SEIZED Big Block Ford ~ WILL IT RUN After 40 Years?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- I purchased this disgusting wreck of a 1971 Lincoln Mark III for its 460 big block V8 engine. It turned out to be locked up and required a great deal of work to get running again. As is usually the case with 385 series Ford engines and myself, it ends in catastrophe.

"I brought your hole punch" - You proceed to give the Lincoln the John Wilkes Boothe treatment.... lmfao.... never change, Dalton
I have not laughed out loud like that for a long time, that was frickin hilarious!
@@Opticaldelusion1008 it seemed appropriate(ish) considering the Ford Theater that this episode was
Lmao
That was my favorite part too
Perfect definition of a hole punch freaking great 😂
Dalton I have to be honest. All I can focus on is the wipers working stupendously during this “will it fire” segment
Amen to that!
Their ability to just keep going and going and not actually clean the window at all is a miracle that's for sure.
Exactly
I wonder about the lighter ?
"If you have a mental disorder and are restoring a lincoln mark 3 for some reason..." 😂😂Best line yet.
Angus is like "what did he say?"
I Love the Mark III... and i probly am retarded too
I respect that at the end you admit you f*cked up and should have listened to your gut and just pulled and rebuilt it first instead of running it. Takes a big man to admit when he is wrong and is super rare on youtube so thank you for being honest and just chock this up as a life lesson and move forward. There are other good 460s out there and you won't mess up the next one.
@@RWO555 Maybe the time to pull it out would have been when you found metal particles in the oil - that wasn't gonna get any better, that's for sure.
Oh well, in this life, you never stop learning ... .. .
ha ha ha ha you've got to be kidding me
Sell the wheel covers😊
Power washing?, bug bombing?, sanitizer?!... you've gone Hollywood on us 😂
And creating some murican style draining holes.
😂
Would still love to see you do a total rebuild and give that Torino the 460 it deserves even if you gotta work for it
$950 for a good wiper motor is not a bad deal in today's economy. Great video, thanks! Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁
The grill is worth some bucks too.
They use hydraulic power wipers of the power steering
@@V8Power5300 Exactly! So, he has PS and wipers. He'll have his money back in no time! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁💰💵
That is one hell of a wiper motor. It outlasted that 460!
I feel the pain when Dalton noticed that the engine was junk too.
Ah yes, the express pneumatic hole punch. Got me a few of those
That's been one of my favorite features of this channel. It recurs periodically, and it gets a laugh out of me every time.
I had a few too. I lost mine in a boating accident. 😂
you can hear the faint cry of oliver with every shot
Essential item.. Sadly not available in the UK.
"I brought the hole punch" was a great line.
I’m glad Angus sent you a parts list, that’s what I’ve been thinking the whole time so far.
Crazed Dalton with the Sawzall is how we all feel 8 hours into the "quick 2 hour job"
We've all been there. "It'll take about half an hour, dear."
Laughed way too hard when he yelled out FORD trying to get the cylinder head off.
Those heads, with their rockers and pushrods will go straight on a truck 460. You’ll gain compression too, since D0VE heads have 75cc chambers, compared to the 95cc ones on later smog heads. You’ll take a 73+ 460 up to around 9.3:1 compression from the original 8:1. So it is definitely worth rebuilding those heads.
Up
"Not getting the Plague again"🤣🤣 I choked on my sweet tea when you said that!!
I must have missed something, what's the story behind "again"? He mentioned how concerned he was a few times.
Edit: also, brother, if I'm not mistaken, we have the last name...
@@Banryu95 Dalton got really sick a few episodes back, got a shit ton of rat nest to the face.
@@Banryu95 rusty scout will it run. the mouse poops damn near killed him.
@@Brian-Gribbleseriously sick doesnt quite hit right, i mean he landed in the hospital and took nearly a weak after to get back on his feet fully
@@patriotgarage i thought he got lyme disease? isnt that mainly from ticks?
