Series 2 Land Rover Engine Strip Down - 2.25 Petrol
In this video, I take the 2.25 Petrol Land Rover Series 2 engine apart. Including removal of the camshaft, sump, pistons, and crankshaft.
I also have to grind the aluminium core plugs away and demonstrate how you can remove seized aluminium components from a cast iron engine block using a die grinder and some patients.

I take the viewer through the process showing out takes and failures along the way in the hope the viewer finds this useful. I use my micrometer to measure the shims and a spring gauge to measure the preload on the swivel houseing. Contents 00:00 Intro

How to Repair a rusty Series 2 Land Rover - Welding and Grinding with Half Job George
Переглядів 1,5 тис.3 роки тому
In this video, I repair part of the Land Rover Series 2 Chassis I am restoring. I find a few holes I had forgotten about under a leg I welded on when I was doing the bulk of the chassis repairs. First I cut the affected area away with the angle grinder and a slitting disc, before cutting a new piece out and welding it in. Then I give it 4 coats of my favorite Dacrylite Paint!

If they are this hard to remove, couldn’t they just be plug welded? And if they are needed for maintenance, couldn’t they have a hex head so it wouldn’t be such a PITA??

    Should you pack the bearing with grease? I thought it lubricated by the axel oil.

    • @HalfJobGeorge
      @HalfJobGeorge Рік тому

      I don’t think the oil makes it that far up with ends of the axle, they are normally packed with grease.

    • @DavidParkinson
      @DavidParkinson Рік тому

      Always pack with grease. We used to thrown them with force a few times into a grease can which did a good job of forcing the grease in, or just push it in by hand until clean grease comes out the other side.
