We have an Engine!

[@WordsFromAnOldMan-k7v]

I am 72 years young. I started riding 60s triumphs 50 years ago. This year I bought a 92 GL1500. Them old bones need comfort so it's the GL1500 that will provide it. I look at it this way that Great Iron Steed will out last me. It has only 53k on it. When at the pearly gates first question I will ask Pete is where do I find the Honda dealership. I hear tell there is no Harley dealership beyond the pearly gates. The bad guy got the franchise. PS. My first triumph came as a box of parts and I assembled that Steed in my university dorm room.

[@barronjackson5666]

Thank you loving the process

Glad you like them!

[@douglaskerr6813]

In your previous video you made mention of using whitworth hardware and I assume the wrenchs too and I guess a tap and die where do you find these things at do they still make whitworth tools and hardware? Thanks I enjoy your content after watching shade tree surgeon

[@weemsmotorco]

They do and it is all special orders!

[@d1mennis]

I wanted to see how you compress both sets of rings and drop the head on at the same time! Great job.

[@weemsmotorco]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ecrusch]

Man, you've got more Triumph parts than anybody! Another really great video, Jared. Thanks. Eric in Kissimmee.

[@weemsmotorco]

More to come!

Love this build. But I'm sure you know that you didn't have to use a new copper head gasket. You could have annealed an old used one with the same results. Back in the 70's when I was riding triumphs we had a hard time tracking down parts and gaskets. I would get at least 3 uses out of an old gasket as long as there were no cracks or Knicks in it. But only with head gaskets of course. Lol. All the rest we had to make ourselves out of gasket paper. Anyway I sure am excited to see this build finished. Love your channel.

[@weemsmotorco]

Tim, you know it! I have a pile of old ones but if ya have a new one why not use it!

[@timtharp835]

@@weemsmotorco for sure man lol. Got to have a least one new part. You're not breaking the rules

[@superplumber5]

I'm in the middle of rebuilding a 59 T110 engine.....good shit

[@weemsmotorco]

Awesome! Good luck on the project!

[@robertwells6454]

I guess Jole is now a member of the Jury. 🤣

[@weemsmotorco]

Possibly!!!

[@chrisbaucom4832]

Did you wash the Cylinders with hot soapy water and wipe the bores "eating Clean" as my dad would say to prevent a smoker? I have been building a budget build fore a few weeks but Honey Dues are slowing my progress. love your Channel.

[@weemsmotorco]

We sure did wash them down super clean!

[@tld522]

Be running before long!!!!!

[@weemsmotorco]

You know it!!!

[@RobertYonng]

Lose specs put a blower on it😉

[@weemsmotorco]

Love it!

Another comment for the 21st century version of toilet stall graffiti. "only parts that we have on hand in the shop" What in the name of rented storage lockers are we talking about?

[@weemsmotorco]

Have you not seen our episode on the storage unit!?!?

[@hizacaine]

@@weemsmotorco I have seen it, I like it, and it is not your shop!

[@chrislewis4830]

i know its a parts build but whats the point of putting rings in that need to be replaced as there worn to the point of not fitting? it just means that youll have to undo all that work and time in the future. or itll be a pass it on problem bike. it doesnt make any sense?? but i do love your chanel but i didnt take you for a bodger especially as you know better. i dont understand why??? im not meaning to sound insulting or risk upsetting you as i respect you but i am confused. why would you knowingly build a problematic bike

[@weemsmotorco]

That is kinda the fun of it. I know that I will most likely have to go back in but I enjoy doing that more than riding them! But.....I wouldn't pass this off to someone else as is.
