What happened to the days we used to make gaskets out of gasket paper or even Kellogg’s cereal packets 😁

[@Badfinger7761]

Always so satisfying to watch an engine come together with all the collective years of cumulative knowledge and experience that it comes with. Safe pair of hands at work. Bravo Mike.

[@johnnyknap]

What a beautifully simple engine. Nice to see the human torque wrench in action.

[@thechod]

Excellent mike looking good now

[@petermenzies1714]

I never owned a torque wrench till I was about 26, just used judgement on material used and it was mostly spanner’s back then & steel or cast iron. the feel of using a spanner will tell anyone with the skill if the nut or bolt is still turning or starting to shear.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Correct = however on engine bolts like cranks and heads it is important to get the torque even

[@petermenzies1714]

@@BritannicaRestorations Absolutely, however needs must when as a young man with no money you have to change a head gasket on an old Datsun Cherry at the road side outside your flat in the dark, granted I was lucky it worked ok afterwards, at least till I sold it on😔

[@jamescaron6465]

very nice

[@GrumpsBarn]

Don't forget Mike, with the human torque wrench you tighten the bolts till your wrist goes click....

[@BritannicaRestorations]

lol!

[@jameskerr5756]

Getting there Mike. Good looking engine and nice to bolt on freshly painted and clean parts.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Yes nice to work with clean stuff!

[@davidforbes6250]

Gooda!

[@hyhgtsssassfilj]

Can you recover an old hard gasket by soaking in oil for a bit?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

yes

[@tonybainbridge2607]

I have some spare collets in BC from a 2.0L spreadbore parts engine I have, want some sending over?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks Tony, but this is now sorted

[@erictyrrell3560]

Looking good. Which engine do you like working on most?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

300Tdi I think - if only they had fitted timing gears, a cast iron head, alternator with a vac pump, integral power steering pump and bigger cc - maybe 3.9, it would be fine. Wait! The Japanese did that in 1985 with the 4Bd1t... lol! Imagine if Land Rover fitted that engine and saved us all the misery of the 2.5 NA and Turbo, all the warped heads and snapped timing belts on the Tdi... Australians worked it out..
