I like these real life rebuilds you do , most of us don’t have big budgets that we can use to put in our cars and trucks like they show on tv. But you show us that it can be done on a shoe string budget and still be able to have fun with our vehicles. Thank you😁😁👍👍

TETNUSS!. Bringing back some memories for me there Mr. 40 years back, my Dad trying to show a spotty little whippersnapper with the attention span of a gold fish how to rebuild a motor. I turned out to be a half decent mechanic, with good problem solving skills. So he did me proud. Well done Dad. Love your videos. Thank you ❤

As someone who is restoring his dream car, a 1968 El Camino, I love these videos because this is basically how I rebuilt my 4 bolt 350. If you're wondering, yes I like classics and I'm 20. I grew up around classic and antique cars due to my grandfather.

My high school auto shop teacher was an old country boy and taught a lot of techniques like this. I remember that he was big on knurling valve guides and pistons, not spending much money, and cleaning your tools and the shop as you went along. His engines always ran after the “rebuild”, but I’m not sure how long they were good for. There’s dozens of ways to get an old engine back on the road. I enjoyed watching what you did to this one, and can’t wait to see how it runs.

You, sir, are my kind of engineer!! Low budget land is where most of us live... and as much as I enjoy those 'high end' engine reconditioning videos, your kind of approach is very much in the real world!

Hey Dud, I really get a kick out of watching U in what U apparently love doing and thsts mess with old cars and Trucks!!!!! Really LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S IM 67 AND can set here hours at a time watching U!! EXPECIALLY when U go to get one running after been setting for years and U do it your way, and then say I guess that's right," I DONT KNOW" It makes me Laught everytime U say that, but it seams to always WORK, THE MOTOR RUN'S!!! THANKS FOR POSTING ALL YOUR VIDEO'S AND PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!!!😊

Spell it the correct way and run for Mayor! 😂 I don’t know….🤷‍♂️ enjoyed the show and look forward to the next one…have a great weekend. 🇺🇸👍🙏

JB weld that one cylinder and rehone and call it a day . 🤣🤣

I have my grandfather’s 73 VW beetle that’s sat for over 20 years. The engine got stuck from rust in the cylinders so I put a set of used cylinders in it new rings. I power washed the sludge out of the block and I got it back together and it runs great. Doing these cheap rebuilds are really fun.

I think you did an excellent job with that engine considering the condition it was in can’t wait to see it run you da man

Finding double Hump Heads is rare, working with my old man through my high school days. He tow in scrap cars85-91 my learning years, (chevy) always check vin, check the heads, see what we got. it determined what we can sale it for. you have nice collection of Parts, Horde away till decide too use them it's your stuff. Awesome rebuild just about how the old man taught me.

I absolutely love your channel and your personality. Thank you so much for being here

Thanks for the detailed doings of the motor rebuild. I was in vocational school in '95 learning Auto mechanics. I watched the video thoroughly and discovered parts of the Piston rods workings I never learned in school. BOTH teachers had diverted me to do other "stuff" at those times so I couldn't get taught about these matters. Am I angry-YES-not at the 2 instructors though. Now 20 years later, I get "why" I missed achieving my ASE certification scores by just a few points. I stopped trying for them 10 years ago, didn't have the money for registering, nor for, taking the tests. I now know what it was that had them treat me as an outcast-like, how DARE I try to achieve a dream and have the career as an automotive technician that I've wanted since I was 10 years old. Yeah, I was different from my classmates, and, they grinded that fact into my face EVERY day of class. I'm now 57-58 in November with no trade skill to live on! My life has been a flop all the way through, and, not sure how much more of the crap I have to endure. I still plan to watch the 3 remaining videos in this rebuild series. Doug, text me if you want-other than the usual emoji responses. I hurt inside and the overload of failing is causing a mental "crash-down"😵😫😱 this emoji is for you and your video works👍⭐⭐⭐

TTNESS all the way!! & what a great build series!!

