'We're fortunate to have lots of Miuras here at the moment!', said no other garage owner anywhere. Must be quite something to go to work here every day...so nice of you to share, Mr. T!
closest thing ever said said is from jay leno, "we are here today in the Lamborghini section of my garage." At least hes got two Miuras to go with it lol.
This channel is truly RUclips at its best - never in a million years would such a technical video appear on TV, yet on RUclips, the audience is tailored by virtue of those who seek out such detail. Extraordinarily well articulated as usual - keep up the good work!
I never knew what the steel ring in older pistons was for. Excellent explanation. The nerd in me is grateful to you. The nerdier the explanations the better!
There is something deeply satisfying about listening to experts sharing their knowledge and experience. None more so than you and your team Mr Tyrrell. Keep’em coming please.
I love this nerdy series, thanks for sharing all this knowledge Ian. We all really apreciate your time and effort for making these videos. Cheers from Argentina.
The Miura is my all time favorite Lamborghini. Back in the 70’s when I was in the USAF I was sent to the LA area for training and on the weekend I visited the Briggs Cunningham Auto Museum. One of the cars there was a Pearl white Miura which was claimed to be Mrs Cunningham’s personal car. Beautiful car that has stayed with me the rest of my life. Dan Gurneys Spa winning Eagle F-1 car was in there being restored. In my opinion the most beautiful Formula One car ever!
I personally really enjoy it when you go into nerdy detail about the engines and other aspects of the cars you rebuild Iain. Priceless information gained through your experience working with exotica. A wonderful insight for your followers. Thank you for sharing and keep it up. We love it!
Extraordinary well explained in manners to be easily comprehended by non-engineers. Such a delight again. I can only imagine clientèle receiving an utmost mindful briefing of diagnoses and recommendations from this grandmaster level of expertise. Just wonderful. Thank you so much again Iian.
Thanks for all your great videos! In the August 1964 edition of Road and Track magazine they have good article about this engine. There is a four photograph sequence showing the crankshaft starting out as a 200lb. billet progressively lathed down to the 54.5 lb. finished product.
I enjoy the "nerdy" stuff. It underscores the detailed knowledge that goes into maintaining machines. It also informs we viewers. A very interesting video.
I learn so much from your videos Iain, informative, entertaining and beautifully presented as always. What a gorgeous Machin and credit to it's owners.
As a former aircraft engine overhaul inspector, on units from 4-cylinder Continentals to 14-cylinder P&W radials, I can stand a little nerdiness. Have at it Iain!
A traditional approach, common in classic British engineering too. RR Merlin engines hard hardened cranks and soft bearings - described as an example of inferior engineering by some Americans at the time. All RR engines had hardened cranks - to maintain the temperature consistently, they never switched off the furnaces (heat, not electric hardened)!
Does watching Terrell's segments make one a Lamborghini restoration expert? Capturing this nerdy knowledge is important. Thank you for taking the time to do so.
If you are going to discuss and explain the inner workings of this wonderful engine, it would hardly be complete without some nerdiness. I am not a mechanic but the way you present the information I feel leaves me with just a little more knowledge than I had before. Thank you Iain for another super start to what is going to be an excellent series. Cheers, Bob
That was absolutely fascinating to listen to! It's one thing, knowing about how an engine works, but then! When you listen to someone of your stature, you then understand why people come to your workshop! when you can do another clip I cannot wait! 😊😉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
A masterclass in material and functional engineering. Riveting to watch this unassuming bloke share his historical knowledge as if he were bantering over a pint at the pub. I love this. Thanks, Prof Tyrrell.
The Vandervell bearings were bronze type base for load with a very thin layer of lead for coping with any contamination and coated with a final layer of Indium for low friction.
What a fantastic car to work on and having the opportunity to carry out a full engine overhaul, absolutely brilliant, I had the pleasure of working the Will Fiennes over many yrs and carrying out engine rebuild on pre war Bentley and Rolls Royce but a Lamborghini Miura is something else, fantastic work and a privilege to see, many thanks for this video, Mitch 👍👍
Wonderful to see the beautiful Miura getting the best sympathetic treatment, your knowledge is amazing. Love that the engine originally had Vandervell bearings fitted, the best. Thank you for sharing. Wonderful, just wonderful.
