You're giving JD more than knowledge... you're giving him knowledge and memories. Remember there are a lot more people with little money than there are people with tons of money.... we all want our kids to have more than we do... but what if they don't? You're doing right dad
Applaud you for explaining things to JD ,As a Dad I wS not good at being a good teacher, I didn't explain in A why a young mind could crash it. My mistake working 60-80 hrs in the plant &2hrs road time left my grouchy and I regret it. Your doing great with him ,ya never know what career he will actually follow as we make wrong choices early in life thinking we know what we want to do but soon learn it sucksn good news has has your kind teaching to fall back on or have a great hobby. I've Watched almost all your videos so keep them coming.
lots of guys feel stuck out there if they don't have the money to send it to a machine shop. I like seeing the old fashioned All American shade tree mechanic make it work! plus this way JD will have a role to play in the complete rebuild of his engine.
Seeing you and JD work together is a real treat! When I was twelve I helped my dad to do some (sketchy) bodywork on the family's old '60 Valiant, and I have since passed (sketchy) techniques on to my son - the circle of life.......
Your boy is so chilled, does the work, doesn't complain, doesn't get discouraged by the setback 🤙🏻. Teaching him to use what you got will help him appreciate when he can spend more on a build one day, good on ya👍🏻
You are wise beyond your years young fella. Your dad is giving you 2 gifts. Love most importantly and also engine tear down 101. Sorry, I got a little smoke in my eye, and the wonderful gift if sarcasm. 😂😂😂 He is a master at that and also one of the reasons I tune in.
My Dad use to do that all the time. Just rings and bearings. They ran good. I know we did that 352cid ford that way. It got me and my brother around until we could get something better. JD is still doing a great job.
Loved when JD was on his own, just gettin' in there, and doin' it! And by the way, you are teaching him the right way! My daddy had alot of "tricks" he used, and he was a professional mechanic! Ya'll keep up the awesome work!
You might be able to use a machineable patching compund like what is used by construction companies on hydraulic cylinder it might work I don't know if it can stand up to the heat of the engine
I truly enjoy your videos, not only do these help the slow nights at work go by faster but you also motivate me to work on my own projects soon as I get home. JD is going to be a master at this!
JD have a good focus and positive attitude to the work . When kids are like that they learn new skills and can learn hove to solve problems . Very positive to watch this video.
Great work you your boy are doing. You don't always need to replace, or machine, something since it was taken apart. I have a 2001 Sliverado 2500 HD 6.0L equipped. That engine hydrolocked, bent a rod. I replaced that one rod with a used one. Reused the bearings,pistons,rings. It did get a diggle ball quickie. Three yrs 30 thousand miles later still doing work, and not using oil!
You doing it the way I would. I don’t care what the professionals say. I do what works. In my younger broke days. I’ve changed one rod bearing with a used one before. I ran that motor 2 more years until I wrecked the truck. The keyboard warriors will swear up down that it won’t run a month but it did and it ran fine.
Just a thought here, have you thought about taking off the rod caps of the stuck pistons and tapping them up from the bottom with a deadblow and a piece of wood? I have had to do that before then the crank will turn. just a thought. Thanks for the great video.
@@PoleBarnGarage I just figured since you already loosened all the mains it was not much more work to pop on them. You are far smarter than me. Although I'm better looking.
There’s a right way and a way that works. A buddy of mine has a 2009 suburban with a 5.3 and afm. Has nearly 300k miles in it and barely runs on 6.5 cylinders. He just keep driving. Who cares. It’s reliable, runs and pulls a trailer.
The key to mechanicing for me is to A. never wear something you aren’t worried about throwing away. Dos the right tool for the job doesn’t have to be the “right” tool. Q the manual is a suggestion. 3 you can work in any outfit, 19 burns are a way of life pain is temporary but the car will last at least 42 more minutes.
One of your best episodes yet. Reminds me of my Dad and our bond. I get so nostalgic watching your content as you have fun with your boy on these projects.
