This weeks video is a long one. You will see me machine some conrods and also machine valve pockets into a B series block.
This is all for Pete who races his RGS Atalanta sports car at various circuits throughout the UK.
Hope you enjoy.
James.

i feel like an apprentice learning from a master mechanic. demonstration, presentation and application at its best.
Thank you we are pleased you're enjoying them.
I served my time in the engineering trade a long time ago, you do great work and explain thing very well......Australia
Hi Richard thanks for watching, what kind of engineering did you do
valve, there's educational value here for everyone, not only MG enthusiasts!
Thank you. Thanks for watching

thank you so much for sharing these videos. i dont have the words to express how gratefull i am to you for letting me into your shop and spending some time with me . although i am just a tinkerer and will never have your skills, i feel a little smarter by knowing that the list of things i dont know got bigger.

Valve.
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed watching it
Thank you for sharing👌🏻
Thanks kev.. your welcome
Good attention to detail,only improvements would be to use a piston ring squaring tool
when checking ring gaps.
Always a benefit to chamfere head stud holes in block.
Thanks Robert, yes I do need to order a ring squaring tool, I've just always used the piston.. I will get one though..
fantastic bit of work on the VALVE pockets
Thank you
Sam keep up the great work mate great work as always xx Nevlock
Ahh thanks mate x
Nice work. Good and thorough checks. Perhaps a video on degreeing the cam next time?
Thanks Kevin, I'll do a video on cam timing for you soon.. any engine ?
Valve , great work Sam
Thanks Malcolm
Valve good show
Thank you
I'm a bit surprised that the cam bearings were installed before the rest of the removals and cleaning etc was done. Good work though and great to watch.
Thank you.. it would of already been through the wash
Best in the business !!! 🔥

Valve. Just finished rebuilding an 1800 for mgb. Wish mine was as clean and thorough as yours.👍
Thanks Mitchell, have you got yours up and running now?
Yes Michael, runs great. 60 lbs. Oil press at hot idle. Hope it continues.😄
Lol auto correct on the reply. Corrected now.. there a great engine when maintained.. you e got great oil pressure.. what grade oil do you run
20w50 Castrol GTX Classic. This was with a test gauge. Don't have the original gauge installed yet.
Lovely work as always 👍👍👍
Thanks Paul
Great work and attention to details. Would be nice to see a video of the rebuilt engines run for the first time after they're completed..
Thank you.. there is a couple of videos with them running..
VALVE!! Excellent and informative video, really good to watch. Making me consider sending the 1275 A+ block that I have that needs a rebore, etc to you instead 👍😁
Thank you.. here if you need me
Valve. Good work mate - building done right AND machining done right 👍🏻
Thanks mate 👍.. hopefully see you soon??
@@graceenginedevelopments soon as I can mate, get a brew on 😉
Will do
damn ! ya'll are just 3000k too far away ! Nice work, brings back fond memories
3000k would be a great road trip for an engine lol. Did you have an MGA?
@@graceenginedevelopments mgb, spent afternoon muckin about putting my Mikuni Phh44 on a Warneford manifold
@@michaelmenard8913 awesome . Is it running?
@@graceenginedevelopments soon, weekend? We have an autocross 29th. time to try and break it. :)
@@michaelmenard8913 oh cool.. well good luck at the autocross
Val Valve Vow
Thanks John
A very informative and in-depth video James. What was that milwaukee drill doing in your workshop Mr Snap-on.Keep up the good work (Valve).
Thanks Paul.. it was a trade in..
Very informative video. A couple of points for you to consider. Why install the new cam bearings when you have not finished cleaning the block properly? You stand a chance of damaging the bearing surfaces. I think best to clean and finish all of your machining work, clean the block again and then install the cam bearings. Secondly, you are handling a lot of bad chemicals that will damage your skin and enter your system through cuts and scrapes. Suggest heavily you wear 7 mil thick minimum gloves. Save yourself for a long and prosperous life and more videos. Cheers from Texas.
Hi Robert, yes I agree with you on the bearings, normally one of my last jobs but not on that engine.. safety ware is something I always overlook and really need to sort out, my wife is always saying about it.. I'll get stuff ordered next week. Thanks for viewing
First viewer 👍
Excellent, just excellent. I noted that you used to work for Oselli, I remember reading about their 2 liter engines for the B. But that was 30 years ago, are they still around?
Thank you.. yes they are still going and still building B series engines, I was speaking to David (oselli owner a week ago at a classic car show)
Valve
Thank you

Thanks mate

Thanks Adam
Value
Thank you
Great job - do you ever use Glyptal paint on the inside of the engine? Also do you knife edge crank weights for racing application?
Thanks.. yes I have used it in the past but not recently.. yes we do knife edge cranks if the rules allow and the counter weight is heavy
