I see you too are a man of high culture
THAT BLUE SEALANT IS WHAT ROLLS ROYCE USED JIM .
Hope to see it running like a clock soon! Test/first runs after overhauls would be a great and interesting addition to your JAMSI repertoire.
Yep I used it back in the early 70ss on car engine s and moter cycle engine it's great shit
I love the videos where "the cleaning guy" is the main character. No offense to the son but the dad is great to watch. I love to hear how he thinks through the process and how things used to be.
Me too. Not too many "experienced" machinists left like this man. It is actually difficult to find a good machine shop.
Many refuse to give this depth of information, because you might end up knowing as much as them.
Always pay attention when an older guy is talking . There’s so substitutes for years of experience.
@@davidelliott5843Knowing as much and being skilled enough to do the job are two different things.
Yes, how and whys are better than watch us do this.
The cleaning guy is a national treasure and must be protected at all costs! The amount of knowledge this man has retained and how he is able to explain it to us is mind blowing!
There are only a few channels on UA-cam where you get indepth knowledge from a master craftsman that makes sense. When you are done watching you're amazed at how much you just learned, that's the sign of an excellent teacher!!!! Thanks James
That's pretty much why I'm here for every new episode! 👍
Man, I never get tired of watching the cleaning guy perform miracles on engines that should be in the scrap pile. This is my favorite channel.
It’s like having one of the best shop shop teachers around! (Back in the day kids, we used to have things like “auto shop” in school..)
I was just about to write the same thing. He really is a natural Teacher.
Early 2000s middle school, we had a woodworking class. Spent most of it, causing mischief with my friend. Like hitting bang caps with a hammer on a vise.
yep..
auto shop
AG
woodshop..
those are r*crest and inequitable in todays progressive leftist society we’re currently trapped in .

out with mechanics and in with gender studies
I feel like I could put this thing back together again with how in depth this is. 😂 Long video but packed with info!
Of course you could! Every pro has done their first one sometime.
A couple of beers and a cigar and I was entertained, thank you for this final on the jeep engine “ motor “…… Keep them coming.
The long format is great. Stayed for all of it. Jim’s conversational style makes the time go by easily. 👍🏻
You are made for this video format! Your son is so lucky to have a guy with your knowledge and video presence for a mentor and a dad!
The amount of free education Dad is giving to anyone who is interested in engine building is invaluable.
Thanks for your time and effort in producing quality content.
These series of videos with the cleaning guy walking through the thought process and explanation of his decades of experience is so incredibly valuable. I really look forward to these each week. Thanks as always for sharing.
Thanks! There is nothing as satisfying as watching ‘the Guru’ at work. Great camera work, as well!
Thanks! We really appreciate you taking the time to watch and support the channel!
As weird as it sounds, I just picked up a 1952 Willys station wagon with this same engine a few weeks ago. Nice to see the inside of one!
Heres to you not needing to.
The cleaning guy is a surgeon of engines . Absolute pleasure to watch . Thx and love from Australia
Seems like he has done it a time or two... ;)
This was more entertaining and informative than any 2 hour movie spit out of Hollywood these days. The camera guy did an awesome job irregardless of a couple of boo boos. With a little practice he’ll be as good as the cleaning guy.
Can't beat this one! Nothing like seeing an old pro at work. Yes, I'm older that you so I can call you an old pro!
Anyone that has adjusted pushrods on a Harley knows exactly what you meant by needing three hands it is an art form. Great video glad we got to see more of the cleaning guy in action.
I've worked on many an engine, but not an F Head. I've been fascinated with the entire series!!!
Humble and capable. What's not to like. I do like those old engines. So many have innovations that remind us that engineers were always engineers.
I've seen alot in my time.
I'm not easily amused.
You sir are EXCELLENT at what you do.
I’m convinced when Jim goes to “work on it off camera”, he just smacks it with a bigger hammer. 😂😂
You, as always, brought back many long-ago good memories for this almost 70-year-old backyard mechanic. Life and health issues got in the way, so my backyard mechanic years have sadly passed me by. It is always a joy to watch you and your son.
I look forward to your next series of videos.
I am with you there Mr Smith. I am older than you and my mechanic days are all but simple things have passed me by . I had a excellent teacher. He worked on his cars and Truck just about to the day he passed away at 92 yrs. I so miss those days watching him. Love You Daddy !
That's why "handcrafting" has an emphasis on "crafting". Thanks for showing this nice antiquity engine !
Cleaning guy/grandpa is awesome to watch and learn from. Get more info from him than any school book. He rocks
Engine rebuilding experience and skill really show in this video. Great attention to detail and care in rebuilding. No corners cut at all. The owner of this engine is very fortunate. He's getting the best built Willys engine ever. It will last for 75 years if he takes care of it.
