Sorry mate but.. this Product is Snake Oil. Dont do it. Eat healthy, dont drink alcohol and stop wearing a hat all day and youll be alright.
Love the longer format videos, thank you for the long nights and listening to what we the viewers were looking for.
Have you ever used blue loctite on bolts on internal parts like rod bolts? I’ve head of ppl doing this and I did as an added safety parameter to which the motor has 260k on it and hasn’t had any issues due to that. I still torqued them per spec but I was just concerned it may not be 100% correct with a Napa torque wrench that’s been sitting on a shelf not calibrated for the last 5 years.
@@andrewgoforth6891 there are different versions of that blue Loctite these have distinct properties and applications that are different from one another Loctite 243 is more resistant to oil also you have the Blue 242 that one's not very resistant to oil.
42:20 As a builder of multiple 235’s over the decades, I really appreciate the fact that you mentioned the different length timing cover screws.
I’ve seen many so called engine builders install long screws in the slots that dead stop against the face of the block. The screws extra length push the timing plate away from the face of the block. Which of course results in a constant oil leak between the block and timing plate.
Amazing engine shop !
I wish I had a shop like yours near by.
The only bad thing about this channel is not seeing it running in the car/truck I realize it’s impossible as they are customers engines, just would be so cool to see all the hard work in operation. ❤
There is nothing like experience. Another good video. Thanks
Watched some on engine power. They put them on a dyne afterwards, but nowhere near this detail
These guys are beyond honest. They show all the flaws and don't try to hide them. If you live close enough to these guys that they could do your machine work, your blessed!
@@JAMSlONLlNE yall do great work, I enjoy watching.
Whenever someone gets their engine back, they don't need to rely on the machinists word that a good job was done, they can follow along the video trail & see what was done, warts & all. Can't ask for more than that.
@@KB10GL for sure
I don't but that's what freight carriers are for...thank God
The technical content alone is worth the watch but the dry humor and banter between you two always cracks me up.
Watching this series of the 235 chevy brings back many memories to this 78 year old. Thanks guys and, keep on smiling.
Me too, except we would pull this motor out, have it hauled to the wrecking yard, and install a SBC........
@@ricksmith4736Wrecking yard? For perfectly rebuilt engine? Can’t believe anyone would do that. This is a workhorse and good for 100K with proper care. Install it in a farm truck and put it back to work.
Give a story please sir!
A farm truck is far better served with a diesel engine.
@@ricksmith4736 I had a 53 1/2 ton Chevy that had the ole 235 and I took it out and sold it. Then I put in a good motor !!! A 1970 351 4V Cleveland, along with a toploader 4 speed, and 9" rearend. I also put in a Nova subframe and suspension under it.
THIS is rebuilding an engine and not only making it good as new; but better. So many people say that they have “rebuilt” or “restored” something when most times it’s a few new parts and a coat of paint.
I’ve just rebuilt a 13,000 miles Fiat 1.3 16 valve diesel. The cam chain had broken but the sacrificial rockers avoided serious damage.
Cylinder head and valves lapped. Checked with blue. All were ok.
Bottom end bearings were good so I have not replaced them. Bores were glazed so I honed them. They’ll do another 100,000 with sensible oil changes. Oil pump checked - it’s ok. New cam chain, rockers, lifters piston rings, turbo and all seals replaced. It’s also had a new clutch and common rail fuel pump.
Unlike this bodged GM, it’s not always necessary to replace or re engineer everything.
@@davidelliott5843 what was re-engineered on this bodged Chevy? You freshened that fiat while fixing a failure, they are rebuilding this old Chevrolet. An old farmer would have just ran a ball hone through the guides and replaced the bent valve and it would have run fine until the front main bearing killed it. Probably after the 13,000 mile life span of a fiat timing chain...
The last shop messed some things up and this shop is just giving the customer what the last shop should have but didn't. Do fiats live long enough to have updated repair procedures? The designer of that fiat probably wasn't born when this 235 Chevrolet was originally designed.
Ive done that! 😂
They do fine work, but they used a beat up piston over, a used camshaft, and the crankshaft has been ground. Just sayin'.
@@kellyappel3015 Just sayin'??? All of that was discussed at length and functional found to be as good as new. Spending money just for the sake of spending is ridiculous.
