Tim mentions in the Oil Change video that you can re-use the copper washers by heating them up and then quenching them, restoring their ductility. I do the same, as long as the washer looks reasonably decent. Below is the relevant segment:Hi Tim,
Thanks for posting another video. Do you reuse the copper crush washers by heating them up? Your washer looked a bit different than the ones that Rootes supplied (picture below). Wondering what you are using for your washers.
Thanks,
Mike
There was no audio when I watched the video... lolHe mentions in the video that you can re-use the copper washers by heating them up and then quenching them, restoring their ductility. I do the same, as long as the washer looks reasonably decent.
Ha! Actually, I meant he mentions it in the Oil Change video - that *does* have audio. I'll correct the post for clarity!There was no audio when I watched the video... lol
Sounds great. Hey, why not use the front directory page of the Rootes Light Cars manual as the framework, then you can organize them by service area - engine, brakes, gearbox, etc.?There are currently 133 videos on The Sunbeam Alpine Channel and I am working on a hyperlinked list that would allow you to see every video that is available and then go straight to it. If I can sort it out I will publish it in the next few weeks.