A master class on rebuilding vintage engines.
Over 2 hours and totally engrossed. Thanks Jim.
Absolutely love these long format videos... Please don't ever cave to the pressures to shorten these for people's attention spans... These videos are such a wealth of information and I can't stop watching a true professional like Jim do what he does. Keep the content coming!
I have had the good fortune to work with mostly overhead valve engines rather than flat or F-heads. When I was a kid and just learning, a lot of the engines I worked on were flat heads. I learned to use ratcheting forceps (straight & curved) to place the spring retainers into place. My late wife was an RN so I borrowed hers until she caught me. Wonderful woman, she bought me a full set for our next anniversary.
A wonderful way to spend a Sunday.😊
Your first class tools, extensive experience and superb attention to detail is VERY impressive. I am not surprised that this Boomer does OUTSTANDING work.
This is so fine. Even just watching you set the valve lash, I can get such a good "feel" for how everything should go together. It's just a big ol' metal birthday cake, getting ready for the oven. I do look forward to seeing it running, I bet it will be so very smooth. Thanks, Jim!
It was awesome to see the entire build on this iconic engine. The precision you put into it was exceptional. Thank you for this series.
My dad’s name was August and he always was called Augie. It’s a beautiful doggy. Got there and I really like your devotion to doing it right
I'm the same age as Jim. I have an identical hammer that belonged to my grandfather. It's a Mason's hammer, for knocking mortar off of bricks. It too is one of my favorite hammers to use. It's very comfortable to swing, gives a good solid blow and not too heavy.
Being a former machinist, tool and die maker, and then engineer, I have enjoyed watching these videos. I also was a gear head hobbyist and appreciate your attention to detail. Thanks for sharing your abilities and expertise!
Nice series on the old F head ! Will be nice to see it running ! Thanks for sharing !
I hate messing with rope seals, but beats a peace of leather.
Nothing funny about watching you do what you do, you are entertaining and you explain things so well, you are a natural born teacher. I think you're a genius, I have learned quit a bit from watching you guys.
James makes some the most informative and instructive in depth videos on UA-cam. Watching someone with so many years of old school knowledge and lost tricks of the trade. The stories of experiences of past builds. These are such great videos.
I don't know alot about machining but this channel is awesome and there is very few ppl these days that take this much pride in there work
Jim you are human and I love watching you. You remind me so much of my Dad, he was a good mechanic. People would come and bring their cars. T model s A and B and so on . Like you said lots of times with the engine in the car. He was a Shadetree Mechanic. Many a Saturday he would be up under the biggest tree in the yard. Rebuilding, brakes, starters, transmissions tune ups. As cars became more sophisticated he never stopped. He was exceptionally good with 4 barrel carbs. My older brother’s friends would bring their Hot Rods for my Dad to work on. Keep these videos coming. I hope we get to see and hear those engines run!
Machine work allways fascinated me,I have torn one F-head down in the past and quite a few L-heads,this is the best video on rebuilding the F-head out there,the thinking,double checking,precision work,taking the time to do it right the first time machine work is second to none!From one Boomer to another,Thank You for taking the time to put it on video!
Watch you channel frequently. Been following this build. Didn’t realize until almost the end that the video is over 2 hours long. Think that’s a testament to how engaging the “cleaning guy’s” personality is. Awesome to see craftsman putting in work with the level of skill and workmanship you guys exhibit on your channel!
Rope seal bleep was super funny
Starting with the 2 center stands for the intake rockers was genius! I'm absolutely stealing that for the next F head I build! This has been a fun one; you see so many F heads ripped out and replaced with something else, but they worked decently well for a long time. No reason in the world that they can't be one of the survivors. Thanks for the video!
Glad to see I'm not the only one that glues gaskets to the removable parts. Removing glued gaskets from around studs and tight spots always made me wonder why I chose mechanics as a profession. The worst gasket removal to me was the 70's vintage Oldsmobile and some later model Honda outboard engines.
Being a self taught machinist "somewhat lol" but a diesel mechanic for heavy machinery I know what he means in "not going to bore you" when he turned the camera off on that rope seal. That seal is a S.O.B to mold and get in I figured we'd had a shit ton of bleeping going on lol Love watching watching I've learned a few things from here...ty so much
You know what has worked for you and if no one comes back with failures that's what matters! Double checking things is what has impressed me about your work. Most wouldn't mess with checking those valves but for the little time it takes it can save a lot of rework!!! Great work!
For future reference, per the Jeep factory manual, top of the exhaust guide should be 1” below top of the block. The intake should be flush with guide bore on the valve side.
