It's a miracle that you finished that car with this stupidity.

Further down the line contact ignition advantages for one of his efi conversions it will be the best mod u do

Thats actually the wrong way to remove the bonnet.. removing the bonnet for maintenance is a regular occurrence, so you pop out the E clips that hold the bonnet hinges. Then hold the bonnet firmly, jerk it sideways or put pressure on to one side, and the hinge will pop out the pin.. then gently slide off the other pin and lift away.. everyone does it this way.. 😎 It's ok as you're gonna paint it, but you'd be trying to line up the bonnet gaps if you do every time you work on it. And the studs snap..

I hope you read this comment sooner than latter as from what i can see, you forgot the o-rings in the bottom of the cylinder liners. Without them all your hard work will go to waste once you start the engine as the oil and water will mix togheter. Best regards and i hope i didnt write too late in the process.

Are you checking your clearances for the mains and big ends?

Huge respect for doing this yourself (and your dad). Keep it up. That first start attempt is gonna be terrifying.

Vidéo sympa mais un peu courte en terme de montage moteur, tu as gardé les bielles et le vilebrequin d'origine, qu'elle cote as tu pris pour les coussinets de bielles et de vilebrequin ? Ton montage tourne t'il sans contrainte? J'ai pas l'impression que tu es beaucoup lubrifié.. Pour les segments as tu bien twisté a 120°?

Are u usein anythin on the bearings an piston rings an the liners they don't want goin in dry 🤔when u first turn the engine over wants to be lubricated

I hope you enjoyed the video! What do you think? Hopefully not too many mistakes!!

Don't drill out the indicators on the wings as it looks better without, and most mot guys are normally happy with the fronts as they wrap around.

Great fun watching this build well done so far 👍 I would suggest converting to efi as an upgrade, this guy has designed a kit Best of luck with the rest of the project kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIbIfJilZt2npKMsi=yt-voc9wk5D8JJhj

Get a timing disc for the crank, and a dti as you'll need to set the timing of cam. Specs will be supplied by piper. Port match head to manifolds, nice n easy to do. With that cam you will probably be able tonjust increase the 1st stage boost enrichment, but defo get a decent wide band afr. If the scorpion exhaust is in good condition, keep it as its decent enough for your power level. I always preferred a side exit purely for the noise😂. Take you time building the block, clean, clean and clean. And make sure you check liner protrusion. Not sure if you got the head checked, but we'll worth checking the oil passage up to the rocker shaft. They had a habit of cracking after a rebuild (seems to be the re torquing of headbolts causes it) and it will dump oil into the water. A decent engineering shop can line bore it and put a bronze sleeve in. Might be worth considering. Best of luck👌

1.00 what is this vanishing dog magic?

Good luck with your project 👍

When you say "cracked turbo", all I hear is "opportunity for upgraded turbo".

If that head didn't need skimming then it shouldn't have been! Unfortunately the C1J turbos are particularly sensitive to compression changes, something you will need to consider when rebuilding and fueling.

Look amazing Greg…. Shame about the turbo:-(

That's a job I must do with my Saab. It looks amazing!

Hope you enjoyed the video! Do we do any upgrades to the engine whilst it’s in this state?? For all your engine needs here are MJAs details: www.mja-engineering.co.uk/

Could try a nut splitter on the rounded nut

Grandad staring down the barrel of that Nerf gun was classic - fully expected it to go off

Getting there with the car, love the videos and look forward to seeing the next one 😊👍🏻

Your enthusiasm is quite captivating, i really enjoy even those shorter episodes. This needs more viewers tho, too little care for those old, french nuggets!

Je suis moi même en train de restaurer un GT turbo rouge . J'aime beaucoup suivre votre chaîne. Trop de temps de parole par rapport au peu de travail présenté sur la voiture dans cette vidéo a mon gout... Hâte de voir cette voiture avancer 😉👍

Great stuff Gregg and mostly Imogen - keep up the great content

Will you be taking your pistons to be fitted to the conrods at the engine place that you mentioned ?

Think the rocker cover and sump are more a gloss black if you are wanting to keep it standard looking. Someone may correct me but I'm pretty sure mine is standard and is a gloss finish.

Take all the time you need to get the cleaner result possible 👍. Keep on the good work

I’m currently rebuilding the engine and gearbox on my 1989 tungsten grey R5. I’ve ordered loads of bits including a full engine rebuild kit from spain and the import tax takes the piss. Still probably cheaper than some uk suppliers however. Problem is you need the parts 🙄 once I’ve got it on the road we’ll have to meet up. Good luck with the build 👍🏻

Great video! thanks! 🙂

Love the channel and the project 😃. just upload when you can its all good 👍

The head linein is glued in mate u wanted to use a heat gun uv jst ruined that headlining

Would an ultrasonic cleaner not have been better or easier to clean the parts with.

I love seeing a new generation being "introduced" to vintage cars, in a way that seems like they actually enjoy it. *subscribed*

If you can't fix it then clean it.

Hope you have kept the big end caps in the correct order as they are a machined with the con rod and not interchangeable. Also, i would just replace the water pump, as the bearing looked fairly tight, you dont want to go through all this trouble to have a leaking pump. Depending on your end goal, if the rest of the pistons are ok, you can get that det scar machined off, we used to skim the pistons by 1mm in the very early days to lower compression ratio to run silly amounts of boost. So a few though shaved off will do no harm, just make sure all the pistons are machined the same. I wonder if it was cylinder no.3 as we always found that cylinder to run leaner than the rest due to the carb/manifolds flow characteristic. Also, get a tap and die set, or a thread restore kit and use that to clean every thread on the head/block etc, will make reassembly so much easier.

Don't put silicon hoses on your cooling system unless you are building a race/track day car, they leak coolant over time and your constantly filling up. Standard rubber hoses are the way to go for a street car. Silicon are however the proper ones for all turbo plumbing.

Good job! Thanks!

Your old and strange apprentice suggests completing the engine, so all components are in and not getting lost…. Make sure it starts and therefore oil is on all components…. Use fogging oil and mask up intakes and exhausts…. Buy a dehumidifier and insulation for your garage doors…. This should keep any moisture away from the engine and you won’t lose anything :-)

I did send another comment but seems like its dissapeared :( I had a spare engine stored in my garage and ended up selling it as i knew it would deteriorate over time even though i plugged up all the ports to reduce condensation. As you are lucky enough to have yours in bits i would coat everything in preservative oil & vac bag as much as possible. restore & rebuild when your ready to pop it back in the car. only my opinion so google 'engine long term storage' and plenty of help out there

First time I stripped an engine, I got to the point where I wondered if I’d ever get all the bits back in the right places. Scary but an amazing point to be at. And this is the first time I’ve seen an engine where the linings come out with the pistons, presumably because it’s not a cast iron block. (Showing my age again) so even at 70, not too old to learn. Thanks Gregg, fun and informative again. Your apprentice seems to have grown much older and stranger though?

roose motorsport are highly recommend and do a phase 2 set for you.

my mate is the man see about pipes and hoses for the renalt

A year!! Or two?

There is enough carbon there to freeze a scruffy looking nerfherder 😁😁😁
