- Half the cylinders, half the work? If only! The flathead four-cylinder engine in our “Swap to Street” 1930 Ford Model A was leaking oil like crazy and wasn’t running particularly well, either. That made it a perfect subject for our popular Redline Rebuild time-lapse video series. What took us months of long days in the shop is distilled down to a high-paced video that captures EVERY part of the rebuild process.

Whoever's doing your videos should be given a raise.....
Ben for president!
Outstanding aren’t they ?,
I want a BTS about those time lapse motorized camera sliders
Dude I was just thinking that, the editing in this video is probably the best I’ve ever seen.
Very seldom do we see anything that is totally original. The work was (is) enjoyable and entertaining simply put it was a great job. I liked it.
According to the owners manual these engines need to be rebuilt every 100 years
Lol
1949 8n with an atomic 4. 77 years old and has had nothing done to it. Runs like a top
@@fordrestored4646 I have a 48 8N that sat in a field for 15 years. Only major thing I've done to it is upgrade electrical from 6V to 12V, and rebuilt the carb and distributor. Runs like a champ even on the coldest of Montana winter days.
That's Funny😂!
That was a great missed opportunity to put insert bearings in it...
My Grandpa allways said "there is nothing more beautiful than to watch an expert at work doing what he does".....truer statememts never uttered...thank you
im 27 and i found a 1930 ford model a for 6k a few miles from me. iv rebuild motorcycles for a few years and since iv became a engineer. i dont know why but i keep getting pulled towards old cars simple motors and just the calm road. something about being able to complete rebuild a motor with a garage shop set up is just nice. such a simple car and treat it right it will last forever. no complex electronics nothing crazy. best part keep it basic and u can have your kids working on it learning the confidence to tackle much greater mechanical feats.
someone knows how to do an engine rebuild

Dont think I've ever seen a better set up machine shop.
@@mvdeanoThe shop was so well laid out and the job so professional, I think I was weeping a bit tward the end.
always respected people who value retro cars and know how to carefully restore them.
Those engines were built heavy duty, and many still survive. Thank you for preserving history
The filming and editing that went into this video are impeccable. Great job.
Dont forget that annoying tune!
I realize it would add a little time to the rebuild, but was sorely missing the narrator describing what was happening in the video. A couple places I had no clue what they were doing.
🐖
@@trexmidnite in terms of car/truck repair videos, ive heard much worse lol.
@@danielharper635 Im glad they didnt narrate it, cause it wasnt the point of the vid. 99.99999% of people watching aren't going to be rebuilding a Model A anytime soon

As an engineer I'm always fascinated by the design of old early engines, Cool vid.
Amazing how many originals will still run and go considering they didn’t even have a oil filter on them originally. A tuff little engine !!
It's because in vintage engines like this the tolerances are not very tight
Alex Nather also they were built to last a long time
Well it’s a lawn mower engine times 4
@@alexnather7614 that is true. Old tractors engines are the same. Low HP low compression loose tolerance. I got a 1953 Farmall that will fire on the first hit every time after all these decades. They was made by Continental Engine. Pretty similar to the Ford engines .
Drove one in high school..
It was a pickup!
Wow!! The amazing stop motion photography, the amazing mechanical knowledge makes for an amazing video. It’s no wonder that your subscriber numbers are growing so quickly. Thank you very much!
They do not. They have literally painted internal parts. That is the most idiotic thing I have seen done in a long time. The rest of you mouth breathers on here, that missed that should stop ever commenting on videos!!!
@@Stowell1984 Pretty sure that's an oil shedding coating to help with oil return among other things- not regular ole paint. Their work looks top notch.
@@briank2319 I had considered that, how ever, why would that be necessary on an engine that's not turning high rpm? It doesn't look the normal black color either. Glad you have faith in them though.
@@Stowell1984 that motor will be fine a few oil filter changes and what ever paint comes off will be gone
@@Stowell1984 I caught it right off and wondered if it was Rust-Oleum which was used in nitro dragsters in the '70s to seal the inside of the blocks. You're the insecure, know - it - all, low grade moron, mouth breathing idiot!
5:42 With a oem style front crank seal like that Its amazing its even possible to seal it up. Well done. Love the bearing casting work also!
