- A lot to cover in this video. Starting off is Mark's Willys L134 Engine rebuild. It is almost finished and I will get it mated to the rebuilt T90 and Dana 18 that I rebuilt as well. It will then go into the test stand for proper break in. A quick look at some Willys F 134 engines that I am rebuilding and they will be for sale very soon if anyone needs on. Lou's Willys M38 Engine did not clean up at .040" so I have to set up and rebore to .060.
Scotts Jeep 258 and Travis Willys M38 are next to be done. Not shown is Brian's L134 that is honed and ready to be cleaned and assembled.
The Hercules engine is almost finished and it was a real hassle of a rebuild. Bad bearings, poor quality parts and more led to a very difficult rebuild. The crankshaft had to be ground again and it matched to each bearing which is a different size. No more Hercules engines for me !!!
The tooling that I was working on for the Sip Hydroptic 8 Jig bore machine is finished and I show the three different sizes that I made and will test them soon. A combination of negative and positive inserts of different sizes should do everything I need, but I will test them to compare finishes and speed of cut.
Out in the fabrication shop I have the fuel tank for Scott's Jeep CJ8 Scrambler ready for sandblasting so that I can weld it together and give the inside a coat of fuel tank sealer. Also in the fab shop is the Dana 44 axle assembly that I will be shortening soon. My jig, that I have used to shorten many axles has a Dana 25 on it for measurement purposes. Hope to get to that project soon. Once the axle is shortened I will have to make some custom axle shafts. I have the dividing head out and will show the spline cutting if anyone has any interest in that type of content.
Finally I am setting up one of my storage containers as quick welding shop. I built a bunch of saw horses in the woodshop and today I am loading them into the container so I can build a 48 foot long bench. On this bench I will make a jig for my steel trusses so each one comes out exactly the same. Everything takes time but I am gaining on all the projects in the shop and around the house and farm.
Thanks for watching, see you on the next one.

Brian, can't wait to see how those projects turn out. Thanks for sharing all the videos you make
Happy Easter! Love the F heads. Outstanding to watch someone that knows how to do things!
Many thanks, I love the F heads as well
Happy Easter Brian and Maria, I would love to see the axel making video that would be awesome. I appreciate you taking the time to put out videos they have helped me immensely with working on my 49 wagon
coming soon, gathering everything I need now.
Hey Brian, Happy Easter to you and your family.
The idea of selling your rebuilt engines is a great idea!
Love to see a video on making those axles for the 44
Gathering parts and materials now . coming soon
Can’t tell you how helpful your videos have been for my 1959 CJ6 restoration! Thanks for what you do for us! Can you give me a product recommendation for coating the exhaust manifold? Happy Easter!
I use Bill Hirsch exhaust manifold paint on my engines. Just search for it online and the company will pop right up.
Wow lots going on as always! A great update for sure! May God bless you with health and strength to keep working and doing all the amazing things you do! Take care
Thanks very much, a lot going on and hopefully things will come together easily this spring/summer
Brian my wife's 1967 Tuxedo Park, CJ5A with 225 CI V6 and off center 44 DANA came with a 3.73 rear gears with power-lock.
I have a set of 3.73 gears in a model 27 and dana 44 as well. I need the larger 70 to hold the weight of jeep and welding equipment. I don't ever like the model 27 and won't use it in any of my vehicles.
Happy Easter Brian! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Same to you!
!Happy easter Brian and María!
Same to you!
Happy Easter Brian, I'm looking forward to the 44 build as well as everything else. working on my 3b today hopefully she will be back going by June. Thanks bud.
Always trying to find time to get that 44 done. More coming soon
You have a lot going on, those motors look good. That gas tank will weigh a few pound's, but it won't be some cheap garbage being made that you have to question. I don't know why people question the stuff you build, because you do so many of these Jeeps, and know them well enough to come up with a mod that will work. Anyway, it all looks good. Happy Easter, and G-d bless.
always great t o hear from you. There will always be haters out there and I get more than my share of them daily.
Good video, Brian. 👍👍👍
i'd love to see a video on cutting the splines.
MJ
You are definitely doing a very good job keep going
Lots to get done but short on filming time. More coming
Happy Easter to you and Maria. Great video. I dont believe you when you said " in my spare time " I don't think you ever sleep or eat. Your videos have helped me so much
spare time is always in short supply but I am making progress
I find your videos interesting
thanks for watching
I would like to see your process on axel work.
Not disagreeing whatsoever on sawhorse height. Just thought I’d throw out there that I’ve found it convenient the last few horses to make them 1/4” shorter than my tablesaw height.
And happy Easter to you, too
Everybody has a different height that they need for saw horses. That is the beauty of wood, just make what you need.
I want to see you make the axels.
will show it as soon as axle is shortened and I am ready to measure and build them
Happy Easter Brian. Everything is looking great. Put 100 miles on the 38 today, running great. Going to try and make some Oak side rails for the Scram. Hope all is well.
Thanks Scott, hope you and your family have a great easter as well. Glad the m38 is still running strong for you
On those bits for the SIP heads... Did you grind the angled slots for the adjustment tang or mill them with a carbide end mill? I like the insert toolholder idea. Need to make a few bits for my SIP heads. Luckily I have bits to measure from to make more. Thanks. ----Doozer
I used a carbide end mill to get the slot perfect. Held material in an adjustable angle vise. My slot it just a few thousands over 7mm. I started with a 6mm end mill and made the slot a perfect 7mm wide. Too tight. Used a 7mm end mill and the .002 it cut oversize was perfect to the original part and it worked perfectly.
Hello Brian, everything looks good as usual. How much are you asking for a f head engine? I would like to see the process of making the axles. You and Maria have a happy Easter have yourselves a relaxing day.
The F heads are almost finished and I will get figuring what I have into them soon. If you think you might need on contact me directly at metalshaper@comcast.net
the response has been overwhelming and I only have 2 available at this time.
I'm interested in the Van Norman boring bar. What are you asking for it? Do you have any idea what shipping to NC would cost?
$850 for bar and tool kit. Remember the bar is stuck and will need to be inspected and rebuilt. Price reflects that problem. It is heavy and will have to be shipped by truck. Contact me directly at metalshaper@comcast.net if you have any interest and I can get your address and shipping quote.
I’ll take one L head engine please
Show it
will do
@@metalshaperJeep GOOD TO HEIR HOW WELL YOUR SIP MACHINE IS WORKING FOR YOU ITS REALY HARD TO FIND PROFESSIONAL PE9PLE LIKE YOU ANY MORE 👍👍