Oh and my kid say's to ya thanks for getting JD involved in working on stuff and his project and doing his thing for their generation. And liking old cars . ( if jd helps even a few dozen kids from going down ricer ally then a good deed has been done here just my words )👍 there's a lot of guys out there that enjoy these vids with their Youngins , you know that bonding time thing for 20 minutes 😂
Love to see the father son project. My first father son car project really changed the trajectory of my life and career in a great way. It’s an experience I wouldn’t trade for all the money in the world.
Once again excellent bodgy work,yes it can and will work. I haven't had to go big on a rebuild of this magnitude but did have to literally THROW a cylinder head on a van 2 days before Christmas just so I could get to a far flung job. My mechanic was horrified but honestly I am a little bit proud of the fact that a bodge job lasted another 8 months. Truck certainly wasn't worth a rebuilt head let alone whole motor,and it wasn't the cost but the fact shops were closed for a few days and parts probably not available till silly season ended. Certainly no harm in temporarily permanent repairs
i agree my dad helped me do this very same thing on a 265 chevy for my high school car i gave that engine hell thru high school i tore up three clutchs behind that engine i did the same thing with my boys now i can afford to do better helping a friends son with a ford v6 now its a dingle special too it runs out good
Wow! Fair play to your boy for tearing into it himself and figuring out ways around stripped fasteners Memories and skills that'll last him a lifetime 👍
It's a wonderful thing teaching your son about cars. I didn't really have anyone to help me so I did it wrong more than once. Great watching your videos 👍
It good to see JD staying right with it, your teaching that boy right👍 he will have skills that will benefit him in the future. It's good to know how to make stuff work without spending a lot of money on it
JD should be proud of himself but diving right in and making a fine video all on his own 👍 it's good to see the pair of you working on this together 👍☮️
Dale, you bring up some great points about rebuilds. I think some just go way too far. I drive my Pontiac about 4000 miles a year. If I do a simple rebuild and only get 40000 miles out of it, heck that's ten years of fun. Keep up the great work and tell JD we're rooting for him.
Hi J.D. do not under estimate how lucky you are. Your dad enjoys spending time with you, he is very knowledgeable and funny at the same time, he is an excellent teacher and you can see he revels in passing this information on to you. Embrace this period of your life, remember it and never forget it. The only thing I did with my dad was argue.
Something to be said about a car that you put together yourself. I am not a mechanic myself, but I can appreciate the hard work that goes into fixing stuff like this. Great skill to teach your son.
Living on the farms and working on old farm trucks, cars, and tractors you really get to see how creative the old timers got. I don't see it as "oh they did it the wrong way!! They had to do it like this!!! They should've used the proper stuff!!" I see it as inspiration, think outside the box more, if a strip of tractor belting held together with hog rings works as a V belt then how can it possibly be the wrong way to do it?
You are exactly correct on doing what it takes to get her on the road when funds are tight or nonexistent. Many times I swapped out parts from other engines to get one going so I had something to drive. Luckily for me my dad had a lot of spare parts. mini boneyard. Even did the forbidden used cam swap with with used lifters from numerous engines. The mystery 5 gallon bucket full of pushrods and lifters! Got me back on the road and learned a lot doing it myself also. Keep it up, you are doing great on here.
Making do with what you got is what I learned at an early age with my grandfather. I think you're teaching the boy right. If you get that thing running and it runs 10,000 miles what a success. Making it just like brand used.
Vice grip garage was once about the average guy. He is now doing things far beyond what the average person can do. Your channel is much more realistic and relatable to the average person. I wish you a lot of luck in your future.
Man I wish it was nice enough that I would be wearing a jacket but that’s not going to happen since it was 111 degrees Fahrenheit today and possibly for at least the next month
I wish i had some more help back on My first car to know when to get a crank ground.. My Dad was just a rings and bearings rebuilder.. and my bearings didn't last long at all due to excessivly worn crank, and only removed the bore ridge at the time and i don't even recall honing it so blow by was IMPRESSIVE lol. if i knew what i know now, i'd have probably gone to wreckers and pulled some heads off for a second hand short motor.. but might have been cheap to grind the crank and bore the block at that time also. live and learn, just like you are teaching JD and your followers. (i'm wondering HOW bad pitting/scores would need to be to cause issues also.. surely most of these old engines sitting 10yrs that run never get checked for pitting, she'll be right !)