11 miles. Too funny. As a Chevy Inline 6 fan, I really appreciated this series. There's plenty of home builds on youtube, but darn few pro shop builds. I learned some new techniques. Thanks!
In a world where LS swaps are becoming ever more common, it’s beyond refreshing to see someone stick with the Chevy 6. I own my late grandfathers 76 Nova with the 250 and that old beast hasn’t let me down once in the near 10 years I’ve been driving it. A true survivor in every sense of the word
@@jerrysgardentractorsengine2243 The Chevrolet seven main six is one of the great unsung heroes of engines. They have been in millions of vehicles and can take amazing amounts of abuse.
@@kimchipigThere was another 6 on TH-cam with twin turbos. It was a 292 putting out around 600hp with a stock crank.
THE BEST THING ABOUT UTUBE IS FINDING THE PEOPLE NOT ONLY WHO DO GREAT JOBS BUT CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO. I WOULD NEVER SEND MY ENGINES TO ANYONE BUT YOU AND YOUR SON. GREAT WORK,,,YOU HAVE GREAT QUALITY BECAUSE YOU TWO CARE.
Robert I admire that you feel this strongly about it and suggest that you may be have one maybe two shops in your general geographic area that are just as good not all shops are bad.
I wish someone near me would put their work online, the garage I use seems ok (most of the time, previous were worse ) but would feel a lot better to get to know the technician I'd even pay a small premium to get the trust some TH-cam content gives ( they could be horrible untrustworthy people but somehow watching this content I don't think so! )@@CothranMike
GOBLESS!
AMEN BOTHER
@@CothranMikeyea but how you gonna find em?
The odds of me even attempting something like this are in the negative integers. Partially because of my age and the lack of a shop however it just dawned on me why I love watching folks like you: it has to do with honesty and integrity with your craftsmanship which appears to be par excellence!
Not too many folks are able to cross that barrier and maintaining the bar of Excellence achieving true professionalism, that which is learned by education, experiences and ongoing training through experiences!
It's absolutely Stellar that you and your son are creating memories while learning and growing in healthy ways and if I didn't know any better I think I might have heard the Mrs behind the scenes with the camera.
Thanks so much for teaching us about respect, honesty, integrity and developing character!
My dad was a professional machinist. He never touched engines though. Love watching your channel. My dad has passed, and I enjoy watching, reminds me of my dad.
This engine received a lot of love in the process... I mean it's far better than when it was first assembled at the factory.
Nice to see the camera lady remind the cleaning guy what his roll is when it’s time to clean the bugs out. Bout time he was getting a little cocky attitude lol Great job !
That 235 is a great engine, I had one in a 1960 Chevy truck and it was the simplest to work on, most reliable motor I ever had. I wish they still made engines like this! 👴🏻
Great video series, thanks for making them!
Even though they were designed and built many decades ago they can run well and last a long time using modern materials and lubricants. However there are not many shops willing to put in the amount of effort required as this one.
The jeep 4.0 comes close.
@@1575murrayThe Ford 300 straight six is a workhorse also
It has a timing gear instead of a chain.
ive seen guys race these engines.
Yes it is a great engine.
My dad would have loved seeing this rebuild but he passed away 5 years ago. He was a auto mechanic years ago back in the 40's 50's and also owned a few shops here in the city. I remember back in the 70's here drove up in a 64 Chevy apache from a friend when I was a kid and he enjoyed working on it. Some of his old tools are still around and they don't make them like it use to now. Great job and thanks for the memory.
My father came up as a young man doing odd jobs to make extra money and he was blessed by coming into contact with people who taught him stuff like this. He was a mechanic on airplanes during WWII and he really loved fooling with engines. He would have loved to see a video like this.
... I'm 71, I remember my uncle and the guys that worked in the barn shop, tune engines by hear and feel....those guys were genuine feeler gages..... blessed that I got to see and hear machinery as a child....thanks jim and u 2 sonny....
It's a pleasure to watch a professional machinist and not a regular 🔧 wrench puller at work.Your attention to detail is some of the best I've ever seen! Also your explanation of why you are doing a certain procedure is clear and easy to understand. There is no school like old school.Your son was very lucky to have you as a parent and teacher!!! It would be really neat if you could get a hold of a Buick 320 straight 8 for rebuilding. I know Hagerty did one but I would like to see you and your son do one!!
