Well, just to let everyone know. The engine noise was caused by whoever had the Vette apart last time. The valve covers were installed upside down on the wrong sides! The taper on the inside is wrong, causing the rockers to periodically touch, causing the intermittent noise! All switched, and all good now.
Awesome find! Great job
This happened on Puddin's channel as well during his wagon build
Someone wasn't paying attention! Glad you got it sussed out and fixed on the cheap.
lmao, now that is worth every ounce of red rtv
@@Maakyuhlinsky I like to see fellow fans of puddin in other videos 😂
Wow everything from the Mongols to Jimmy Carter. I love history lessons with Dalton 😂
Both should be feared
Actually now that I think of it, the clean air act was passed under Nixon wasn't it?

Love the randomness under this comment lol
Someone in my family had a 70’s Chevelle. It over heated so the mechanic told them “sorry you blew the engine” cause there was fluid on the ground. She didn’t know any better. So he bought the car from her for 500 bucks in 1980. It didn’t have a scratch on it. Unfortunately there were a lot of dirtbags out there. Just like heater core guy.
Rustolium makes a spray product called ‘rust reformer ‘ for rusty metal. I know it works as long as the painted surface stays dry. If the leak is fixed that product should be ideal for spots Ike your firewall.
Maybe about a $1000@@nosgaslaugher1813
I had the same exact thing happen to me except mine was a different kind of rig. From what I heard, she got ran out of state by 2 different towns and counties as well as the state. Her and her accomplice supposedly lost everything they both had and had to go bk to mom and daddys and restart their lives from scratch.
U could buy a good car or truck for $500 in 1980
@@darrylowens9298I've used that before it works pretty good
Love your mom, any woman that drives a K5 as a daily is gold, take care of her sir.
I know, right? My has no respect for anything that isn't 2023 or newer.
She sounds like my mom, who just had us find her a third 2001 BMW 7 series. She loves that model car and doesn't want anything newer.
@@johnpearson492That year E38 is the pinnacle of excellence, she has great taste!
@@justinwise6950 Undoubtedly, the e38 is perfection in the blend of style, sportiness, luxury, and quality.
My dad had a Blazer like that. One time I rolled the rear window down. Never have I been sworn at with such gusto.
I just lost my dad to cancer, he's the reason I'm into old junk. Make sure to spend as much time with parents as ya can. Never know when they're not gonna be there.
I'm sorry to hear that bud
If you don’t have a shirt that says something about a self tapper that’d be a money maker I bet!
'self tapers and paint make the mechanic I ain't'
I would buy a pbg shirt that says 'Will work for self tappers'
Probably the greatest truth I've ever witnessed being told, "It's not about the length, but the angle"... Preach it, brother...
Yeah keep telling yourself that.
Yeah, I’ve heard my girlfriend tell her husband that several times too 🫠

Who needs to give flowers and chocolates for Mother’s Day ?!
New shocks and heater core will forever keep your place as favourite child 😂
Another fine presentation from PBG👍🏼🇬🇧
My buddy got quoted $1000 to do his brakes.
$180 in pads and rotors later, we did it for $180!!!😂😂😂
BMW's are great, those shops soak those owners like crazy. I've made money on 6 of em. "Mechanics special,, blown head gasket". Quik look and it's water pump. $80 pump and I just made the special tool needed from a piece of flat bar.
Flip the car for a tidy $2k profit.
Plus what-ever the beer cost. Oh no, never mind, you'd have bought the beer anyway! LOL
Air filter and cabin filter for my wife’s Subaru for the dealership to do it $250. It was $50 in filters and less than 5min of my time
Basic maintenance - and that includes diagnosis of a water pump over a head gasket - should be required knowledge to get your high school diploma, that and the same qualifying test the police take twice a year, that should be in curriculum as well if you're going to provide knowledge basically forced into children's minds, might as well be useful knowledge.
