Keith great video as always and I’m chuffed you linked that guys website, Gretel is an early auto so this will be invaluable when rebuilding and modifying her

[@classicminiworkshop]

He can be a bit hard to get hold of i.e. doesnt pick up the phone straight away but he always calls back or responds on e-mail. He really knows his stuff!

Good work again mate

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thank you! Cheers!

Pulling oil seals is so much easier with a proper hook screwdriver

[@classicminiworkshop]

Agreed, I only have a small set which were not big enough

[@markpiper8082]

I use a sealant made by renault for the 16v cam cover its a thin resin sealant. 👍👍 i use it on all none gasket surfaces and stuff where you have to remove lots of bits to fix the leak 😄😄

[@classicminiworkshop]

Great tip!

[@kevinmcdonald1970]

Brilliant content as usual👍great to see a some love for the much maligned automatic A series when in fact if maintained properly and driven properly is everybit as reliable as the manual. 👍

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thanks 👍

[@Matthew-MrBrit]

I really appreciate your clean approach (non mess). While watching the flimsy gasket being slid on, I wondered if it might be safer to progressively press the gasket down with a deep socket or 6-8mm diameter pipe? Just curious if you had any thoughts as you have the hands on experience.

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thanks Matthew, yes probably would have been easier with some pipe. I had to walk it down really carefully as it was an exact fit around the studs

[@martinsgarage2791]

Hi Keith the engine is starting to look great, what is the gasket sealant your using. M

[@closeenoughmicron]

Is there a bronze guide bush like the manual transmissions that wear out or only the outer seals?

[@classicminiworkshop]

I dont think so

[@ollyb360]

Hi I know the video is a few years old now but I have a question. Do you know if this can be done with the engine still in the car? I have a slight leak on the differential casing seal

[@classicminiworkshop]

Yes, it can

[@simoncarney9944]

Great video and the engine looks superb! One tip I saw on a video of a guy rebuilding an E type engine he used blue hylomar. hylomar.com/en/universal-blue/ as apparently, as it doesn’t set, it can’t contaminate oilways etc.

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thanks for the tip! I've used Blue Hylomar before, infact I have a couple of tubes. It's pretty good stuff

[@paulrobinson3528]

7th if you don't count Beryl Matthews lol
