    🌳 www.linktr.ee/... In this video we take a close look at how to properly replace the head gasket on your Ford Model T.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    I imported my 1925 Ford Model T from the USA, not far from Detroit, Michigan where it was built.
    The Model T was manufactured between 1908 and 1927, and was know by various names including Tin Lizzie, Flivver, T‑Model Ford, or just 'T'.
    The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile became popular. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.
    On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line at his factory in Highland Park, Michigan.

      If it was a Mercedes not only would they not bat an eye they would be able to order any part needed from the factory. Mercedes has a antique parts section that has parts for ANY car they have ever made. Have a 1955 300 SL gull wing and need new brake drums? No problem as long as you have around $2000 each for them. Hey I never said they were affordable but if you own a Gullwing Mercedes what 8 grand+ for a brake job.

      I suspect he saved himself about $2,800 in labor vs If he would have taken it to a Ford dealership. Any service writer can tell you, just scanning it for codes to verify the leak would have been $150. They would have kept it at least two weeks and it would have been left outside in the rain so the interior would be wet and there would be fast food wrappers on the floor (and maybe a used condom) also and the radiator would be leaking when he got it back. Fixing that would be an additional $3,000.

    a few things, always stuff the piston area with rags to collect chips and use a vacumn cleaner While your scraping near the blade or tool to pull the dust away. and of course work slowly , nobody sees how fast you do it , just how well. dirt will get jammed in the rings etc. Id also never use a wire brush as they can shed, and of course scratch. unless you use a bronze brush and work slowly. hard plastic scraper probably be best. compressed air will blow dirt in to places it never would ordinarily get, a good shop vac is the best clean up technique

    I really good tech tip I learned is that with bolts like the rear ones that must stay in the head you can take a rubber band and put it across the two adjacent bolts which will apply tension to them and keep them into the perfect position while reinstalling and removing the cylinder head.

  • @K2richy

    Greetings from UK. Really enjoying your videos and the obvious level of effort that you have put into them,very professional. I am a big classic car fan and have a couple of oldies myself but never a T, well not yet anyway....... I have restored a couple of old Fordson tractors, an F and an N and can see so much similarity to your car in them. The F was from 1917, a lend / lease for the war effort from America. It's so amazing to see a 100 year old machine still be able to work hard and plough like it did when new. The N is an ex Air Force airfield tractor that is crazy fast. It can easily keep up with modern tractors on a run and I have not had the guts to fully open it up! It was confirmed at 38 mph on a gps and still had more to go. Love the engineering of these beautiful machines.

  • @samthemultimediaman

    Do you know if the head bolts were ever replaced? I know that head bolts can actually stretch from use over time and cause the head gasket to fail and or the bolts can snap when your reinstalling them, I found that out from my dads 81 JEEP Cherokee. Awesome video though!

      He said 45 ft*lb, which is about a third of a modern engine. Well within yeild limits of such a bolt.
      But, if you want to know for sure, run a nut the length of the threads. If the bolt has stretched, the nut will "hang up" and you won't be able to spin it with your fingers.

    You should never use a wire brush to clean around open pistons and valves. A small piece of wire could break loose in end up between the piston and cylinder wall and do damage.

    A good idea would be to check both the block and head for flatness with a straight edge. When head gaskets leak, there's a reason. You might want to look into replacing the head bolts with studs. Good luck with your fine car.

    • @ModelTMitch
      @ModelTMitch  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was fortunate there was no warping. The leak was due to a poorly done replacement by a previous owner, who didn't clean the block down before installing the new gasket. there was debris trapped between the gasket and the block. I was amazed it's taken all this time to start leaking. All fixed now though :)

      Torque wrenches were a rare item a hundred years ago. The factory probably had them, but not very many other people. This cast iron stuff was pretty forgiving. Most mechanics a hundred years ago would just tighten the head bolts "GoodAndTight" by hand and by "feel".

    My insides cringed at the sound of that wire brush scraping across the top of the block, pistons and valves. A piece of emory cloth is the correct way to clean the tops of heads and blocks to get all the built up residue off. All this does is deeply scrapes the shit out of it. Ouch!!