There are more than one way to do things that work. Do it your way. That's fine. That young man is learning. Dad and son time is a necessity in life. Love your channel.
Perfectly done with the young man!! When I started rebuilding Diesel engines I was taught by an old timer that you can do just one cylinder!! Or just the minimum and I did for a long time and they ran for a long time after!!
::is now very upset and horrified that its probably gonna be another 3 days for more PBG awesomeness to happen:: 😭 oh nohhh ::sighs and waits:: 😥 guess ill haveta make do with roadkill reruns...🙄
Your doing awesome! keep it up videos keep getting better! ☝😆 yes we will always want more yes it will take time yes we will whine like the goats transmission. 🤓 Which is a very high compliment. Fact: I would rather watch PBG than Roadkill. 😅 there is no higher praise. Long live the Goat!
You should be proud of that kid Dalton. He is definitely a rare breed these days even expressing any interest in anything that's not an app! And by all means after the shit that's happened this week , be sure to tell him you love him....you just never know these days.
He plays games and stuff like anyone else, he just has balance. It's a good thing. I couldn't be more proud of him. I suppose it's how a dad with kids in sports might feel if theirs hit a home run out scored a TD. Except it's pretty much daily
I grew up outside in the field playing with heaps of shit from 8years old the mechanic or DIY guy your boy is becoming is a 100 times useful in reality/real life then ur school boy landed into a fancy dealership having never touched a junker in his life b4 . Working with what you have is better then not working at all anyone who actually knocks the way your doing doing it isnt looking at the situation in a the positive light/outcome.. is it rough as a beers asssssss you bet ya will it blow up long b4 a $10000 engine sure it will the smile on his face when it fires up after 500bucks goes into it will be huge . I'm going on a bit but the appreciation you get for things being brought up this why is price less
In my opinion you are doing it exactly right. The real world way. The working man's way. And JD is getting excellent father son time. Making memories and learning useful things. Also getting him outside doing/learning mechanical, useful things instead of sitting in front of a TV screen playing video games all the time. Hat's off to ya my friend!!!
I really enjoy your challenging builds! I'm proud for J.D., and you as well, love the great Dad and Son interactions! I'm all for reusing/refurbishing cars and parts for them, if at all possible. Not everyone has vast resources and the cash, to have someone else do the work! I'm very hands on and always have been, when it comes to cars, and trucks. Boys with great Dads like you grow into great young Men, with great memories and useful abilities! I'm anxious to continue following you both, and enjoy every episode!
I was having a bad night. Thank you for this. JD’s going to be a good mechanic. Does a heart good. You pulling that rattle trap around the yard had me pissin a lil bit bro. Hahaha awesome video.
My oldest son and I did a lot of this kind of stuff. When he was 16 we built a VW Baja bug. He's now he's 39. I'll never forget those memories neither will he.
Hello from France ! This series with your son is undoubtedly the best on your channel! It reminded me of the time when my father and I repaired cars together. He died a while ago, and seeing you two spending time together for a common passion reminds me of a lot of good times. Thank you ! Make the most of these moments, and I wish you the best. (sorry for my bad English, I'm French... and I don't have a Jaaag! :D)
I’m really enjoying what you are doing and the video quality is excellent. Keep working with JD and get that next generation doing the analogue stuff we grew up with! Great work!
Nice work. I loved it when you said the situation has become desperation. I laughed my ass off when the truck rolled off the trailer and headed toward the gate. I've never had to deal with a seized engine yet. I had always heard that the FE intakes weigh a TON.
Hi Dalton ! I think the lessons you are teaching him about not giving up , and looking for best options that fit your budget will stay with him forever. A " This is best option " versus " this is what we can do " will stick with him forever. I never had much money , but learned how to be resourceful... I'm now 70...and still weigh my options. Life lessons Sir....Great Job !