That's probably where it was leaking out of originally
First time I’ve seen these bearings done. My dad used to talk about doing it, but my cars have all had shell bearings!
I've helped rebuild several of Model A engines with my 84 year old father-in-law. Each time I learn a bit more of the "tricks of the trade" he knows. He pours his own blend of babbitt bearings. He's a genius when it comes to these engines.
Pouring the babbit bearings was a complete surprise to me. Were all bearings made in that way back then? Incredible.
More amazing is the fact that the knowledge and equipment still exists to do that kind of work. Incredible.
Henry Ford would cry tears of joy.
@David Priscak a great man indeed.
@David Priscak and?
Knowing Henry Ford... he might not appreciate this one well given how he hated the Model A and its engine for all its worth...
Here we go!! Henry would be proud! He’d even love the time lapse. Ha!! 😁
Yes where ever Henry is, he is PROUD! If for nothing else: the Creation of the Model A! His Swan Song!!! ...Newk from Kentucky
Awesome video, guys! I wish I had the knowledge and resources to do this kind of overhaul to my Model A engine. Must be an awesome feeling to fire it up for the first time and hear it purr after all that work!

I love seeing how much care is put into preserving these pieces of history. Thanks for sharing the process with us!
Pouring those Babbitt main bearings are a lost art now days.
I just posted a question what was going on with the bearings, and I thought it was lead?
Looked like aluminum?
It is and it isn’t, heavy industry/oilfield Babbitt bearings are still made daily. Most modern pumpjacks still utilize hand poured bearings
I was wondering what that was. I have a lot to learn still.
My Chevy 216 from 1947 spun a bearing. I could have had it fixed but opted to go for a 235ci engine better. More power, 40 lbs oil pressure apposed to 13 lbs, and about 30 more hp quite a bit more torque. Like you said, lost art for the everyday man.
Properly restored without the need for tons of unnecessary chrome.
my neighbor just asked if I wanted to work on a 1930 Model A 5-window coupe. I told him I know nothing about the engine, etc. I may have to take a look at it. Engine seems easy to work on, (plenty of room). I work on motorcycles so it is a stretch for me. I think this is right up your alley! Dale Swineheart, DeKalb, IL
Videos involving engines like this only makes me wonder why we ever thought "more complicated is better." At times we all enjoy the related benefits of todays technology, but videos like this also make it clear that ignoring the "simple tech" of the past and relegating it to the shelf in favor of "advancement" isn't always wise.
Tetraethyllead was a lead based gasoline additive used by older engines to reduce/prevent engine knock. As you can imagine this was not good for humans or the environment.
"In the mid-20th century, scientists discovered TEL caused lead poisoning and was toxic to the human brain, especially in children.[5] The United States and many other countries began phasing out the use of TEL in automotive fuel in the 1970s."
That is one example. As technology advances, it becomes more complicated. Many of us can start a camp fire on our own, no one can build a computer "on our own.". The OBD II system and catalytic system are other automotive examples of excellent advancements in automotive technology that have greatly benefited the United States.
Finally! Another masterpiece! Great job Hagerty 🙏🏼
Двигатель - легенда! Именно на них ездили советские полуторки до войны и после. Спасибо тебе Генри!
Так ведь на ГАЗе было лицензионное производство Ford-А и Ford-АА, только под маркой ГАЗ
Yes, comrade
Газ 51 очень похож.
Glad to learn something new!
I love old motors like that they always fun to work on. And to last this long is amazing. 😊
100% professional job from start to finish, no expense spared. 60 years ago I was in the middle of a 5-year motor mechanics apprenticeship here in the UK, so I recognise all the parts of that engine. In the 1960s we were repairing pre-war cars as well as more modern ones. Great stuff.
Probably some of the best videos on CZcams! This is pure therapy. I think I could watch this all day and wouldn't have any problem with it.
A very well spent 8 minutes of my life, amazing video👌
Wow this is the most amazing engine rebuild video I've ever seen. I dont know how much real time went into this project but I can imagine it was a lot and I truly appreciate your effort, keep up the great work!
Depends on how long it takes for parts to show up. The straight 8 took almost a year meanwhile the mini engine wasn't very long at all.
The rebuild was bad-ass, especially with the attention to detail. But the stop animated motion was kick-ass, way too go guys. Hats off to y'all!
