Will it Sleeve? 1937 Chevy Cylinder Repaired at Strong's Garage! Plus: Ghosts of Collisions Past...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Hey guys! Very happy to present this week's long-awaited cylinder sleeve repair to the 1937 Chevrolet Town Sedan... Matt & Jim at Strong's Garage have the tool that was used to do these repairs back in the day, and we're going to redo the badly corroded cylinder and save the original 216 engine in this lovely old Chevy! We're joined by Agents 8771 and 0842 and Al and Lionel and beautiful Bella the poodle to make Frankers' day!
Also: figuring out "what happened" with old collision repairs can be a bear, and we're going get things started with just such a situation on Laura's rover 3-litre...
Thank you to everyone who ordered a 1960 Fury T-shirt, our best-selling shirt ever! Thanks for your patience; we sold a lot of them and it took a couple extra days to get them all printed. I am very happy to report that they are being mailed out now... I am looking forward to getting mine, for sure!

Amazing technology back in the day! My first job in the auto parts industry I worked with a gentleman who used to do the same thing with the block still in the car. He also used to make pistons from a standard slug! Crazy stuff!
Two summers ago, I "Sleeved" an ancient sewer line in
the 1835 Brick where I reside, but that was NOTHING
compared to your efforts. I am speechless.
Unlike yours, my effort had STINK to it, though.
A Great Effort, you guys, and I am truly impressed!
That Chev better run Smoooooooth!
Band Good, BTW...

(Sorry I said "effort" three times. One beer too many.)
Maybe editing the video title to reflect it's one and only "in situ resleeve" video on the whole of youtube status will bring more traffic to the channel and translate to more subscribers.
What an incredible machine. Can't wait to hear her purr again.
Hey Ron! Glad you enjoyed this one... All the best from me and the Menace!
I have spent my whole life working with hand tools. Im licenced in 3 trades , so im not a handyman but everytime I watch scott bash and tap on a fender it just amazes me how he knows just where to hit and how hard to do so. He is a true craftsman and I love watching these videos of making something beautiful out of junk. So cool. Had to come back and mention your buddies Scott. You are so fortunate to have such a tight group of friends. Its fun to watch and listen...reminds me of my working days. Thx guys.😀
It never ceases to amaze me.
That time he made a whole fender for the Fury. Whoa.
Thanks Elmer! I am very lucky to have such great friends... Cheers!
I’m surprised you didn’t use a less a leather sand bag on that repair also
@@Beauloqs lol ,you have no clue
I love Jim’s humor: “set it, and forget it. Ronco.”
Jim is such a treat. " Why wait? You can be unhappy today! ". And the "shop supplies" banter. Nice to see your old boss again. Such a great episode Scott! Hi Frankers!
Yeah! Hoping to get back to Al's for a couple of upcoming surprise projects!
Scott is a sheetmetal sculptor, a true artist. This was the most "boring" Coldwarmotors episode I've ever seen...
The bit at Strong's reminds me of a conversation I had years ago. While I was pop riveting something a friend said "This is riveting... I can't look away." I picked up my drill and told him he had good timing, because just before that it was boring. This feels so much better than the JB Weld fix; this car deserved the real repair.
Yeah, this car is too nice, and I didn't want an asterisk beside the engine if I ever decided to sell it. It should be good as new now... Cheers!
@@coldwarmotors This was ultimate video Scott
saving a ton of time and some cash and doing everything in frame
was cool to watch
the boring bar is Golden Treasure
1 minute ago and 37 likes. This channel should be at 100K. Thumbs up for CWM. 👍💯
Dear RumRunner
👍👌👏 100.000 at the very least! I already often wondered why there are not even 60.000 subs. Definitely totally underrated.
Best regards luck and health.
Hey thanks guys! We'll keep at it if anyone wants to watch...Cheers!
My father was a mechanic for International Harvester. As Cummings pushed more power out of their motors, they started having failures at the top of the wet sleeves. The cure was to increase the depth of the thicker band of metal at the top of the sleeve. This required machining of the block at the top of the cylinder. Cummings sold a lathe that bolted to the block to machine each hole with the block still in the truck. Dad bought one of the lathes and back in the 80's, he was charging $100 a hole. Clearly they were using established technology.
Great channel!
Thanks for the note, Ed! Glad you enjoyed it... All the best from here!
Really cool to see this done. Thanks guys!
Hey thanks for checking it out! Fun to see the old tools still working and saving the old engines... All the very best as always from everyone here!
Ah yes, the ghosts of collisions past have kept many a bodyman awake at night! It's nice to see that Strong's Garage will service what they sell, the dealership I got my last truck from refuses to honour their 5 year rust guarantee.
