Your shots of the snow and weather around your shop, especially at night, are spooky. In the 70s, I spent many a night in a lonely industrial complex in the middle of nowhere in Canada working on some project car. The contrast between the inhospitable outside and the warmth of the shop inside was striking. Now I am spending my nights in a lonely industrial complex in California. I sometimes miss the bite of the cold when I leave at night. A trip to Timmy Hortons before going home would be nice.
There is no reason for COLD weather. Believe me. Stay warm in California.
Looking forward to seeing George's 6 cyl. torn down and rebuilt! Love the show!
We are hoping to take the wrenches to it in the next couple of days. Video to follow in a week or two.
As a kid who used to hang around Mr Norms Grand Spaulding Dodge your channel brings back so many fond memories! Thanks!
Our pleasure!
Cheers Nick and the crew at nicks garage. Always a class show. No drama no b s, nothing but class. Cheers from Edmonton
The only way to like snow and winters is to live somewhere that you have real winters. No freeze/thaw/rain/ snow and sloppy conditions.
That's the way you get dry snow that stays and you can get into winter activities...Like snowmobiling if you're into things with engines.
It makes winters go by really fast...Believe me 🙂
Hi Nick & George, Thanks for the tour of the shop, and all of the awesome cars that are there. So many engine to build, and run on the Dyno. I'm really looking forward to seeing George's 230 cu in six get torn down, rebuilt, and finally run on the dyno. Nick's Garage is like a box of chocolates, you just never know what you will get. Stay safe, and warm.
Glad you enjoyed it Eugene! We're a bit surprised how many folks are saying they want to see the six getting done. Nice to see the underdogs get a little respect. ❤️
I’m starting to have more respect for a six cylinder!
@@NicksGarage The 250 cu in six that I built for my 64 Chevelle, would run right along with most of Chevy's V8's, except for the higher HP engines. Most of the guys were surprised to find that I had a 6 cylinder under the hood.
@@cordovanbee They will run very well, when built with the right parts.
@@NicksGarage Such a shame you guys never got the 245/265 Hemis.
Hi Nick, Wanted to thank you for the information on ordering
" Vanishing Point Forever"
I received my copy on Saturday the 27th of Jan. Awesome book
Fantastic!
Always great looking around the shop. Lots of colours looking around of the different cars, engines and of course your flag collection. Thanks Nick & George!
Hey Nick and George, just getting in from Grandson's Baseball tryouts for school !!! Love seeing whats all waiting for Nick's Magic to be worked on them . The Ford 390 sure looks good ...back as a teenager i put a ol 390 through the paces and that thing ran and stayed together !!!! Doing better with this flu ...but i got my butt up and moving to watch Grandson .. God Bless ...
Trick to help remove old stuck gaskets is a heat gun. 😃😎 Exhaust gaskets , cut the bottom of the holes out so they slip down over the bolts.
listen to Nick ''no glue on gaskets '' when the motor heats up it will bake the gasket on to the motor . i use paper gaskets on Headers sometimes double
Can't wait to see that slant 6 on the dyno.....that will be something else......Had a Valient Brougham with a slant 6 so lots of memories.....I know it was a mama's car, but it was the car I learnt how to drive on.
Nick I use a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder with a wire wheel that screws on to the grinders threads. The wire wheel isn't too hard to damage the gasket surface but it is aggressive enough to remove the toughest gaskets. Saves time when working on engine parts. I use 3M fast tack trim adhesive to hold the gaskets to the parts. I've never had problems with cork gaskets doing that either. You know cork gaskets and silicone gasket maker doesn't work so well.
We used the little metal tab to block the heat passage, Nunzi had them for the Pontiacs. You used to be able to get a manual choke kit from the auto parts stores. I used a manual choke when I ran an AFB carb and then a Holley which had the linkage kit too.
Not many shops get the jobs done like yours. So many sit on the jobs putting others in front. Great crew you have also.
Thank you.
I am looking forward to the George's 6cyl.all done and on the DYNO!!!!!!
The best Candy shop for Mopars. Thanks Nick, another great video.
Thank you Nick for explaining everything so well. Because I am Totally Blind now, I live Vicariously through People Like you. I used to Be A Mechanic, And My Hobby was Rebuilding Classic Cars. Thanks for what you and Your Team do. The Dyno Room is Truely a Rush. Phillip Daigle. South Louisiana. United States.
