You sir have the personal shop/garage setup that I dream of. My sand blast cabinet is made out of a clear tote bin and my wife can't be home for me to use the "parts"washer. Man even got the stud removal tool instead of 2 nuts, you're living right lol

Love to watch those old BL engine teardown and rebuilds. Back in the day I worked for a British Leyland dealership and was a factory trained mechanic, 3 weeks in Abingdon near Oxford in '75. Brings back a lot of memories.

I like these engine rebuilds, in fact anything in the workshop is worth watching

Yay, a new engine-teardown video is a great start to my Christmas holiday weekend! Those barn-find Sprites are the gift that keeps on giving...

Lookin' forward to the rebuild.

I like the mechanic work on the sprites and similar cars.

Always fun to watch a tear down and rebuild.

Yes please

Yes please, more like this would be fantastic! Longer would be good as well...

You learn something new all the time, never knew to keep the crank shaft upright. Looking forward to the next stage.

I was expecting for you to have a snap on branded pushrod holder and not just an old card board box! lol Really enjoy your videos. I've learned so much from them!

As a fellow owner of a LBC I really enjoy your content. Looking forward to more👍

Awesome - cant't wait for the complete build!!

Good evening Steve. Great tip on the crankshaft ....every days a schoolday ! ( Not that I'll be going down that route!) Thankyou Steve . Enjoy your Christmas ! Cheers !

Very interesting to watch a tear down, brings back memories. I have used the larger stud remover but not those smaller ones. They might be useful in tighter spaces and as you say studs that are not too stuck. Looking forward to the next stage Merry Christmas Steve. 👍👍

I love these videos. Please do more! I would especially like to see the installation of the new bearings. I’ve never done this task and was always confused by the Hayne’s manual instructions for using crush tape to set the torque and spacing. Would love to see you demonstrate and explain the process. Thanks!

nice. more please.

You are a great teacher

Happy Holidays to you, it's nice to watch and learn on your channel. From an Alfa Romeo daily driver and past MGB driver.

I never miss an episode and learn something new all the time 👍🏻

What a great shop.. I noticed all of the equipment you have in this video.... How nice that must be to be able to do most of your projects yourself.......

On those older engines they had what we called 'scroll' oil seals on the rear journal which worked fine when new and when running but when older and the engine stopped oil just leaked by and into the clutch bell housing. There is a conversion kit available to change to a modern oil seal arrangement. Very common fix on Morris Minors. But you have a bit of a production line going there ..... 👍👍

Very good instructions, will be using this info shortly. Looking forward to the bext steps. I'm rebuilding an engine for my 1960 bugeye.

Great content! I thoroughly enjoy this process, whether doing it myself or watching it here.

Good job 👍

smooth work

Another Great *How To* video. Excellent camera work & explanation. One of the Best on the "Tube"-- Thanks So Much Steve For Making these videos For Us. Happy Holidays & Have a Great New Year to ALL.

It's terrifying to see a three-bearing bottom end!! On balance, however, they sure were simple engines back then, easy to work on...

Very educational, love watching these tear downs.

I have rebuilt a number of the the 1.8 litre MGB engines, (5 main bearing) but it's cool to see the 1275 little brother torn down. I have two 1275 engines also which may need rebuilding in the future so thank you very much for sharing. Oh if only I had room for wonderful parts washer in my garage. Looking forward to the next installment post machine shop. Any idea how much overbore these little engines can go to?

Very interesting video Steve. You make it look so easy. Thanks.

Yes that is a cool car Peace out

Excellent video Steve :) I enjoy tearing motor, plus wash you have to and hope block get new frost plugs to put before assembly back together too! That cool motor never seen one took apart before and rebuilt too ! Looking forward more videos too soon on rebuilt back together and first start up also test drive too!

Great stuff thanks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's from me and mine to you and yours.

Another nice video! Hope you guys have a good holiday.

Yeah, more please...

Love the LBC Videos. When I retire from State Service can I be your intern? Will work hard for free. Will just need a little PBR money.

Happy Xmas to you!

Hi Steve, why was there an MG sticker on the valve cover. Should it have an austin healey sticker instead? Great videos, always enjoyable. Thanks

Steve, did you ever own a Sunbeam Talbot Cabrio?

One ptoblem I found with parts washers is they don't remove rust from the water passages like the old Oakite baths did

more rebuild!

What's the reasoning behind not storing a crank laying flat ?

Why do you stand crankshafts up versus laying them down?

Doesn’t matter which push rod goes where

Hoping this doesn’t come off as a crass question. Steve, what is your line of work? How do you generate the money to have such a great collection of cars and a well equipped shop to boot?
