The bugs in the cylinder reminds me of the big Healey engine you found stuffed with rice. Someday you should do a video on “best practices” for long-term storage of vintage automobiles.
Nice ride, would love to see the rest of the work, engine and interior, in future videos. It's an interesting engine that has some different technology in it, and I'm curious to know what the guts look like.
Of course we want to see this one. I was steeped in Chevy Stovebolt Six lore. My folks had a ‘39 Master Sedan with the hunchback trunk during The War. And his MOS in the Army was teaching Italian POWs engine maintenance on…these engines! Yes please!
That is the first time I have seen bugs like that an a cylinder bore, quite sereal. I would evict the deceased residents as soon as possible that will help get rid of the smell! The seats as you say look pretty good so one less thing to consider. I will be hoping we get a naturalist in to identify all the species. 😁 This will be an interesting project even if you don't do a full restoration. Thanks again Steve for such variety in your videos. 👍👍
This car looks like it might be a very interesting one to bring back to life, especially if parts are available. I've not seen many pre-war cars worked on and I'm curious to know if that engine is salvageable.
Super excited to see what you are going to do with this car. I hope that you will restore it with as many original engine parts as possible (still usable)
Oh yeah. Keep 'em comin' ! I pulled my 31 chevy out of a garage in '75 where it had. Been sitting scince '54 . I couldn't get it running so I restomoded it in '07. LOL I know. It looks totally stock 'cept for the tires.
It is amazing, I think, that even though there were many different and competing Car Manufacturers back in that era, the basic design lines are somewhat similar. My folks owned a 1936 Packard Six, and it looks so much like this Chevrolet Master. I would really like to see the video(s) showing this one's restoration.
will watch for more on this . Love the old chevys. I had no idea tn 1934 they had overhead valve engines that early. why did they call it a " stovebolt " ? ive heard em called that
Lesson to be learned here, if or when you put an engine into storage, plug the inlet and exhaust substantially to keep all those "critters" out. Nice old car, our neighbors had one when I was a kid.
There’s Babbitt in that engine, but Davin at Hagerty and the machine shop that they use modified the rods in a 1950 216 to accept shells. Involved elongating the oil holes in the shells too. But I’m jumping waaaay ahead. Hopefully the block is serviceable. Exactly what sort of critter volunteered to croak in the car to lend a macabre tone to the video?
It's nice to see you are branching out. There seems to be a trend in going for the older cars. I agree that the engine should be rebuilt. Maybe you could let the oil sit for a while and try the push to turn it over again. I would like to see the disassembly, analysis, machine work and reassembly. Jay Leno might have a parts source you could use.
What do you mean by branching out? My very first video on this channel was a 1929 Willys Overland 4-Door Sedan: th-cam.com/video/Y3Pnym2Q4Kk/w-d-xo.html
@@ThisWeekWithCars My bust or bad... I have been watching your TH-cam videos for the past year. Thought I had seen them all. Guess I missed that one. I'm glad to see the enthusiasm when it comes to difficult car issues. You are very methodical in your approach, and I commend you on that. When you opened up that MG-TD (I think) motor with what looked like an aquarium of transmission fluid or Marvel's Mystery Oil, many of my automotive students would have thrown in the towel. You kept at it until you were satisfied. Keep up the good work, and Well Done!!!
Wow that's a real oldie. At least the engine rebuild should be pretty simple, but on the other hand, if you're not worried about serial numbers, you could probably find the same engine in going condition somewhere and just do a swap-out..
More videos... I do have a question.. is there a reason you dont use PBBlaster or Marvel Mystery oil in the Cylinders to try to free them ? please post your reply in your next video on this car.
This is going to be interesting. Lot's of debris in those cylinders. Time to pull the head. Hopefully you will get it to break loose, but I'm sure you'll have some serious pitting on those cylinder walls.
