"Could have been a dentist" Can you imagine Derek as your dentist? "Sit down in the ole chair here while I give you some knock out juice. Then we'll pull those molars out with the extratalator 2000."
😂😂😂
The extractor 2000 is a piece of spider line attached to a 67 Ford F250 so hang on to the chair when he comes off the clutch 😂😂😂
My childhood dentist lol "turn up the gas doc!"
I'm terrified of the dentist, but I probably wouldn't mind going to see Dr.Bieri😂😂😂
I feel I d go in with a simple cleaning and come out with a gold bridge😂😂!
Derek over here just dropping Lord of the rings length content ON THE WEEKLY ... massive respect!
He even had 'rings' in the video!
I see what you did there! My favorite channel!
Anyone know of a eco sensor goin and causing what seems transmission slips the car is 2010 hyundai elantra and where to find it
Derek do you know need help
And quality*
My grandpa is 83 years old. He loves your channel, he watches every single one of your videos. My Grandma passed away a few years back so he hangs out at my house everyday watching your UA-cam videos. It would mean allot if you could send a video wishing him the best or something idk. I just want to do something special for him because he's a very special person in my life. His name is Tom Archuleta.
Please do this Derek ! 😊
Yes Derek should give this gramps a shoutout!
This needs to happen 🙏🙏🙏
Love your videos❤
I agree it would be very cool if he did this. It's just a very slippery slope. He'd have to start making a separate video each week doing shout-outs.
Derek, as a 20 year plus auto shop teacher, I have to commend you on your "Favorite Uncle" approach to passing along our Trade. That you explain the levels of beater with a heater to race engine levels of repair is admirable. Not every repair has to be expensive, JUST AS LONG AS IT IS SAFE. Or as I used to say after a student finished a brake job, "Would I feel safe letting my kids play in the street if you drove by my house?" Thanks again for all that you do to pass along the Craft and passion for things that turn fuel into movement.
OH YEAH, Part 3 on a Friday makes an ol fella happy!
Yep, was just gonna say that feller.
No joke. 62 and out of the car game and I miss it. Our last project was a 1960 Willys wagon. Now double walled, insulated and sitting on a custom framed 1979 full size Bronco. 351c , 5 speed manual and Borg Warner transfer. I hated to see that one go.
Three hours!!!
best part after a long Friday at work is watching this other feller work. love watching engine builds, would enjoy seeing more!!🏁🤘
Ditto
This will get lost in thousands of comments. I wanted to say thank you for the deep dive into so many things. I've got several home projects going on now, so it took me 3 days to get through this, worth every second. Thank you sir, have a great week ~ Chuck
#2 from the top, so not too lost.
Very solid info.
1:08:57 😅 1:11:00
I've been posting in the official FB group about struggling with setting zero lash on my valves, and here Derek comes in clutch with EXACTLY the demonstration I needed. I don't know if you saw my posts (or if you'll even see this comment), but thanks a ton for all the details you went into here! You're absolutely the best.
Just now seeing this video so I’m not part of the giveaway but man is it nice to see Derek care more about his giveaway being fair rather than trying to convince people to buy as much as possible to boost his income. Good on you Derek!
I rebuilt my first engine because VGG gave me the confidence. Dingleberry honed it and polished the crank myself with a shoestring. Year and a half later it's running just fine!
Awesome
No matter how you hamfist it, you can just call it a new KIA engine if all else fails.
Hello! One of your "fellette" regular viewers here! I love this video. My step dad helped guide me through a complete engine rebuild of my 1955 Ford Ranch Wagon, and what you're laying down is really helping cement what he taught me and more! Thank you for what you do, Derek. I love it.
Derik, I am 76 yrs old and have a 1993 Caprice I bought from my Daughter 12 years ago. It has been schlepted around for 12 years. Did some things like new tubular suspension, paint job and a few other things. The last 6 years it has sat neglected in my driveway with various broken windows and an engine I helped rebuild with a friend but that has never run. Over the last 6 months I along with my grandson (that daughter's son) have been finally working on getting it running. I especially found this episode on rebuilding this 6 cylinder useful as I wanted to adjust lash and preload on the lifters before bolting on. the valve covers. The detail of this episode was really valuable and entertaining for me and my grandson. I would like to see more of these types of detailed rebuilds. It also helped motivate me to complete this car so I can leave it to my daughter and grandson. Thanks so much.
This was the most educating and entertaining videos that i've seen in several years. A 3 hour video that entertained me (and educated) more than most blockbusters coming out at the flick failure houses...
