Sunbeam Alpine: Making 'Special' Tools

This video shows how I make various rough and ready tools that will do the job of the 'Special' Churchill tools that were originally used by Rootes. Specifically this video shows me make an alternative to the Churchill RG225. This tool lets you tighten up the cylinder head bolts on a Rootes 1592 or 1725 engine without disturbing the rockers. Churchill tools can be very difficult to get hold of and can be very expensive if you can find them. For just a couple of pounds and about an hour of effort I was able to make a tool that does the job perfectly well. If you rebuild Rootes engines this could be a useful tool for you.
