage engine rebuilds. When I was 18 I rebuilt a 400 Pontiac engine using an old tire for an engine stand. I bought a new CaM paid a machine shop to do the heads but everything else was junkyard parts. I put 40,000 Miles on that engine and it still ran good 8 years later.
From the sounds of the engine purring, she seems to want to live again! Awesome Job in progressing this far and I, for one, Am excited to see her put back together and dressed to the nines! Now, Enjoy these times working with your Dad, as they often pass quickly and you will have some very fond memories for later on in your life!
Man I am so glad to see you finishing the car, and the smiles on both your faces was priceless, and that engine sounds good from here, when it's all said and done you can say "I built this car from the ground up"...
That was so cool. Tons of hours to get to that point that most don't realize. Glad you are an engineer it's your passion. Enjoy it! World has enough lawyers lol.
Great progress, you must be proud. That hose on the inlet manifold could have been vacuum for a brake servo, or connected to an oil separator for a crank case vent maybe? My '68 MG Midget has the latter.
A double thumbs up. So excited for you and the coolest part besides the purr of that cat was you working hand in hand with your Dad. Those smiles on your faces was priceless.
Can,t wait to see the car run and drive, it is AMAZING that this is after all a HAND BUILT custom made car, the 2.4 is basically a short stroke 3.4/3.8 engine later ones went to 4.2, EXTREMELY well done to have HAND BUILT a whole car making EVERY part of it yourself, GOOD LUCK in new job, i am sure they will be very impressed by your skills, your Father can be immensely proud of you and your efforts you have achieved what many other could only ever dream of doing, i am sure your future will be successful!!!!
So exciting to fire an engine for the first time and she’s not blowing any blue smoke! Nice job and excited to see this project moving under its own power. Simply Amazing!
Such a pleasant surprise to see you back and working on your Jaguar engine. Also, it is very good to see father and son sharing the passion for building cars and engines.
Congrats on running your engine!, !! I know how that feels when you did all of it yourself and not being a pro. That also goes for all the other work that you have done, respect! I am a 59 year old mechanic and humbled by your determination resourcefullness and ingenuity. You have a great career ahead of you, good luck!!
The sense of joy you get when it fires up whether its your first rebuild or your umpteenth is hard to match. So good to see you working with your dad on this, its a great moment which was cool to see - top work both of you
This is first time commenting on anything on RUclips: You're doing a great job and have lots of talent! You'll go far! It's even better to have a parent(s) who are interested but also willing to help. I hope once that car is done you keep it and take it with you to you job at the airplane company. Keep up the great work and good luck!
That engine looks awesome and really sounds sweet, nice work 👍. I know you will have to get back to your job but I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming as long as long as you can, thanks.
I agree with others that it’s nice to see you working with your dad. My father was a mechanic who owned gas station / repair shop and he taught me the basics .. I owe it all to my dad and my desire to learn.
I am so excited for you!!! I can't wait to see it running and driving. You are a very talented young man, and I'm sure your parents are very proud of you. Thanks for sharing this great adventure.
Gosh, that reminds me of my first car, 1939 SS Jaguar 2.5litre OHV (not twin cam), 55 years ago sounding just like that - what a great sound! You did a fantastic job!
Great job getting that engine to not only to crank but to start up. I didn't see you install any head gaskets but I'm sure you did. That little 6 cyl will make your roadster fly once you get it in. Looking forward to watching you finally drive the car after all these years building it from scratch. Cheers!
So good of your dad to help out, another clue the timing was off was how slow it was turning over with a good battery, notice how much faster it turned over with the timing closer
Great video , having rebuilt a few of these old Jag engines brings back memories. So over engineered , later on the accountants got involved and the cost cutting started not helped by the original Jaguar staff becoming old and retired or eased out. Re built one with 80,000 racing miles on in the 80's negligible wear on all parts, those days are long gone now. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
This was awesome, you are back, and the struggling to get it in shape..and running! Your dad seems like a cool guy, nice to see you work it to running! Way in the future, and if you still got it, it would be nice too see that flathead up and runnin´ Thanks for your uploads. //Sweden
Fab fab. Love the channel. Learn soo much. The engine sounds good especially that it was standing in a field and made up out of two. Keep up the good work. Adam in the UK. 👏👏👏😎😎👊🏻👊🏻
There is nothing I like better than taking things apart, cleaning them, and putting them back together again in working order. It's truly a relaxing and rewarding experience.
Well done! I figured you'd get it running. My Riley engine has a pressure release valve I had set wrong so on a recent start the pressure shot up and it actually pushed out the O ring on the modern filter I have on it. Oil everywhere but no damage done. Fixed that and it starts fine and runs, but roughly. I just tonight finished a new tubular exhaust manifold for it and that immediately shows the issue. Number 4 cylinder isn't firing as that exhaust runner doesn't get hot. So more debugging needed. Will compression test it then check the ignition. Cool your dad helps. I always end up doing everything by myself. That feeling when an engine you've built yourself first runs is amazing isn't it!
Great work guys, I love seeing you work together, having fun. Also exceptional recycling of parts in an age when so many have to buy everything new off the shelf.😀
having the oilfilter that points up might help installing the engine in the narrow enginebay , the hole in the intake manifold might be for the brake booster nice to see that engine singing its hart out , seems to run ok , a little bit of smoke out of the front manifold but that couldve been assembly oil if youre planning on building headers , there actually pretty eazy for this motor just 3 intoo two into one and the scavenge sequence should be right there , for the racecar i might do a log manifold straight out the side and a straight pipe to the rear maibe use one bend on the front cilinder intoo the head of the pipe to make it look nicer

