- Half the cylinders, half the work? If only! The flathead four-cylinder engine in our “Swap to Street” 1930 Ford Model A was leaking oil like crazy and wasn’t running particularly well, either. That made it a perfect subject for our popular Redline Rebuild time-lapse video series. What took us months of long days in the shop is distilled down to a high-paced video that captures EVERY part of the rebuild process.

Whoever's doing your videos should be given a raise.....
Ben for president!
Outstanding aren’t they ?,
I want a BTS about those time lapse motorized camera sliders
Dude I was just thinking that, the editing in this video is probably the best I’ve ever seen.
Very seldom do we see anything that is totally original. The work was (is) enjoyable and entertaining simply put it was a great job. I liked it.
According to the owners manual these engines need to be rebuilt every 100 years
Lol
1949 8n with an atomic 4. 77 years old and has had nothing done to it. Runs like a top
@@fordrestored4646 I have a 48 8N that sat in a field for 15 years. Only major thing I've done to it is upgrade electrical from 6V to 12V, and rebuilt the carb and distributor. Runs like a champ even on the coldest of Montana winter days.
That's Funny😂!
That was a great missed opportunity to put insert bearings in it...
My Grandpa allways said "there is nothing more beautiful than to watch an expert at work doing what he does".....truer statememts never uttered...thank you
Pouring the babbit bearings was a complete surprise to me. Were all bearings made in that way back then? Incredible.
More amazing is the fact that the knowledge and equipment still exists to do that kind of work. Incredible.
someone knows how to do an engine rebuild
someone knows how to do an UA-cam video
someone is a awesome professional
totally entertaining and enjoyable
Ciiiiiihhjj
traktor works completely agree
Dont think I've ever seen a better set up machine shop.
@@mvdeanoThe shop was so well laid out and the job so professional, I think I was weeping a bit tward the end.
Almost 100 years old and it still does mad doughnuts
We Americand know what we're about. We just wanna go fast.
James Davis thats a german
dnh300 Its a Ford...
@@davisjames8484 FORD - fast only rolling downhill
Amazing how many originals will still run and go considering they didn’t even have a oil filter on them originally. A tuff little engine !!
It's because in vintage engines like this the tolerances are not very tight
Alex Nather also they were built to last a long time
Well it’s a lawn mower engine times 4
@@alexnather7614 that is true. Old tractors engines are the same. Low HP low compression loose tolerance. I got a 1953 Farmall that will fire on the first hit every time after all these decades. They was made by Continental Engine. Pretty similar to the Ford engines .
Drove one in high school..
It was a pickup!
The filming and editing that went into this video are impeccable. Great job.
Dont forget that annoying tune!
I realize it would add a little time to the rebuild, but was sorely missing the narrator describing what was happening in the video. A couple places I had no clue what they were doing.
🐖
@@trexmidnite in terms of car/truck repair videos, ive heard much worse lol.
@@danielharper635 Im glad they didnt narrate it, cause it wasnt the point of the vid. 99.99999% of people watching aren't going to be rebuilding a Model A anytime soon
always respected people who value retro cars and know how to carefully restore them.
Henry Ford would cry tears of joy.
@David Priscak a great man indeed.
@David Priscak and?
Knowing Henry Ford... he might not appreciate this one well given how he hated the Model A and its engine for all its worth...
Those engines were built heavy duty, and many still survive. Thank you for preserving history
As an engineer I'm always fascinated by the design of old early engines, Cool vid.
That things gonna sound like a Sewing Machine! *AWESOME*
Pouring those Babbitt main bearings are a lost art now days.
I just posted a question what was going on with the bearings, and I thought it was lead?
Looked like aluminum?
It is and it isn’t, heavy industry/oilfield Babbitt bearings are still made daily. Most modern pumpjacks still utilize hand poured bearings
I was wondering what that was. I have a lot to learn still.
My Chevy 216 from 1947 spun a bearing. I could have had it fixed but opted to go for a 235ci engine better. More power, 40 lbs oil pressure apposed to 13 lbs, and about 30 more hp quite a bit more torque. Like you said, lost art for the everyday man.