Seriously how can you not like these videos for real
I love Ford Model A's - one of my all time favorite cars
The way the video is done is amazing. I love the stop motion intertwined with time lapse! Very enjoyable to watch! Thx
Forget the video and the editing...... The amount of skill that man possesses is priceless.
He builds 11000 hp top fuel motors. That only live 30 seconds and get rebuilt again then run another pass rebuilt again every rod and piston come out of top fuel motors every pass
Seeing this made me feel nostalgic my dad used to have a '31 ford AA flatbed. Its super cool to see the inner workings of one now
These guys and girls are nuts. Ardun heads, billet cranks, and 7000 rpm or more at Bonneville or dirt tracks. What fun!! Neat video.
Great vid, so rewarding, great to see no air tools being used for disassembly and reassembly, old school respect , subscribed
6:29 If only I could drink beer and watch myself working on my motorcycle..
Just record it wtf
@@dylanvance96 о, ты тоже смотришь WTFакт? Мне тоже нравиттся етот канал.
The engine must feel nice for getting a fresh rebuild
And this awrsome old roar.
... same here... I almost hope to see it wagging it's tail pipe 🤣🤣🤣
That engine was not originally built to these tolerances. The tooling didn't exist yet. It's literally better than new.
@@BlackBladeGroM all that tooling may not of been around yet but they could keep the tolerances very well they were making precision items back then that were hand fitted look at the 1911 pistol many modern companies make them and have excellent tooling but if you don't know how to fit the parts to the right tolerance they don't work well it was ford who used guage blocks from Carl Edvard Johansson for his assembly lines and bought the company from him guage blocks are used for the calibration of measuring equipment used in machine shops, such as micrometers, sine bars, calipers, and dial indicators
@@samellowery yeah, but not like today, that engine runs better then it ever did
I was hooked. The perfect way to re-motorise a Model A. I've watched this build from start to finish and admire the professional attitude that existed throughout.
Mechanics as another of the fine arts.
I think there is no engine you wouldn't rebuild to factory condition, you are amazing. It would be awesome to see you guys do a wankel or a Ford 429 shotgun :D
Wankel motorcycle engine for sure
its actually better then factory used modern tools
@@cc9z I'm sure you're right, it's probably been rebuilt to closer tolerances, and maybe even in a cleaner shop.
A lot of older engines benefit greatly from more modern machining and precision. Usually better than what the original factory could even imagine.
@@masterspacetime2826 you can kiss him and figure it out
Вы парни просто афигенные! Была бы честь работать с вами:)
Our dad had a 1926 Ford touring car he taught my brothers and I lessons about working on cars with varying results. One lesson I took away from it that I never want to lap valves by hand again. He would have loved to see your shop!
unbelievable . I didn't even imagine recovering this Ford vehicle... here in the interior of São Paulo, when I was young, I traveled in a FORD 29 for kilometers, it was pure nostalgia for dirt roads, rain and a lot of mud.💖👏👏👏👏👏
It's amazing to see the bearings get leaded in-place like that! Wow! Old tech.
Yeah. I'm glad that technology got obsolete.
You brought a tear to me eye
Wow, I can tell the guys at Ron's Machine Shop really take pride in their work. It was awesome to see the babbitting process.
Seeing an engine get the full rebuild treatment is a wonderful thing. Beautiful!
I just love this duo, one is an expert mechanic & the other is a master in film making. Absolutely amazing work guys!
Now i know why hagerty is so good when it comes to rebuilding engine, there is a ghost helping them. 😁😄😆
Actually, they allow employees to help restore these vehicles. My daughter helped work on a 69 Mustang fastback. She is loving it working there!
My grandpa had a Model A he modified and raced in hill climbs. He used a 1928 block, bored and stroked it, and increased the compression ratio. Fun little car to ride in. Lots of good memories.
My only criticism is that I'd like to hear the engine come to life when it's done, that's the whole payoff of watching a strip down and rebuild of an engine, that's the reward to the viewer, hearing that sweet sound, it's the reason we hung around till the end.
Each one of these videos always leave me with a big smile, they're always amazing!!!
I like how he was sitting on the bumper drinking coffee watching the new guy put it together...😂
Warrentheo im jealous i didnt come across an amazing teacher like this when i was a kid.
