1968 Triumph Spitfire MK3 Restoration Project - Part 16 - assembling the head

[@cabdriveruk]

Great job Elin its getting there now. Can't wait for the start up ! Cheers, Jeff.

[@DavidPlass]

This engine is already running, I believe.

[@RustyBeauties]

Thanks Jeff!

[@jimhallmark8680]

You sure make it look easy.

[@RustyBeauties]

Well it is not that hard. I know you know that :)

[@cheftush]

Looking good. I usually put some anti seize on the head studs to make getting it off easier the next time...

[@RustyBeauties]

Good idea. I didn't think of that. But I know a TR250 engine that can use some antiseize soon

[@niceperson709]

Love the shtick about the oil flinger!

[@RustyBeauties]

LOL

[@SendingStache]

another great video!

[@DavidPlass]

Don't I know you?!

[@RustyBeauties]

Thank you Karan

[@SendingStache]

i don't know! maybe. are you based in Los Angeles?

[@DavidPlass]

No, but I used to know someone with your name, back in the early 2000s here in NY.

[@barnabyames3340]

I always got told not to put anything on the head gasket, that it should be completely free of anything. Does it matter if you put anything on it?

[@stuartpage9138]

Hi!! What is it that you're brushing on to your timing cover gasket? I need to replace my timing chain so I thought i'd find your video of installing yours and follow you as closely as I can. Cheers

[@RustyBeauties]

It is called Aviation form-a-gasket by Permatex

[@stuartpage9138]

@@RustyBeauties Thats brilliant. Thank you. I'm a complete novice but love watching your videos. I'll order some of that and set to work when it arrives. Keep up the good work!

[@cutworm59]

Elin, I was jumping up and down when you forgot th oil slinger on the crankshaft. I forgot the one on my Spitfire engine. I remembered it on my Herald engine tho. I think.....

[@RustyBeauties]

Haha, when I was editing the video I was going to live everybody shouting "Elin.... you are forgetting something" for couple of minutes, but I thought somebody might get heart issues, so I decided to calm down everybody in advance LOL

[@cutworm59]

Elin Yakov I have an extra if you ever need one my brother. Ha ha ha

[@DavidPlass]

Wow, that one manual is for all those models? Is it just for the engines?

[@RustyBeauties]

It is mainly for maintenance - lubrication, check lists before every drive :) But it has some useful information. It came with my 66 Spit

[@cheftush]

First!

[@johnhartley3596]

Love the self-effacing comments.

[@RustyBeauties]

LOL This guy Elin is so forgetful... And I have to put up with him on a daily basis!
