'We're fortunate to have lots of Miuras here at the moment!', said no other garage owner anywhere. Must be quite something to go to work here every day...so nice of you to share, Mr. T!
closest thing ever said said is from jay leno, "we are here today in the Lamborghini section of my garage." At least hes got two Miuras to go with it lol.
This channel is truly UA-cam at its best - never in a million years would such a technical video appear on TV, yet on UA-cam, the audience is tailored by virtue of those who seek out such detail. Extraordinarily well articulated as usual - keep up the good work!
I never knew what the steel ring in older pistons was for. Excellent explanation. The nerd in me is grateful to you. The nerdier the explanations the better!
There is something deeply satisfying about listening to experts sharing their knowledge and experience. None more so than you and your team Mr Tyrrell. Keep’em coming please.
What a series this is going to be! Absolutely fantastic…
Really looking forward to this. Just my kinda of nerdy stuff to enjoy Sundays.
I’m so Chuffed👍
Agree! Off to a great start - thanks Iain
Never too nerdy. Never too long. Always interesting. Thank you.
You wrote my comment for me. The nerdier the better.
@@donalmilmo-penny3085 you wrote my reply.
Fab and many thanks Mr T.
Every time i watch one of Ian’s video, I feel like I’m back at school. But this time different, I don’t want to leave the room ever!
The crank shaft alone is a work of art.
Kapok food on any mantle piece
Iain and Harry
Sunday nights are ace on Yt
😎🏴🙏👌
I love the "nerdy" parts, I learn things I had no clue of.
Very glad to hear that
Your nod to American film stars is appreciated.
Yes, nice, a nerd episode, can't be enough about the technology and the stories behind it.
Mr. Tyrrell should receive an OBE
An....Oh Bloody Ek!....northern👍
Oil Burning Education
As a former aircraft engine overhaul inspector, on units from 4-cylinder Continentals to 14-cylinder P&W radials, I can stand a little nerdiness. Have at it Iain!
I love this nerdy series, thanks for sharing all this knowledge Ian. We all really apreciate your time and effort for making these videos. Cheers from Argentina.
What a fantastic car to work on and having the opportunity to carry out a full engine overhaul, absolutely brilliant, I had the pleasure of working the Will Fiennes over many yrs and carrying out engine rebuild on pre war Bentley and Rolls Royce but a Lamborghini Miura is something else, fantastic work and a privilege to see, many thanks for this video, Mitch 👍👍
Brilliant expose of the Miura oil burn diagnosis 🎉
The Miura is my all time favorite Lamborghini. Back in the 70’s when I was in the USAF I was sent to the LA area for training and on the weekend I visited the Briggs Cunningham Auto Museum. One of the cars there was a Pearl white Miura which was claimed to be Mrs Cunningham’s personal car. Beautiful car that has stayed with me the rest of my life. Dan Gurneys Spa winning Eagle F-1 car was in there being restored. In my opinion the most beautiful Formula One car ever!
The Vandervell bearings were bronze type base for load with a very thin layer of lead for coping with any contamination and coated with a final layer of Indium for low friction.
Does watching Terrell's segments make one a Lamborghini restoration expert? Capturing this nerdy knowledge is important. Thank you for taking the time to do so.
Thanks so much for this video! I love watching these videos, for the "nerdy" bits and for the wonderful memories Iain brings up. More, please. 🙂
My head starts spinning when your camera pans around the shop!!! What a sight!
Thanks for all your great videos! In the August 1964 edition of Road and Track magazine they have good article about this engine. There is a four photograph sequence showing the crankshaft starting out as a 200lb. billet progressively lathed down to the 54.5 lb. finished product.
Never realised the bearings could be that soft. Just amazing the hard work done by the oil. Made my day!
A traditional approach, common in classic British engineering too. RR Merlin engines hard hardened cranks and soft bearings - described as an example of inferior engineering by some Americans at the time. All RR engines had hardened cranks - to maintain the temperature consistently, they never switched off the furnaces (heat, not electric hardened)!
Another great video, keep the ‘nerdy’ stuff coming Iain!
I personally really enjoy it when you go into nerdy detail about the engines and other aspects of the cars you rebuild Iain. Priceless information gained through your experience working with exotica. A wonderful insight for your followers. Thank you for sharing and keep it up. We love it!
How do we get this wonderful man to understand,you cannot be to nerdy.
If you are going to discuss and explain the inner workings of this wonderful engine, it would hardly be complete without some nerdiness. I am not a mechanic but the way you present the information I feel leaves me with just a little more knowledge than I had before.
