Great video! I have two well-used flatheads in the garage and have always wondered about re-building them. This is the best video on valve removal I have seen!
About 18 years ago I tried tearing down a flat heat that was in this condition and gave up. I left it in the corner of the shop when I sold the place. I didn't have as much patience back then...
Man.... i didnt like the idea of whackin those valve stems with a chisel... and now i know why 😢 I would think you could fix that intake port but that was definitely an unforced error.
agreed... I got carried away and over confident after it worked on the other 2 intake valves. Doesn't help that I was getting tired and sending it with the hammer :) lesson learned... that's why I didn't mind paying the $300 for the engine... the small things learn I am sure will pay off later on. Including how to weld cast iron now !

Wonderful video! I thoroughly appreciate the insightful content you've presented in this tutorial. While there were moments when the audio seemed a bit muffled, overall, I found this content to be highly enjoyable.
@@calirod either way you executed it with what you got we all have to start Somewhere I started with one husky little box of tools going to door to door getting new customers doing just oil change and brake pads
This one of those engines where you cant blame its condition on being old, just getting set aside for an overhead valve engine, and somebody decided not to care about the storage. A cracked block is understandable to toss, but this baby has had the internals exposed to the elements for way too long.
After tearing it down it has cracks along the cylinder walls … I think it began running bad , the took off the oil pan… saw the cracks and then never cared for it.
Ohhh its cracked... I invite you to check out the rest of the videos. Regardless its not a complete waste of time, it could be sleeved and saved. And if not I was able to get 4 videos edited with potentially 1 more soon in order to keep growing this channel.
We really appreciate you taking all this time to show us how to work with this piece of history, which many of us are not aware of this type of engine….

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time… they are fun simple engines but can get pricey !
bigger exhaust valves ?
I don’t think so, but I also don’t know if all valves had the ford logo… pistons looked to stock.
on second thought like a stocker, been a few years, I'm 84. my first racing flathead was a 3/8's by 3/8's, 296 C.I.
That’s great, thank you for sharing your knowledge James.
so ok .. I understand that you like to be neat and clean ... but why don't you change into work clothes ... then you will get all dirty
Lol… those are my work clothes… old jeans with a tear in the butt that were hemmed twice 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're a real miner ... you urgently need to change your tools
😂😂😂
the more I watch, the less I believe that I am seeing and hearing what is happening in this video....I must be dreaming 🤔
Right! 😅… I remember going through the pain… wondering if I would ever get it apart
@@calirod 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are being punished for not being good to a woman...I think you are, but you could be better 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Muito bom

I may come off calm and collective in the videos… put trust me I took about 2 solid breaks to keep me from chuckin’ this thing 🤣
@@calirod oh I totally understand lol 😆
We need more updates on this engine!!!!!!
This video series is next! Stay tuned 👌🏽
A plasma cutter is your best friend in this job! Been there.
That would have been easier, need to buy one!
This is not OHV or SOHC , so what type of engine is ?
Not sure! I don’t think there is a proper acronym for it
Valve in block, or side valve

Thanks Joey! I agree… audio needs to improve… I think it should be pointing the other way 😅 thanks for taking the time to watch and comment
I'm enjoying the build. Can't wait to see how it turns out
Great job and all I just question the tools 😅
Me too… never had to get aggressive with other builds 😂

hell yeah, that is awesome @@PTAR1984

I really hope that block is not cracked and you wasted all that time

This was awesome to read… thanks you for the kind words 🤝🏽
A vat of oil could sure come in handy right about now huh?
yeah, just dunk it and leave it for a while
I was worried about that when you started using the intake port.
Yeah, should have known better… lesson learned 😞
Wow, thats a project.
Good luck.
Thank you! I might need a bit of it
Top ,weiter so! Bin auf das Ergebnis gespannt !👍
Thank you … me too!
Id be cool to see a lincolin v12 get hopped up
Agreed… if flatheads are big $$$ a V12…
@@calirod the lincoln flathead v12 is pretty uncommon in terms of ford flatheads
