19:02 one thing about them old JD heads is, the little smiley face you have in each cylinder. It's actually a cute little face 😀 Especially after all that incredibly precise work. Good job!
On your standard steel guides ... throw them in your home freezer over night and they'll drive in easier (with lube as usual). You don't have to use liquid Nitrogen every time to use the old contraction trick. Great content ... subscribed.
As a retired Machinist it's amazing how much time you can put into a set of heads cleaning sandblasting seat and guide work re-cleaning and putting the heads together and the all-important paint job.
So I know this is an engine channel, but it seems like you folks know a ton about cast iron. It would be interesting to see you folks do a compilation video of cast iron repairs that you have done.
I love your 3 angle cutters, and the brilliant machine. When I was an apprentice in 1970s England, we used 3 sets of stones followed by lapping. It was laborious!
@@MrHuntertaylor I’m a mechanic, particularly the decking of a head/block intake/exhaust on the heads is my favourite. Love your videos, keep them coming as they are the best👍😎
I, too, love watching machine shops; I'm so glad I found your channel at the start of Covid. Firstly thanks so much for sharing. Second, you cannot believe how fortunate you are to be working in the family business and in an awesome trade. Thirdly, your shop! Spotless!!!! Perfect. I know a lot of people don't care about the mess but I can't stand it. Taking a few minutes after a project or the end of the day to put things away and clean up makes coming in the next morning that much better. It also shows customers that you care. Not that less tidy people don't care, just not as much ;)! Take care and have a great week!
I can't wait until I have all my parts ready and have enough for you guys to do the work on my engine its going to be incredible to see the work done and see it run afterward
I love watching the work you guys do. Around my area machine shops are closing down because the next generation doesn't want to take over or the works not there. Keep posting please. Really enjoyed the 455 build
You guys are a great team and seem to really enjoy working together. Had I known that machine shop work like yours was this satisfying I would have gone to school for it. I'd love doing this kind of work. Plus, you have the right tools for the jobs.
Love the channel! great tagging along with you as your working :) appreciate the time you take to put this together for us 👍. Take care folks! Cheers 🍻
Love this length of video versus a minute or two of shorts, you get to see more of the the full process. Like others here, I find this type of work soothing also. It must be something engineering type people can relate too. Keep them going. Can do with a video update on the new build please.
Hey Yall , enjoy watching 👀 the machine work going on . Fun to watch you and your Dad and learn things as we go . Great work and I love the attention to detail that goes into your work . Take care and God Bless .
Good video. I'm not 100% sure but those heads look a lot like some older IH truck engine heads. I worked at a IH truck dealership in the 80's and spent a few years in the machine shop there. Maybe John Deere copied the engines or built them under license
Would grinding the valves after cutting seats and checking the valve height cause a bit more recession? If so is there a reason why grinding after vs before cutting seats ?
Absolutely loving this content from the other side of the world 🇦🇺. Does the Serdi position 'float' when cutting seats or are you winding the X and y handles to the exact spot to start cutting? I understand it's using the guide to cut but how does it get centred in the first place. Hope this makes sense 😂

What would a Yanmar 3GM30F cylinder head rebuild ballpark cost be? It’s a marine Diesel engine. I can’t get any machine shop in Seattle to even answer the phone.
Hey Nicolaus, I really like your UA-cam content. As a 3rd generation working at their family automotive machine shop, I get to learn a lot from your informative videos. Just had a question - At @16:22, what is your valve grinding machine setup? Also what kind of coolant are you using while grinding them valves? Thank you.
i just got to ask you Can one install valve seals on a enguine that doenst originally have them? i got an 1968 IHC434 with the DD148 4 cylinder 2.5 liter Diesel engine with abaut 6000 original hours on it - I dont care for more Horsepower but the exhaust sut is sticky and builds up because engine oil is slowly leaking down the valve guides in small quantities - gets burned from the intake side and gets spit out on the exhaust side - abaut a coffee mug per 40 hours of run time i payed 1100$ for the entire tractor so a engine rebuild kit for 1800 really is not reallysomething im willing to make, I use it less than 80hours a year - can one install valve seals after the fact on a engine that originally doesnt have any- im especially worried that the valves will not get adequate lubrication - for now I will switch from 10W40 to 15W40 oil to reduce guide leakage can one install valve guide seals on a engine that doesnt have any?
I think you are asking the wrong shop. These guy refurbish engines. They aren't focused on building engines for power. Check out the channel called Power Nation. They build a ton of stuff for power. They might already have a video on your 4.9L ford.
Hey ,quick question for you , when cutting the seats and all the small metal fragments go shooting around the head ,how do you ensure no metal gets into coolant and the internal passages of the head ?

Absolutely LOVE the location of your shop! Out in the country where you're not all jammed together.

You do beautiful work. You seem to take a lot of pride in your work. People don't get that everywhere.

Top notch work your dad and you worked so hard and you deserve it
It's something amazing what you doing here, so professional and special job, a pleasure to see all this process, nice, very nice, thanks for share
Really dig that clever lifting tool you made with the different threads on them, great idea!
Nice!
Back to factory specs. May be better depending on seat material !
What a Sunday treat!!! Great Video!!!!
Thanks for sharing .
Great explanations and narration. Ha! I see you must live on the plains close to KS with that kind of wind.👍
Thank you for your video
Excellent
I enjoy watching n learning
Such beautiful work
Great work. I love watching these videos that you put out.

