Absolutely love your video I've been learning how to work in a machine shop a little bit and doing some here and their stuff myself by mailing heads on a end Mill and I thought it was really informative on your flat head build stuff seeing how I love working on this old engines myself I'm currently working on an old 1954 Ford 8N modifying the cylinder head a little bit polishing it at least and relieve cutting the valves done shot them for a little bit more oops in the bottom end along with shaving 40 tho off
Informative, and very enjoyable video ! I am currently building a 265 inch flatty, for a "gasser" style 46 bus' coupe. In regards to valve guides, I designed my own, and have had my machine shop CNC machine them. They eliminate the 90 deg "pocket" that violently disrupts high speed flow. Each one is individually fit / massaged to the their respective bowl. About 3 hours per port ( all 16 ). Engine will be on the dyno later this year.
I truly enjoyed this video, it was so easy to follow, and the machine processes were almost mesmerizing! I think it is some your best work to date! And I LOVE the title picture! Makes me want to go to the back. Stop it!
Never seen this procces before, but it's good to see how it's done; btw, you'd scared me when you said "the angle of the dangle", you know that "my english isn't perfect" but man... that'd scared me. Have a good week Elaine and you.
Beautiful work! Exactly what I was hoping to see. You are an inspiration for all of us to pay attention to the details and take pride in our work 👍 These videos should be getting way more views, very entertaining and informative! God bless, have a great week! ✌
The porting looks excellent! I like the wam bam thank you mam way of knurling, made me alittle nervous, looked like you where getting alittle close to the chuck, must have been the camera angle 😎 Speaking of doing things one handed while holding the camera, do you know any Camera women that could help you out 🤔 Congratulations on breaking 1K 👍
Thanks for showing this Danny. The way you explain this, it is easy to understand. Showing it helped tremendously. Knurling is an eye opener. Knurled thumbnail must’ve hurt like a mutha. Jimmy cracked corn for chickens. My neighbors are actual piggies. Squeal like a pig and the “holler” echoes. Hi ShopMom Elaine.
Great video yet again. Did I hear you correctly when you mentioned ALL guides get the knurling treatment prior to install, or do you only do this if they're a poor fit within their individual ports? Thanks in advance.
@@MrDanielSoliz I asked because I've just started work on a 51 2R10 with the flat head. Tonight, I was going to take a look at any room for improvements in this area. Your video got me to thinking something similar MIGHT be possible. Thank you for the reply.
Hey Danny, Nice video well lit I could really see what was going on. Question the knurling functional cosmetic or both? Thanks for doing these have a good one👍
@@MrDanielSoliz thanks Danny I figured functional And not cosmetic is obviously you can’t see it bad choice of words what I should’ve asked was does the knurling help the actual function of the valve guide or the installation of the valve?

Very interesting video..your attention to detail is second to none!

Love that!
Thanks Danny! It's the little attention to detail that makes all the difference.
Yes it does! thanks ...I just saw your broken bolt video. sweet!
Wow that was amazing, great work the scribe and angles. Very straight forDward approach.

Good morning all flatheads out there
Good morning 😃

Glad you enjoyed it!
The next video will be the shims.
yet another great video brother.
this is good stuff man

Yes I hand fit every guide.
Thanks Danny! :)
I like what you did
What do you know about the Studebaker flathead 6 (Champion 6)?
Haven’t done a complete build on one I am building a 1963 v8 Studebaker right now.

It’s functional, makes for a better valve job.
@@MrDanielSoliz thanks Danny I figured functional And not cosmetic is obviously you can’t see it bad choice of words what I should’ve asked was does the knurling help the actual function of the valve guide or the installation of the valve?
When you cut the valve seats do you zero off the guide or guide bore?
We go off the guides, if all we are doing is a valve job then we go off the guide bore.
I would like to see a how to use a lathe video.
Love the video, but what happened to your thumb?
lots of hammer misses and grinders and a saw one time.
@@MrDanielSoliz Gotcha, I thought it might have been a more recent incident. Please keep the knowledge coming.
🙏
KNURLING WORKS GOOD ON FLATTY GUIDES BECAUSE YOU DON'T DON'T HAVE ALL THE DIFFERENT VALVE TRAIN ANGLES A OVERHEAD ENGINE HAS.
