Awesome job! As a marine engineer in the U.S. Navy I'll be so happy to see that Engineroom restored and looking bright!
-
Simon you forgot to say “It’s paint your boat time!” Seriously, great job!
-
You've got the big Cat purring like a kitten. Good job, Simon! 🤜💥🤛
-
What i love about your channel, is that there is something for everyone. Deck work, if i'm honest doesnt really float my boat, but engines, mechanical bits a bobs? Love it!
-
Said it before and I’ll say it again…. Si you’re a mechanical genius 👍🏻
-
There is a special paint called Glyptal that you can use for the inside of crankcases. It is commonly used on farm tractors that sit for long periods of time. Prevents surface rust inside from condensation.
-
For someone who knows zero about engines this was a beautifully clear video and ingenious problem solving techniques. Well done creative man!
-
You are one of the best can do people on the planet Simon. nice one dude and a pleasure to watch your mind operating to get collets off and on.
-
Simon, it's great to watch a man who knows his stuff. It was a pleasure to watch you get her running again. You are going to love working on these engines in the future. Well, most of the time😂
-
Excellent job Simon!
-
An electric pre oiler pump would be a nice to have. Pumps up the oil pressure before you turn the engine. Bypass oil filters are great. They talked a small percentage of the oil flow and filter to 2 micron. Oil lasts longer and of course so does the engine.
-
A quick tip on them keepers / collets just a dab of wheel bearing grease on the inside edge will help hold them to the valve stem when you are re-install them for the others when you do them.
-
Sarinda's heart is in very good hands Simon, well done 👍.
-
Excellent job Simon, just get on and do, sounded sweet, well done. Stay well.
-
You certainly do know how to overcome any problem. A throughly great channel . 🌴😎
-
I need a cuppa tea now ! Friggin awesome Simon !!! That's a very very happy CAT !!! Good job !!! 😉🙃😎 NZ
-
Simon's problem solving skills never cease to amaze me! Changing that valve spring in situ was awesome work. Well done 👏
-
That motor sounds really nice.
-
Really enjoyed that, Simon. You (and we) will really enjoy the full engine overhaul in a couple of year's time.
-
Watching you compress the valve is evidence of a misspent youth! I was smiling from ear to ear.
