That hex bar adjuster was on the original Hi -Los which that cone is a copy of, 60's and early 70's minis had two bolt subframes (two small mounting bolts in each tower) with a rubber gromet between the bolts, the rubber gromet could be remover and the long hex bar inserted in, on the rear holes were driller in the valance for the bar to go through. Surprised he drills out the Donuts though, i thought the hex bar was a smaller diameter than the large bolt threads ?

Two motorbike carbs would do it

The guide has been there nearly 30 years. Must be a decent place to work. I’m sure they ask each other “hot enough for ya” every day lol

I was expecting the forging process to be a machine that slams down on the billet, not something slow like a hydraulic press.

Fantastic work and standard

Trying to find a "mechanic" to actually do the job is half the battle.

Hi guys, I am currently doing a 66 austin Cooper and wondered if I could ask with your min fins fitted. Do yr tires remain within the guards as in nz were allowed nothing beyond without flares which I don't want to fit would appreciate yr feed back thanks Richard

If someone is still monitoring this video, is that thermostat housing modified for the temp sensor, or is it a catalog item? I don't currently see it listed. Base looks thicker than what you show available. *Adding gauges to my A35. Thanks.

Nice!

When there going to be some more content?

Great series. Would love to see a breakdown of costs for a project like this, between parts and labour!

Incredible demonstration of skill, knowledge, and diligence at your work. Thank you for this series of videos, loved all three very much.

How long does this take?

Why the DUMB music ? Ruined the video.

Please for the love of god develop one of these for the reliant ohv engine range. New timing sprockets and tensioners are unavailable and have been for several years, and commonly available chains are not of great quality. Not only that but front cover oil seal leaks are a problem because the pulleys are inevitably worn out by the original leather style oil seal.

Please, stop referring to bolts as screws. Very different styles and what they can be used for.

Hi, nice info there. I just purchased a slightly tuned Mini with around 90HP with some of your parts. The clutch has almost no feel and no travel, I suspect the plunger could be half broke, could be other thing, first thing I'll check once the car arrives. In the near future I'll have to replace the bearing because it sounds a bit, what clutch system do you recommend for my setup? Its a 72 A series with a pre verto clutch, something for back roads fast driving and an ocassional track day maybe. Thanks!

Great stuff. I have a 1430 cc A+- engined Morris 1000 Traveller. I'm pretty sure that it has some/many of your bits on it. Emerald ECU runs it beautifully. Only as a road-car though and off the road because the wood's falling off in parts.

I converted the pulley my 998 fast road to a multi rib type, similar to the type used on the Japanese MPis. Its great for dealing with Belt squeal, especially if you have airconditioning on. Would I be able to fit the crank damper to a multi rib type pulley?

Its not so labour intensive and fairly a simple process, so why are they so expensive???

Thank you.

Finally someone else who puts the rear mount bolts in from underneath to keep the bare threads in the boot instead of covered in road muck 👍

My shop gets cleaned and organized often. Customers comment on it and feel as the work I do is also neat, organized and correct

Why not just use two 1/3/4 inch SU s Great Carburettor

The Master Craftsman , actually & physically, demonstrated how a few thous affect balancing, smooth running, and the service life of the engine.

Undoubtedly, but, definitely, the Master Craftsman knowledge , that even , big engine manufacturers don’t know.

Experience is the critical difference between success and failure, … winning and losing, … being untouchable.

The Master Craftsman demonstrated what the word “Experience “ means.

Unspun weight ? Crank is a rotating assembly including the big end half of the rod small end 1/2 is considered reciprocal.

This is an actual demonstration of how to correct and do things even better than original

This is a very important, and essential procedure before starting assembly of any engine.

Great..but why not go to metric when you are retapping?

What about the oil pickup ,

Let me start by apologizing for my ignorance, can someone explain what in the world is going on w this head. Are the intake and exhaust ports on the same side? It also doesn't have press in seats, the valve seat is cut directly into the casting. The rockers are unlike anything I've ever seen. What block does this fit and what series is the head meant for?

Please share link to seat maker

hand press is better for bearing insertion more control

what would be the 0 to 60 mph time of this engine fitted to the mini

the colour looks like the paint used on the minivan from about 1966

Iron Age Brit engines were : Blowby Specials basically due to Primitive Iron age designs and even Worse pistons / rings

Big Effing Deal ! I was running My 1275 'S' to 7500 Rpm for Years (SCCA C sedan) in 1972 !! Hard on the 3 :-) mains certainly ..but it never burst either. Sooo How many Ponies 100? 110? 125? Neighbor kids Box stock 89 Civic has 137 and Braking NO mini could ever equal. Moderne times People

It's an Effing crap British A series Iron age cyl head from the 50's. Utterly Worthless.... beyond the $$$ some twit wasted on it,. Lipstick on a pig IF being Charitable.

My dad used to make us make crankshafts with a hand grinder, file and a caliper.

This tools are amazing. My issue is I work on small lawnmower engines. And there are several different sizes of pistons. And it doesn't seem like you are anyone else have these tools in the smaller sizes.

Great tips. Thanks for posting. Very helpful for my Spitfire heads education. Cheers from Texas

How much does it cost roughy to line bore?

How big is the hole you need to drill through the tower bolts?

Material is also remowed from the block, are you using oversize bearings or are you mowing crankshaft a little bit upwards.

Hi what cutter do you use? My father has a lathe and says that you can’t machine crankshafts they have to be cast

My first car was a 1963 Austin mini 850