Glaze cylinder 6 with some JB weld and take that truck on power tour next year 😝. Good vid, keep em coming!

Your engine, you build it how you want. Its really that simple. I have been around some pretty crude builds including greasing up the parts and then intentionally throwing them in the dirt so they stay in place on there own and those motors last a long long time.

Never mind Found it and have already watched it!

hi chad tetness bringing back some memories glad you was able to pull the engine out and did a cheap rebuilt job will done love you videos thank you fella

Love the channel. I'm slowly understanding how the engine works. I can name a lot more parts. You're very entertaining 😂

Like this series so far man.

A Classmate Parents had a 64 Chevy Impala, 283 Powerglide. I bought it from his Widowed mom in about 1984, put a battery in it and drove it home. NO A/C no power nothing, Just 2 Speed Powerglide. It smoked like a freight train at idle but chalked the pipe on the Hwy. My brother and I took off the Valve Covers and it was so gummed up, I called Mrs England up and asked what kind of oil was used since they bought it new of course was Quaker State, we ended up just rebuilding the engine since we tore it down to clean it up I think it had a little over 120000 miles on it. I kept it for 3 or 4 years to run around in sold it to an older couple who needed a reliable car, I had painted it and covered the seats as far as I know they drove up till they passed.

My high school auto shop class did comparisons on conventional oils, and believe it or not Kendall oil scored very high. Great budget rebuild.

Looks like you got yourself a challenge my friend? She outta run fine, might smoke a little til the rings ceat in. Looks like your gonna need some upper and lower A arms,spindles etc ,plus a rear end and a few goodies. It will be interesting to see that ol truck pull out of them woods for the first time in nearly 40 yrs? Man, keep that climb going my friend.

I’ve built many motors like that….just a poor man’s rebuild! Most of them turned out pretty well considering! Some burned oil after awhile but not horrible but very drivable to get the job done.

Wow a old dead Chevy left in the grave and the only person I know that would even attempt to bring a ol truck back around is amazing good job buddy

Awesome video! Thank you :)

Atta'boy !! Looking forward to future videos haven't seen the truck ? But i will when it's time . Good luck to you !!!

