🔧 Fitting Liner Seals – Done Properly 🚜

We’ve just uploaded a new video from the workshop showing how to fit liner seals into a Leyland engine block.

This example uses a Leyland 4/98 engine, but the same principles apply across a wide range of BMC and Leyland engines.

A key point we cover is using pure soap to help fit the seals — and importantly, why you should avoid washing-up liquid, as it can cause corrosion.

We also show when it’s worth using a sealant on corroded blocks to ensure everything seals as it should 👍

💬 Have you fitted liner seals before, or is this a new job for you?

🚜 Leyland 285 Restoration – Worth a Watch

Ballyvourney Workshop are currently working on the restoration of a Leyland 285 and documenting the progress along the way 👍

It’s well worth checking out their YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/)
— particularly their latest video on the Leyland 285 braking system.

And we couldn’t help but notice… some very nice hats in the video too! 👀🎩

Great to see these tractors being restored and shared 🚜

📸 Calendar Photos Wanted – 2027 🚜

We’re starting to think about our 2027 calendar, and we’d love to include more of your tractors 👍

If you’ve got a Nuffield, Leyland or Marshall, we’d be really pleased to see your photos.

📷 What we’re looking for:
• Landscape orientation (very important for the calendar layout)
• High quality images – the clearer the better
• Working tractors or fully restored – both are equally welcome
• Nice country scenes always work well (they seem to get approved for kitchen walls! 😉)
• Workshop shots are fine too

👤 We generally prefer no people in the photos, but if the tractor is working, that’s understandable — just make sure anyone featured is happy for their photo to be used (and potentially seen in kitchens around the world!).

📧 Please email your high-quality images to:
[email protected]

You’re also welcome to post them here so we can all have a look 👍

Whether your tractor is freshly restored or still in its working clothes, don’t be shy — we’d love to see it 🚜

🔧 Following On – Valve Cap Setup 🚜

Following on from our post earlier this week about the valve caps on the BMC 3.8 engine, here’s a useful picture showing the correct setup for the inlet and exhaust valve caps.

As mentioned before, they may look similar, but they are different — and fitting them incorrectly is something we see quite often in the workshop.

This diagram helps show clearly how they should be arranged 👍

If you missed the video earlier this week, you can watch it here:

In this video, we demonstrate how to correctly fit cup-type core plugs into a cast iron engine block, using a Leyland 4/98 engine as an example.This method a...
