@@AstraWerke hahah 😂, absolutely fantastic video as always If you ever plan to come down here in italy with your wonderful Model A, be sure to tell me!
With all the high pants, high socks and high haircuts, you could have produced this video in black and white and I would have believed it was made in the 50-60’s. Nice work as always
Glitter is normal, just keep tabs on what's in the oil itself and if it continues on your 7th schedule oil change then check the oil pan for a glitter bomb. Babbitt bearings loves to make the oil festive when your braking them in.
I have almost 1500 on my overhauled engine. I run in the smoky mountain so lots of steep here. Been through all you have and understand the tribulations of the Model A. I've had mine all my life.
Seems like you and Paul Shinn have adopted the Vice-grip Garage lingo. Great job on the engine rebuild. Sorry you had such bad experiences with the “engine builders”. Wishing you many thousands of miles of happy motoring!
Your videos are so instructive - I didn't know the color "scheisse" yet! Learned something for life again. Everyone will admire my refined English! Thanks so much!
It´s normal to have a warmer engine just after rebuild, because of the higher friction from all the new parts wearing in. Lovely to see your ford model a back in service!!
Having arrived in Bonn the clicking noise was "gonn" ! Nice to hear! 😁 ;-) By the way: One time a different Astra Werke intro music theme could be heard. 2) I was glad to hear/see that it was only a loose nut that was driving you nuts. 3) Driving carefully to break in the engine smoothly came definitely to a sudden stop in the trench on the field. 🙉 I'm glad that nothing broke.
Thats a huge amout of metal it caught! Probably normal for a break in after a rebuild. But imagine if some portion of that metal got funneled down to the main bearigns or got anywhere else. Engine longevity is closely negatively linked to circulating metal particles in the oil, especially iron particles. So a filter is really good for longevity.
Glad you got your engine back and got the car running --- Enjoyed the countryside scenery ----- A little scary when you brought the car down off the jack and onto the ground ----- When Henry Ford introduced the Model T's and the A's to the public ---- Oh --- they could go anywhere ------ You just hit the ditch at the wrong angle ----- and it does go anywhere ---------- The final oil drain and change ---- the magnetic drain plug just looked like material from cylinder walls seating in the rings ---- wearing off some of the cross hatch pattern on the cast iron walls ----- Looks like you have a WINNER there ------ hope you get a half million miles as I have on my 2001 Toyota Echo -- 1.5 L. -- four banger ------ Hope it's not Hot and Dry over there as we are here ------- Have a Good One ---- See Ya on your next Adventure ----- Rodney
That engine has been built properly. I would do another 1000 miles and rip open another filter. Sounds like a good build. Love the sound of that model A. I think kne of these will be in my future as well.
Great Video as usual. It was inspiring to see the Model A touring the country again. HOWEVER, I was a bit surprised over your technique to extract your car from the trench. Over here in America, we tend to PUSH our cars out of ditches from the front, rather then pull from the rear. It avoids the nasty chance of running over our helpers !!! :)
@@AstraWerke 🤣🤣I parked my 1932 Ford on an inclined driveway with the engine running and I walked away to take a picture. Unfortunately the emergency brake was not adjusted properly so the car began to roll backwards towards a small pond. It was moving to fast to attempt to climb in, so I lunged at the gear shifter and pulled it into 1st gear, of course with no use of the clutch. That motion killed the engine and stopped the car a few feet from a horrible BATH !!
Good job, beautiful scenery. I hope too see it someday. My great grandmother was from Bonn. Love your music and looks like you have some good and silly friends. I had a rattle in my A. Chased it for a month. Loose headlight lense! Glad you enjoy that car so much, A's are special.
