SEIZED Big Block Ford ~ WILL IT RUN After 40 Years?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- I purchased this disgusting wreck of a 1971 Lincoln Mark III for its 460 big block V8 engine. It turned out to be locked up and required a great deal of work to get running again. As is usually the case with 385 series Ford engines and myself, it ends in catastrophe.

"I brought your hole punch" - You proceed to give the Lincoln the John Wilkes Boothe treatment.... lmfao.... never change, Dalton
I have not laughed out loud like that for a long time, that was frickin hilarious!
@@Opticaldelusion1008 it seemed appropriate(ish) considering the Ford Theater that this episode was
Lmao
That was my favorite part too
Perfect definition of a hole punch freaking great 😂
Dalton I have to be honest. All I can focus on is the wipers working stupendously during this “will it fire” segment
Amen to that!
Their ability to just keep going and going and not actually clean the window at all is a miracle that's for sure.
Exactly
I respect that at the end you admit you f*cked up and should have listened to your gut and just pulled and rebuilt it first instead of running it. Takes a big man to admit when he is wrong and is super rare on youtube so thank you for being honest and just chock this up as a life lesson and move forward. There are other good 460s out there and you won't mess up the next one.
@@RWO555 Maybe the time to pull it out would have been when you found metal particles in the oil - that wasn't gonna get any better, that's for sure.
Oh well, in this life, you never stop learning ... .. .
ha ha ha ha you've got to be kidding me
$950 for a good wiper motor is not a bad deal in today's economy. Great video, thanks! Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁
The grill is worth some bucks too.
They use hydraulic power wipers of the power steering
@@V8Power5300 Exactly! So, he has PS and wipers. He'll have his money back in no time! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁💰💵
That is one hell of a wiper motor. It outlasted that 460!
Would still love to see you do a total rebuild and give that Torino the 460 it deserves even if you gotta work for it
"If you have a mental disorder and are restoring a lincoln mark 3 for some reason..." 😂😂Best line yet.
Angus is like "what did he say?"
I Love the Mark III... and i probly am retarded too
Power washing?, bug bombing?, sanitizer?!... you've gone Hollywood on us 😂
And creating some murican style draining holes.
😂
I feel the pain when Dalton noticed that the engine was junk too.
Ah yes, the express pneumatic hole punch. Got me a few of those
That's been one of my favorite features of this channel. It recurs periodically, and it gets a laugh out of me every time.
I had a few too. I lost mine in a boating accident. 😂
you can hear the faint cry of oliver with every shot
Essential item.. Sadly not available in the UK.
"I brought the hole punch" was a great line.
I’m glad Angus sent you a parts list, that’s what I’ve been thinking the whole time so far.
Crazed Dalton with the Sawzall is how we all feel 8 hours into the "quick 2 hour job"
We've all been there. "It'll take about half an hour, dear."
Laughed way too hard when he yelled out FORD trying to get the cylinder head off.
Some people leave cookies for Santa... We leave copper for crackheads... I'm ashamed to say I LAUGHED RIGHT OUT LOUD for that one!
What did we learn on PBG today?
How not to get the Plague and how to make drain holes in a matter of seconds. Get this man the Noble Prize! ❤
Also to wear safety goggles in case there's good compression...
Not to be confused with the Nobel Prize.😂
@@JoeBattle I didn't see that! Well spotted! 😆
At least the heads are good
There is a bright side to this Dalton. It's not very often you get to hear an engine die on yt. I may or may not have heard several over my years on this planet, but that's the first V8 I've heard go jiggy jiggy clunk.
if you search theres plenty of "engine blowouts" (i loved as a kid but now i have ptsd from that and hate it with all my soul)
"Not getting the Plague again"🤣🤣 I choked on my sweet tea when you said that!!
I must have missed something, what's the story behind "again"? He mentioned how concerned he was a few times.
Edit: also, brother, if I'm not mistaken, we have the last name...
@@Banryu95 Dalton got really sick a few episodes back, got a shit ton of rat nest to the face.
@@Banryu95 rusty scout will it run. the mouse poops damn near killed him.
@@Brian-Gribbleseriously sick doesnt quite hit right, i mean he landed in the hospital and took nearly a weak after to get back on his feet fully
@@patriotgarage i thought he got lyme disease? isnt that mainly from ticks?