I hope that your not too critical of this old man who is or was a mechanic in the islands on alaska's many old camps where logging was done about as red neck as it gets. We made stuff that we didn't have to work with. As time went by an it was harder to find pieces an parts that had not been recycled a half dozen times. Seriously as a heartache we welded up and ground stuff off and then crossed the fingers it would stay together. No new parts, just salvaged out of several old rigs sent to die out there as they didn't have dumps or wrecking yards in their towns so it went out on a barge and then dumped out in the woods where they knew we would run it through a bunch of times.... some of our best runners were the fords as they just seemed to be the most forgiving. Now I ain't saying I didn't know how to do it right as I did. My dad was a blacksmith, my two best neighbors were blacksmiths an my age then... I am seventy two, an short to be seventy three in a couple months. (you tell me not to leave a long comment an this will be the very last one) .. I just enjoy telling about the old days. I also had men who were my heros in them days an boosted my courage in fixing stuff, they were navy machinists and every machine made to forge or fix on stuff was at my hands. One good machinist said that I was equal to a second class machinist!! Just blowing my own horn.. I sure agree on most of your saying on wear and which parts an pieces wore the most. Since a piston goes up an down, it wears the middle of the cylinder the most as it gets two to one on a piston going up an down. Thats how I figure... just to prove I am stupid, I put a engine together that needed the fuel pump on the block then used a cam out of a vortec engine that did not have a provision for a pump (no lobe) and so imagine my surprise that the pump didn't work and tried a couple more before it dawned on me those engines used a electric pump in the tank. I did the right thing an took the front of the engine off, loosened the valves enough to let the lifters ride away from the cam an put another cam in it without taking the intake off... it took a bit but got away with it. I used to spot weld the ring that held the oil pump drive shaft to itself so when you did pull the distributor out, the shaft couldn't come out of the pump and then try and chase it cause it did. (no need to ask if that little problem ever happened to me) I got hurt one time and could not go back out running equipment, it was winter as well and the damn kids refused to go without eating, the wife was equal not helpful as she wanted a roof over her head so I would take a half dozen chevy engines and get those cheap napa rebuild kits for about a hundred fifty bucks, just gaskets enough to get one back together with cheap rings and bearings. I used my best pieces an parts of engines to make a good one a runner again. I would have my time, a couple hundred in pieces an parts in one and sell it as a runner with a end of driveway guarantee but folks knew what they were getting. I sold those engines for anywheres to four to six hundred with your old rebuildable engine for a core. I ain't lying, I sold a engine a day and every day for one month.... made more money than if I was working a ten hour day in the logging camps. I got to where I had four or more chevy engines painted up an looking right good, a little chrome got you a extra hundred an was cheaper than the new good oil pans were... cheap jap parts that was only good for one time use. Now I know you won't believe how I did my cleaning of engine blocks and heads... I had me a barrel full of apple cider vinegar with molasses in it as well. I would just leave that iron in the barrels till I needed another one to fix so they would soak for a good month at times. A sprayer on a garden hose brought them clean as a boiled clean engine. Shiny metal if they got a good soak. Not a speck of hardened grease or crapola on them if soaked. After a good three months, I would pour the junk out of my barrel and even it shined on the insides. The junk that came out could be shoveled up in large piles. Just the oils n grease, rust an all came out in that stuff. I never had one engine ever come back as I did try hard to make sure I never cut no corners on quality I could control. I got engines that had fancy cams an intakes when they turned in cores. I always did dry start them on a stand with water and oil so they were broke in before installing. I had two permanent employees, my teen aged sons who got paid high dollar for their labor, I am talking if they were working a regular job for someone else, I paid way more but they did have to work for it an they didn't mind me make them do something over as they knew they were learning how to build their own engines for their own cars... I had them in nice rigs before they were old enough to get a licence to drive. Those were the days of the FE ford big block, the small block chevy an some small block chryslers. I never got into building big block chryslers as they just had too many different pieces an parts. I am just guessing but if you did the seals on the valves, that engine ain't gonna be all that bad on oil. I spent almost six months in different casts to get both legs healed up an my back fixed in a few surgeries... they set a log on me when I was under a rig changing a drive shaft an a limb came through the deck and got me damn good. Even broke my hip bone. All in all, I went back to work in the woods working as a mechanic and bringing home a paycheck that was half of what I made at home. The wife and kids begged me to stay home and work as they got spoiled on the better money made just working for my self. Now that old squarebody has some life left if you are convinced to patch it back together like rat rod bob did on one that should of been tossed into the scrap pile. I do enjoy watching you an your " I just don't know" LOL, that sells the news buddy

thoroughly enjoyable! great music as well.

I just dont understand why people have to take things to a different level I watch and enjoy your channels but dont know you personal God bless you! For handle this 100 times better the i would have

TITNUSS is my spelling . Great video. I'm addicted.

The dodge revival got me hooked. Love the vids and the content. Great work on a budget.

It’s so interesting to watch you in the disassembly, I hope it will find a new life!

You are tenacious! Fun to watch, good content. (Kinda talk funny though 😂) was a tank mechanic in Vietnam and worked with a lot of guys from the south that sound just like you. Some very savvy mechanics. Brings back old times. Thanks again. Dave

