50/50 acetone &trany fluid works great for rusty stuff!! I know a few people that have dumped ajax down the cylinders and spun it over for a period to scuff the cylinders and rings to get the motor to quit smoking, an old car lot trick!! Any who Merry Christmas and Happy New year, preciate ya!!🎅🎅
Okay, I built a 1962 Ford 6 cylinder once, so let me tell you how to build a Hemi! Yeah, listen up! Oops, wrong channel. LOL!!!! Merry Christmas my friend!!! Live long and prosper! Regards, Solomon
Seems like they're might be a bit of rust at the top of a couple of cylinders you can't see from botfom side, or a bent push rod... With the amount of sludge and water in the pan collecting for however long its been sitting would suggest some moisture got in a couple cylinders
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you Waylon!! Thank you for the time and effort you put in to share your interests!! I've enjoyed watching you now for a number of years. May 2020 be a fun and prosperous time!!
You will get it figured out Hemi man I honestly believe you will just sit back and slide that there green go go juice away and get you a big old glass of sweet tea LOL

Thunk-ouches is what my kids used to holler! I enjoy your monologue Ken because your brain works like this Missouri boy’s brain works-slowly, but surely the proper conclusion is always reached, or, ya know, realized. 😂😂✌🏻 ps...my “green courage-juice” recipe consists of spinach, water, ice if you like it cooler, peaches (any fruit will suffice) Greek yogurt and a dash of Cayenne-yummy!
Hey Ken! Just watched the video and was doing something that I ain’t so good at........”thinking”🤔........this here is what I thunk up; that stuck valve being a “intake” and in a kinda corner location to all the rest, iffin that was the lowest corner when she was stored, maybe outside, could be that’s how the water got inside the crankcase. Well ring gaps usually ain’t situated in a location where all the water would drain down.......so..... it just may be that you have a build up of rust near TDC on that piston now I said “near”. If I waz you, I think I’d put me some more “juice loose” in that cylinder and work her up and down/back and forth and see if them rings would scrape that rust out of that cylinder. Also; I might try and stick some kinda measuring device down that plug hole and see iffin that piston stops at the same spot on both sides of the crank swing........OH! YEAH!! You done got the pan off already......what a dummy I am! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!, Captain BUCKLEY(ret,)
Merry Christmas. For the valves, I'm wondering if you have a heat gun to see if that helps loosen the valve guides? I'd be using B'laster and avoiding flames.

I'd be tempted to simply look down the spark plug holes with a flex-cam to see if someone dropped a nut or something into the cylinder. Don't laugh, Nick over at Nick's Garage in Montreal opened up a 440 only to find a nut embedded in a piston. The engine was actually running prior to his taking it apart but he said it made a funny noise which prompted the tear down. Go figure! lol. In his case they figured it may have entered the cylinder through the intake but with an engine which has been laying around, who knows what has taken place. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
i guess from growing up poor on the farm, the first place my mind goes is how can I get by with what i have.. not where can I go buy something. you know I always do things the hardest way lol
Merry Christmas ken, say... have you ever done or wanted to do a Little Buick V6 (I.e Fireball 198, Dauntless 225 or a Even-Fire 231) to Build something?
I'm sure you already know this, but I would remove all of the spark plugs and squirt some transmission fluid down all of the cylinders before you work the engine back and forth again. What you're dealing with is most likely some water that got down into the engine at some point and rusted the top of some of the cylinders and the rings don't want to move past it. Rust can form just by the engine sitting in a damp place, or even condensation can cause rust inside of an engine. I've definitely seen it before many times. I'm sure you know this already, but it never hurts to hear it from an outside perspective. I will say that rotating assembly looks CLEAN as heck. There must not have been enough oil in the pan for the crank to have been sitting in it.
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire Sorry buddy, I saw the most recent comment was only 22 hours old and I figured it was the most recently uploaded vidya.

Sometimes the most obvious thing to do isn't always the first thing that comes to mind. Like with the stuck valve, I posted a comment to spray the stem with penetrating oil and work it back and forth with a small pry bar, but you had already beaten me to it. Sometimes I'm just better off to wait until the end of the video to post a comment or suggestion. Sometimes I'm just too helpful for my own good! I watch MANY different channels from fishing, to cars, to antique cars, to junk dealers, to ships, to war stories, to everything else that comes to mind. I'm a very mechanically inclined dude, like you, but I'm also a very open minded person. Merry Christmas to you and yours buddy!
