When the cylinders are down on compression, always use 2-stoke fuel so that you do not get drywall and better valve seating in old engines as they hate sparks in a can. Or so I have found here in Australia. Ours is called Start-Ya-Bastard.

The thing I love most about Junkyard Digs and Kevin is the format doesn't change. A video from years ago could be watched between two of the latest and it's the same great content. So many channels try to change things up and end up losing that magic that brought the people back for that comfortable escape or vicarious experience of watching what you always wanted to try but never got around to or are just starting out and want some good inspiration and the wealth of knowledge that Kevin brings to the audience. I'm always excited when a new Junkyard Digs video drops because there aren't any bad ones. Keep up the great work! Cheers brother. Hey Mook!

I know that Kevin is addicted to his brake clean starting of old junkers, but I can’t help but wince each time he does it. Brake clean is really good at washing away oil, the one thing you don’t want in an old engine cylinder with low compression. Maybe it would be a good move to switch to 2-stroke fuel like TruFuel you can get at any parts store??

I agree and have commented on this several times. The best thing to use is gas with 2-stroke oil. Maybe he should start wiping his ass with sandpaper and then he would understand what the pistons feel like with brake clean. It's also not smart to beat on rocker arms with a hammer. As you saw how that turned out.

I'm jealous, there were many neat cars in our family that "escaped" hat both young Shawn (me then) and old Shawn (Me now) would of loved to have. Such as Grandpa's '34 Dodge DB8 Convertible Sedan, the '41 Dodge convertible that replaced it or '54 DeSoto sedan with the Firedome V8 or even the '57 Chrysler 2 door Grandma traded it off on after he passed. Or Dad's 53 Packard Convertible or his Aunt's Packard Caribbean convertible. On the other side of the family there was Great Grandpa's '49 Mercury or the Corvair convertible his daughter bought to replace it when he passed.

I really liked this episode, it brought back some great memories. I had a 1950 Super. It belonged to an older woman that lived near my home. I would help her often doing the small chores around her house. I became the proud owner of it when I was 14 in 1967. She never drove it after her husband died because she didn’t know how. When she sold it to me for $80 it was in pretty good condition. It was incredibly dirty but it only needed to be washed. The tires were all bad so I bought a set of recaps. That old car drove beautifully. It was such a beast on the road because of it’s size. On one trip I took it on it averaged 18 mpg. Surprisingly good for such large car. Have fun with your fine old Buick.

When i started my mechanics apprenticeship in1985 here in New Zealand, one of the first cars i worked on was a 53? Buick convertible. It had electric /hydraulic front seat with a 5 gallon oil tank and pump in the right fender. It was a (nailhead?) v8 with a dyna flow cast iron transmission. It took 12 litres to fill it up. It had the original owners name engraved in the centre steering wheel. You got a lot of work done on it in a short time. It was good to see it running even if it does need a water pump and heater core. LOL

Nice to see you guys finally do a Buick; I'm an old Buick nut who's owned countless vintage Buicks over the years. When you took the brakes apart I was screaming at my monitor that you won't find the right shoes. I used to have a 46 Super, and I ended up getting the shoes relined. Same problem, parts stores are wrong. The Dynaflow is slow, but chances are it's all gummed up, the torque converter stator is staying in high pitch, it's not flattening out - the red line on those cars was only about 3800, at 60 mph that thing should be doing about 3000-3200. It'll do 80 on a good day, just once though. Those engines have slush cast Babbitt bearings and lousy top end oiling, so no excessive RPMs. As for the tranny seal, it's likely the torque ball seal, they always go, so you'll fill your rear axle with tranny fluid. Fill the shocks up with motorcycle shock fluid, they'll come back. Also; I think the rear axle tubes in that rear end are still dry, so the axles have to come out and the bearings need to be repacked, otherwise it'll howl like a banshee. And yes, Cold War Motors has a couple 1950 Buicks, one of them runs, so we're watching...oh, and mechanical parts aren't that hard to find for one of those, they still exist, you just have to know where and who has them! Hope to see more of this car, hopefully with a hood on and still stock. (Although those Buick Road wheels didn't look too bad...)

That go cart was so frickin cool! Brought me right back to about 1990 when I was 11; built a go cart with a REO mower engine exactly like that off from a reel mower. I mated it to a 3 speed 1960s garden tractor transmission and the engines built in gear reduction was perfect. My frame was all wood with old wheelbarrow wheels, the steering a wire driven rack and pinion contraption. It went all of 15mph but "rowing" through the gears on that goody thing was life for a couple years. Dad had to help me with some of the drivetrain finer points but that was it, him and his buddies would laugh and laugh...I mowed lawns just to earn money for gas 😆

That was one of the best revivales you have ever done, period. You did so well to achieve what you did you should be proud of yourselves. That car is wonderful. Thanks Tom for getting the lads involved in this. I loved Tom's humour, sometime's closer to the knuckle than usual, but didn't offend. As for the brake shoe mods, never seen that before, so was interested in how it went, seems ok. Just goes to show things were done differently then. THANKS, from UK.

That forge shop looked amazing, like a step back in time. I'd say that heater core has a massive hole in it 😂 as if the water pump wasn't leaking enough fluid. At least it was moving the coolant.

My very first (and so far only) revival was a 1952 Pontiac Chieftain straight 8, that had sat for years, and then the daughter of the owner had it brought to my high school shop class after he passed away. This was 2002. Then, it sat in the shop up on a 4 post hoist for 3 years because nobody could get ahold of the lady, and nobody in class had any interest in working on the car (they just wanted to work on their own cars I guess). Until I came along and was obsessed with it. I was able to get it running and driving, and treated the thing like my baby, keeping other students away from it. My shop teacher was trying to work out the abandonment laws to see if I could even take the car home, but obviously that’s all really complicated. Wouldn’t you believe it, OUT OF THE BLUE, the woman calls asking about the car. She had it picked up a week later.

Black pepper is great for clogging up coolant leaks. Just run the motor with coolant until warm, start dumping pepper in and it will clog whereever the hole is. (who carries black pepper in the trunk i hear you say? 🤣)

My first project car was a 50-60’s Buick (can’t remember the specific year). Fixed it up with my grandfather and he drove it around for a bit until he got sideswiped and it was totaled about 4 months later. My grandfather was more devastated to tell me it was totaled than he was over the fact that it was totaled😂