J.D. has the coolest Dad ever! He's wise 🦉, fun, and very informative. Plus, he's a good Father that teaches his son HOW to be successful as an adult. A Father teaching his Son how to be an adult is priceless 👍. I loved the, "get in there, workers get messy" talk. This video sure made my day! Thanks.
If you rebuild the heads and all that shouldn't the adjustment, manual or hydraulic, still be a thing. disregarding the old wear pattern. You dont need to keep the order.
In a pinch, my Dad would put an engine together out of whatever he had on hand and run it. I'd go to school smelling like kerosene from cleaning parts. Brains and creativity beats Money every time. I like blade hones better though. That might just be because that's what Dad always used so that's what I use. He's getting greasy. The rest will come in time. It'll run.
I'm a Ford guy but I like ALL of the older American makes. Have owned a couple Chevy trucks, a '67 long bed and a '71 short bed step side, a '79 Buick Regal and a '74 Plymouth Satellite. I took my drivers license test in a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass S. In fact I've been looking around for another but holee cow the prices have gotten out of hand! But I digress... Love your channel and your humor. Your boy is awesome. You're bringing him up right. Take care.--Bruce
JC Whitney!!! Loved that catalog! This reminds me of working on a 62 300H with my dad great memories of rebuilding that wedge with him twice! We totally hosed torque specs and the engine came undone. Everything but the paint was done! Happy to watch you and your boy build this cool A$$ car budget style! I pray you and your son can do more cool projects together. Thank you for your content!
not only are your videos full of excellent advice (or, as you usually put it, the right way to do things wrong), but they are entertaining as well even when not trying to (I didn't expect the valve springs musical number, it really cracked me up) ;-) muy bueno ... JD is at an excellent car guy school with you
Its pretty bad when a child(JD at the time) knows more about engines than MOST mechanics. Great job man, keep learning and maybe, MAYBE 1 day u will be smarter than ur dad.
JD and Dalton are doing the heavy lifting with that motor, but Jess has a vested interest too. She is responsible for all those clean clothes you guys bring out and cover in oil and grease.👍
Cool video your son will learn a lot, and be thankful for you helping him with his first car. Them are memories you never forget either, keep up the good work.
I love 💕 it when the Pole Barn Boss treats his son like a real employee that's on the job. Especially when he inserts the comment, "we're going to lose the shop". This is so entertaining and funny 🤣. Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.
You have a GREAT attitude towards the notion these last 2 generations have that think everything needs to be perfect while at the same time going broke (or putting yourself in terminal debt) making it that way. Same way in the bike biz.....just sand it down, spray some Krylon on it and go for it....
What size is it it's a part to his rundown rod that is what I call it when the engine is not in super good shape usually Ford doesn't do anything that is any good unless they stole it from another company
Ford innovated a lot of things and had some superior attributes. Fe engines are dogs, but they hold up. And you can get massive cubes out of them with very little extra work. I don't like Ford's as a rule, but you have to be objective about it, otherwise you just sound stupid
They do have some good engine's but they love to say how great they are and have gotten big head's and that is not a good thing because you need to actually go over your stuff that you create and see if you need to improve on it and Ford doesn't do that that is the biggest problem
You said "That's some good Ford engineering there." (edit: about the fan not the bell housing haha) Please don't make me spit out my coffee like that again, haha (I'm just playing but I'm a GM guy as if that really matters, but at least Chevy doesn't put a 3rd bolt on everything that you need to buy a special tool for to get off - or destroy one of my old tools to do)
I have a 390 that's complete and I think just need freshened up or a 410 short block that needs everything I'd give you if you come pick them up in Nebraska
you are a great dad! my dad did the same thing with me and a blown up 72 ford courier. in 1984 . Rebuilt ontop of a table saw . remember when he is 16 and wants a 440 4sp 71 cuda its your fault. love your channel buddy .do us and him a favor though kindly asking cause we want u around .quit smokeing . god bless
You're giving that young man the best education money can't buy Dalton. You really don't need to explain yourself to the keyboard warriors out here. I'll be a dollar to a whatever that saying is that anybody who bitches at you about teaching JD the wrong way has never touched a crankshaft in their life no less know what a 040 over bore is or an undersized bearing for a connecting rod journal. So yeah
Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. The blue stuff, squeeze bottle, wht/blu label. put some in a glass and drop in a few rusty bolts. overnight magic. stinks. Paint or oil the bolts after rinsing.
