Lamborghini V12 engine rebuild. Part 3, strip-down finished, what next?

[@robbybobbyhobbies]

About ten years ago, I lost my father to a collection of cancers. He was a car-loving farmer, who would happily explain the internal operation of any machine to anyone who stood still long enough, which mostly meant me and my siblings. Whilst you’re probably not much older than me, your videos give me the same feeling I had all those years listening to dad or enjoying spirited drives around the Lincolnshire countryside with him. We also both thoroughly enjoyed your magazine output over the years. Thank you Mr Metcalfe.

One thing people have to remember when it comes to the cost of the whole rebuild, or any other fix and upgrade planned for the Espada: These cars appreceiate in value over time, these are collector cars, and every dollar/pound spent on it, will more than likely over time, add to the value of the car. If Mr. Harry spend 20K on it, i bet the value at least increases with the same, and will surpas it, over time. Another thing is that MR. Harry is a true car enthusiast, and like a true petrolhead and enthusiast he drives and enjoys his cars, soo fixing them is necessary. Might aswell do it right and to ones taste, when the whole engine is already out and dissasembled. Love this engine rebuild series Harry, looking forward to more episodes :D cheers from Norway!

[@harrysgarage]

your summary is all so true. The cost would be reflected in future value but I pushed the button on this because I really like owning this Espada but was getting increasingly frustrated by the fact the engine wasn't 100%, meaning I couldn't enjoy it to the full. What I'm looking for at the end of this process is a great driving Espada I can probably enjoy to the full. Simples.

[@anthonywilliams4638]

Great to see other workshops doing the rebuilding of these fabulous Italian beauties. I have fond memories of my work at Noble House Garages in Almere, and Classic Cars at Baambrugge, in The Netherlands, where as Chief Engineer, I built engines for very wealthy Dutch businessmen who thought nothing of spending a hundred thousand on an engine to race at weekends at Spa, or Assen. I built Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Aston mostly, and prepped them before roadtesting on a straight bit of the road alongside the Rhine Canal, where I was able to give the cars their head, and enjoy the rewards of my handiwork for a few miles, before handing over my test report, and the keys to a grateful owner. What a life !!

[@anthonywilliams4638]

Having thought about the broken piston rings ( ten pistons apparently had these ) I don't think that the cause was a suggested, which was the excessive clearance on the piston lands, possibly exacerbated by high revs through the gears. In my experience, the prime cause of broken rings, especially as ten pistons suffered in this case, was that the rings were NOT gapped properly. The previous engine builder probably assumed that new pistons and rings were going to be OK in slightly worn bores, but remember that the combustion temperature at the top of the piston is going to be above 1000 degrees Centrigrade, ( this temperature is NOT the temperature of the piston or the head, but the front of the flame path ) and this would cause the top rings to expand to a critical point , closing the ring gap, and putting further stress where there should be NO stress on the ring. Given that most of the engines that I built went racing, I would gap the rings up to five thousandths of an inch wider in order to avoid that problem. If an owner is spending tons of money on an engine rebuild, the last thing that he wants is to have to take the engine out to sort out problems that should have been taken into account at the build stage. Great programme fellas, keep them coming !!!

[@keithhoughton4308]

This is no criticism of your theory but wouldn't that result in catastrophic failure of the piston? If the ring expands enough to close the gap and the piston to bore clearance, it follows that it would be forced into the wall, scrape the oil off the bore and heat up past the point where the piston could transfer it away, causing the piston to melt. There appears to be no damage in Harry's cylinders and if we accept that the smoke was the fault of the wrong valve stem seals, his engine is in pretty good health. Again, just my thoughts.

[@dosgos]

Harry has curator responsibility here to keep this gem fit for future generations. That is an expensive labour of love.

[@antn537]

Adam, your comment just reminded me of a Saturday job I had while at school. I worked for in a motorbike shop doing some mechanic work, which I remember with great fondness, including working on some fabulous old machines such as a Vincent Black Shadow. Anyway I was watching 'A Bike is Born' where a chap called Mark Evans rebuilds a Bonneville (he did a number of series on Discovery), he casually says "so I took my wheels to my man for respoking" and lo and behold up pops the chap whos shop I used to work in! He took him through the process of truing up the spokes, which I knew well as I'd watched him do it first hand numerous times. Incidentally I helped deliver the Vincent I mentioned back to the 'garage' of the chap that owned it, which turned out to be essentially a large warehouse full of old Rolls, Astons etc. In some ways I regret that my career took a different path, otherwise I think I would have greatly enjoyed getting into this style of restoration work. Love these videos, superb in both style and content and really enjoying Iains own channel too.

[@MHolt9999]

Thanks for sharing this Harry - Very Educational! First time I've come across a half groove main bearing pair where the groove should be at the bottom (in the cap). As firing loads are towards the cap, this lower bearing gets most of the loading and the plain bearing offers greatest bearing area to support it, while the lightly loaded grooved upper has the clearance to introduce oil and generate the hydrodynamic oil film?? (I know the oil supply groove behind the bearing is 360 degrees - but this just makes it easier to machine?) I'm sure Ian just took the liners out to check the water jacket to crankcase sealing, and when they are pressed (sorry hammered) back in, hopefully the finished bore size will still be correct. I always thought forged crankshafts had greater fatigue strength due to the grain within the steel following the shape of the crankshaft - and the metal inserts within cast aluminium pistons were to control expansion. Every day's a school day! Looking forward to seeing an engine stand in the near future! Respect to Ian for working in the spotlight!!!

[@Tomisuperwar]

I thought that too... Usually if the groved bearing is in the bottom oil pressure has no chance to fight crank pressure being pushed down... so it starves itself of oil...