Ha! I figured you'd know better than anyone about the ghosts of collisions past! Yeah, that sketchy place will hopefully disappear soon! Cheers buddy!
Once again this show proves why it’s the best car channel on RUclips. Everyone just throws new parts at the cars they work on. You guys actually rebuild things and we get so see cool old tools and machines at work too. Great job on that cylinder repair guys. Cheers 🍻
It was sweet of Frankers to console Matt when he had to sit down from the pain. That boring machine is incredible!
I´ve been waitin for that 37 engine repair.... to see it moving again
I cannot believe all the shavings from boring that 1 cylinder. Amazing. I really wanted to test the JB Weld repair, but now I am so glad that it was done the right way. Can’t wait for more 37 Chevy chapters.
Great to see these contraptions used , best collaboration of the year for me. Thanks again.
Hey thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed this one...Cheers!
Today's video exceeds my expectations! Cheers to Matt and Jim for their expertise and cool shop and tools. Very best wishes to Matt for a speedy recovery! Can't wait for the reassembly and test vids!!
Thanks Jeff! Yeah, Matt was fresh from the doctor when we arrived... and hardly slowed down at all... All the best from here!
I seriously doubt anything similar to this episode has ever been produced on video before. Showing the antique machinery in operation and following the job all the way to completion was simply golden.
Hey thanks! Glad you liked it...Cheers!
Jim is so witty and funny.
I really enjoyed this video. I have never seen a block bored in the car like that and I have been a mechanic for 45 years. You and all your friends joke and have fun at every job. Enjoyed the livestream yesterday. Your channel is priceless to me. You'll never know how much this channel has become an important part of my life. Thanks Scott for taking us along on your automotive journey.
Your opinion is shared here!
Hey, thanks so much for the kind words and for watching the show! I am very lucky to have such a terrific group of fellas to hang around and have some laughs with! All the best from me and Frankers and the Agents...
Scott, I also have taken a lot of joy from watching your channel ever since covid hit. In the early 50's I had true friends when we lived on a Pa farm. Howdy Doody, Buffalo Bob, and Clarabelle all lived in a small wooden tv box over at a bedridden
friends house, They were all close friends when I was 9 yers old! I feel the same way keeping track of what Scott and his buddies are up to!
I cant get enough too.
I thought it was impressive myselfI wasn't mechanic for 40 years I never saw it either And I own a lot of old tools
Once more I get to enjoy cheap bourbon and CWM on a Saturday evening. Life is good!
Cheers Bill! Thanks for checking it out!
@@coldwarmotors I make it a point. I watch CWM more often than some people think I bathe, lol.
Scott--you are just having too much fun! 😆 Thanks for letting us be there with you!
"You got an open rafter?"
"Oh yeah, we have enough for everyone"
That's the spirit.
I hadn't ever seen how a cylinder was bored, and a sleeve installed, thanks for showing the process. It looked like it turned out great.
Congrats to Jim and everyone on a successful outing with the Storm! Can't wait for the new rings to wear in...
Nothing like the best tools. So happy the matching numbers engine was treated right
Hey thanks; glad you agree it was worth saving! Cheers...
What a show. The Sleeving process was very interesting to watch and very happy to see it live.
I’m always impressed with Scott’s videos and add in Matt & Jim and it doesn’t get any better. Gentlemen you are true craftsmen.
It's a privilege for us shade tree mechanics, to watch you guys do such good work on that old equipment, that's when they built cars. Thank you.
Here is the requested and extremely well deserved 👍 thumbs up for Matt and Jim respectively Strong's Garage. You guys rock!
While the JB weld repair was entertaining, the car definitely deserved having the original engine resleeved. However, resleeving the original engine without taking it out of the car was a wonderful symphony of skills to witness. Bravo.
Hey glad you enjoyed it! I would have liked to see the JB repair run, but it would have meant assembling and tearing down the engine twice, so this was the right decision.. Cheers!
What an awesome machine. Can't wait to see the old Chevy completed.
Thanks! It'll be very rewarding to drive, knowing we saved the original, first-year 216... Cheers!
Sunday Church in Aussie land ...best show ever.
I loved this episode. That old equipment (made in USA) was amazing to see and great that it is still in action doing what it was designed for. Also, what a fantastic bunch of friends too, - in a dream garage, making the old time magic happen 👍
Truly amazing. Not to lose sight of the great body work at the beginning of this episode, but the bore out and cylinder sleeve installation using vintage tools was over the top. The 100k subscriber celebration is coming soon. Better get that razor honed as well Scott.
