How to Fit a Cylinder Head: Smoky’s Engine Fix Explained (1977 Land Rover 109)

Описание: How to Fit a Cylinder Head: Smoky’s Engine Fix Explained! (1977 Land Rover 109)
In this hands-on video, we dive into the practical steps of fitting a cylinder head back onto Smoky, our cherished 1977 Land Rover 109. After discovering a leaking gasket and damaged welch plugs in our last adventure, we took the engine head to Tinus at NYL MOTOR ENGINEERS. With over 30 years of auto engineering expertise, Tinus pinpointed the issue: two tiny holes in the welch plugs, causing engine coolant to mix with the oil.
Armed with fresh welch plugs and a trusty new gasket, Walter takes us through the process of reassembling the engine. In this "how-to" guide, he shares valuable tips and tricks specific to antique Land Rovers, including:
• How to prepare the cylinder head and gasket for a proper fit.
• Common pitfalls to avoid when tightening bolts and ensuring even pressure.
• Checking for potential leaks before firing up the engine.
Once everything is back together, we bring Smoky to life and put the engine to the test. The result? A smooth-running Landy, ready for the road again!
To cap off the day, we parked Smoky alongside his classic companion, the Morris 850 (better known as a Mini), creating a nostalgic scene for vintage car enthusiasts.