So cool watching these videos. Thanks for sharing
Nice engineering. Love it.
Great video thanks for all the hard work
Thanks for watching! 😁
Качественно выполненная работа👍 Привет из Казахстана🖐
Been the same way here in Kansas wind from hell for almost a week.
Would grinding the valves after cutting seats and checking the valve height cause a bit more recession?
If so is there a reason why grinding after vs before cutting seats ?
Technically yes, but grinding to touch up takes less than .001” typically.
I love this stuff, thanks for the video
The wind has been nuts around here lately!
When it comes to investing, nothing pays off more than educating yourself with the right information from the right source. That's how you get rich.
You're right, that's why I invested into assets like cryptocurrency and some stocks
Stocks are good to invest on, but crypto is more profitable
I wanted to trade crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price
I heard that his strategies are really good
@@annabelkatherine6441 Will I know about Mr Dave Jevans he's a good broker, and more his trading strategies are top notch
Nic, have you thought about merch sales? T-shirt's/hats/hoodies etc? Didn't notice any on the website.
Nice Nicholas!
good video keep up the good work ethic good job
Did I see some Allis Chalmers iron outside ?!
Indeed!
@@JAMSIONLINE Awesome, Milwaukee Gold
Y'all have any luck with chilling the valve guides to give a little clearance when installing? How much interference for do you have?
Absolutely loving this content from the other side of the world 🇦🇺.
Does the Serdi position 'float' when cutting seats or are you winding the X and y handles to the exact spot to start cutting? I understand it's using the guide to cut but how does it get centred in the first place. Hope this makes sense 😂
Triple air float, then locks down when cutting from my understanding.
Good channel
Love the video
Sweet video
🙌🏼
I am building a car And I've already done engine work on it one But I would love to send my heads to you and have them rebuilt and receded and Have them built so they can handle horsepower I absolutely love watching what you'll doAnd maybe yo can make a video out of my heads.
why dont u use your hydraulic press to press the valve guide ?
Your videos are amazing. Have you watched any of Cutting Edge Engineering Australia? Kurtis makes amazing videos as well.
Good 👌
What would a Yanmar 3GM30F cylinder head rebuild ballpark cost be? It’s a marine Diesel engine. I can’t get any machine shop in Seattle to even answer the phone.
Another great video Nick! And your dad is a case! Lol
The later seems viable to me!!!!
Hey Nicolaus, I really like your UA-cam content. As a 3rd generation working at their family automotive machine shop, I get to learn a lot from your informative videos. Just had a question - At @16:22, what is your valve grinding machine setup? Also what kind of coolant are you using while grinding them valves? Thank you.
10:55
Holding out!
What’s up with that OBS? 😀
do you do work on small engines. like snow blowers or lawn tractors.
i just got to ask you
Can one install valve seals on a enguine that doenst originally have them? i got an 1968 IHC434 with the DD148 4 cylinder 2.5 liter Diesel engine with abaut 6000 original hours on it - I dont care for more Horsepower but the exhaust sut is sticky and builds up because engine oil is slowly leaking down the valve guides in small quantities - gets burned from the intake side and gets spit out on the exhaust side - abaut a coffee mug per 40 hours of run time
i payed 1100$ for the entire tractor so a engine rebuild kit for 1800 really is not reallysomething im willing to make, I use it less than 80hours a year - can one install valve seals after the fact on a engine that originally doesnt have any- im especially worried that the valves will not get adequate lubrication - for now I will switch from 10W40 to 15W40 oil to reduce guide leakage
can one install valve guide seals on a engine that doesnt have any?
Do you grind 2 angle on the valve? Or just 1?
👍
Love the videos one question how much power do you think you could make with a built 4.9 l Ford
I think you are asking the wrong shop. These guy refurbish engines. They aren't focused on building engines for power. Check out the channel called Power Nation. They build a ton of stuff for power. They might already have a video on your 4.9L ford.
notification squad, Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
You as well! Thanks for watching!
Hey ,quick question for you , when cutting the seats and all the small metal fragments go shooting around the head ,how do you ensure no metal gets into coolant and the internal passages of the head ?
That is what the final wash, rinse, and blowout are for!
We throughly rinse and blow out every passage before assembly.
Do only work on domestic?
DO YOU RUN A FARM AS WELL
Why couldn't you drive the old guides out, instead of drilling them out?
How much a build like this cost?
Depends, but usually easily in the range of $1k
What's one of those drill bits cost that you your take the valve guides out?
I believe they’re a little over $200
Why not invite Junkyard Digs out to revive that pickup outside your shop?
I don't like the Serdi seat machines I like using Berco machine personally.
I don't know the first thing about machining but I'm curious how long the sort of job would take?
Without interruptions both of these jobs could be done in a days work. Unfortunately, interruptions happen lol.
whats the part number of the mitutoyo valve guide bore gauge?
goodson.com/products/mvg-34-split-ball-bore-gauge?_pos=12&_sid=4b9c9f827&_ss=r
You can get it here, if you decide to order tell them I sent you :)
