I ran across your channel and I really really enjoy watching you rebuild the engine of the triumph. You are an amazing human. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the Series
I would have put lubricant on the threads for the nuts before I torque them. I believe it an earlier video you said you were going to lubricate the studs when you put them in so the head would come off easier
I can confirm the two longer studs were indeed for the a/c compressor bracket and were installed in the first two stud holes on the left of the engine when viewing from the front of the engine.
Great rebuild series, really enjoyed watching. Look forward to seeing how you prime the oil, I seem to recall doing this with the starter motor (and no ignition!!). Are you going to bench test it? Good luck from Spain!! PS: Great to see the Canadian Mounted Police leading the Queens funeral processión, respect!!
I agree with most of what you said, however, as a new player of SC it has so many bugs the biggest is I can’t retrieve my ship which does spoil the Emerson don’t you think
Why re-use the head studs? Wouldn't it have been prudent to have fitted new ones while it was easy to do. Old ones could be stretched, fatigued etc, no?
Well, I’ve always reused the studs and I’ve never had issues so far. I know it is a good idea to replace them, but that is valid for everything and you can’t just replace everything :)
Nobody does that unless they are corroded Jaguar XK studs, even those get cleaned up and reused normally. They aren’t long stretch bolts from a modern OHC engine.
Not needed for any of this assembly… dry gaskets worked fine in the factory when the engines were built. Maybe a smear of Hylomar blue to stop the rocker cover gasket from falling out or possibly if you’re reusing a thermostat gasket because one wasn’t supplied. Gasket maker is instead of a gasket so serious overkill on the thermostat fitting !
Triumph never used oil seals on the TR’s There are after market ones available, but I believe the do more harm than helping as they do not allow proper lubrication between the valve guides and the stems and lead to premature wear. Just my oppinion
@@RustyBeauties I agree Elin, (I’m pretty sure it does restrict lubrication for the sake of less blue smoke/oil consumption). I can’t remember if Dave used any on his last build?

Another great build video. Anyone who follows your video won't go wrong. Thanks again.
I am in the process of overhauling a Rover T16 NASP and your videos are very helpful.
Thanks. Great stuff again.
I really enjoyed your video's, Elin. Seen a lot in the last two, three days.
hi Elin. Great meeting you at the car show . Hope the polaroid turned out ok . Great video. thanks.
It was nice meeting you too. Hope you have your car ready soon so you cam enjoy it for a few rides while the weather allows.
Make it an hour ... I love your videos!

Love it, whoever gets this engine will be pleased.
What is the standard compression ratio?
It was 7.6 so 8.4 is a good improvement.

First engine that has no valve stem oil seals
That Triumph part number on the top of the head, 218227. it that a TR6 head? Maybe GT6+?
It is definitely a TR6. I don’t think GT6s ever came with a low compression heads.
If you want to find half, just fold your tape in half form 0 to 20.5
:) I was looking for a third, not a half

I’m surprised there was no Form-A-Gasket in the core plugs!
I think the core plugs have to remain a clean interference fit so they can release correctly ( if ice forms and expands in the block).
Yeah, I am not even sure it does anything in this application, so I am not too worried about it on core plugs

No valve stem oil seals on this head Elin? 🤔

@@RustyBeauties that's a strong opinion shared by many engine builders and makes absolute sense.

Where is the valves seals.
No valve seals on these babies. The engineers didn’t think they were needed :)
That rainx isn't working very well. 😐
Well, it was good enough. I think you are supposed to let it sit for a while before you wipe it off, but I didn’t have the time. The rain was close :)
pour moi la plus belle des carrosseries c'est la GT6 MK3 des annee 70 les mk2 sont moins jolies c'est mon choix
les clips des soupapes sont pas ajuster aux milliemes il risquent de sauter hors de leur axes dangers oups