Thank you for your kind comment.
I had a 68 Nogo two door with a 230/powerslide. Delivered pizzas for a few years with it. Solid car. It was definitely No Go.
You've got quite a few elephants in room
Hi Nick, George and crew. After seeing George’s 230 six cylinder again, I am waiting patiently to see all the work and fun with it. Thanks for all the entertaining and educational videos. 😊
When it comes to gaskets, what I learned to do (100's of trial and error) was to "glue" the gasket to the part that would be removed, then I used grease on the side that contacted the block. And YES! "glue" means enough to hold the gasket in place while you are assembling the engine. NOT ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THE CONNECTION PERMANENT!
Yes, that is correct. Thank you.
That video satisfied my sweet tooth. Nice engines and cars! Beautiful colourful shop. Thanks Nick and George.
So much to look forward to in the coming months. Thanks for bringing us along!
You bet! Thanks for joining us for the trip.
I agree 100% the gaskets make the seal!
Looking forward to the 6 bang build
Nick, you have the program to be seen period!
I know your feeling on gluing gaskets. I repaired small engines for years and they are some of the worst to give up the gaskets. Most of those engines were aluminum so cleaning them is the worst... correct torque on the fastners and clean gasket surfaces will get you there... good video
Nick you and me both the more snow the worse i want green grass and sunshine but at least the inside of your garage would be summer time to me everyday just looking at all that muscle and the paint jobs on the cars makes my smile i was born in 1961 so i have seen or rode in most of these cars when they were new takes me back to a happier time i canstill remember being slammed back into the seat from one of those big mopar engines 440 426 wedge i know where a old 390 himi is still setting in a old car I did know they actually made one a 391 maybe but it's a hemi
Nice. Another Master Class by Nick! I hope future mechanics get to see and learn from Nick.
A lot of money is invested in the details. Nice work as always !
As always Nick your videos are so valuable to 10s of thousands of, people I just want to ask you have you ever decided to make your own Chilton's book on Chrysler, engines? I'm sure that it is better for the average person with your knowledge to read and understand. Your knowledge is second to none through the years are invaluable. Always a heartfelt thanks you put a lot of smiles on people's faces when they step on, the gas.❤
Need to make time. Great idea. Thanks.
THANKS NICK AND GEORGE DOES A GREAT FLYING THE DRONE IN YOUR SHOP.....
Old F-4 Phantom Shoe🇺🇸
Thanks Shoe! But I would never trust myself to fly a drone near these machines. Those shots are achieved with a 360 camera on a long pole. 👍
Dr. Nick, you are very lucky to see a Hemi everyday at your shop, I think that I counted 5? that are in the shop right now, would like to see more of the 1968 Hemi GTX, cheers.
Hey Nicks Garage. Enjoy the videos.
Why not get a vat of 3M adhesive remover or something to dip stubborn parts into and have them sit in it
Whoo Hoo Nicholas! Looking forward the 426 builds. Some similar internals on both. Lets see what the difference in bore & stroke brings. Thunder Road!! Kocan
A Wonderful Tour!! Thanks Nick and George. Truly a Candy Shop.
Our pleasure!
Lots of interesting things to come. I can hardly wait. Chevy six is also interesting.
Can't wait!
The good old days eh, Nick?
Hey George "Yakety Sax"- Theme from the "Benny Hill Show".
Thanks George well done as usual. This could easily be on Discovery or Motor Trend maybe CARS on Pluto TV. Once again I really appreciate all of your hard work to bring us this great Muscle Car Content. IT will be neat to see your engine rebuilt and put on the dyno. Thanks again guys! God Bless Be Safe
Hands down best most knowledgeable MOPAR master on youtube!
Nick - ya gotta stop holding back on your feelings about too much glue on gaskets. I'm a Mopar guy, but I am looking forward to your Chevy 6 cylinder engine rebuild - should be fun !!
I sometimes used copper coat to improve seal on metallic gaskets and especially on exhaust. But it doesn't stick hard and cause problems on disassembly.
Nick and George nice work on this video...As usual...Thanks.
It would be nice if you guys could do a short video on the measurements and work done at the machine shop...Like the visits you've done at the body shops.
I suspect that a lot of your viewers do not know and/or appreciate all the work being done there.
There's probably other videos available but I think it would be a nice addition to your good work.
