Interesting project T & B , Canada

Nice one Mr Thompson

Wet liners have a flange on top dry ones don't

What was the name of the fluid you dumped in the cylinders to break the rust?

Hi Keith, great video and explaination of the cooling system. I Just bought a boat with this Mercruiser 3.7 engine and try to understand it. Can you do me a favor and tell me wich cooling agent is to be used in this machine? Kind Regards Jan

On my D7 17A cat dozer I used dextron 3 and acetone at a 50 /50 mix

I've just received 2 of these classic gems. One is almost complete, the other no head, cyls full of water from being outside. A kiwi mates's next door neighbour had one in a 40 series SWB cruiser for competition hill work. Had head gasket probs, so Richard had the Sleeves machined out and fitted custom fat to lips to stop water creeping under gaskets. Very impressed. I want to build a modded unit to fit in a lightweight hotrod. ( I have a tupperware 23 T roadster which would look nice with a firey turboed 4 pot. around 400 hp/750 kilos should shake the fuel tank a wee dramm.

They look like dry cylinder liners dont think you had to bolt them down while freeing off the engine they are usually very tight in the bores.

That takes me back! Not much space in that crusher Keith.

Want to see it running now

Killed the water pump

That'll fix man; It's an AEC...

Hi bud...Good advice it's horrid stuff fibreglass...So everyone who is using this stuff be safe with it...Can't wait mate for the start of the body work..Thanks Keith

Great job Keith, more videos like this 🙌👍

I guess this is a Basil Brush that you do not want to go ‘Boom Boom’.

Nice job getting it free!

I like your channel. some things are interesting for me. I am 64 years old but never to old to learn. Greetings from the Netherlands

Good stuff as usual Keith.

hi, i used to work for AEC ltd, that looks like an av760 engine, i wish you the best of luck,put new engine oil in and a new oil filter, if you do get it running check the water pump for leaks,

I got you beat. 22 years

Thanks. Saved lots engines from freezing. With this information. Great video

Hi Keith How did you remove the heat exchanger. I have a leak in mine and I am not sure how to go about it! Thanks Geoff

😂😂😂Hi mate ..Yes I was expecting something a big bigger under the hood but a bloody vacuum cleaner..Man you do love a challenge..Thanks for the quick clip 😂😂

Hi Keith I did just that with my fuel that had a lot of water in it. I rigged it up with a small electric fuel pump sucking fuel out of the tank through a filter and then a hose going back into the fuel tank. Worked like a charm!

If Watch Wes Work can do it, then you can too! I shall be watching with interest.

Back in the day dad had a aec mandater and a mamath majer remember them well lift the bonnet in cab to check engine. Oil press button start

Did aec make there own engine or was it a Leyland engine

Interesting thanks

I like seeing old equipment brought back to life. As long ss it turns it will run. Those liners look fine for what's needed. I'd expect smoke initially but once some heat gets through it at a fast idle speed, it should be ok as long as the rings aren't too stuck in the grooves. I've seen piston rings free up and reseat themselves really well on several occasions. Great work and nice to see the younger generation taking an interest in saving them. Edit: Just to sdd i recently freed off a mildly stuck Ford Mustng straight six engine using ATF Dextron III down the spark plug holes. It gets past the rings nicely to free them up and has cleaning properties in it too. It ran great and the owner is still happy with it. He thought it would need a rebuild and it was fixed for nothing.

We used to have one of these as our yard crane, it was fully inspected up until 2018 when she was finally condemned 😢then she was sold to a farmer and I hope she’s still living out her retirement

The moment the flywheel moved, so satisfying! Well done!

Had those sleeves been in a worse condition would re-sleeving been to big or costly a job?

nice work

that poor engine has had so little care in its life i hope it gets a repair to running order again

Lot of rusty crap coming out that hose whilst tapping thermostat housing. Interesting project though.

Hi bud..Oh..er..That looks nasty well that what you have to deal with when a vehicle gets left..But I know you are a but of a wizard and you will try and do something with it..Great vid..Can't wait for more content...

Ayup mate, cousin Dave from Canada. Paul is visiting and told me about your channel so I had to subscribe. Big hugs mate!

There was no gasket between the oil pump and the block There was also not one in the gasket kit and there wasn’t one in there when I took it apart

Did you change the gasket on the oil pump or did you reuse the old one?

I’m having trouble getting my 470 running.

Yo bud..This is going to be interesting..Let's see how you get on with this challenge..

Hi Keith, can I ask you if your engine had points in the distributor and if so did you find a supplier, or maybe you fitted an electronic conversion?

Eh, ....cut up? Are you quitting

You’re very watchable Keith. Love your content

Nice angle grinder 😉

Following you closely Man. I'm doing a very similar job on an 18ft Searay... similar layout (floors...wood rot...fuel tank) except for cabin . Haven't got to the engine much yet... hope I don't have as much as you did on that. Thanks again for sharing your valuable time.

Yacht, narrow boat or slow boat....Def not an option for a power boat.

Never put oil under your main bearings

Great ,useful videos,,,,thanks a lot for sharing.
