Have a 54 Ford 600 292. With a gravel box and hoist on it. 41000 original miles. 61 Ford 600 272 with a winch deck gin poles. Sure was a great truck. I'm down sizing I might keep that 61 Ford and use it to drive around. Watching videos like this are steering me in that direction. Great job 👍.
ya stuck engines do that, my old honda xr200 did that i put some oil down the plug hole gave it just enough compression to fire then it took off. still running 5 years later lol
I was not expecting the flames to come out of the engine like that. YEARS ago my dad was an auto mechanic and the bay next to him they were trying to start some used car and apparently someone before them tried to as well because the oil pan was full of gas. A spark got past the rings or something and blew the oil pan right off the engine. There were some small bits of pan left around the bolts but it ripped that thing right off and slammed it into the ground with authority lol. Gotta be careful with the old unknown stuff.
The y . Cut the groove in the camblock oils the top end through the center cam bering if you cut a pencil lead size groove around the center of Cam bearing it will oil on top.cut the groove in the cam
I don't know if you were having fun, but it was a blast to watch. Glad nobody got hurt! That fall with the pry bar looked like something that has happened to me from time to time over the years.
Fond memories of Y blocks. When I was a young kid, my dad had a 59 F100 with a 292. Several years later when I got my license, my first vehicle was a 57 F100 with the 272. Neither gave us any trouble. Nice flash there at the end. 😂
Looked like the #1 cylinder wasn't firing (or at least wasnt puffing exhaust smoke), like the other 7 were when you had it spinning. Maybe the ole Italian-tune up. Good luck. Love your show. What kinda pointer is duff?
Good to see not everything you touch runs, It is hard enough to get a ford running in the first place let alone one that has 2 dead cylinders. Squirt a little 80-90 in the holes for a little more compression?!?
I bet it had a bunch of blow-by that's why it has those weird homebrew breathers and they just ran it til it wouldn't anymore and then you came along and tried to bring it back to life, the only problem being that all your atomized fuel is going past the rings and into the crankcase hence the very entertaining explosion. Do a quick and dirty ring and bearing job and she will run again.
I love these videos you do like this ,I'm learning alot from them as I'm just getting started in rebuilding engines at the right old age of 55,,Thanks so much
Lovin the way you’re still crankin on the thing still surrounded by flames and 24v of battery juice. you d’man! What a video I was willin it to run. Awesome flame-ige!
maybe more compression in the crankcase than in the cylinders....much more spectacular than fire out of the exhausts. Otto cycle be dammed, The new Mortske cycle of engine operation has been demonstrated live!
We have a 239 in a orchard sprayer, gas guzzler but works hard. We have lots of flatheads dad used to race hydroplanes in the 40s-50s. That "Y" block seems like intake gaskets Central California Watching
Looks like a clear cut case of valvus crudification. I've seen this before in a 410 Edsel. Spray a liberal amount of PB Blaster down the intake while cranking engine with 12 volts. If compression does not increase... pull the heads. It sometimes helps to run around the engine 23 times while holding your mouth a certain way. Which way I'm not certain. I fell asleep half way through the video did you do a compression test? I know you can do it. Perservere.
Nice fridge, you have all kinds of good stuff in it, I like mine it's a keg rater, fast refills and so convenient 😀 poor Duffy she wants some love and attention..
@@MortskeRepair It's amazing how much time folks waste trying to save time, and how much work they do to avoid work! 🤣 (Now THAT'S a great quote by me!)
I have had the same thing happen if there was gas in the oil. I bought a 73 VW Karmann-Ghia last summer which had not been run in over 20 years and had over quart of gas mixed with the oil because of a bad fuel pump. Changed the oil and she lit right off. When i start a engine which has not been run for a while I always use 2 cycle gas the first start. It lubes up the cylinders and rings. Bumps up the compression.