It seems everyone has beat to death the rusty cylinder theory and I can hardly wait for the follow-up video. I know you like to highlight old school rural engineering problem solving,,, my methods also but, putting your bare hands in that old engine sludge from that oil pan that was probably heavy with lead from the years of running GOOD GASOLINE can be very unhealthy. Thanks for sharing your videos and I hope you will continue for many years ! Merry Christmas!!
I hear what you say about taking advice from the you tube keyboard jockeys. There is a guy in Carolina that has a channel called Jonathan w . He loves resurrecting the old stuff. Check him out if you get a minute
Some moisture could have gotten into the cylinders and now from where they were set for so long, there's a little rust ring in one place on a cylinder wall that you haven't broken through yet. Did you pour trans fluid or some other lubricant in all the spark plug hole? If not do that and keep working at and it should break free. But you probably know that. So why bother telling you? I'm one of those keyboard mechanics with practical experience. LOL! Good luck and Merry Christmas!
yeah, I thought there might be some rust in one of the cylinders so I didnt push it.. didn't want to break rings but I put a scope in all the holes and they were clean.. stay tuned!!
Don't drop yer nuts! It's just fun saying..HEMI! Those jealous parts..missing out on all the fun.Toss some of that mean green down the plug holes..that'l kill it or cure it! Nasty spooge in that lower end. I'd say one (or more..) of those cylinders is rusted up on top.
I respect your “do no harm” methodical approach. You got me thinking whats binding. It’s easy to apply 30 psi air through the sparky hole and listen for the rush. Also look at the fuel pump drive for binding. I wish we could see behind the timing cover & check her teeth and chain.
Of course you have this going by now, but one thing that could be done in this situation would be to use an automotive camera to look down the spark plug holes while the engine is being turned (two man job) or when the engine is against that sticky spot. Doing so could highlight some rust on the cylinder walls, a bent valve or one that doesn’t close fully, or even if there is the dreaded foreign body in the cylinder. I picked one up for pretty cheap not too long ago. Just a thought for others. Always enjoy your videos, Ken!
Corvette Ben had a small block Chevy act the same way your boat anker is . It came down to two broken pistons . next tow each other . Top of piston broke off to the top ring grove. Maybe seen if you can rent one of thim bore scoops. good luck with your engine. TZ
My friend you have a weather seized motor there the top part of one of those cylinders that was probably open to the air because of the valve position has a rust film. You should pull the heads and properly clean that rust or you're going to have an unhappy cylinder and rings. The symptoms a bad motor rotating part of the way and then binding are very typical.
It's good that you didn't try to crank it because there is a split pin missing from the rocker shaft .if the little cap comes out,you lose oil pressure to the rockers .instant wear to the shafts. I got all of my rocker shafts hard chromed,which was then ground to size. This stops them wearing out too soon. Especially if the engine is revved while cold. The hemi rocker gear is lubed each 1/2 turn of the cam. not the greatest idea but it worked ok for my engines. heres my 354 T on the salt years ago. www.dlra.org.au/grtrip98.htm
wow..so great that you got to have that experience.. the salt flats! thats the ultimate. I wanted to let you know I replaced that cotter pin in the rocker shaft. GOOD EYE! I dont know how you spotted that in the video but thanks! when I pulled the valve cover to replace it, I did learn that the top side has been oiling well.. oops! I let the cat out of the bag didn't I! haha.. take care and thanks again, you may have saved me from totally wrecking this beast
I would suspect that you didn't just do this yesterday. so by now you either got tthat thing spinin like a kids top or. there are hemi parts scattered from here to breakfast and back !
according to wiki, it would have been a 5.4 or a 5.6 depending on what model car it was in. why did I look that up for you when you could have done it just as well! haha.. boy im a nice guy! hahaha.. take care, thanks for watching
The stuck valve most likely let moisture in and rusted from the top of the piston up won’t see under the pan gotta pull heads worse case is it scored the cylinder walls cause of rust and would have to be honed but could be alittle surface rust and break free
might want to get a bore scope and look down into the cylinders through the spark plug holes for something that might have fallen in through the intake manifold
Did you toss some trans fluid down the plug holes and let it soak on the top end of those pistons that's what I do get lucky with breaking stuck Engines up with it
I just got a new inspection camera that connects easy to an iPad or phone off Amazon cheap. Works awesome and might allow you a good look down those cylinders. Great video.
