Fitting engine in Chieftain Tank

[@harrysmith-km9bm]

Never seen such a tidy engine bay

[@hurvinekspejbl6229]

It wasnt this clean even in the factory where they made them :D

[@13thdukeofwybourne69]

cracking!

[@koenvangeleuken2853]

check out a picture of a Leopard engine bay. this is bloody chaos.

[@solobushcraft1]

Engine bay gearbox and engine all looked immaculate even better than when they are brand-new. You never disappoint keep up the great work

[@screwthecabal6453]

Fucking enormous!

Brilliant video, loved seeing the Foden putting the pack back in, nice to see the remote being used also. Keep them coming 😊

[@DaveDave65]

Considering the state of Seb's Chiefy when you started on it, that is in SUCH great nick now. Very much looking forward to seeing the masking & painting episode now. Meanwhile, grab a pint or two, man. It's Easter.

[@roderickmacgregor4867]

That Foden is a cracking piece of kit and considering its ex army its in great condition love the low down deep burble of the engine

[@johnnunn8688]

It’s in great condition because REME haven’t been at it for a while.

Really good seeing a major step forward performed so effortlessly, apparently, with the Foden providing an important role. Marvellous!

[@alamocannon3791]

That Foden is a serious piece of kit. All went like clockwork, Well done.

Man the Foden sounds soo good... 1:35 Also that tactical wood coming in clutch.

@My Cancer Journey, your picture is very small but you look like a man. If not, I’m sorry for your cancer journey.

[@johnnunn8688]

@@jogrobler , I’m saying, if he’s a man, he can’t have ovarian cancer. As his comment has gone, I’m guessing he realised he had a man pic up, so his efforts at gaining sympathy (🤷‍♂️) failed.

That Foden is one seriously useful piece of kit . Brill video with no swearing and gobby people .

[@Pugjamin]

That foden is a lovely bit of kit! My dad worked for Scammell in the 60’s to 80’s and did a lot of work with the MOD, he has some great stories!

[@nigelcox7477]

Fab job dropping the engine in - mint to watch. Foden - what a machine! I think Thunderbird2 probably had a couple of those tucked away…

[@1chish]

You lads got that engine bay, gearbox and engine looking proper factory ... 👍👍👏👏

[@brianjudy1653]

I absolutely love what you guys are doing over there. Thank you so much for sharing this stuff with us!

[@MikeDent]

Brilliant work. Top job with that Foden too. Having the right tool for the right job and all that!

[@Steve-bo6ht]

Incredible attention to detail Joe what an absolute fantastic job of one of my favourite tanks the Mk 10 Chieftain

[@Keith.W]

Just came across this, bought back so many memories and sent me looking through my picture archive. Many thanks.

[@simongriggs4351]

Thanks good to see the foden being used what a peace of kit great video

[@lablackzed]

A lovely neat job always a pleasure to see an engine painted up beautiful job and you drop her bang on the engine plinths 👍

[@lesthiele4921]

Nothing like replacing a power pack, back into a clean engine compartment, looking good guys, bedt regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍

[@AndreZA979]

That recovery truck of yours is worth it's weight in gold, so smooth with just two guys, pretty amazing!

That Foden is priceless! What a beast!

[@jbuckley2546]

You're a natural in front of the camera. Great channel.

Just been watching others doing similar things, I don’t see why you haven’t passed the million subscribers yet, keep it

[@WaceyJay]

Solid video yet again... that foden is one slick unit

[@colinblick4903]

That Fodens doing Sterling work……it’s like the REME gofer Without it your f**ked😂….nice job lads👌🏼

[@ipanzerschrecku4732]

Handy bit of kit that Foden and good control young man.

[@CarlRichardson-oe6ng]

Absolutely love this channel only been watching for a month or so buT bloody hell what an amazing job you do

[@gusgone4527]

Just for a moment, I thought the Foden was going to kill the shed! Come to think of it. A shed stencilled on the cab door would look good. Better than rings on a barrel.

