What a brilliant channel!! I came here via HubNut's 100K subscribers bus drive. Who knew busses (the classic cars are great to, Oh and Compo but don't tell him) were so much fun. I have binge watched all episodes from No 1. I like the channel so much I bought both T shirts. Pete, you have made Busses both interesting and very entertaining. Thank you.

We want more!! Cracker of an episode. Can't believe ABB got the job of overhauling an AEC In 1994! A fascinating tidbit right there. I'm guessing London Buses were sending out overhaul work by then and that 590 was considered viable for rebuild even though they had already been fitting modern engines to them. For once, an anticipated KZread video exceeded my expectations. Wish I was there to lend a hand. You're a lucky guy.

I've been following this since episode 1 with great enthusiasm and sincerely thank you for this series - it's brill!. However I have noted in recent episodes the focus on the bus restoration is shifting away, which is a shame and watching other content is of interest but not the same as as the expected restoration work in my opinion. I was looking forward to this episode (sad youtuber I am :-) ) when I received a notification this episode had been released, but disappointed no progress reported on the restoration project - don't get me wrong still an enjoyable and interesting episode but not the expected restoration content.

If it’s just to start the bus putting a splash of diesel fuel in the cylinders overnight or longer, may help to help free the cylinder rings. Also disconnect the prop shaft so your not turning the gearbox that may help reduce the drag on the engine

@Pete And His Bus The CB360G was imported from America with 4500 miles. That's the trouble. It was lying idle too long. The piston rings were seized in the right cylinder. I have had a barrel rebored and oversized pistons to suit. It has a new stator as it wouldn't charge. Hopefully it will be reliable at last, like my Yamahas.

might be quicker to do an engine swap (even if it is one of the later IVECO etc ones for now) and rebuild the AEC in the dry, at least you will find if it needs machining.
