INSTALLING A 600HP ROLLS-ROYCE V12 (FV4005)

This isn't just a few lads playing with a tank. This is history being made and a documented restoration in full. Phenomenal attention to detail and well done Jack on all the cleaning, polishing and painting. Love this series

As a disabled U.S. Army Abrams mechanic.. I really enjoy watching you guys do your rebuild work. I have to admit to some jealousy over the fact that you all get to do this work, and I can not. Working on Military equipment was something I loved more than anything. Good job on the project so far.

Hey I have a question for you, what’s your most hated thing about this Abrams.

[@Drakonniz]

@@chrisbacon3071 at the time I served.. it was the crew of the tanks. Some of the things I had to deal with were beyond tolerance. If you mean about the tank specifically... it would have to be {redacted redacted redacted redacted, redacted}. I hope that answers your question.

You guys got a great payoff in terms of a very smooth reinstall because of top class preparation and layout. Plus you really know your stuff. A pleasure to watch.

This has been brilliant from the outset. Great to see how much attention to detail has been taken. And trying to do all your other jobs as well..... FAir play lads!

She's very much Jacks baby, you can see his pride in what's been achieved and rightly so! I reckon when you give it back, he'll be down the tank museum every weekend polishing it and shining its nuts!

Love this channel..i just wish the episodes were longer ,

[@wolvetica]

the fact that you're restoring such a niche piece of history, keeping it alive and maintained in such a way, is phenomenal, and deserves all respect

Clever dual use of engine mounting frames and coolant supply. No long rubber pipes to fail and good use of space.

What a feeling it must be for you guys to assemble such pristine pieces back together for a change! Nary a spot of rust or speck of dirt to be seen. It's already looking fantastic - can't wait to see more of it! You all deserve big, big pints after this job - drinks on Seb!

[@ejharrop1416]

The tank is looking brilliant and am pleased to see that Ted is leading the way. His calm demeanor and attention to detail is well apparent. Amazing to think that you lot have done this massive job, in a shed down by the river with two spanners, an adjustable wrench and a big hammer. When it was originally built they had hundreds of hands, in a massive factory full of hoists and torches and all well supervised by some suites and clipboards. Well done, cheers.

[@tinman7130]

I love the nonchalance of Ted as he rides shotgun on the fork lift. No fear just along for the ride

[@paullongley1221]

Great looking work there, looks fab, personally I’d avoid copper slip on bolts etc after having spent many hours beating 40mm+ pins out of hydraulic rams. Often having to gas cut the ram eye in half/off to release the pin, and there always is the remains of copperslip the manufacturer used, actually eaten into the steel and behaving like it’d been brazed in. Electrolytic reaction I believe it’s called. Plain bearing grease every time . My old foreman used to swear by copperslip, using it on HGV clutch splines and such, despite us having to hard scrape the stuff off when replacing a clutch. This went on for a few years until I showed him the bit of paper in the box the clutch comes in , you know, the bit of paper nobody reads😆 , well on there from Lockheed it clearly stated “ no metallic type greases on the clutch splines “. His face was a picture, all be it an incredibly red one 😂😂😅 White grease on splines etc. A lot of drum brakes use white grease/ptfe grease for everything sliding.

"Why use the right tool when you can use the wrong tool?" Jack you legend. Just don't tell Ted.

thank the Lord, finally Ted has seen sense in showing you how to operate the fork lift properly - although when moving you should really keep the load low keeping the centre of gravity low, you'll learn that when things go slightly whoops when off road, and by that time Ted would have foreseen this and jumped well clear, self preservation Yet again Jack has performed a miracle of paint inside the engine bay, great job Jack
