- So the Villiers that came from the scrap heap. Its getting saved from certain death. In the extra length video we get the oil sump back on. Ignition timing set and flywheel refitted, Valves ground in and cylinder head refitted. And a complete clean down. Also a replacement carb is stripped and cleaned in a ultrasonic bath and also refitted to the engine.
always good news to revive an engine from the junkyard
What progress she's made, watched all the way to the end lol, just goes to show you can always do something with limited tools and still do a fine job of it well done mancave 👍
Thanks for watching buddy 👍
Great video, and great progress.
according to the Mk10/12 manual, its part number M.2788E Grommet (H.T. Lead).
Great video.
I rescued it off my friends scrap heap as he was going to chuck it in the skip. When I saw the head bolts loose I doubted it was much use but would be a good source of spares for you. over the moon to see it being restored. Sybil watched the video fixated to the screen.
When you do that trick with the sand paper to get a flat surface, I always recommend using a piece of flat metal plate if you have a bit.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for all your support and sending her in. I think she will be a good engine James. Its looking hopeful. Glad Sybil liked it. 👍
Mr man cave its nice too hear your shout outs to us James junior big James mum maria and jade. Thank you very much. James would love to get involved in the things u have been recently doing and working on. Xx
great video ,if i remember correctly from my school days in the metal work class you heated the copper till it turned a bluish colour and quenched it in water to anneal it
Yeah. Because it's got a paper or compound centre I didn't want to get it that hot. It's seems to have sealed up tho. 😀
Enjoyed this one right to the end ! Shame you hadn't got all the bits to finish it & get it running one go but there you go. Great Video.
Glad you enjoyed it. Can't do it all in one video. Lol.. no if I has ht lead fitted then I would have had a go.
Polish the hole where the needle valve inserts with a Q-tip in a drill
yes still watching
Softening metal is called 'Annealing'.
Proper annealing needs the metal to be heated above its re-crystallisation temperature for at least several minutes. Copper should be quenched in cold water after heating.
However, quenching steel after heating will make it harder. Steel should be air cooled gently to make it softer.
Watched it right to the end!
What are these things called? - My dad always referred to them as 'acorns' just like the nuts that fall out of oak trees!
Yep, I reckon you've been watching a bit of Taryl? - Hillbilly machining indeed! "Grass rats, yeeooww". "And that's the way to fix yer carbitrator"!!
So we'll be seeing this one puttering away next time we see it?
"And there's yer dinner......!"👍🍛
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yeah been watching Taryl and Mustie1 for years now.
Do get ideas off other channels I must say. I will try look up ignition acorns 🤣🤣.. x
Thanks for a very entertaining video. For the HT lead connection you need an Acorn Nut. I know they come in different sizes, many of my early cars had them on the dizzy caps and coils. After you slide the Acorn Nut onto the HT lead and strip the inner wire, there should be a small copper split washer about 5/16" which slides over the HT lead wire core and then you fan the strands to wire out like a daisy flower to retain the washer. The wire and copper washer then gets pressed against the magneto HT stud when you tighten down the Acorn Nut. Hope that's clear...
Re. the gaskets, I have a selection of steel balls robbed from bearings and use them for the studs holes and minor round holes in hand made gaskets. I find it best to tap the small holes in, before cutting round the edges of the gasket because they hold the gasket nicely in place.
You were a bit impetus with that fan nut... I was screaming at the screen not to do it!! LOL
Aw thanks very much. 😀
Great video, I do hope we see this running at some point soon.
I hope so too!
Great vid Man cave she will be running soon 👍🏻
Hope so!
Love the gasket hack
Best way I found to make gaskets. Sounds strange but it do depend much on the quality of the gasket paper.
Nottingham ? Good upload and watched until the end 👍
Thanks for the visit. 😀
Hi Fenn, I noticed quite a bit of lateral movement on those valves so she isn't going to run for very long unless you replace those valve guides.
Really glad you you did another video on this. Can't wait to see its first start. Any ideas on what you will use it for?
yeah exactly if the compression can blow youre finger off it has good enough compression to run
Great video....did you start the Lister CS lately??
No I not started her up lately. I really should do that. 😀
Fantastic as always Man Cave, although I cant recall you saying what is your favourite Engine?
I may have to do a vid in the summer of my favourite engines. Thanks for watching 😁
Annealing. With an A. It isn't an Irish process...!
Hi Adam. Would you be interested in a job lot of lister engines? My stepdad has just put his four up. All currently non runners. There is also a water pump. There three identicle ones and I think a lister D (which I know you dislike)
Lightly polish the brass perhaps
Good idea 💡. 😀
