I've got an old screwdriver like that 👍🏻 It belonged to my dad. He was a mechanic to trade and used to tell me that there was no point in just replacing parts... You need to look into it and work out what caused it to fail in the first place. Your explanation about the low oil pressure is a great example of this. After he had hung up his tools he used to alway say you didn't get mechanics these days, just fitters, they plug in a computer and fit what it tells them. Show them a proper car and they'd be stuck 🤣🤣 great videos Mike, I really enjoy watching and learning 👍🏻
Your're dad was spot on there.
Enjoying your 2.25 videos, I'm in the process of cleaning up all the bits for my 2.5 petrol build, so it's fun watching someone else do much of the same work first! Your comments about the camshafts are interesting, I've seen plenty of really knackered ones - always the front pair of lobes and followers.
Keep up the good work, I'm particularly enjoying this series - thank you.
Glad you like them!
Perfect, assembly tomorrow.
Yes what a beauty that screwdriver is. I have of a set of three sizes that my grandfather had before the Great War. Never lost an edge, no split handles, perfect. I must sit down and calculate the torque value for the big one! It has got me out of trouble hundreds of times. Seriously, so much stuff is now use and throw. Sad times, because a good mechanic, in my opinion, does a better job with equipment that feels right in the hand. Mike superb channel, God Bless in these troubled times. Hampshire UK.
Totally fascinating Mike and that tip for backing the bolt off till you feel it click to start is my personal favourite. 👍🏻😉
Right on!
I just love being in Teacher Mike's class 🙃 it's better than any I've had before,
Thank you Tom!
I cannot tell you just how informative your videos are.... I really hope that you conclude this series with a detailed video on setting every aspect of the timing up... as there are no good videos out there on that subject.... you have a great way of explaining stuff and I rebuilt my 2a gearbox successfully following your series on that.
That's the plan!
the timing is perfect as I am waiting for my engine back from the shop soon and will have to go through all these steps.
Just did the final ( I hope) valve / ignition timing - it is as clear as mud in the book! You put the cam sprocket on according to the marks on the sprocket, but when you time the ignition you will find the cam is 180 degrees out by the marks - lots of fun fitting the drive gear and grub screw!
@@BritannicaRestorations This is what Im waiting for... my 1962 2a 2.25 petrol engine does not have timing marks on the cam sprocket...! so waiting to see your video
fantastiv video , mike! especialy the old-time stories give it a nice touch.thx
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Mike.
Thanks for the tip on the front cam bearing wear on the 300Tdi.
No problem 👍
Once again a huge thank you for your videos. The engine block purchased had sat outside for a decade or two, so the cam was in a very bad way and in water for a long while. I purchased a new Cam and found that the bolt hole at the front was a LH thread. I can't seem to buy a new bolt from anywhere, so I either have to re-tap it as a RH thread or get someone to make me a 3/8 UNF LH thread bolt. My engine keeps throwing up a few gotchas!
It is a LH thread for a reason! If it is switched to RH, there is a chance it will become loose when running
They are not cheap, but they do exist 3/8 24 left thread

@@BritannicaRestorations Thats awsome thank you. I have just ordered one.
Sadly they wont ship to Australia. I will keep hunting.
I found a local machine shop that made me one. $100 in the end, which is quite expenisve compared to the $2000 I paid for the whole vehicle :-)
You make very Nice and interesting video’s. Thanks Mike, keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Glad you like them!
Coming on nicely 👍
Thanks 👍
Y'know...that red VHT colour on the engine is growing on me. What with the brass colour plugs, It's gonna look the dogs danglies with the black head/rocker. Be a shame to put in in a vehicle and use it. To me, when it's done, would look just the job on a stand in my living room...
Hi Edd, Great video, You talked about replacing the camshaft without removing the cylinder head. Is it also possible to remove the cam followers without removing the cylinder head?
Sorry, no.
Don't think we didn't notice the line from the song snuck in there Mike.
I think you need a bigger screwdriver!
Mis-sold to me as a jewellers screwdriver...
Never seen a screwdriver like that 😀
Brass cam follower i fitted as removed f is front faceing engine
wow just noticed 109 likes lets make it 110 all in the family
Is it worth installing a defender camshaft on a 2.25l to gain more performance? Talked with a guy from Rovers North who told me it would give me better performance.
No idea -- not touched a 2.25 for years
Mike are there any power upgrades for the 2.25 petrol you think are worth bothering with? 8:1 heads, high lift cams etc. or is it all money for old rope with these engines?
Pretty much a waste of money in my opinion - this engine was not designed to be performance
I put a 2.5 cam from Turner in my 2.25 they recommended when I rebuilt my 1967 80". I think it idles less smooth at idle than the original 2.25 Cam. I saved the old cam and may put it back in if I ever need to tear down again. Wish I would have seen this video before I did my rebuild 3 years ago. I've been a mechanic and worked in the trade for 40+ years, and learn more every time I watch one of Mike's videos.
Can I ask what make abs model that dial indicator is please ? Looks nice and clear and a good range…

@@BritannicaRestorations Thank you !
I wish I could swap your brain 🧠 for mine, I’m a nurse but so rubbish at mechanics xxxx
Funny that = I am a mechanic and rubbish at nursing! lol!
Actually, all of Mike’s talk about oil pressure is exactly what Starling’s Law uses to describe blood pressure. Think laterally.
Oh but you are NOT rubbish at mechanics, for you practice it everyday! - To me, anyone medical (Nurses, Doctors and Surgeons) are ''plumbers, electricians and mechanics'' of the body. The plumbing being the veins and arteries, the lungs, kidneys and liver all working as the oil/blood filters and the heart being the central fuel pump. The electrics would be the nerves and the central control unit/CDI and fuse box would be the brain.