I just saw Sasquatch pick up a 300 short block like a gallon of milk, and I ain't kiddin'. Keep up the great work Derek!
And have enough control to mate it to the other half of the engine stand. I'm 64 and remember doing stuff like that. Probably why my back hurts so much now. 🙃
@@ChessIsJustAGameOh I believe it, I'm in my early 30's and doing an engine swap in my driveway last year on my '83 Dodge D150 about killed me. I mean I know I'm out of shape, but damn! I'm REALLY out of shape I found out. Also my driveway was built in 1977 and hasn't seen a lick of service since, sooo... That's fun!
My first engine overhaul was a big Ford 6, I removed and re-installed by hand (no picker). Of course it was 50 years ago and things were much lighter then!
Woohoo! VGG Friday! Can't beat that, three hours of fun!
I went out and got extra cold snacks in preparation.
Will probably have break this up into three or more episodes. 2 he's is pretty much my limit.
Hey big fella, a little hint I picked up from the engine builder, the first thing to install is the cam, put the block on the ground on the bellhousing mounting flange, and drop it in from the top, let gravity be your friend, less chance of hurting the cam bearings.
It is so relaxing to listen to this Guy, Derek is so nice He could be even an Teacher !
A 3 hour Masterclass on how to rebuild a Ford 300.
Amazing! 👍👍
Thank you Derek!
I drove an 86 f150 with a 300 and a 4 speed from NJ to Kansas to go learn about restoring cars. I didn't know it at the time, but the head was cracked, and it still made it the entire way, and I abused it for another year before she finally let loose. What an engine!
Did you attend the McPherson Auto restoration program?
@@hawk1108 sure did. Got my degree in 2009
@17:00 Welcome to Derek’s, I have no idea what I’m doing engine class. 😂😂😂😂 love this channel!
I like that you are taking the time to explain and teaching your kids... I think Bradley really wants to learn and spend time with his Father and as a Dad I think that is Awesome!!
Top tip for fitting a head. Cut the heads off of a couple of bolts, cut a slot in the top for a screwdriver to fit, and fit the to the block. Simply slide the new gasket and head onto them. Perfect alignment every time.
100% this is correct. I also have a bunch of sh*tty suggestions that don’t work at all that I tried as well in case you want to destroy a couple sets of gaskets
Derek: I've built a few engines back in the day and I have to say that you have just provided a MASTER CLASS in how to go about engine rebuilding and assembly. All for free. Thank you.
Man Ive watched the majority of your field revives and restorations and I just want to say your videos have given me the courage to start my own project a 5.3 lm7 and this video just saved my ass on that pushrod length you went into detail about, I just wanted to stop and say thanks brotha!
I actually looked up the Geneva Convention and I’ll be dipped, the ring clocking guidelines are in there!
Derek, I love that you took time away from the build to talk about your Indian Motorcycle. It’s great to hear that you’re a fellow rider as well as a gear head. I started out on a Honda XR75 and actually had a Bultaco Pursang 250, it was my favorite….flipped it more than once. I slowly drifted to HD Softtail, and then a bagger. I love the Indian you have, has all the comforts a guy my age would want. You definitely need to take an afternoon with Jessica and get out of the open highway and drive that things wheels off. All work and no play….
Great content as usual. Keep up the great work. Love your content!
Agree, as I've gone through a lot of motorcycles and ATV's in my time as well. Love the Indian Derek, you'll have to show it to us when washed and polished up!
Anyone who wanted the V8 just doesn't understand how good the I6 was. Its the perfect engine for a truck destined for light duty work. I don't know why the inline is superior be it gas or diesel, but it just is.
And a six still sounds good with a nice exhaust, not a v8 but still a god sound.
Love how you explained and showed valve lash simply. Alot of places make it so hard,great to see a quick simple old school way. Thanks bud love your videos.
My grandfather has an old blue ford f100 custom, it's been sat by the treeline for awhile and I love watching you videos especially this one because it gives me inspiration to try and get the ol' rig going
This 300 I6 build is the most interesting build I've seen you do in quite some time, it's REALLY nice to see something a little different getting the love it deserves. Great video!!
Congrats, Derek - you have really hit your stride! Perfect mix of instruction and humor in a constantly changing blend of projects - some basic, some expert. Do what makes YOU happy and we'll gladly watch whatever you put out.
I've got to re-watch the un-bolting of the engine stand mounting plate. Derrick's reaction to fighting the bolt is gold. I think we've all been there in too many situations to do anything but laugh at how we all can relate.