I tell ya guys, it's a real treat every week to watch you guys fix stuff. I look forward to every Saturday! Thanks!
Thanks Dennis! Cheers from here...
Awesome to see old school tools being used..... not like present day just remove and replace the whole engine. Jim and Matt are cool
That was amazing. I have never seen this boring tool before, and the sleeve replacement was something to see. When I was a kid many years ago the Oldtimers would talk about it, but I never seen it before. Great video, Matt and Jim are doing God's work. Very few places and people are doing this kind of work and saving these old engines.
"Nothing worse than old repairs." - proceeds to make it like new! Love watching your work, guys!
What Scott can do with some crumpled sheet metal and a couple of sledge hammers is nothing short of amazing!
The sleeve job was fantastic to watch.
Hey glad you enjoyed it... Cheers!
That boring machine is amazing and so cool the original 6 is saved in this sweet Chevy.
Great episode and thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed this one... A pretty great day! Cheers...
@@coldwarmotors I have to hit up Matt for a T windshield and stop by Strong’s Garage
When I saw Matt on crutches over on Strong's Garage I commented, OH NO! I thought it would have pushed back the 37' sleeve job; and here he is helping put the finishing touches on the hone - what a guy!
Nice to see the Chevy getting fixed.
Can't wait until you put it back together.
The "old way" of doing this jod is quite impressive! Nor a thing wrong with the tools. Just considered slow.
While waiting between bores,visiting with friends shortens the time.
Good friends,good times and the work gets/got done!
I want to hang out in Strongs Garage. What a great collection of cars.
What a great video! I've been in the car repair and rebuilding circus 45 years and counting and have always heard of in chassis cylinder boring machines but have never seen one. What a great treat to see one in action! Can't wait to see it going back together. Thanks!
You can do it with a standard KwiK-Way boring bar too since this is a straight six with the cylinders vertical. Plenty of space to mount it on the block. Just have to be careful where the chips go no matter what machine you use. Protect the crank and surrounding cylinders. V engines have to come out to bore. They made crank grinding equipment to recondition rod journals in the car too during that era.
Hey Ted! Glad you enjoyed this one... I was 100% happy with how well it worked out... Cheers from me and Frankers...
Great work on the shop trip. Matt took care of you. Also the perfection on your body work. Will make that car perfect. Thanks for sharing!
I just watched my Carolina Gamecocks win the rivalry game and nowget to enjoy the best show of the day and beer.
What an amazing place Strong's is. Truly like walking back in time in all the best ways imaginable. This was a wonderful episode, well done again - as always
👍👌👏 1.57 min. = the poodle inspectress is inspecting/watching your work really painstakingly. 😁 ;-)
This might have been the most interesting episode of CWM you've ever published. There's something about standing around a car, drinking beer, and watching your friends work that is one of the best things in life, and you managed to let us do it via the web! Well done! PS I started watching CWM when you were doing the bodywork on the model T pickup...I'd never seen traditional bodywork done and watching how you moved the metal on your repairs was oddly fascinating. I'm enjoying all the metalwork you're doing. All that to say your channel has become the highlight of this old hippie's week. Cheers!
Dear Guiseppe's Bass
👍👌👏 Very well said, Sir, very well indeed. Of course I totally agree!
Best regards, luck and health.
Hey thanks very much... Glad you enjoyed this one like I did! Cheers...
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 and to you and yours.
That's when I found them too.Don't even remember how long ago,but I've loved all the wrenching,tapping and spraying until they've recreated another rolling beauty.Even the 1st starts and will it just draw me right in.Heck,maybe he'll cast a rod out of the cylinder shavings?
@@mysterj1
👍 Thanks. Have a nice Sunday.
Sincerely yours.
Never get tired of watching Scott knock and bump sheet metal! Your instinct and talent never cease to amaze me. Beautiful save on the Chevrolet cylinder! Such a incredible machine. Glad it came out spot on! You’ve got a great knit of friends who can help!
....??? ..... YOU ARE instinct ... ??? what does this mean ?? or maybe you don't know English ?? use the correct word next time - so you don't look like a fool......
@@urbanurchin5930 well excuse my ignorance. I’ve corrected my comment and I hope you have a great day!
This was excellent. I thought it was going to be boring but it actually turned out to be quite interesting. :-)
I've worked in a machine shop for 28 years and can appreciate this boring machine. The forgotten art. Very nice. Can't wait to see it all back together. Cheers from Michigan 👍
That process of inserting the cylinder sleeve and honing the bore was amazing! Scott your sheet metal work blows me away. That skill in my opinion is a lost art.