The Windshield Wipers cheering him on was great!
hell Dalton i would watch you pull a motor and rebuild it
Yep, I would too
Same
Yep me too
He did rebuild the engine in JD's car that they built together.
But yeah, I vote for engine rebuild as well, I loved it.
Me too
Thank you for being REAL and showing us when it "Just isnt your day" For what its worth I enjoyed watching.
I could never understand why people prefer to work on filthy machinery when a few minutes of cleaning can make things safer and easier to diagnose. Guard your health so we can enjoy more of your adventures. Thanks for making great content!
Yea! PBG for the win!!!
It was me, I was the one who told you about enzyme cleaner!
I'm really glad you're looking after your pneumonia makers ^_^
What is the brand?! Going to buy some.
LOVE HOW DALTON WENT ALL ELVIS PRESLEY WITH THE "HOLE PUNCH" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLL
not all heroes wear capes
it may not be Elvis's Pantera but it now has the matching experience
I have never seen a 460 fail like that before, it would be interesting to know the history of it. Wow
Not to make you feel bad or anything but I would have loved a video of you yanking, rebuilding, and putting the engine in the Torino just as much or more as this video. All you had to do is say, "I don't want to mess this one up so we are going to pull it, strip it and rebuild it so we KNOW it runs." and we would watch it.
Would rather watch that than what this episode turned into.
@@Lawdog652I think he couldn’t let it win
"I brought your hole punch"
*POWPOWPOWPOW*
that had me laughing my ass off at work🤣🤣
'Tragedy Bingo' is fantastic. I think the whole shop is gonna play that whenever we gotta tear apart a vehicle to see what's wrong 👍🏼
i think it's fair to say you got a really good wiper motor out of the deal.
That sucks bud but we would happily watch you pulling an engine and tearing it down just as much as a will it run video. Cheers bud!
Ever notice that when you are extra careful, like a penetrating lube mix to protect the cylinders, that's when unusual shit goes wrong? I can't count the times without taking my shoes off that I've taken extra precautions and had a vehicle shit the bed big time.
That grill has got to be saved. It's the nicest thing on the whole dam car
It’d at least make some good wall art.
"I brought your hole punch" "thanks" had me dying
Well Dalton at least The Wipers worked really good 😂😂😂😂
Those things get the mvp award 🤣
I wonder if angus needs the wiper motor. it's well tested.
When they sped up with the engine running it showed it was charging! 😊
@@murkywaters7185not charging.... they're hydraulic wipers. They run off the power steering pump. So as the power steering pump spun faster, it made the wipers move faster.
and never stop working
Well at least we know the wipes work. Early 70s Lincoln’s must be in the air. I’m working on a 73 4 door Continental right now with the DOVE motor.
A 1:40 into the video....."I am going to dispose of it in an environmentally friendly fashion that you will not see." I fell out of the chair laughing and in my mind when you said that i was thinking BURN PILE.
Just noticed, after many many videos, that you wear an analog watch. Simplicity at its best :).
That's part of what makes this channel so good. Even when things don't go as planned it still makes the cut. Sorry about the engine, but great video. Made my morning!
I don't know why, but those wipers had me laughing hysterically every time he tried to start the car🤣🤣🤣
Those damn kids and their a-10s 😂😂😂😂
Glad they are on our side... Its not a good day otherwis
Brrrrrrppppppt. Thank you. From 10th mountain hooahh
I bet they could really punch a hole in a lincoln mark three.
@@jaggederest it would make a fantastic recruiting video👌
Thank you for your honesty man. Life ain't all big blocks that fire up with just a twist of the distributor cap.
Please dont give up on the Ford engines big man 🙏 been a while since we've seen a dingleball rebuild on the channel, pulling another 460 would be a great candidate for that
Yeah dude, I'd love a video of you pulling an engine, rebuilding it and throwing it into something deserving. I'm not sure how that style of video performs generally on here but I love em
@1:52 I am proud of you actually. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We don't need you catching rat plague again. I hope others learn from your example so they don't damn near die over a car restoration video.