WOW!! Your best videos are the instructional ones IMO. I learned how to set my valves from an old video when you were new to You-Tubing and it worked perfect! I'm about to do a rebuild with my 17 year old daughter and I will definitely reference this video!! Thank you so much for what you are doing!!
FIxed income retiree here. Got my purchase in hoping for a chance at that cool truck!
Derek, thank you for rebuilding a ford 300. I have always been a ford guy, the main reason being im always surrounded by chevy guys. Got to have something to argue about right. I have always worked on old fords and am confident with every part of the truck. However i have never built an engine or transmission. Watching your videos gives me the confidence to do just that. I have a couple old truck one with a 300. Im still not 100% sure where to start but im gonna tear it apart. Thank you again.
I received my order today and my 8 year old daughter said “ dad Derek is really famous and he might have touched your t shirt” lol she has watched VGG with me most of her life with me. Next order she definitely gets a shirt
Listening to you "seriously"explain what you're working on is like listening to a good old song . I've heard it before but I have to stop and hear it again . Good job.
3 hours of VGG. I love it!!!!
Need a multiple thumbs up option 3 hrs of ford 300 goodness yasssssssssss
Croissant wrench
Now I know how to rebuild the 300 Ford engine. Thanks for sharing this information
a piston ring sleeve is the only way to go. ive installed hundreds of pistons. never once had an issue with a sleeve. have had issues with universal ring compressors.
Three Hours!!!! I'm ready for it.
Did Kevin Costner produce it? Wow!
@@ewastereduxI wonder what Kevin Costner is doing today.
Production quality has seriously dropped. There’s no reason this needed to be 3 hours. So much fluff could be cut out. He’d be better off with several shorter videos. He needs to hire a proper editing team.
I got extra cold snacks not even knowing it was 3 hours. I have enough for 2. A feller is learning.
You got yo 🍿 and cold snack.
So I'm 68 years old and you have taken me right back to highschool auto shop. We had 3 Chevrolet V8's (can't.rrmember the flavor) in various stages of assembly.. each class did a tear down and reassembly until run. Also did all basic auto maintenance and stuff like shocks and brakes we did on our own cars in the class. Occasionally the teacher let us go rogue and we got to put headers and exhaust mods. He was a true wrench and a go straight 1/4 mile guy. These days I don't think they have any shop classes.. I think they paint rainbows and weave baskets now.. who knows. Anywho... Thanks for the trip in the way back machine
In the future kids won’t know how to do anything, except, Google it, and the kids will think that is all the truth, nothing else to know.
Right and wrong? They will say, just Google right and wrong.
WRONG! Future KIDS!
The top shelf of my toolbox has an entire 1/2 bottle of ultra slick spilled into her !! A little safe keeping that will last a lifetime !!
Thanks for the masterclass, always great to see you building engines!
Hey Derick, Just wanted to say I tuned into Little Grip Garage and watched the boys work on that 4 wheeler. I am impressed at how the boys have learned so much from you. I know you have your reasons for having the comments off but maybe just let them know that you aren't the only interesting feller in the family :)
Agreed, as I watch his video's as well. Great kid thatBentley is at giving his explanations, I was impressed!
Question is Derek, would you still be talking to yourself without the camera on? Kinda like if a tree falls in the woods and no one is there kind of thing.
Derek, As a viewer of your wonderful videos , I'm so pleased to see you rebuilding the 300 straight six engine . The workhorse engine in the Ford Motor Company. Years ago I owned and drove a 1978 and 1979 Ford F250 Camper Specials. One had 351 Windsor and the other had a 400 V8. Both were great horse trailer haulers.I really enjoy your tutorials on rebuilding the 305 Six back to a great reliable F100 pick up for one lucky viewer.
Another Fun Adventure ! Hope ! to get in on a Give-A-Way sometime.
See YOU ! At Iola, WI 2024 !
Best part about VGG is that it has the most relatable engine wrenching moments.
From looking at the sunset and trying to grasp at the only positive part of the moment before loosing enough light for working on the side of the road. To spewing words out in frustration that make no sense because any other sensible word just doesn't do the moment justice....
"Spend more time looking for tools than using them." Thanks for that; I thought I was the only one! 😄
You made me think of Ricky Bobby when you say you don't know what too do with your hands.👐 🙌 😂😂
A couple of my older cousins had fords with the 300 six and bone stock they were stump pullers. Can't wait to see the finished product on Derek's build!
Great videos. Bought a shirt. Want this truck. 64 yrs old. 16 in 1976. 1st co truck 76 f250 4x4 300 6. 2nd co truck 77 f150 4x4 300 6. Owned 79 351. 86 and 89 4x4s with 300 6s. Can't wait to see your tire/wheel choice.
