When we use to test those ignition leads we’d do continuity with ohms reading. Then use a Megger insulation tester to make sure the HT lead wasn’t leaking to earth. Good vlog, personally I enjoy the technical talk & explaining 👍
Thanks + many of the first will be last! Also, I think you will find that Samco, not sure about anyone else, can supply silicone hose in various colours including olive green, black and grey (or blue).
The cylinder numbering on Aero Engines by convention runs from the propeller end - so number 1 nearest the prop and because the Meteor is derived from an Aero engine that's why it is like it is. Fun fact - Jaguar XK engines are also numbered the Aero engine way (number 1 on an XK is at the clutch end) because at the time, Jaguar had pretentions. :-)
Fantastic video great job it’s so interesting I really enjoying all the videos keep the great work going I’m so glad you are getting all army trucks tanks back on the road 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 thanks
Cool that DDR and USSR did not invade us in the 6o`s...... Most of our tanks would be in service changing spark plugs......... With the optinal tool...... Great show guys ....! 😃!
Amazing stuff, to me. I've not been able to tinker with engines since the 80s (company cars etc) and these days I take one look and shrug. Sure there's an engine there under all the plastic covers. Must head over for a visit sometime.
I thought setting the ignition on my 71 Norton commando was bad, Seeing as the factory marks were so far out. but you have another 10 cylinders to worry about. Great content, enjoyed the details.
For those that don't know or notice that RR don't use gaskets and rely on the precision of the mating surfaces to seal. A smear of Hylomar is used to stop oil weeping.
Dear Mates, I am a huge fan of your RUclips channel and as I want too see more of your great work I would like to buy some of your merch if possible. Do you have some hoodies left in storage? All the best and thank you in advance
Used to strip whole engine and rebuild (Base Over-hall) these. Good idea to check backlash on pinion gears. The black data plate, could you let me know what was stamped on it please?
@@stewartbrown8115 We had to stop doing a full run in as the fuel tanks ran out too quick. I was at 31Cmd Wksp. Such a privilege to be able to work on them.

Great to hear that someone still knows the true value and uses for Hylomar. A lost art to many but those that know, know!
It’s also a lovely, bright blue.

Clever stuff right there... Haven't done stuff like that since my apprenticeship days many, many moons ago...!!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching a very complex procedure 😊

Another great video guys! I can't wait for part 2.
Very interesting job well done , experience is everything , look forward to next episode
Really interesting, like the detail even if I don’t see me spannering on a 27 litre RR engine anytime soon!
Great to see another "Tinkering" challenge. If I ever get to your side of the planet I will visit for sure. cheers, Butch.

😃!
in serious we had so many of those engines they'd just swap them out and possibly junk the old one for anything
Great video thanks to all
I believe its one of the best engine looking and sounding

Great now I have to watch a video timing a engine that I’ll never work on. Lol
Brilliant as usual, many thanks!
Thank you. Very cool. I'm really hoping that you ground hop this baby and share that with us. I can almost hear it already.

That was a great video, looking forward to the next instalment. 😎
Fabulous. Very skilled. Thankyou.

My old wagon (09FD37) is in the background!!
Top stuff!
Excellent
Love to have seen the data plate on top of the rocker cover,to see where & when the engine was overhauled
that rolls royce tool looks like a tool to undo the nut on a vespa fuel tap.

Yes I used on them on base overhaul at Chilwell,especially in the engine test house

Have I got this wrong - or is the factory pale green applied to RR engines almost the same colour as the green applied to old-school Detroit Diesels?
Standard British military colour duck egg blue

The colour is defined in British Standard B.S. 381C.