Obviously it has a rusty cyl. ,probably on that cyl. that had the valve open ,I noticed it was quite near the Exhaust Manif. outlet, so likely had moist air getting in through the open exhaust valve. Pull that Head, and turn that piston down to bottom D.C.and simply Hone the rust off the cyl. clean it, oil it up replace the head and then she'll probably run. It seems as though you are trying to do it up on a shoe lace budget (no offence) and also perhaps the rings will free up etc. good luck ! They are amazing old motors !
yeah, everybody and their pet coon says there is rust in the cylinders but I scoped them and they are very clean.. all will be reviled in tonights video. as for the budget, I'll spend what I "need" to "when" I need to. im not a tightwad, I'm just having fun. when I restored my 63 impala, I spent whatever i needed to and thought nothing of it but when I built my rockabilly rat, I found it was WAY more fun to finagle and swap and trade and scrounge for parts haha.. it inspires the young guys who dont have 30 k to spend but they see my rat and realize they can do that for 3500! Preciatcha!
Hi Ken I see near your mig welder what looks like a gas bottle that we get our gas in For the BBQ are you using something different to argon as gas for the MIG? Just curious as to what alternative are out there I have scored a fairly decent (new) MIG welder a while back from a deceased estate and have used other people's MIGs a few times but never my own it would be nice to have all the questions answered before I blow myself up! Also I don't know if you have found IronTrap garage yet if not, Matt's skills might impress and his love of rusty iron and parts that he does sell A Very impressive TH-cam channel Tony from Western Australia
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire Ken, yes I have heard of that alternative use just asking anyway it is always good to learn new things and confirm what you don't know about anyway I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Ken and a fantastic 2020 Tony
Merry Christmas to you Good Neighbor! Im gonna go out on a limb here and say you might have a stuck lifter or two. That can cause an old engine to hang up in a spot. Just like stickin a stob in there to stop it turning. Or just enough gunk or rust or even a mouse nest can do just that.Hey I live here in Sparta Mo and come from a family of machinist"mechanics and such. And been messing with old engines and equipment since I was a shorty. Im 53yrs old myself. Yeah I got a 235 six in a 61 C-30 Apache 1ton that has a head problem. Dumping coolant into the oil yech!! The head was replaced by the ( late) previous owner and. It was pulled off of a engine that had been layin for years out side in the Missouri weather.I suspect it has cracked by the central oil galley and coolant passage in the middle of the head. Doesn't overheat or back pressures the cooling system. Nor does it super heat the coolant. Holds good oil pressure of 30psi warmed up and 35 to 40 psi when its cold at start up.The previous owner was a friend of mines dad and been a friend of the family for years. I grew up around this old truck and bought it from the family when the old feller passed away. It has a 96in wide by 10ft long iron dump bed on it. Im the 3rd owner of it .The previous 2 owners passed away from old age . First owner passed in 1977 and Pops passed in 2016. So when Im gone it will go to one of my kids or back to the family it came from. I have a 1976 Plymouth Volare wagon thats my daily driver and one of them KIA Souls for my other running arounds stuff. The Volare is a near rust free car from Altus Oklahoma. I have worked on heavy equipment and big trucks of all kinds and drove truck for 34yrs . 3.75 million miles driven.Im retired from driving but got 5 trucks and drivers working for me at a freinds company. Keeps the bills paid and such. Got a big Duramax chevy to drag stuff with. And haul with too. I have a old 65 Barracuda that I fart around with. Got a bunch old junk /Iron Myself to . A guy just cant seem to have enough junk.Love the videos and keep on messing with that Hemi . You will get it going.
Will be interesting to see what you find out was holding up the rotation, my bet is something on the front or the back end has come apart and is digging in somewhere... broken pressure plate lever, broken fuel pump arm, that sort of thing... pretty sure you will know as soon as you see it : ] Look forward to seeing more Ken, hope a great Christmas time for you and your loved ones.
