As we start restoring and repairing this cheap auction Aston Martin, I'm finding out quickly that the parts are anything but cheap. Every little piece seems to be a major rip off, but it shouldn't be and here we literally show you how cheap everything can be sourced by just breaking down each part for what it actually is and sourcing anywhere but the dealership.

Not sure I'd go with a $1.10 oil filter that is labeled "Original Engine MANAGEMENT" (a Chinese play on OEM?). Especially considering it is called out/cross referenced for the XJ8 only and not the Vantage (the AJ-V8 in the Vantage calls for 10w60 while the XJ8 is 5w30). Going with a cheap oil filter that is manufactured to have similar pressure-flow characteristics, filtration efficiency, and filter bypass pressure would be preferred but good luck figuring that out for the Vantage OE oil filter. I probably would have chosen a Wix or Mann filter for $6-15 instead.

Free clutch tip: Sometimes a deep 1/2 inch drive socket will fit the pilot bearing while being too small for clutch plate. Carefully wrap electrical tape evenly round the socket to take up the slack. You'll end up with a tool that snugly stays in the clutch plate and slips nicely in the pilot bearing 😉

@isaackent2355 2 жыл бұрын

2:43 An easy way to get out that bearing is to create a hydraulic ram basically, ie fill the centre of the bearing with grease, pack it in there, then get a something that fits perfectly into the centre of the bearing, like a round piece of steel, then put some plastic over it, some shrink wrap, so the the seal is good, place it on the centre of bearing, and hit it with a hammer, it pushes in, compacts the grease creating a hydraulic pressure effect, and out comes the bearing.

Hi Sam.....good video, keep up the good work. As to installing the rear main, a person can use a clean block of wood that would span across the outside diameter of the crank which gives a soft but firm pressure to gently push in the seal and then work your way around the seal. Using the old obviously works well also.

I install everything again, and go to start, and fuck my life, oil everywhere again....

No hoist so jacked up on cinder blocks and a dolley under the motor to slide it out. Ripped the blown motor off the 5MT and slid the new one under. Could not get the torque converter off the good motor to replace with a flywheel and clutch. The motor was too heavy to get in the back seat. I ripped off the head and got the block in the can. Drove to the shop and they got the torque converter off and put the new flywheel/clutch on. Get back to the car and get the block out, put the head on and time it. Now to slide it under the car and line up the motor and tranny. NO IDEA WHAT A CLUTCH ALIGNMENT TOOL WAS! For 3 days I was there trying to get this thing to line up and could not figure out what was going on. Pure frustration.

@robemail2 2 жыл бұрын

If it was Teflon (PTFE) then it should have been installed dry - zero oil. The way Teflon works is that it transfers some of itself to the part being sealed effectively making a double seal. Any oil in there will make the PTFE seal fail way too soon. I think this seal was just rubber.

Sam once again your doing brilliant shade tree work. Thank you so much for the Kentucky Clutch source. Here in Austin when we need hydraulic lines and parts we run down the street from Jessie James speed shop where there is an excellent company that deals in all things hydraulic. If they don’t have it or a quality sub at pennies on the dollar vs OEM you don’t need it. There has to be a place in your area that deals in hydraulic specialty. Look in Brandon they like to be close to heavy equipment and farm equipment. Good luck and we’ll done. The Cuban 57 chev community would be impressed and they weave fan belts out of banana leaves!!!

Sam: "Get the smallest mallet you have. Shame on me for not having a smaller mallet" Produces a claw hammer and proceeds to use that instead.

No reason to be a left hand thread …..suspect it was been done up tighter and snapped !!

May be try this, when you do the rear seal, start it then bolt the flywheel on and use that to push the seal home, take it off and the amount left to go is the thickness of the cardboard shim you make and put on top of the seal and then put the flywheel back on and remove and re-check it, job done.

Aston Martin owners aren't renowned for common sense or knowledge - otherwise they'd just buy a Ford Fusion. Fwiw I used to wind up a cow-orker regularly by asking how well his Ford Fusion (Jaguar) was driving today...