Here in the U.S. the Model A Ford is very popular among old car enthusiasts. Many Clubs exist. German Ford Rhine trucks basically used a Model A engine. Ruhr trucks too I believe. Soviets as well. Here is a link to Paul Shinn's video's if you aren't familiar with him, he is the technical director of the Model A Club with many members. Many very good videos and advice. ENJOY! youtube.com/@ModelA?si=uumMFCewayUcnT9H
0:46 You can see the hurt expression in her headlights when you said that! She's trying her best. Ironically, the Model A has better emission numbers than the 2-cycle DKW! Lucky for you that you have friends who are a crazy as you are. I'm loving the shots of Hannah in action. They were correct when they called the Model A a "Baby Lincoln". She's a beautiful car. 23:50 "In any motor vehicle, the part that is most likely to cause trouble is the nut that holds the steering wheel"😂 This was a really cool video. It looks like you and your friends had a blast and Hannah came through like the champion she is.
Muy bueno, gracias por poner la traducción a español,es normal los primeros km ese metal, acá en Argentina no tenemos filtro de aceite ni de aire,por tener la dirección del lado derecho,en mi país hasta el año 45,se manejo por mano izquierda,y el acelerador lo tenemos en el medio de los pedales de freno y embrague,el movimiento que usas atornillado atrás del block para el acelerador,acá se usa para el arranque. Saludos y a disfrutar esa coupé
It should be golden soon, the oil filter grabbed some of the normal break in metals, bearings, thrust surface clearance etc, and some machining metals that were possibly trapped in oil passages etc. There is nothing that you showed that is out of the normal for a new engine build. Cut open the next two filters and it should be about nothing by the 3rd filter is my experience... Great video, looks like yall had a blast. Road trips are great in these cars for sure; and with friends is what makes them the best. The lightened flywheel is a hands down winner for these motors, frees up some HP and allows it to work better in my opinion. After 5k miles the motor will be a peak operating performance for sure. The heat early on was the rings seating, and other clearances setting in, and when the motor started running cooler was when the rings started to really get seated in and she got happy. Always normal to run hotter for a while till she is broken in. Glad to see it is acting normal like a break in should be. Keep up the good work brother.
That's a relief to hear. Many people advised me against the lightened flywheel - "you'll have less torque, it'll run rough" etc etc... I can't agree on any of it. The engine is more peppy than ever and runs nice and smooth.
I agree based on my experiences as well. That is well within the normal level on the rebuilt early Ford V-8's I've done. As well I also advise checking at least the next two-three filters. Yeah, for a daily driver on pavement, a lightened flywheel is just fine I think. Have fun, which is what you looked to have. Except for that falling off the jack part, That totally freaked me out. Happy Trails!
If attempting to extract a car from a ditch backwards, have your helpers stand at the front and sides of the car and push, rather than pulling while standing directly in the path of the reversing vehicle. Although I suppose standing at the front might have been seen as risky if the car didn't make it out of the ditch. Glad to see the filter setup worked out for you; I love empirical verification.
We briefly tried - but there just wasn't a good angle to push the car from. The headlight bar would have bent, the bumper was on the ground, the fenders couldn't be grasped. So it came down to a delicate foot on the clutch not to run the 3 over ;P
Nice hat-tip to Vice Grip Garage. I suspect that the metal in the oil filter is Babbitt. Another 1000 miles and it should be greatly reduced. Oil changes are cheap insurance! Thanks for another fine video.
I had same situation with my inserted motor, but changed my oil many times because my engine had clutch issues and I had to pull and install it 3 times before it was correct. My engine has Stipe cam, 6:1 head, balanced crank. Adjustable valves, and lightened flywheel. Runs best it ever has.
Another amazing video! Thanks for sharing. What an adventure, a wonderful way to spend a few vacation days. Holler if you ever plan on coming to Detroit.

There is an American vegetable juice brand “V8”. A friend hung an empty can under the hood of his Citröen 2CV and showed skeptics that he had put a V8 in. Maybe I should do this for my 1931 Deluxe Roadster?
Sehr schöner Beitrag , würde mich freuen wenn du mal einen in deutsch machst,na dann viel Spaß mit deinen schönen Ford Modell A , übrigens dein alter Steinschlagschutz macht sich super an meinem Ford 34:55
Another great video! I'm glad to see things are going well. Does it have an aluminum camshaft gear or the original fiber type? Some of that stuff could be from the aluminum timing gear if fitted. I wouldn't worry about it. It's still running in. I'll be putting a 29 truck back on the road next week. It has been sitting for many years with a bad fiber timing gear. I fitted an aluminum one and doing some much needed maintainence on everthing else. Thanks and looking forward to the next video! Ted
I find it strange that you rebuilt this engine and it is running perfectly. On the other hand, your friend's little sedan seems to be burn oil. does he know what the problem is?
