someone knows how to do an engine rebuild someone knows how to do an RUclips video someone is a awesome professional totally entertaining and enjoyable
im 27 and i found a 1930 ford model a for 6k a few miles from me. iv rebuild motorcycles for a few years and since iv became a engineer. i dont know why but i keep getting pulled towards old cars simple motors and just the calm road. something about being able to complete rebuild a motor with a garage shop set up is just nice. such a simple car and treat it right it will last forever. no complex electronics nothing crazy. best part keep it basic and u can have your kids working on it learning the confidence to tackle much greater mechanical feats.
I've helped rebuild several of Model A engines with my 84 year old father-in-law. Each time I learn a bit more of the "tricks of the trade" he knows. He pours his own blend of babbitt bearings. He's a genius when it comes to these engines.
100% professional job from start to finish, no expense spared. 60 years ago I was in the middle of a 5-year motor mechanics apprenticeship here in the UK, so I recognise all the parts of that engine. In the 1960s we were repairing pre-war cars as well as more modern ones. Great stuff.
Pouring the babbit bearings was a complete surprise to me. Were all bearings made in that way back then? Incredible. More amazing is the fact that the knowledge and equipment still exists to do that kind of work. Incredible.
I realize it would add a little time to the rebuild, but was sorely missing the narrator describing what was happening in the video. A couple places I had no clue what they were doing.
@@danielharper635 Im glad they didnt narrate it, cause it wasnt the point of the vid. 99.99999% of people watching aren't going to be rebuilding a Model A anytime soon
my neighbor just asked if I wanted to work on a 1930 Model A 5-window coupe. I told him I know nothing about the engine, etc. I may have to take a look at it. Engine seems easy to work on, (plenty of room). I work on motorcycles so it is a stretch for me. I think this is right up your alley! Dale Swineheart, DeKalb, IL
@@alexnather7614 that is true. Old tractors engines are the same. Low HP low compression loose tolerance. I got a 1953 Farmall that will fire on the first hit every time after all these decades. They was made by Continental Engine. Pretty similar to the Ford engines .

unbelievable . I didn't even imagine recovering this Ford vehicle... here in the interior of São Paulo, when I was young, I traveled in a FORD 29 for kilometers, it was pure nostalgia for dirt roads, rain and a lot of mud.💖👏👏👏👏👏
My Chevy 216 from 1947 spun a bearing. I could have had it fixed but opted to go for a 235ci engine better. More power, 40 lbs oil pressure apposed to 13 lbs, and about 30 more hp quite a bit more torque. Like you said, lost art for the everyday man.
Ron's shop is legit! Friend of mine has them rebuilding a 29 model A engine. They are super nice, and gave us a tour of the museum. It's a MUST see if in southern/Eastern Ohio
My grandpa had a Model A he modified and raced in hill climbs. He used a 1928 block, bored and stroked it, and increased the compression ratio. Fun little car to ride in. Lots of good memories.
@@BlackBladeGroM all that tooling may not of been around yet but they could keep the tolerances very well they were making precision items back then that were hand fitted look at the 1911 pistol many modern companies make them and have excellent tooling but if you don't know how to fit the parts to the right tolerance they don't work well it was ford who used guage blocks from Carl Edvard Johansson for his assembly lines and bought the company from him guage blocks are used for the calibration of measuring equipment used in machine shops, such as micrometers, sine bars, calipers, and dial indicators
Got to love the old Motors, I had a 1950 International pickup truck with a straight 6. the rod bearings locked up on me while I was going across town I live in Green Bay Wisconsin.. so I got under the truck the next morning after we towed it home. Dropped the oil pan , drop the rod bearings, push the Pistons up, took some emory paper and sanded all the journals down. put new rod bearings in it with some plastic gauge underneath the ones that I sanded hard ... ran the truck another 8 years . everybody told me that's never going to work , that has to be Precision machined...maybe on a motor nowadays, but not in an old International pickup truck or any of the other old Motors.. so the Tolerance on your motor, how perfect it is .... from your rebuild.... that Motors got to feel like a brand new baby. Running good... like I said I ran that truck run another 8 years and then the guy that got it from me, is probably still driving it and they're still no rod knock....
I think there is no engine you wouldn't rebuild to factory condition, you are amazing. It would be awesome to see you guys do a wankel or a Ford 429 shotgun :D
Love how simple engine is, even in a timelapse I, a not so experienced person, could identify every part, what it does, and how it does it, really really cool.
