- We knew going in, it was a dumb idea. The dead 318 In Big Richard, Kiwi's D100 that Dr. Art is taking on Power Tour is going to be replaced by a Hemi before the year is over, so we thought if we could get it fired up and running that might free things up and save us the trouble of a re-ring job on this temporary engine.
Well, this is how it went.

I'm just here to watch all the super mechanics in the comments 🤙
a little oil down the carb problem fixed :)
Don't need to be a mechanic to see he's clueless
@@philspear73 yeah, well I have no idea about vehicles and engines, plus I have a tiny member. its really small.
@@SweatyFatGuy Hey, it's short, but thin.
Yea, cause there are no mechanics to watch. Did he even check for spark first. Tony is a fraud
That starter didn't die, it was murdered. If this was the game Clue we would know Uncle Tony did it, in the garage, with a piece of wire.
LOL, yeah that was murder by severe torture.
lol
R.I.P starter, barely even knew ya.
I knew it was just a matter of time before that starter was toast. My rule is no more than about 4 or 5 cranks at a time, and if it won't start after about 7 or 8 intervals, then it's not going to happen. And of course first i either make sure the fuel system is doing its job, or I hook up a gas can with a fuel line to make sure she's getting fuel.
I pretty much broke in a cam on the starter motor on a Datsun, I'm very impressed with that old starter, still going strong.
barely knew ya, sure screwed ya :)
the first electric powered 318, lol
EV 18
How fitting at Doc electrics house!
i once had a 1975 Pinto try its best to die on me during the drive home. stuck at a busy intersection, but luckily it was a stick shift and this was still when cars didn't have an interruptor switch on the gas pedal. so 16 yr old me knew enough about cars to put her in First and crank away with the clutch out. the old starter on the side of the four banger had enough torque to push that car across the intersection (and engage the power steering). and apparently it had no choice but to start running again to get me home. died in an oil cloud the next day.
@@alertgasperhey man that’s a beautiful story
@@philipfromnorcal thanks, but i had the wrong year. it was a 1975 model--a Country Squire wagon in chartreuse and plastic wood. I figured out i could put an air mattress in back with the seat down and run down the east coast to FL in 24 hrs on weekends--just swap relief drivers at the South of the Border tourist trap in the Carolinas. i liked those little cars but my back is too old for that nonsense now.
The champ in this video was that starter.
I don't care that it didn't start. You gave me 45 minutes of solace pure bliss, a true escape from my miserable office job.
I’ve never seen anyone dump that much gas down the yap or run a starter that long 😂
I’m Totally With You ,I Was Taught Never Ever That Long !!! I Don’t Agree What They Are Trying To Accomplish By Washing The Rings To Loosen Them ,Rebuild The SOB !!!
Yea I have, an old friend no longer with us trying to get an old 302 going. Had the valve covers off making sure cam worked and a fireball came out crankcase he didn't need to do any hair grooming for a while. Eyelashes ,brows ,beard all of it gone in seconds. First thing I thought of watching this. RIP pops!
@@gregschultz2029 Tony was not giving up easy and Dr Art was a trooper to just stand there and let it happen ya kinda gotta do that for a CZcams video
@@blairhofmann3961 I know of someone who got seriously burned from the same thing. I see CZcamsrs do it all the time and some have burnt hair too . Tony did seem to hold his hand over the carb most of the time
@@throttlewatch4614Exactly
Curious as to why after hearing only one or two cylinders hit you didnt squirt a little oil in each cylinder to seal up the rings and boost compression?
Maybe because tony had oil already mixed with the gasoline in the squirt bottle?
I think Art probably already tried just cranking it over for 45 minutes
He said he was at it all day yesterday.
When you drain the oil, pour it in a gas tank. It will burn fine
That’s hilarious!
LOL😂
good line :) it's like a blonde made napalm.
On an old carbutated engine its ok, but don't try it on an injected engine.
