- Today we take the free 1951 plymouth cranbrook and attempt to get it to stop smoking in a last ditch effort. Will it get back on the road? or is it doomed??

The hole that you pointed out on cylinder 6 is so you can detect when the piston is a TDC. Number 6 and number 1 hit top dead center at the same time. You can there by set and time the distributor
Excellent stuff. New rings would come close to sorting it. 🇬🇧👍
It's really fun to see the old Plymouth running. Wish you all the success with this project. I look forward to the next episode. Thanks!
That circle is a plug so you can measure the stroke. 218 and 230 had the same bore size stroke is different. You can use a stiff piece of wire down the plug hole to determine stroke.
These are underrated collector/ classic cars. My 1st car in 1965 was a 55 Plymouth Belvedere 6 cylinder flathead with 3 on the tree. For over the last 20 years i've had a 53 Plymouth Cranbrook coupe, that's evolved into a drag and drive car. I'm documenting the latest remodel on the 53 Plymouth channel. Check it out. Enjoy the repair process!
Hey, you got it unstuck, running and even smoking less. Its a win. Can't wait for the Magnum swap on the wagon!
💪 😎 Thank you
yes!!! install little...over haul balls down the cylinders!
Good effort. The block needs to be rebuilt. Not a good thing. Easier is better. Not in the case of this 51. Thanks for sharing!
I really like your videos! Well done. Keep up the good work!
Dang, I hoped to see the honed cylinder wall after you got done. Kind of a before and after comparison.
I'm glad it some what worked out...
I'll post a picture here in a second what it looked like after honed
Ok I just posted it, look under "community" on my channel
Cool video brotha!!!! Bummer about the cylinder!
Fun to watch videos! Yep it's got broken, stuck rings and cylinder water damage pitting. She's had a rough life...
Either someone put a million miles on it or it wasn't maintained properly behind valve covers is very "sludgy".
yale engine overhaul pellets they pop up on eBay every so often don't need the motor oil that comes with just the pellets you heat up the motor and pull the spark plugs and drop the pellets down there an alloy lead that melts around the rings and semi repairs a cylinder walls used to be able to buy him and JC Whitney catalog I have a few in my emergency prep they usually come for I've restored several Geo metros that had over a million miles no joke with the has like zero compression and it brought it back to make it run for another 100,000
Never heard of that. Ill look them up
@@somewhatfast try a can of engine restore in it I wanna see what effect that has on it see if it helps it I’ve had it work on a car smoking way worse than yours before try that before you give up on that engine I’ll be looking for a new video where you try a can of engine restore on it it might help it you got nothin* to loose by trying it hope this helps you awesome video
@@robbieturnbull4253 I used engine restore ona n old Ford 8n tractor it brought 2 cylinders from 30 psi compression up to 130 psi. But it still the tractor still smoked. I ended up resleeving the engine new pistons and rings.
@@somewhatfast it would still be interesting to see how the car reacts to it
Good.job 😄😄good car 👍👍👏👏cool
Thanks for the visit
Number five looks to be marked 20 over. Couldn't tell for sure, but didn't see any markings on the other pistons.
22-14787 was the marking on top of #5 i Google it couldn't find anything. 2 of the other pistons were marked STD as in standard bore.
Bad rings bad bearings in the lower end piston slap and possibly bad valve guides. Needs full overhaul
I agree it is a very worn engine behind the valve covers the springs are gunked up with a thick layer of sludge. Most likely wasn't maintained either.
yeah you got stuck rings and a hole 🕳 in a piston you might sleeve it and put in a used piston but if the rest of the rings are shot you will need to pull them out to see
Might as well do full rebuild at that point. I'll have to sit on it and think about what we are going to do.
RE failing vs trying - good motto!
But don't ya just love those old flat head 6 cylinder engines. To me they are awesome.
I've had a bunch and they always run no matter what kind of crazy stuff is wrong with them.
@@somewhatfast I have a 51 Plymouth Concord 2dr fastback. I kept stock. I bought it when I was 12 years old. Been messing with for 50 years now. Still haven't driven on the road legally. Missing interior. Kids and life.
Not that this will help you but I’ve had old cars smoke real bad like that from glazed cylinder walls because the carb was dumping so much fuel, after fixing the carb I filled the washer bottle with AJAX and water, then held it wide open and ran the washer fluid into the carb, the water cleans out all the carbon and the Ajax takes the glaze off the cylinder walls and piston rings, it ain’t pretty but it worked
Thats good know. I've used water in a squirt bottle to clean carbon before. This block needs to be machined though.
You gave it a dam good try mate
Thanks for watching ian
One can bore the bad cly. out and put a sleeve in it.
💰 though
@@somewhatfast True, but, you'll have a matching numbers car. That's worth $$$. But, it's your car, I say build it however you'd like too. Besides, if you didn't pick this car up in the first place the earth would have reclaimed it in a few years. All that'd be left is a pile of rusty dust. So, props to you.
If you are going to do a V8 swap on the wagon just put the motor from the wagon in there
I'm contemplating that but I'm trying make the V8 swap pay for its self by selling the motor and trans and parting out the dodge ram. We will see if I can make it work. The O/D trans is worth about a $1000 on the 55 Plymouth.
@@somewhatfast I'd ask for more than that. Those O/D transmissions are getting extremely hard to find. I bought a 37 O/D for my '38. I paid $2k for it. I guess as always though its how bad somebody wants the tranny. 😀
If nothing elese you can drive the mosquitoes away, when the weather warms up. Bug Control Taxi Cab. We'll keep the vermin away!
One guy commented that I need to figure out how to turn the smoke blue and make a killing on gender reveals. 🤣
@@somewhatfast Simon says, there's only two genders. To that I would have to agree. It's our God given rights.
ich habe ein tipp der verbrennt mehr öl als binzin deswegen kallmt der wagen auch so ng
Danke fürs zuschauen
Oil pick up full of rubbish 🙀
They are always gunked up probably should drop the pan on any car that has sat longer than 10 years
More smoke the better
👍🏻💯🇦🇺
whats the compression test say?
Haven't ran one yet
Would have told you everything you need
@@talltom1129 compression test aren't magic. They can't tell you if 0 is a hole in a piston or a stuck valve. Its pretty obvious by the way it smokes that it has no rings left.
Take off the head and hone the cylinders.
I did, it needs machined
Knocking is a bad rod bearing also why bit has low oil pressure.
Stopped knocking after i honed and cleaned cylinders. It was piston slap