That whisper motor is the real hero
@15:10 The wipers coming on reminds me of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" When the body collector is saying "Bring out your dead!" and a man is trying to bring out his elderly father, who says "IM NOT DEAD!" LOL. That car is trying to say IM NOT DEAD! LOOK AT ME! I HAVE WIPERS! LOL
It's deader than a dead parrot now, that's for sure.
@@mrb.5610It is an *EX-CAR!*
I always get so excited to see a new video posted!! This is my dream thing to do with my sons!! Did this stuff minus the videos with my dad growing up so it hits close to home! Thank you for the amazing content man!!
Favorite part is the black and white foreshadowing clips, thats how you know its gonna be a good video.
Honestly I think it's the worst part.
Love it!
If you ever watch Low-Buck Garage, similar experience.
@@Lawdog652it’s okay to be wrong 😊
Videos like this are good reminders that sometimes it all just goes wrong. I had the same failure in an old VW engine I had revived. I was about to test drive it after doing a ton of work to it and the head popped off of one of the exhaust valves and stopped the whole show.
Dalton you buy these cars so we don’t have to. Thank you for your service sir.
Awesome content
Tuff break
Don’t give up on the 460 that car deserves it
Man I love these flashbacks you make in your videos. @27:10
Great effort Dalton. I loved the intro/monologue. All the extra bits and pieces of information you offer are always appreciated. I took a 40 year hiatus from wrenching and hear something I never knew about every video.
I was laughing the majority of watching this video. Not getting the plague, mental health and restoring a Mark III, every bit of the humor was very hilarious. Probably one of the best made videos to date.
That really sucks with the 460 DOve motor blowing up. Hindsight being 20/20, it probably would've been better to remove the engine and rebuilt it. But it was most likely hecked before in 1985. Possibly another block out there. If you did a video on the heads, I'd watch that.
I am so sorry that happened. I wish the best of luck to you and next time you'll find a mint 460!
Ah perfect timing, i needed a new fix (cause i‘m addicted to this channel)
Third channel idea, Daltons Recycling, I for one am interested in seeing how you get rid of rubbish, I'm guessing it involves some petrol and lots of beer.
I could smell through the phone when the "cure all mix" covered you 😂
Oh my goodness! Reminded me of my second car back in 1979! A 1968 Buick GS400. It had a Buick 430 stock engine with the Stock Quadra Jet. A Camaro differential and sat high in the back. I was in southern Ark and was driving it hard through some twisty back country roads. Engine lost oil pressure for some reason,,, . So I just filled it up with more oil. But it just seemed to be running badly and registering very little oi pressure? I was lucky and made it back home. And the engine died pretty much as I pulled into where I parked beside the house. I pulled the engine apart and found pretty much the same thing! How I was able to make it many back home that day is a mystery. The oil pickup screen was mostly plugged by bits and pieces of the destroyed piston! It was the #6 piston. What a waste of a great engine! Sorry that you lost your engine like that! But if you hear such a miss fire again,, and related sounds and very poorly running motor,,,, and you are wanting to keep it,,, MAYBE,,, Pull it out first and tear it down as needed before you destroy it! Just food for thought. Great entertainment though. Thank you.
The best penetrant I've ever seen is mint oil and diesel. I first ran across it at the railroad museum I volunteer at, one of the guys got some mint oil from the farm where he works. I was blown away at just how effective the stuff is, it eats through anything! You can buy the mint oil online in big containers, and it's not too horribly priced. Another great video Dalton! I about died laughing when you busted out the 'hole punch'! 🤣 Keep up the great work brother, you are not only entertaining (and educational), but you are inspiring a lot of people to get out there and wrench on old iron. Thank you brother! 🤘
Mint oil? As in Peppermint?
@@achimhaun2726 Yessir. Peppermint or Spearmint oil. The stuff we use in the locomotive shop is spearmint.
The easiest way to start the car without keys is a dent puller screw it in and the cylinder will pop out
From smoking while pouring acetone to ‘God GodSpeed, Points! To the final stuck -valve conclusion, once again , Dalton had my attention. Thank goodness CH-1 gives him the nutrients and energy he needs to forge ahead. A+, Dalton!