Amen, no matter the project the first start is the most exciting.
The look on his face says it all. 😄
It's funny how everybody that starts an engine after a restoration has the same smile
:)
That little port on the bottom of the intake manifold is the vacuum source for power brakes. :)

I would guess that is the vacuum that goes to a Brake Servo... not all cars of that era had power brakes. Sounds very nice, it is getting exciting!
That would by my guess as well.
Exactly my thoughts as well.
I was about to post this same thing.
May also be for crank case vent, my '68 MG Midget has that after an oil separator
That nervous face when cranking the motor changing to that big smile when it fired is a great feeling. I'm happy for you!
That smile when it started an run says it all 🎉 well done 👍

It wasn't luck in it starting, I'm sure like every other thing you have built so far you took your time to prep, clean and make sure it works to the best of your ability.
and your dad was being your second pair of eyes and hands working With you
The engine sounds fantastic I can hardly wait to see you cruising around the property in it and giving Bruno a drive so you can film it also grin
Extremely well done Vince I'm so proud of all your achievements.

Yes, it seems strange that OHV engines are still been built in the USA 75 years after this OHC engine was built.
Pretty cool to make an engine that runs out of old, mixed parts. Jackpot!
Fantastic to see the smile on your face and your dad's.
When it started.
Well done

Great job, sounds good. Loved your surprised faced when it fired and your dad laughed.
The panic on your face when that sucker fired off..! Great job though!
Seeing the smile and chuckles from your Dad and you was great. When a plan comes together like that, first try, is amazing.

Gotta love those old Jag straight sixes! I rebuilt a 4.2 when I was around your age and this video brought back loads of memories! Well done.
I really really miss your videos Vince and i hope that you one day will return to show us some of your amazing craftmanship 👍👍
Loved the wide grin on both of your faces after being startled by the sudden start of the engine.
Keep up the good work, cheers from Norway.
Great job. There is something very satisfying about having an engine you built fire off the first time you try it.
Great progress, you must be proud. That hose on the inlet manifold could have been vacuum for a brake servo, or connected to an oil separator for a crank case vent maybe? My '68 MG Midget has the latter.
Congratulations! That's a pretty good job you and your dad did there. By the way the "Cups" over the valves are called Buckets here in the UK.

Thumbs up to Dad for his support.
The Jaguar engine is the most interesting part of a symphony of world class messing about.
So good of your dad to help out, another clue the timing was off was how slow it was turning over with a good battery, notice how much faster it turned over with the timing closer
And the backfiring stopped.
Very nice job!! I loved the look of your dads face when it started for the first time!!
Thank god they showed the equipment. I was getting worried there for a minute.

Good to hear it run! I can’t wait to see it in the car.
Mile stone , nice job ! I could see your racer at a T.R.O.G. meet .
Nice job! That is awesome! Can't wait to see drive
Great work guys, I love seeing you work together, having fun. Also exceptional recycling of parts in an age when so many have to buy everything new off the shelf.😀
14:30 That classic Jaguar purr! Awesome!
having the oilfilter that points up might help installing the engine in the narrow enginebay , the hole in the intake manifold might be for the brake booster
nice to see that engine singing its hart out , seems to run ok , a little bit of smoke out of the front manifold but that couldve been assembly oil
if youre planning on building headers , there actually pretty eazy for this motor just 3 intoo two into one and the scavenge sequence should be right there , for the racecar i might do a log manifold straight out the side and a straight pipe to the rear maibe use one bend on the front cilinder intoo the head of the pipe to make it look nicer
Doctor, we have a heartbeat.
Now we just need to transplant it!
Congrats! I had the first engine-in-car start for my own build this summer so I fully understand your excitement.
I never had a moments doubt. Congratulations to you both on a tremendous job well done.
Great to see you working with your Dad on that engine.
very very nice, its so great to see that engine run again
love your videos so much, hope we will see a lot more videos
So happy to see the second video in a week. Looking great!
Congrats folks, that was awesome.
Looks like she’ll be a good mule for working out all the bugs. Sounded pretty nice.
Awesome progress and first start! Thx for bringing us along on your journey
As with many things you always remember your first engine rebuild
Awesome man. The smiles were unavoidable once it started.
WOW!!! It RUNS!!! Sounds great, too! I'm so impressed with your progress- and excited to see what's next!
Really great progress. Great smiles when it started! 😃