From one Jim to another Jim, I would like to see you do a video about the amount of tool boxes that you have placed around the shop and how you have tools placed in certain areas. I am a tool box junkie myself currently having 8 rollers and tops and 4 intermediate chests. During my automotive career I was mainly doing automatic transmissions and found that a roller and a top box dedicated to transmission work was very helpful, with the bulk of my common tools being in another set of boxes. I returned to the military after about 12 years of transmission work and finished up with being an aircraft maintenance machinist at my retirement. I do have one of the large 54 inch sets that I can’t move by myself, so I’m using the 7 26 inch sets now. I admire your shops dedication and thorough service that you provide for your customers.
It's obvious to me that you really enjoy your work. Nice job. I have a Chevy 350 that needs rebuilt. Unfortunately, I'm in Pa. and you are to far away😮💨.
One of my favorit youtube channel, love your work!
Great series, hopefully we get to see it running, have a great day!
I appreciated seeing the longer videos, especially because I have a number of early Willys Jeeps!
How genius were the engineers of the day to make a hole in the end of the cam to pressurize and push oil into the rockers....amazing talent of the old days
that cleaning guy is the real deal, kinda guy that cant be bothered with a bandaid. just shove a dirty shop rag and electrical tape on it untill it stops leaking. my fuckin spirit animal.
I really enjoyed the cleaning guy’s assembly. 3M’ing the valve cover gasket to the valve cover is something I learned from Boyd Huggins who had a shop in Sunland Ca. I worked for him about two weeks back in 1968. He called it monkey snot. To this day I always coat my tire repair plugs with it. Never leave home without a tube.
I watched........ Totally great. I'm 77 retired mechanic and I'm still learning... Thank you Jim........ Now can we see and hear this sweet little engine rum......??????
This is one of the best informative videos the cleaning guy has done. Made me feel like I was back in school shop class.
So awesome that an engine built so long ago still can maintain it's accuracy and repeatability! If taken care of, I am 100% sure that little guy will last another 73 years!
Goes to show you the quality of yesteryear...and the expertise of "the cleaner guy"
I wonder if possibly tacking up weld on that thermostat neck, then filing back into shape would help prolong it's life...NEVER run just plain water in old cast iron...
Can't wait to see it up and running!
Keep em coming!!!!
👍👍👍 too old school knowledge and the privilege to watch a perfectionist rebuild a piece of real American technology in its time.
Thank you for the peek back in time when my family tried their best to be competent shade tree mechanics. 😊
.
I love to watch new and rebuilt parts go together in nice clean conditions. That Engine should run great.
You remind me of my vocational school teacher. He taught automotive technology. His name was Mr. Heinrich. The best teacher I ever had.
I had an old 1962 Ford P/U that had a 223 6-cylinder in it. It had one of those asbestos rope seals in it. I overhauled it and put the "real" seal back in it. It ran for well over 100,000 miles without a leak. They sold a tool back then with various sized attachments for putting those in. I had one and it made dealing with them much easier.
Regarding valve cover gaskets: use chap stick on the side you don't want to stick.
1:37:14 I have seen these valve spring compressors when I worked back east. They were in antique stores and I wondered what they were for. Thank you for the great work.
I really don't see other engine shops going to the trouble of getting RIGHT as they have to be, great work and great to watch, things i never knew of the engine rebuild world.
Hey, the cleaning guy is really skilled.You should give him a raise
The rope seal description was priceless!!!😂😂 The cleaning guy is awesome to listen to working through the process. Keep up the great content
The guy that owns that engine he’s real lucky to have you rebuild his engine from what I can see you’re doing a very, very nice job six in a row Jim again
Fantastic couple of hours of knowledgable entertainment.
That little engine will run sweeter than when it left the factory, what with modern, precision ballancing on all rotating components etc.
Jim is an absolute treasure, a natural on camera and what the heck if he forgot to switch the camera on for a few ancillaries, we got the gist of the main build.
Jim, rest assured the Hylomar Blue will be absolutely fine on your build! An late engineering friend of mine who worked on the Rolls Royce Merlin V12 aircraft engine reconditioning line at Prestwick Airport in Scotland many years ago (all gone now) once gave me a tube of Hylomar Blue for a rebuild I was doing and he told me it was the ONLY gasket sealant Rolls Royce would use.
Can't wait to hear the engine running now👍🏻👍🏻
Really loved this long format with minimal editing - easy to watch 30 min at a time. I wish the final steps had been filmed, so I’m looking forward to the extra 30min next time!
Yes. Fuel for it may be an issue in another 73 years. And if the owner uses a quality antifreeze instead of just water.
Old guy here. I really enjoyed this video. Walk down memory lane on the stuff I used to work on. Great refresher. My thanks to the Cleaning Guy.