Never get tired of watching this. It’s almost like watching it for the first time everytime I watch it. Master engine builder, expert time lapse videographer! The best!
My only criticism is that I'd like to hear the engine come to life when it's done, that's the whole payoff of watching a strip down and rebuild of an engine, that's the reward to the viewer, hearing that sweet sound, it's the reason we hung around till the end.
After all the machine work - this will probably be the most precise blue printed model A engine on the road. No way they could repeat tolerances like that in the 1930s.
You want to bet? My grandfather had his own garage in Dearborn. Henery Ford actually purchased the whole building and had it moved to the Henry Ford Museum. I still have a few wrenches from that garage as well as a couple light bulbs from the lights.
@@joeladzim1225 have you seen some of my work? No! Hobbiest can be the most detailed people around fella. I have seen some scale model engines made from Hobbyists that are every bit as like the real thing. Toys? You clearly understand NOTHING. Scale models were built of full sized ships so the builders could visualize what it was they were building and enabled changes to the final real build without costing. You need to read more and shut your yap!
@@jamesburris4078 Babbitt used in an engine bearing contains little if any lead. There are Babbitt alloys that do contain lead, but those are only used for very low speed industrial bearings, not engines. Modern insert bearings also have a Babbitt lining.
Still used in really big bearings. Most power stations run them in their turbine/generator train. But yes I'm a bit suprised there are an engine recco shops out there still doing it.
25 years ago I rebuild one of these and what huge was my surprise when I realized that the rod bearing was made from leather!!!! Great video as always. Thanks very much.
1:00 that intake/exhaust design is giving me aneurysms. Granted it's like a century old but still... Also that engine will probably work a better than it did when it was brand new.
@@Brian13356 if you’re talking about the big slotted rectangle on top of the exhaust manifold, I believe it was to assist in cooling, a heat sink of sorts. These motors didn’t have a water pump, they relied on hydrodynamics to circulate water through the engine, and I’m sure that wasn’t sufficient enough, so I believe that is just to aid in cooling the engine.
The intake/exhaust are coupled to keep the intake hot for better fuel air mix, the finned rectangular piece is to keep the exhaust not going seriously hot
@@sundstrom193 You're actually quite wrong. These engines had a water pump that bolted to the head. The finned piece on the exhaust header is a dealer option. You ran that header with a special shroud, and could have a heater in these cars.
Not really, his way was of efficient production with the lowest cost possible. When their cars ended up in junkyards they would get them back inspect all of it and cut back on what was lasting longer than what people kept them for to lower Manufacturing cost.
@@bryanmartinez6600 I'm talking more in the context of total precision. And frankly it's more because of car design where the chassis of the vehicle is made from alternate materials instead of iron and steel which significantly decreases the need for excess metal which was earlier needed to strengthen the vehicle. No it was more in the model Ts design which had excess metal which was recycled. The difference I was talking about was how we can make almost 30 times more power from a 4 cyl of the same displacement just because of the quality of the tools and workforce.
This video is a work of art, the aesthetics of the image, the music, the movement of the camera ... I know nothing about it ... but when it's beautiful ... it's beautiful! Serge

You make me wish I could apprentice with you guys for a year or two. I would learn so much. But I don't think the arthritis in my shoulders will allow it anyway. Great job, as usual. Looking forward to the next one. Any chance you found a '64 Fairlane 4-door with a 260 V8 automatic to rebuild? That was what I had when I was 22. Never got to finish what I wanted to do with that car. Watching you do a rebuild of one would be awesome.
Videos involving engines like this only makes me wonder why we ever thought "more complicated is better." At times we all enjoy the related benefits of todays technology, but videos like this also make it clear that ignoring the "simple tech" of the past and relegating it to the shelf in favor of "advancement" isn't always wise.
Tetraethyllead was a lead based gasoline additive used by older engines to reduce/prevent engine knock. As you can imagine this was not good for humans or the environment. "In the mid-20th century, scientists discovered TEL caused lead poisoning and was toxic to the human brain, especially in children.[5] The United States and many other countries began phasing out the use of TEL in automotive fuel in the 1970s." That is one example. As technology advances, it becomes more complicated. Many of us can start a camp fire on our own, no one can build a computer "on our own.". The OBD II system and catalytic system are other automotive examples of excellent advancements in automotive technology that have greatly benefited the United States.