The hole at the bottom of the grille is for a handcrank, no? The crank bolt will accept the long crank. I'd vacuum the cylinders of debris. Soak the ring/bores for a few days. Then see if it'll turn & possibly start. You're going to change rings and bore/hone cylinders anyway.🤷♂️
Amazing the doors didn't fall off or at least drag on the running board ! Those old Chevs were all coach build ,all the body framing was wood! Given the overall condition that car must have kept inside for most all of it's life. Back in'61-62 a friend of mine found a '31 that was at 30 years old in no better shape, not like your 88 year old one !! First car my Dad got after WW II was a 35 Chevy 2 door, kept it until we move to Arizona in'50 when he upgraded to a 41 Chevy 2door. Have Fun !!!
It could be worse, it could be like the 1930s Chevrolet on Cold War Motors' channel that was parked up in the 80s with head gasket failure and a cylinder full of coolant.
If you look through my videos I am doing these cars to actually be used and drive them to shows. It might take a year or two to finish them but I go into the "boring" details of fixing everything.
Definitely would like to see this one come back to life
Love to see an engine tear down and rebuild 👍
Can’t wait to see the engine tear down of this can’t wait to see you put back on the road keep the vids coming bud.
Same here
Me too!
Love to see this one come back to life!
"... not the last time you see this car" Yesss, happy to hear that. Definitely more of this car.
Definitely gives a new meaning to "de-bugging" the engine!
The bugs in the cylinder reminds me of the big Healey engine you found stuffed with rice. Someday you should do a video on “best practices” for long-term storage of vintage automobiles.
Heck yeah! Sweet car! Looking forward to seeing it run and drive!
I thought that you would be able to turn the engine with a crank handle.
Nice car and I think it’s a great project for your channel.
Nice save Steve! Hope you do a engine tear down and rebuild on the channel. Keep up the great work!
Nice ride, would love to see the rest of the work, engine and interior, in future videos. It's an interesting engine that has some different technology in it, and I'm curious to know what the guts look like.
Definitely would like to see the motor get rebuilt! Thanks-
What a lovely survivor! I’d love to see it running again, and I’m sure an engine teardown video would be pretty interesting.
Yes! We want to see the engine rebuild!!
Of course we want to see this one. I was steeped in Chevy Stovebolt Six lore. My folks had a ‘39 Master Sedan with the hunchback trunk during The War. And his MOS in the Army was teaching Italian POWs engine maintenance on…these engines! Yes please!

Looking forward to the next video on this '34 Chevrolet!
Nice one! I think the bar on the back of the front seat is to hang a blanket. It was cold back there in the Iowa winters!
looking forward to seeing this project move forward!
Steve, could you have turned the engine with a starting handle? There looks like there is a hole for one at the bottom of the front grille .
There is no way it would have enough leverage.
Can’t wait to see more videos on this car. I have the exact same one myself except I’m planning on updating the driveline & suspension.
This car looks like it might be a very interesting one to bring back to life, especially if parts are available. I've not seen many pre-war cars worked on and I'm curious to know if that engine is salvageable.
Looking forward to seeing more work on this classic vehicle. Great video again Steve.
Thanks, Steve. Can't wait for the next video on this car. Very clear explanations for all to understand.
Thank you for all your content very impressive car collection really appreciate what you do saving so many cars
Great start looking forward to more.
Oh, that car looks great. I like your plan with it.
Super excited to see what you are going to do with this car. I hope that you will restore it with as many original engine parts as possible (still usable)
Great project, looking forward to seeing more on this great old car!
More videos please, I find these old 30s cars very interesting.
Fascinating to see how similar a 1930s vehicle is to a 1960s, mechanically. Will be cool to see this running again!
Can't wait to see you racing the Master.
Oh yeah. Keep 'em comin' !

a 1936 Packard Six, and it looks so much like this Chevrolet Master.
I would really like to see the video(s) showing this one's restoration.
I am sure there was an opening at the bottom of the radiator for a crank handle, there is probably a handle in the boot
Love to see the motor rebuilt soon!
will watch for more on this . Love the old chevys. I had no idea tn 1934 they had overhead valve engines that early. why did they call it a " stovebolt " ? ive heard em called that
It will be fun to see this car come back to life!
Interesting car. Would love to see more of this one.
yes i would like to see more
1929 was the first year for the Stovebolt 6. 34 was the first year they used "Blue Flame" in the advertising.