Rough day at the office, we all have them. I would certainly watch a 460 rebuild video if you find another one
Hey Dalton been watching your Videos sometime now. Iam Rocky in Iowa 63 years old. Ive Liked most of your Videos. Glad you recovered from being Sick. Iam a Ford Man by Heart. Been working on Classics for 30 years off and on during health issues, Good Luck too you JD and Jessie. Rocky
I love it when future Dalton shows up with wise hindsight. Awesome video
Love your channel brother, and I'm looking forward to seeing your solution for the bad motor, whether that's a rebuild or a good runner.
One more comment here. I love Jes input and a touch.She adds to it, but also, the hole punch was the best.
That was quality 😂
14:14 When he did the first crank and a little juice flew out, that was pretty funny, but I figured that was probably most of it. I’m glad I was wrong because that was peak content!
Well, I just witnessed a land yacht (named the Widow Brown's Inn) receive a complete detoxification by the Michelin Man 😂, to complete engine failure (typical Ford swallowing a valve. I can say that, Because it's happened to me a gazillion times). All in the glory of a day in the life, of Polebarn Garage! Epic! You're right Dalton, there's a first time for everything, but at least it was a Ford, and not "A JAGG" that locked up on you!
I definitely love being a member of the low buck club, and I DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE!!! Thanks again for another great video!!😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
A video like this is why I love the channel so much. On other channels, I feel like the only videos that get posted are the ones that have a happy ending, so you just expect it to be fixed and running by the end of the video. Sorry this was one that didn't end on the best note.
It looks like someone cleaned out there office and just left it in the back of their trunk 😂
The entire office worth of paintings and books and the empty 18 pack really tell a story alright
@@mildly_miffed_man1414 and it was found in an impound sounds like someone got fired lol
Hey Dalton, don't feel sooooooo bad, years ago me & my brother purchased a completely reconditioned 327 for a project (This is in Australia so a very expensive rebuild). Time passed & we got side tracked with the female kind & didn't get to fit the engine for about 12 months. We got it running with the exception of a bit of a miss. We tapped the valve just in case one was a bit sticky. There was no change for the first few seconds of running, when a very loud clatter emerged from the RH head. The engine was shut down & we decided that something was not quite right with one valves sitting a bit higher than the others. We removed the head to find that the top of a valve had removed itself from the stem & proceeded to smash the F#$$%@ out of the piston..... No warranty as we had taken so long to get it running...... The moral of the storey is for both of us & anyone else that little voice starts to yell at you to "STOP & CHECK THINGS OUT" Thanks for sharing, it brought back those fond memories of sitting in a corner rocking back & forth with a ciggy & plenty of beers. 🤣😂🤣😂😃👍
I'll be a safety Karen: my dad was a painter for decades and couldn't count the number of painters he knew who died of pancreatic cancer because they did stuff like grinding (probably lead) paint, and inhaling other toxic chemicals for years.
I get how d*mn annoying it is to have people chasing you around cutting into your time with PPE. I'm technically the Safety Officer for our shop. Two days after that task was added to my management responsibilities I had a trailer fall on my foot thanks to an improperly secured folding jack. I wasn't wearing steel toe boots, instead it was Nikes, and I was now looking down at one crushed toe and another hanging by strand of skin. I see a lot of it as a necessary inconvenience now. I'm glad to see Dalton, who I respect and enjoy watching, looking out for himself👍🏼
@@rubinthomas8586 We all love to see Dalton not be completely cavalier towards his life. He's a smart guy, a good dad and a capable mechanic. The world needs more Daltons, not less.
That sounds terrible about your foot, I hope it was salvageable?
@@samragsdale2301 yep, just lost the middle toe, and the one on the right of it (this is my left foot) looks like a smashed grape, which is just funny. I call them Nubbin and Grape. I actually hobbled into work the next day. The look on my bosses face (he's also a friend) was priceless 🤣 👌 Thanks for asking👍
I do it now. But I began in a different time. I've done my time being a lab rat. No, I will not complain, why would I? I'm sure the 1,000,000 🚬 will get me first. 💥 KIDS! DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO. OR MY FOOT GETS BROKE OFF IN YOUR 🫏 .
@@COUNTINGSLURPULA your health really isn’t worth sacrificing for almost anything.
This episode is amazing.
Started off with bullet holes in the trunk. Then adding “drain holes” to the floor. And the. Bashing the heater core to smithereens because… Ford!!!
