OMG! It's sooo cute! I think that's the same one my Civic uses to start the "real" engine! HAHA, sorry, have to joke. Cool vid, love watching a pro do their thing when it comes to a rebuild. They make it looks so easy, then I try to change a lightbulb and end up in the ER. lol
Just wondered when the dizzy, alternator, starter motor, clutch slave and thermostat/housing are going on? Didn't notice the gearbox output universals either. Great to see a Proper Mini engine get some tlc. I would have liked to see more of what was going on at the radiator end of the block, it was obscured from veiw. Really enjoyed the video though. Have you used roller rockers in the valve train, couldn't quite make it out? (Should've gone to a well known optometrist eh? Ha ha).
As far as I'm aware there was a "pancake" plate between the head and the thermostat elbow which allowed for a heater take-off. Or it was between the head and the water pump, not 100% sure.
It's a VW / Porsche 313 engine stand. You can still find them second hand, but there are also remakes. I don't know exactly which engine this arm was designed for (you can get many arms for the 313 stand, we've had it for ages). You might have to drill an extra hole to fit the A-series engine.

Something tells me that this man has done this once or twice :)
Very enjoyable video. Cool engine stand, cool music, cool rebuild. 👍
Love it! Nice job. Nothing like working in a clean workspace on something like this. There is something so relaxing about a job like this.
If only we could all work that quick 😂. Good job 👍
Good job👍🏻

A series engine is one of the best engineered engines built

Increíble, buen trabajo.
Easy when it's all laid out for you
How much does this cost through a company or how much does it cost to do it yourself
Hey, how many time does it take to Build that Engine?
Why did he remove the centre main cap then replace it?
Can you still get genuine BL/Rover parts for the A-series?
Sure
Put An AC induction motor in it.
what is he doin with the glass block at about 2:50? measuring the volume?
Yes, that is used to calculate the compression ratio, one of the most important specs of an engine.
I just realised that my engine hasn't got the heater control valve hole on the block?
I don't think all of them have them. Only certain years, don't take my word for it.

Where can i get that engine stand?
