I can't help cringing every time a complete motor gets wheeled around with the carburetors wide open. Having worked on cars forever, one of the first things I was taught was that a carb should be covered so nothing could find it's way into the engine. Why take any chances on something so easily avoided.

Somebody was having fun

Driver over revved it.

Yep 100 % the old “shut up, hold my beer and watch this” routine

Thanks for making our education from your show fun Mark! Fan from beginning but my carrier dropped you about the time Covid hit and ive just found you on KZread! 🥳👍🥳👍🥳

The rod has only one bolt in it. Probably one of the nuts was not torqued, and run down with a speed handle. It got missed and 10 foot pounds held it together for a short while. The noise was the rod rattling as the nut came off, and the big end splayed, and spit out the bolt. Major Destruction showed up instantly. Just my thoughts having seen more than a few catastrophic failures in the shop.

Yep, as you put the final torque on the rod, you mark it (I write final torque and stretch down on the build sheet).

I’m 63. I live in Michigan. Years ago I went to a renowned engine builder in Livonia Michigan. They pulled out a car with a freshly built motor. They did a couple of carburetor adjustments then did some fast runs in the industrial park. I was like? The engine builder said if it’s going to break it will break now. With that being said I’ve had them build me an engine for my 1972 Gran Torino. What a monster that car was back in the early eighties with not one problem. It ran 10 sec in the quarter. A few cars later and my last hoorah in life is a 1957 Ford 300 Custom with 2100 hp and will be a sleeper street car. 2024

I just found this channel a week or so ago and so far it's been AWESOME. This is also the first time I've seen virtually ANYONE talk about the '66 Charger. It was the first "muscle" car I ever saw that made me go "wow". It was a '66 Hemi Charger (introduced the hemi engine from what I recall, I was young...), had been painted pearl white, and some innovative person had positioned spotlights at the front of the car facing to the back, and everywhere there was a shadow they painted the shadow blue. (Flares, door handles, everything) Car looked like it was going 100 mph standing still.

Obviously, the first thing you should do with a freshly rebuilt vintage engine is put your foot to the floor and leave it there. It's really good for the engine.

Mark sure is one of a kind he is funny

Rods dont make a window at 1000 rpm, worse it can do is lock up

It's so much fun to challenge the "operator" of the vehicle who was in it at the moment the engine mysteriously locked up, and get him to admit he was beating on it at that moment, despite all his previous assertions. The "I'm the asshole who did this" admission is a golden moment.

Just found your channel and love it - some of my favorite memories are of the only new car I ever bought - a 1970 charger with 383 magnum. I think that series chargers had the sexiest body lines. I have never had a car I loved as much.

usually is caused by a heavy foot and 8000 rpm! lol

Your attention to detail is superb. I build hot rods and classic cars in my third incarnation. We build cars, but we don't build factory exact replicas.

He is clearly Michael Scott IRL. If I didn't see it myself, I'd swear it was a joke. I watch more for him than the cars most of the time.

That was the driest hole I ever saw in an oil pan. It normally looks like a scene from Dexter !😱

I'd never cover up a beautifully painted roof with a worthless piece of vinyl.

Yeah, I know what you mean, it’s almost sacrilegious! And not what I would want to do. But these are being built to basically the perfect dream, that factory cars hoped that they would be.

I cant beleave he couldn't look at the gage. Hell my no that

40 years ago I was sitting at home and heard someone pull in my driveway. As I go to see who it is I find a young man in a Torino with a Blown up Newly Built 428 Cobra Jet. After further inspection the Mechanic did a Great job except he or his help put the Thermostat in backwards!

The Marlin is awesome. I have seen a few... They really are 68 Baracudas

@41:50 he was quoting a line delivered by Jack Nicholson from the movie A FEW GOOD MEN. I don't think the camera man understood. That was hilarious.