I have never seen a motor like that hemi you have ,I know you will get it running you know them motor's I'm more the Ford motor's 289s, 302s, 390s and the old boat anchor 360s I bought that ran but when I got it here at the shop the valve covers had so many rust holes in them I decided to put that motor off to the side for next year project. No oil circulation and bad oil pressure in fact no oil pressure hahaha in some baskets you have good apples an the other just rotten as many as you can see I'll fix it next year
Now, we All Know, that you`ll know, you love a Hemi, and the lord knows we all love them too, but, being a distant cousin way over In Englandshire`ish, back in the 1960`s, Daimler made a baby 2 1/2 litre Hemi for its posh Jaguar bodied Daimler cars, even bigger posher Daimler Cars, but a sweet little fibre glass bodied sports car called a SP 250 or a Daimler dart, even our Police had them back at the time... To us old / younger Brits more used to tiny side valve cars and little over head valved engined cars, the sound of a little hemi being driven hard chasing speeders or other law breakers was such a nice sound to hear..... I just hope you can show us the sound of its bigger brothers sound....OH, bye the bye, dam clever Idea of using a spring spreader to lift the stuck valves...One Idea I get to remember.. thanks
You'll get her sorted. Somewhere in my pile o stuff I have a Weiand Drag Star for a 392, it is a set up for 6 Strombergs. Long story on how it came into my possession. If we ever get to visit I will tell it. Ya know I was thinking watching this that I talk to myself in the shop sorta like you when no one is around, but I ain't got no cameras running. people might think that makes me crazy, but it is my form of therapy.... This coupe' is going to be a sweet ride.
Love your site. Cant wait till you get the Hemi fired and also start working on the 34 coupe. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Orlando.
Is that there what ya call one of them dilemmas ! 😊 If I were to drink some of that green stuff it would give me some get up and go too..... get up and go to the bathroom ! Them peppers do it to me every time ! Guess we'll have to wait for the next video to find the answer on the hemi.... or is it a hem - her ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
poor some of that mean green juice down them cylinders ..that should make em get up and dance lol...my guess one or two of them up and downers has a little rust ring in its path..i believe that ol girl gonna be a runner..good vid ken

Dang hard hats are just as bad. I always hated having to wear one when we worked in basements with low ceilings. I was almost guaranteed to jam my neck at least once a day. It's not safer if it puts you in a neck brace!
how about make a plate and bolt it to the front of the crank and have a couple pieces of pipe or small box tube welded to the plate to put yer pry bar into to turn the crank ... or the plate like an x shape and put tube over it and turn it back an forward .... dont be tempted to use the bolts an pry off them

Corvette Ben had a small block Chevy act the same way your boat anker is . It came down to two broken pistons . next tow each other . Top of piston broke off to the top ring grove.
Maybe seen if you can rent one of thim bore scoops. good luck with your engine. TZ
this footage is two weeks old. stay tuned!
My friend you have a weather seized motor there the top part of one of those cylinders that was probably open to the air because of the valve position has a rust film. You should pull the heads and properly clean that rust or you're going to have an unhappy cylinder and rings. The symptoms a bad motor rotating part of the way and then binding are very typical.
this footage is two weeks old. stay tuned!
Merry Christmas from our home to yours. Looking forward to number two.
Ever heard of turning your phone 90° to landscape mode? Might get more viewers that way.
oh. i have enough viewers.. thanks lol
It's good that you didn't try to crank it because there is a split pin missing from the rocker shaft .if the little cap comes out,you lose oil pressure to the rockers .instant wear to the shafts. I got all of my rocker shafts hard chromed,which was then ground to size. This stops them wearing out too soon. Especially if the engine is revved while cold. The hemi rocker gear is lubed each 1/2 turn of the cam. not the greatest idea but it worked ok for my engines. heres my 354 T on the salt years ago. www.dlra.org.au/grtrip98.htm
i'll check it out
wow..so great that you got to have that experience.. the salt flats! thats the ultimate. I wanted to let you know I replaced that cotter pin in the rocker shaft. GOOD EYE! I dont know how you spotted that in the video but thanks! when I pulled the valve cover to replace it, I did learn that the top side has been oiling well.. oops! I let the cat out of the bag didn't I! haha.. take care and thanks again, you may have saved me from totally wrecking this beast
I would suspect that you didn't just do this yesterday.
so by now you either got tthat thing spinin like a kids top or.