Hadn't heard the ole hot dog in the hallway effect in a while. Thanks for the video today, that was hilarious 😂
So many scenarios run through a man’s head.
When a hole gets wallered out from use over the years they’re hard to get back tight again without upgrading hardware
@@RustyZipper such a wise man…..
A guy I worked with when I was 18 used to say it’s like banging a hockey stick around inside a culvert.
Dalton, you are a mechanical comedian. You got a good family right there!
im in manchester uk. we dont have the same animals in our forests over here. the noises of coyotes? frogs? crickets? and sasquatches? in your videos are really good. please always leave the garage door open so we can hear them. thank you very kindly sir
I'm glad you like it, I love the sounds of the woods
I hear a lot of frogs in the night scene but the howling is probably a coyote.
Shop's can be sneaky. Your parents have good taste in vehicles!
You only get 1 Mum, 1 Dad folks. The fact that MrD takes care of his? 🙌👏👏👏👏…. Learn a lesson from this content, instead of criticizing! Bravo MRD🙌
Bonus point
Years ago we had a auto parts store, called nationwide auto parts. They sell it foil tape in auto body department body repair. This was in the 80s
JD has gotta be the luckiest kid around to have such a great dad and teacher! I used to work like that with my dad but he had NO patience 😂😂😂 I still have flashlight trauma!!!
Dalton, have never seen you this gentle on any automobile. Your Mom must be a special lady. I’m glad she was not around when you started cutting wires. Actually a super job. Thank you for sharing.
❤️💯👍👊
That Blazer is a work of art, man. Such a cool car.
your mom sounds like a badass driving around in a k5 blazer and an 80s cocaine rocket
“This thing needs a ton of suspension work !! “ he says as he pours the coals around the corner and gets very sloppy !!! Absolute GOLD 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Very bouncy, those vettes should control like butter
A lot has to do with proper footwear. I’m not sure those cars perform as well unless you’re wearing New Balance sneakers, tall socks, khaki shorts and a button up shirt with pictures of Corvette’s on them 🤷♂️
I've heard that knock before and torque converter bolts was 1st thing that came to mind
My mother’s ‘84 Caprice did that. We thought for sure the engine was shot but just them TC bolts loosened up.
Feel around on the bottom of the bell housing. Had a tahoe back off a torque converter bolt and was hitting the inspection plate ever so slightly.
Atta Boy Dalton way to take care of MOM. Like that you went the EXTRA. Fix that SHackle!!!
JD looks and acts just like you... poor fella. Thanks for showing the rest of dads how it's done.
Bloody hell, the dumdum! When I was younger I worked in a spray paint shop in Dunedin New Zealand we sent the boy to the suppliers for a can of dumdum. He thought we were joking, so he buggered off to the beach.
I must have missed the line. Is this a candy? Bug spray? Or paint? I’d love to know more. Thanks in advance.
It's a tar like sealant. Really sticky, really messy messy
@@MattMunro74 thanks, have a good day.
As a mechanic myself I feel slightly triggered by the repair shop hate.🤣
Just like in any field, scumbags ruin the reputation for everyone. The mechanics are everywhere and the stuff they work on, people depend on. So when shit goes wrong, the customers family will know, their dog will know, their neighbours will know. And everyone will remember that for years.
Me too! lol. There’s is the hacks out there that give us bad names. Also we don’t know the whole story, they might have tried to sell shock mounts, who really knows. Some guys do the minimum required to complete the job, we are on flat rate. I feel like I get paid enough now that I take my time and do the best job that I can. When I was younger trying to get going I tried flying through jobs, I had to to get a decent pay check.
Fell asleep watching the roadrunner video
Wakeup and theres a new one
Best nap ever
I'm a Ford guy, by damn dad's driveway is stacked with gorgeous GM's. Mom's K5 is a cream puff and I'm unbelievably jealous.
Nobody noticed Dalton backing out my 4 speed 1970 Torino GT though?! Lol
@@johnsummitt2271 that's yours? I thought it was Dalton's! Awesome car as well.