There is a bright side to this Dalton. It's not very often you get to hear an engine die on yt. I may or may not have heard several over my years on this planet, but that's the first V8 I've heard go jiggy jiggy clunk.
if you search theres plenty of "engine blowouts" (i loved as a kid but now i have ptsd from that and hate it with all my soul)
@@gabrielv.4358 yeah, but a lot of those are people doing extreme stuff or high performance cars. It's rare you see a stock car like this just running and going poorly.
What did we learn on PBG today?
How not to get the Plague and how to make drain holes in a matter of seconds. Get this man the Noble Prize! ❤
Also to wear safety goggles in case there's good compression...
Not to be confused with the Nobel Prize.😂
@@JoeBattle I didn't see that! Well spotted! 😆
At least the heads are good
Thank you for being REAL and showing us when it "Just isnt your day" For what its worth I enjoyed watching.
hell Dalton i would watch you pull a motor and rebuild it
Yep, I would too
Same
Yep me too
He did rebuild the engine in JD's car that they built together.
But yeah, I vote for engine rebuild as well, I loved it.
Me too
14:14 When he did the first crank and a little juice flew out, that was pretty funny, but I figured that was probably most of it. I’m glad I was wrong because that was peak content!
'Tragedy Bingo' is fantastic. I think the whole shop is gonna play that whenever we gotta tear apart a vehicle to see what's wrong 👍🏼
It was me, I was the one who told you about enzyme cleaner!
I'm really glad you're looking after your pneumonia makers ^_^
What is the brand?! Going to buy some.
LOVE HOW DALTON WENT ALL ELVIS PRESLEY WITH THE "HOLE PUNCH" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLL
not all heroes wear capes
it may not be Elvis's Pantera but it now has the matching experience
"I brought your hole punch"
*POWPOWPOWPOW*
that had me laughing my ass off at work🤣🤣
That sucks bud but we would happily watch you pulling an engine and tearing it down just as much as a will it run video. Cheers bud!
Some people leave cookies for Santa... We leave copper for crackheads... I'm ashamed to say I LAUGHED RIGHT OUT LOUD for that one!
I could never understand why people prefer to work on filthy machinery when a few minutes of cleaning can make things safer and easier to diagnose. Guard your health so we can enjoy more of your adventures. Thanks for making great content!
Yea! PBG for the win!!!
Well Dalton at least The Wipers worked really good 😂😂😂😂
Those things get the mvp award 🤣
I wonder if angus needs the wiper motor. it's well tested.
When they sped up with the engine running it showed it was charging! 😊
@@murkywaters7185not charging.... they're hydraulic wipers. They run off the power steering pump. So as the power steering pump spun faster, it made the wipers move faster.
and never stop working
That old Lincoln brings back memories, good memories!!!!
That grill has got to be saved. It's the nicest thing on the whole dam car
It’d at least make some good wall art.
Love your channel brother, and I'm looking forward to seeing your solution for the bad motor, whether that's a rebuild or a good runner.
Sorry I just figured out how to look for super thanks in my comments, RUclips makes this tough, thanks though!
A 1:40 into the video....."I am going to dispose of it in an environmentally friendly fashion that you will not see." I fell out of the chair laughing and in my mind when you said that i was thinking BURN PILE.
Buddy that was a real downer for u on the 460...But it was a Real + Good episode of a hard working/ mechanic/ utuber , you have the best Friday nite episodes ,look forward to them, you remind me of a young me , I did the same stuff as u but in the late 1970's 80,s 90,s ... big R from Calgary Canada 😊
That's part of what makes this channel so good. Even when things don't go as planned it still makes the cut. Sorry about the engine, but great video. Made my morning!
Thank you for your honesty man. Life ain't all big blocks that fire up with just a twist of the distributor cap.
