Just found a guy named Elin Yakov that has series of 6 20 minute or so YouTube videos that speak to your concerns. 

The engine starts already disassembled so the videos only concern reassembly and afterwards.

It looks pretty thorough. Here is the link to the first.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O2ntv1dJP0

 

As for the Wheeler Dealers TR4 episode, I have seen the whole show twice now and was glad they did something of direct interest to me. 

However I noticed a couple of points that I took issue with. First, I have the same Marx rear seal and per the instructions the aluminum halves are supposed to be centered with the supplied tool without the crank being in the way and Ant didn’t do it that way.  Second, Ant should really learn the difference between an alternator and a generator. Entertaining either way. LOL

I enjoyed the video, but feel it lacked a real disassembly/reassembly description.  My ‘63 TR4 is in my garage - in pieces, including the engine.  I took it completely apart with the intention of a complete restoration (not to the level of competing at shows - want to drive it again, like I did when I was 26 [am 76 now].  The reassembly task is very intimidating for fear I’ll screw it up.  Are there other videos out there that that show a complete reassembly?  Also, for you folks that have the valve cover vent to carb filters:  there are no filters to accommodate that.  How have others handled this?  My car is a SoCal TR4, and model was listed by the DMV as a 1965 because that was the year it was 1st registered (CA law).  CT37815 L

TR4s started with SU H6 carbs, did a trial run of ZS carbs (1000 I think), then went back to H6s before they switched to ZS for a longer run. Eventually the ZS carbs were replaced by the SU HS6 carb for the rest of the TR4A run. Somewhere in my notes I have the dates and the VIN numbers. I am happy to dig them out if anyone really cares 😊 I have the H6 carbs on my 57 TR3 (John Swauger’s uncle’s car) and HS6 carbs on my 62 TR4 and 67 TR4A. Obviously the HS6 carbs are not original to this early TR4.

Here is an interesting video of a TR4 engine refresh.  Wish I could do it that quickly!!!

it look like an early car – it has the round engine mounts, but it also has ZS carbs.

 

Clearly I was wrong – I thought the ZS didn’t appear until the TR4a