Videos involving engines like this only makes me wonder why we ever thought "more complicated is better." At times we all enjoy the related benefits of todays technology, but videos like this also make it clear that ignoring the "simple tech" of the past and relegating it to the shelf in favor of "advancement" isn't always wise.
I love old motors like that they always fun to work on. And to last this long is amazing. 😊
Here we go!! Henry would be proud! He’d even love the time lapse. Ha!! 😁
Yes where ever Henry is, he is PROUD! If for nothing else: the Creation of the Model A! His Swan Song!!! ...Newk from Kentucky
5:42 With a oem style front crank seal like that Its amazing its even possible to seal it up. Well done. Love the bearing casting work also!
That's probably where it was leaking out of originally
First time I’ve seen these bearings done. My dad used to talk about doing it, but my cars have all had shell bearings!
im 27 and i found a 1930 ford model a for 6k a few miles from me. iv rebuild motorcycles for a few years and since iv became a engineer. i dont know why but i keep getting pulled towards old cars simple motors and just the calm road. something about being able to complete rebuild a motor with a garage shop set up is just nice. such a simple car and treat it right it will last forever. no complex electronics nothing crazy. best part keep it basic and u can have your kids working on it learning the confidence to tackle much greater mechanical feats.
I've helped rebuild several of Model A engines with my 84 year old father-in-law. Each time I learn a bit more of the "tricks of the trade" he knows. He pours his own blend of babbitt bearings. He's a genius when it comes to these engines.
Wow!! The amazing stop motion photography, the amazing mechanical knowledge makes for an amazing video. It’s no wonder that your subscriber numbers are growing so quickly. Thank you very much!
They do not. They have literally painted internal parts. That is the most idiotic thing I have seen done in a long time. The rest of you mouth breathers on here, that missed that should stop ever commenting on videos!!!
@@Stowell1984 Pretty sure that's an oil shedding coating to help with oil return among other things- not regular ole paint. Their work looks top notch.
@@briank2319 I had considered that, how ever, why would that be necessary on an engine that's not turning high rpm? It doesn't look the normal black color either. Glad you have faith in them though.
@@Stowell1984 that motor will be fine a few oil filter changes and what ever paint comes off will be gone
@@Stowell1984 I caught it right off and wondered if it was Rust-Oleum which was used in nitro dragsters in the '70s to seal the inside of the blocks. You're the insecure, know - it - all, low grade moron, mouth breathing idiot!
Forget the video and the editing...... The amount of skill that man possesses is priceless.
He builds 11000 hp top fuel motors. That only live 30 seconds and get rebuilt again then run another pass rebuilt again every rod and piston come out of top fuel motors every pass
So satisfying, what's even more satisfying is the model a drifting
Properly restored without the need for tons of unnecessary chrome.
Двигатель - легенда! Именно на них ездили советские полуторки до войны и после. Спасибо тебе Генри!
Так ведь на ГАЗе было лицензионное производство Ford-А и Ford-АА, только под маркой ГАЗ
Yes, comrade
Газ 51 очень похож.
Glad to learn something new!
Awesome video, guys! I wish I had the knowledge and resources to do this kind of overhaul to my Model A engine. Must be an awesome feeling to fire it up for the first time and hear it purr after all that work!

Finally! Another masterpiece! Great job Hagerty 🙏🏼
I love seeing how much care is put into preserving these pieces of history. Thanks for sharing the process with us!
I am 70 years old I live jax fla 32205 I in joy watching it rebuild
I’m lucky to have Ron’s shop just a short drive from my house. Will take my 1930 Model A engine there when it needs a rebuild job.
Seeing this made me feel nostalgic my dad used to have a '31 ford AA flatbed. Its super cool to see the inner workings of one now
Seeing an engine get the full rebuild treatment is a wonderful thing. Beautiful!
USA is a incredible place, every thinks is possible. Congratulations!!!
