Another cheap Model T engine overhaul.

This is the engine for my 1913 Ford model T project car. It's had a low budget rebuild done before and, in this video, I correct a few things as I reassemble it.

DUDE! Please post more often. You're doing great.

[@onewhocollects6781]

Thank you, I'm trying to.

[@russelblackwell6041]

What a great video how the engine has evolved over the years thank God for Henry Ford

[@chuckotto7021]

Great to see you making progress with your T engine. I am about to tackle my 1931 Model A engine.

[@swhod2190]

I agree with you about the authentic color. It looks right on!

[@thesaintdiscjockeyentertai5741]

Another great video.
Thanks for posting!

[@craigroberts3982]

super good. Much appreciate the effort.

I have that same green Schwinn Sting Ray from my childhood in my garage.

I have an original copy of the book "Ford Methods and the Ford Shops", published in 1915. The steps for engine assembly are listed on pages 118 to 127. The last step, step 84, says "Paint motor - remove from line.". So in 1915 at least, workers were told to paint the motors. Of course, painting the engines may have been discontinued later in the name of efficiency.

OHSA approved flip flops. Always wanted to do up a T engine.

[@madman-pv9qd]

Looks like a fine engine to me. I like the way T people seem to be so much more relaxed with a good sense of humor compared to A people. Perhaps thats why they don't worry so much about pawning their old cars off on the youth. Just let them come naturally. Good video as always

[@lindco82]

I always enjoy your videos. I also keep learning from them!

The lack of cam gear play might be down to bad alignment upon re-boring the main bearings.
It's just plastic, it'll wear in.

[@jl991825]

Another good video. Thanks. You and I have the same idea around comfortable workshop footwear.

[@cudaman-yq7pq]

Great video! The old cam gear looked like one of the infamous fiber gears that tend to strip out. Being helical cut gears, I wonder if the crank and cam gears should be meshed, and then slipped on together, kind of like a double roller timing gear set on a more modern V8.

[@onewhocollects6781]

Yep, the old one is a fiber gear. I'm doing some research now to figure out what's going on with the new one.

[@gwstubbs7046]

Good job on the engine.

[@ModelARickLasCruces]

Always entertaining and enlightening. GOod work!

[@cudaman-yq7pq]

Check with Dan McEachern regarding the cam gear.

[@shedbythetracks]

Good video! I'm a distributor cheater... no mag I don't regret it a bit Cheers

[@onewhocollects6781]

Thank you. I don't blame anyone for not using the mag. Can be more trouble than they're worth sometimes.

[@jasonmushersee]

roll the dice

[@gregorydekeyzer703]

My 1923 had traces,of original black on it. Not much, but some.

[@onewhocollects6781]

That's interesting.

[@arisaka9963]

I prefer the brass timing gears. I wonder how long the nylon gear will last

[@onewhocollects6781]

I'm doing some research to figure out what's going on with the clearance. I may end up getting a metal gear for it anyway.

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Surprised the gear was nylon

[@jaywon555]

Did you find any other information from other owners who used Nylon gears ? That seems abit too tight, I'd be abit worried about the nylon expanding when it heats up and binding things up.

[@michaelgillespie1206]

I wouldn't use nylon gears if you gave them to me for free, I've seen how long nylon bolts last, they strip out the first time you tighten it.

[@Bbbuddy]

You seem to have the appropriate attitude for Model T work. I’m looking forward to more videos about this engine.

[@onewhocollects6781]

I'd like to do something about the clearance issue. Doing research about it now.

[@venussavage]

Yep, another cheap Model T engine overhaul. Sunday night just notched up from meh. Thank you! Hope you're doing well; keep up the "good" work (ha ha).
