We all need a JP!

Glad you enjoyed it

J P needs his own channel

[@jamieaustin6403]

You should put a little badge on each engine "Carefully hand built by....." with your squiggle on it!

[@denisscott3073]

[@Defender110SLO]

O King Mike great tool. Cheers 🥃

[@gazzafloss]

Hey Mike, glad to see that there is at least one more person in the world that could use another two sets of hands when reassembling an engine in the workshop.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I could have done this on the floor but filming is a bugger and too cold to work outside on the steel bench - you cannot win!

[@lesliemackay7853]

Decades ago, I got a 110 for pennies. Either the engine or gearbox was seized, never found out! But My best Mate was home just after I got it, before anything was done. He worked for a Nationalised Industry.😉 "Don't do anything, I'll phone You" Two weeks later, " I need engine and gearbox as a unit, borrow Your Dad's trailer, go to red star and pick up the box. But You must stick the box with Your crap back in the next day and call me!" Everything, all ancillaries. The whole shooting match, including exhaust gaskets and nuts, had to buy fluids! Best tax rebate I ever had! 👍😁

[@davepearce6359]

Fantastic again, thanks Mike. 😎👍🏻

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Very welcome

[@nickboylen6873]

R380 reverse light switches work perfectly as flywheel timing tools for 2.5 engines (12J through to 300Tdi), and possibly the 2.25s too. They’re just as accurate though not as robust as the proper pin you have. A failed one should be free from the scrap bin at a local LR garage!

[@davelock3166]

I use the same - and its spring-loaded!

[@lawrencewagaki2959]

Hey mike tell how to dfnt btwn tdi 300 flywheel and 110 petrol flywheel.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Tricky as there are no part numbers on them - they look the same but don't preform the same. I think it is something to do with the starter ring and flywheel spacing I have not seen a petrol flywheel in years as they are so rare

[@davidcraemer8227]

Hi Mike. I use a double ended ring spanner bolted to a bell housing stud and the other end of the spanner bolted to the flywheel at the clutch bolt thread to lock the flywheel.

[@jonnymoore5342]

Great job Mike fantastic vids 👍

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Glad you like them!

[@308f40]

Hi Mike. Another educational video with lots of real time tips. Could I ask you regarding the other wider slot on the flywheel, what is it for. Thanks

[@BritannicaRestorations]

No idea - just there to confuse us!

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

Do ye not have a plastic milk bottle crate or similar to lower the engine onto, just to stop the bugger swinging about and trying to get away from you? 'Tis already on a crane, so 2 seconds to throw something underneath and rest the engine on it..not full weight, but just enough to catch and stop her spinning.

[@lawrencewagaki2959]

I think ur right coz petrol has spacer but tdi 300 dont have. But is it right to put spacer on tdi flywheel

[@BritannicaRestorations]

The 300Tdi has no spacer

[@lawrencewagaki2959]

Thenks for ur wisdom.

[@dv2045]

in your opinion, hows the spanish defender compare with the british one (vs similar year model I mean)

[@pam3071]

Great video as always, just out of curiosity whats the other notch for on the fly wheel?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I will investigate!

[@berndeikers8924]

well mike, and if you make video of the 20th engine rebuild- everyone can learn something new in every each one. so dont worry to send vids of engine rebuilds and i hope the folks apreciate your effort you do. only to imagine that you tape this vids before your actualy work is starting just make me speechless and i apreciate it a lot. just one question, comment. if you put any liquid on the bolts threads - that will increase the torque up to 25%, at least thats what they say. so if you torque the flywheels bolts to 146 pounds with this threadlock, means you actual torque it to roughly 180pounds. isnt that a bit to much? well, i imagine you do it all your life and nothing happens - but just a thought - isnt it much safer and enough to torque them dry to factory specs? anyway - big thx for your effort sharing your expertice

[@royblackburn1163]

If a torque wrench clicks out at 146 then the torque is 146.

PODIUM!!!
