I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing your skills, there are not many people left that can do this. Please keep making and sharing videos. I am a 63 year old semi retired machinist. I own my own machine shop and have worked for myself for the last 17 years. I love old engines, and own one hit and miss with the Babbitt bearings, and just bought a 1925 Model-T coupe last fall. I fixed everything I could see was wrong with it, like the radiator, fuel tank, carburetor, coil boxes, and all the wiring. I also replaced the upholstery, because the original stunk so bad and squirrels had gotten to some of it. I am in Maine, and as soon as the weather warms up I will be taking her out for my first drive. It is supposed to run fine, and I did hear it run before I bought it. But if it makes weird noises, or doesn't run like it should, I will not hesitate to take the engine and transmission out next winter and go through it completely.

A Model T was the second car I learn how drive. My first car was a 1928 Model A and there was nothing I couldn't fix in it... Unlike today where the right to repair has been taken away from the people.

Thank you for the video. I have a couple of questions. At what temperature are you getting the block to before pouring? When doing the caps, is it the same temperature? The caps have to be tinned. If i have a failed pour on the caps. Do i need to redo the tin process? Thank you.
