Half the cylinders, half the work? If only! The flathead four-cylinder engine in our “Swap to Street” 1930 Ford Model A was leaking oil like crazy and wasn’t running particularly well, either. That made it a perfect subject for our popular Redline Rebuild time-lapse video series. What took us months of long days in the shop is distilled down to a high-paced video that captures EVERY part of the rebuild process.

At times we all enjoy the related benefits of todays technology, but videos like this also make it clear that ignoring the "simple tech" of the past and relegating it to the shelf in favor of "advancement" isn't always wise.

@EagleBeagle4886 15 сағат бұрын

Tetraethyllead was a lead based gasoline additive used by older engines to reduce/prevent engine knock. As you can imagine this was not good for humans or the environment. "In the mid-20th century, scientists discovered TEL caused lead poisoning and was toxic to the human brain, especially in children.[5] The United States and many other countries began phasing out the use of TEL in automotive fuel in the 1970s." That is one example. As technology advances, it becomes more complicated. Many of us can start a camp fire on our own, no one can build a computer "on our own.". The OBD II system and catalytic system are other automotive examples of excellent advancements in automotive technology that have greatly benefited the United States.

@@joeladzim1225 have you seen some of my work? No! Hobbiest can be the most detailed people around fella. I have seen some scale model engines made from Hobbyists that are every bit as like the real thing. Toys? You clearly understand NOTHING. Scale models were built of full sized ships so the builders could visualize what it was they were building and enabled changes to the final real build without costing. You need to read more and shut your yap!

Our dad had a 1926 Ford touring car he taught my brothers and I lessons about working on cars with varying results. One lesson I took away from it that I never want to lap valves by hand again. He would have loved to see your shop!

Didn't know anyone did Babbitt bearings anymore. Except Keith Fenner!

Is that what the lead was for? I have very little knowledge of the flathead style engines... I'm used to conventional bearing engines.

@@jamesburris4078 Babbitt used in an engine bearing contains little if any lead. There are Babbitt alloys that do contain lead, but those are only used for very low speed industrial bearings, not engines. Modern insert bearings also have a Babbitt lining.

Still used in really big bearings. Most power stations run them in their turbine/generator train. But yes I'm a bit suprised there are an engine recco shops out there still doing it.

My dad has built and rebuilt dozens of engines over his 80 years but he tells me the early Ford Model T and A engines were the easiest to work on. And if you think about it, they had to be because there was no dealer or repair shop networks like there are today. In fact most repairs were done at blacksmith shops! So the engine had to be very simple to repair. Driving them, on the other hand, was quite a lot more driver engaged than cars of today. There's a LOT for the driver to do both before and during driving!

Ive noticed a number of videos you guys have made involve older fords. I have a unique tool handed down through my grandfather from his grandfather for these. From what ive been told there was a routine service needed on these that required removal of the engine to reach a set of bolts. Being a farm owner my great great great grandfather was unhappy with that time consumption since he did his own service, and designed and fabricated a tool to fit perfectly and allow the bolts removal without need to extract the engine. If you would be interested in adding it to your collection of classics, please let me know. It would do the ol mule proud.

My grandpa had a Model A he modified and raced in hill climbs. He used a 1928 block, bored and stroked it, and increased the compression ratio. Fun little car to ride in. Lots of good memories.
