Where else can you watch a man disassemble a car engine with a goat standing on top of it , chewing on a screwdriver? Simply brilliant!

You have to name Rocky's kid Rockette. Those look like triple square bolts like on VW's. You can get driver sets for those at Harbor Freight.

The way your daughter is looking at you at the beginning of this video is pure reference! That must be a wonderful feeling.

this is a wonderful show which is teaching good morals, getting the kids involved & a christian upbringing. Ralphie & the girls are 'gettin' er' done!

Rocky's baby- "Pebbles"!

My grandfather bought one new herr i sweden, 1962, 3door stationwagon. The roof was dark green and The rest creamwhite. He never took it out in the rain or winter. He passed away i 1988 and the car has then 46000kilometers . The engine were 1200cc

Yes celebrate your video even if you couldn't get it unstuck but now you know why and you got to show Ralphie another valuable lesson in engine mechanics not every engine will run. It was 42 yrs since anything was done to that one so obviously it was too long. Great video.

If you are want to make the old engine to run you should try to take a piece of wood and a hammer and beat down on the pistons (not too hard) to hopefully shock them loose. Btw love the vids keep it up!

You are awesome mate, always deliver good quality vids. Thanks for posting. Hey Ralphy you are a great lad. Look like your Daddy. Love the animals and Baby Rocky is a beauty. Cheers mate. Keep safe.

Man I love you videos ever since I found you when you dragged all them cars out of a garden, thanks for all the great content also love seeing rocky and the kittens etc much love from Ireland

I bought a new 1968 US spec Opel Kadett when I was in the army in Germany. That car took me all over Europe.

Great Channel. Love the fact that you would find it worth your while to spend time on this Opel. Great stuff. Keep up the good work.

Awww, Rocky's little offspring is so cute, name her Rachel. Sorry about the seized engine would loved to hear it run as my Wife had one of those cars in college. But time puts a hurt on everything even us humans. Good video keep them coming, and thanks.

Rocky's baby is so damn cute! I'd name him/her Opel.

That P.B.Blaster is really good stuff. I never heard of it and a friend told me to try it. WORKS GREAT 👍

Hey buddy that was a good try. With it sitting for 40 years you can't beat yourself up on it. You can still fix it up just put another four cylinder in it and make it a small family vehicle. As always Rocky trips me out. Rocky son you should name him ( little Rocky Junior ) after all it is his son. Rocky's just like everybody else you can't hate on barbecue. Good video brother. Hope you and your family have a good weekend & thank you for sharing.

Puddin's fab shop swears by vinegar he's had decent luck with it

Man I'm gonna be getting me a sleeper dude shirt pretty soon. Itll be one of my goin to town shirts.

I'll bet you have a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine around there somewhere. It should bold right up just fine! LOL

hi guys i was 10 yrs old when this car came out hope you have time to sort it out love your videos keep them comming all the best to you and family from paul

It'd be interesting to try just filling the whole crankcase and intake manifold/carb to the top with diesel and leave it for a few days or weeks, and see if that would free everything up.

Someone suggested the name pebbles for the baby goat. That's a great idea. The Opel drag car there's another great idea. 👍. Cheers from Canada

I'm late to this party but a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF work wonders on rusted parts. Better than anything commercially available

I had a opel cadet and loved it, that little sob was tuff. Many good memories of that car.

Cheers bro 🙂 that thing might go good with a Toyota 22re engine, cheap to put in

Baby Rocky should be named Pebbles. On the engine, if you had an infinite budget and parts, it might turn but I would wonder if you could find a shop that could repair the block and heads.

You may not have the room in that engine compartment but I,'ve freed up a 59 cadillac v8 with a 3ft chain wrench and cheater pipe around the harmonic balancer. Scared up the balancer a bit but didn't snap the bolt. Trans fluid in the cylinders, cleaned up the carb and got it to fire up. Smoked up the neighborhood when she fired up😁

a did have opel kadett in early 80s.the car was from 79.cool car back then.

Can't win them all...but that's the reality of life. Thanks for keeping the content real

love this opel, too bad is rare to find one these days, can't wait to see it working

1st new car, 1970 Opel Kadett, 2door coupe, $2,000 😋. Took one year of driving it 70 on I-75 rendering the engine useless. Rush hour stop and go in Detroit, one rainy morning, Semi with no trailer hit the brakes behind me, couldn't stop at low speed, my bumper ended up at the back of the back seat. Bought it from a Buick Dealership, deep blue with white interior🚙 . John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

Rocky really cracks me up sometimes....who knew screwdrivers were a food group! Maybe name Rockys kid "little rock" ✌

7:05 you do your best, but sometimes mother nature claims the engines in these things. Congrats on Rocky becoming a Dad! All he has to do is take notes from you on how to be a great one!