Any updates on Stephane's Charger ?
Thanks again to you both.
Mr Nick, I really need to come and visit your garage one day, this will be on my bucket list...I like muscle care candy!!
Please do!
What a fantastic channel, Nick is like a Bank Vault full of KNOWLEDGE!! Thanks for Sharing!!
Very kind. Thanks.
Hi Nick,
I just got my copy of Vanishing Point Forever. It is fantastic and funny that it feels like I'm looking at your car on all these pages!
Thank you so much for sharing this book on your channel.
Cheers🍻🍻

Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you! I can’t wait!
I was gonna say I'd love to see George's engine vid. And on the dyno, hell yeah!!! You made the right decision keeping the six George. Definitely.
I never get tired of seeing all the engines that Nick gets in the shop. 😊 Each one has its own story to tell which makes watching the videos even more interesting. One question. When you get an engine in for a rebuild and tear it down to the bare block, do you send it out to be hot dipped before it goes to the machine shop, clean it in house, or does the machine shop take it dirty and clean it there before any machining? Nice work George!
Both. In and out of the shop.
Hi Nick, you have to convince George that what he needs in his Chevy is a 409 and a four speed.😊
Hey Nick, 😎👍 Looks like you have lots to do in 2024 my friend. Job security doesn’t seem to be something you will ever have to worry about. Thank you for sharing Sir.🤠✌️☮️🖤🌅🕊🦋🕊🇺🇸🇨🇦
Fingers crossed!
Lots of good stuff to see being finished... great content and thanks
Thanks for watching!
Nick , cant wait to see that 56 Hemi run ...talk about a blast from the past !!! Nick , need to write those books up with your knowledge and tips....You have so much knowledge on those Mopars...build book , head book , 6 pack book, etc ....Would be great !!! Hope yall are doing well ...
Hope you are feeling better Sarge?
@@NicksGarageThank-you for asking !!! I'm starting to do better ,having a rough time with it ...but seem to getting better today ...Best Regards to you all !!!
You are seriously incredible! Brilliant.
Also carb guys rule!
Nick and I agree on the feelings towards winter!!!
I'm excited for George!
Nick, forget about those cork gaskets. Use the reusable Moroso or the other brands of perimeter gaskets.
Rubber? on both sides of a steel shim liner. They do NOT leak. As long as the covers are not warped. They might even make them for oil pans as well.
I do use them in some cases.
@nickpanaritis4122 I would use them in all cases. I've had too many cork gaskets come back on me. Either having to be torqued again or harden up and leaking.
I've also seen too many of those exhaust manifold gaskets that you use blow out. Perhaps not right away, but in time. That's why I use the reusable aluminum or copper header gaskets. Yes, they can be a pain to cut out the bridge like you do. But again, no leaks and no come backs are a good thing. )
Lots of really cool stuff!!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Nick I have a OE low miles 68 dodge polara 440 magnum complete out of a California Highway Patrol car my dad had a auto dismantling business and we had 4 of the cars the engine and transmission I got was a wrecked car ran great only had 65 thousand miles saved the engine and transmission for a project going to rebuild it all and put it in a 72 dodge D300 for a fun truck
Thanks for the content. Keep the tips and tricks coming. Cranial know-how.
You got it!
I love these ‘show and tell’ videos from Nick’s garage: seeing all the stuff he has to work on, he’ll NEVER get bored, lol!!!! And it’s nice to see the variety of engines and cars. George, that six is gonna purr like a kitten (maybe a SMALL bit of roar thrown in, eh?) 😅😅 Nah, I know as long as it runs great, you’ll be a happy camper, or should I say, CRUISER. 😊 Great week, all!!!!
Glad you like them!
Nick thank you for that enlightening video of where things are at in the Garage currently. I here your pain with those that use so much gasket goo and sometimes in the wrong places NOT GOOD! Can't wait to see the tear down & rebuild of George's straight six Chev either. Thanks for this beaut wee video George.
Awesome show that is really a candy store on the gaskets that and glued on would it help to use a hair dryer to warm it up keep them coming and see you Monday
Nick needs a good hot high pressure washer. They usually will clean the gaskets and goop right off.
Looking forward to seeing Georges engine rebuilt and on the dyno!
Nick, Thanks for the tour AND the "tips"! George, your handy work is second to NONE! Have a GREAT week guys!
