Really enjoyed every second of this video. Great to see Davin back in front of the camera. The engine guy was very clear on the what, where and why of each step.
He won’t have much of a future if the EV agenda goes into full force in the next decade. And if governments regulations start enforcing strict policies on internal combustion engines limitations. Well good luck. Government can do what ever they want. People like him will just have to eat it.
As a retired machinist after my 42nd year in the business, why are there no safety glasses? Love the content anyway! Good to see John has safety glasses.
As someone who spent most of my life as a machinist and building my own engines I really enjoyed seeing the types of machines and setups. I recently used two very experienced machine shops to build two engines. Both had years experience but not much with Chrysler engines and when I picked up the cylinder heads they had no clue as to how or why they should get the valve stems the same height. They both said there was no specifications for valve stem height and left them uneven. Seeing how that was achieved made me feel like I knew more than the builder producing Chevy and Ford race engines professionally. The only thing I didn’t see was align boring the mains. Great video and I’d love to see more when performing extra tricks for oil return, pumps and whatever! This will be a lost skill very soon it seems….
Stock bore is 4.32" so 4.375" would be +.055" not +.030". They are at the near limit of what the block can go out to. Benefit of the doubt, I assume they sonic checked it for core shift in the water jackets, but didn't show it on camera.
I really enjoy this channel. It shows the reality of how much work goes into these projects, and the level of expertise and attention to detail required. No neck tattoos, silly diallogue, gratuitous chrome.
Excellent episode. I have 3 of those 440’s out in my garage and one half built already. This and all the previous videos are definitely motivation to get back at it.
Of all the jobs I've had in my life, my time working in an automotive machine shop was a real joy, even though I made less than $2 an hour. I particularly enjoyed fitting wrist pins to rods. I like this young man's approach to his work, especially how he cleans up after each step. Good shop for sure.
Fantastic ! Nice to see a REAL Machine Shop still doing it right resurrecting the classic Engines ! I still use my Storm 85B, Sunnen CK10 and CH100 as well.... Van Norman 777S4.... 10x50 Table Mill for 3D Fast Cut Head and V/Seat work and Turner Balancing.
This engine rebuilding is a true tradesman skill . like a stone carver or a woodwright. There are those that do it, and then there are those that do it right.
Excellent video. Don’t quite follow what he means at 23:05 minutes though. He talks about boring 30 over to 4.375. Factory bore is 4.32. Wouldn’t 30 over be 4.35?
The boyfriends my daughters drag home can’t even drive a straight shift. It restores my faith in the state of manhood these days to see this young machine shop guy who actually has some real knowledge and skills.
Apex does such a nice job with the machining. I’ve had the pleasure of helping another engine builder tune some engines on Apex’s dyno and it was such a fun experience.
I wonder, how many man hours is it to do an average job like this. No cameras, no extra conversation. Just a skilled machinist start to finish? I do wish I'd have paid more attention in machine shop instead of screwing around. Thank you for this!
Relative to other content on Hagerty, these are the most fun to watch. Davin is a master mechanic who finds some great machining shops to film in. The videographer does a fine job too. Looking forward to seeing this 440 rip around a track.
Always a treat watching old iron brought back to life for another period of pavement pounding. 50+ years and when properly machined and assembled with quality parts...they are feared!
I do watch a few of these car shows. Seeing a young machinist is pretty wild. All the car shows have geriatrics! God bless them, but seeing a young person is just cool.
Always loved machine shop work. My apprenticeship instructors reckoned i had an instinct for milling and lathe stuff but earning a living took me down a different path.
So glad to see redline rebuilds back.
Yes! I was beginning to wonder what might have gone wrong.
Yay!!!
Me too brother
@@cinsc556Subaru ptsd. 😂😂
Amen!
Good to see Davin back
Where was he ?
This, in my opinion, is some of Hagerty's BEST content. Super happy to see Redline Rebuilds again !!😃
So good to see a young person so talented and taking great care and pride in their work. Good job Jon!
The satisfaction from watching old parts become better than new it endless. It's so watchable! I love it.
