BIG ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH MY LAND ROVER SERIES 2A

Land Rover Series 2a Restoration is in full swing and in this video I am starting on the biggest problem with this car, the Engine. The Series 2a engine, the Two and a Quarter Petrol engine, 2.25L, is usually called the trusty engine as it always starts and run, except min doesn't. I will perform a manual compression test and I try to figure out the wiring for the starter motor, so that we can get the engine to crank over for the compression test. With manual in hand and wiring diagram I dive deep into the Series inner workings to figure it out. On a 7:1 engine the book says 145psi, I'm not sure we are quite there yet with this engine. This is the first of what I can only guess to be one of many videos on the Engine and on how I try to get this 200kg paperweight to run. It will be a nice DIY series for you hobby mechanics out there and a fun watch for you more experienced ones. I will do my best to make it interesting and enjoyable to watch. Enjoy this Classic Car Restoration Project and I hope you will follow along the Series 2a Land Rover build.