I did a Hercules straight 8 for a tugboat when I was at trade school I did a Hudson straight 8 for my brother's 40 pick up I'd like to do a Buick myself a 48 4door just got posted for 2300 a couple hours from me might just be in the cards 😁
I’m 77, an ‘used to be’ old time mechanic. I appreciate old school know how and ‘do it right - do it once’ performance and attention to detail. Thanks for the journey down memory(s) lane!! 👋👍💪👌
Absolutely the most nostalgic experience I have had in decades. I was raised on these motors and the like. The first motor I ever broke was a 194ci. 6 cylinder by putting cold water in a hot motor and cracked the head. I was 13 years old. Water was in the oil and my Dad didn't kill me but it had to be repaired at the local station. Many years later my wife got a 1964 Nova with the same engine and we rebuilt it ourselves. Yes, I sure miss the days when I was able to do for myself whatever I needed. Watching you guys work had me yearning for the camaraderie of shop work with friends. So many old stories, all ancient history now. But the 235ci was my favorite. It had the remote oil filter and took 6.5 quarts of oil. I pulled a trailer across country several times with a 3 speed on tree transmission. Nothing that old chevy couldn't do. When the rust finally claimed him, it was such a sad day, but our newly rebuild engine went into a gorgeous freshly restored 5 window pickup truck where it was really appreciated buy the new owner. I always got a kick out of the distributor that the entire thing rotated by vacuum for timing advance. One tip. If the wires are old and very stiff, the advance is limited to an extent. Keep nice flexible ignition wires for top performance. Many thanks for this great video .
Surely the 1964 Nova had the later Chev red six cylinder engines that had hydraulic lifters and the external oil pumps and 7 main bearing crankshafts. Smaller versions of those engines were being used in Australia from 1964 onwards?
Many flexed till the wire broke. Plate bushing wear would change dwell on advance, or I should say changed gap and not run after points replacement.
I'm closer to 80 than 70 and I have been working on engines since high school. I still dabble in it as long as it's "old school". Good video, Brings back lots of memories. My currennt present to myself is a 1946 CJ2 jeep. I love getting greasy. No one in my family is interested in getting their hands dirty, hair messed up or sweat. Sad. Lots of "stuff" will be lost in 20 years.
If you guys are live streaming on a Sunday just for your you tube audience I call that real dedication to your fans props to you good Sirs
It's not a live stream, it's a premiere of a pre-recorded video.
@@cmmartti ok my mistake. I still stand by my compliment after all they have admitted to working after business hours to create you tube content so there's that :) but yea my bad on the premiere thing :)
It's always great to see such great experience in action. Unlike the pro tuners who spend fortunes putting expensive, beastly crate engines into show cars, I love watching someone who's been doing it for decades rebuilding an old garden-variety Chevy straight-six. You can learn SO much.
As many have noted, the relationship you two have with each other is also wonderful to see. Your dad seems like exactly the kind of neighbor everyone would like to have.
First time I've seen ketchup used to assemble an engine 😂
Ketchup? You mean tomato-based assembly lube?
Sounds like baloney to me🤔
My 1966 Corvair turbo had spreader bars under the valve cover bolts that made 3 points of contact with each bolt. Flat 6 so valve covers were verticle. The spreaders looked like they would fit a SBC. Might fit this stovebolt 6 for better sealing.
In the early 1960's I did a tune-up on a
1956 Chevrolet 6 that belonged to a heart doctor. He was an inventor of a defibrillator device. Dr Zoll was friendly, down to earth and interested in what I was doing.
So the old time mechanic says to the famous heart surgeon ,why do you get so much money for a valve job. it almost the same thing I do. The doctor counters with I do it while it is running!
Or use two cork gaskets, one sealed to the head.... and the next sealed to that first cork gasket....
which creates a "permanent" coffer dam around the head.
Now when the valve cover goes on without any sealant (perhaps a smear of grease?) the bolts only need to be lightly tightened...
the cork gasket does not have to be super compressed by heavy torqueing down to hold back the oil down at the head surface...
