It's wonderful to see someone like Roger working to such frighteningly high standards, an example to us all. I've watched several of your videos and enjoyed all of them. If you want to learn about E Type restoration they couldn't be better.

Thanks so much Mike, very kind of you. Roger has a real passion for it and the engine reassembly is going to be starting soon so I hope to visit him to see some of it in progress and catch it on film! More to follow soon on my progress too!

​@@fossewayclassiccarworkshopI am really looking forward to seeing the rebuild. I am looking for a good usable Series 2 E Type and learning what I can in the meantime. I was a teenager in the 60s and that era is what I identify with. I raced Minis in the 70s and did 10 complete nut and bolt stripdown and rebuilds in the 90s. The great thing about the E Type is everything seems so accessible once the bonnet's off. You are doing a great job.

Bumping up compression and going with hardened valve seats. Modern upgrades. Balanced engine will provide a little more power and run smoother. You're going all in. This game ain't cheap. Love these videos.

Yes, it’s going to be a cracker of an engine by the time it is done. The plan is take the best of modern knowledge for reliability, smoothness and hopefully lack of leaks so it becomes the best of classic motoring without some of the traditional downsides! Not cheap but I think it’ll be worth it. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Superbly interesting, and very educational, excellent video - AAA+++!!!

Thanks very much Andrew. I was conscious that it’s considerably longer than my other videos but Roger has so much interesting information that I had to keep it in!

Loved this one, Graham. Good to know Roger does full lip seals for MGA engines, too!

Great video, I had my flywheel ground on my 4.2 and they took that much off the release bearing was too far away.

Thank you! Oh dear, that’s not good. A new flywheel for this engine will hopefully avoid that pitfall! 🤞🏼

@@fossewayclassiccarworkshop yes I got a good used one, it was all the work re taking the engine out that was annoying.

Great videos you do in general. I am ongoing with a E-type 1966 FHC project so I gets a lots of inspiration. Thank you. It seems that The Classic Engine Workshop for sure know what the are doing. But I just wonder what such an engine project will cost at TCEW? Can you be so kind to give an indication on how much approximately it cost?

Thanks for the compliments, watching and for getting in touch! 😀 I have learned that each engine restoration can vary depending on the state of the engine at the start, what needs replacing and any upgrades. This one is a substantial investment but not ridiculous. I’m sure Roger would be happy to give a broader estimate based on his experience of restoring quite a few XK engines now.