Man that is a lot of work, hope she runs….longtime👍👍👍

Excellent video sir!! Just an update so others viewing the honing procedures don't freak out thinking the single arm honer will damage their engines. On the single arm hone, there is a slip collar held in place by a screw. When loosened and the collar is rotated, it stops the arms from expanding out (clear view of collar at 29:00 and shows cut a-ways for arms to expand as far as the tool allows). And to note, it can not taper the bottom of the bore because the stones would hit the main bearing casting and stop rotating. If the hone is pulled out still rotating, it will do very little damage if any to the top of the bore, when the honing is complete you simply pull the stones upwards while releasing the drill trigger and stop the stones level with the top of the cylinder. Grab and compress the arms and remove honer. Not to disparage anything in your video my friend. You just tackled a ridiculous job reviving this truck and did a wonderful job getting another SB Chevy back to life. I've honed dozens of engines with my single arm and never had a problem and you are dead on about speed and lubrication. The ball honer should be used and is fool proof for beginners, a single arm will work, a double arm is the next best thing to actual machining the cylinders. But please heed the warning on this video, if you don't have the drill speed and vertical timing speed correct you'll never achieve the proper 60 degree cross hatch scoring. You wind up with piston blow-by or a cylinder that can't be lubricated correctly leading to excessive heat and possibly seizure. Again, amazing video series, I've never seen a revivalist KZfaq channel that has ever gone thru this much work to revive a vehicle that is so far gone. Incredible work!!!

Say that motor should live on again to also nickname Red Neck way for Tentist and did excellent job rebuilt it to me ! Looking forward seeing it running again that 350 and that old Oil like grease holy crow never use Quaker State oil ever plus Canadian Tire brand of Nug Gold hear to many problems of both and lots people had rebuilt motor to early in life plus damages too! I always use top line oils brands all year's I be drive vechiles and fix up motors too !

People who are on KZfaq doing revivals and some of us watching them should have seen that truck and it was my daily driver scrap metal hauler, and firewood hauling truck for 12 1/2 years was one hell of a great running dependable old truck hell beater was it's nickname..there was not a straight piece of sheet metal on or in that truck I have pictures of it on my Facebook profile page lol, even the glovebox door was dented in..it was a 86 Chevy midnight blue and frost gloss white k20 3/4 ton custom deluxe regular cab long bed beat up 4x4 farm truck..

Proper spelling would be... thinking's "Tetnis" am versed in Latin Language... you are golden! thank you agian sir!!!..Tetanaus proper -do it your way!!! Love sharing content between ya'lls channels- Zip ties and bias plies.. lol and Duff and Kevin Mortske... found you through them💪

I do the same thing you do. Can't wait to see it back in the truck and running. Looking forward to it.

The block getting rusty inside the water passages is from people running straight water instead of water and coolant. many people think antifreeze is only used to prevent the block from freezing when that is only one part the other part it is a rust preventer and lubricator and makes the engine run cooler then with just water

I ran across a video of your 53 Chevy and I've been watching & laughing now I'm watching the video of a bur on the honing

name it " are you going to put freeze plugs in that engine"?

wow... your lucky that head didnt get your foot ... that would have been some serious pain ..cool vid

Very interesting content I look forward to next week I look forward to seeing some burnouts 😂😂

Heck! That's how we used to rebuild Chevy small blocks back in the 60's and 70's! Ahh, the innocent days of youth!😂

Thanks for another , Brother !

Love the way you do things. Of what you have. Great deal!!

I love the content and think it will run pretty good just may smoke a touch !!! just like my engines LOL !!!!

With those bad cylinder walls it is going make a smoky exhaust (oil in gas) , but it should still work. Great video. Looking forwards to see/hearing it run!

yeah, i lived in Appalachia for about 8 months in the mountains of West Virginia. have to "make do" there (this was like 40 years ago). a backwoods mechanic "rebuilt" a straight six for a fella and just left out one piston, rod etc cause didnt have a repair. engine ran ... fine. point is ... , got to learn how to "get er done." its a fine art. the older simpler engines will carry you thru and are a lot less finicky. a great mechanic does as little as possible to achieve decent results with time labor and availability. just saying ..., there is more than enuf work in this video to rebuild an engine like this. if you have a good enuf "feel" and experience a great back woods mechanic is golden. and the knowledge and practice is passed on thru "apprenticeship." this aint a perfect world and never was. a car and motor etc have a "personality". just like with people you can last and do an awful lot if you adjust and observe and take into account that.