there are hemi parts scattered from here to breakfast and back !
out of 90 comments, this is the SMARTEST one! haha
Joshua is cute asleep. Santa may bring you a new pry bar from China. Merry Christmas and all the best to you and your family
thats the problem.. .my pry bar IS from china..but I Mericanized it! thanks!
after that drink.....u gonna fart sparks
I once had a '56 firedome desoto hemi which was super strong but I never found out what size the engine was and wondered if you knew.
according to wiki, it would have been a 5.4 or a 5.6 depending on what model car it was in.
why did I look that up for you when you could have done it just as well! haha.. boy im a nice guy! hahaha.. take care, thanks for watching
The stuck valve most likely let moisture in and rusted from the top of the piston up won’t see under the pan gotta pull heads worse case is it scored the cylinder walls cause of rust and would have to be honed but could be alittle surface rust and break free
this footage is two weeks old. stay tuned!
might want to get a bore scope and look down into the cylinders through the spark plug holes for something that might have fallen in through the intake manifold
way ahead of ya lol thanks
Finally saw this video, started with the new one working my way back to the old one. Ass backwards I guess.
haha.. well. you'll still get er dun I guess lol
Did you toss some trans fluid down the plug holes and let it soak on the top end of those pistons that's what I do get lucky with breaking stuck Engines up with it
youve missed a few videos
I'm not a mechanic but has the motor apart and is fixing it lol loved the vidja
i know just enough to be dangerous haha
I just got a new inspection camera that connects easy to an iPad or phone off Amazon cheap. Works awesome and might allow you a good look down those cylinders. Great video.
I have one too! this footage is two weeks old. stay tuned!
Obviously it has a rusty cyl. ,probably on that cyl. that had the valve open ,I noticed it was quite near the Exhaust Manif. outlet, so likely had moist air getting in through the open exhaust valve. Pull that Head, and turn that piston down to bottom D.C.and simply Hone the rust off the cyl. clean it, oil it up replace the head and then she'll probably run. It seems as though you are trying to do it up on a shoe lace budget (no offence) and also perhaps the rings will free up etc. good luck ! They are amazing old motors !
yeah, everybody and their pet coon says there is rust in the cylinders but I scoped them and they are very clean.. all will be reviled in tonights video. as for the budget, I'll spend what I "need" to "when" I need to. im not a tightwad, I'm just having fun. when I restored my 63 impala, I spent whatever i needed to and thought nothing of it but when I built my rockabilly rat, I found it was WAY more fun to finagle and swap and trade and scrounge for parts haha.. it inspires the young guys who dont have 30 k to spend but they see my rat and realize they can do that for 3500! Preciatcha!
naa...no rust in the cylinders.. I scoped them.. stay tuned!
Hi Ken I see near your mig welder what looks like a gas bottle that we get our gas in
For the BBQ are you using something different to argon as gas for the MIG? Just curious as to what alternative are out there I have scored a fairly decent (new) MIG welder a while back from a deceased estate and have used other people's MIGs a few times but never my own it would be nice to have all the questions answered before I blow myself up!
Also I don't know if you have found IronTrap garage yet if not, Matt's skills might impress and his love of rusty iron and parts that he does sell A Very impressive TH-cam channel
Tony from Western Australia
we used it in the video where we fired the propane powered Y block engine but I think people use propane instead of acetylene on oxy/acetylene touches
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire Ken, yes I have heard of that alternative use just asking anyway it is always good to learn new things and confirm what you don't know about anyway
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Ken and a fantastic 2020
Tony
I wear KEY bibbers too.