Used that trick on a Datsun B210 for 11 years...worked and never leaked.....
Found your channel while surfing TH-cam and am so glad I did. Seeing you guys working together so well is just inspiring. I used to love working as a laborer with my dad as a builder. Learnt so much from him before he retired. It is hard to find people in Australia who take so much pride in their work like you guys. These days it's all about the money and getting the job done quick to get onto the next job. It's really sad in my opinion as we lose the skills and knowledge that the older generation had who actually took pride in their work. Absolutely love this channel. Keep up the great work.

It's not an oil leak, it's an Automated Engine Preservation System. Helps to keep the engine and engine bay in good condition for years to come :)
Automatic undercarriage lubricating system we called 'em.
May The Lord Bless You and Keep You ! 🙏
Your dedication is truly inspiring. Thank you both for everything that you are 🤗
A warm hug from a brakes engineer from UK.
( Ref, the rockers) The guy that never made a mistake never worked a stroke in his life.. love your videos.
Might be the best vapor recovery system I've seen on TH-cam. 😆
This tear-down and rebuild gave me immense pleasure, as a 70 year old, it brought back good memories of doing similar work on “old-school” engines as a late teen - early 20s learning it the hard way in the UK.
Thank you both for a few hours of sane and clear-thinking entertainment.
❤️🇷🇴
The work that goes into engine work is insane, great stuff
Love this channel. Thanks for the videos. Farming, fabricating and machining. Doesn't get any better.
It's really good to see knowledgeable, caring, high quality work. Even an engine as old as this deserves this quality of work.
I am sure it will give many years and many miles of good service. Just beautiful. Just because it is old does not mean it is not good.
Having done a few light rebuilds at home myself. The amount of attention to detail here, random and custom tools is brilliant.
Old school meets new!
These videos brought back a lot of fond memories. My father was a mechanic his entire life and I followed in his footsteps. We rebuilt a 235 engine for my first car which was a 1955 Chevy. Wish I still had it. Thanks for the great videos.
Brand new to this channel. I just watched the 235 Chevy videos. Incredibly inspiring to watch these folks disassemble, diagnose, and rebuild the motor in such a textbook manner. It's like a master class that brings to light all the techniques I've read about and watched over the years. One of the best videos on engine repair that I've ever seen. Thank you both very very much.
I found your channel a few months ago and I would just like to say thank you for sharing the huge amount of skill and experience that you both have. It’s really a joy to see this level of knowledge and understanding of engines on display, it really puts a smile on my face.
Good morning to all the Engine-Heads out there keeping America running on all 8 cylinders
Have a blessed Sunday !
This is a really nice sentiment but I think this comment is funny to be under a vid of them working on an i6 :P
Thank you guys.. This has been a thoroughly insightful and enjoyable series.. It's a joy to watch Dad and Son working together.. May I send my families blessings here in the UK to yours across the pond there..🙏🏼
Great engines! My 1954 3100 has a standard bore 1961 235 in it. My dad & I installed it after putting new rings & bearings in it back in 1997. It has always been reliable and is still going strong!
The cleaning guy, is the soul, of this channel! The son, needs to comment more, to subscribers. TH-cam channels are built, on interactions, more than sponsors. I, love the cleaning guy!
You guys go above and beyond with your builds. Almost like blueprinting. I would be completely comfortable with your shop doing work on any engine I need work on. Congradulations on an EXCELLENT job.
Learned a great trick to prepare head & block, Manifolds cast iron, to most affectively get paint to stick, to last & last.
Using several steps.
Heat block with MAP gas torch, not over heating but just enough to drive OUT from cast iron porosity, any latent trapped fluids and moistures.
Second, wipe it down with acetone and lint free cloths.
Tape off any parts to keep separated from colorings.
Lastly, use Rust-o-leum Brand "rusty metal primer" in the Pint Or half Pint to brush paint!
NOT spray bombs!
Will need those foam type brush sets, to do this task for best even coverage.
This makes the primer bite into the cast iron material, then final color applied will adhere as best as possible!!
Final paint lasts all the engines life till next hot tank.
It always cracks me up how the cleaning guy pronounces measure...."may-shir" 😂
Wrenchead - TBH I don't like it when I hear "Siliken" when the word is "silicone." (I also don't like hearing silicone pronounced "Silicon," silicon is a mineral.)
