The T-Models and the A-Models had some of the best quality cast iron ever poured. Primitive? No! Early yes. T-Model blocks are still used in racing. Stick around and see how much “modern” stuff is working in a hundred years. Good Grief C. B. Properly tuned they run as well as anything ever made and are serviceable forever. Try that with a bunch of close tolerance turbo aluminum recyclables. One word to the wise, Ford. To go from the T-Model in 1908 when my Dad was one year old to the A-Model in 1927 this was some level of mechanicals for the masses. In 1940 my Dad was driving a straight eight Auburn with a spare on each fender. From horses to one hundred miles an hour in just a few years. AMAZING! This engine is a beautifully sculpted piece of history, nothing less.

These assembly videos, at normal pace with narration, are much better than the time-lapse videos.

Those old engines are so familiar yet so primitive at the same time, even compared to a simple old block like a VW flat 4. Fascinating to see how far they've developed.

It really is impressive, and the things we take for granted now, like bearing inserts, and pressurized bearings, and overhead cam/valves.

Great videos, very informative we all thank you. By the way a West L.A. old timer showed me how to cut down the casting around the lifters to make the adjustments accessible. Works a beaut.

You’ve succeeded at two kinds of videos. Long semi explaining how to do it. And the fast time lapse ones. Both are amazing

Nice to see how these "obsolete" engines still has a following passionate enough to make them perform better. I keep hearing "high compression heads" and see the balanced crankshaft (done in quite the old-school way). What kind of performance is expected from this build? What is the factory HP, and expected HP? It is going to a rat rod, and going for the inline 4 instead of a V8 is something you don't see everyday. Can't wait to see the final product and results.

Amazing that all this had to happen on the Ford assembly line. You do them proud!

Thanks for the great video. What a fantastic piece of engineering for an old motor. Can't wait to hear it run.

Thanks for posting, enjoyed the build and anxious to see it start up and run.

Good morning, looks like great machining on the block. The babbiting video was really good. Thanks and take care.

The shop I learned and grew up in was an original model A repair shop. There was wrenches and tools I didn't recognize but 100% remember the set of wrenches for adjusting valves on that engine. Later at an engine shop I watched as babet was poured for bearings. I recovered the babet from some old electric motors . I see you have the KUEREG OCTANE BOOSTER at your shop. They're great for bench racing. 😂

Love the behind the scenes stuff, the engine and it's old ways too, are awsome!

Totally loving this build....keep it coming.

Can wait to see the model A itself.....👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏.....Thanks for sharing 👌

So nice to see the old teck. Thanks

thumbs up for cleaning up before bringing in the car. Sounds like something i do every time i repair a vehicle.

We resolved the problem with lifter adjustment by machining the bosses down about .300 , made adjustment extremely easy . One of my customers had a performance cylinder head made by Dodge Brothers . When we installed the distributor my friend came by and set the timing , when we fired it up it turned over a couple of times and ran perfect . Can't wait to see the time lapse video !

I have thoroughly enjoyed my education in this engine, thank you

Never worked on one , I learned some here . ENJOYED !!

So clean,Looks great

Always a blast to watch!

Nice clean work area😀

My friend, You have committed one of the sins of a model novice! At what point did you INDICATE the fly wheel housing? Surprise surprise! Yes they must be indicated to within .006 TIR. Use a magnetic indicator on the back of the crankshaft (W/O the flywheel) and spin the crank while indicating the surface of the flywheel housing (Where the bell housing joins it) Also, you must put a .010 shim under the two top bolts. This is part of the adjusting process. I know you have not seen anything like this on any other engine before. But that's the way Henry made them 90 years ago. Good Luck! Terry

I always wondered how the assembly of the valve train worked on the old flat heads.

A major step may have been missed when installing the bellhousing: Were the shims behind the upper two bellhousing bolts reinstalled? I would think the video would have shown this, as it is another oddity of assembling a Model A engine.

@pappabob29

4 жыл бұрын

As I recall, are you not supposed to "dial in" the bell housing to the crank flange surface to ensure it's parallel ALL THE WAY AROUND for proper clutch alignment???

You can figure out the pitch of the lifter. Some super simple math based on the measured clearance versus actual and you have total number of adjustment degrees required. Youd get it perfect in two rounds of adjustment.

Love these videos.

Good work

Have you tried "Right Stuff" sealants yet? I will never use anything else again. I've NEVER had a failure, leak, or blow out (notorious China wall seals) using that stuff. Where did you learn to safety wire? I've only seen that done on race engines and aircraft. You seem to be pretty practiced in it :-) I've never ran it but people with much deeper pockets than me seem to LOVE Evan's non aqueous coolant. You'd never have to worry about that block, headbolts or radiator rotting ever again. From what I've heard it runs a little hotter but nothing dramatic.

Do yourself a favor pal with the snap rings in the Pistons once installed rotate him a full turn just to make sure they turn and blow it with air afterwards. With the valves I know you have weird set up there where you cannot hold the lifter, but to check the actual lash do it while rotating the engine multiple times you will always find a low spot if you do that, the valve is just closed scenario, it's not accurate. Check Lash and rotate at the exact same time. My two cents, cool video and Nice shop man

Parabéns o senhor é muito inteligente desde são paulo Brasil. Sou seu fã mestre.

The old timers would drill a hole through the lifter bore and lifter so they could stick a piece of heavy wire through the lifter to hold it still while adjusting.

Nice I can't afford rebuild I have to cross fingers with turning engine and hope for the best

Those are big beautiful pistons. What is the displacement?

did you soak the rope main bearing seal's in oil before putting the oil-pan on,

The teflon is not affected by the heat? There's no risk of they "melt" or other bad thing?

The pump only puts pressure to the center can journal. Several rebuilders add the pressure to the center main. The rest of the oil gets dumped into the valve cavity. Gravity and the oil dippers on the rods does the rest.

Did you apply Glyptal to the inside of the engine? The color inside the engine does look like Glyptal. 7:35 Did this engine originally use safety wire fasteners? I thought that safety wire was only used on custom engine builds and on aircraft engines.

It ;probably is Glyptol. and yes, Ford used safety wire in many places on Mod. A s. Another thing, If you should take one apart, you'll find the threads a little tighter than you're used to, DON"T TAP THEM OUT! Ford's hardware is fitted closer than modern hardware. This car was built precisely with rather tight tolerances. The tolerances on wood (Ash) were + or - .010. This is wood! It was NOT Cheap Junk!

So I hadn’t heard of that paint, but Google led me to Eastwood’s website. They claim it “seals uneven surfaces in engine castings to improve oil circulation.” I’m not sure I believe that. Oil will stick to any surface it gets on inside an engine. Good oil circulation would simply be a function of having enough oil and an adequate pump capacity. Wonder if the engines were painted inside from the factory?
