- With the help of The Apprentice, the motor is all broken down. Initial inspection looks ago, but the camshaft might need help. Critical measurements to follow.

Great to have your "apprentice" in the shop. A wonderful learning experience. We allowed University students, who were affiliated with the SAE program, to spend time in the shop. The guided hands on experience helped them become more familiar with mechanical practices. Cataloging parts and appropriate cleanup was equally important to the actual work. We stressed that the job was not complete until the work area was spotless and the tools were clean and returned to their appropriate places. Great job. I have a TR4A that I have owned for over 40 years. I'm about to embark on its 2nd restoration. It is slared for 2024. We are moving to the east coast within the next 18 months. I am moving my restoration business as well. Be good. Stay safe.
Thanks, Matthew. We'll see if he sticks with it. Good luck on the move and the restoration!
Nice work you two... definitely some engine work ahead.
Thanks, Barry. Definitely. Might be able to get away without any machine work, though, which would be nice. Not too sure about that head, however.
That’s a very rare moment when young man like him interested in getting his hands dirty and greasy instead on get on his iPhone or any other electronic devices. Great job on teaching the young buck, I had auto machine shop back in the day in high school.
Yes, it is. I'm going to take him as long as he is willing to go.
I'm glad to see you are teaching the apprentice to apply counter torque with his off hand when loosening the really tight bolts. I cringe every time I see someone not doing this.
I hear ya. Counter-torque was drilled into our heads in the Navy when operating valves and such, too. Makes me cringe as well!
It had been rebuilt with nice parts. Real interesting to see it come apart. I hope we get to see it measured. Thanks for the videos.
Measurements will be forthcoming. The apprentice needs to learn how to use a micrometer!
Nice town
It is. Crazy during the summer, though, so I try to stay away. Have to show Dorothy off, though!
Looking good. Shame about the cam…been there…
Yeah, I don't think there's much I can do there. The chip isn't in where the valve would ride, but I'm not sure that matters. It also appears to be painted black, like the other non-lobe portions. Not sure what that means (from factory like that)?
@@roundtailrestoration even if it isn’t where it’s hitting the lifter, I suspect it will continue to degrade and introduce metal to your newly rebuilt engine…
@@cheftush Good point. Didn't think of that. Now the mental fight of a hotter cam, bigger pistons, etc...
@@roundtailrestoration and…new lifters to go with the cam unfortunately….it’s a slippery slope…
I wasn't going to get you on the caps for the valve springs, because I can't remember what the technical name is either lol
lol. Rimmer's has them as the valve spring collars - good British name for them.
@@roundtailrestoration I just call them spring retainers….
VTEC, lol these young'uns
I know, right? Silly kids.
