Triumph timing cover seal

Very clever being able to adjust the jacks through the screw holes.

Nice job ,well thought out and executed . Like cap head machine jacks particularly, as usual very informative an inspirational . Keep up good work Ade

[@AGEngineering]

Thanks for the comments Brian, hope some part of it comes in useful, Ade

Nice work very clever setup with the cap heads, so one can adjust the work peace level. I like how you work between imperial & metric without a thought. And clearly showing your audience slowly slowly catching the monkey. Sneaking up on this type of work has you explain is very important. Thoroughly enjoyed this 30 minute film.

Thank you Rob. I'm guilty of mixing my measurements terribly, tending to go with the most convent at the time. Probably really confusing for our American cousins me using metric and 'standard' measurements on the same job and using an imperial graduated boring head to cut a metric bore. Best wishes, Ade

Done over 100 of these. All on a gap bed Colchester lathe with a threaded OPRV 3 MT mandrel. My best time start to finish 20 minutes inc circlip groove. Way quicker on a lathe...

[@AGEngineering]

Probably done 20 of them in 20 years, never really in a rush, just tinkering....might try your method next time, at the rate I see them, maybe next year! Thanks for the comment , all the best, Ade

I was perplexed as to the complication to find the square of the mirror surface of the cover in relation to the center of the hole for the new bushing. I liked the monkeys. How many threads per inch are there in the lift thread or in mm, the pitch? It is not easy to hit an old machine moved by many people. There is patience, perseverance and a lot of technical knowledge supported by good tools.

Thanks for continuing to follow the channel 👍

Hi, did I hear you right that the wire clip was 0.065" wire diameter but the groove you cut was 0.030" deep. Usually I cut the groove for a wire retaining ring slightly over half the diameter of the wire to ensure the wire is sat in the groove over centre, so to stop it trying to spit out.

[@AGEngineering]

Glad you are concentrating! Agreed if It was holding a high axial load I would need to consider measurements more carefully. Thanks for watching and commenting, Ade

[@AskingForAFriend]

Is the brass bushing still inside the timing cover?

[@AGEngineering]

No, that goes completely, it's easier to tap out after it's machined to a thin ring

[@roeng1368]

Good job. What make is your boring head ? I bought a cheap one at a jumble. It looked ok but its rubbish compared to the ones at work. I would like to buy a better one.

[@AGEngineering]

I think the manual one was from RDG (or maybe Chronos) but probably 20 or more years ago, so quality now may have been subjected to 'value added engineering'! The automatic one in the previous videos was from ARC Eurotrade several years back, best price for it's type I could find at the time, still a considerable investment for occasional use though. Thanks for watching and commenting, Ade.

How can I get in touch with you as I was thinking about getting this done to my 1955 Triumph t110.

[@AGEngineering]

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@velobob4299]

Why not put the pressure relief valve back in, and hold it in a three jaw chuck and do it on the lathe. Just saying.

[@AGEngineering]

And if you only have a Myford ML7 say?

[@mikeburton7077]

good job done , volume is a bit quiet for me as I'm a bit deaf !

[@AGEngineering]

Agreed the sound is not always great, I've tried external mic's etc. I plan on getting a 'proper' video camera this year, we'll see how that turns out. Thanks for watching, Ade

[@chuckhorton2377]

Why no more videos???

[@AGEngineering]

Hi Chuck, sorry for no recent videos, a lot has been happening recently, just not had a lot of time, hope to get to more videos soon, Ade

[@chuckhorton2377]

Ok hope all is well and look forward to your videos in the future, Chuck.

30 minutes of my life i wont get back yaaaaawn, Im suprised these people accually ride these machines what with the amount of modifications they do on these engines, For gods sake just ride the bloody things and who the hell is bothered about a little oil leak.

[@AGEngineering]

Part of the 'joys' of ownership, people like the tinkering as well as riding. Thanks for watching all the way through 💤