It's nice to finally hear someone else finally speak the unspoken truth, ring gap orientation does not matter! When I went through college years ago we had a cutaway engine that would run under its own power minus the cut open cylinder. Using a strobe light you could "stop" the piston mid travel and watch the rings spin around all day long.
Hey Derek, love these lengthy videos that you share as it gives us fellers & fellettes a chance to live vicariously through you when we are unable to work on our own projects or in our garages. So, yeah even the clean up process would be appreciated. Gives us all the aspects of such a fancy garage such as yours. Keep up the great work.
I have an 87 F150 with a 300 i6 and ive been waiting for you to do a build on this one. Im stoked to follow this. Thank you bro!!!!!
Shaping up to be an awesome build Derek. Good luck everybody!
I think it would be awesome to do a vice grip garage motorcycle ride. Maybe even do it to raise money for charity. I bet Derek would get a huge following wanting to ride with him.
I didn't know about this channel, until I saw him fix a tractor in the snow with his kids. Then I saw the interview with Matt from off road recovery. I love how he talks to his kids and brings people along with him. My dad had a 74 ford, loved that thing. He had all the books and worked on it so much, ha.
I gotta say, I appreciate the in-depth explanations on what to pay attention to and a full speed initial installation of parts. So many tech vids just word cram what you're suppose to do and then time lapse the entire build. My auto mechanics teacher in college was one of those "rings must be clocked to x position for x engine" type of guys and I built a few engines adhering to that philosophy until I learned that as long as the gaps don't line up then you're good.
Any who what's it now, just wanted to say thank you for providing actual engine building knowledge to the world so a guy can maybe attempt this stuff on his own.
My first set of wheels was a 1976 Ford F100. Straight 6 and 3 on the tree. That was 1997. Dad taught me to drive a stick in it. It was 3 shades of yellow and 2 shades of rust. I loved that truck. So many memories.I plan on picking one from that era and restoring it with my 11 year old son. Been out of work since December, so it'll have to wait a bit.
I simply love these long episodes. It's like MotorTrend, but way better. More detailed, more personal, more real, more realistic, and way more funny and entertaining. None of that, "We want this build to be relatable to you, so we built this engine for $50. Our friends over at Dart gave us this $4000 block to start with, and Holley gave us this $1500 Sniper kit..." You guys know how the story goes. Once again, thank you Derek for your entertainment and knowledge. 👍
Thank you for giving the straight 6 a new and happy life! You're giving it the opportunity it deserves 👏🏽
Only VGG can pull off a 3hr video.
I bought a 1982 F100 with the 300 I6 last summer, 2WD and 3 on the tree. Daily driver except in the winter here in Alaska. You inspire me to crack the old engine open next winter, Derek. I'll drive it again this summer, but the old truck needs some lovin...
Where do I send the bill for my computer screen? The paint in the face caused a fella to spew his coffee all over a fellas computer! 😂😂😂
Derek, I was a Body Shop owner for 30 years and not really as knowledgeable about engines as far as being able to build one. I have to commend you and tell you how well you do create intuitive super educational videos. The details you go into is 2nd to none. I watched the entire video tonight and even though I’ll probably never build an engine between your captivating personality and humor kept me hooked. Keep up the great work and congratulations on the growth of your channel. 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I gotta say that if there had been someone like you teaching auto shop in my high school, I think nearly all of the guys and some of the girls would have signed up for it. You are a terrific teacher! Don't know that it would have changed my life but it sure would have saved me a good deal of money in the long run. Thank goodness you've discovered UA-cam!
2 thumbs way up! Classic engine loved by many and step by step process of a proper install. Best video I've seen from this channel in awhile
I grandpa worked in the auto industry and he helped develop piston rings. His nickname was the lord of the rings
Derek is a great teacher. He’s explained some of this stuff a lot before but it doesn’t get stale.
Another awesome informative video. I tip for everyone here. When we tore down an engine at my Automotive Engineering course we were taught to dip the collet in Vaseline. It helps them to stay while you put the next one on. From memory we used a screw driver to dip in the Vaseline then stick collet to it then put it in its home. We also packed the waterpump too with Vaseline kinda like a primer. It's dissolves in the oil and won't hurt anything. Just passing it on. Maybe it maybe of help to someone. Also we used a hand pump of oil with an adapter into the oil pressure sensor port until it bled through the rockers. That was on a Mazda b3 & b5 4 banger though. I guess it applies to all engines
It’s like we are there on a Saturday morning just shooting the breeze !! Good times
Gotta love the 300 Ford 6! Tough engine with 7 main bearings, gear driven cam!
