Straight eights were probably the best engines. Inline engines produce more torque. Inline 6's are bulletproof engines too. I read where a couple of the car mfrs are looking at going back to the inline forward engines.
@@gackal1982 Right on. The shop manual for 1940 Buicks has a graph showing the 40 and 50 Series (248 cubic inch straight 8 - 51 was a 263) with 4.40 rear axle ratio turning 4131 RPMs at 80 mph. That's the busiest one shown.
hyzercreek hi. the oil is just dripping with a very low flow at the front side of the rockershaft. without any pressure. look at more videos of running buick engines. you won t see any oil spurting around. .
@john jay You know most cars before this had exposed valve trains that you manually dripped oil on before you started the car. The rockers and pushrods only need a little bit. You are correct that OHC needs more oil in the valve cover for the cam, which I know is sometimes a problem on old BMW's. I have an e36.
I'm working on my 40 Buick Special with a 52 263 Straight 8. I was surprised to read that the oil path from the pump goes first to the rocker shaft, then down through the push rods to the lifters, backwards to what I'm used to on Chevrolet. The Chevys pump oil up through the push rods, giving the squirting at the rockers we're used to. (This makes a mess when setting valves - even a fire hazard, I found out the hard way - twice. (Slow learner, but I've got the concept now.)
Sound good, though I didn't see much oiling at the rockers. is the oil metering much less compared to a modern V8 or did a cam bearing get put in 180 out? I'm a big Buick fan but more around the Mid sixties 401 Nailhead period. Thank You! - Sandy.
@@paulb1982 That fitting for the line coming from the filter is a metered fitting. That little hole can plug up, either partially or eventually, completely. I would check it if I was you. Many replaced it with a standard fitting instead.
Hi chris, no, when i bought the car in the US. A friend of mine ordered an replica exhaust at a mufler shop in the US and shipped it together with the car to Europe.... it sounds really nice...
Why the i8 straight 8 engines has not been continue for commercial and industrial purposes on special request or special vehicles the straight 6&8 engines has better power and torques than the V6 &V8 .
V engines have much shorter crankshafts, not to mention blocks and everything else. I had my 292 Chevy inline 6 crankshaft at a machine shop, and was amazed how little the V8 cranks were by comparison. I was reminded of the Crocodile Dundee movie scene where Dundee says, "That's not a knife. THIS is a knife." So the Vs are more compact and lighter. But the inlines are smoother and way, way cooler. You'll want help picking up a cylinder head, crank, or block, though.
@@stephenandloriyoung5716 Mainly packaging and weight issues. Hoods were getting shorter, and compression ratios were going up, up, and away. A Straight 8 that could stand double-digit compression ratios and high RPM, and a big bore, short stroke configuration would be way too long and way too heavy. It could be done, but the car would stylistically at odds with the current trends of the day, and be way too nose-heavy.
Straight 6 works well. But as I recall straight 8 had twist problems and back 2 cylinders overheat inconsistent air fuel mixture. Plus real long. I don't think can beat V8. Straight 8 may be real smooth but I dint you can get the horsepower per cubic inch a V 8 can .And if so that is a problem today because need bigger engine to get the job done more fuel consumption at idle.

Something about that sound! This one sounds really good, thanks for letting us see and hear this jem
Beautiful motors Car will be the envy of all when finished
sweet song. nothing like it today.
That’s quite the project you got there!!!
Sounds GREAT!
Love it. Smooth power.
Any engine you can run without a valve cover and not have a cloud of oil spraying out in all directions is pretty damn good in my book
Oh yeah. Is there enough oil flow to keep everything lubricated really properly and well. Maybe there isn't

What would the redline be on one of these engines?
right around 3500-4000

Hi Sandy. About the oil it is indeed less oil what is lubricating the rockers. It seems to be normal for that year. .

Smooth straight8. Very clean looking engine. Nice color.
Didn't all engines in 41 have the dual intake?
hi ted. thanks . the dual inlet was an option on the Buick 41special Se those days . The roadmasters did have standard the dual carb.
I see. Thanks. I didn't know.
On the Century, Super, Roadmaster, and Limited, yes, on the Special, it was an option. Most had it.
Yep , sure did !!
The first overhead valve eight cylinder.
Chevrolet Model D had an OHV V8 in 1918-1919.
is that a fence post exhaust?
Hi chris, no, when i bought the car in the US. A friend of mine ordered an replica exhaust at a mufler shop in the US and shipped it together with the car to Europe.... it sounds really nice...
0:03 Is that supposed to be a battery?
🤣 LOL no Piece of wood, for isolatie the plus and minus connection. Sometimes jou must be creatieve.
Love it nice work
Pretty quiet tappets
Smooooth!
I wonder what if one push this I8 to the power of 600hp.. Would it sound better than 2JZ??
Maybe if it had a custom DOHC head made for it.
Smooth
Sweet !
nice
all fun & games when you're watching the engine run like this, until it seizes bc there's no oil
Not a 1941 , 1941 Buick had two 2 barrel carbs !!
Music.
👍👍👍

Go to a truck stop and get an 18 inch steering wheel cover.
Hello Paul, who is the source of your fuel lines from the pump to the carburetor?