I think those 12 pointed bolts are called triple squares.

If you still have it...this should be your next burnout car. Love your videos!

Awesome video as always..! Still working on opening the RC Cola bottle at the bottom of our flip flops. Getting close. Cheers from California🍾

Star sockets

Did you check that the starter was not rusted to the flywheel? Another awesome video. Greetings from Ye Merrie Olde England.

Well ya'll tried man that little engine really stuck. Was workin on some rusted nuts other day out of pb blaster my son had some deep creep sittin there figured I'd try it I've never in 55 years had anything to work that quickly or good as that stuff does. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy ya'lls family time and homestead

I had a gold Opel Kadet wagon in 1972. Really enjoyed it.

I've always loved the Opel Kaddet. If the car were mine, I would find a Chevrolet 2.8 or a 3.4 engine and trans to put in it. They moved the 80's S10 and Camaros well enough and would be plenty of power for that car. They're also compact enough to fit in the engine compartment without too much of an issue.

I'm old enough to remember these cars, they weren't much good when they were new.

Son of Rocky has earned the name "Pebble"!

Put a block of wood on top a piston and hit it a few times with a hammer then go to the next. If it breaks something you aren't out anything but it's worked for me.

I wish you could have gotten that engine to run. I pulled the engine out of my Opal wagon with a rope thrown over a tree limb. Put a new clutch in and put it back together and kept on trucking 😁

I think you should name her Pebbles sense she is a little forum of Rocky. LOL

That block is toast! Rocky will eat the head if you left him alone long enuff lol

Rockys little girl is so cute ...he must be a proud father ...the engine is a mess....heres a thought put a 2.3 ford 4 in it fun to watch..

The new kid on the block. Call her rocket. Seen another you tub they used evapo rust worked like a charm .

Had two of these two-door "caravans" back in the days.....a '72 1900 "wagon" I drove in high school.....plain-jane, 4spd, carbureted, & dog dish hub caps. Second was later, after getting married....it was a '75 1900 Ralley(!) package with sporty steel Ralley wheels, extra gauges at the front of the console, and Bosch fuel injection! 😯......Both were the same green as your '69, but slightly "modernized" body style. Also, my great-aunt had a '73-74 1900 4dr "noth-back".....(we called it a sedan🙄) It was Carolina Blue with black & white interior and auto transmission..... Neat lil cars, for sure!

On the crank that snapped weld the best as you can possibly get to that bolt and use that to turn it over

You ain't giving up on it are ya? I was messing around on marketplace and saw a Opel and I said that looks similar to the one sleeperdude has. I then realized it's the same one!!!

Hahaha! Rocky's baby is a Rockette!! :)

Too bad that engine didn’t turn over but you gave it a good go at it! Glad I got my Rocky fix again - love the baby goat - being pure white, maybe “Snow” or “Snowy”?

You had me yelling 🤣 at the screen to stop ✋before you break the bolt 🔩 off in the crankshaft! Anyway, love the content, your cheeky sense of humor and the 60's elevator music! Please keep it coming.

Happy to see Rocky has started a family just too cool videos

OPEL. Like the car your working on.

Jogs I had one of those sit was a cool wagon to drive enjoyed it

Exactly right. It's known as a CIH or cam-in-head engine.

Little baby rocky sure is a great addition to that beautiful family you got there. Boy that motor was one solid block of rust! Keep up the good work, this is great content. 👌🏻

Love all these old cars. Your channel is really good. I also have learned me a things

Hi, you've a cool bunch of helpers, as usual. My first car was an Opel K 180. It was a cool car.

ATF AND PAINT THINNER 50/50 MIX IS THE ENGINE UNSTICK FLUID.👍👍

Brake fluid eats paint. Use a straw to apply by dipping straw in brake fluid and place your finger on end of straw to seal & hold fluid in straw. Release fluid by removing your finger. This is a good use for old brake fluid.

I can't believe you did That to the crank bolt. Wow...