Color me double jealous.

Watching you do the heater core on that blazer makes me glad my squarebody is a factory non ac truck
Fact
This is the BEST Content on CZcams - VGG was here and lost its way.. :) SO... You drink that stuff so you won't DIE... :)
Yes he did. Liked VGG when he was not selling his self out to all the sponsors and when he moved to Nashville it changed him
That's funny how you guys feel the same way I do that's what makes your videos so entertaining!! And that you are still working outside your small garage.. and continue to work a full-time job so down to earth!
People always change when that silver plaque arrives. Dalton probably uses his as a mixing board for body fill 🤷♂️
@@davidbryant5875Damn that guy for not wanting to be broke the rest of his life and how dare he work his ass off to get to where he is. I’m sure PBG is looking forward to the day that his hard work begins to pay off for him and his family. Then y’all can bitch about him selling out.😂
And here I am, enjoying both PBG and VGG _and_ some other channels ran by dudes fixing up old cars. But hey, I guess every "community" needs their purist gatekeeping squad, eh? 🤷♂
Ahh square body life. One of the first repairs I did myself at 17 was a heater core on the hand me down ‘86 K20. And if I remember correctly it was a two piece heater box requiring an arm through each side to thread the tiny bolts out of the blend door rods all by feel. Next job was a leaking fuel tank due to those lousy plastic shields trapping dirt and water.
It’s a worn valve guide. The stem slaps in the guide. Common small block issue.
As parents, we often don’t realize just how much our own kids are learning and growing (because we see them all the time, so like watching a flower grow, if you watch it all day, you don’t see it blossom - but if you only saw it once or twice a week, you’d notice it). So I wonder if you see just how much your son is learning and growing. He’s an impressive young man. He is clearly picking up what you are putting down!
Hey PBG I just wanted to say that I saw you in one of junkyard digs videos a while ago and ever since then my dad and I watch you every time you upload. Thanks for all the laughs and please keep up the great work!
Those slot mags are EXCELLENT
Dang... Those coyotes were really close
Somebody go pet the little puppies 🐶 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly. First time I’ve ever seen a brake drum you could shave with. I kept hearing that one Little Rascal saying “ Remarkable! “.
Man that ole k5 is sweet also just watched the outside the barn video slab turned out nice can’t wait to see the new building and all the other good stuff from PBG
Thanks!
I really like your Mom's K5. The engine swap was the first PBG episode i watched, and that lead to the binge and therefore a subsequent subscription and eventually a membership. The Vette isn't bad after the Crossfire delete. If you were driving without New Balance and the Members Only jacket, that could cause the problem you were having. I like the 2 vehicle special episode format 👌🏻
Thanks! Frankly, I had to do the work anyways, but for me to pick up a wrench these days I also need the camera rolling.. So here we are lol
🤣 I just made a comment about the car not performing without them NB Sneakers on!
@@RustyZipper clearly the problem 👌🏻
Your a wonderful son and a great dad passing on your knowledge well done very enjoyable content.
So I learned this lesson with my dad. It's not that the fuel pump is bad out of the box. It's that a fuel system that has a return line. That's how it creates an equilibrium. Otherwise it's just gonna suck on the tank until it can't suck anymore. And that's when it breaks the webos inside the pump. And that's when the hole spits out. Because that's what prevents the fuel from leaking into your oil and ruining your engine. The only thing you can do is either drill.A hole in your gas cap like we did or you can put a vented fuel cap.On if they are available or run a pump with a return
Running a return pump is always the way to go it will stop you from vapour locking
@@600wheel truck wasn't equipped from factory. And I really didn't feel like installing and dealing with that
@@salty-9 I get it. It really only causes a problem on really hot days and generally to hopped up engines anyhow
@@600wheel It's a 78 f250 long bed super cab camper special custom. 460 an a c6
@@salty-9 Nice, that 460 might like it. Cooler fuel gives you better fuel efficiency. A cam intake and some aluminum heads with a carb and headers would really make it happy
🤘😎🤘
That Blazer is really freakin nice.
