  • K8lynn pulls her very first engine at 15 years old and tears it down to the bare block so we can find out if it's good enough to rebuild, and you won't believe what we find, both good and bad. This thing exceeds all our expectations.

    Eric O from South Main Garage says "know your enemy ". You are so right about knowing how to learn and not being afraid to make mistakes.
    How many times have I dropped a plug in a drain pan. Too many to count and and counting. Your reactions to that situation just priceless. Thank You so much for the great content.

    20:32 I’m an Aussie . You say wrench we say spanner (pronounced span-a) you call it box end we call it a ring span-a or open end-a span-a.. That cab on a semi modern duelly and Alcoa Alloy wheels would look trick 🇦🇺🤙🏼

    Back in my younger days,when you looked at that much buildup. It was an engine that had Quaker state oil ran in it. The old version back in the Sixty's and 70's. I lost an engine due to using a good oil in one of these. great job on the engine. As always I liked and shared. All my best.

    You asked us to let you know if you’re appreciated. You sure are by me. I’m truly touched by you both working so hard and so well together. Both of your senses of humor and playful teasing are very fun to watch. You’ve an awesome young woman there whom I can see how truly proud you are of. The memories you’re making will no doubt be priceless to her for the rest of her life.
    It’s such a blessing in these what I truly believe are the end times, to see a Christian family so open and sharing their Faith on UA-cam. May our Heavenly Father make good use of your good works, ministries and testimonies to reach other families and inspire them to put down the electronics, get up from screens and work together on projects of their own.
    I’m looking forward to see the semifinal (old rods are forever evolving works in progress) product of her Ford body swap and safe, reliable vehicle being proudly used by your daughter.
    I enjoyed the c10 build and looking forward to the REO build as well.

      No, we are working each week, and so I regularly refer to “next week” when we’re working, but we’re on an every other week schedule right now. The pressure gets pretty high with work for me and school for K8lynn if we were trying to shoot and edit a video each week. Maybe one day. Thanks for watching.

      Yeah, the bottom end was surprisingly clean, except for the moths, and the spun bearings, but that top end was smoked.
