If I'm not mistaken, this is a Rolls-Royce - Bentley L Series V8 engine from 1959 (with some modification). It was the last engine in-house produce before they slip up, to be BMW and Volkswagen divisions. It's the power plant for the Mulsanne, even if Volkswagen make new engines.
The 4.0 V8 TFSI is produced by Audi in Germany. The 6.0 W12 was produced by Volkswagen in Germany but the production has been transfered in England because Bentley produces more W12 cars than Audi. The new 6.0 W12 TFSI is still engineered by Volkswagen but build in England by Bentley. The 6.75 V8 is exclusive to Bentley cars this is the one we saw in this video.
This video is probably much slower than in real assembly speeds. I worked at an engine plant that built pushrod V8's every 37 seconds. There is a lot more robotics going on that isnt shown. I do see similar tools and service equipment, but this guy is truly taking his time.
It's a pushrod V8, but it's going in a very expensive car with a high profit margin. They can afford to take more time assembling it. You see the same sort of attention to detail in the assembly of AMG, Ferrari, or any other high-end engine. All the really high-end engines are hand assembled.
I THOUGHT GM was the only company, in modern times, that still made internal cam OHV V8 engines... Ford has their new 7.3 gas OHV V8 in the works, too. I didn't think Bentley was still doing it. I guess, if it ain't broke, don't fix it huh?
Great engine, but a stretch to call the guy that screws it together an " engine builder". He is an engine assembler. An engine builder takes something that may be blown up/worn out, it might be something built from scratch with new parts. An engine builder doesn't get parts handed them on a tray to fit along with a flow chart and a computer controlled torque wrench.
Nice engine but I still think they could have made the headers slightly better, why weld with MIG when you could've TIG:ed it. Edit: The exhaust could also have been TIG:ed, just look at all the sexier titanium exhausts on other sportscars.
Seems like an assembly line where a guy only needs to remember one thing would be more reliable. What if he forgets to torque one of those piston end caps?
It's called personal accountability. He knows his name plate will be on an engine that grenaded in a two or three hundred thousand dollar car, and the whole world knows he's to blame. It's safe to assume he's a very focused, detail oriented professional who is highly motivated not to screw up. Most of these types of engines, like in McLarens, Ferraris, AMG's, Rolls Royces, etc, are hand assembled by one individual who puts his name on the engine.
Pretty cool, not as interesting as the amg engine build video I saw, where one guy built the engine. This looks like several people. However, building an engine, wearing a white shirt. That's interesting also😁
NGK has nothing to do with anything, a spark is a spark it doesn't matter what you use as long as it has the correct stats, NGK are top rated ones anyway!
+Pharez Knights the cost comes from the low number of engine built, better machining, near perfect balance (to reduce noises at minimum), tests and tune from all engines on bank, etc... the process is ~the same as for aircraft engines...
leneanderthalien mass produced engines are NOT less balanced, have no worse machining. at least kinds of Mercedes have these perfect balancing, etc. the tolerances set within the engines already in the 90s was "near" perfect. today you have tolerances you can barely measure and are better than what all the fine tuners at factories did to your engine. its simply how they design it, and how much work they have to put - into the same (or worse) peaces of metals. alone that heavy disc (saw this video weeks ago only) he put on shows how underengineered it is
rhat guy is right it is an a old sistem but its not thinking an a eléctrical motor is not powerfull for a car to be rihgt need a lot of power an rhat electrico consume to much energy and they are to heavy l belived in a new sistem abvle to be powerfull sheep on material light weygh small to compare of anny engines an simple to assembly i have a sistem like rhat cost a lot of time to finded but i gated if yours engines are able to produce 81 explosión per turn i never say anny thing if is not ireally have the ultimate tegnology
Are any supercritical CO2 coal plants in full scale commercial use in the US? Most gas turbines used in power generation are as "topping" plants. But my main point is that you cannot compare 95% motor efficiency, which is energy conversion, to the efficiency of a prime mover.
You ask correct, "China and Germany are playing with new technology". And I hope that the world continues to improve efficiencies as it always has for the last 150 years. But if you are going to make a comparison TODAY, to be fair, you have to use the numbers for existing technology that is in the field. The US grid efficiency is about 40 percent, plant to home outlet. Somewhat better than an ICE, but once again, it is unfair to mention a 95% motor efficiency and consider it a slam dunk.
From a pile of coal from a mine, to the electrical outlet in your house, yes, the overall grid (system) thermal efficiency is about 40 percent. You are correct that the power lines and transformers have about a 10 percent loss.
Fancy flywheel. I like the old school valve train none of that timing chain crap. Not to keen on the cooking hot converters right next to engine. In my life time I have rebuilt several thousand engines and have seen what works and does not.
How beautiful these engines are made
I love these old architecture engines, they should be let in production for ever, so so cool. Stop pissing on "old" tech/engineering.
Now I could work in a factory like that. It's clean, quiet, and airy.

