- In this video I have a Willys F 134 engine that is getting some work done by the Storm Vulcan Blockmaster 85B. First the cylinder head is getting a light cut, and finished out at .0055" to get a perfectly flat surface. Next the block is setup and another light cut to see where the highs and lows are. The block cleaned up with just .003" taken off the deck surface. The Blockmaster is a great machine and worked better than I thought it would. Very easy to set up blocks and cylinder heads. I am sure it will be getting a lot of use in the future.

I could watch these clips of the cuts all day. It’s so satisfying to see the skim of the first one and the beauty of the last cut. Gets me all excited inside. I guess my standards for excitement are kind of low now that I’m realizing how happy it makes me lol
I agree, very satisfying to watch this machine in action. It is very powerful and cuts are absolutely perfect.
Engine master with his blockmaster! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Jim, this machine operates better than I expected. I am sure it will see a lot of action with all the engines I have lined up.
We still use our 85B daily, even today still one of the BEST !
These cleanup videos may seem boring, but it's an oddly satisfying process to see pass after pass with the surface cleaning up a thousandth at a time.
... All in-house now! -- it's a rebuilder's Dream... Perhaps a Balancing outfit is next :)
.... Great finish! -- Glad the Blockmaster is meeting expectations... We had trouble sourcing White and Hercules parts back in the 80's -- hope they won't be a problem to locate
... Thanks for Another great video! :)
The Blockmaster is great, wish I got it sooner. will show the hercules engine as it comes along.
Thanks for another very informative video. You are a master at what you do!
always appreciate you watching.
That is working great!! Good luck with the new machines. They came out great. .
What an interesting machine. I came up thru machine shops so I tend to go to massive metal shapers and jig bores. I can see this approach really saves on space and you don’t need to move 10,000 to 20,000 pound monsters! I am impressed!
I would love to have a super large shaper or even a big planer. Love Jig boring machines but have not been able to find a good one locally.
@@metalshaperJeep well that sucks. My brother sent his yuppie ass lawyers against our family and family home so I have to move. I had to scrap a 20 in Gemco shaper and a 24 in Rockford hydraulic shaper. Still need to figure out what to do with my Henley 16 in shaper and at least one Rockford open side planer shaper.
@@devmeistersuperprecision4155 Wow, that sucks, sorry to hear about your situation. Also sad to hear that you had to scrap your shapers. I have a 20" steptoe shaper that I have been trying to sell so I can upgrade to a 36" unit or an actual metal planer if I can find one.
Beautiful results with the blockmaster , nice machine .
Better than expected, this new machine is great
Kool tool The right tool makes the job easier and better. thanks
Yes, this machine is great
Glad that my lead planed out Brian. That's a beast 👍. I wouldn't know where to start, but to tram in a machine of that size must have taken a few hours? Bear
I love watching these blocks and head’s being saved for many more years of use
Nice work Brian. I like your new machine. The finish looks beautiful. Thanks for the video.
Very nice Brian! Super glad for you that you have your new machines up and running! I am sure they will bring you much joy
looks good, can't wait to see the crank grinder
Crank grinder is ready, just waiting on the coolant to be re shipped so I can start grinding.
awesome job sir ! yes crank grinder be so cool to see ty !
crank grinder videos coming soon, as soon as I get the coolant in the tank
nice finish!
Thank you! Cheers!
That does a nice job, appears much better than the old peterson type surface grinder, and would be far more accurate.
This machine is super solid and the cuts are perfect
Really neat video Brian! And I'm glad that the Blockmaster is helping you move along quicker. That finish is sure beautiful! Once you are done cutting the valve seats, could you show how do you set up the head to do a vacuum test on each seat? Thank you for all you share, take care!
Will try to get some video footage of the vacuum test
That's cool, thanks.
Nice tool
thanks for watching
Give us an idea of what these type of services cost. Thanks, I enjoy your videos very much.
Every job is different depending on engine, condition, and how many cuts it takes to clean it up.
Brian... The block Master is fast. Juan
Fast and super rigid, the cuts and finish are perfect.
What is different/better about this machine compared to the one you used previously to flatten blocks and heads? This is all new to me.
This machine can do much larger blocks such as straight sixs and eights. My milling machine could not handle much more than a four cylinder due to table travel. This is a much more powerful and sturdy machine.
I’m Looking for a rear PTO ,
Do you have an extra or know someone who does?
Keep up the great videos!
Where do you get your replacement cutters? Need some for mine
These engines came from the factory with hardened seats? I had my F head rebuilt and didn't know any history of it ever being rebuilt.
Late F heads started coming from the factory with hardened seats installed. Early motors did not have them.
@@metalshaperJeep I was wondering about it. I believe my F head that was just rebuilt was possibly from a 53. It had standard pistons in it. The shop discovered them when they resurfaced the block. We didn't need to buy any or install them. Win win in my opinion.
👍
thanks for watching
@@metalshaperJeep thanks for teaching… I learn and learn from you…. No joke… I have many Jeeps here in the Pacific Northwest. I’m the Jeep guy locally.. but I learnt from you