A very well spent 8 minutes of my life, amazing video👌
Probably some of the best videos on UA-cam! This is pure therapy. I think I could watch this all day and wouldn't have any problem with it.
It's really nice to see a Model A with a stock appearance that isn't chopped and channeled!
Mechanics as another of the fine arts.
The engine must feel nice for getting a fresh rebuild
And this awrsome old roar.
... same here... I almost hope to see it wagging it's tail pipe 🤣🤣🤣
That engine was not originally built to these tolerances. The tooling didn't exist yet. It's literally better than new.
@@BlackBladeGroM all that tooling may not of been around yet but they could keep the tolerances very well they were making precision items back then that were hand fitted look at the 1911 pistol many modern companies make them and have excellent tooling but if you don't know how to fit the parts to the right tolerance they don't work well it was ford who used guage blocks from Carl Edvard Johansson for his assembly lines and bought the company from him guage blocks are used for the calibration of measuring equipment used in machine shops, such as micrometers, sine bars, calipers, and dial indicators
@@samellowery yeah, but not like today, that engine runs better then it ever did
Seriously how can you not like these videos for real
Excellent, my mate had an A model in the mid 50s
Such a good car for its time.
Always started by the 4th compression.
Ребята, вашими видео и их музыкальным сопровождением можно наслаждаться вместо кофе утром. И думаю старик Форд гордился бы своими потомками увидев вас.
Have to say, you are A+ at your craft.
Really, really impressive work.
So satisfying to see those old snarling beasts breathe new life!
Excellent.
Wow this is the most amazing engine rebuild video I've ever seen. I dont know how much real time went into this project but I can imagine it was a lot and I truly appreciate your effort, keep up the great work!
Depends on how long it takes for parts to show up. The straight 8 took almost a year meanwhile the mini engine wasn't very long at all.
That's actually like watching a great painting.... Only more fascinating.... Extremely satisfying to watch skilled hands at work, especially when it's restoring something to give pleasure to future generations.
I was hooked. The perfect way to re-motorise a Model A. I've watched this build from start to finish and admire the professional attitude that existed throughout.
I love Ford Model A's - one of my all time favorite cars
Вы парни просто афигенные! Была бы честь работать с вами:)
The crankshaft bearings. Amazing.
I'm most impressed by how fast they work.
It's amazing to see the bearings get leaded in-place like that! Wow! Old tech.
Yeah. I'm glad that technology got obsolete.
You brought a tear to me eye
Wonderful to watch . You are also the one who knows what he is talking about , that makes you stand out above the other channels .
You guys are brilliant!
6:29 If only I could drink beer and watch myself working on my motorcycle..
Just record it wtf
@@dylanvance96 о, ты тоже смотришь WTFакт? Мне тоже нравиттся етот канал.
I just love this duo, one is an expert mechanic & the other is a master in film making. Absolutely amazing work guys!
Great video. Neat touch having the nuts and spark plugs March down the block and install themselves.
100% professional job from start to finish, no expense spared. 60 years ago I was in the middle of a 5-year motor mechanics apprenticeship here in the UK, so I recognise all the parts of that engine. In the 1960s we were repairing pre-war cars as well as more modern ones. Great stuff.
I think there is no engine you wouldn't rebuild to factory condition, you are amazing. It would be awesome to see you guys do a wankel or a Ford 429 shotgun :D
Wankel motorcycle engine for sure
its actually better then factory used modern tools
@@cc9z I'm sure you're right, it's probably been rebuilt to closer tolerances, and maybe even in a cleaner shop.
A lot of older engines benefit greatly from more modern machining and precision. Usually better than what the original factory could even imagine.
@@masterspacetime2826 you can kiss him and figure it out
Great vid, so rewarding, great to see no air tools being used for disassembly and reassembly, old school respect , subscribed
That is one heck of a video! Thanks!
REAL MECHANICS , REAL MECHANIC SHOP , REAL TECH , not your ordinary “part changer” 👍
Each one of these videos always leave me with a big smile, they're always amazing!!!