@@jackmehoff2363 lol, take a second look at the "student" 😆
I’m lucky to have Ron’s shop just a short drive from my house. Will take my 1930 Model A engine there when it needs a rebuild job.
Have to say, you are A+ at your craft.
Really, really impressive work.
So satisfying to see those old snarling beasts breathe new life!
Excellent.
After all the machine work - this will probably be the most precise blue printed model A engine on the road. No way they could repeat tolerances like that in the 1930s.
You want to bet? My grandfather had his own garage in Dearborn. Henery Ford actually purchased the whole building and had it moved to the Henry Ford Museum. I still have a few wrenches from that garage as well as a couple light bulbs from the lights.
Don't see what you're point is here, but ok, cool I guess.
RC Hobbyist Extreme what? Go back to your toys kid
so much ego in this thread. lmao take a chill pill you guys
@@joeladzim1225 have you seen some of my work? No! Hobbiest can be the most detailed people around fella. I have seen some scale model engines made from Hobbyists that are every bit as like the real thing. Toys? You clearly understand NOTHING. Scale models were built of full sized ships so the builders could visualize what it was they were building and enabled changes to the final real build without costing. You need to read more and shut your yap!
Interesting thing. The other day I saw a Model A (the subject of this rebuild) with a Buick Nail Head in it (the subject of your last rebuild).
A cool car and a cool motor. But you can't beat the original flat 4 for cool factor.
Never get tired of watching this. It’s almost like watching it for the first time everytime I watch it. Master engine builder, expert time lapse videographer! The best!
When I watched this in its entirety it reminded me of the time I had to change out the windshield washer reservoir in my Toyota Rave4. Nothing major other than completely removing the front end body panels in entirety. Thank you Toyota engineers. At current hourly cost per hour that's a 4-5 hour job. Approximately $600 in just labor alone. Parts? You're at their mercy. Lol
Love the Stop-Motion-Animation Very Nice That Overhaul is good for another 20 or 30 years easily Hagerty are definitely the best in the Business
Didn't know anyone did Babbitt bearings anymore.
Except Keith Fenner!
Is that what the lead was for?
I have very little knowledge of the flathead style engines...
I'm used to conventional bearing engines.
@@jamesburris4078 Babbitt used in an engine bearing contains little if any lead. There are Babbitt alloys that do contain lead, but those are only used for very low speed industrial bearings, not engines. Modern insert bearings also have a Babbitt lining.
Still used in really big bearings. Most power stations run them in their turbine/generator train.
But yes I'm a bit suprised there are an engine recco shops out there still doing it.
The best production quality I’ve seen👌
Sometimes the bolts would just unscrew themselves and jump into his hand. That's some serious talent!
Love that car,
Almost 100 years .
love the music you choose goes great with such a perfect art form

Excellent, my mate had an A model in the mid 50s
Such a good car for its time.
Always started by the 4th compression.
Those are well trained head nuts the way they came out of that hole and went directly to their respective head studs!! Good disipline!!.
Give the Y-block some love! Would love to see a rebuild, the videos are always so well made. Keep it up.
1:00 that intake/exhaust design is giving me aneurysms. Granted it's like a century old but still...
Also that engine will probably work a better than it did when it was brand new.
What is the rectangular opening in front of the manifold for? Any idea? (edit; could it be an intake for a cab heater of some sort?)
High tec like a Harley......
@@Brian13356 if you’re talking about the big slotted rectangle on top of the exhaust manifold, I believe it was to assist in cooling, a heat sink of sorts. These motors didn’t have a water pump, they relied on hydrodynamics to circulate water through the engine, and I’m sure that wasn’t sufficient enough, so I believe that is just to aid in cooling the engine.
The intake/exhaust are coupled to keep the intake hot for better fuel air mix, the finned rectangular piece is to keep the exhaust not going seriously hot
@@sundstrom193 You're actually quite wrong. These engines had a water pump that bolted to the head. The finned piece on the exhaust header is a dealer option. You ran that header with a special shroud, and could have a heater in these cars.
This guys of Hagerty are amazing.
Incredible level of knowledge not just to rebuild an engine but to show it like real 'art'.
Extremely well-made video for a legendary engine. Thanks for saving our past so beautifully.
Fantastic video and kudos to the video editor well done!
