Seeing tools in use older than many countries always makes me smile.

It's good to know that Hagerty gives so much back to the automotive enthusiast community, and Davin is a huge part of that. Glad to know the premiums I pay are put to such good use.

An it's great seeing them in a machine shop ,so some people can see what their process is,cause those shops are fewer as times go on..

Davin your Redline rebuilds are a work of art. This helps save a small part of automotive history for others to enjoy.

When you're looking at machine shops to do work for you theres 2 things that will tell you you're in the right place. 1 they've got more work then they know what to do with and 2 the place smells like iron and oil. Got them both you've found the right place.

I can't wait for the assembly video...the bolts just screw in themselves! :D

Man I love this series. Thanks again Hagerty

Love seeing all this old iron getting rebuilt! Sooo much cooler than just "ah, I'll just throw a 350 in it," & losing any wow-factor that a car has! Original motors give them rides at least 50% of their character!

Thanks for showing the machine shop and its processes. I've heard them for years, I like seeing the tools in action.

A really big thank you to Ben Woodworth. OMG this series without Ben turn like a normal engine show. Amazing angle camera who nobody thinking to catch and i know stop motion are very not easy to do i appreciate your patience Ben. I think the success of this series is the combination of Ben and Davin

I love this series, and it played a role in me switching to Hagerty for my 55 Chevy. Especially love 50's GM content!

Lots of very interesting tools in the engine shop. Mike

I was thinking the same thing, some really good content in this one.

Nice to see 2 builds at the same time! The Cadillac motor should run great and the Honda Trail 70 will be a fun bike to ride once it is back together.

The production on this show has come a long ways. Great job and keep it up.

I love this series too. Davin is amazing guy. he are really calm and very cool to watch. this guy try to save the maximum of oem parts. I builded alot of performance engine in my life but this series reveals for myself the passion for classic engine with intelligent performance

I have a 57 sedan Deville. Love watching all the parts get cleaned and renewed. Looking forward to more vids

Hi! I have a 58. Still on the road..lol.

Last restoration was a 1967 Honda dream CA77. All the parts were bagged and put in a dresser. That would make it a Bagger or a Dresser!

Old mopeds are fun! I used to ride a 1958 puch from austria, now i own a dutch 1969 stokvis wich used to be my grandfather's. Puts out about 0.5 hrsprs 👏🏻

Just a great update. Thanks so much for all your efforts. You are the best on U Tube

Hope you plan to drill a small hole at the end of the crack before you start welding , that would stop the crack from advancing any further.

There are only two practical ways to weld cast iron that I know of: 1) Oven welding. 2) Stitch welding. With oven welding the entire piece is heated nearly to the melting point of cast iron, the part is welded and then allowed to slowly cool. The other method involves 'stitching'. With the stitching method, a series of holes are drilled along the crack...yes, at the ends of the crack as well...the holes are tapped and steel pins are screwed into the holes. At this point a bead is laid down between the pins. When everything is cool, the weld is ground down and smoothed.

I've only seen the stitch pin repairs done, kind of interested to see how the repair will be done. The holes are drilled and tapped, they overlap by about a third of each pin, and then machined flat afterwards. Never saw welding over the pins. Can't wait to see this.

As always devin is such a great person and a blast to watch!!

Nice Shop....i had a trail 70 when I was a kid. Loved it

I LOVED the machining details here. Often on builds you don't get to see that detail.

Thank you! Really informative as always.

Great video! Again!

Awesome job as always.!!!

Davin, you remind so much of my own mechanic and close friend. About the same age, build and knowledge. Direct, honest, no frill talking. Norman learned hands on with his late Dad and through college. He became the carbs and injection systems specialist in the area - that's how I met him 35 years ago for a Toyota "unrepairable" carb by others Not with him ! Hold my beer attitude. Done.

The end was perfect 👌

Always watching from philippines♥️

Love the machine shop videos...

Great content as usual! I'm looking forward to see the Buick straight 8 rebuilds explained. I think that long form content where it's just a conversation talking about the whole build is the greatest content.

Great fun to see Thanks

Koooooooooool! gonna find a boring bar again . love this kinda work

Get a project to do! OK coach. Great video, thanks David.

This is awesome, I am jealous of all those nice tools too!

very interesting! Cheers from France

Very nice ..good job.. congratulations you and all for video.. from Greece with love

I love how everytime i find somthing weird i want to do (weld me jeep 258 manifold ) you guys are right their perfect timing to teach me how haha

That workshop is a dream.

Great photography !

your shop is amazing-

How....in...the...crap do you remember how everything goes back together with so many projects going? I know, as a mechanic, that you see everything in your head...but......SHEESH!

