Looks like a fine engine to me. I like the way T people seem to be so much more relaxed with a good sense of humor compared to A people. Perhaps thats why they don't worry so much about pawning their old cars off on the youth. Just let them come naturally. Good video as always
I overhauled my '26 for less than 100 bucks, new rings, valve job, we took a 2000 mile trip west to ND badlands, then Devil's Tower, then Rushmore, SD badlands, across SD to MN, unassisted and alone, that was 12 years ago, still runs great, 10-30 oil.
I have an original copy of the book "Ford Methods and the Ford Shops", published in 1915. The steps for engine assembly are listed on pages 118 to 127. The last step, step 84, says "Paint motor - remove from line.". So in 1915 at least, workers were told to paint the motors. Of course, painting the engines may have been discontinued later in the name of efficiency.
Great video! The old cam gear looked like one of the infamous fiber gears that tend to strip out. Being helical cut gears, I wonder if the crank and cam gears should be meshed, and then slipped on together, kind of like a double roller timing gear set on a more modern V8.
Did you find any other information from other owners who used Nylon gears ? That seems abit too tight, I'd be abit worried about the nylon expanding when it heats up and binding things up.

DUDE! Please post more often. You're doing great.
Thank you, I'm trying to.

I always enjoy your videos. I also keep learning from them!
I have that same green Schwinn Sting Ray from my childhood in my garage.
Another good video. Thanks. You and I have the same idea around comfortable workshop footwear.
What a great video how the engine has evolved over the years thank God for Henry Ford

Great to see you making progress with your T engine. I am about to tackle my 1931 Model A engine.
I agree with you about the authentic color. It looks right on!
OHSA approved flip flops. Always wanted to do up a T engine.
Good job on the engine.
Always entertaining and enlightening. GOod work!
Yep, another cheap Model T engine overhaul. Sunday night just notched up from meh. Thank you! Hope you're doing well; keep up the "good" work (ha ha).
super good. Much appreciate the effort.
Another great video.
Thanks for posting!

The lack of cam gear play might be down to bad alignment upon re-boring the main bearings.
It's just plastic, it'll wear in.
I put an aluminum gear in instead of the plastic one. Seems OK.

Yep, the old one is a fiber gear. I'm doing some research now to figure out what's going on with the new one.
I prefer the brass timing gears. I wonder how long the nylon gear will last
I'm doing some research to figure out what's going on with the clearance. I may end up getting a metal gear for it anyway.
Check with Dan McEachern regarding the cam gear.
Good video! I'm a distributor cheater... no mag I don't regret it a bit Cheers
Thank you. I don't blame anyone for not using the mag. Can be more trouble than they're worth sometimes.

I wouldn't use nylon gears if you gave them to me for free, I've seen how long nylon bolts last, they strip out the first time you tighten it.
You seem to have the appropriate attitude for Model T work. I’m looking forward to more videos about this engine.
I'd like to do something about the clearance issue. Doing research about it now.
My 1923 had traces,of original black on it. Not much, but some.
That's interesting.
Surprised the gear was nylon
roll the dice
