[@paulhalgarth1164]

Good to see you back in the workshop on a project Martin. Thanks for the upload.

[@peteramberley9952]

Get some fine wet and dry or ambrat cloth .that crank will polish out its only ally stuck to it making the ridges.and put a new set of shells in it

[@robertstenton6763]

Nice to see your still rockin and rollin.. life moves on .. x

[@chrislazarou7491]

Loving you being back in the workshop, looking forward to more

[@01ls1z28dabx]

Always look forward seeing updates on this project.

[@matthewharmer1656]

Polish the crank journals measure them to check if they are in tolerance, then fit new big end shells also check con rods for ovality where the big end shells fit.

Love the background music.. reminds me of battersea school days in 70’s… 🥲🥲👍

[@davidcrossley3542]

Great to see you back on regal engine martin

[@PhoneVidoes]

I'd do and have done what others have suggested, bit of fine wet and dry on the crank carefully and a new set of shells, takes a fair bit to kill a crank generally. Did that on my old Regal and that knocked like a trouper, was fine afterwards 🙂 I presume you've got the same shells on the same ends and not mixed them up, I did that with my mains by mistake and caused it to lock up.

Looking forward to a longer vid on this next time ,great content 👍👍👍👍

[@KevinJones-ye3vw]

Only just subscribed to your channel , i subscribe to Butlers empire really enjoy that , & i really enjoyed this video as well . Keep up the great content .

[@retrorestore]

Thanks for subbing

[@lukebull8012]

Really been looking forward to this vid!

[@garyevans9509]

That crank should go again with some 1500 wet n dry and a new set of shells

[@jaggass]

You'll have no problem getting a crank and bearings as Reliant Spares will have them. It's probably pricey but at least you'll get a warranty and stay original.

[@zambotv8150]

Great upload, that's a lovely wee motor

[@alandykes2519]

Not having much luck with that Martin but I'm sure you will get it sorted one way or another 👍👍👍👍

[@AliMackMechanical]

Speak yo Lewi buch he might be able to help with the engine. Good work so far 👏 👌

[@petefroud5308]

What a sod . Perhaps a local shop can machine the crank .

[@Coxeysbodgering]

Can't you get liners for them like some small garden power tools?

[@adeh503]

Good to see back on tools more regularly Mart 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great work again mate what a shame

[@Firthy77]

I have a 600cc engine that I bought off a good reliant guy.

[@EjazMughal-xl6wg]

Hi. Amazing vids. Do you have a vid on how to get that yellow look on restored car parts. Can’t remember the exact name of the colour. You often see it on the fan blade of an alternator.

[@geoffcrisp7225]

A couple of rockets work I am told.

[@BrewabitRick]

There’s a guy in Kirkby on Bain that’s got a load of reliant 3 wheelers in his garden. He still drives around the area in one . Just an idea ?

[@retrorestore]

Yes, I know of him Rick.

[@drzdoddy2008]

Hi Martin.Have you still got your bandit? If so when will you be doing some work on it?Thanks

[@retrorestore]

Yes I have 2 bandits. 600 and 1200

[@drzdoddy2008]

@@retrorestore Looking forward to you working on them👍👍

[@ShadowzGSD]

best i can offer is a 2.6 V6 🤣 that will make it shift if you can shoehorn it in 😂

[@johnmichaelphilipguy-gibbe795]

Hi Martin I would try Lewis Buchan he is in Scotland and he has got lots of Reliant's, he might be able to help you out, good luck

[@retrorestore]

I'm getting the crank refurbished now

[@martinhunt6004]

The man hours are adding up. Is it a keeper or an earner?

[@Aguyfromthe60s]

Is the old hayterette for sale?

[@retrorestore]

No, its a project for a friend.

[@Aguyfromthe60s]

@@retrorestore aww I hope you do a video of it, thanks for your kind reply.

[@butterwortha1]

I'm liking that reggae tune. Any chance you could name that song and i can listen to it this weekend whilst drinking a few pints of wine. Thanks

[@butterwortha1]

You never did answer my question

[@takis12345]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@karentoynton8948]

A man of many talents hehe. I am sure the Reliant will be fantastic on the day. Worth all your. Hard work . If it was advice on a human body I could help you I am sure, but sadly car engines I have. No idea, much as I love cars .

[@googlisrael]

Hi, I have a question, could you please help me with liner seals issue? O ring for 600cc and 700cc are the same?

[@chasmcl42]

The guy on ebay wants £575 or best offer, throw him a cheeky bid you never know, loved the video👍👍

[@retrorestore]

I did do, he ignored it. I'm getting the crank refurbished now.

[@RobertMayhew-n6y]

Bit of a school boy error do not use wet & dry if you really want to keep it original have it machined properly

[@warrendoyle3553]

Did you say way back you worked for the BBC?

[@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

I think Martin likes lubricating the shaft...

[@stuhollyhead4294]

I know lee lockwood another KZbinr removed a reliant engine a few months ago to fit a motorbike engine not sure if that ones available at KZbinr friends rates 😂
