The startup sequence, using only boiler room number 1, would take up to 2 - 3 days to build up steam to start the dynos and preheat all the cylinders in the 4 cylinder triple expansion steam engines, to operating temperature. *This part is critical as any steam engine CANNOT be rolled over while cold due to difference in clearance when cold. Cylinders must be properly preheated to allow for proper expansion for startup sequence.* There are probably alot more steps but essentially once everything is warm, and your a day away from departure, you'd then have to fire up the rest of your boiler rooms, "There were 6 in total" to generate the steam necessary to actually roll over the engine. Once that is done and your hours away from departure you'd then warm up whats called the "Brown's hydraulic engine" These engines where used for a few things in the engine room such as changing over the massive changeover valves that vented exhaust steam to the central "Parson's low pressure turbine" which drove the central prop, to vent directly to the condensers. In this instance in would sit by the flywheel and function as a starting engine. Here there are a few steps missing but essentially once the command comes down from the bridge for either dead slow or slow ahead, they would engage the "Browns hydraulic engine and would get the massive engines to slowly spin over, once the engine is spinning theres a pressure valve they would open in the HP or high pressure cylinder and they would slowing begin to introduce steam into the cylinder. *There are 2 low pressure, one mid and one high, during normal operation steam is introduced into the HP cylinder @215 PSI, is then vented into the intermediate pressure cylinder @ 78 psi, then the 2 LPP cylinders @ 30 psi before being exhausted to the LP turbine or the condensers @ 9 PSI Absolute.* Once enough steam is introduced they close the compression valves on all the cylinders and disengage the browns engine. Your 4 cylinder Triple expansion steam engine is now running at slow ahead. It is important to note that there is no throttle on these things, and depending on speed may only be operating on one cylinder while steam is bypassed and compression valves opened on the remaining cylinders.
I grew up north of Searcy, and I remember my brother buying 50-100$ cars or trucks that had been out in a cow pasture for years. He file the points, put a hot battery on it, air the tires up and drive it home.
My brother and I rolled one off it's roof after putting on a gas tank (it almost fit, close enough) and drove it "near" home (couple mile short) one of the "may pop's" popped.

The old girl sounds pretty darn good. I think you are the best guy on U-Tube, as far as getting any engine unstuck and running. You have it down to an art!
You are the man,! These ol Y block Ford engines are tough, i had one once that was so worn it used 4qts of oil every 50 miles and ran and ran. I cut my teeth on these old Fords, glad to see you saving them and making them live again, keep up the rescues and i will be watching from a distance.🤠
Thanks buddy for getting her to run finally got the knocking to stop at the near end.:) Ill keep watching no worries i would love to get my hands to help get the others running. Love ya friend.
It's been long wait for video I look forward to them you have the best video just seams like a long wait I use to work in a wreaking for 20 years I miss working on these old cars trucks you bring a lot good memories let me know read this I like to hear from you
Man ive been watching this guy for years. He needs more subscribers than he has. He cracks me up because he's basically me working on a car. Shits in fire, oil on the ground and everything falling off because I forget to move it before I try to move the car.
The late 40's trucks have always been my favorites. My father drove a 48 Chevy for several years when I was a kid. It finally died in 63 and it got parked in the field for a while. I can still remember playing in that truck. Can't wait to see what you dive into next.
That spider @4:31 looked like it was gonna crawl up and get you haha as always you got it done i think those valve covers are worth more than the truck.cant wait for more videos.
Man. nice when I was in high school I had a 58 f100 with a 312 Y-block had original 4bl carb and 4 speed on the floor that had granny gear, wish I still had it !
See man, I would LOVE to rock something like this! I love the oddball factor with that old T-bird V8 under the hood. I would clean it up, build another bed for it, repaint it, and install some performance mods on it.