Wieder ein wunderschönes Video, habe mich sehr amüsiert! Rothenburg ist immer eine Reise wert, ist einfach ein Muss, wenn man in der Gegend ist. Was wiegt eigentlich der Ford, wenn ich fragen darf?
@@AstraWerke Danke dir, ihr habt mich mit den uralten Autos und fahrenzeugen angesteckt, nur mit 16 hat man halt noch nicht das Geld für n Ford modell a ist aber definitivn ziel nach der Ausbildung eins zu holen, da ich Industriemechaniker lerne kann ich im schlimsten fall auch teile anfertigen. Aber bis daheim fahre ich zumindest ich mit meiner 1983 er und bald auch meiner 1960er hercules durch die Gegend und höre solche Musik. :)
@@davidforster8864 Freut mich, wieder jemand Junges an Bord zu haben. Ernst gemeinter Ratschlag: Bevor du dir so einen Wagen kaufst, sieh zu, dass du mindestens den Wagenwert nochmal auf dem Konto hast, einfach um auf der sicheren Seite zu sein. Ich hab in den letzten 3 Jahren 9000€ an Ersatzteilen in den Wagen versenkt - Öl, Sprit, Steuern und Versicherung kommt noch obendrauf
@@AstraWerke Danke für die Antwort! Mich hat es zudem erstaunt, wieviel Mühe man sich in den USA mit Nachfertigungen gibt: Ich kenne kein anderes Auto ausser dem Ford-A-Modell, wo man per Nachfertigung einen fünffach gelagerten Vierzylinder (anstatt drei Lagern wie im Original) anbietet. Das zeigt, wie sehr man an der Sache interessiert ist.
@@j.1294 Ich denke, das geht hauptsächlich auf die Hot-Rod-Szene zurück, die gerne einen 100-PS-Motor drin hätte, der das auch für mehr als eine Viertelmeile aushält
Die Menge Abrieb ist normal, bei meinem ford b Motor hab ich das Einlauf nach ca 50km getauscht....das war komplett grausilber. Die zweite ölfüllung sieht nach 250 meilen noch relativ sauber aus. Ich fahre ohne Filter. Ich würde das bei dir als normal ansehen.
Ich denke die zweite ölfüllung bei hat die meiste Aussagekraft, denn eigentlich sind kolbenringe nach 100-200 km eingelaufen. Heute gibt es auch Betriebe die nach dem hohen mit einer Kunststoff Bürste nachholen, damit umgeht man das einfahren komplett... gut gebaute Motoren sind nach 1 Betriebsstunden und 1. Ölwechsel vollgaßfest....
Q: what kind of attention do you get (or not) from people? as well as their comments? I have had a 1930 Coupe as a daily driver as well and find it interesting to see just who is interested and what their level of interest is.
What was the most striking to me is that everyone seems to love the car. Old, young, Man, Woman - they all smile and wave. Definately not a car for incognito travels. The only thing that can become slightly annoying over time is the ever-lasting "Is that the famous Model T?" xD
S.g. MavTheCrow 😱 Oh mein Gott. Ja, bitte bloß nicht! Natürlich ist alles reine Geschmackssache. Aber wie kommentierten letzthin einige amerikanische Zuschauer zu VGG jedoch: "Always the same. If you have seen one, you have seen all!". Nach ein paar Videos habe ich aufgehört mir diesen Typen anzuschauen. Wie so viele juhutjuuber ist er mit wachsendem Erfolg zusätzlich deutlich zu überheblich geworden. Er gibt u.A. auch einen Dreck auf die Umwelt und Verantwortung. Er ist außerdem nur auf noch mehr Views = Geld aus. Ich empfinde sein Verhalten auch nicht länger als joking around but as fooling around way too much. Genau wie bei Puddin's fab shop. Mittlerweile dort viiiiiel zu viel Geplapper, fooling around and talking about his merchandise anstatt dem Arbeiten an Vehikeln. Habe daher gestern beschlossen solche, meine Zeit verschwendenden, Videos nicht weiter/länger anzuschauen. Ich kann respektive erlaube mir hier aber zum Beispiel den Kanal No Nonsense Know How wärmstens zu empfehlen. Coldwarmotors, Strong's Garage und Johnathan W. selbstverständlich auch. Viele Grüße, Glück und Gesundheit im Besonderen.
