Thanks for sharing. Almost everything I know is from making a mistake so perhaps watching your video describing yours will save me the same mistakes of my own.
I know the feeling,way back in my hot rod days after doing everything right I so I thought ) I had a major problem.Needless to say I know how you feel. Keep going things happen stay safe.
man that sucks at least every thing was easier to get apart being all fresh i have a 216 with a hair line crack in the external water jacket just above pan rail on driver side barely drips when the engine is hot im still not sure how i want to fix it other then that the car was well maintained and untouched runs and drives great 48 fleet master 2dr town sedan i got from Alabama 5 or so y/o.
I have a good older friend who has been restoring turn of the century steam engines and fuel burning tractors for years. One fuel burner and a huge hole in the block, he contacted JB weld and received a large amount of their product and used that to plug the hole. That was a good 20 years ago and as far as I know he still runs it. Just a thought, I'm not necessarily suggesting it but it would be something to try, that you wouldn't have to tear the engine down for.

Thanks your videos have helped me immensely. I have what I believe are two 1948 Chev Thirftmaster pickups. My son and I are trying to get one running. The engine number on the won we are working on is#GAAbI0798.
I thought it had the 216 engine but the carburetor is round not like yours. How do you tell the difference between the 216 and 235 engine. The engine number doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe the engine was replaced. How do you tell the difference between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton pickup?
Amen Ps 94 8-11 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
We are all imperfect humans, we make mistakes, but as you did, look at the positive and focus on that. A simple mistake that I'm sure everyone has made and you made a video to show you are not perfect. Another positive is, all the grunge and grime was gone and no rusty bolts to deal with, easy peasy.
Let me tell you a little bedtime story. A guy grew up spending as much time as he could in the family service shop helping his dad and grandpa work on cars just as they had done. He is the fourth generation to do this. In high school he spent as much time in the shop as he could and the superintendent saw at least enough smarts in him to place his Tiger Sunbeam in his care in order to get it running and replace floor panels. Then he went to a 2 year tech school for auto technology and after class apprenticed at two service shops until closing time. His first task at the age of 18 and away from the watchful eye of dad and gramps was to replace the heater core in a '90s firebird which meant removing the entire dash, yikes! After graduating with straight A's, he took a job at a small town GM dealership as a tech. (there wasn't much to do) then moved over to a Ford dealership (they needed more help) and became ASE Certified. Not liking the dealership environment he enrolled in McPherson College's automotive restoration program ( McPherson Kansas). He graduated there Magna Cum Laude and was the recipient of 2 awards. As a result he was given a job opportunity to work at a high end restoration shop in Modesto, CA. At this point he was engaged to be married, set to take over the family shop and completely set against living in SoCal. He ran the shop for a couple of years still doing repair and service work, but also full restorations. His wife is an RN so financially things went ok until they started to have a family, they wanted to be the one's to raise their children not a day care. So that meant the cost of paying off a shop and the high overhead wasn't going to work after his wife quit her job. So in '06 he took a job for his father-in-law as a service truck driver doing liquid fertilizer installs on farm machinery as well as anhydrous ammonia system installs, GPS guidance systems, and rebuilding piston pumps and 3 phase electrical pumps. Still loving old cars he continued to work on them in his spare time which was precious little, what with a family and acreage to take care of as well. He is often gone on trips overnight and it is sometimes weeks between getting to work on the old car projects. In recent years he was being challenged by God to start a UA-cam channel which he absolutely did NOT want to do because he knew he would become a target for a whole lot of crap. So yes, he does sometimes overlook things, he isn't perfect but he does the best he can and he freely shows to the world when he makes a mistake. You may have zero respect for the work he does, and that's fine. He doesn't really care that much. Because he knows who he is, where he's from and where he's going. He has enough self-respect for himself and for you. Thanks for watching even though it's worthless to you, God Bless.
I bet you never forget again, nor will anyone who watched this video. These are all teachable moments. I am a next gen inline six guy and did not watch these videos yet. My question is did you thread these or is it just a tap in plug. If it is a plug vs threaded, why did you not use a threaded solution?
Had to go back and look at part 3 and there it was as you were installing pilot bearing I seen it. The plug less hole. I hate this. My Dad said it best as I to have made a mistake. He said you did it to your self.

I make 'em all the time as well. The trick is to learn from them. Thanks for watching!
Showing your mistakes and lessons learned publicly, speaks volumes about your character.
Still a 👍👍👍👍👍💯 job
This was a valuable teaching video! 😂Your wife may consider NFL!
I feel your pain, stay healthy and safe!!
That is where the external oil filter line would have connected? Did it not have one? If so someone forgot to put a plug in.

Dang, I’m sorry to here that bad news. You’ve worked so hard to get it right.
great to see more vids

Do yours have an oil filter? If so it will be de external using flexible lines and a canister filter.

Would probably be a good idea to know what you are doing before you take a car in to restore!