Absolutely love the K5, and the slot mags are the perfect wheels for a 4x4 squarebody!
I watch this channel regularly because you’re relatable, entertaining and I usually get a few laughs every video. Thanks for being a true “everyday guy”
I so, so, so much want one of those K5's!!! I love the look and stance, it's meeeeean! That one really looks good, lucky your mom has you to take care of her ❤
Moms ride is a pretty sweet rig . Good to see you giving it love
I love how your mom drives a classic squarebody.
The father/son dynamic here is amazing. Keep it up, duders.
They have a saying here in Nova Scotia about the sun shining when it's raining. ( The Devil is beating his wife) lol
Those K5 blazers with the detachable roof. That body is cherry.
Absolutely LOVE the slotted dish mags on your Mom's Blazer....Those look so good on that vintage SUV. 👍
GM did everything they could to keep the crossfire from reaching the potential it was capable of doing. They knew the future was in tuned port injection. The crossfire was based on the cross ram from the 69 z28 which was something special back in the day putting out over 300 hp with a 302 cubic inch motor. I'm old enough to have seen the 69 cross ram camaro walk all over big blocks.
Dalton reversing the absolute schlockery of that "mechanic" that did the work on the Blazer. Well done 👍
Can't beat a good rust weld.
Your mom seems like a really nice lady. Cheers to her.
I love this Blazer! And love a guy that looks out for mom!😁👍🏻💪
The heater core replacement brings back some good memories of my High School car a 89 Chevrolet Corsica. When my heater core went out and started to pump out white smoke in the car. It was pouring antifreeze on the passenger side floor. After I got it fixed I used my Mother's brand new carpet cleaner. Man she wasn't happy about that. Lol 🤣😆🤣 good times.
You making come true I was just watching you that is awesome thank you for keeping a trucker from not going lonely
Thank you for bringing the crap I order online to my house and also for putting up with those moron drivers out there now!
@@RustyZipper there’s a problem with that statement there zipper I deliver the food I got a reefer on my back 24-7 I ain’t hauled for Amazon in quite awhile but I appreciate it you have a great day
@@michigander_truckerrides985 - thanks for bringing me my food then! Lord knows I could do with less but that’s the American way! 🫃 I really wish all you truckers would go on strike for just one day a week and make more folks appreciate all the sacrifices you drivers make!
😂 when you asked JD if he knew what a clock was. 💯 valid question as I have asked my kids to tell me what time is on the clock and it takes them a little while to figure it out 😅
graeat lookin pontiac in the back ground, that is the identical year of my tempest i drove in highschool...
I have a 1979 2wd blue and white Blazer. It is very nice! I still have quite gotten to restoring it!
The knock sounds very similar to a bad harmonic balancer, another option could be a torque converter bolt. Great video, Thank you for sharing!!!
Great video Dalton! One of these days it would be cool to meet you and the crew. Hell, I feel like I already know your entire family. Keep it up, best on the tube!!
Dalton, Really enjoy the down to earth way you work on cars. Keep up the great work!! The new shop will definitely be a game changer.
I can't believe your mom drives a square body blazer. That is pretty cool
She’s from Pasadena 🤫
I love that Blazer.
Wait, BOTH of them.
Just a note on the syringe, you can take it right out and pour your liquid in and then pressurize it to put the liquid into whatever you want. Easier than trying to pick the liquid up
I love how you're basically just teaching your kid about working on cars while he films you. I feel like I have about the same amount of knowledge as he does, so I'm learning right with him. 😂
Put axle grease on the push rod so it holds it in the block while you bolt up the fuel pump 😉
Fairly certain he mentioned that in the video
I’m glad you did the fiddly bits to make sure your moms ride was better and safer
HI DALTON , I am OLD , thus the OLD school method worked fine forever.