Thanks Douglas. You too.
Can't wait
Awesome video, Nick. George, I'm not a Chevy guy but I love all old school cars and engines. They're nostalgic!
Yes they are!
I was hoping you would do a before and after on that killer 6 . Go from sick 6 to killer 6 . Will be fun. I can’t wait for the 340 to! Going from smog motor in 72 to 69 power. I’m going to be happy to see this! I had a 72 ,340 duster. Will be fun to see the hp different.
Clean the casket with an electric drill with a plastic brush wheel 👍🏻🇦🇺.
Thanks for the tip!
Ohhhhhhh MY... I'm bracing myself for the embarrassment that will be felt when i remove the valve covers and have to deal with ALL THE CRAP used to hold the gaskets in place.. thanks for the lesson, Nick . This isnt gonna be easy
I've never used the paper gaskets on any big block Chrysler I've worked on, probably about 45
6 Inline love dat low pwr...always have new tires! Love ya my friend! Lol😂
If you got paid overtime to plow snow, then you'll learn to like it.)
Love it Nick!!!!!
Nick, could you do a video on winter/ long term storage of our hot rods ?
Thanks for the suggestion. Good idea.
Howdy Nick it is 80 degrees in Daytona Beach Florida .i am sorry about the Lions loss
Maybe next year. Go Lions Go.
Great content thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
sadly nick
the reason that 90% of your engine work
is because of sub par prior engine work
long live nick
cheers
🎉🎉🎉. OK NICK 👍👍👍🙌⭐👌
👍
I hate the snow too. Nick
Spring is coming !

Bon Jour/Good Day eh. It would be nice to see a old tower of power Dodge six cylinder on the dyno.
We would like to see that too.
One Day
Evenin Mr George an Mr Nick! Have a great week!!
Same to you Pappy! Have a great one.
i wish i lived in Canada i would be in your shop helping you scrap off the gaskets and you pass your knowledge on to me
Come on in.
@nickpanaritis4122 but I live in Bakersfield California
@@joseortega1114 ...All good.
Wondering if George will have Nick modify his engine to add some horsepower and torque to increase drive-ability, more smiles per miles. Porting the head plus a bit more aggressive cam.
Dana "60" Glass. Another great show for the books. Can't wait for the tear down on George's 230 straight 6. Are you going throught the Saginaw 3 speed?
Thanks Dana. We're hoping to take the 6 apart this week. Then we will be able to make a plan for what is next.
@@NicksGarage Very cool
Mine were rubber on my 68 383 valve covers
Big hello from Milton flag Mike
Hello Mike.
hello Dr. nick, hi George.
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by again, Eric.
Nick my passion is Holden 202 inline 6 like the Chey 6 in your work shop , guess what they have main seal Problem . There are group channels dedicated to that motor . We only have 27 million down there and in warm . Melbourne has the biggest Greek population out side Athens, maybe your parents got on the wrong boat .
Kit from down under
Yes, many boats went to Australia, USA, and Canada. But I am stuck here in the cold.
I had the same problem Nick on a 383 1969 Road runner, Turned out to be the Crankshaft pilot bearing. No could pump the clutch pedal to change the vibration. Hope this helps. Bob
Hey Nick try an air powered gasket scraper it works very well on cast iron
The way it's going, I agree.
I was Born in Minneapolis 62 years ago today, and i too fo not like Snow. Shop looks like the Gym, All Muscle !
Happy birthday.
@@NicksGarage thanks 😊 👍
Hey Nick. If I send you my Gen3 6.4 392 BGE to get stroked to 440, I'll make sure to put EXTRA glue on all the gaskets for you. 😂😂😏😏🥰🥰
You've got to love those straight 6's. How's The HEMI that was all loose in box's. All brand New.?
Their it is At 19minutes. Can't wait to Hear it on the Dyno. Explain the Hemi Trans and others and what makes them different.?
Yasoo palikari from sunny Adelaide Australia
Yasoo Steve.
I just want to see George's straight 6 on the Dyno. 175hp maybe
Old Gasket removal ;Use a heat gun
Some smart engineer needs to design a 8 speed automatic transmission { like the new Rams have } in a 727 case , imagine the perfomance gain !
That would be great.
👍👍👍👍👍
Watching with Covid, day 16
So sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting us help you pass the time. Hope you are back to 100% very soon.