Thank you Iain for another super start to what is going to be an excellent series.
Cheers, Bob
A masterclass in material and functional engineering. Riveting to watch this unassuming bloke share his historical knowledge as if he were bantering over a pint at the pub. I love this. Thanks, Prof Tyrrell.
Bought a new 1/43 Miura last week for in my display. The one I played with as a kid, more than 55 years ago was not really presentable, or it had to be restored.....! All this Miura stuff has poisoned me, but I'm very happy with that! Looking out for the next episodes, it's all so terrible interesting and I learn a lot from it. Thank you, Iain!
Thank you!
Thanks Iain, you're turning me into an engine nerd, and I'm loving it!
This is so great. Wonderful to watch your encyclopedic knowledge put to real life use! Best from Rotterdam, Robert.
As with every video, you’ve left us wanting more Iain. Fantastic description of the internals of a glorious power plant. Can’t wait for more. 🏆🥇
We love nurdy Iain 😊
I enjoy the "nerdy" stuff. It underscores the detailed knowledge that goes into maintaining machines. It also informs we viewers. A very interesting video.
Absolutely fantastic… Again, I learned new things that are not taught in schools.
So glad this channel exists. The views and likes speaks volumes. Well done 💯
These type of videos are my absolute favourite Mr Tyrell. Thanks for sharing.
That was absolutely fascinating to listen to! It's one thing, knowing about how an engine works, but then! When you listen to someone of your stature, you then understand why people come to your workshop! when you can do another clip I cannot wait! 😊😉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
Lovely and nerdy! Thank you Iain.
Serious nerding out, and loving it. It's not hard to find a generic, basic overview of these engines, but this gives us some of the details we just can't get elsewhere - and the devil _is_ in the details, as they say. Thanks, ever so much, Iain!
This is priceless art
Absolutely fantastic, Mt T. I, like many others, have wanted a really detailed car show for years. Wondefull stuff.
Extraordinary well explained in manners to be easily comprehended by non-engineers. Such a delight again. I can only imagine clientèle receiving an utmost mindful briefing of diagnoses and recommendations from this grandmaster level of expertise. Just wonderful. Thank you so much again Iian.
If this is more nerdy, then we are truly blessed! Fabulous details-shared and knowledge, Iain, which is absolutely why your channel is so appreciated by so many. Thank you - and keep going!
Another great episode. A pleasant Sunday evening surprise!
EXCELENT VIDEO, specially the engine measurements.
I didn’t want that to end, I enjoyed it so much! Slightly off topic, but recently I heard of a 2002 911 Turbo with 680,000 miles. Apparently the engine was dismantled at about half that figure, and no wear was found 😳I can’t wait for the next videos in this series…
Iain is a true master at his craft and still a gentleman.
Nobody else apart from the Man Himself Ferrucio Lamborghini would surely have more respect love and knowledge for the Marque than ‘Sir Tyrrell’ .
This is geek gold Iain. Thank you from Germany. Mike.
Wonderful to see the beautiful Miura getting the best sympathetic treatment, your knowledge is amazing.
Love that the engine originally had Vandervell bearings fitted, the best.
Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful, just wonderful.
Superb video, looking forward to the series
Had to smile at the cylinder to piston clearance part. Way back in the late 60' early 70s I used to thrash my Mini engines, and one time when I lifted the head off to see why I had no power, I could see the crankshaft through the gap between the piston and cylinder. In those days with that simple stuff you could get the engine out easily and have it rebored and the crank reground at any number of workshops in the UK. New bearings and pistons and whatever else I could reassemble in a few hours and the car would be ready in no time.
I like to have UA-cam videos playing while i do other things like work or house chores, but i can't have your videos playing because i get nothing done! They're too interesting!
Sorry for the distraction. Heaven forbid our videos are interesting!😜😜😂
Iain your shows are really amazing fasinating and so well done. These cars are all wonderful and historic thank you for keeping them in order and us informed on how it should be done.
I learn so much from your videos Iain, informative, entertaining and beautifully presented as always. What a gorgeous Machin and credit to it's owners.
This is the sort of content we dream of Iain. Great detail from someone who knows what they are talking about. Thanks so much.
Loved that. What a technical marvel that engine is! Engineering is amazing isn't it; hug an engineer if you meet one 😀. Thanks Scott
"Nothing moves without a mechanical engineer."
Tickle up your bores. Can't wait
Oh matron!
Thanks for the "nerdy stuff". Learning everyday. So much knowledge... #cheers! :)
It must be brilliant to drop your pride and joy and know it will be inspected to a inch of its life and leave absolutely spot on for how many years. I’m the least mechanical minded person you could meet and love all this. That is a stunning Car.
