Triumph Spitfire Engine Strip Down
After many years of owning a Triumph Spitfire Mk3 which is currently fitted with a MkIV engine I thought it was about time I stripped down the spare Spitfire Mk3 FD engine I've had in my shed for the last few years; in preparation for rebuild and reuniting the FD engine with the Spitfire Mk3 Project

Road Trip to a Railway

For a while now Conor and I have talked about taking our Spitfires to a heritage railway for a day out, and at long last we did! I thought I'd bring my cameras along to filmed the day, although sadly much of the exhibitions we're closed mostly due to being out of season, so I cobbled together what I could with the time we had for you all to enjoy! We had a great time at the Gloucestershire and ...

As the weather is getting nicer towards spring time, Alex and I decided to take our car out for a run to a destination that we had never been to before. It was a good opportunity to get out and about with our classic British Sports Cars
Rover P6 Water Leak
Просмотров 9527 месяцев назад
The thing about using a classic car all year round means it comes with faults you just have to deal with there and then. Sometimes you get lucky and its an easy fix, other times you have to improvise until you can get the part. As I know I've got a fault on the Rover, I thought this time it would be nice to bring you all along to see if I could fix it on the same day I found the fault

New Years Day 2024, and what a way to start the New Years with a magnificent display of Classic Cars at Brooklands, There was so much to do, it was hard to capture everything on video. Still this does give me an excuse to go again during 2024, there was so much to see that it would keep any petrol head amused for many hour

Rover P6 Road Trip to somewhere anywhere

It's been a while since I've made a video, and with helping out so many friends over the last few months I've just needed a bit of me time. So I decided to get in my Rover, with my dog and go for a trip out somewhere, anywhere on a random road trip and see where I end up #RoverP6 #roadtrip #classiccars

Hornby Visitor Centre Margate

Today I fulfilled a childhood dream and visited the Hornby Hobbies Visitors Centre in Margate. Wonderful place, and at £5 to take a look around, bargain! I honestly cannot recommend it enough. The place for me brought back a lot of good memories, and I was also surprised to see how much there was discounted within the shop. If you have watched Honrby A Model World on TV then I highly recommend ...

The event is hosted a Vintage and Veteran Car Show on New Years Day and has grown with more Classic Cars attending along with Motorcycles.

Happy New Years Everyone!! 2022 was a tough year for everyone, and I'm not alone with how prices have gone up and up. It has been hard and we have all had to make cuts hear and there. I've not done as many RUclips videos as I would have liked to, as having to hold back the penny for parts just to keep food in my tummy and a roof over my head. However I'm hoping this year things will be a bit br...
Triumph Spitfire Diff Rebuild at Pete Cox and Son Sports Cars

Today was a fantastic day at Pete Cox and Son Sports Cars where I got to lend a hand in in rebuilding my own diff for the Triumph Spitfire Project. Pete Cox and Son have been going for over 40 years, and what they don't know about Triumph transmissions isn't worth knowing so it was a pleasure to have them working on my diff and also to be invited in helping do it, and being able to have a look ...