I use to use old motor oil to get our wood stove burning good until the day my cousin changed his oil and gave it to me. It had gas in the oil and a lot 😂blew me back about four feet and that’s the day I stopped using old motor oil 😂😂😂😂
Lesson 1, keep cranking until you burn up the starter. Lesson 2 replace starter and try again for 45 minutes or figure out what smells like piss.😂😂
I did that to a 460 in a motorhome once. Kept dumping gas in it & trying to crank it becouse it would sound like it might go? And it did! Not the way I was intending! All that gas dumped past the pistons into the crankcase & it fired & the fire went past the piston into the crankcase! It was a explosion like I've never seen! We bailed out of that moterhome & hit the deck! It shot the plugs & oil breather out of my 2 acre yard!
pretty cool
BBFord60 r.i.p.😢
@@broke_dongle LOL! It was DOA. I just thought I could do better. Lol!
UT..i know you dont really like people watching you work, but t hank you for hanging in there!
WOW, I can't believe what I just watched the finest example of backassery possible.
That was painful.
I haven't face palmed and screamed at the screen this much for a long time
ditto with bells on, awful to watch
This is a new repair method called "repair by cranking".
I'm disappointed in you Tony. You are old enough and smart enough...to put oil in the cylinders while you had the plugs out. You would have gained enough compression to get her fired up, AND saved a starter.
I came here to post this.
Doesent take much oil to boost the compression
Plus a lot of time the rings pop back out after a little running
That's the one I was looking for Oil makes a big difference
I can't help but wonder if a couple squirts of motor oil in every cylinder , would have saved us all 45 mins of cranking lol , the closer it got to running, the blow by kinda went away
Or mix a couple bottles, on with a mix of maybe oil and gas in a very oily ratio, thinking 50%, or oil diesel gas, and another one straight gas. Either that or get creative with dumping different thin oils in it like marvel or B12 chemtool
“How to wash down your cylinder walls and wreck a starter.” featuring Uncle Tony.
That starter deserves the Purple Heart….
I understand 5 minutes of cranking to diagnose things but 40 minutes straight wtf 😂
dont get me "started" ?@@XxMusclecarsxX
You guys are really worried about the starter?
check for little burning furballs coming out of the exhaust!! 😅😅😅😅
Reminds me of being 16 years old. Naturally it was 10 degrees with a foot of snow on the ground. It was a two teen job because we had no idea what we were doing. It started just before frostbite set it. Now I'd call a tow truck.
That was the most excruciating video I have ever seen...
That 318 is mission impossible, impossible to start! LOL
Yeah you can absolutely hear that one cylinder that still has a little compress left and tries to hit. Throw a little marvel down each hole in situations like that and it can help seal it up just enough to get it running and possibly warm enough to get the rings to settle back out.
Absolutely
Yep, some sort of light oil like that can sometimes do the trick.
I had a motor bike like that. Kick it a few times to get the oil to give some compression!
Pull the #1 plug, put your finger over the plug hole and bump the starter until the compression pushes your finger off of the hole. THEN check for rotor position!
Better yet, there’s this high tech invention called a (wait for it) COMPRESSION GAUGE.
Suddenly, I'm 16 again.
Tony and Art do look like that. What gets me is Dr.Art looks to be a very smart guy I really don't think he needed Tony to get this thing to run.
sounds like a typical "sat out in the rain for 30 years " motor to me
turns out, if you watch the next video, you're closer than you think....
It needs more cowbell!
Yellow ignition coil wire sparking to the valve cover at 14:00.
Cowboy up, Tony! If Kiwi can resurrect an engine dead for 40+ years and drive it cross-country, surely you can work enough magic on this motor to get it through a day or two at Power Tour! Call in Uncle Steve (Williams, an auto shop teacher in El Cajon), he got Kiwi's poly running without melting the starter by spraying carb cleaner, not a squirt bottle of gas. He swears carb cleaner is better than starting fluid. Just gotta get it running long enough to build up some heat and free up those rings, compression will improve.