Those damn kids and their a-10s 😂😂😂😂
Glad they are on our side... Its not a good day otherwis
Brrrrrrppppppt. Thank you. From 10th mountain hooahh
I bet they could really punch a hole in a lincoln mark three.
@@jaggederest it would make a fantastic recruiting video👌
Videos like this are good reminders that sometimes it all just goes wrong. I had the same failure in an old VW engine I had revived. I was about to test drive it after doing a ton of work to it and the head popped off of one of the exhaust valves and stopped the whole show.
Hey Dalton, your videos are a great therapy for me, I wish I had the chance, the tools and the time to engage in something like that but at the moment I am very grateful that your videos give this veteran a moment to escape from depression and the daily mayhem that we go thru. Really. Thank you so much!!
Not to make you feel bad or anything but I would have loved a video of you yanking, rebuilding, and putting the engine in the Torino just as much or more as this video. All you had to do is say, "I don't want to mess this one up so we are going to pull it, strip it and rebuild it so we KNOW it runs." and we would watch it.
Would rather watch that than what this episode turned into.
@@Lawdog652I think he couldn’t let it win
I have never seen a 460 fail like that before, it would be interesting to know the history of it. Wow
Valve got stuck open piston hit it and ended up dropping valve and reason it failed, valves get stuck when they sit outdoors for a long time, it wasn't anything that was abnormal, it was from sitting. He actually was correct when he notice valve wasn't closing as blew back out carburetor. It was seizing open and piston hit and snapped valve off stem as he was running it. Unfortunately you can't compress a valve, so piston and rod also broke.
It was definitely a interference motor.
Please dont give up on the Ford engines big man 🙏 been a while since we've seen a dingleball rebuild on the channel, pulling another 460 would be a great candidate for that
Sorry it didn't work out for you! 😥😥😥 I was super impressed when you bothered to gap the plugs and lube the cylenders too!
Favorite part is the black and white foreshadowing clips, thats how you know its gonna be a good video.
Honestly I think it's the worst part.
Love it!
If you ever watch Low-Buck Garage, similar experience.
@@Lawdog652it’s okay to be wrong 😊
Always appreciate videos where you show your screw-ups because we all make them can't be right every time
Dalton you buy these cars so we don’t have to. Thank you for your service sir.
This episode is amazing.
Started off with bullet holes in the trunk. Then adding “drain holes” to the floor. And the. Bashing the heater core to smithereens because… Ford!!!
I just recently finished doing a head job on my 1969 Mercury Marauder which has almost exactly the same engine layout and heater core/blower box setup and I ran into the exact same problem and 90% of the battle was just trying to get access and room to do the work.
The Windshield Wipers cheering him on was great!
i think it's fair to say you got a really good wiper motor out of the deal.
@15:10 The wipers coming on reminds me of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" When the body collector is saying "Bring out your dead!" and a man is trying to bring out his elderly father, who says "IM NOT DEAD!" LOL. That car is trying to say IM NOT DEAD! LOOK AT ME! I HAVE WIPERS! LOL
It's deader than a dead parrot now, that's for sure.
@@mrb.5610It is an *EX-CAR!*
One of the most entertaining people on RUclips. I absolutely love your content. Sorry the engine didn't fair out.
Man I love these flashbacks you make in your videos. @27:10
I don't know why, but those wipers had me laughing hysterically every time he tried to start the car🤣🤣🤣
I could smell through the phone when the "cure all mix" covered you 😂
I always get so excited to see a new video posted!! This is my dream thing to do with my sons!! Did this stuff minus the videos with my dad growing up so it hits close to home! Thank you for the amazing content man!!
Rough day at the office, we all have them. I would certainly watch a 460 rebuild video if you find another one
It was scary listening to the way it was running and sounded ! Always love the content! Look forward to it every week ! I think you should save that motor ! Do a special on it !