That's crazy! You guys are next level cool.
Great video Scott, as always...
Hey thanks Keith! It worked so nicely I'd do one again for sure... Cheers buddy!
It's so cool to see guys using the old tech stuff, with the same results, and being able to leave the block in the car...fun to watch.
Thanks Frank! Glad you enjoyed it like I did... All the best from here!
Always good videos thanks guys
that was great to watch, old tech tools and patience, enjoyed the banter and just the great humor you guys have whilst getting serious with one to two thou of an inch, can see that Matt and Jim really know their stuff. and 'when you know you are the only ones in the world doing this today' LoL, good call Scott, looking forward to next part.
Thanks Daniel... Glad you enjoyed it!
...the right tool for the job in the right hands to do the job......good stuff, Scott!......
It was a pleasure to watch the peanut gallery at work. It's great to see the old repair tools in action. Thank you for the sharing the adventure. Cheers!
Hi Heather! Glad you enjoyed this one like we did putting it together... I couldn't be happier with the results... Cheers!
Great content on both counts: the Rover and the ‘37 Chevrolet. Impressive workmanship on both. Merci.
I really enjoyed getting to see the process of the in frame boring. Good to know the right people to have all the cool old school toys.
A fine day at Strong's Garage.
Wow. That was interesting never seen anything like that in my life. Thanks for sharing. Glad the band is still at it. But the dancing girls disappeared. Great Show !!
My Gosh , WOW !!!!!
Never saw that process before 🤯
That was absolutely 💯 Phenomenal !!!!! 🤩🙆♂️ The ultimate , in old school machining 🔧🪛🔩⚙
Massive shout out to @strongsgarage
Well done gentlemen 🚹
Jim & Matt saved that original block
Yeah! I hope everyone subscribes to Strong's Garage... They are always up to something interesting... Cheers!
When ever we had a bore sleeved, we left a step at the bottom to keep the sleeve from working out the lower end while running. That way the repair sleeve is locked in between the step and cylinder head. On larger bores this is a must as the sleeve can shrink enough during cool down to become loose enough to move a bit, then the rings will catch the gap and out the bottom it goes! Had it happen on an early Oil Pull tractor, sleeve was destroyed and the connecting rod bent! On some of those unusual engines we would have to install the sleeve from the bottom as the upper bore has a recessed combustion chamber in it. Then I had the shop install a few recessed/ welded pins on the lower end skirt to keep it in place.
That 'in situ' cylinder boring machine is the most amazing contraption. I haven't got to the 'installing a new liner' part yet, but it's incredible that it can be done without removing the engine from the car and stripping the block right down.
Quite a contraption, and they got it working beautifully .
I'd place a bet that after seeing this cylinder boring machine that at least 10 guys are looking for one for themselves.
In situ? Ever read "The Grapes of Wrath"? How about renewing main bearings on the side of the road?
A little something I learned along the way, when you have good friends it always goes better.
Here is an example of just that.
Hats off to all! Well done guys.
Nice to see the 37 coming along nicely. Cheers!
C'Mon 60K for the best channel on RUclips! Great episode as always, stoked that the new shirt is on its way. Cheers y'all, till next time.
Hey thanks! Yeah, shirts are on the way... Thanks for ordering one! Cheers from me and Frankers...
@@coldwarmotors
Brother, Like a lot of folks, I can't do much for ya not being a Patreon, but I'll support the work you do for and on your channel everywhere I can, CWM is a no shit reason for the Internet to exist for a whole lot of us that share your passion for loving and working on old cars, the nostalgia, and keeping an attitude of the joie de vive of a whole slice of society around the world that a lot of folks just don't understand, value or even know exists. So, in y'all's honor, I'll go catch a buzz and work on my CB750F's carburetors, which desperately need a rebuild! Cheers as always from Virginia USA!
CWM and Strong’s Garage in a cross-over episode …must be sweeps week! Another enjoyable hour - cheers to you, Frankers and the Agents, Scott!
Very cool episode! Jim, Matt and Ash are the best.
All I can say is that was awesome and a bit nerve wracking, had me on the edge of my seat! She's going to be a beauty on the road next summer. Cheers from the Shed.
Cheers Randahl! There was a bit of suspense pulling the sleeve in, but the rest went very smoothly... All the best as always from here!
More Rover Magic. Plus great engine repair using vintage tools, without pulling the engine such expertise. Speaking of Dairy Farmers we use liquid nitrogen at work to install major bushings, put the mandrel with the bushing in the liquid nitrogen till the bubbling stops. Then the bushing basically slides right in place. Great Show as is the norm.
Cheers.