And "twerking" up the head bolts lol
May-zhur!
When the owner gets it running and dialed in. See if he will bring it by for an update.
There's 2 types of videos out there, one I keep my finger on the mouse and kind of chirp my way through the video and the other is the video I absorb every second of that video cause I don't want to miss a second of it. This is one of those videos. Nice!!!
I've had two trucks with this engine in them, I really have enjoyed a 235 since the early eighties, thanks for showing the full rebuild, I've got a 58 sitting under my shed roof, waiting to be put back on the road after twenty years of sitting. I drove it in right around 2003. Still with original miles, no bondo, all original steel. I've never been beyond pulling the head on these because they've never needed any more. Thanks for a great video!
Thats a fancy engine stand
Great job guys. Not sure if it was a bit of an old mechanics trick, or a hope and pray, I was taught to put a little film of oil on the cork, between the cork and the tappet cover, so that it would not stick as readily. It could be total nonsense as it is rare you get to see how it is a couple of thousand miles later. Keep doing what you do as it is a pleasure to watch.
I absolutely love your channel, it reminds me soo much of working with my father in his engine machine shop, and the was you guys explain everything step by step you can really feel your passion and love for this type of work. Thank you very much for sharing and can't wait to see what's next. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏
I just went back and binge-watched all your videos, and sub'd. Great channel!
All those school measuring tools are fantastic, and then you straighten the rods with a vice and crowbar 😂😂😂😂😂. You surly are a true craftsman
Everybody is making 1 hr + videos I love that
These videos definitely come in handy when working on these old engines. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise very much appreciated!
Always a good day when Jim's releases a video.
I loved that terminology the book used about fail, first attempt in learning! I’m gonna use that. Thanks!
I had a cattle management professor at CSU that said “measure” with same accent as your dad…lol
lol well he did graduate from CSU and his parents were dairy farmers so that makes sense to me! 😂
I really enjoy watching your videos. I especially appreciate the level of explanation you provide. Thank you for making these videos for us.
Thanks for a great series! True American craftsmanship on display.
Thanks for bringing us along this rebuild trip. It was a real pleasure watching you work together and showing how much detail you do to make a quality product.
I watched every minute of this 235 series. 1st time here. Y'all were amazing. My kind of workmanship.
"Don't think too hard... just do things right." Perfect summary!! Great video.
13:30 the chuckle from the camera gal is priceless! Man I forgot how much these old motors were so kludged together, I'm half expecting bobby pins and paper clips!
That was the first engine I rebuilt back in the 60's, and it ran till I enlisted, then my brother drove it for a few years. Thanks for the video.
Congratulations, to Jim/ Nicolas " camera assistant " , ( wooley dog ) , even Scotty . It's been a pleasant " kick back " watching the journey . From Sydney Australia , gratefully yours , Charlie Schultz ( healthcare worker ) , South Eastern District ( think Botany Area ) , of East Coast Australia , best wishes always :) thanks !
I really love watching you guys dismantling and screwing engines back together in between the boring & honing and resurfacing stuff, I also like all the science in between. And yes some motor running videos would be awsome.
What an excellent job y'all did on this motor! All the little details you covered to make it better than new! I also love seeing father and son working together. ❤️
Beautiful job. Pleasure to watch people take pride in their craft.
You talked about grinding the rods on a slight angle so that the sides will pull in when you get ready to hone them. Is this an industry standard or is it something you do? I like the idea and hope that others do it too. I’ve had a lot of parts cleaned and machined through the years but I didn’t know the fine details of what you do. Fantastic! You guys teach me something every time I watch.
The cleaning guy wears a rug ??Looks great . Wouldn't never guessed.
It’s the way his gray hair grows in, it’s makes everyone think he’s got a rug on.. . It’s almost a running joke at this point.
Definitely a running joke! His hair is very real🙂
Brad came up with a really cool piston measuring fixture. QMP racing is one of the best engine machine shops in the country and I have been using QMP for all of my engine machine work since they opened shop. Brad designed that measuring fixture so Mike and his other employees could all measure pistons and reach the same results with other methods each person would come up with a different result.