Tony is not using the carb cleaner because he always taught that it is too dry. The gas, though not oil, has more lubricity. That being said, I think I feel comfortable doing some MMO followed up by carb cleaner just for that initial kick, once chugging and then, switch over to gas while beginning to start.
There's no honor in re-ringing that engine just for Power Tour. It's run what ya brung or nothing. Kiwi didn't so you can't!
I think that motor cranked more than I’ve cranked all my cars in 31 yrs of driving combined! 😄
It’s like a slot machine, just enough action to keep you playing🎰
Gotta keep cranking; she's due!
UTG, your next t-shirt should have “I smell piss” on it!😂
INTERNAL COMBUSTION because I pee standing up
Into 318 carburetors
I feel like I just watched the director's cut of Flight of The Phoenix.
Even Flight of the Phoenix had someone around with enough sense to scream "Stop! I forbid you" :)
The original?
This is humor in it purest form. 70psi in compression and trying to start it. And the comment section goes ballistik. LOL. Good one ut.
I got to 9:19 and was like, "I hope this is a long video." Then I hit my mouse and seen that it's 45 minutes!!!👌👌👌👍👍👍
Did you get here on time at least?
Did anyone ever spray the cylinders with penetrant? It’ll fake some compression long enough to kick it off and free the rings,.. Sometimes
Atf
14.01, I think there was some arcing from the wires shorting on the valve covers. I can't tell from just the video maybe it's just the lighting
Pull all the plugs. Pour Chemtool in each hole. Crank and crank. Pour couple more ounces. Replace plugs. Let sit overnight. Rings are stuck.
That's what I was thinking. Maybe even marvel mystery oil. Let that shit soak overnight.
I'm surprised he didn't try pouring anything in the cylinders
@@4thdownclown actually, I've done it with a little MMO added to Chemtool for a bit of lube. Too much, and it'll foul the plugs.
very likely...is been sitting...I might try ATF in the cylinders & let it sit for a few days
MMO, and maybe a little 50:1 just to be nice.
Those batteries are so tired they are sleep walking
Winding over, it reminds me of Dana Carvey's impression of Katherine Hepburn.
Man, that starter got tired of life…. 🤣
Ahh that old Chrysler starter sound... like fingernails on a 14 mile long chalkboard 😂
I love that sound,gm and Ford starters sound like the battery is dead when they start..Plus,gm and Ford guys fear Mopar starters as they know they will lose..Our tracks here until the early 2000's were 40% Mopar and they kicked gm/Furds butts all the time! 50% were Gumby Motors and 10% were Furds.
2 cycle oil in each plug hole - Crank with the plugs out.
Put two batteries in series (run ignition wire off one).
Put plugs back in, crank with 24 volts to the starter.
😮😅
Uncle Tony's struggle session!
_Confess Tony and your automotive sins will be forgiven!_ 😂
Can you do more stuff like this? I like watching you trouble shoot!
that starter motor sounds great! . and you can dance to it too.
The struggle is real! Big Richard will be on the road before you know it
Check compression first on any unknown engine, once that's over, make sure you have spark. Don't start adding fuel if you don't have the first two. Uncle Tony, you surprised me by jumping head first into this one.
if you watched the video he had already stated that there was spark,
The other guys said he's getting spark, then Tony takes his word and messes with the point gap. The guy called Tony cause he gave up and probably missed a few steps, it may have had spark at some point but as the "expert" you shouldn't take anyone's word and will need to confirm it for yourself. Tony lost a lot of credit here and defending him is senseless. @@Shade_tree_garage01
The amount of blow by coming out of that right side valve cover was incredible
There’s a problem somewhere, stop cranking it and fix the problem
Pretty disappointed in uncle Tony, how much fuel can you dump in it and praying with the throttle before you can realize you got something else wrong with it ?