Is the beer count bet still on? That ball of Fire was impressive. That video almost had it all locked up motor, beer drinking ,fire and determination which I given an eight, If you got it running it would have been a 10. Keep having fun
I had similar problems with a 60 galaxie starliner. It has a 292 in it as well. Never would run right from the time we bought it. The person we got it from said the engine was new. It was. The guy who installed the engine used the firing order for an FE engine. Once I discovered that and set it right, it starts perfectly.
It's the wobble pops. You just didn't get enough of them consumed to get the timing right. Also, the "Y" Block Burnout at the end was epic. Great Mortske video as always. Hey to Duffers.
Really hoping you could have got it going. I had a 292 in a '63 pickup I once had. I never had to work on it internally but it turned out to be one of my favorite engines ever. Pulled hard and was easy on fuel. Truck finally rusted out. I used the motor in a pasture crusier that I built.
I heard he stepped on a murder hornet but the little bastard was in a carb spray induced hypobertharamic state of induced freeonic suspension so DUFF just ate it and smiled his tail off all night...
Usually clean dizzy cap and rotor contacts, plugs and sometimes the rotor can crack and short out so plugs dont actually get much spark. Stuck 292's can sometimes crack a piston ring when freeing them up allowing some gasses to escape into crank case causing similar issues with starting. As for the points use a power wire to the coil then of the coil through the dizzy housing to points and the plastic isolator that goes through the housing gets a slight shor causing weak or no spark.
How does someone confuse a SBC with a Y block I don't understand they gotta be blind or don't know what a SBC looks like because there is nothing the same about the two except maybe in bare block form that's about it
For 1954 ford had a 239 the Mercury engine was 256, For 1955 Chevy came out with there 265 engine so Ford increased there engine to 272 and the Merc engine was a 292! The 292 engine was last used in 1964 in ford pickups. They had to have adjustable Rockers they had solid lifters.
Man, this video never gets old, Mortske! The old UA-cam is a bit vague on when exactly it was posted up, but I'm sure it was well over 18 months ago (even though it only says "a year"). The ol' Why block, eh? That starter was a real trooper! Turning that just-unseized engine and then whirling it over with 24 volts up it's junta and the only smoke coming from the occasional firing piston. I'll have to go look at the tear-down episode on the engine to see what happened with it, but I don't recall seeing it reappear on the channel since. Hope you kept the starter though!
Fuel goes into oil through stuck rings and ignites as piston sends fire to oil. I say a little trans fluid and mixed chainsaw gas in fuel might help. Probably pull the plug wire off the driver side front cylinder maybe pull out the plug too and see if it does it again. The aerosol spray is what will vaporize and make that happen. Once it gets warm if you get it running it might free up.
Laughed out loud at the flame out there and the fact that you kept turning it over while the valve train was flaming like a Rat Fink T-shirt lol Loved that! Duff seemed pleased as well :-))
At last, something I can both remember and relate to! I owned a 1956 T-Bird (bought in 1960) which had the 312 y block engine and TWO four barrels. Found out later that the 2x4 wasn't available in 1956, only 1957, so obviously a previous owner switched it. 1955 T-Birds also had 4 barrels, but I believe the biggest engine was a 292, but that was a long time ago!
*Always nice when a video ends with fire!* Fill Cylinders with diesel and maybe the rings will unstick after a few days and a little cranking. i bet almost all the cylinders have stuck rings to the point you don't even have 50psi on each cylinder.
Hey mortske that one hook chain that you got on that engine is a choker chain used for dragging logs nice find engine ain't too bad either I used to have a 63 Ford pickup with one of those engines in third vehicle I have around

Great Fireworks Show for the new President? Was a big bang
I was ringing in the new year!
*Always nice when a video ends with fire!*
Fill Cylinders with diesel and maybe the rings will unstick after a few days and a little cranking.
i bet almost all the cylinders have stuck rings to the point you don't even have 50psi on each cylinder.
I'll give that a whirl!
Never mind lol! It finally posted. Read it and enjoy! I'd love to see you have success with your next locked up engine!
Will do!