@1:52 I am proud of you actually. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We don't need you catching rat plague again. I hope others learn from your example so they don't damn near die over a car restoration video.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
The best penetrant I've ever seen is mint oil and diesel. I first ran across it at the railroad museum I volunteer at, one of the guys got some mint oil from the farm where he works. I was blown away at just how effective the stuff is, it eats through anything! You can buy the mint oil online in big containers, and it's not too horribly priced. Another great video Dalton! I about died laughing when you busted out the 'hole punch'! 🤣 Keep up the great work brother, you are not only entertaining (and educational), but you are inspiring a lot of people to get out there and wrench on old iron. Thank you brother! 🤘
Mint oil? As in Peppermint?
@@achimhaun2726 Yessir. Peppermint or Spearmint oil. The stuff we use in the locomotive shop is spearmint.
The easiest way to start the car without keys is a dent puller screw it in and the cylinder will pop out
Those are fantastic engines. Had a 79 bronco with a 351M, took it out and put in one of those 460 DOVE C ENGINES and oh yeah. BAD ASS.
I was laughing the majority of watching this video. Not getting the plague, mental health and restoring a Mark III, every bit of the humor was very hilarious. Probably one of the best made videos to date.
That really sucks with the 460 DOve motor blowing up. Hindsight being 20/20, it probably would've been better to remove the engine and rebuilt it. But it was most likely hecked before in 1985. Possibly another block out there. If you did a video on the heads, I'd watch that.
Tough one brother. You win some you lose some. Those Mark III's had a crankshaft driven power steering pump with no belt. As I watched the video I was wondering how that would work out in the Torino. I guess the world will never know.
Ah perfect timing, i needed a new fix (cause i‘m addicted to this channel)
Hay it was probably just metal fatigue mate don't beat yourself up love watching you do stuff
Well, I just witnessed a land yacht (named the Widow Brown's Inn) receive a complete detoxification by the Michelin Man 😂, to complete engine failure (typical Ford swallowing a valve. I can say that, Because it's happened to me a gazillion times). All in the glory of a day in the life, of Polebarn Garage! Epic! You're right Dalton, there's a first time for everything, but at least it was a Ford, and not "A JAGG" that locked up on you!
I definitely love being a member of the low buck club, and I DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE!!! Thanks again for another great video!!😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
One more comment here. I love Jes input and a touch.She adds to it, but also, the hole punch was the best.
That was quality 😂
Well at least we know the wipes work. Early 70s Lincoln’s must be in the air. I’m working on a 73 4 door Continental right now with the DOVE motor.
I love it when future Dalton shows up with wise hindsight. Awesome video
What I love about this channel is it's realness. I always say that I get lucky so many times that I'm due for a pooper. They happen. Real life things.
I love how you can see Dalton's shirt through the "Bio Hazzard Suit" lol.
Wow Dalton...people want to witness a 470 rebuild to make mega horsepower! 😊😊
14:28 😂 "That hole has great compression..." lmao...
You need some “I Hate 460s” merch! They seem to be your nemesis.
Judging by the truckstop coffee quality oil, that problem likely existed before you even cranked that.
Funny thing, between watching JYD and this video, I’ve seen about four of these old Lincoln’s on marketplace. Good thing I can’t convince my wife to let me buy one!
It looks like someone cleaned out there office and just left it in the back of their trunk 😂
The entire office worth of paintings and books and the empty 18 pack really tell a story alright
@@mildly_miffed_man1414 and it was found in an impound sounds like someone got fired lol
Dalton, I and others in the comments agree. Especially when you care about making something even kind of nice. It's okay to just do the "less interesting" video of pulling and rebuilding the engine.
Glad to see you avoiding plague and caring the smidge more about safety.
As much as we like content, heartbreak and/or death would be so much sadder than a slightly less interesting video.
Love this early access!
