Elvis Rebuilds A Modded Engine On This TVR Griffith | Wheeler Dealers

Queria muito esse episódio dublado 😕

TURBO CHARGE IT !

THANK YOU

Elle ressemble à une viper

One of my mates Andy Butterworth had one of these and it was awesome but not for the passenger😃😃🤣🤣

The pocketed pistons give it away. 400s didnt have that.

A "strong engine", and it was "fastidiously maintained", and then it blew up. 🙂

I bloody HATE TVRs!!! But I did enjoy Mike calling it a "hairy-chested BRIT!!!"

so you've taken an engibe apart that was healthy for no reason at least it will have fresh head gaskets

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I have no idea what that scumbag Mike has anything to do with the show. He adds nothing to the show. Rather have a show with ant,Elvis and ed rather

British cars are so damn ugly

There's a much easier way of finding out the cc, fill the cylinder with a liquid, suck it out with a big syringe & measure, obviously make sure the valves are closed & take into consideration the size of the combustion chamber.

This program was not interesting at all without the host Edd China, no offense.

Top end rebuild. Hope you broke it in before thrashing it.

Shouldn’t buy another....really shouldn’t....too late!

Can someone correct me if im wrong but i was sure cam lobe height affected how far the valves opened and its the overall shape of the lobe that affects the duration

£16,500 + engine rebuild more like. Also, a cam with taller lobes increases lift, not duration

Quacks about cam wearing out, proceeds to install flat tappet lifters............ I have a feeling that this is the junko buick V8 you right side of the ponders grabbed from us back in the 50s. Pushrods are archaic. What would be cool is the Lotus headed DOHC 32V 5.7L out of the 90-94 Corvettes. 16 fuel injectors, 32V it can breath and scream up to 7,500rpm+

Should magnaflux the block between the mains and the camshaft for a longitudinal crack. Harsh treatment using the clutch with a manual box can crack the block dumping oil pressure when hot.

Changing cams every 50k....

Nice

The joys of dealing with cars from small volume British manufacturers, never quite know what you are going to find. I remember them sending a Cerbera along for Clarkson's Unleashed On cars DVD and they had stuck a Tuscan challenge V8 in it so it would do well in the drag race, it did rather too well and destroyed the entire line up of supercars.

Hi. Am I the only person that has noticed that this tvr has a griffith 500 body, so why is it running the 4.0 or 4.3 litre motor when it should have the 5 litre motor as standard, and what's all this crap about them knocking the camshaft out at 50k, I have several rover v8 over many years including the last 20 with my own 1994 griffith 500 and have never had this problem, if these motors have regular oil changes with a good quality oil this shouldn't happen.

Our neighbor, in CT, had a Ford 289 Griffith. Very fast little car.

Imagine, the company give you a car and then drive it sideways, get a bonus. Clarksonesque.

He’s had more mechanics than rod Stewart as had wives

IM AN AMERICAN! There is a couple great looking TVR's

the Rover V8,s are hopeless. put an alloy LS3 in it. a car that size needs 450hp at least and 480+ ft lbs torque at least. A stock chev Ls3 will do the job.

Omg, Steve drove me round Goodwood in that Griffith, I’ve never felt so sick in my life! Earth shattering pace back then.

I believe we need a tad longer videos! Loved it!

Love watching Elvis work his magic, the man is a genius.

Yeah I hate having to change my cams every 50k 🥴

The death sledge.

Please rebuild VW GTI MK5 🙏 I like this video.

Love TRV's Evis was the best mechanic!

Is not the Rover V8 made by GM in the states?

So how about it ?
Are you Guys open to New Technology ?
.

I live Elvis he’s leaps and bound’s above the Aussie

Has MOT but has been sorn, fair enough it is winter I guess.

Magic number on the cams is 50k... Yikes 😬

Guys, work on a Renault Kangoo I, please.

My friend has one. Was faster than the Ferrari at the time.

These are the taillights from Opel Vectra/Vauxhall Cavalier but up side down