I’d like to know half of what this feller has forgotten over the years and the amount of time and precision is amazing to watch. Great content and thank you for taking the time to record it all
Nice rebuild, good technique and attention to detail. It will run for many thousands of miles and will make for a very happy customer. Thanks for the video.
You guys do awesome work so thorough!!!
It’s refreshing to see people still care!!!
You speak and work in engineering terms that I completely understand. I worked in machine shop/toolrooms for over 30 odd years and you bring it all back to me. 🔧🔧🔧🔧
Absolutely flawless attention to detail at each step of assembly!

Your Dad is "AMAZING", never seen that kind of "PERFECTIONIST" workmanship in my entire life. If my Dad would have lived he was 94 when he passed, he would have LOVED to watched your dad work. He was a Mechanic out here in California, from 1950-1965. Old School Machinist like your Dad are a Dying Bread, good thing you are going to keep up the Tradition. Don, CA. 3-3-2024.
i have had 250 and 292 Chev as well as a 4 litre jeep- love the inlines! Heavy buggers though.
Guys, I love your content.
You are both so lucky to spend your time together. ❤
I would love to see a video posted on your channel of the owner installing and first run of this engine! ❤
What would be cool is, a follow up video on this !
And on any other engines you build. Maybe some of your customers could send in videos of their running engines that you built ? 👍
I thoroughly enjoy watching you guys rebuild engines. Love the fact that if you dont do something exactly like the book says it should be done you explain exactly how and WHY you did it the way you did. Keep the camera and content rolling.
My favorite build!
Watching you two is just delightful, genuine artists at work.
You’re the first one in 50+ years I heard someone call a moth a “miller”. My cousins in rural Western NY called them that.
I love the way you two work together your videos make me happy and enthusiastic
This is the engine I had in my first car '56 chevy. As a teenager I did everything I could to destroy it, but it never gave up. Not a high performance engine, but I took it to the drag strip and ran it week after week and it surprised me and a few other people and some who had v8s of the day. Two one barrel carbs and split exhaust manifold plus putting solid lifters on the original cam. My daily driver and pulled boat and other trailers. After replacing it with a 283 V8 the straight six lived on in a homemade off road buggy and went to one of my friends to continue on.
First car I owned, that actually ran, was a 56 Chevy with a 235. This really brought back memories.
I had a 4.0 LT Jeep. The factory service manual talks about using different size bearing on a single journal. They even did it at the factory. they would color code the bearings.
This was an extremely informative video.
With all of the due diligence that was applied to this engine rebuild it should run very well for a really long time. Nice job.
What a fantastic video! I absolutely love the way you explain every step you take in the measuring and machining of the engines! Then you follow up with an excellent paint job that truly sets you builds apart from so many other " expert" shops!
You two and the cook are a pleasure to watch work together. Super impressed with this build.
It’s really great to see two men who love each other work together. I’m sure you are very familiar with the old saying, “the apple doth not fall far from the tree.”
That design has some quirks but they were built with some craftsmanship. Now REbuilt by two craftsmen. Good show and very enjoyable to watch.
It's unusual to see a fully skirted piston. I'm so glad that you follow through on jobs like this so we can see how it's done RIGHT. You do things that most other shops disregard.
Man this engine stuff fascinates me I should’ve been a machinist love watching and learning
Nice to see great folks who are good at what they do…..do it with pride and integrity!
Great content! I learned some things and I'm an old man. I would smear some grease on the surface that you don't want the gasket to stick to. Old Holley carburetor trick so you can remove the bowls and reuse the gasket.
Its becoming increasingly rare to find people that take pride in doing their jobs properly and truly love the craft, actual professionals. Long videos, but its a pleasure to watch and well worth a subscription.
Terrific play-by-play of what you are doing and why! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. In 1971 I had a 1948 ford flat head 8 that I wanted to make run better. However as a teen, I had no idea of what to do. It never ran again, which was very disappointing. Seeing what you know and all the minutia that goes into a rebuild, I see that I never would have been able to do it myself. Again, great job and thanks for showing all the things that go into making an old engine "new" again!
“Why do we keep doing this?” “Why’d you put tools away?” These are my favourite quotes as I literally say this to my workshop mate every single time we take on a engine project! Bravo!