@@AstraWerke Fand ich anfangs auch. Es hat sich allerdings schnell verbraucht (aus den bereits genannten und weiteren Gründen). Schauen sie vielleicht Mal bei den von mir empfohlenen Kanälen "Rhein". Die Hamm dort auch Spaß.

Sehr schöner Beitrag , würde mich freuen wenn du mal einen in deutsch machst,na dann viel Spaß mit deinen schönen Ford Modell A , übrigens dein alter Steinschlagschutz macht sich super an meinem Ford 34:55
Another great video! I'm glad to see things are going well. Does it have an aluminum camshaft gear or the original fiber type? Some of that stuff could be from the aluminum timing gear if fitted. I wouldn't worry about it. It's still running in. I'll be putting a 29 truck back on the road next week. It has been sitting for many years with a bad fiber timing gear. I fitted an aluminum one and doing some much needed maintainence on everthing else. Thanks and looking forward to the next video! Ted
I rebuilt it with a fibre gear, so it can really only be pistons or bearings.
I find it strange that you rebuilt this engine and it is running perfectly. On the other hand, your friend's little sedan seems to be burn oil. does he know what the problem is?
Should it run bad after a rebuild?
The DKW is a two-stroke. If it doesn't burn oil, something's badly wrong.
Where are your Vice Grip"S !!! CHEERS from HERE!
Wieder ein wunderschönes Video, habe mich sehr amüsiert! Rothenburg ist immer eine Reise wert, ist einfach ein Muss, wenn man in der Gegend ist. Was wiegt eigentlich der Ford, wenn ich fragen darf?
Ziemlich genau eine Tonne - 1040 Kilo oder so
Wie heißt das lied von Part 2 der reise Franconia?😅

@@AstraWerke Danke dir, ihr habt mich mit den uralten Autos und fahrenzeugen angesteckt, nur mit 16 hat man halt noch nicht das Geld für n Ford modell a ist aber definitivn ziel nach der Ausbildung eins zu holen, da ich Industriemechaniker lerne kann ich im schlimsten fall auch teile anfertigen. Aber bis daheim fahre ich zumindest ich mit meiner 1983 er und bald auch meiner 1960er hercules durch die Gegend und höre solche Musik. :)
@@davidforster8864 Freut mich, wieder jemand Junges an Bord zu haben.
Ernst gemeinter Ratschlag: Bevor du dir so einen Wagen kaufst, sieh zu, dass du mindestens den Wagenwert nochmal auf dem Konto hast, einfach um auf der sicheren Seite zu sein.
Ich hab in den letzten 3 Jahren 9000€ an Ersatzteilen in den Wagen versenkt - Öl, Sprit, Steuern und Versicherung kommt noch obendrauf
@@AstraWerke Vielen Dank, werde ich machen👍 Hast du außer TH-cam eigentlich noch social Media?
@@davidforster8864Nope
Tim sein taunus ist sogar ein Ts richtig selten
the fluff looks like it would be wear in from the crank shaft bearings. Hopefully thats the last you will see of that.
Hopes are high, Fingers are crossed!
Schön, daß sich jemand mit solche alten Wagen befasst. Ist das Getriebe unsynchronisiert,wenn man fragen darf?
Schönen Gruß!
