I just gave one of those away this past summer… could barely get rid of it after my 455 swap. ‘69 was a good year for the Buick small block too… it had higher compression. Nice video btw.
Dang those engines are hard to find. I've become attached to the engine. It feels like it's part of the car still. Hopefully we'll bring it back to health, but for now it's all dream vs reality
Stick with it and it will happen. I bought my GS in 2013 and my 455 engine in 2014. Finally installed the engine in the car in 2022.
For parts call ta performance thay have good stuff for that 350 Buick.
That place is awesome!
Thanks, I have to change timing cover on mine, 72 skylark convertible. 350 2bbl. Never done this. You helped me. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!! Thank you for watching!
Nice keep it coming man motivation watching an learning 👀🍿💪
Cool thank you!!
Literally any late 60’s early 70’s car I bought in early 80’s looked just like that under the valve covers!
Oh noooo
Thanks! Now I have a little more of a clue on how the timing cover ex all goes together for my buick 350, hopefully in better shape, but has a bit of a coolant leak… cheers!
Thanks for watching! Good luck!
Nice work Lang.
Lol a lot of work to be done
Thank you for the content. What size bolts did you use to mount your engine to the stand? I'll be tackling this task real soon.
That gray color that you are seeing is lead deposits from leaded gasoline.
Wow that's interesting! You learn something new everyday!
Has this guy heard of a break over bar ? I saw part 2 and he was basically using the same small ratchet and occasionally using a cheater bar. I was waiting for the ratchet to break and him falling on the shop heater. SAFETY FIRST Lang.
LOL how else am I gonna test my tools warranty 😅
Usually when you blow a head gasket the piston where the gasket blows will be somewhat cleaned by water combusting in the cylinder.
However it doesn't look like the head gaskets are blown.
It should not have water in be the engine unless it was left outside and opened somehow.
I assume at this point that the missing tube or breather, let water in since water goop was on the valve spring side of the head and made its way down into the block. Unfortunately the engine has been sitting since I took it apart because I had a bunch of other projects going on. But now car season is coming up soon, so hopefully I'll have an update on what the plan is moving forward!
Although these engines were a good design for the most part , one area where the engineers messed up big time was with the oiling system . The oil pumps in these engines are notorious for failing , resulting in catastrophic engine failure . The pump gears rub against the aluminum timing cover , which wears it down . TA Performance sells a redesigned timing cover which eliminates the problem . Same deal with the 430 - 455 .
When in normal use up to 4000 rpm there are no issues with the oiling system for a very very long time.
I need part 2
Soon!!!!! Thanks for watching!
i consider this the grandfather of the LS
Very interesting! Lots of opinions about the Buick engines
I realize this vid is over a year ago but I noticed there is paper towel chunks in the spark plug holes..Are you trying to keep debris from getting into your engine?Really?
That was from when the engine was still in the car I believe. Never took em out. Hasn't failed me yet!
You likely have a blown head gasket. That was not uncommon for them to blow a head gasket because people would run by them hot.
That is a mess, oh that stink!
😆😆😆
I can smell it from here.