"you don't have to wait months for a shop to do it and it didn't work, here you get to find out "Now" that it didn't work"...truly spoken by a humble mechanic!
You know its a good working machine that was built with care and that will last forever (if you treat it right) when you see enamel paint with gold leaf lettering and handpainted pinstriping on it... It doesn't matter if it's a sewing machine or a ten ton mill...
Just keeps on getting better every enjoyable video scott strongs garage matt and Jim top guys cheers from the UK 🇬🇧
Gents, this is FINE, OLD-FASHIONED SHOP WORK !!! Without your collective care and love for these old girls...all of it would ho to the crusher and get turned into metal for toasters and yard shocels!shovels!! THANK YOU!!!
Scott is the best brother ever.
Hope Laura loves her Rover for many decades..
🚬🐕
Another great lesson in automobile repairs from the top team - both at CWM and Strong's Garage. My Dad was an apprentice in a garage at Stoke on Trent in the early 1930s and I have a three-volume book on 'Modern Motor Cars' from back then that was his. Thanks to all of you for this insight into the world he would have known. Educational videos from CWM and Strong's are brilliant!
Thank you Stephen; very kind of you to say! Glad you enjoyed this one like we did...Cheers!
Thank you! One of your best episodes! What a great tool!
What a great video, a bunch of good friends getting together to save the 37's engine, and doing a beautiful job.
Thanks Douglas... Glad you enjoyed it!
That was so nice seeing that job done with the old tooling. Thanks for sharing Scott.
Thanks Glen! Glad you enjoyed it like I did!
The sleeving process was very interesting. Really appreciate the close up shots so we could all see what was happening. Cheers from Australia!
Another great episode, good progress made on both cars
How many of today's mechanics even know that this process exists? Fantastic video as always. Thank you as always!!
Thanks very much Dan; glad you enjoyed it!
Scott, the commaradere and spirit between you guys is true, genuine and motivating. Its makes your show/channel the real deal.
The machinery at strongs garage is so freaking fascinating and captivating. Not boring at all. Keep living the car guys dream in Canada. Cheers from Ohio
OH WOW! I'd like to take a minute and geek out about the electric motor powering this device :) that is a repulsion start induction run motor! These were used where high starting torque was required. They started as repulsion motors, but once they were running at a sizable fraction of full speed, the brushes were lifted mechanically and all commutator bars were short-circuited together to create the equivalent of a squirrel-cage induction motor. This is how it was done before capacitor start came to be :) I actually have one of those motors almost identical to that, I'll bring it do you If I ever get the chance to visit!!!
Repulsion start...Yes now that machine is twice as interesting
you can hear the brushes lift when they fire it up, makes a lot different starting noise than a modern cap start lol. I teach electrical and motor controls at a trade school so I tend to get nerdy about old electrical LOL.
Hey that is cool! I was wondering why the motor had a unique sound when starting... Cheers!
Neat old tec. What a treat. 👌
HI Guys ! The right ending on Saturday night, here in Italy it's 00.32 on Sunday 27 November 2022. After a dinner with friends, a pleasant ending with a Coldwarmotors video! 🍻🍻👌👌
Glad to see the old Chevy progressing!
The amazing thing I found was that even at 68 yrs old I never knew that machine existed.
Using the right tools for the job is a great feeling of satisfaction.... I was just pinned to the screen watching the work....I cannot wait to hear that engine purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
thank you for taking us back to old school Praying for all and Jim and Matt
Absolutely fantastic. That machine is really cool. I was looking forward to seeing how it works. Very neat. Stay dirty 👍
This was such a fascinating process to see. Thanks, guys, for showing it!
And another memorable episode to add to the collection. Watching the whole engine boring proces was fascinating, as much as much as all your magical metal shaping. Wondering along the way as my analyzing mind tends to do; I couldn't help but notice all the unique components that make it so. A beautiful shop to do it in, functional heavy metal developed prior our throw-away society to do it with and above all the best of friends to turn the whole proces into a cohesive and fun endeavour. And without any time pressure to get it done. A rare combination these days.
Yay, it's the Francine Show! With her weird friends who make a lot of noise banging on old cars. I love it!
Yeah, that's pretty much it! Cheers from me and the Menace...
@@coldwarmotors right back atcha. The boring and sleeving job and equipment was fascinating.
The trifecta! Old cars, old tools and old guys! What a great episode....... certainly not boring!
What a fun time sleeving that cylinder! Matt and Jim truly are a crack operation.
You see a master move metal and it is amazing. I learn a great deal, not yet ready to do anything complex but seeing Scott work metal is just fascinating. Thank you sir
