Great to see the young guy getting involved. Not yet a heads-down wrench monkey, but it is a great introduction for him. Something that 10 years form now, he will say... "Hey dad, do you remember when we took apart that engine...?" Thanks for sharing.... Mike
@@roundtailrestoration It's great to get them involved. My oldest son is getting married this weekend and wants to drive away in my 68 Camaro (unrestored). I have been doing many small projects to it to get it ready. Last night and tonight he came over and we worked together to upgrade the headlight circuits to add relays. It was a great project and like you, always fun to work do project with the boys! Cheers!
great job well done, helpers are a great thing - i learnt a lot from my dad without knowing i was "learning". be nice to him as he'll be the one choosing your retirement care home 😉
It is great that you have a helper this time. Mine is on stand by too for when I start the GT6 engine, I just need to make time for it. Those head studs are all different, they vary by 3 - 4 inches. Some go deep, other ones just below the gasket surface, so it is best to follow the manual when you put them back, it is not worth trying to memorize the position.
so here is s funny story...I spent freaking an hour trying to mount my one 1500 engine to an engine stand. Only to realize then, it's ALOT easier to mount the 'mount' to the engine....then hoist and put on the stand..... (sometimes your mind gets tunnel vision)
Reminiscent of me working with my Dad on a Willys many moons ago. The world would be a better place if Dad’s today would do the same. Well done
Thanks, Michael.
great to see your son involved Chris. great tutorial.
Thanks, Graham. More to follow!
Cool! Nice to have a helper. Some day, he’ll be showing you stuff 😉
That's the plan!

Thanks, Mike. He's getting the hang of it.

Lol, very good point! Guess I'll have to let him drive it.

Oh, yeah. Definitely not going to guess on those!
Nice team work. I hope it all measures out well. It is going to be a fun car.
Thanks. I'm cautiously optimistic because it looks like it was rebuilt, but not run too much afterward. We'll see!

Oh, I did the same on my Spitfire engine. At least a hour. But, at least you only make that mistake once!
Ah, an apprentice eh? 🤔
Yes, sir. We'll see if he is strong with the force. Too early to tell.
When you are filming for any purpose it’s not a good idea to stand in front of the camera 😮
Yeah, sorry about that. Still don't always get that right.