Jepp, isses :)
@@AstraWerke Danke für die Antwort! Mich hat es zudem erstaunt, wieviel Mühe man sich in den USA mit Nachfertigungen gibt: Ich kenne kein anderes Auto ausser dem Ford-A-Modell, wo man per Nachfertigung einen fünffach gelagerten Vierzylinder (anstatt drei Lagern wie im Original) anbietet. Das zeigt, wie sehr man an der Sache interessiert ist.
@@j.1294 Ich denke, das geht hauptsächlich auf die Hot-Rod-Szene zurück, die gerne einen 100-PS-Motor drin hätte, der das auch für mehr als eine Viertelmeile aushält
Kurzweiliges und lustiges Video, danke! Wo finest Du diese Pommade- Gestalten blos immer? 😂
xD
Welches Baujahr ist dein Auto 😉

Die Menge Abrieb ist normal, bei meinem ford b Motor hab ich das Einlauf nach ca 50km getauscht....das war komplett grausilber.
Die zweite ölfüllung sieht nach 250 meilen noch relativ sauber aus. Ich fahre ohne Filter.
Ich würde das bei dir als normal ansehen.
Ich denke die zweite ölfüllung bei hat die meiste Aussagekraft, denn eigentlich sind kolbenringe nach 100-200 km eingelaufen.
Heute gibt es auch Betriebe die nach dem hohen mit einer Kunststoff Bürste nachholen, damit umgeht man das einfahren komplett... gut gebaute Motoren sind nach 1 Betriebsstunden und 1. Ölwechsel vollgaßfest....

Can't afford another Engine failiure ;P
Was ist das blau liquid?

She did Really? Well, I'm proud of her! good job, buddy.
Sorry about the ? A slip of the finger.
Did you get much attention/appreciation from towns people as you journeyed?
The smaller the town, the bigger the reaction!
Q: what kind of attention do you get (or not) from people? as well as their comments? I have had a 1930 Coupe as a daily driver as well and find it interesting to see just who is interested and what their level of interest is.
What was the most striking to me is that everyone seems to love the car.
Old, young, Man, Woman - they all smile and wave. Definately not a car for incognito travels.
The only thing that can become slightly annoying over time is the ever-lasting
"Is that the famous Model T?" xD
Same as in USA. Is that a "T"? Not surprising as 4:1 T:A built.
VGG mal anders :)
das ist aber schon erheblicher abrieb...😲
Wearing protecting gloves is highly recommended. Chemicals, Oil and mechanical impact quickly penetrate the skin.

VGG intro ? versuch bitte nicht auch die jokes zu kopieren .
S.g. MavTheCrow
😱 Oh mein Gott. Ja, bitte bloß nicht! Natürlich ist alles reine Geschmackssache. Aber wie kommentierten letzthin einige amerikanische Zuschauer zu VGG jedoch: "Always the same. If you have seen one, you have seen all!". Nach ein paar Videos habe ich aufgehört mir diesen Typen anzuschauen. Wie so viele juhutjuuber ist er mit wachsendem Erfolg zusätzlich deutlich zu überheblich geworden. Er gibt u.A. auch einen Dreck auf die Umwelt und Verantwortung. Er ist außerdem nur auf noch mehr Views = Geld aus. Ich empfinde sein Verhalten auch nicht länger als joking around but as fooling around way too much. Genau wie bei Puddin's fab shop. Mittlerweile dort viiiiiel zu viel Geplapper, fooling around and talking about his merchandise anstatt dem Arbeiten an Vehikeln. Habe daher gestern beschlossen solche, meine Zeit verschwendenden, Videos nicht weiter/länger anzuschauen. Ich kann respektive erlaube mir hier aber zum Beispiel den Kanal No Nonsense Know How wärmstens zu empfehlen. Coldwarmotors, Strong's Garage und Johnathan W. selbstverständlich auch.
Viele Grüße, Glück und Gesundheit im Besonderen.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 Och, ich find ihn ganz lustig :)

Fand ich anfangs auch. Es hat sich allerdings schnell verbraucht (aus den bereits genannten und weiteren Gründen). Schauen sie vielleicht Mal bei den von mir empfohlenen Kanälen "Rhein". Die Hamm dort auch Spaß.