    • @ModelTMitch
      @ModelTMitch  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's amazing how many different opinions there are on this -- a very seasoned Model T enthusiast told me in his experience it was best to use a wire brush, not a scraper, as it's much more gentle on the pistons, block and valves - especially if the pistons are heavily carboned up like mine were.

    • @CSXtrackworker
      @CSXtrackworker 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wasn't talking about a scraper.. A piece of emory cloth that is used over here in the states is almost like a brillo pad but not as course. It gently takes the build up and residue off of the block and head as well as cleaning up the valves and pistons. A coarse brush can take away metal from the top of the block that is not noticed and over time cause head gasket leakage.

  • @countryboydollars5328
    @countryboydollars5328 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Some old American drag racing history for ya is that the carbon buildup was used by drag racers to raise compression to increase performance in fact they also used to sand blast the tops of the pistons and the combustion chamber of the heads to create a rough surface that carbon loved to stick too I personally wouldn't do that but it was the cheapest way to raise the compression even tho it wasn't much as we have modern ways with thinner head gaskets high comp. pistons and heads and definitely have my respect for using the original tools 👍

  • @laurenceperkins7468
    @laurenceperkins7468 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've always found the brush-on gasket sealer to be easier to deal with, but that's probably just my frugal nature.
    If you use solvents to clean out the cylinders while you're in there, that's good, but don't forget to re-oil them before you close it up. Most of your engine wear happens in the brief period between when it starts turning and when the oil starts actually going where it belongs, so try to avoid making that problem worse.
    That bit where you were getting impatient starting it and just running the crank around in a circle is what will earn you a broken arm. Always pull a starting crank, never push.

  • @teddybasterd9415
    @teddybasterd9415 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What likely happen the 1st time is someone thought if run the engine idle for 10 min. it's hot...far from the truth. Take your car out for a 3 hour or better cruise, let it sit over night then torque your head bolts. You probably could have solved the original leak by simply torquing down the head, bolt stretch isn't much of a concern because the torque is relatively low for the size of the bolts. With that in mind DO NOT OVER TIGHTIN. you can strip out the block and/or stretch out the threads in the block.
    And an other thing any copper gasket is reusable as long as the surface isn't damaged or ripped. The gasket must be baked in an oven preferably, a hotplate will do. bake it for 2 hour's at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and it will expand to original thickness and allow it to cool down in the oven. do not use water to quench it as this will only harden the gasket defeating the purpose, and risk distortion.

      @bairfamilyfarm1336 6 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      Mitch Taylor If you raise the boiling point, wouldn't water be able to hold and transfer more energy from cylinder to radiator vs plain water? Our oldest tractor is the 1940 Allis WC and it hasn't over heated under heavy load for long periods using glycol based coolant. But if you're trying to keep things period correct, I think Alcohol was used as an anti-freeze. I'll have to double-check that one with my grandpa. Now you've got my gears turning.

    Moroso ceramaseal, it's not like stop leak. When I ran copper gaskets on my small block they leaked like crazy around the head studs. This stuff permanently seals them after about 30 minutes running w/o a thermostat. I've used it on old tractors to newer cars that I couldn't get aluminum parts to seal from pitting. Never had any problems like plugged heater cores you get with stopleak. Best $20 fix for problems like this.

    Shouldn't you loosen all the head bolts before taking them out to prevent warping the head instead of taking one out ar a time? That's the way I was taught and modern heads are a lot thicker than that head

    `These old cars are fascinating. As a child, I used to watch my father's friend work on his old model T and other cars.

    Have you considered using a 6:1 compression head?

    @krikerb 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    you shouldn't have removed the carbon around the valves. The parts wear to each other and carbon build up often times is how the engine seals after years of use. You might have just killed that engine.

      I didn’t brush around the valve seats, they are already clean and working fine 😊

    • @kx65fast

      Andew70 it said it was like 57$ USD for an entire engine gasket kit that comes with a head gasket as well.. even with inflation that is cheap