Merry Christmas to you Good Neighbor! Im gonna go out on a limb here and say you might have a stuck lifter or two. That can cause an old engine to hang up in a spot. Just like stickin a stob in there to stop it turning. Or just enough gunk or rust or even a mouse nest can do just that.Hey I live here in Sparta Mo and come from a family of machinist"mechanics and such. And been messing with old engines and equipment since I was a shorty. Im 53yrs old myself. Yeah I got a 235 six in a 61 C-30 Apache 1ton that has a head problem. Dumping coolant into the oil yech!! The head was replaced by the ( late) previous owner and. It was pulled off of a engine that had been layin for years out side in the Missouri weather.I suspect it has cracked by the central oil galley and coolant passage in the middle of the head. Doesn't overheat or back pressures the cooling system. Nor does it super heat the coolant. Holds good oil pressure of 30psi warmed up and 35 to 40 psi when its cold at start up.The previous owner was a friend of mines dad and been a friend of the family for years. I grew up around this old truck and bought it from the family when the old feller passed away. It has a 96in wide by 10ft long iron dump bed on it. Im the 3rd owner of it .The previous 2 owners passed away from old age . First owner passed in 1977 and Pops passed in 2016. So when Im gone it will go to one of my kids or back to the family it came from. I have a 1976 Plymouth Volare wagon thats my daily driver and one of them KIA Souls for my other running arounds stuff. The Volare is a near rust free car from Altus Oklahoma. I have worked on heavy equipment and big trucks of all kinds and drove truck for 34yrs . 3.75 million miles driven.Im retired from driving but got 5 trucks and drivers working for me at a freinds company. Keeps the bills paid and such. Got a big Duramax chevy to drag stuff with. And haul with too. I have a old 65 Barracuda that I fart around with. Got a bunch old junk /Iron Myself to . A guy just cant seem to have enough junk.Love the videos and keep on messing with that Hemi . You will get it going.
I'm on the edge of my seat... Can't wait for the next video.
I predict success.
these people need to get instagram haha thanks!
Yes sir that does indeed bear a striking resemblance to a milking machine! By the way, other than the celery, that green go juice sounds purdy good!
Will be interesting to see what you find out was holding up the rotation, my bet is something on the front or the back end has come apart and is digging in somewhere... broken pressure plate lever, broken fuel pump arm, that sort of thing... pretty sure you will know as soon as you see it : ]
Look forward to seeing more Ken, hope a great Christmas time for you and your loved ones.
ain't it funny , the older your head gets , the more it hurts when you run it into things ?? True story LOL
so bolting an industrial electric motor to the front pulley then force cranking a stuck motor would be wrong?.........................:P
yes.. if there is rust in the cylinder, forcing the crank could break rings this footage is two weeks old. stay tuned!
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire yeah i ment that as a joke :P
@@messylaura haha. Ok..well you wouldn't believe some of the suggestions I get! Haha
I have never seen a motor like that hemi you have ,I know you will get it running you know them motor's I'm more the Ford motor's 289s, 302s, 390s and the old boat anchor 360s I bought that ran but when I got it here at the shop the valve covers had so many rust holes in them I decided to put that motor off to the side for next year project. No oil circulation and bad oil pressure in fact no oil pressure hahaha in some baskets you have good apples an the other just rotten as many as you can see I'll fix it next year
Yes some jack a$$ would probably tell you the best way to unstuck that valve is to put some quickcrete in the cylinder. HA!
Now, we All Know, that you`ll know, you love a Hemi, and the lord knows we all love them too, but, being a distant cousin way over In Englandshire`ish, back in the 1960`s, Daimler made a baby 2 1/2 litre Hemi for its posh Jaguar bodied Daimler cars, even bigger posher Daimler Cars, but a sweet little fibre glass bodied sports car called a SP 250 or a Daimler dart, even our Police had them back at the time... To us old / younger Brits more used to tiny side valve cars and little over head valved engined cars, the sound of a little hemi being driven hard chasing speeders or other law breakers was such a nice sound to hear..... I just hope you can show us the sound of its bigger brothers sound....OH, bye the bye, dam clever Idea of using a spring spreader to lift the stuck valves...One Idea I get to remember.. thanks
... Hairy legged truck drivers... You do have a way with words, Ken.... lol. Thanks for another great video. Russ
You might not consider your self a mechanic but if people who do consider themselves mechanic had half your Common sense they’d be dangerous
Has your family tried 'em... POWDERED MILK!
Merry Christmas, Waylon.
Just sketching up on videos love them all
Oops ketchin up lol
Need a video of you making the mean green drink. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Cheers from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦.
You'll get her sorted. Somewhere in my pile o stuff I have a Weiand Drag Star for a 392, it is a set up for 6 Strombergs.
Long story on how it came into my possession. If we ever get to visit I will tell it.
Ya know I was thinking watching this that I talk to myself in the shop sorta like you when no one is around, but I ain't got no cameras running. people might think that makes me crazy, but it is my form of therapy....