Hey, Davin! That is an Odd Waterpump, for sure. How's the Freezing? We're experiencing a Very Cold Week, here in Kansas City, Missouri! (So cold, my Hot Water Pipe Froze!!!) Yeah, -8F was all it could take. So, please "Strip It"! ;)

U R greate! Thanks for share knowledge!

That tumbler sure looks to be a whole lot safer and cleaner than the boilout tanks my old shop had back in the day. The caustic chemicals we used to use back then were terrible.

The burn a bead process is by far the best way of cleaning old iron. You just have to make sure you wash everything really well. It also helps to run a magnet through all the galleries and every hole you can get it into. It’s a fine balance, if there isn’t enough heat in the burner the old oil turns to sludge and the shot will hang up inside things. Also the magnaflux would’ve showed you the whole crack on the manifold.

great content

I cross my fingers on most of your videos but particularly this one. Things happen and you can never predict what. I always hope you have the best results. Old Cadillac parts and sketchy supply, cross your fingers!

I had a 1960 sedan deville with a 390 - remember changing that monster water pump - looked just like that - also had my first motorbike wreck, in front of my house (age 10) 1975 - on a Honda Trail

It's incredibly to me how clean those parts are when they come out if the tumbler.

Yes I need to get a project. I want an old classic so bad. Just missed a great deal on a 68 cougar, pretty sad. Love these videos btw, best thing on KZread

Look for an older pickup truck, or a 4 door sedan. I was watching roadkill garage last week, and they had a 1967 Chrysler station wagon that they paid 1800.00 for, rare car, good deal.

Still waiting for the time lapse video of the 2019 Hellephant crate engine 🤔😕🙁🧐

Nice work brother 👍👍👍

영상 스타일이 너무 멋지네요!

Egge Machine offers shaft rocker pumps. Along with fuel and oil pump kits.

Thankyou just another tip l just gained!👍

It would be a dream for me to work in this shop for a month or so!

Melling makes a camshaft for this engine, meaning the Cadillac.

Looking at the crack in the manifold, I have repaired many of these and the best method that I have found is spray welding with Nickel powder.

Good stuff

Interesting episode relative to the Cadillac

I only have one problem with the show, it ends to quickly.

I have always wondered if Davin is related to Mustie1. They do kind of look alike.

Nice work and dedication 👍

At 12:45 those manifolds look like they work similar to Flathead Fords where the 2 center jugs have siamese exhaust valves and share the center manifold outlet.

if i bought another project sure my wife would kill me. love the show keep it up

Hopefully the discovery of " Turbostratic Graphene " can be used in strengthening the steel parts and engine castings soon .

Super 👌

I was told many years ago that if you're going to reuse lifters, push rods, and rocker arms to always keep them together as a unit when you disassemble an engine because they have worn in together. I don't see any engine rebuilders doing that on KZread channels.

I worked at the plant that made those connecting rods and processed them.

Damn these guys are so good. 🧂🧂🧂

This is awesome, I'm into the details on how meticulous you got to be when bringing an old girl back to life!.

thot one success . I had broken motor home exh. manifold .MIG was recommended . matched and Vgrooved seems . preheat between 350 -500 , weld , rest and keep heat , just let each run "propagate" heat , grind resurface after long kooldown in fiberglass .... a year later , customer returned from Florida and stopped at my customer to give a thumbs up . burn out cast , even brazing won't work , but yours looks solid and be a fun project

my break WAS an end flange

I heard Cadillac blocks around this time period were heat treated. I would've bet money there were no cracks around those cylinders jackets before they're were magna-fluxed.

Super.

Somehow I figured cerakote would be an excellent finish for the side covers. Then you mentioned it shortly thereafter.

"You're doing an impeccable job sandblasting because I'm not doing it" ! So True!

4:40 - if I would have sand blaster, you would never get to use it - no matter what I would be the sandblaster guy! It is like most enjoyable part of the job. Although, once those laser cleaners becomes affordable I would be trilled to used one as well.

Vapor blast is the way to go on those covers

Have you ever tried spray welding on exhaust manifolds ? It works really good . Don't know what you are planning .

My projects are all the cars we drive around - lol (and they keep me fairly busy...)

WOW I was surprised you were able to find a new water pump. Where did you find one?

The rod big ends end up more football shaped than egg shaped, but pretty good explanation overall.

All good - thumbs up as always .... EXCEPT .... what was that on the ground around 10:15 when you were out? Oh ... oh yes .... now I remember .... s-s-s-snow :-( I spent 52 years in Northern Michigan ... now in Palm Springs, CA for the winter, but anxious for spring and to get back north, and to get all my Hagerty insured vehicles out once again!

When you rebuild an engine do you ever have parts left over? (Like I do!)

Usually the grind is still within the harden surface. For stock regrind profile, usually very little is removed.