What's Happening in the World of Steve 2022?
I own a triumph TR 250 With headers that go into a super trap with the baffles taken out it sounds pretty good if I have to replace mine I’m gonna go with what’s on this video from what I’ve heard and seen it sounds pretty good
Thanks Steve, that’s tomorrow’s job!
Does the pump arm need to behind the cam or on the front side? I know on some British sports cars this is important to make sure the cam actuates the fuel pump.
You just push it up and in so the the camshaft operates the pump
Excellent Video Steve 👍 Where do you support vehicle on axle stands ?
Back in the day it was a quite simple robbery stop a train unload it, wish I was involved, I have met Bruce Reynolds son.
That’s awesome!!
pity you got bloody music playing whilst your talking makes it hard to hear what you are saying
At some point I’ll re release the video with lower music
Love your videos. Do you have one on replacing the rear outer axle and hub assembly. Unfortunately, that is my next project with my TR6.
Cheers mate, not at the moment, but never say never I might make one one day 👍
fun fact about that specific lightning, one of the panels were swapped with a panel from XR770, The registration of XS925 is still on the inside of that panel on XR770
Monza!
I'm a subscriber and really like your advice on tr6s. one question, I was replacing my front wheel bearings using your video and today or no reason it said private viewing only. if possible could you explain why I can no longer get the video? thank you
It’s being updated with better sound etc 👍
Thank you for the update, I bought the TR6 in 1969 and have used your videos many times. Thanks again.
Hi sir, I am Zack from California and I have a Triumph a 67 model the spitfire 4 mk2. My engine is an 1100 cc engine. My question is would it be possible to mate my original transmission to the 1300 cc or the 1500 cc variant of this engine? Thanks!
In a word yes, you can mount any Triumph Spitfire engine to any Triumph Spitfire gearbox, the only real issues you’ll have are 1500 gearboxes need a different clutch plate, but with what your suggesting, just use the clutch you have on your current engine. Then the other thing is, your current gearbox will be a 3 rail, there not as strong as a single rail, fitted to the 1500s but they are still interchangeable with what you are doing
Hi Steve, I like your videos, you have similar taste in cars to me. I have two TR6s and a 1969 Rover P6B.. One of my TR s is very similar to yours it's a 1969 one in Royal Blue built in February 1969.
Great stuff, I’d love a P6B series 1, but they are hens teeth compared to the series 2
I prefer the looks of the series 1.They spoiled them a bit with the series 2,the plastic grille doesn't look as good as the metal one, and the finishing strips ruined the lines of the car.
Utile , già fatto grazie
You’re welcome 👍
What paint is it Steve?
Could you do a video on fitting/removing the hardtop on the Spitfire Mk3 please. Hardly any info online and I think I'm missing some fittings for mine so would really like to see how it goes on. Loving your content.
Hi Mick, yes it’s on the cards to do a video on this, it’s just right now I’m struggling to find the time to make the videos. It took me a lot of hunting around to get all the correct fixings for my Mk3 hardtop as no one makes anything for them. Once fitted it changes the dynamics of the car. Keep your eyes on the channel if I get some free time in the autumn I might make a video on it 👍
Blimey I don't remember it being that complicated.....
There not too bad, it’s just nuts and bolts 👍
It might be an old video but it's still worth its weight in gold! I'm faced with a similar issue in NZ and just steeling myself to get started. Steve, your blood is worth bottling thanks! Geoff
Cheers Geoff, glade you enjoy my content 👍
Lovely collection Steve 🤩 Let me know if you might like to feature in my owner stories series of driving videos, these would be a great addition 😎👍
Cheers but unless you very very local to me then unlikely as I’ve very little free time at the moment. Appreciate your offer though 👍
@@SteveDentonClassics no problem Steve, I'd be happy to wait for a convenient time & travel to you at some point. I get the impression you're not far, I'll send a message on insta 👍😎
Great Vid thanks Steve, Do you know the difference in the current draw between the standard oem pump and this Bosch style pump? I have run an original Bosch pump for some time but due to dirty fuel I am now fitting a new 'Bosch Style' Thanks - Richard
Most modern ones are Sytec or a Bosch style type as Bosch no longer make a high pressure pump. The Sytec is a good pump, and is well developed by TRGB 👍
Do you remember how long this install took u guys? Less than a day? Thank you
A morning work really 👍
its standard for me
I’ve had both styles on mine, but I find standard is easier to live with 👍
Great presentation! Why more specialized model specific exhaust manufacturers don’t put together comparison reference videos like this is beyond me.
Cheers, yes it would be a nice thing to do 👍
Noce one... going to upgrade mine. Are these easy to adjust?
Dead easy, they are just turn click to the setting you want
@@SteveDentonClassics I take it you have to lift the car?
Are they all 0.25?
For most British Leyland cars the rule of thumb is 10 thou or 0.25mm feeler gauge gap for the tappets, if the car has a hot cam thus may vary, but as a rule of thumb 10 thou or 0.25mm is good 👍
Excellent video & a very nice Rover, thank you
Cheers, glade you enjoyed watching 👍
Steve, to check the transmission fluid, do I have to remove all that around the stick shift? (Left hand drive US model).
Alright Steve, back in 2010 I made a documentary about a bunch of Toddington lads on an adventure to repatriate a couple of Stanier 8F’s from Turkey back to the UK. Imagine you’d enjoy it! Hope you’re good mate - I’ll bring my Frogeye up to you sometime this summer. ruclips.net/video/Juy2-kwqL-Q/видео.htmlsi=5s3-CoRs4IG1SOEv