Man behind the camera and editing has really do amazing job, very well done.
Wonderful to watch . You are also the one who knows what he is talking about , that makes you stand out above the other channels .
Cool old stuff. Not all as us old people know of those Engine's and Transmission's gear boxes are in Complete cars. Some ate in old Barns. I had a neighbor named Shelby Cook. Long passed away. He took a old A motor and drive and used it to power a chopper mixer to make Hog feed. It still worked in the 1990s. I miss him.
I love how you used the old flathead V8 to pull-start the Model A
henry ford would wish he had such a shop in the 30s.
Not really, his way was of efficient production with the lowest cost possible. When their cars ended up in junkyards they would get them back inspect all of it and cut back on what was lasting longer than what people kept them for to lower Manufacturing cost.
@@bryanmartinez6600 I'm talking more in the context of total precision. And frankly it's more because of car design where the chassis of the vehicle is made from alternate materials instead of iron and steel which significantly decreases the need for excess metal which was earlier needed to strengthen the vehicle. No it was more in the model Ts design which had excess metal which was recycled. The difference I was talking about was how we can make almost 30 times more power from a 4 cyl of the same displacement just because of the quality of the tools and workforce.
That's actually like watching a great painting.... Only more fascinating.... Extremely satisfying to watch skilled hands at work, especially when it's restoring something to give pleasure to future generations.
I have a deep appreciation for (but no personal experience with) engine rebuilds, antique cars or anything having to do with machine shops. It must be true joy to accomplice so much with your own hands and see it through to completion. I was most impressed with the camera work and the occasional stop-motion animation. Very nice! I enjoyed this video very much. -Phil in Indy
6:16 nice touch
Can you rebuild RB26DETT engine?
That's one bad ass rebuild!!! Simple but it did the job! That engine helped build America!! Wow! Great job guys!!
Love how simple engine is, even in a timelapse I, a not so experienced person, could identify every part, what it does, and how it does it, really really cool.
The best time lapse of CZcams!
It looks amazing i wish there were shops like this one in my area. Amazing!
Where can I find a mechanic that works this fast?
Great video. Neat touch having the nuts and spark plugs March down the block and install themselves.
REAL MECHANICS , REAL MECHANIC SHOP , REAL TECH , not your ordinary “part changer” 👍
I love these videos so much!!! Art of engines. Bravo!!
Please dont custom this car to big tire and bagged like hotrod car, keep it stock.
Yes to this! I'm tired of seeing too many ruined A's now a days.
She's fine as is ...hope it stays that way it looks like fun , and also like how it was done way back when.
Damn right!! There aren't many of these old girls surviving nearly a century later. Doing that just looks like hell and should be a crime imo.
25 years ago I rebuild one of these and what huge was my surprise when I realized that the rod bearing was made from leather!!!! Great video as always. Thanks very much.
Not stock. That means the rod bearings failed. An emergency fix was some leather from your belt. Only meant to get you home!
Wow! 1913. That engine is over a hundred years old, and yet the basic technology behind it really hasn’t changed all that much.
Très beau travail 👌
J'imagine même pas le temps de tournage ! Grand chapeau 😜
"I've got so much room to work on my Volkswagen.
"Can you sleep in the engine compartment? Try working on my Model T"
I literally sat inside my engine bay to do a valve lash on my 350. Not the most comfortable place to be but still
Got to love the old Motors, I had a 1950 International pickup truck with a straight 6. the rod bearings locked up on me while I was going across town I live in Green Bay Wisconsin.. so I got under the truck the next morning after we towed it home. Dropped the oil pan , drop the rod bearings, push the Pistons up, took some emory paper and sanded all the journals down. put new rod bearings in it with some plastic gauge underneath the ones that I sanded hard ... ran the truck another 8 years . everybody told me that's never going to work , that has to be Precision machined...maybe on a motor nowadays, but not in an old International pickup truck or any of the other old Motors.. so the Tolerance on your motor, how perfect it is .... from your rebuild.... that Motors got to feel like a brand new baby. Running good... like I said I ran that truck run another 8 years and then the guy that got it from me, is probably still driving it and they're still no rod knock....
I like all your rebuilds, but this was by far the best. I would own this over any of the big modern engines you have done. Would love to hear it run in person.