This coupe' is going to be a sweet ride.
Love your site. Cant wait till you get the Hemi fired and also start working on the 34 coupe. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Orlando.
Merry Christmas to ya Waylon, kerwood, and Joshua I'm thinking your muffler bearings are ceased
Merry CHRISTmas Ken !!! God bless and keep you , in JESUS NAME !!!!!! Eddy
Mean Green drink I think maybe a couple rolls of toilet paper too and some seat time with the guitar.LOL. Fire it Up.!! Merry Christmas.
WD-40 or some other solvent would have loosened it up without hammering on it.
oh i tried that lol
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire ouch. Must have been really stuck. Merry Christmas my friend
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Years🎄😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Maybe a spark plug insulator broke and fell down into the cylinder. Do you have a bore scope? They're pretty cheap these days.
you might want to watch the next video :)
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire Well of course I do. Have a merry Christmas Ken.
thanks brother! you too
LOL! @ keyboard mechanics,,,thats funny right there , LOL!!!
Hahaha - "keyboard mechanics".............you sure have a way with words Waylon!
Is that there what ya call one of them dilemmas ! 😊
If I were to drink some of that green stuff it would give me some get up and go too.....
get up and go to the bathroom ! Them peppers do it to me every time !
Guess we'll have to wait for the next video to find the answer on the hemi.... or is it a hem - her ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Always wondered what size your two garage doors are? Mine are 10' x 10'
yep
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire your a good man Charlie Brown
poor some of that mean green juice down them cylinders ..that should make em get up and dance lol...my guess one or two of them up and downers has a little rust ring in its path..i believe that ol girl gonna be a runner..good vid ken
if you only followed me on instagram.. haha
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire hell i can,t even figure out youtube half the time...lol
its easy, go to waylonwire.com and click on instagram nothing to download, nothing to sign up for, nothing to do but enjoy being two weeks ahead of everyone else as to whats going on in the hillbilly workshop haha thanks!!
Pull the distributor? Dropped a condenser screw in one when I was a kid and locked it up🤦♂️
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your friends from Sweden.
I'm sure you'll have that Hemi purring like you're kitty Ken.. 👍👍👍👍
Your mind might be like being in a bad neighborhood ( mine also) but at least it’s not like being on a dead end street haha love your videos please keep em coming I appreciate ya
I had a old guy show me brake fluid would dissolve carbon keep in mind I’m in my 50s he was a smart guy
We'll be waiting to see you get the hemi started. I hope you get it past the hard spot without damaging something. Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas Ken thanks for the year of entertainment, it’s always a pleasure with you
What was the first year for a Hemi?
1951
I like the progress so far, good luck and merry Christmas!
You sure have a nice shop for not being a mechanic ! Now tear that thing apart !
Also Merry Christmas to you and your family may y’all have a joyous holiday season
Cyl with stuck valve probably got rust above the piston. Soak it and keep turning engine back and forth.😎
this footage is two weeks old. stay tuned!
So... does that make it a "Turnip Starter?"
I have had the same problem working under my lift the bill on the hat blocks vision and run into arms, so I turned my hat around backwards
Dang hard hats are just as bad. I always hated having to wear one when we worked in basements with low ceilings. I was almost guaranteed to jam my neck at least once a day. It's not safer if it puts you in a neck brace!
how about make a plate and bolt it to the front of the crank and have a couple pieces of pipe or small box tube welded to the plate to put yer pry bar into to turn the crank ... or the plate like an x shape and put tube over it and turn it back an forward .... dont be tempted to use the bolts an pry off them
stay tuned! :)
Two drain plug holes on the oil pan ? Neat.
The pictures with the snow in the beginning were awesome!
Soak the valve stem with areo kroil and tap
thanks.. this content is 2 weeks old so...stay tuned!
aw man! haha. you should have watched the whole video.. I showed where I lubed it up and tapped on it and it came loose..
PS Merry Christmas and Happy New year
Gee I thought that was how you were supposed to tack weld lmao
Just a suggestion, use masking tape over the intake as it may save you some work when you drop a nut in the intake.
good suggestion, I'll remember it about the time I drop a nut down the intake haha.. thanks man!
Love the Hemi stuff! How is the ticker?
Key board mechanics haaaaa haaa funny stuff
