30 of years rebuilding Detroits. A 12V71 striped and in acid tank and clean up area 7 hours (or your in shit). It is somewhat frustrating to watch you strip engine but brings back memories since I retired 25 years ago
There are several ways to repair your cracked block…some are relatively simple..the lock and stitch plugs work very well Machining a plate to mount externally is more complicated …welding by a competent welder using pre heat and regulated cool down can work In any event good luck
I vote for lock and stitch too, probably the least possibility of going wonky on you. Somebody who really knows their cast iron could weld it, sure, but will it crack again? Maybe. That's enough for me to favour other repair processes. Whatever you do Steve, we're pulling for ya man.
Such a cool Engine. Can't wait to see what you put it in. You still looking for a Ford "2 storey" Cabover? I know there was one Ford Cabby that looked pretty cool.
An old International 4300 & this engine would be best friends.
That tool you made is Genius I need one.
Man Steve...that looks like a lot of work...by the way great video. From a fan in Oregon...
Can't wait until she's done, I love my Detroit's.
very cool. interesting.

A handheld impact driver would probably work nice on those cam screws
Awesome. Love these shop videos. Hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving.

Looks like the cams have turn at same speed as crank - Of course its a 2 stroke.
I think that engine would look great in a K100 🤑🤑🤑
wonder what the torque on the screws are?
That plate you chewed up is a locking plate to keep the cam nut from coming loose take it of first than the nut
For sure.
At 17:37 something bumped your camera.
Air hose
Alright, just making sure.
Nobody wants their truck shop to be haunted.
If it's leaking it has oil exowner of a 318 or 8-71
Timing mark the gears relative position?
How many intake valves on that Jimmy?🤣
None
Did you ever get your son's car back on the road with new engine or a rebuilt that engine if it could be
I wonder if you had loosened the nut on the timing side before you added your tool, it was so easy.
If you end up needing a head or cams for this engine you won't have a hard time finding them since they are the same as a 6-71.