I think it’s hilarious how he revs and does burnouts on fresh rebuilds

They should make a show called really long dad jokes… Mark would make an awesome host. I’d watch that show haha

Factory paint marking on drive train was not done using acrylic paints that is shown in this episode.

You know your stuff. Amen.

Very nice cars and work also very funny 😅

Wonder if those reference books have assembly line marking info (and other details) on the non-performance models, like my slant six 69 Dart Custom?? (No, Im not crazy, its getting a resto instead of becoming a new Hemi street brawler because it turned out to be a V1H car...) Btw..."crank drop" is the new mic drop LOL

11:40 what’s up with the bronco outside the shop door…you got a ford guy curious now what a mark worman restored bronco would look like

Red line 7000, that is what that engine was turning, classic movie.

Did you have Nick's Garage build it? Leaking oil filter adapters and misplaced connecting rods are his trademarks. To go along with an annoying lack of power.

Mark said that was the worst damage he has seen in an engine. I had a 1974 road runner with a 318 which I blew up, the cylinder walls between 3 and 5 were completely gone the rods put a massive hole thru the pan, and the biggest piece of piston i found was a little bit bigger round than a 50 cent piece. When I first heard a rod starting to knock it still carried me about 7 miles back towards town. Stopped about a mile out of town. LOL just saying.

Ahh the ol' viewing port.

"Here comes Worman, he's so cool" What happened?

Thai-Tanic. Lol. Good one Mark

LOL It just made a noise. Wonder how long that burn out was?

The titanic 😂😂😂😂

Mark, your sense of humor is only surpassed by your knowledge of Mopars.

Wow just putting that stripe on them cars looks hard to do the one he put on that car looked very very to me then he had to take it off that's crazy

HERE YOU GO TWO MORE MARK, 24 HOUR GUACAMOLI RESTURANT AND A 24 HOUR CHINESE RESTURANT....GUAC AROUND THE CLOCK AND WOC AROUND THE CLOCK

i got a good question, im looking for a 1969 dodge polara 4 door mine had a 340 or 360 not sure it was a 2 barrow but i think they cam with a factory 383 4 barrow any like that

Sounds like someone downshifted incorrectly and over revved the engine and it blew up.

Looks better with a black stripe.

They should balance old school. With a bubble level.

"Seed of his loin" Modern Woman lol

Switch mark to decaffeinated and add a Xanax to his cup o Joe please !!!

Can’t this guy make his own coffee. Lazy

I Like the Biggest Boozer game show idea

So... Parts fail when you over stress the motor.... but they don't necessarily explode just then. Once a crack forms - it never gets smaller - it just gets bigger till one day, on your drive to church - kaboom. The actual failure happened earlier. And since the motor only has 67 miles on it...... Talk to the machine shop... Rod bolts all tight?

….a pantie dropper? Nah.

Definitely adopted. 😅

Chrysler-Plymouth dealerships had such difficulty selling the dodge daytonas that they had to discount them at a loss. Plymouth Superbirds were far more popular than the dodge daytonas that Chrysler sent to dealers 1935 Superbirds and only 503 dodge daytonas. Mark needs to stop his dodge worship.

8000 rpm….

Chinese parts.

Funny how, with his 30 years of experience, he still uses RTV to seal intake ports. RTV cannot seal fuel or any part in contact with fuel vapors. Bonehead beginner hack level skills showing.

Mebbe the shop fooked up? EDIT-- Mebbe the owner fucked up.

He must dye his hair every episode, not a good look.

I try so hard to like Mark but he grew up in a generation where being a prick was considered funny and if he was a shit head to you it was your fault.

answer is simple, new parts suck.

I enjoy the entire show but Mark's "BULLSHIT" and cornball jokes. Oh, and his dyed hair!

I've watched Graveyard Carz since the beginning. Enough Mark. I don't need to see your narcist bullshit over half of each episode, also filled with commercials! Get back to rebuilding MOPARS, without the/any theatrics.