You know work is good when alot of the machines make little turbo noises😂😂
Dear Bentley Santa, please made my dreams come true.

How long does whole process take to pull it all together?
I don't see water jacket in the engine block.
Or the litle hole is the water jacket?
GOOD JOB!
Bentley V8 built by Bentley at Crewe in England, not the most technically advanced engine but still a work of art, the W12 is manufactured by VW.
W12 is designed and engineered in Crewe for the VW group
Excellent, cant beat British Engineering
Troll hahahahaha
Everything Is better than british engeneering, even american. And the W-Engines were developed by VW and not by Bentley ;)
Deepak Gogna nothing better than british engineering AHHAHAHAHHA, take a look at the new land rover discovery 3
Me like this work
Bentley v8 gt3 is from audi 4.0 turbo engine, meanwhile this engine from video is classic pushrod engine. How much displacement is this v8?
Hand built in Crewe. Looks like a well tailored suit.
Nice work
so Bentley V8s are still pushrod??
Right?! I went to double check if it wasn't a Pontiac or something!
So shiny and chrome :D
i guess it is quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online?
@Blake Pablo I watch on FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
@Quinton Alexander definitely, I have been watching on FlixZone for months myself =)
@Quinton Alexander Thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!
@Blake Pablo no problem :D
Todos de branco e luvas, a excelência da Mecânica!!!

What's the point, close the perimeter door in 4:10, if the sensor is missing?
It looks like :-)
I notice that the power ratchets they use turn at a very slow rate .... is that the case?
It is gear driven with pushrods and thick sleeves what more can u ask for . U can pull the heads without messing with timing.

I have a Bentley with this engine. It is signed, but poor vision makes it hard for me to read the signature. I thank you all for your work.
Get glasses?
Why the cylinders are so close to each other? it will generate a lot of heat.
wow pushrod engine in 2013 amazing?
I THOUGHT GM was the only company, in modern times, that still made internal cam OHV V8 engines...
Ford has their new 7.3 gas OHV V8 in the works, too.
I didn't think Bentley was still doing it.

I’d be the guy at the end putting the sticker on the engine.
and i´m the one who drive it haha
6:10 Gary was 'ere
🤣
everyone criticising the architecture; have you forgotten the LS is pushrod?
@@psk5746 this is a 60 year old engine.
they using A HAMMER as a tool!!!!!
compare this facility with Mercedes AMG facility in Germany.
for over 100 years nothing is changed in the internal combustion engine the same metal crop inside of it!
Why are the cranes so ridiculously slow?
Why so quiet at their factory?
+daddytall English sense for humor
Bentley引擎唔係BMW嘅麼
1950 technology with pushrods in a modern Bentley
The overhead cam has been around for over 100 years, Push rods go back a lot longer then the 50's.
daniel951st Burning dead dinosaurs in a modern P1. What's your point?
daniel951st its still the best V8 to run though. Its simple, cheap and reliable.
daniel951st Im also sure Bentley does it because they have to squeeze two turbos in that engine bay as well.
U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ENGINES
👍👍👍👍👍

Looks like an Audi/vw factory.😂
Hi
It is, bentley is owned by vw

Kamlesh
I like job
So is the bentley gt v8 and gt v8s engines 100% made by bentley them self? On the car reviews i see people saying its a V8 from audi is that true
Nice
nobody's allowed inside the cage, except for the cameraman, I guess

good 😉
Can't believe it's this primitive !
Mark x
vw owns bentley
Look like a chevy engine
This engine looks weak only 2 bolts for crank bearings LS is push Rod but have 4 bolts
A Bentley engine made in England!!! I thought they were German VW?
The company is just owned by thw vw group that doesn't keep the factory from being in England just like the vw owned laboghini is still in Italy
+threepot this engine come NOT from germany: its the older V8 based on a american V8
leneanderthalien there's nothing american about rr/bentley v8
Somebody needs to smack that whistling guy in the background. VERY annoying.
That Guy only Wants to hear some music from Pandora Lol !
와 화질 좋다~
good
Sar help me muje job Karna hai
They use NASCAR engines.
i never see nothing out of the of ordinary to make the engine so expensive still using NGK SO WHAT MAKE IT SO EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NGK has nothing to do with anything, a spark is a spark it doesn't matter what you use as long as it has the correct stats, NGK are top rated ones anyway!
Pharez Knights Man on 6:15 make it expensive :)
lolol

Auto-Preise sind überteuert und ihre Backups sind wenige und teuer
Looks like a well built engine but somehow the reliability is still trash.

im digging the fact that it isnt a vw engine . i lost respect for rolls with the bmw engines
For the wealthy only.
still ohv engine? nonsense. NEW DOHC SOHC
i want to make one myself
Sounds like plastic material 3:17

But the electricity to power them is from power plants that are from 30-40% thermally efficient.

V8 pushrod engine. Kinda disappointing really.
low level car

What mind numbingly boring work. No wonder all the workers look so depressed.
