- Needless to say, my "Good" running engine had some issues. The original plan was to simply clean it up and repaint. The plan obviously changed but in the long run, I am glad i found the issue early.
Disclaimer: This was a basic low budget garage rebuild. I am not a professional so follow along at your own risk haha. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Cool engines! I love the look and the sound of them. I really dig that green. Beautiful colour choice.
I've always liked the way flathead V8s look. And even though they don't breathe like an overhead valve engine, less valve train parts appeals to my "keep it simple" philosophy. Flatheads sound cool too!😎
I can't stress this enough please bolt the engine on the exhaust flanges like he did here. I'm so glad you did it the right way
I was very much interested in this rebuild when the title said 1936 flat head.
Turns out the engine that he’s resurrecting is a much more desirable later model with preferred distributor set up.
I have yet to get mine on the bench/stand and out of the 36 1-1/2 ton truck.
Supposedly sometime in 1936 they went to a replaceable main bearing as opposed to poured Babbitt bearings.
Beautiful!
Love the sound of old flatheads. You have mad skills!! Great stuff!!
This was a really cool video. Thanks for the time and effort put into this. I like the time lapse assembly creativity you put into it. Nice job.
Appreciate it!
It makes me cry when I see a ball hone used on the cylinders.😥
Did I miss or was there nothing done with the valve train?
But I have a love for the flathead at my age of 75.
It's funny how you can see some people fearlessly jump into an engine like this. I had a cracked water jacket on the passenger side head last year. Thought this would be a good opportunity to pull both heads and clean them up while while putting on the new one. Ended up breaking a head bolt on the one with the broken water jacket and was down the next 3 weeks trying to get the bolt out of the block worried I'd ruined the engine. Never ended up pulling the other head after that. Now I have one pretty head and one dirty one
Oh I just got finished a few months ago putting mine back together after a broken head bolt. Happens to everyone haha. I converted to studs
Amazing job...looks like you did a lot of work on the frame and undercarriage that wasn't in the last video.what was the process on derusting the frame and suspension? ..Keep up the awesome restoration work, it's a great teaching video for others, great to see the engine start right up immediately !
Thank you. I degreased & pressure washed the frame, wire wheeled the entire thing, cleaned, used rust encapsulater & then used an epoxy paint.
Cool series of videos..who plays the background music,,,that song in Part 2 was great!
Thank you. It’s just the free music on CZcams studios haha.
Great job, did your bores show any wear? Did you replace the pistons?
There was some but surprisingly no ring ridge. I replaced all rings and bearings the same size and just cleaned everything up. Obviously not a perfect rebuild but not worse than it was.
This is not a 1936. 1938 or later.
Correct. It’s an 8BA ‘49-53. It was never stated to be a 36 Flathead, just part of the series 👍
thought you didn't know anything about fatheads ffs man
I don’t know any more than I’ve researched since starting this project. I’ve learned a lot along the way but still a tiny fraction of the knowledge that most Flathead enthusiasts have.
@@jonathanwood1984 well mate you know a lot more than i do lol im restoring one in the uk good luck your doing well
@@johnnymercer9074 haha appreciate it. We all start somewhere 👍
That's one of the worst rebuilds I've ever seen
