- Well today unfortunately I am sharing the McCulloch supercharger blow up fiasco. As you can tell it wasn't what we expected to happen and we are hoping to get everything squared away so we can race it this weekend.

I dont care what is said but the Cresent Wrench has saved the world multiple times LOL
It seriously has!
To quote Sturgill Simpson, "Sometimes you blast off, sometimes you just smoke!" That supercharger is awesome, and now lubricated nicely! Matt from Iron Trap is running one on his RPU, he might be able to help with advice. Loved the whine, going to be an awesome addition to the RPU! Go Kelly and RAC, keep moving forward! A-and you just got me as a subscriber!
Thank you so much!!
‘THATS’ a supercharger!!!
I never realised! I thought I’d was an air filter.
That’s soooo cool.
What kind of supercharger is it.
Literally never seen anything like that in my life.
Good luck with it.
It’s a mcculloch!
I had a friend that needed a rebuilt engine installed in a El Camino so I thought it would be a quick project and said ok. I install the engine and start it up. Oil gauge is going up to sixty lbs. I start looking for leaks and it's pouring out bottom of the bell house. I shut it down and get a light to check it out. Rear main ok oil galley plugs in place. Pull the engine back out and removed the flywheel think a cracked block. Low and behold no cracks but the mechanic left out the camshaft plug which allowed the oil to flow out. Went for a plug and installed it and put engine back in and got it running. I told owner no guarantee when he started it and charge the mechanic for reinstall. The life and times of a mechanic. I comes with the territory. Good luck with the seal. Bob in North Idaho. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Damn what a bummer but it's not the wind I hope u three get it fixed still auger awesome thank u for sharing 😂
Haha definitely was a bummer!
sounded cool
local bearing supply shop might be able to match up a seal for it
if trav doesnt have one
I've forgotten a seal before, makes an exiting smoke show.Makes a great video too.
We didn’t know! Haha it’s something ..
Exciting!!!!
🤘🏻🤘🏻
That Video Was Smoke’n That’s Real Hot Rod Stuff 👍
Haha it sure was a smokin video! 😂💨
If everything went right, all mechanics would be very hungry and bored. Hope you win the leak fight😎
True haha!
Good times
The old missing oil seal problem 😢minor stuff
Cool palm tree tat mAn
Great video always 👍 sometimes S just happens right?
Thank you!! Haha it’s always something
My father had one of those squirrel cage superchargers for probably 40 years
The smoke arrived in england!!! 🇬🇧❤
😂😂
Were you able to get a seal for the supercharger? Sure will be watching for a follow up on this episode. BTW, cool vintage part, great project.
Yes! Still no luck lol.. thinking I’ll have the update tomorrow
You must have the best neighbors in the world !
We do
Awesome stuff and shit happens
Sure does haha
It was still a cool video. I just hope I didn’t ruin the engine get that ceiling started again learning process.
We’re digging into it today, hopefully a simple fix
They probably filled the engine with oil for storage
any day in the daze/ ride cool
maby block is cracked internally somewhere or a bad gasket
10:01 What did you call that? We call it a Crescent Wrench in the South!
He calls it a fits all haha
Yikes...
Agreed lol
Don't worry Kelly. All good. Its not an electric car.
First start ups are like a box of chocolates.
As long as you don't do a Darth Vader quote with that mask on, all good.
"Fits all"??? That's a shifter!!!!!
At least you didn't get to using some vise grips.
Haha you are so right!
@@KellyBuilds We once did a engine start up and blew the fuel line off and had a fire ball in a carport and a fire ball rolled along the roof for 10 mts before flaming out.
Omg!!
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Another night shift, another bad seal.
as the story always goes lol
its been tipped and tossed for decades maybe its been stored with oil in the cylinders not a big deal pull the plugs and the coil wire turn it over
....keeping the mosquitoes away....
That’s all!
13:59 You can take your mask off now! 🤣😂 But maybe put it back on when they go to start it again.
I’m paranoid! 😂
It’s a hotrod…… use a pair of women’s tights like they did in the day :) 👍🏻
I mean how hot rod rat rod is that!
It's not always easy is it? I have one of those superchargers and missing the generator/ tensioner mount. Anyway to get a closeup of that? Thank you
Haha it’s never easy! I’ll ask trav for a pic
If it smokes don’t mean that it broke. And yes I called crescent wrench 🔧. You will get everything figured out
Haha love that!
Travis, it seems you have a ring problem, did you see this engine run prior to installing it, if not you are working with a pig in a poke. Hope the problem is a simple one to fix.
If there is this, all important, seal missing, I would want to check to know how the rest of the engine is...👴🧐🤔
Hopefully we figure it out today
