Glad I found this video! Now that I have seen the proper way to install twin pistons, I won’t have any problem with my own. My machinist will be happy as well 😂 Later, dude….
Are you sure you never worked in the triumph factory in England???!,i only ask because you seem to be so free and easy working on the triumph engine 😁. Brilliant video mate 👍.keep them coming . Peace out ✌️
Thanks, great video! Don't look like TTY, for the hell of it, measure'm, torque'em to spec & measure, for that length 1-2 thou oughta be enough stretch and come back to size, then torque enough so that they don't return to original size, then you'll know what is too much & what can be safely reused.
Thanks for taking the time to shoot video and explain this stuff as you're working. I have a 64 Triumph TR6, so different than this one, but I always learn something or get some good tips when I'm watching these videos (no matter what year or make engine it is.). If I ever get to Baxter Cycles, would it be possible to stop in and check out your operation? I'm on the east coast, so I don't know if I'll ever have a reason to be in Marne Iowa, but if I do, I'm definitely going to come check out Baxter. Which would put me in close proximity to Richter Machining. : ) You should sell some Richter Machining t-shirts if you're not already.
no, i never reuse bearings. at 49 min if you look it the back sitting on the bench are the two old bearings. for time i dont always show every step i just cut out when i installed new.
These type of videos you do are a perfect grounding for me to understand these most beautiful engines.

Those rods looks awesome, like out of a locomotive cf Triumph rods
Great video. Attention to detail shines through, and the layout of the tools on the bench backs this up. You definitely deserve more subscribers.
Thank you very much!

no, i never reuse bearings. at 49 min if you look it the back sitting on the bench are the two old bearings. for time i dont always show every step i just cut out when i installed new.