Reminds of all the projects I did with my son when he was growing up. Very precious times! Still laughing from the scene of you pulling one truck with your " truck ".
Its awesome that you are teaching your son to work on cars. He is going to love having a vehicle that he helped build. I grew up working around demolition cars with my dad and uncle. My first car was a 69 camaro which I helped build and paint. My dad and uncle have both passed but I will never forget the experience. Great job dad!
I really like how he talks TO his son and not AT him, also JD gives back the respect by hanging on every word Dalton says. Great team you two.
He's an equal not a lesser
@@PoleBarnGarage Exactly my point
@@PoleBarnGarage There should be more parents like yourself.
I wish my father had the same patience and way to explain things (ironically he was an English and self made computer science teacher)
Nothing brings tears to this old mechanics eyes faster than watching a Dad and a lad working together on a car restoration!!!
You're giving JD more than knowledge... you're giving him knowledge and memories. Remember there are a lot more people with little money than there are people with tons of money.... we all want our kids to have more than we do... but what if they don't? You're doing right dad
Yep. It’s a beautiful thing 😊

glad you like the grinder, hopefully you and the boy get years of use out of her.
We will! Thanks again!
No problem, love the channel. Happy to help
Got that same grinder just waiting to use it!

Man I wish it was nice enough that I would be wearing a jacket but that’s not going to happen since it was 111 degrees Fahrenheit today and possibly for at least the next month
105 here
Trying to knock out at least one of your vids a day. There sure is some killer content to get through. Appreciate the effort put in :-)
Appreciate it!
I wish i had some more help back on My first car to know when to get a crank ground.. My Dad was just a rings and bearings rebuilder.. and my bearings didn't last long at all due to excessivly worn crank, and only removed the bore ridge at the time and i don't even recall honing it so blow by was IMPRESSIVE lol. if i knew what i know now, i'd have probably gone to wreckers and pulled some heads off for a second hand short motor.. but might have been cheap to grind the crank and bore the block at that time also. live and learn, just like you are teaching JD and your followers. (i'm wondering HOW bad pitting/scores would need to be to cause issues also.. surely most of these old engines sitting 10yrs that run never get checked for pitting, she'll be right !)
My thoughts exactly!
It's great to see him working on his motor he will appreciate it so much more working on it himself keep up the great work
There are more than one way to do things that work. Do it your way. That's fine. That young man is learning. Dad and son time is a necessity in life. Love your channel.
Perfectly done with the young man!! When I started rebuilding Diesel engines I was taught by an old timer that you can do just one cylinder!! Or just the minimum and I did for a long time and they ran for a long time after!!
Obligatory like and comment
Comments on this channel helps and are priceless, just like the time you spend with your son. Priceless.
::is now very upset and horrified that its probably gonna be another 3 days for more PBG awesomeness to happen:: 😭 oh nohhh
::sighs and waits:: 😥 guess ill haveta make do with roadkill reruns...🙄
I'm trying to make bigger meatier episodes, takes a bit more time
Your doing awesome! keep it up videos keep getting better! ☝😆 yes we will always want more yes it will take time yes we will whine like the goats transmission. 🤓 Which is a very high compliment.
Fact: I would rather watch PBG than Roadkill.
😅 there is no higher praise. Long live the Goat!
You should be proud of that kid Dalton. He is definitely a rare breed these days even expressing any interest in anything that's not an app! And by all means after the shit that's happened this week , be sure to tell him you love him....you just never know these days.
He plays games and stuff like anyone else, he just has balance. It's a good thing. I couldn't be more proud of him. I suppose it's how a dad with kids in sports might feel if theirs hit a home run out scored a TD. Except it's pretty much daily
I grew up outside in the field playing with heaps of shit from 8years old the mechanic or DIY guy your boy is becoming is a 100 times useful in reality/real life then ur school boy landed into a fancy dealership having never touched a junker in his life b4 . Working with what you have is better then not working at all anyone who actually knocks the way your doing doing it isnt looking at the situation in a the positive light/outcome..
is it rough as a beers asssssss you bet ya
will it blow up long b4 a $10000 engine sure it will
the smile on his face when it fires up after 500bucks goes into it will be huge .