My manual transmission 1.9L Opel Rallye would run with stock small block Chevys. When the BMW 2001 came out, the Opel ran even with the BMW.

Your goat is serious about mechanics

I had a 69 kadet ls wagon very good dependable car

The old aircooled vw engines are the same way.the crank pulley bolt will just turn and turn when trying to get it unstuck

I LOVE IT. Get it running. Make sure it's safe, brakes and tires, and I'll trade you my 96 Lincoln Town Car. Those cars are cool. I'd really like to get an Opel Diplomat. But they weren't sold in the states. Cool video.

Call her Pebbles ... lol - Flintstones .

The Rocky is the Kolbenfresser. 😃😂👍🏼😅

Vinegar is a rust remover, but it's very slow compared to standard methods such as phosphoric acid.

Great Video! I learned a lot watching you explore. Thanks!

awesome video Sleeperdude

I remember back in the mid seventies watching a dude at the drag strip at Green Valley Race Way in north Texas racing one of these with a BBC 396 and a 4 speed. Of course it was highly modified but would run low 10s high 9s in the quarter.

I would really like to see complete rebuild from pulling body and complete build from Fram up. It would take a lot of time for you but I think it would be really cool Thanks for all your hard work

Thanks for the video sleeperdude. Congratulations to Rocky a good name could be rocket👍

Its crazy to think thats 4 decades ago you could walk outside and see this car shining in the driveway ready to go

I had one of these in 1972. I believe the engine was a tiny one liter and didn't have much power. Had a problem with accelerating until I figured out the retainer holding the baseplate in the distributor had broken and caused the points to spring wide open when accelerating which totally altered the gap.

Should name Rocky's baby Roxette.

Rocky is the video. Love him

Awesome job mate it's great how your kids help 👍

Nice video I remember working on these cars to change the engine used to lift the body up and roll the engine out on the front tires the engine sizes were 1.1 1.5 1.9

Name baby Rocky ... Pebbles ! Because pebbles are small rocks lol 🤣🤣 I watch you all the time ! I was raised in Greensboro north Carolina ! Am just a good old country boy to !! So yeh pebbles would be a cool name !! ROCK ON DUDE !

All the engine that was stuck I always pull the head and clean the rust out of the cylinder walls and drain the oil then I put PB blaster in the cylinders and let it soak then I take a 2 x 4 and put it on the Pistons and hit it with a hammer to get it to move so the bolt don't break off the Crank shaft especially if you want to save the engine

Vinegar works very well... I use it alot to break up rust in stuck engine block

Rocky's baby: Girl-Rockette, Boy- Rocket or Rocker.😁 👍🇺🇸😎

They are called STAR bits.

BEAUTYFUL baby Rocky

A 2.2 Ecotec and a 5-speed out of an old S-10 would be a good swap with plenty of power. Kadetts weigh about the same as a Festiva. You don't need 300 horsepower to go really well. The CIH engine was made to fit under a lower hood line. The block dates from the fifties. Instead of a new engine, they just updated what they had.

I'd love to have that Opel and put a fresh Toyota engine in it. Like a Prius set up. Or just a 4 cylinder engine with all the goodies. Really enjoyed this Opal video. God Bless.

Pretty shot on the engine. Name Rocky’s Baby Junior . It would make a great car to convert to a drag car. It’s light enough.

I had a '68 Kadett Rallye with the 1900- it was a bear finding the metric Allen wrench for the head bolts back in 1974- I think we finally wound up ordering it through Buick - hey, if you could locate one, this little thing would be a screamer with an aluminum 215 Buick in it !!

I bought a project car and dropped the pan in the engine. It had two thrown rods and probably more than a few seized bearings. I would have waited forever for vinegar, wd 40, or Marvel, or diesel fuel to lube up rings and cylinder wall. Ok, the holes in the oil pan was a clue. Also, I once took and old pulley and had some angle steel welded to it to make a handle. This was to turn the crank without breaking the bolt. Or, to hold the crank while removing the bolt.

Rocky's daughter should be called Roxette! Thanks again for the video.

I was getting ready to comment, use some vinegar and then you said people have been saying try vinegar lol! I love watching you and your family work together on these will it run videos. Not to mention Rocky giving a hand or shall I say a hoof lol!

The Opel GT coupe uses all the me hanicals & I think floorpan so you should be able to use/do whatever is done to them.

That would make a great hot rod sleeper

every time you get some where that rust shows up keep on wrenching