Definitely not one of his better moments.
I hate to throw shade on him but that whole song an dance should've been over in 10 minutes and a compression gauge should've shown up or at least put your finger in a hole and see if there is anything going on, disappointing.
@1:30 he says he wants to try to get it running before he rips it apart lol. Whole point of the video
Take the valve covers off and check if the valves are hanging in the guides or something. Cranking for 40mins is never the answer 😭
But it made a whole video !@@XxMusclecarsxX
What a cliff hanger. I haven’t been on the edge of my seat like that in a LONG time. Unreal!!!!!
The most painful video yet toni 😅lol ahhhh!
Best vdo in years. Always privilege to watch the maestro. & + no whining. Just like the early UTG
I was more excited for the comments than the video all most. Tony knows what he’s doing but the armchair wrenches know even better
One more suggestion now that you say it smells like pets it's probably a mouse in the muffler causing the blowback. It's no telling what them mice have drug in while setting up residence
Good point.
This brings back memories of being a teenager
My trick with the squirt bottle is to add 40 weight oil mixed into it at 20 to 1. Old engines love it! if you have 1 cylinder popping off, I let it sit overnight to let the other cylinders get some of that oil in them. The next day, you have at least 3 or 4 cylinders running. I also run the gasoline to the fuel pump at 40 to 1. Once it gets running, things get lubed up and start getting unstuck.
Fill all eight cylinders with Marval Mystery Oil. Let it soak for five days to free up the rings and allow a bit of compression. Blow all the oil out and crank. Would be nice for a before compression reading and then after.
How's it gonna soak if it runs right past the rings?
@@DarkFlamage lol, went right over your head
5 days exactly? Not 6 or 4 ?
@@robflammia4716 or maybe just one day, or two days or ten days, you pick.
At what point in the revival does a compression test come before wasting more time?
I think they already knew it had low compression. Maybe read the title.
Not finished yet but I see spark happening from Coil to valve cover.
That's a FULL Amway bottle lol
Tony, call the corner. DOA
Only thing I could think of throughout this video was that Sling Blade meme with Billy Bob going "it ain't got no gas in it!"
At exactly 14:00 minutes, as Tony is clocking the Distributer, the yellow main coil wire arc's on the right side valve cover, clear as day.
Unc T with another gem of a vid !
lol so good to see someone else doing this!
Idk if it would work for a 318 but I brought an old 300 ford back from the dead that had sat forever and had terrible compression due to the rings sticking.
What I did was put a healthy dose of 80w90 gear oil in each cylinder and cranked it over with no plugs in, then put another shot of oil and repeated till I was sure everything in cylinder was nice and coated, primed the carb with brake clean (lights little easier/violently than plain gas) then put some fresh plugs in and got it to fire on what seemed like 3 cylinders, kept it at about 1500 rpm or so, and it smoked like a freight train outta the exhaust and breather tube for about 20 minutes till it warmed up, and longer it ran the cleaner it got.
Took about 3 heat cycles to get it to start clean and not burn a bunch of oil, but I drove it for a year after that when I swapped a 302 in the truck.
Sleeperdude and utg collab that we all need!!!
Richard is definitely a Richard
Go get a 92 Dakota starter get it spinning fast enough to overcome your lack of compression had the same thing on a 383 recently
Maybe a quick and dirty cleaning to clear all the passages, and fresh gaskets will give new life to that well used engine. Great Job!
It may have jumped time. Check the timeing chain.
Yeah check the timing chain
how would it do that?
@@MsKatjie wore out timing gears and slack chains tend to jump teeth on the sprockets most times upon cranking.
@@MsKatjie
Nylon tipped gear teeth.
In the farm tractor world, pull the plugs, chug some marvel mystery oil in the holes, crank it around, let it sit, install fresh plugs, & watch the smoke.