Its great that your son will remember the OLD SCHOOL way as he gets older.
TY, BTW F the A HOLES , they probably only know how to use a SCAN TOOL
Im lucky i have a brother that’s like a bloodhound trained to look for problems like this on a car. When i bring him to buy a used car he can sniff up like 5 problems at least that the owner never thought about. He checks literally everything and i am so grateful!
Rustoleum "reforms" rust. I love it.
Mom's 78 K5 is a peach! I had a 79 a Wyoming truck very clean loved it should have kept it. Had the SilverRayDo trim level PW/PDL/CC/A/C Am/FM 8 track Power Rear Window, Rally Wheels, 350, TH400, NP203 3.73 and a locking Diff. That truck was awesome! Long Live the Self Tapper King!
I'm guessing the vette's trailing arms and truss rods need a little love....the Achille's heels for sure! LOVE yer mom, too! Fun vid, brother!!! A+++++
I agree! Some bushings and spring links would do it wonders as well
Glad to see u was raise right taken care of ur mom!
One of the cleanest K5's I've seen in a while. And not all cut up!
The more Dalton works on it, the more cut up it gets lol
Love your show keep up the good work. Good to see you and j.d. getting a new shop. Well deserved
Dalton just fixes things the way you do when you drive your cars. That painted tape looks like a million bucks.
It's sad the kind of BS that shops are doing now 😢it's ridiculous. Very nice of you to fix your mom's truck nothings to good to keep mom safe 😊
I love this blazer soo much, idk why maybe because it's bright yellow? Love the video Dalton
Good job you're a good son helping your mom and dad..
Dalton, I think its pretty cool that your mom has a classic Corvette. Way to go getting rid of that waste of time Crossfire System!
YES. my kind of hero. HOT DOG DOWN A HALLWAY. I tell people that all the time. 😂😂😂 but yes i agree with you on shops. This is why i work on my own stuff. Can't trust people anymore.
Can’t wait for the new shop to be done!
Torque converter bolts.. on transmission … it’s sounds lower end but not real bad like a soft knock and will echo off everything cause it’s connected to the crank shaft wich has everything close proximity… sounds like almost everything !!!
Sure sounded up front though.. I've ran into cracked flexplates and torque converter bolts before, I agree it sounds like that
@@PoleBarnGarage well thank you for letting me know you read my message when you find out and if it is .. I appreciate if you let me know or give a shout out when you’re filming again or do a video on it and repair it .. I’m curious about it myself .. from what I heard in video it didn’t get louder that I heard and it sure sounded like loose converter bolts .. and if the same person serviced that transmission like they serviced the shocks on that blazer lol I could see it being loose converter bolts probly no lock tight on them or not torqued to specs… lol thanks dalton looking forward to more cool content .. lol how’s that king cobra doing !!! Ok ttyl ✌️ 🤙🤜🤛🤙🤙🤘🤘‼️‼️💯💯
I did a fun heater core in a 79 Peugeot, yea I know, it's not a Jaga wire.
😂 i could listen to you work on POS's all day. Your mom should b proud of you and JD

Exactly.

Dang, that K5 Blazer needed a lot of parts fixed. Good thing Dalton was nice enough to fix his mom's cars.
FIX -----------------------------> Move the valve cover to the other side? why look at the couture of the valve cover, They have a slope and the valve cover is more horizontal when looking at it from the front, Thanks for the fun and cheers
Judging by the oil pressure the bearings are worn. Put some 20/50 in it and run it. It's a chevy,it'll be alright. Or maybe a loose or cracked flywheel. Had alot of chevys usually one of the 2.
51:51 ouuff. that red Pontiac is a gem. Love the whole car collection. And your mom seems super nice, btw.
Keeping mom safe ❤
Another great video! Thanks for taking care of your Mom❤️
Dad has some pretty cool stuff in his driveway!
Good to See You Dalton, Mom has a BadAss Blazer!