The amount of detail every engine from Jim's is over-the-top. Maybe some music in the background is in order. When the cleaning guy is working, 40's or 50's and when that other guy works some classical?? 😅
How I wish you were taking new customers, I would be happy to take my Willys F134 on a road trip to have someone as knowledgeable as you rebuild it. Thanks for the great watch.
Your expertise is very evident! One note for your evaluation, in the year long Military aviation schools we were taught to Never torque a nut twice as that could change the value you're actually imparting! The military was so strict about this you would fail a practical hands on test if you clicked the torque wrench more than once.
I’m so used to the sounds of a shop or garage, I honestly didn’t notice any background noise until he pointed it out.
You are showing why machine work is expensive. Quality is not cheap, excellent work sir 👍
You can get it done right, fast, or cheap...you only get two...but expect only one...these guys deliver!
Too bad I live in Georgia. I would love to have you guys do the machine work on my 1966 Mustang 200 six. Maybe a long road trip to the Greeley area is in order. 🤔😎
Man, I wish I had the cleaning guy as a mentor when I was learning this stuff on my own the hard way. Love all the videos you guys post! Long or short format, they are all great!
Taking notes on the head work. At some point (this winter at the soonest) I'll need /want to have a shop reseat the heads in my boat's 1976 Ford/Mercruiser 302 (has factory modded 351 heads and cam). Per the factory warning stickers it doesn't have hardened seats (Leaded fuel only) and being in a boat, it's probably not worth risking running a lot without lead substitute (which I fear will be harder to find in future years). Unless I decide to swap heads or something nutty like that.
Thanks Jim, good to see it come together in one video, i watched the whole thing. It would be great to hear it running.😊😊
1:02:06 I definitely know how much the cleaning guy hates those rope seals when you have to “Bleep” him out. I remember older guys talking about them on Pontiac’s hated them.
Agree - rope seals are generally a nuisance to install to ensure no leaks. However the original asbestos type were an easier installation than the current 'very stiff' non-asbestos version.
This was one of my very first engine rebuilds with tutelage of elders, back around 1969, at the ripe age of 9 or 10.
Was a different experience then for different tooling and equipment. More technique dependent, but, the goals were much the same.
Thanks for the flashback…
Jim, you are not just a master machinist and mechanic, but an artist!
FYI, the beloved Hylomar was invented by Rolls Royce for their aero engines to handle heat and everything else. It was called SQ32 in RR speak until commercialized and renamed Hylomar which was made under license. This stuff is good for any cork gaskets, paper gaskets, sump gaskets, even metal gaskets. Besides no leaks, it allowed the gaskets to be reused if disassembled as it did not dry out. I have used this stuff for 50 years on all my engine builds, utterly brilliant stuff on old engines when manufacturing tolerances were much less accurate. You should have used it on your rocker cover gasket too. Bit surprised you did not paint the block/head etc.
I didn't think I could watch that long, but I'm glad I did! I did nod off a couple of times, and had to "rewind". Very enjoyable, Thank you! That motor really is a simple work of art. I had an F-head CJ 3B (54), back in 1970. It was really a honey. I still have a flathead 226 in my 59 Jeep truck...it hums right along. My 84 CJ7 is about due for a re-build (285K)...I wish you could do it. I really enjoy the work on the old engines...thanks!
You are amazing.....enjoyed seeing the teardown and rebuild and I'm not even a mechanic.
Always great to watch you build a engine. That engine will serve your customer for many years
This episode was that good i actually watched it twice,,, really enjoyed the longer version,,, i hope the customer has followed your video process, thats a nice motor you have produced for them
Thank you for doing your part to keep this skill, and these great old engines, alive. There is a beauty in the simplistic design and function of these machines. You have acquired the knowledge and skill through the best means possible….time and effort. Bravo.
The whole series of videos on this engine were very impressive and informative and yes, the Cleaning guy is pretty funny!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. When you do a series on a single engine build from tear down to machining to assembly I love it all.
The experience of the cleaning guy spot on the money 💰. To the son you need to up his salary x3 and the camera salary. Jim you’re good man.
It's a great Sunday watching Jim's Automotive. Thank you many times over for capturing the way it's done. Fundamental machining and assembly methods applies to all engines big or small or complex. And thanks for taking the time to pass down the knowledge to the younger generation.
Getting to watch old iron get a new lease on life is always awesome!
I think this was awesome to have the whole build on one video. I really enjoyed it. Also it’s not the things he does but some of the things he says. I love it. Like with the noise “you’ll have to get use to it, we did” lol
A masterpiece. All your videos are good but this one was truly GREAT!
214 👍's up Jim's thank you for sharing 🤗
Thanks for watching!
Hands down my fav machining channel. I echo all the positive comments. Thank you Whippersnapper & zen guru Cleaning Guy!