Nerd-tastic!
Please keep them coming, Iain.
Cheers Iain
Fantastic video so much information about the Lamborghini engine outstanding detail thank you 🙏🏼
Great video, love it. Keep the nerdiness up!
All I can say is «more of the nerdy stuff, please, Mr. Tyrrell!»
Just another great Tyrrell video - thank you so much! Your lessons teach me a lot of technically very interesting details which I can make use of while looking into my own "rebuilts".And more impotantly they also drag me away from the tons of nasty information German TV and UA-cam channels are supplying these days. Please please carry on!
Never apologise for being nerdy, that’s what a lot of your viewers like, me included, it’s just nice that we’ve got a channel with no fakeness, or music going on in the background
This content will be in a museum one day. So wonderful to watch! ❤
I am a big fan of your channel. This is your best video. Give me more!
I love the nerdy detail. If you have even more, that'd be great.
I could go back to school at my 70 if you Ian are the teacher, I would never miss a lesson as I never miss one of your fantastic videos!
Lovin' the "geek!"
Great job Ian. I reemember seeing a Miura in the Ranfurly golf club in about 1971. G reg, red with the gold rims. It had glass slats covering the engine, which could be opened (I think). Never seen that feature since.
Très intéressant ! J’adore cette revue de détails sur l’un des meilleurs moteur de sa génération 😉.
This was a gem of a video. I loved the details and the anecdotes. What a series.
More close up camera shots please
That Green Miura is sensational!
Very interesting and very well explained.
A piston with a Pyro Strutt, I had never heard of that.
As well as it restricts the expansion of the piston it’ll also prevent piston collapse.
Also a possibility when dumping fuel into engines at abnormal rate.
I trust you guys take your measurements at multiple positions when measuring bearing or shaft in play and Iain’s playing around with a micrometer was just for display purposes. 😁😉
Awesome content as always. Between you and Harry's garage you keep my petrol head viewing addiction going ❤❤
I m so frigging impressed by the depth of your knowledge. I m speechless. I have two wishes: 1. That you somehow a start a series of lectures - a course even - that we the punters could attend (and pay for ). 2. That in my next life I m reborn as yourself!
😂😂
I like the nerdy details, very interesting
Thank you for this video, very interesting once again!
So much fun "nerding out" on your vidoes.
Completely enthralling though I haven’t a clue what Ian is talking about!
The knowledge of Lamborghini is truly incredible.Truly a master of his craft
Love the wonderful details! Best way to learn. Great to see the diagnostic process. This one “made my day!” Thank you Iain.
Nice, next time i have an opportunity to rebuild a Miura engine, i will just look up these series! Just kidding, fabulous as always!
Superb episode, I absolutely loved it. I liked the b roll editing, could we see some more interior close up shots - pretty please?
A gem. A pure gem. Thanks, Iain.
As delicious to watch as savouring the finest Foie Gras....the care, knowledge and attention to all the engineering detail is absolutely mind boggling and inspirational to watch and listen to.
I LOVE the tech episodes. More please!
Note none other than Bob Wallace had told me several years ago that Lamborghini could never dyno test their engines for power output in period as they lacked a dyno that could rotate backwards
That is true. They could only test the “normal” engines!
Keep the geek coming - love these videos and just superb to learn the intricacies of the Miura engine as you digest each part. Had me looking up EN40b as a material as I am sure a few others might also quietly admit to! Wonderful video - might we be in for a new song once the rebuild videos have been finished?
Unlikely to be EN40B as thta's a nitriding material, not induction hardening, more likely EN16T
@@Spotteroowonder why they didn’t forge the crankshaft?
@@mark4lev Cost of tooling up for it. At the sort of production numbers that Lambourghini is concerned with, they were better off producing billet cranks. Probably a higher cost per crank, but cheaper than all the tooling required to forge then machine. Hence why modern speciality cranks are all billet.
"On days like these..."
Great to learn from your, sir.
Thank you Iain. Interesting content. Enjoyed from South-Africa. ❤🎉😊
Good evening Master . Another in depth and educational lesson from the house of Iain Tyrrell. It's always a priviledge and pleasure to share your skills lain . Thankyou .
That's so kind - thank you!
I spent 7 years machining billet cranks
I spent seven years in Tibet
These Italian cars spend more time in bits and pieces on the workbench than on the road.
If it was mine, l’d replace all bearings, pistons and rings. And get the crankshaft linished. Great job explaining everything, some people do after their engines.