Pouring those Babbitt main bearings are a lost art now days.
I just posted a question what was going on with the bearings, and I thought it was lead?
Looked like aluminum?
It is and it isn’t, heavy industry/oilfield Babbitt bearings are still made daily. Most modern pumpjacks still utilize hand poured bearings
I was wondering what that was. I have a lot to learn still.

Interesting thing. The other day I saw a Model A (the subject of this rebuild) with a Buick Nail Head in it (the subject of your last rebuild).
A cool car and a cool motor. But you can't beat the original flat 4 for cool factor.
Love that car,
Almost 100 years .
My only criticism is that I'd like to hear the engine come to life when it's done, that's the whole payoff of watching a strip down and rebuild of an engine, that's the reward to the viewer, hearing that sweet sound, it's the reason we hung around till the end.
So satisfying, what's even more satisfying is the model a drifting
Très beau travail 👌
J'imagine même pas le temps de tournage ! Grand chapeau 😜
6:29 If only I could drink beer and watch myself working on my motorcycle..
Just record it wtf
@@dylanvance96 о, ты тоже смотришь WTFакт? Мне тоже нравиттся етот канал.
It looks amazing i wish there were shops like this one in my area. Amazing!
Where can I find a mechanic that works this fast?
The production quality on these videos is stunning
If only these pieces of the past could talk. Great video. Great job.
After all the machine work - this will probably be the most precise blue printed model A engine on the road. No way they could repeat tolerances like that in the 1930s.
You want to bet? My grandfather had his own garage in Dearborn. Henery Ford actually purchased the whole building and had it moved to the Henry Ford Museum. I still have a few wrenches from that garage as well as a couple light bulbs from the lights.
Don't see what you're point is here, but ok, cool I guess.
RC Hobbyist Extreme what? Go back to your toys kid
so much ego in this thread. lmao take a chill pill you guys
@@joeladzim1225 have you seen some of my work? No! Hobbiest can be the most detailed people around fella. I have seen some scale model engines made from Hobbyists that are every bit as like the real thing. Toys? You clearly understand NOTHING. Scale models were built of full sized ships so the builders could visualize what it was they were building and enabled changes to the final real build without costing. You need to read more and shut your yap!
I like how he was sitting on the bumper drinking coffee watching the new guy put it together...😂
Warrentheo im jealous i didnt come across an amazing teacher like this when i was a kid.
@@jackmehoff2363 lol, take a second look at the "student" 😆
Didn't know anyone did Babbitt bearings anymore.
Except Keith Fenner!
Is that what the lead was for?
I have very little knowledge of the flathead style engines...
I'm used to conventional bearing engines.
@@jamesburris4078 Babbitt used in an engine bearing contains little if any lead. There are Babbitt alloys that do contain lead, but those are only used for very low speed industrial bearings, not engines. Modern insert bearings also have a Babbitt lining.
Still used in really big bearings. Most power stations run them in their turbine/generator train.
But yes I'm a bit suprised there are an engine recco shops out there still doing it.
Wow, I can tell the guys at Ron's Machine Shop really take pride in their work. It was awesome to see the babbitting process.
Wonderful to watch . You are also the one who knows what he is talking about , that makes you stand out above the other channels .
Now i know why hagerty is so good when it comes to rebuilding engine, there is a ghost helping them. 😁😄😆
Actually, they allow employees to help restore these vehicles. My daughter helped work on a 69 Mustang fastback. She is loving it working there!
Very good time lapse!!!
Properly restored without the need for tons of unnecessary chrome.
You mean boring.
@ No, just as they were turned out from the factory when new.
25 years ago I rebuild one of these and what huge was my surprise when I realized that the rod bearing was made from leather!!!! Great video as always. Thanks very much.
Not stock. That means the rod bearings failed. An emergency fix was some leather from your belt. Only meant to get you home!
Whoever did this videos knows really how to entertain people, I like how the screws and plugs maneuvered, man I had to rewind.
Such a cool video thank you guys
О, я тут не один))
1:00 that intake/exhaust design is giving me aneurysms. Granted it's like a century old but still...
Also that engine will probably work a better than it did when it was brand new.
What is the rectangular opening in front of the manifold for? Any idea? (edit; could it be an intake for a cab heater of some sort?)