I'm going on a bit but the appreciation you get for things being brought up this why is price less
Reckon I could drink beer with ya friend
@@PoleBarnGarage lol grab a plain ticket to ireland .
nahhhh stay where you are I'd rather go to the usa and drink some beers .
In my opinion you are doing it exactly right. The real world way. The working man's way. And JD is getting excellent father son time. Making memories and learning useful things. Also getting him outside doing/learning mechanical, useful things instead of sitting in front of a TV screen playing video games all the time. Hat's off to ya my friend!!!
I really enjoy your challenging builds! I'm proud for J.D., and you as well, love the great Dad and Son interactions! I'm all for reusing/refurbishing cars and parts for them, if at all possible. Not everyone has vast resources and the cash, to have someone else do the work! I'm very hands on and always have been, when it comes to cars, and trucks. Boys with great Dads like you grow into great young Men, with great memories and useful abilities! I'm anxious to continue following you both, and enjoy every episode!
I was having a bad night. Thank you for this. JD’s going to be a good mechanic. Does a heart good. You pulling that rattle trap around the yard had me pissin a lil bit bro. Hahaha awesome video.
Glad to help
My oldest son and I did a lot of this kind of stuff. When he was 16 we built a VW Baja bug. He's now he's 39. I'll never forget those memories neither will he.
Hello from France !
This series with your son is undoubtedly the best on your channel!
It reminded me of the time when my father and I repaired cars together. He died a while ago, and seeing you two spending time together for a common passion reminds me of a lot of good times. Thank you !
Make the most of these moments, and I wish you the best.
(sorry for my bad English, I'm French... and I don't have a Jaaag! :D)
I’m really enjoying what you are doing and the video quality is excellent. Keep working with JD and get that next generation doing the analogue stuff we grew up with! Great work!
Nice work. I loved it when you said the situation has become desperation. I laughed my ass off when the truck rolled off the trailer and headed toward the gate. I've never had to deal with a seized engine yet. I had always heard that the FE intakes weigh a TON.
Watching in Reverse order!
Hi Dalton ! I think the lessons you are teaching him about not giving up , and looking for best options that fit your budget will stay with him forever. A
" This is best option " versus " this is what we can do " will stick with him forever. I never had much money , but learned how to be resourceful... I'm now 70...and still weigh my options. Life lessons Sir....Great Job !
Like your philosophy....
J.D. has the coolest Dad ever! He's wise 🦉, fun, and very informative. Plus, he's a good Father that teaches his son HOW to be successful as an adult. A Father teaching his Son how to be an adult is priceless 👍. I loved the, "get in there, workers get messy" talk. This video sure made my day! Thanks.
If you rebuild the heads and all that shouldn't the adjustment, manual or hydraulic, still be a thing. disregarding the old wear pattern. You dont need to keep the order.
Reusing all of it to keep cost down. But yes, with new parts it wouldn't matter
I dint say nothin bout new parts
Engines that stuck ,in my experience , have jumped timing chains...I would have pulled the timing cover off first... shrug.
In a pinch, my Dad would put an engine together out of whatever he had on hand and run it. I'd go to school smelling like kerosene from cleaning parts. Brains and creativity beats Money every time. I like blade hones better though. That might just be because that's what Dad always used so that's what I use. He's getting greasy. The rest will come in time. It'll run.
I'm a Ford guy but I like ALL of the older American makes. Have owned a couple Chevy trucks, a '67 long bed and a '71 short bed step side, a '79 Buick Regal and a '74 Plymouth Satellite. I took my drivers license test in a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass S. In fact I've been looking around for another but holee cow the prices have gotten out of hand! But I digress... Love your channel and your humor. Your boy is awesome. You're bringing him up right. Take care.--Bruce
JC Whitney!!! Loved that catalog! This reminds me of working on a 62 300H with my dad great memories of rebuilding that wedge with him twice! We totally hosed torque specs and the engine came undone. Everything but the paint was done! Happy to watch you and your boy build this cool A$$ car budget style!