Enjoying the videos. I say keep the name in keeping with the area that you found it. It's earned its birthright. Thanks for lessons and the laughs. 😎👍

Good idea on the board to keep track of things, Good work!

Awesome stuff I really enjoy watching you fix stuff or tare stuff up lol

I bought a 67 SS396 Chevelle, way back when, for $375 because it didn't run and "needs a camshaft." Got the intake off and couldn't remove about half of the lifters because they had worn out around the camshaft and wouldn't come out. I already had the new camshaft so I pulled the lifters up into their bores as far as I could and managed to remove the camshaft by just turning it until it cleared the lifters. Then I cut that new camshaft box in half and stuck it into the camshaft bore and proceeded to just push those worn-out lifters down into the box and pulled them right out. I found the bottoms of the lifters were completely gone along with the internals. New camshaft fixed it though and it ran great.

ultrasonic cleaners make short work of grubby pistons.

Hi Chris i really enjoy Your videos keep them coming!!!

🤣🤣 Tetness! Perfect name. Enjoyed the motor assembly. I still have the same ring groove cleaner as you do. Keep the vids coming!

I've given a Chevy engine or 3 a nickel and dime overhaul and they all ran like new for years. Keep doing what you do brother I for one enjoy what you do.

Awesome video and is exactly how I'm doing my dads '42 International W6 tractor, bin in the family since new. Getting her running to take to shows etc. It won't be doing any heavy work so no sense in spending a fortune on her. I reckon you're kinda nuts (in the nicest possible way of course) so you ought to call that old truck 'Tetenuts' 🤣🤣👍👍 Keep em coming, love your videos👍👍 All the best from Bonnie Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Awesome channel! I'm learning from watching you. But I can teach you something! I have half of a degree in microbiology. You don't get tetanus from getting cut on rusty metal. That's a common misconception. You get it from a bacteria. Clostridium tetani. This bacteria lives in the soil and is an anaerobic bacteria. This means that it only grows in the absence of oxygen. It's usually associated with a rusty nail because the rusty nail is in the ground with the bacteria spores possibly on it. The nail then creates a puncture wound. Basically injecting yourself with the bacteria spores. Deep enough in your foot to be away from oxygen. So what you've done is made a perfect home for the bacteria. So while there is a correlation between rusty nails and lockjaw, the rust has nothing to do with the disease. :)

I'm guessing the 186is are worth more than the amount you spent on this build.I like the vid.

Really been enjoying your channel, glad I stumbled across it.

Enjoying Your Videos,and Watching You Rebuild “The INGINE FOR TETNIS”Happy New Year’2023 Your New Oregon Friend!

Considering where that grease ball started I think it turned out exceptionally well 👍 I bet yes she will run like a day it was built, maybe 😂 you do some fine work and I really enjoy your channel 👍☮️🇺🇲

Great video. A real ‘poor man’s’ build! 👍🍻

Caint wait to see this thing roar too life, I think you are doing a sweet job, don't get any rust remover near that truck cause if you accidentally spilt some on it, it would be bye bye truck. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

Heard your oil comment, I always was told to never use Qaker State, unless you were just trying to hide sloppy lifter noise.

Don't make a bet with Chad that he can't do something ! You'll lose the bet ! :) Onto pt. 3 & 4 . Great stuff !

Cool my friend I have some of that stuff too and a 283 67 I'm putting back together cheap in good shape though enjoy your videos thanks

I enjoyed it good job and on to the next one.

Low budget builds don't have to be bad.Cross my fingers for you that the pitting in no. 6 not break your rings.Allways nice to see you in the video continue with it...it's realy cool.And don't forget: life is good.(but I know you don't).