Great to see young guys doing this type of work.
Really enjoyed every second of this video. Great to see Davin back in front of the camera. The engine guy was very clear on the what, where and why of each step.
You're so lucky to have found a young guy who knows his stuff. Around where I live the old timers have retired, or died, and no has replaced them.
I was going to say man. He is a gold mine. Guy has very good knowledge.
Not because young guys aren't interested, but because there's probably very little business in rebuilding engines.
He won’t have much of a future if the EV agenda goes into full force in the next decade. And if governments regulations start enforcing strict policies on internal combustion engines limitations. Well good luck. Government can do what ever they want. People like him will just have to eat it.
...SO nice to see a young man good at his job and proud of his work!!! Jon at Apex: you rock!
Huge amount of skilled work there. Not to be underestimated
This is by far my favorite Hagerty's series. So glad to see it back!
It's so nice seeing a pro do their thing. When one has the correct tools, one can literally move mountains.
fantastic, Davin.
you' re the best👍🏻👍🏻
missed seeing these engine builds!
Thank you Hagerty for this Redline Rebuild episode. Such a wealth of knowledge with Davin, Jon and all involved in this series.
Man,…..I thought Redline Rebuilds was never coming back! Sure am glad I was wrong.
Finally good content on Hagerty🙏 thats why I came here. Looking forward to watch the progress!
I agree, Davin's content is my only reason for watching Hagerty.
As a retired machinist after my 42nd year in the business, why are there no safety glasses? Love the content anyway! Good to see John has safety glasses.
Probably likes to have his eye drilled, it only took me once! Lol
So happy you are working on this car again!!!
Glad to see you back in the shop getting your work done.
The nut pull was poetry in motion. Great job on an iconic muscle car champ. Thanks very much.

This was the best episode of Redline Rebuilds in awhile! Seems like a great machine shop.
This man is a national treasure please continue these forever until I die at a ripe old age
He's BACK!!!! I'm so happy 😊
I really enjoy this channel. It shows the reality of how much work goes into these projects, and the level of expertise and attention to detail required. No neck tattoos, silly diallogue, gratuitous chrome.
Been following Hagerty for years now and each content is just as amazing as the previous ones!
So true, they really are doing car stuff on another level. 🤠🙌
@@CheesusSVT yep! You are absolutely right!
Been sooo long, glad my favorite series is back
Yeeeees!!! Redline rebuilds, great to see, this is what I came here to HAGERTY!!!!
☺Dude, whoever is making the Hagerty videos. Umm we love you. ❤😄
Recline rebuilds is the only content on Hagerty I watch
Excellent example of how skilled professionals make a difference in automotive care.
OMG!! My favourite RUclips show is back! I thought hagerty had ditched it…
A thing of beauty.
Glad to see Davin back at it.
Yesssssss!!! Davin’s back.
Excellent episode. I have 3 of those 440’s out in my garage and one half built already. This and all the previous videos are definitely motivation to get back at it.
This was a fun episode! I could watch automotive machine work all day long. Hagertys has one of the best car channels on here!

Finally we get to see a Redline Rebuilds episode😍
I love to see professionals doing their things. I could not do what you do, but I can appreciate what you do. Thank you.
I Definitely Would Like to Watch The Complete Assembling Video of This Engine in Stop_Motion 😁😁
This engine rebuilding is a true tradesman skill . like a stone carver or a woodwright. There are those that do it, and then there are those that do it right.
I love how the young buck knows all the details. "put those in the freezer so they go in better." He's done this more than once. Love it.
This is like therapy to watch, love every second!
Excellent video. Don’t quite follow what he means at 23:05 minutes though. He talks about boring 30 over to 4.375. Factory bore is 4.32. Wouldn’t 30 over be 4.35?
So satisfying to watch and learn more!
Love that redline rebuilds are back!
Lets go! Redline rebuilds! It’s back!
It's always good to see a Hagerty video featuring Davin!