This is literally every mopar guy trying to start their car to get to work in the morning.
Though Tony shamelessly gave veteran/professional starting procedures a "black eye", the starter fortunately did get the "Purple Heart".
318's never die! They might get old and weak but they're always ready for new life. Best engine ever developed for automobiles.
Tony, I use to do that same thing on my kawasaki z1900. Just barely put wires to the top of the plug to make the spark jump and amplify the spark and it would start a flooded bike and or stop missing when low on fuel. I thought I was the only guy to do that.
Just one more time it will go this time ....how many of us have said that in the past ?? My advice is a tow rope and 50 miles ....goes every time
A friend had an IT 175 Yamaha, it just would not start with the kick starter , eventually I said let's put it in the van and try it in third gear down a long hill , that worked ,it needed more turning over than the kick starter could do.
That thing would definitely fire up if you hit the starter with 24 volts.
I like the 24 volts idea. I used that method a few times on so old dodge darts in the past.
24 volts gits her everytime
I thought of the same thing after watching Peg struggle on Zip Ties and Bias Plies
Would you hit with 24V or would you hit with 12V with double CCA by running in series?
24v @@dirkmanning8621
39:40 was a win. I call that succeeding.
Dammit Tony I was hoping you were gonna get that beast to start i watch the whole video all the way thru 🎉 I was like I know tony got this
That was interesting because of the continuing attempts that kept getting closer over time and I'd call it a start there before the end, it wasn't full throttle revving but it was going with the bottle feed.
Solid effort! Don't listen to the trolls.
Solidly feeble.
@@johnsmith7676nice burner account try again later.
@@johnsmith7676 Almost as feeble as your attempts at trolling!
I love the rattlesnake effect every time he bumps the dipstick handle
Timing chain? Pull dist cap check slack in chain.
that's what I am saying also , also put in a good ignition system
As a fellow engine head your only a a about 3 cigarettes and 2 cold ones from a small block Chrysler that will barely idle
Someone that’s just how it goes with these older vehicles my dad has been in that situation many many times with an engine that’s been sitting for many years, we’ve all been there
I think the problem is that there is silt inside the engine from sitting outside. So much silt that if you threw some seeds down the carb, there would be plants growing inside the engine!!!
The OG uncle Tony keeping it real
My days working on M880 Dodge trucks in the military. Sometimes the cylinders were gas washed we would squirt drops of oil in each cylinder sometimes it worked on tired 318 engines.
I am now sure that UT and I are siblings. We both love small block mopars, iron head sportsters and dogs. We are also share a complete inconsistancy in solving automotive problems. I love my kid brother so much.❤
It bloody fired that's the main thing! I was on the edge of my seat 😂
Tony when you got a engine that refuses to come back to life
I like to turn the oxygen on the torch and give it about15 to 20 sec down the barrels usually helps just oxygen no actyel
I don't know why they didn't use something with a little more pop and less octane than gas like some ether too, but I haven't watched the whole video. Probably not going to
@greenbassboosts8872 oxygen don't have more pop it just makes the gasoline easier to light and burn hotter
This reminds me of trying to start my 318 after it at in a junkyard for 30 years with no distributor. Like this one it didn't have any compression left and was enjoying its slumber and didn't want to wake back up. After I tore the heads off in the bed of a pickup there was so much carbon on the pistons you could cut it with a knife
It's funny to watch the timing mark cycle by and that 1 cylinder that lights of reliably on it's firing stroke, It's like the little cylinder that could.
just waised half a hour watching a engine crank
What not to do When an engine hasn’t been started in who knows how long.
That starter was a real trooper.... apparently it even pissed itself.....
Sometimes what I do is pull the plugs put some penetrating fluid in the cylinders let it set for a few hours. Then spin the motor over with no plugs installed blow all the junk out reinstall the plugs and the pentrating fluid usually helps seal up the rings long enough to fire over then the heat from running really makes them seat.
