Update from Workshop Apprentice James (Patreon)

Hi Patrons,

James here back with another update from the Workshop.

The Valentine now has all its wheels back on and is holding its own weight! We are now starting the process of checking things over to get the engine running. I have cleaned and refitted the main oil filter and cleaned and re-oiled the three air cleaners.

We’ve also been working on the Churchill, doing a service and checking the general health of the vehicle after our display season. We’ve drained and replaced the engine oil, a full air cleaner service and re-oil, oil filter clean, compressor oil drain and replace, gearbox oil drain and replace and, closer to its next outing, we will oil all the wheels. Photo 2 shows some of the air filters.

The Churchill service has fitted well with my current college week, where we have been stripping and rebuilding engines, just on smaller vehicles. I'm looking forward to putting more of my new skills into practice over the coming months.

That's all from me for now, but thank you as always for your support.

James.