I pray you and your son can do more cool projects together. Thank you for your content!
not only are your videos full of excellent advice (or, as you usually put it, the right way to do things wrong), but they are entertaining as well even when not trying to (I didn't expect the valve springs musical number, it really cracked me up) ;-) muy bueno ... JD is at an excellent car guy school with you
Its pretty bad when a child(JD at the time) knows more about engines than MOST mechanics. Great job man, keep learning and maybe, MAYBE 1 day u will be smarter than ur dad.
JD and Dalton are doing the heavy lifting with that motor, but Jess has a vested interest too. She is responsible for all those clean clothes you guys bring out and cover in oil and grease.👍
Cool video your son will learn a lot, and be thankful for you helping him with his first car. Them are memories you never forget either, keep up the good work.
I love 💕 it when the Pole Barn Boss treats his son like a real employee that's on the job. Especially when he inserts the comment, "we're going to lose the shop". This is so entertaining and funny 🤣. Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.
You have a GREAT attitude towards the notion these last 2 generations have that think everything needs to be perfect while at the same time going broke (or putting yourself in terminal debt) making it that way. Same way in the bike biz.....just sand it down, spray some Krylon on it and go for it....
What size is it it's a part to his rundown rod that is what I call it when the engine is not in super good shape usually Ford doesn't do anything that is any good unless they stole it from another company
Ford innovated a lot of things and had some superior attributes. Fe engines are dogs, but they hold up. And you can get massive cubes out of them with very little extra work. I don't like Ford's as a rule, but you have to be objective about it, otherwise you just sound stupid
They do have some good engine's but they love to say how great they are and have gotten big head's and that is not a good thing because you need to actually go over your stuff that you create and see if you need to improve on it and Ford doesn't do that that is the biggest problem
You said "That's some good Ford engineering there." (edit: about the fan not the bell housing haha) Please don't make me spit out my coffee like that again, haha (I'm just playing but I'm a GM guy as if that really matters, but at least Chevy doesn't put a 3rd bolt on everything that you need to buy a special tool for to get off - or destroy one of my old tools to do)
Everything deserves a second chance even a Ford. Well that's not much if a compliment but from a Chevrolet truck like you I'll take it.
I have a 390 that's complete and I think just need freshened up or a 410 short block that needs everything I'd give you if you come pick them up in Nebraska
you are a great dad! my dad did the same thing with me and a blown up 72 ford courier. in 1984 . Rebuilt ontop of a table saw . remember when he is 16 and wants a 440 4sp 71 cuda its your fault. love your channel buddy .do us and him a favor though kindly asking cause we want u around .quit smokeing . god bless
Rust in the cylinder ,360 truck engine is junk
Wanna bet?
Great videos👍
Awesome video.pulling towards and wheels going backwards brought back great ole memories
Ford's are heavy
You're giving that young man the best education money can't buy Dalton. You really don't need to explain yourself to the keyboard warriors out here. I'll be a dollar to a whatever that saying is that anybody who bitches at you about teaching JD the wrong way has never touched a crankshaft in their life no less know what a 040 over bore is or an undersized bearing for a connecting rod journal. So yeah
Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. The blue stuff, squeeze bottle, wht/blu label. put some in a glass and drop in a few rusty bolts. overnight magic. stinks. Paint or oil the bolts after rinsing.
Reminds of all the projects I did with my son when he was growing up. Very precious times! Still laughing from the scene of you pulling one truck with your " truck ".
Its awesome that you are teaching your son to work on cars. He is going to love having a vehicle that he helped build.
I grew up working around demolition cars with my dad and uncle. My first car was a 69 camaro which I helped build and paint. My dad and uncle have both passed but I will never forget the experience. Great job dad!
Ford did the same thing with the Cologne V6’s 2.6 and the 2.8. Granted not the pushrods but the valve covers bolt to the intake
