CLASSIC LAND ROVER SERIES 2A RESTORATION PT6 - ENGINE - Solenoid, Starter Motor & Compression Test

My Classic Land Rover Series 2a Restoration continues and in Engine Part 2 I try do get done a Solenoid Test, a Starter Motor Test, a Compression Test and a Ignition and Dash Light Test, all to see if there is hope for this engine and getting this old classic car running again.

Playlist for all Land Rover Restoration videos:    • Land Rover Series Restoration | 1968 2A 2....  

I start where we left off in part one, BIG PROBLEMS WITH MY LAND ROVER SERIES 2A ENGINE :    • BIG ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH MY LAND ROVER SER...  

And I do a series of tests to figure out where we stand with this engine, and it does not look too good.

Last time we couldn't get the ignition key to send a signal to the solenoid so we wasn't able to test the starter motor or do a "proper" compression test. My goal this week was to complete the mission I started out on the week before.

On a 7:1 engine the book says 145psi, I'm not sure we are quite there yet with this engine but I am aiming to get it over a 100psi in the end. OPTIMIST!

This is the second 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. The goal is to have it running before the summer.

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.
