James glad to hear you are doing a history video, having some success in finding one piece seal for my conversion. It's getting warm enough to come over . Kit from Down Under
Great video James, lots of variety in this one, whoever ground the lancia crank didn’t take much pride in their work eh, good to see you are as hectic as ever 👍👍👍👍
Just stumbled on your channel and watched this start to finish. Beautiful work. Pity about that cylinder head. I had an MGA 1600 back in the day so I'm familiar with BMC "B" Series engines. I've subscribed. Cheers from Sydney, Australia. Peter.
@@graceenginedevelopmentsDon't know what happened but my comment was in response to your MGA 1622 rebuild and the head porosity issue after the porting. Anyway yours is an excellent channel and I'll be watching much more. Cheers.
Yea subscribed after watching you buikd that ff xflow. Some nice work goes there for an english guy. Ill call up one day to shake your hand pal, nice job. To far away in swansea to give you any work but appreciate skill when i see it.
Good job on that cylinder head. Most people would have turned that away, sorry mate don't fit the machine. As for the crank, some people think that's good enough. No attention to detail. 👍😺 Also that's a good idea with the sump fill.
I thought is had been a while since the last video, but I understand, I had a two month gap in mine!! I also have two engine in bits waiting to bring to you, just time and funds need to align! Video was great and the timing and levels of the audio were good, love the progress
Hope you're well mate? That lancia crank was pretty nasty. Can you do a recovery polish or will you have to go one size further to achieve a decent result?

Thank you.. bring it down when your ready.
Did you manage to save the 10 under? Or did you have to go another 10 on the integrali crank
It went another 0.010" under.. the bad grind was to much to save
Top work as always james. Maybe someone Tryed to do that crank with a rasp file 🤣 hope your well and any luck with my last text 😉
Thanks mate.. yeah he said we can get them
@@graceenginedevelopments cool can you sort out price then please. Many thanks
Will do
Hope you're well mate? That lancia crank was pretty nasty. Can you do a recovery polish or will you have to go one size further to achieve a decent result?
Hi mate..yes all good here.. the GoPro didn't really pick up how bad it was, so yeah it needed grinding.
you're on another level ^^^
Thank you
Do u have a rolling road or engine dyno?
We have a 800bhp engine Dyno and we are looking for a rolling road next year
@Grace Engine Developments how often do you use the dyno? Is it more a development thing?
At the moment with relocation the Dyno isn't set back up just the cell.. but yes just development
hi just found your channel.very intresting.but how do you find anything
Thank you.. I know when everything is.. if I drop down dead the wife and son might be in trouble... Lol
you better keep well then.so when do you move to your new unit
We are starting to move now but it needed complete renovation and I keep running out of money so it's been done in stages.
@@graceenginedevelopments well good luck you should be proud of yourselfe,
Thanks John