Lesson to be learned here, if or when you put an engine into storage, plug the inlet and exhaust substantially to keep all those "critters" out. Nice old car, our neighbors had one when I was a kid.
Go for it, it's a beautiful surviver.
great stuff thanks
I'd like to see this engine rebuilt and the car running!
Excellent video :) also rebuild motor also best bet and what all needs !
I wish you videos were 2-3 times longer. Wish this had engine removal and teardown, with a part 2 showing rebuild and re-install.
Will look forward to seeing the motor apart to see what happened ! 👍🇨🇦
I'm waiting with enthousiasm to see that car running. I love old Chevy.
There’s Babbitt in that engine, but Davin at Hagerty and the machine shop that they use modified the rods in a 1950 216 to accept shells. Involved elongating the oil holes in the shells too. But I’m jumping waaaay ahead. Hopefully the block is serviceable.
Exactly what sort of critter volunteered to croak in the car to lend a macabre tone to the video?
Will you be doing another video on this? Would make for great.content.
Want to see the engine rebuild.
I would like to see the engine teardown and rebuild, thanks for the video
I would like to see this one running.
Weird! How did bugs make their way into the cylinder cavity!! Quite the trip they took to get down there..
Probably up the exhaust and through open exhaust valves into the cylinders.
Yes Steve go for it
Can't wait to see the engine strip down and rebuild.
Story county plates. I’d love to see it back on the road after a restore or restomod is complete

I do use those products but those are the kind of thing you would use when you can let the engine sit for months.
Crusty Aliens in the cylinders. Sounds like fun.
Worth saving ! 😀
Will you try to start before rebuilding engine ?
This is going to be interesting. Lot's of debris in those cylinders. Time to pull the head. Hopefully you will get it to break loose, but I'm sure you'll have some serious pitting on those cylinder walls.
I look forward to seeing its revival.
Definitely more please
definately want to see more, cool car
That one will be a good one to get going again
Very interesting please to see a result
Of all the things I expected to see on the borescope, that was not one of them.
I would fill all the cylinders with ATF and acetone, let it sit for a few days, then rock it back and forth in 3rd
Good plan
The hole at the bottom of the grille is for a handcrank, no? The crank bolt will accept the long crank.
I'd vacuum the cylinders of debris. Soak the ring/bores for a few days. Then see if it'll turn & possibly start. You're going to change rings and bore/hone cylinders anyway.🤷♂️
This 34 Chevy engine rebuild should be interesting. Nothing like replacing babbitt bearing. I have no qualms about you getting it up and running.
More vids on this car please :)
Definitely want to see more of this! Do you do the machining personally or outsource?
Neat looking car.
Can you move " removing the dead mice" up your priority list?
Sweet car its worth saving 2x👍
Stunning car
Yes for sure
First year for the stovebolt engine was 1929 so this was year 5.
Lets DO IT STEVE !!!!
What I like about the old metal it was not so quick to rust.
More please.
Very solid old car! 👍 This is the oldest car you have done a video on I think.
Not even close, I have done videos on 1920s vehicles since my first video I posted: th-cam.com/video/Y3Pnym2Q4Kk/w-d-xo.html

why don’t you use the crank to try to turn it over!?
It appears to have been able to cranked over with a starting handle or did my deceive me
It could be worse, it could be like the 1930s Chevrolet on Cold War Motors' channel that was parked up in the 80s with head gasket failure and a cylinder full of coolant.
"More videos like this"??? Yeah! GIMME!
Things were so simple then!
The hand crank should be in the trunk with the jack
An Iowa car, looks pretty good considering...
So if this is like most “will it run” channels we’ll never see an update video
If you look through my videos I am doing these cars to actually be used and drive them to shows. It might take a year or two to finish them but I go into the "boring" details of fixing everything.
No starting handle? One would expect one on a vehicle of that age.
Ever see the movie "Slugs"... so strange
Big tank
I am trying to view you videos from the first video but I'm unable to find them. An I doing something wrong.
Love to see the engine tear down on a stand. A heavy duty stand. Lol