Drink every time Caprice runs by Derek 😂😂
Love this build!!! I would love to see you and family do a Cushman Trackster rebuild just don't see them much anymore.🇺🇸
Rarely heard truth on rotating rings. Chrysler proved it in the 1940's. Thanks for another great video!
Man I wish I had an auto shop teacher like you. You explain things so clearly and concisely and understandable to the pint it sounds easy. thanks
my ears are hot.... oh my the fight with the croisant wrench had me dying. we have all been there. i love this stuff.
Ok so glad to see a Ford 300-6 rebuild 🎉 i have a 1968 Ford ranger 😊 but I don't know .if you want to go to the Ford top with it ditch the header go with a split manifold and duell exhaust.for sound like no other . But great great great great!
We do love "wee bits"... the bits we toss over our shoulder and say "wee!"
I enjoy watching the channel show when Dr. Derek is having a Ford 300 rebuild school. Well it win session and I will be paying attention to the class. 😊
You are a gift to us "do it yourselfers" all across America. This reminds me of my first engine build in my 1977 F150 Explorer package pickup many years ago, Thank you for all you do Derek!
Derek, you are the Bob Ross of Engine building! I thought you were going to say, "and we take our happy little ring and gently place it around the piston." Awesome video!
Takes me back a few decades, when I (and friends) rebuilt the 283 V8 in my '57 Chev! Much of what I heard tonight, would have helped, as I left getting the lash set from an old friend, but I wish I knew what you taught us tonight Derek! It's truly inspiring, after all the work it takes to get an engine rebuilt, to turn the key and hear it come to life! There was a few times when you needed a 'gopher' (go for tools) where Bentley could have helped, but by what you where telling us, he had other things (fun things) happening! Look forward to hearing this 6 fire up Derek, and thanks for the instruction!!
My first pickup was a 72 Ford step sided was just a kid and wrecked it doing stupid stuff. Second was a 78 f150 just like the one you're working on. I absolutely loved that pickup. Fell on hard times and had to sell to keep a roof over our heads. Finally was fortunate enough to walk into a deal on a 73 with a 302 boss in it. Haha! As fate would have it, my wife sold it while I was stationed in Korea. I've always appreciated the big 6. I've seen most of your videos. Just makes my day when it's been rough. Thanks Derek!
Glad everyone suggested beefing up the motor. Very nice 👍🏼👍🏼
I have a 1976 F100 with a 302 that I think needs most of this done to. Not sure I'll do everything from this video but most likely break it down and redo all the bearings and hone the cylinders. Check everything for wear and such too. Watching Derek over the past 4 years has made me realize what I am truly capable of. As always, thank you Derek for all you do for us out here. Gotta get Blue out from under the tree I parked her under 5 months ago. I want to run power tour this year!
Derek,
Coincidentally as I’m watching this vid, I’m rebuilding an ole Perkins 4-108 these engine videos are essential for the DIY’er.. I am building a 22 foot Chesapeake Bay dead rise, Thanks for all your help, 💪🏽
I love how much effort you made to clean every component that went in the crank case Derek and then right at the end just used the cheek poker and flung a load of dust and dirt EVERYWHERE.....I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see that!!!
Absolutely love everything you do, gives a fella inspiration to get his own projects fixed up!!!
That ole 300 six banger is one of the best engines ever made.
Finally figured out my 1988 Cougar XR 7 with the 5.0L H.O. and it's running great now and I now have a great rust free 50,000 mile car.
So glad you did this. Got one in my truck. I love these motors. Don’t do anything special but they don’t break.
Great and informative video as usual Derek! Regarding installing those valve retainers, my dad used to use a dab of axle grease to keep those little devils in place before the spring compressor was released. Worked everytime and no unnecessary cursing!!!
38:59 we filmed this scene at Niagara Falls, good times. This guy Derek is a teacher, spreading the good motorsports word.
Hey Derek. From Australia. There is a washer that goes behind the cam gear key to set the end float . That's why the old cam had the gear on it still.
Lifter lobe contact is the best! Enjoy and thank you! Slick
I really liked your blurb about motorcycles, I think I speak for everyone when I say if you wanted to take a day to ride your motorcycle we will understand. Also, if you feel inclined to take us with you that would be pretty cool too.
"stickier than a second felony!" -- man you crack me up!
Derek, sounds like you got shop maintenance down to a science 👍👍