Jennings, no one else brings the kind of expertise to a "will it run" video like you do. Here we go! Looking at the Exhaust manifold arrangement, I wonder what they were from. They look like upside down from opposite sides with flanges on each in the front. (I did something like that back in the 60's when I put a 318 Poly Hemi in where a Slant Six used to be. Got some flex tube from J.C. Whitney to make the connections.) And let's not skip right over the fan belt adjustment. What, 7/16" bolts on a massive cast iron slider? And that's only the fan!. Yep, I concur, Starting fluid does start low compression quicker . There's always time to switch over to gasoline after it revs up a couple times and things start working better. OK, the old "Green Stick in the Vacuum Line" trick. Well done Jennings. You got'er running. Now fill'er up with oil all the way to the top of the rocker covers. Fill the intake and each cylinder thru the sparkplug holes for storage. Great going! Fun to watch. ben/ micigan
And there he goes tryin' to set the world on fire again lol. I was eagerly awaiting a new video, as I had been slowly getting to watch all of your videos, and had just about run out when this one was uploaded. You are so awesome with getting these relics to run again; you truly have a magic touch. Another awesome, epic video, thank you.
She runs but sure can hear rocker noise. Also sound like It's A little high In timing. I would love to see what gunk comes out of the oil pan. Nice video man. Love watching you get these old ones running.
Man, I was hoping to hear an old flathead run today… But either way still a great video probably one of my favorite automotive channels on TH-cam. I am a huge vintage car person and this channel is awesome. Keep it up man.
I love seeing these old cars brought back to life! I reckon it'd be hilarious driving this thing at about 10 mph past a State Trooper with the doors hanging open and the bonnet up..... ;) However much the ticket would be, it'd be worth it for the laughs!
That old 289 engine sounds pretty good. Hear a little lifter noise. Probably will smooth out. Moves with flat tires. Great will it run. Thanks for sharing. 💯👊👍
I remember when I first started driving in the 90s I was always at a local salvage yard getting parts for everything. The whole junkyard was on the side of a mountain and the owner had a ford wrecker like this that he often gave me rides in to the top of the hill and back down if I had a lot of parts. It was about in the same shape too lol
Its good to see you post a video. I had begun to think we had lost you. I always enjoy watching you fire up those old engines. Do you sell these old cars, or parts them out or what?
@@jerryhammond2730 most I sell I try to find people that will fix them and get them back on the road I try not to sell parts off of anything that can be fixed
Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⚓ compared to some of your other will it runs, this truck seems to be fairly problem free. Thanks for another great video dude ✌️🇺🇲
@@ANALOG-ARCHIVE-A-A it’s in a lot better shape than the usual ones I get lol it’s some how 96 percent rust free the guy it came from had a salvage yard and he only kept the best stuff and crushed the rest
Ah yes an Y block! Got through getting one going for my neighbors. You definitely have some money sitting right there. Not necessarily for the engine unless it was the special that Ford had but that teapot carb and intake is worth a bit as well as those valve covers. My neighbors were actually looking for a teapot setup once upon a time. The ticking might get eliminated if you adjust the valves some. Theirs ticks when the valves are out. It might have some bad blow by but check to see if the road draft tube might be blocked. If it is, that can cause the engine to build positive crank case pressure.
"dadgum" Now that's mountain man cuss words y'all- the 239 and the 292 may have had that front cross pipe for the exhaust but maybe not the 312--at 15: 25 that valve cover was rattling until it fell off- and jennings bolted it down I'm glad there was no SBC under that old hood. The old- Y-block scares many old timers ..back then only Ford had v-8 "power" which in some cases was only a few more HP than a big old flathead 6,like what 90 HP? Great video, JMS
I have been watching your channel for a few years now, did not know you was local until the county paper did that story on you a couple weeks ago. I am from Mountain View, I hope to meet you someday.
I need to send this guy a case of starting fluid. He could probably fire up the titanic with it.
@@7xtc25 i might could lol but the titanic is steam might be a bigger challenge would probably need a few tons of coal

Never seen someone start such vehicles that have been left for dead so many years ago. And have the success be has had.