I just recently finished doing a head job on my 1969 Mercury Marauder which has almost exactly the same engine layout and heater core/blower box setup and I ran into the exact same problem and 90% of the battle was just trying to get access and room to do the work.
I love how you can see Dalton's shirt through the "Bio Hazzard Suit" lol.
You really don’t have great luck with those 460s, a 4:29 would be neat, but I think your idea of a 400 Pontiac going in your Torino would make amazing content! It would make both the Ford and GM guys cringe but I bet there’s a lot of of us out there that would love it. Lol
14:28 😂 "That hole has great compression..." lmao...
What I love about this channel is it's realness. I always say that I get lucky so many times that I'm due for a pooper. They happen. Real life things.
Love this early access!
Least I can do
@@PoleBarnGarageI still see good parts on it
I was busy cooking dinner & was not actually watching the video rather listening to it. I heard that rapid clackclackclackclack then silence & thought to myself "that engine just locked up, big time". Damn bro that was alot of damage!
not sure if he got a new camera or not but i loaded up the video and went whooooaaa PBG is gettin fancy!!!! super clear and detailed camera work!
glad you are taking care of your health and feeling better
that stinks on the engine at least you got a pair of DOVE heads and some other good stuffs and Angus will get the parts he needs for his.
I'm drooling over the Torino. That series is going to be epic!
Off the road since the 80s and the fuel pump managed to pull up that ancient varnish?? Shiiiiit thats a keeper for sure lol love the vid dalton
Nice…just what I needed on a lazy Sunday!
I love how this just devolved into chaos. You look like you need a hug Dalton .
Absolutely love these 70s lincolns but when those frames go there's pretty much nothing you can do and theyre scrap lol
The interior/trim bits and bobs are pretty valuable though (because nobody bothered to part them out because nobody bothered restoring them)
I remember when I had spent months putting an old freightliner into roadworthy condition. I was about a week away from putting license plates on it and putting it to work and then the motor 8V92 Detroit blew up.
8:50 jess- "i brought your hole punch" lol.
Holy shit I lost it at that part hahaha
Now that you have the D0VE heads I'd take 1 of the other 2 smog 460s and with some better pistons camshaft have a great engine or the Cadillac bronco creation Kevin owns has a domed piston 460 in it
No waste of time at all MrD…. Just pure honesty…. Admirable 🙌👏👏👏👏🥇
Pour Angus... Do we need to get him some mental health care?
Lord knows he needs it
I'm worried he may be too far gone...
@@PoleBarnGarage to be fair. we all do.
given our love for all things rusty possibly containing sure death at every turn.
Pour?
@@logicthought24 Me too. Instead of Autocorrect, I call it Automistake.
Those are fantastic engines. Had a 79 bronco with a 351M, took it out and put in one of those 460 DOVE C ENGINES and oh yeah. BAD ASS.
I might catch hell for this but as a young boy I was always told to treat the internal combustion engine with respect. The tractors, the generators, the cars, the trucks, even the lawn mowers. If it was an internal combustion engine, it needed to be “warmed up” properly before use. So when I see a motor that hasn’t ran in decades being red lined… no surprise when it comes undone. Sorry for your loss Dalton. 🫤
I was also not that surprised to see that happening. But sometimes you just have to lose...
Built ford tough is a understatement with that heater box lol😂😂
Always loved big Lincolns. Had A 73 Mark 4 with A warmed over 70 dove head. Best of both worlds. Ride on A cloud and still melt the tires off. I miss that car.
Love the quote from “Escape from NY”.
One of the most entertaining people on TH-cam. I absolutely love your content. Sorry the engine didn't fair out.
Love the PPE. Don't get the plague again! lol
I do thoroughly enjoy the comedic portions of these videos :)
How you tell stories is unmatched!
9:06 The good old semi auto hole puncher 😂
Don't fret.
Failures are as much fun to watch as your successes.
No failure, no success.
We all f**k up sometimes.
On to the next project!
Dalton, I and others in the comments agree. Especially when you care about making something even kind of nice. It's okay to just do the "less interesting" video of pulling and rebuilding the engine.
Glad to see you avoiding plague and caring the smidge more about safety.
As much as we like content, heartbreak and/or death would be so much sadder than a slightly less interesting video.
