Another good video guys! Remember you are always welcome to use my compression tester and leak down tester. Fun seeing Josh 1 squeezing in to tight spaces, he's built like a racing snake for a reason. 😉
Your Non Lepricorn Josh reminded me of some old mates in a local pub from many years back, Both called Pat. One wore a hat and the other one didn't. The one with the hat was just called Pat, so obviously the one without the hat was called Pat Without the Hat!
Which then begs the question,can you hook up a vacuum gauge to a running Meteor,what does that show ? And what about a cylinder leakdown tester ? Are such things worthwhile to you ? The more information,the better. Most of the time anyway. Can sometimes lead to chasing your tail,but most of the time ,is an inexpensive way to generate useful knowledge of the internal bits.
Can't give you exact figures but tank drivers were generally short by today's standards. Same applied to London transport buses. They were designed for an average 5foot 6inch driver. So, at 6foot, I had to stoop slightly to get proper vision. Not an option in a closed down tank. AEC Militant MK2 "knockers" and Bedford RLs were about right for me. Incredibly crude seating in an RL but strangely comfortable to drive long hours day and night.
@@Mr_Springy I am sure it was just a miss in the explanation while making the video. Full throttle and choke open gives maximum gas entry which is what the factory compression test figures are based on. Closed choke or throttle would admit less air to be compressed and therefore a false reading.
I think it was just a miss in the explanation. He may not be a trained Instructor but, he does know what he is talking about and tries to keep it simple for non experts to enjoy.
@@tinkeringwithtanks The stuff is decent quality. The spanners, sockets etc are pretty good, decent material strong enough. Their drill bits have a good grind on them. I also modified a disc sander to make a slow speed grinder for sharpening carbide turning tools and scrapers. All in all I find their stuff to be good value.

The Stores. The heart that keeps a living collection alive. Static exhibits may just as well be fibreglass replicas.

Cant wait to see more .. anything you guys do looks interesting !~!
Another great vid fellas! There’s something very satisfying watching you blokes working on these magnificent machines.
Nice. Exciting stuff coming our way. Thanks.
Enjoying these, makes me want to visit sometime.
A leak down test might help diagnose poor starting due to sticky valves or poorly seated piston rings.

Another Fab video.......
Gets you wondering, how small were the tank wrenchers in the 50s/60s/70s?

Well done! Great work.
Thanks.
Why not put a push on airline type connection on the adapter for speed ?
😎👍
1 word. Procure Headlamps.
Friar Tank?
I hope you had the throttle wide open and the choke off or your readings mean nothing!
Why? Genuine question

There's nowt wrong with Parkside.
I guess maybe they do some alright stuff, haven’t found it yet though

Possibly the most misinformed bunch of comments from armchair experts I’ve yet to see yet
I suppose that compression tester was made in china. Usual crap inferior parts break as soon as you use it. No quality control whatsoever lol 😂
