Hey J…. Sorry to see that video of you going back to your day job. The 10k earnings is real and unfortunately these streaming platforms don’t pay good money YET. Sometime down the road maybe. But for now… keep doing what you love for the love of it. I worked many years until I found real money in what I loved to do. I appreciate your amazing work and passion. Onward.
Enjoying the series. The views of the magneto got me curious, so I did a little searching. I found out magnetos generate AC current. One of the comments I came across was how the ignition was better with the magneto and the contacts in the ignition system lasted longer on the magneto. Recently, I was curious why switches always have a much lower DC voltage rating than the rating for AC voltage. With a little thought, I came to understand the difference. When contacts break DC voltage, the arc is much harder to quench, the current just keeps flowing. When contacts break AC voltage, there's always a brief period when the voltage crosses zero, it's at this instant the arc has a chance to quench. And so an AC voltage arc between separating contacts will always quench much more quickly than a DC arc between separating electrical contacts. Your videos provoke much thought.
Min 13:02, Irecomend when you repair a metal crack like that it is neccesary to drill a hole at the end of the crack to prevent their extensinon. After that you can weld.
We used to repair boiler feed water pumps by drilling hundreds of holes and tapping every one of them overlapping each plug , then plugged. Can't remember the name of that.....
hope you got one. I got mine 35 years ago and it still is a source of interest and enjoyment. Working on the engine is not unlike newer cars. The only big difference is the babbitt bearings but hopefully you won't have to address that.
I worked in my dad's service station as a kid in grade school, when this car would have been 31 to 37 years old. The Model T was already a curiosity. We had only one customer who drove one. When we serviced it, people would stop in to gawk. Today a 1990 Ford on the road is unremarkable. I have a 21-year-old Camaro Z28 that's barely broken in at 86K miles.

Our local Model T guy had been trying to figure out his dead magneto for years many years ago. Some friends introduced me and he explained that he had replaced everything, the magneto coils, wiring, ignition coil box... everything. So I asked for a wrench, which did not stick to the magnets! He was stunned. I didn't know about recharging them back then.

All the mechanics & service station owners in two counties attended his retirement, held at his shop. It was a bit of a hole-in-the-wall type shop, but he did good work! Imagine groups of guys gathered around assorted fire barrels, drinking beer and yacking into the wee hours of the morning. Wish I had attended.
@@Jerod_Helt Looking it up, a Model T in 1923 cost ~$750 and $750 in 1923 would be a little over $11,000 in today's dollars. Which seems right for a aver basic car. Imagine telling the owner in 1923 that the radiator alone would cost more than the whole car in 100 years.
Unless I missed it, you didn’t check the magneto gap. Unless you just got lucky, you will not get a mag that will work very well. That gap has to be within specs to function correctly
Hi John, Can you elaborate more about the Gap. Also the way you recharge the magnet how did you know ig your recharged them enough as well? I love your Video.
At about 12:00 I'm thinking bout how efficient and forward thinking the design, even a little Honda VTEC is a crankshaft with pistons. After all these years, even a Bentley V12... crankshaft, pistons...
Yeah things were definitely different back then. The manual recommends changing the piston rings every 10k miles and estimates that the job takes about an hour and half. Today’s cars go 10k miles between oil changes👍
Yes but there are two values gained: learning how a Model T works in detail; resorting one that would otherwise be lost. There are things more valuable than money.
There was an aftermarket “oiler” pipe and bracket that was attached there when I took the engine apart. I wasn’t sure when assembling the engine if I was going to reinstall it. I ended up not reinstalling it. I put bolts there before adding the engine oil.
I agree with cudaman because there are so many things you kinda did wrong like using a power grinder on the place where the gasket sits, which you are NEVER supposed to use power tools on things like that because of the damage it can cause, but if you do use them make sure to look for uneven distribution of the pattern of wear from the tool which when you put the gasket on i saw a lot of uneven distribution of the pattern from the tool,and just to say if i can see it on the camera you could probably see it on your end and if you did not bother to fix it then you are going to have problems such as leakage, spills, loss in oil pressure, and most of all oil everywhere, also when you welded that piece on that mounting bracket the weld would hold for a little bit then break, if you wanted a good weld you should have used a stick welder for that not a wire/tig welder since tig welders can not do the size of weld like a stick welder can
@@vayabroder729 oops, you are right. I also watch Let'sDig18 and woof at his dog Winston. Must have popped up in the autocorrect. Thanks! And Woof to Walter. Hey, it worked this time!

Hi John, Can you elaborate more about the magneto Gap please? Also the way you recharge the magnet, how did you know if your recharged them enough as well? I love your Video.
The book has the allowable gap clearances I checked them and they were good. The magnets got noticeable stronger by feel but I didn’t try to measure the difference in anyway. It was just much harder to remove the magneto after charging the magnets👍
please dont take this as a criticism because i'm just curious, but did i see it right that you didnt use a torque wrench on the rod caps? could it be that there isn't even a torque spec. for them?
No torque specs for anything on a model T and the bolts have cotter pins. Chances are you wouldn’t be able to get the spec and line up the hole for the cotter pin. It was fine a hundred years ago, should be fine today👍

I thought this was very interesting the rebuild shows a forgotten model t and the dc generating system slaved to the drive shaft which is exactly the tech we are rediscovering with our device....Why do you think it was forgotten or suppressed...Not a conspiracy but ford consulted with Nicola Tesla often in fact they felt the model t was for the masses...

I have rebuilt a few model T engines plus model A early Chevy 4 cylinders a lot of later model car and tractor I have never ever seen such shitty ever did not check a thing yes the model T never had any torque specs but all bolts have a torque spec what is the air gap between fly wheel and magneto ring could not believe how dirty the inside of the block was just back from machine shop by the way i am in my mid 60"s
Sounds like you have a lot more experience than me. I'm not a mechanic, just a guy working on his own cars in his own garage. I definitely would not call this an engine rebuild. This was more of a deep cleaning with some new seals. The valve seats had pitting so they were reground, and the manual says to replace the rings every 10k miles so they got replaced as well. Otherwise it's a stock engine. Thanks for watching!