Engines from that era needed a refresh after 60,000 miles anyway… head off for a decoke, new rings, timing chain, maybe new bearing shells….
Very true, it’s the days when engines could be stripped and rebuilt with a simple tool kit 👍
oh the missus would have fit if got oil on the patio too (!) cardboard to protect that and the oil pan ;-)
I once took a mini engine apart in the living room when the wife was away. I got oil on the carpet so moved a rug over only to discover she had laid the rug over a paint oil stain she had made
looking forward to more vids , one small bit of advice when filming in sun make sure the subject ( engine ) is on a bench in the sun so we see it more clearly , thanks
Will do my best 👍
What are ya gonna do with that there engine ?
Hopefully, an overbore, crank regrind and balance, block skim. Duplex timing gear, head reworked for unleaded and a new rocker shaft 👍
@@SteveDentonClassics 👌
You made it look so simple, good job!
The stripdown is the easy bit, getting it right on the rebuild, that's the bit that matters 👍
What l really want to know Steve ......ls who cleans your overalls ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ......you mucky pup !! 😄 lt really didn't make sense as to why it was seized . I rebuilt a couple of mini engines back in the. day ( early '70's ) they both lasted less than a 100 miles !!! Thanks Steve
I think it because I too the plugs out last year, and the damp has got inside it. Well it's getting rebuilt now so all should be good 👍
You do remind me of my 18yr old self!!😂…….can I send you some gloves?……Great video
I do and don't wear gloves, as I prefer barrier cream 👍
Nice Sunday morning viewing before I go out to do a bit on my P6... Thanks Steve.. (Phil)
Cheers Phil 👍
Hi Steve. There's something so evocative about steam . The South Devon Railway & Dartmouth Steam Railway. Two beautiful railways . The little diesel took me back to when we hopped on at Kingskerswell and went to Paignton , the exhausts sounded like tuba's ! My favourite was watching the Castles steaming out of Newton Abbot ....halcyon days indeed ! Thanks Steve .
South Devon Railway is such a lovely line, I may take a drive out your way in the summer time 👍
@@SteveDentonClassics Let me know ......l can offer you free accomodation .
I’m a member of the West Somerset Railway and ridden on Dinmore Manor as well.
Oh cool, I used to be part of Llangollen, and have ridden on the footplate of Foxcote a number of time. Foxcote and Cookham have to be my favourites 👍
This worked well. Think we need another video day
We'll line up another day soon mate
Love old steam trains.
Can't go wrong, they are magnificent, and relaxing to be around
I see what you did there. Now I am going to have to go and have a look myself !
It's a cracking little line, and well worth an exploration 👍
I do love an old DMU and a steam loco of course!
It's like another old, just great nostalgia 👍
You can never be out of place in a Triumph !
So true 👍
Hi Steve love it of course Triumphs (Triumph🎉) MK3 Spitfire owner in Jasmine 1970 registered Nov 1969.26 years this year Kev East Devon👍👍🇬🇧
Clutch pedal to the floor. Black gunk in bottom of master. Replacing master and slave to be safe. Steve, are there chances copper tube may be gunked up. Can it be cleaned ? Should I replace in your revered opinion? Thanks Henry
The black gunk is likely to be the seals giving up, so it's time to replace 👍
Great to get the cars out! Looked like a fantastic day.
Is indeed, spring is hear, so the cars must be enjoyed 👍
Is it possible to fit a full modern ignition system including injection, ECU coil pack etc?
You can fit as much as you like when it comes to an MGB, there are plenty of company’s out there that do modern mods for them. It just comes down to how much you want to spend
@@SteveDentonClassics AHH that's good, I've had old carbs before and they changed depending on the weather from my experience, would love a classic on modern ECU running smooth and reliable
Hi guys , can you convert the rubber bumper Mgb gt to have same front / back bumpers as Sebring ?
Yes, it’s possible, but you need to cut parts of the front off that hold the heavy original rubber bumpers
I used to put my hard top on bye myself back in the 70s these 2are making a meal out of it with there cups of tea and kit kats 0:10
With a TR its so much easier to lift on and off with a friend helping 👍
Looks pretty --- Good --- for doing it all yourself ---- Will watch to see if you put out anymore videos on the MGB-GT ----- Thank you for another good video ----- Have a Good week ----- Rodney
Sadly I don't own the car anymore, but keep your eyes on my channel as I may buy another one, one day!
Good to see David --- really enjoyed watching him in his Garage ---- then at Goodwood ----- and then ---- was like he disappeared ---- but looking at the year you made this ---- it was the time I was watching him ----- So --- hope he is doing well ---- missed the Garage Work ----- you must have put on a different valence than David's ----- you put your License on your hood --- where David had his down below ------- Making the changes does make it have an all-new appearance ----- Will watch #3 to see what else you'll be doing ----- Thank You for the video ---- If you should see David again ----- Tell him Hello ----- Thanks Again and have a Good Week ----- Rodney
David's one is made out of alloy, and is very much custom to the car. He only lives less then a mile away from me, so I do see him every now and then. I think his just busy with work, and having things done to his house has meant a stop to the videos for now, but I'm sure he'll start making them again soon!
Great looking motor!
Yeah it’s a pretty cool car 👍