[@TnS260]

Tidy is a understatement it is perfect

[@patchmack4469]

great to see the mighty Foden doing what it was built for - and doing it so gracefully, i bet them REME boys never did it as good as this and keep things so clean - if only they made a scale version of the Chieftain and Foden keep up the grand work Joe n Seb

[@BennyFirth-cb9xo]

Very difficult to keep it that clean and do it that quick at night, absolutely banging it down, in the middle of a German forest, or English wood or field. I do enjoy the Chieftain, Centurion and all the other pieces of British kit, takes me back to BAOR REME LAD 75-85. Keep up the good work!!😂

[@Paul-xe8li]

Love the foden crane brilliant video thankyou boys

[@JAY61ish]

Like a precious stone being mounted in a piece of fine jewellery... Nice job gang..

[@stephenbaker5593]

Well done, nice to see the Foden working!

[@Gibbo919]

The colour of the engine is oddly calming, probably a good choice considering what it takes to fit them! Ted is still best

[@philglover2973]

Awesome video thanks lads . looking very nice in the bay🇬🇧🛠️🔧

[@ThomasStephenForster]

"Actualy gonna use it," I'd love to see this thing pop some T-72's.

[@s.tranger1074]

I was with REME attached to a Chieftain Regiment back in the early 70's and I can honestly say the engines needed to be as a pack because they broke down more often than a Lada or Trebant!

[@bills1669]

Mr. Hewes, you do excellent work. It's a pleasure watching your videos and they are very educational as well. BTW I'm envious of your shop and all the equipment you have. lol Cheers from Canada!

[@MrHewes]

Thanks a lot!

[@ryanm2648]

A voiceover would be nice, explaining each step. It would take these videos to the next level and more people would watch.

[@davegreenwood7575]

Very nicely done....both of you.

[@davidrussell8689]

Smooth operators ! 💪

[@2fast2nick]

Maybe the cleanest engine bay of any of the tanks on this channel

[@In.Darkness]

That was totally Metal ! 👍 ROCK HARD

[@williamorton7600]

You need a taller shop! What a close fit with the Foden moving that engine around. Great work.

[@buzzingbusby]

Can not wait to see it all painted.

[@simonmarsden66]

I used to hate fitting the coupling between engine and gearbox, what a ballache that was

[@allthingsmotorized1885]

They are fiberglass front panels, got replaced but didn’t get painted I assume

[@markstott6689]

Finding your channel scratches an itch I had forgotten existed. So seeing as I will never own a tank, I'm going back to model making after a hiatus of 34 years. The plan is the Tamiya Dragon Wagon. I only found out about it from watching The Chieftain visit one on KZbin. You could do with the real thing for shows.

[@MrHewes]

One day, I want to own a dragon wagon of my own, one of my favourite vehicles that

[@dougstubbs9637]

The Chieftain with concrete in the engine bay would probably be more reliable than this example. Much less smoke as well. The concrete thing has happened here in Oz, as the Leopard AS1 were decommissioned and placed around various locations as memorials.

[@GlideYNRG]

Apparently.😉

[@OBB252]

thats a similer setup to what we hookup in the sportfishers we build. has a coupleing similer to that, bolts to the shaft it has to be lined up perfect. how we do it is we bolt isolators onto the engine, they sit on a engine bed. then we use filler guages to go around the coupler untill its the same on all sides useing the isolators to control the heights, they sit on nuts that u turn to go up or down, then once there in place, we bolt the engine in place.

[@pookitherat]

I want to hear those bad boi BOSE pounding out a tune or 7.... Greenday - any off the American Idiot album, Bob Seger - Silver Bullet Band any song would do, but Like A Rock, Roll Me Away, Night Moves, Against The Wind (beautiful song) or ultimate song Turn The Page (TUUUNNNNE), Journey - Don't Stop Believin, or dance tunes Juanes - Camisa Negra, Gigi D'Agostino - L'Amour Toujours (has to be live version), Gigi D'Agostino - Bla Bla Bla, Gillette - Short Dick Man (rude & VERY bassy which will test your amps), Haddaway - What Is Love, Real McCoy - Another Night, London Boys - London Nights, Patrick Cowley ft Sylvester - Menergy (80's gay anthem, but WHAT a tune). There is so much music out there, and as a DJ it's a hard choice. But there is always the same old tat played over & over that you forget (or want to....) so you should get a summer evening BBQ and play some tunes. Love the mechanical stuff too, seeing as how I am a mechanic ,more than I am a DJ. All the best. Andi.

what's the spares situation for the L60 engine ? with it two piece bolt on crown pistons with molybdenum sprayed piston rings. The cylinder liner with its complex machining I remember watching the helical milling and the drilling.