Serious nerding out, and loving it. It's not hard to find a generic, basic overview of these engines, but this gives us some of the details we just can't get elsewhere - and the devil _is_ in the details, as they say. Thanks, ever so much, Iain!
If this is more nerdy, then we are truly blessed! Fabulous details-shared and knowledge, Iain, which is absolutely why your channel is so appreciated by so many. Thank you - and keep going!
Iain your shows are really amazing fasinating and so well done. These cars are all wonderful and historic thank you for keeping them in order and us informed on how it should be done.
Bought a new 1/43 Miura last week for in my display. The one I played with as a kid, more than 55 years ago was not really presentable, or it had to be restored.....! All this Miura stuff has poisoned me, but I'm very happy with that! Looking out for the next episodes, it's all so terrible interesting and I learn a lot from it. Thank you, Iain!
I didn’t want that to end, I enjoyed it so much! Slightly off topic, but recently I heard of a 2002 911 Turbo with 680,000 miles. Apparently the engine was dismantled at about half that figure, and no wear was found 😳I can’t wait for the next videos in this series…
Keep the geek coming - love these videos and just superb to learn the intricacies of the Miura engine as you digest each part. Had me looking up EN40b as a material as I am sure a few others might also quietly admit to! Wonderful video - might we be in for a new song once the rebuild videos have been finished?
@@mark4lev Cost of tooling up for it. At the sort of production numbers that Lambourghini is concerned with, they were better off producing billet cranks. Probably a higher cost per crank, but cheaper than all the tooling required to forge then machine. Hence why modern speciality cranks are all billet.
Good evening Master . Another in depth and educational lesson from the house of Iain Tyrrell. It's always a priviledge and pleasure to share your skills lain . Thankyou .
Wonderfully educational, thank you Iain. Not being mechanically inclined, it is fascinating to learn such intricate details. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
It must be brilliant to drop your pride and joy and know it will be inspected to a inch of its life and leave absolutely spot on for how many years. I’m the least mechanical minded person you could meet and love all this. That is a stunning Car.
Love this nerdy stuff. The craftsmanship, artistry and precision that went into designing these engines is incredible. Glorious machines with personality and soul - you couldn't do too much content like this Iain, thank you.
Very interesting and very well explained. A piston with a Pyro Strutt, I had never heard of that. As well as it restricts the expansion of the piston it’ll also prevent piston collapse. Also a possibility when dumping fuel into engines at abnormal rate. I trust you guys take your measurements at multiple positions when measuring bearing or shaft in play and Iain’s playing around with a micrometer was just for display purposes. 😁😉
Never apologise for being nerdy, that’s what a lot of your viewers like, me included, it’s just nice that we’ve got a channel with no fakeness, or music going on in the background
Had to smile at the cylinder to piston clearance part. Way back in the late 60' early 70s I used to thrash my Mini engines, and one time when I lifted the head off to see why I had no power, I could see the crankshaft through the gap between the piston and cylinder. In those days with that simple stuff you could get the engine out easily and have it rebored and the crank reground at any number of workshops in the UK. New bearings and pistons and whatever else I could reassemble in a few hours and the car would be ready in no time.
I m so frigging impressed by the depth of your knowledge. I m speechless. I have two wishes: 1. That you somehow a start a series of lectures - a course even - that we the punters could attend (and pay for ). 2. That in my next life I m reborn as yourself!
As delicious to watch as savouring the finest Foie Gras....the care, knowledge and attention to all the engineering detail is absolutely mind boggling and inspirational to watch and listen to.
Most enjoyable. Your insight and gentle explanation is appreciated. I've had some experience with engine rebuilds (Saab 99 & 900), so your video brings back good memories of the basics of why and how engines wear. They like being treated gently until warm!
Very enjoyable video, this engine is a masterpiece that lasted so many years in its various forms, a real testament to Giotto Bizzarrini’s incredible original design.

Never realised the bearings could be that soft. Just amazing the hard work done by the oil. Made my day!

That was great , some of the valve stuff I had learned in the old days and it came running back !
Très intéressant ! J’adore cette revue de détails sur l’un des meilleurs moteur de sa génération 😉.
Completely enthralling though I haven’t a clue what Ian is talking about!