Tetnis! Cause it looks better if you write it on the truck! Also you are becoming one of my favorite you tube channels! I'm up here in Ontario Canada and we don't have old stuff like you have still around! It's all been taken from us from salt and corrosion! Would love to be able to fix old things up that have style and nostalgia! Can't get enough of your videos! Watched just about em all! Great work and we appreciate the content you make because it takes lots of time and effort! Keep up the great work! Hopefully all them likes turns into lots of subscribers for you and in no time you will have a fan base like VGG!

Enjoyed this video. Thank you sir and a lot of good information along the way. All in all awesome series and will be following videos from you in the future. Keep them coming please thank you kindly.

👍I’m sure Diggin this channel. Great job. Almost as satisfying as building one’s own “dirty-build” engine. I like yo style sir. 👍🇺🇸

Good stuff, hard grungy work... thanks for sharing!

It would be interesting if you were to show reassembly of a 4 bolt main block

You need a press to press them pins in but you got to do what you got to do

hi everyone you can use jb weld to fill the cillinderwal it wil work

Freeze plugs don't forget

Sir love your passion , including Mortske style ring removal... Have you trieded his valve unsticking methods..😖. Enjoy your vids! keep going sir!

It'll run

Keep up the good work

Sir....you make my day with your videos...I think that We could be Good friends in person ...if I ever get to meet you in person...I will buy you a steak dinner! I know you are swamped with work making your videos but you can always make longer videos and not have to cut so much out...I know you said that your computer chokes on the longer videos but I wanted you to know that I look forward to all your videos and you are a inspiration to many of us..take care and God bless!

TUTNESS.... Just found your channel really enjoyed the video Will binge watch to catch up. instant subscribe thanks much.

Oh, yeah she's gonna run just fine.

First time I have come across your channel so apologies if its been mentioned before but dollar store oven cleaner is the best degreaser Ive ever used. And it is considerably cheaper than Gunk. Spray, wait, agitate with a dollar store paint brush then rinse and repeat as needed.

Thank you for sharing, l enjoy yuh videos.

Trade secret: Castrol Superclean. Won't regret it, best cleaner I've found.

Those gray pair look to be 186 double humps with the accessorie holes. There the best double humps there are. I like the vortecs myself but you need a totally different special 8 bolt intake

Cool i found a new channel to kick my feet up and enjoy 👍💯

Damn Chevy rotating assemblys tough as any u joint had to beat the snot of.... You da man sir!

Cool stuff man, look forward to seeing her run

Fully understand where you are coming from on the money aspect of have you seen the truck, and although mine was a k20 and it had most of its floor pans, but the doors had big rust holes in them plus both were caved in the center plus dented at the bottom and my bed didn't look much better and it was even twisted tailgate was bent out in the center about where the latch handle is, and the tailgate was shut and the driver side was bent out at the top and Bent in at the bottom and the passenger side was just the opposite of the Dr side and I had $1,475 in the motor minus heads,cam, and lifters,I just built a 4bolt main 350 0.30 from a 1975 Chevy k20 Silverado 010 block and had it's rotating assembly balanced and the cam kit I chose was a competition cams Xtreme energy 268h 221/224 477/480 at 0.50 lift lopey idle nasty sounding cam and I was given a summit racing equipment brand new timing gear drive timing set machined for more noise was way louder than the transfer case lol, and I had about the same $1,975 in the transmission rebuild it was $1,475 for the main rebuild but add the transmission heavy duty cooler, the b&m torqmaster 1800-2100rpm stall torque converter and the replacement valve body because mine was plugged up and turned out to cracked also.

Very interesting stuff but I don’t understand why your time is not better spent on something that has a higher upside. Your time has to be more valuable than that.

Seeing that sludge from the Quaker State oil brings back memories 😿

back in those days many people used parifin base oils such as quaker state

Well Done Chad! An Admirable Effort for this project!

You ever looked at doing a homemade hot tank? DIY Mike did a good video on one.

Show. Making a half sole like we do here in Brazil! I just doubt that rust on that single cylinder will interfere with anything!