The way the video is done is amazing. I love the stop motion intertwined with time lapse! Very enjoyable to watch! Thx
Cool old stuff. Not all as us old people know of those Engine's and Transmission's gear boxes are in Complete cars. Some ate in old Barns. I had a neighbor named Shelby Cook. Long passed away. He took a old A motor and drive and used it to power a chopper mixer to make Hog feed. It still worked in the 1990s. I miss him.
my neighbor just asked if I wanted to work on a 1930 Model A 5-window coupe. I told him I know nothing about the engine, etc. I may have to take a look at it. Engine seems easy to work on, (plenty of room). I work on motorcycles so it is a stretch for me. I think this is right up your alley! Dale Swineheart, DeKalb, IL
Seriously badass remanufacture!👍🇺🇲💘🇺🇲👍
Amazing! Love the love that goes into your projects! ❤️
The best production quality I’ve seen👌
Amazing restore,jeneponto indonesia menyimak
Man these old engines never quit even though they are way more simple than today's engines
Give the Y-block some love! Would love to see a rebuild, the videos are always so well made. Keep it up.
6:16 nice touch
These guys and girls are nuts. Ardun heads, billet cranks, and 7000 rpm or more at Bonneville or dirt tracks. What fun!! Neat video.
FORD ,,A,, автолегенда....Видео класс!!!Познавательное,показывает сколько труда,станков,инструмента требуется для ремонта и реставрации...Насколько это дорогое удовольствие!!! Надеюсь автору это приносит доход??
Love that car,
Almost 100 years .

Warrentheo im jealous i didnt come across an amazing teacher like this when i was a kid.
@@jackmehoff2363 lol, take a second look at the "student" 😆
Makes this shyt look simple af. Outstanding work
When I watched this in its entirety it reminded me of the time I had to change out the windshield washer reservoir in my Toyota Rave4. Nothing major other than completely removing the front end body panels in entirety. Thank you Toyota engineers. At current hourly cost per hour that's a 4-5 hour job. Approximately $600 in just labor alone. Parts? You're at their mercy. Lol

Now i know why hagerty is so good when it comes to rebuilding engine, there is a ghost helping them. 😁😄😆
Actually, they allow employees to help restore these vehicles. My daughter helped work on a 69 Mustang fastback. She is loving it working there!
Wow! Babbitt metal crank bearings, that really does date the engine. Great job guys.
unbelievable . I didn't even imagine recovering this Ford vehicle... here in the interior of São Paulo, when I was young, I traveled in a FORD 29 for kilometers, it was pure nostalgia for dirt roads, rain and a lot of mud.💖👏👏👏👏👏
Sometimes the bolts would just unscrew themselves and jump into his hand. That's some serious talent!
Love the Stop-Motion-Animation Very Nice That Overhaul is good for another 20 or 30 years easily Hagerty are definitely the best in the Business
That's one bad ass rebuild!!! Simple but it did the job! That engine helped build America!! Wow! Great job guys!!
Wow...hand poured bearings, babbit metal (or white metal). The last time I saw this done was in the 1960's and the poured bearings were then hand scraped. Great video
I love these videos so much!!! Art of engines. Bravo!!
I love how you used the old flathead V8 to pull-start the Model A
This shows what an awesome job you can do if you have the funds and the workshop...
The rebuild was bad-ass, especially with the attention to detail. But the stop animated motion was kick-ass, way too go guys. Hats off to y'all!
Très beau travail 👌
J'imagine même pas le temps de tournage ! Grand chapeau 😜
Man behind the camera and editing has really do amazing job, very well done.
That main bearing technique! I just learned something!
Now that's what I call a worthwhile rebuild. Absolutely outstanding!!
Fantastic video and kudos to the video editor well done!
The best time lapse of UA-cam!
Our dad had a 1926 Ford touring car he taught my brothers and I lessons about working on cars with varying results. One lesson I took away from it that I never want to lap valves by hand again. He would have loved to see your shop!
Excellent JOB! : 1930 Ford "A" with a New ENGINE !
