Hi, Here is an idea on how you may be able repair your Amanco cylinder head. Cut a patch out of a section of castiron pipe that has the same radius as the head and have it brazed in. I hope this helps zeller200

regaskin, many thanks. You have many very interesting videos on here, I'm glad you like my videos too. I hope to get the Amanco sorted out in the next few months.

488scooby, many thanks, hope you can find the engine your looking for.

Hi steamwally, thanks for the sub. I have been following your channel for a long time now with great interest, especially the Amanco restoration. Like the rest of your subscribers i was waiting in great anticipation to see the end result but unfortunately that suffered a setback but i'm sure you'll get there soon. Great informative channel, keep it up.

Jim,

The water is brown because the pump was used to shift turds in a previous life!!!! Not suitable for drinking lol

I know the silencer is an amanco silencer as it's the one from the hired man, I just thought I'd try it on the Wolseley to see what it sounded like and also to see if the paint on it was heatproof....it wasn't!

Hope you have a great holiday, bring the sun back with you please.

Phill.

That looks good, Phill. Was the water brown before it went through the pump? Have you tried standing the Villiers Tank on a brick (or two)? I want to see the Amanco running! By the way, that is an Amanco silencer you have on the WD8. I'm off to Egypt on Friday from Heathrow, when I get to Luxor on the 5th, I'll be going looking for engines on the West Bank.
