how much is the DVD and is it very detailed?

I think the set is about Â£40. Pops up on ebay every now and then. And yeh it seems detailed enough to do a basic rebuild

It is good enough.. (the DVD). I think it goes on a bit to be honest. for example using loads of time to show you grinding down side seals, one after another after another. When they could have just showed you one!

The "apprentice" guy in the vid is a bit of an annoying fat ....... but hey ho!

:rollin yeh i know what you mean. And your right about the going on a bit with the side seal. Still, they show you it all and it should be enough for the amatuer builder

Maybe one day i\'ll actually have to use mine in anger :rollin

For someone who\'s never rebuilt an engine, it\'s good.

Doubt I would need to use mine again though. There\'s not much to these engines.

Did make me laugh when he dropped one of the apex seals in to the block when it was nearly complete and they had to strip it back down.
They do look simple enough to work on but its always nice to have something to help you if you get stuck