Also, I'm looking forward to the development of this project.^^
This and Barn Find Hunter are the two best of Hagerty's content .
Good to see you back on, your videos are the best of Hagerty.
I would trust that young man with my machine work needs. Great job!
The boyfriends my daughters drag home can’t even drive a straight shift. It restores my faith in the state of manhood these days to see this young machine shop guy who actually has some real knowledge and skills.
Don't worry, I'm sure they're having fun with your daughters the old fashioned manly way...
Are you still living in the cave and hunt your supper in the woods? No? So, use the benefits of the civilization and shut up!
Apex does such a nice job with the machining. I’ve had the pleasure of helping another engine builder tune some engines on Apex’s dyno and it was such a fun experience.
I wonder, how many man hours is it to do an average job like this. No cameras, no extra conversation. Just a skilled machinist start to finish?
I do wish I'd have paid more attention in machine shop instead of screwing around.
Thank you for this!
Great to see Davin back and great vid! Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Relative to other content on Hagerty, these are the most fun to watch. Davin is a master mechanic who finds some great machining shops to film in. The videographer does a fine job too. Looking forward to seeing this 440 rip around a track.
I had always heard blueprinted and balanced. But have never seen this done on a video! Thanks for sharing !
💯👊👍
I've been waiting a long time to see this video come out. Keep up the great work Davin and we are anxious to see the race car come back to life!
Perfect video! Miss it long time. Thanks a lot!
Finally davin is back, after a very long waiting for the content, Nice 👍
It's a great moment. Tank you!!!!
Thanks Davin and John. Was cool to see the process. Redline Rebuilds Rules, preserving history.
Always a treat watching old iron brought back to life for another period of pavement pounding. 50+ years and when properly machined and assembled with quality parts...they are feared!
Thanks, everyone, for what looks like a great rebuild! Looking very forward to the future episodes! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
So nice watch rebuild vid
Sure glad you guys put tape over that brand marking so we didn't know they were ..... brand micrometers! :D
Finally you are back, I really love your videos about the assembly of engines!!!!
Best big block gas engines ever.
I was just thinking about this series earlier, wondering when we were gonna get our next build. I’m super glad to see y’all again!
Thank you all for the educational content.
Glad to see Redline Rebuilds back.
That man is a serious artist
This is really great content. Have wanted to see more details on an engine rebuild project, for years. These hosts are great communicators!
Ahh, good memories.. spent much of my youth rebuilding Chrysler big blocks
This was an amazing video. Did not realize how much there is to machining an engine the RIGHT way.
We´re missing you, Davin, welcome back
Finally, a new RRU!
We're back babyyyy!
I'm so glad to see you Davin!!😊 I needed some good RUclips without the politics!☺️
I subscribe to Hagerty for this man. The other stuff you guys notify me of, meh. But Davin? He is gold. Redline!!!
I really enjoy watching this process thank you 😊
I do watch a few of these car shows. Seeing a young machinist is pretty wild. All the car shows have geriatrics! God bless them, but seeing a young person is just cool.
This guy is a master. Very impressive
Glad to see you back, sir
Always loved machine shop work. My apprenticeship instructors reckoned i had an instinct for milling and lathe stuff but earning a living took me down a different path.
Great video sir. Reminds me of working in a motorcycle shop back in the late 80's when we were still boring cylinders for dirt bikes.
Welcome back! We've missed you!
Concentricity is a must in most machining prosess!😎😉🧐
😊. Looking forward to seeing that old race car on the track.
Finally!.. sorry guys but I only Hagerty for the Redline rebuilds, good to see
Thank you for sharing,glad to see red line rebuilt , always a pleasure watch your video and i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
This machinist knows his business.
Man.... I missed so much that introduction: "Hey, this is David with Hagerty and Redline rebuilds"
awesome to see this back
Wow! The precision, time and amount of machining that went into that 😮, it better last another 50 years
Been wondering about this car. In fact was thinking about it Friday. Thanks guys for getting back on this and not forgetting about it. 🤘🏼
All that work and I hope they don't use a flat tappet cam!!