Least I can do
@@PoleBarnGarageI still see good parts on it
Watching this episode in the shed working on my 70 MK3 . Sometimes in Shock . Nearly begging to..... Beam me up Scotty to your place ... Laughing ..... She was in a Sad state . But Parts are like Kangaroo shit to you guys . . If you have some parts Left, Ill Sent a Kanagroo and few Sharks to entertain the next BBQ. Cheers Dalton . Keep up the content .
8:50 jess- "i brought your hole punch" lol.
Holy shit I lost it at that part hahaha
not sure if he got a new camera or not but i loaded up the video and went whooooaaa PBG is gettin fancy!!!! super clear and detailed camera work!
Awesome content
Tuff break
Don’t give up on the 460 that car deserves it
Nice…just what I needed on a lazy Sunday!
49:43 I am living through you vicariously for this whole bit. My 89 Thunderbird is the reason I have so many compact ratchets, sockets, swivel heads, and other stubby tools. The steering angle on it is fantastic, but I have to reach up from underneath the car to get to the spark plugs. If I didn't care about keeping it in one piece, I would have started cutting things off it ages ago. Maybe if I make it a drift car I'll take a cutter wheel to it. Someday maybe.
"I brought your hole punch" "thanks" had me dying
That old engine was begging for mercy from the start. But just like the lion tamers of old you beat that thing into waking up and putting on a show to the death. When it sounds like a bucket with a brick in it while it's running, that's never a good sign. As always, you never disappoint.
I dont blame him. he was just too thrilled to get it working you just forget the obvious. I still think the valve fell, and not that it has stuck
Ever notice that when you are extra careful, like a penetrating lube mix to protect the cylinders, that's when unusual shit goes wrong? I can't count the times without taking my shoes off that I've taken extra precautions and had a vehicle shit the bed big time.
You really don’t have great luck with those 460s, a 4:29 would be neat, but I think your idea of a 400 Pontiac going in your Torino would make amazing content! It would make both the Ford and GM guys cringe but I bet there’s a lot of of us out there that would love it. Lol
"I'll be as violent as required" PURE GOLD!!
I, for one, was screaming at the screen saying, 'Pull the engine, don't try to start it... you'll destroy it!' But noooo, had to go and listen to all the experts on utube...
Win some, lose some. Great vid. Sorry for your loss 🤪
Absolutely love these 70s lincolns but when those frames go there's pretty much nothing you can do and theyre scrap lol
The interior/trim bits and bobs are pretty valuable though (because nobody bothered to part them out because nobody bothered restoring them)
The D460 heads are what’s important. All you need is a regular 460 block to build with those heads. You’re in good shape still.
I'm drooling over the Torino. That series is going to be epic!
This careless operation of power tools along with the commentary is hilarious!😂
Yeah areal riot🙄
Love the PPE. Don't get the plague again! lol
LMAO 😆 Dalton, IDK if JD told you or not but when that big turd started for the first time, it disappeared into a cloud of smoke.💨
Love the quote from “Escape from NY”.
Hey Dalton been watching your Videos sometime now. Iam Rocky in Iowa 63 years old. Ive Liked most of your Videos. Glad you recovered from being Sick. Iam a Ford Man by Heart. Been working on Classics for 30 years off and on during health issues, Good Luck too you JD and Jessie. Rocky
9:06 The good old semi auto hole puncher 😂
My dad worked for Ford in the 70's, he talked about the Sticking Valves in Ford motors. Must have been one of those big blocks.
Just noticed, after many many videos, that you wear an analog watch. Simplicity at its best :).
27:44 the engine was cranking at the same time as the wipers 😂😂😂
Now that you have the D0VE heads I'd take 1 of the other 2 smog 460s and with some better pistons camshaft have a great engine or the Cadillac bronco creation Kevin owns has a domed piston 460 in it
I had a '75 Mustang II w/a 302 do the same thing! It dropped a valve, I believe it was the same cylinder as yours! It's been almost 20 years ago so my memory is a bit rusty but I remember it dropped a valve and the piston was now a jagged golf ball.
