That’s a really good video even if I never find a block it’s still interesting information thanks!
✝️🇺🇸👍 thanks for the video have a blessed day
Excellent video. Only annoying thing is seeing a couple of muppets have disliked it? Why do they bother. If they wanted a video on flower arranging they're on the wrong page.
I'm definitely saving this one as it'll be extremely useful when I start my forthcoming project.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that.
Thanks Danny! I have several blocks that needed to be bored/sleeved, but now I know where to look for cracks. Hopefully a couple of my engines are salvageable. Can't wait for more flathead content!
thank you. I've been thinking the next video will be on boring and sleeving.
Whoever's the ONE dislike, no one respects you.
thank you very much!
That one dislike is from someone who had one and is now kicking themselves for giving it away thinking it was junk.
Thanks Danny. I have had 3 blocks crack just as you have pointed out. Hard to find good blocks anymore.
I have checked 10 just to get one good one.
Great information.
The intro and outro music was a bit too loud though.
darkiee69 That's what I thought!
@@elainesoliz2205 Agreed, intro and outro music could go down 5dB or so. Danny's volume was great throughout the vid, but you could lower the background music a tiny bit more too. Was still good though!
sorry , that's what Elaine said.
Flathead blocks crack so much that by 1949 ford was putting part numbers on the cracks
Thanks
Look good to me, and you explain it really well; another great video.
thank you
@@MrDanielSoliz No hay de que; see you tonight.
Nice you the man Danny
Good info! Thanks Danny!
( Ha ha your camera person sounds a lot like Faye ;-)
It was all music to my ears brother, Thank you for all your hard work. I really liked the very defined and informative point of view of where to look for cracks in the block. Keep the French Flathead alive!!
Howdy from the Hill Country! Great to see you doing some technical videos! Can't wait to see more content, especially if its Mopar or Cummins related! Hint Hint ,Great Video and Great Channel!
Hi Danny, that was a great video and very informative.
Can't wait to see your next one.
You, Shop Mom and Faye stay safe.
MUSIC, PEASE & ASSEMBLY GREASE!!!
Great Info Danny!
Thank you Toolfather for your words of wisdom! Bless you for doing this, hang in there, and I cannot wait for the next one.
thank you.
Awesome video man:) Have a good day:) Tell shop mom I said hi:)
thank you,will do.
Great video Danny. Can't wait to see more.
thank you.
That's good information Mr. Solize..thank you..maybe sometime you could touch on why so many fast flathead came out of Canada back in the day..thanks
thank you.
Very interesting Danny. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Excellent content. Transitions were a little awkward, but that'll get better in time. Great info for those looking to build a flathead. I'm just waiting to hear it come back to life.
You and Shop Mom stay safe!🙏
thank you.
Great video Danny !
thank you.
"Where to look for cracks on a flathead ford." Waves hand over entire motor.
I have three uncracked 8BA's, but went through 20 blocks to find them.
Great video Danny, short and to the point. Hope to see a video on how to magnaflux the block for those invisible cracks, they still do that right ? Not use some dye.....Anyway stay safe and see ya'll tomorrow.
thank you , will do.
You’re doing well Danny. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Is there any kind of marker or indicator we could carry with us that would help make the crack more visible when inspecting at a junk yard or swap meet?
Farmergirl of Chickens thank you and no not really.
My nephew just bought a 51 Ford Flathead Ford door it's in beautiful shape bullshit but I noticed the other day he was running it, and I noticed antifreeze bubbling by a headbolt The engine was supposed to be rebuilt and has less than 2000 miles on it away that was one I believe .He bought it as is it is from a dealership in Michigan where we had it shipped to Philadelphia, I don't think he put 20 miles on the car and I noticed that, It's a shame He spent $20000 for it.. Just about 3 weeks ago But if that sounds like a head gasket issue let me know kindly thank you...
Not to worry, that’s common on anything with studs. We always put sealer on all studs that go into the block and seal the nuts. Occasionally we still get a little bit of antifreeze up one of the threads. That’s why when we run them in on the stand we run sealer in the cooling system. All he has to do is run a good sealer and he will be ok. It’s not a head gasket.
Nice up beat video.
thank you'
Cool info! Does grinding off all the sharp edges to reduce stress risers help prevent cracking? Or do most cracks happen internally or regardless? Thanks!
good question,yes it does. I like deburring everything.
Daniel, have you heard of lock n stitch?
Dregs Garage We do that at the shop regularly. Danny learned that process as a child and has been doing it ever since.