High tec like a Harley......
@@Brian13356 if you’re talking about the big slotted rectangle on top of the exhaust manifold, I believe it was to assist in cooling, a heat sink of sorts. These motors didn’t have a water pump, they relied on hydrodynamics to circulate water through the engine, and I’m sure that wasn’t sufficient enough, so I believe that is just to aid in cooling the engine.
The intake/exhaust are coupled to keep the intake hot for better fuel air mix, the finned rectangular piece is to keep the exhaust not going seriously hot
@@sundstrom193 You're actually quite wrong. These engines had a water pump that bolted to the head. The finned piece on the exhaust header is a dealer option. You ran that header with a special shroud, and could have a heater in these cars.
henry ford would wish he had such a shop in the 30s.
Not really, his way was of efficient production with the lowest cost possible. When their cars ended up in junkyards they would get them back inspect all of it and cut back on what was lasting longer than what people kept them for to lower Manufacturing cost.
@@bryanmartinez6600 I'm talking more in the context of total precision. And frankly it's more because of car design where the chassis of the vehicle is made from alternate materials instead of iron and steel which significantly decreases the need for excess metal which was earlier needed to strengthen the vehicle. No it was more in the model Ts design which had excess metal which was recycled. The difference I was talking about was how we can make almost 30 times more power from a 4 cyl of the same displacement just because of the quality of the tools and workforce.
This video is a work of art, the aesthetics of the image, the music, the movement of the camera ... I know nothing about it ... but when it's beautiful ... it's beautiful! Serge
Техника шикарная!!!!! Видео завораживает!!!!!!!!!! Исполнение ремонта идеальное!!!!!
6:16 nice touch
Please dont custom this car to big tire and bagged like hotrod car, keep it stock.
Yes to this! I'm tired of seeing too many ruined A's now a days.
She's fine as is ...hope it stays that way it looks like fun , and also like how it was done way back when.
Damn right!! There aren't many of these old girls surviving nearly a century later. Doing that just looks like hell and should be a crime imo.
Впечатляет, молодцы! Good, very good!
Промышленная держава...
That's actually like watching a great painting.... Only more fascinating.... Extremely satisfying to watch skilled hands at work, especially when it's restoring something to give pleasure to future generations.
REAL MECHANICS , REAL MECHANIC SHOP , REAL TECH , not your ordinary “part changer” 👍
Cheaper to change parts. Next
You make me wish I could apprentice with you guys for a year or two. I would learn so much. But I don't think the arthritis in my shoulders will allow it anyway.
Great job, as usual. Looking forward to the next one. Any chance you found a '64 Fairlane 4-door with a 260 V8 automatic to rebuild? That was what I had when I was 22. Never got to finish what I wanted to do with that car. Watching you do a rebuild of one would be awesome.
"I've got so much room to work on my Volkswagen.
"Can you sleep in the engine compartment? Try working on my Model T"
I literally sat inside my engine bay to do a valve lash on my 350. Not the most comfortable place to be but still
Videos involving engines like this only makes me wonder why we ever thought "more complicated is better." At times we all enjoy the related benefits of todays technology, but videos like this also make it clear that ignoring the "simple tech" of the past and relegating it to the shelf in favor of "advancement" isn't always wise.
Tetraethyllead was a lead based gasoline additive used by older engines to reduce/prevent engine knock. As you can imagine this was not good for humans or the environment.
"In the mid-20th century, scientists discovered TEL caused lead poisoning and was toxic to the human brain, especially in children.[5] The United States and many other countries began phasing out the use of TEL in automotive fuel in the 1970s."
That is one example. As technology advances, it becomes more complicated. Many of us can start a camp fire on our own, no one can build a computer "on our own.". The OBD II system and catalytic system are other automotive examples of excellent advancements in automotive technology that have greatly benefited the United States.
Both your machinery and your skill are OUTSTANDING
I’ve been living by my house all my life just found out in the woods next door is an abandoned ford model a
Rescue it!
Why isn’t it in your garage already??
Because it isn’t on my property. It’s on my neighbors
@@2koolchris291 my GAWD you should start the chronicle NOW. take a GoPro and put it on your hat and go visit the old car. (Get permission, of course).
Establish a friendship with the owner, find the emotional connection necessary to begin the process of getting the old car back in the garage and rejoining the world!!
