Is this a Lincoln engine?

Ford FE 332 to I'm no sure but could be as high as 4i60. Bore and stroke main difference between most Edsel and Ford motors. Friend in 66 had an Edsel with a 410, that thing would haul xss, the good old days.

Loved the way your dog had a feed of its own arse while you were pulling the first valve

Hope you paint the 475 in the original colours. I believe that is the one thing that Edsel nailed.

the bearings are not hard the face of the bearing is a lead alloy . then copper and the out side is steel .

i feel alot of GM ideas in this one,"rams horns" exhaust manifolds,,"catherderal port" inlet ports etc,

Half left, not alright

The Edsel is so damn ugly, it's pretty.

Your dog is demonstrating how good your character must be. Dogs aren’t that loyal and content around people who are jerks.

Power steering was invented in 1926 so not that revolutionary in 1958.

I like this new series. I will say I'm getting tired videos that start off with "what's up guys..." It's just overdone lol.

Would have been nice if you had given a description of the engine ie: size hp etc. I have been building engines over 50 years and I have never seen an old cast iron engine “sleeved” as you said however you can sleeve pretty much any engine. To me it looks like the 410 Edsel engine. Keep going it could get interesting.

The Edsel was a total failure in its time.....

The car was named after his son

The 58 Edsel with the 430 Super Marauder was the first American production engine to make 400 HP. It was only made in that configuration for 58 and was detuned for 59.

Great job. For many years I did my own work ,on the cars and trucks My Wife and I owned. I miss those days and hate the new mess they have made of them. I liked and subscribed to your channel.

Woah! 3 months??? If it was more than 3 days, there was war with the machine shop, back in my day. How things have changed! Are there really that many people rebuilding motors nowadays, that they are so backed up? I expected it to be the opposite, with modern engines going to 250-300 thousand miles without a rebuild. Back in my day, a typical engine would need a full rebuild any time between 70,000 and 100,000 miles and when we dropped a head off, there would be several similar ones finished and awaiting collection, often with associated bottom ends alongside them. I’m retired from all that nowadays, because my life moved on and I diversified, but I still take an interest and keep my hand in, when I can. It’s been over 20 years since I rebuilt an engine, though. I wonder whether I’ll ever do another… If it means months of hanging about, probably not. At my age time is too precious.

Our machine shop didn’t like to be handed a bag of bits, like that. They charged extra, to discourage it. Not sure why, but I suppose if they’re handed a complete assembly, at least they know everything came in the door and didn’t get lost in the workshop. Made life easier for us, because we only stripped valves if we were replacing one, or lapping them in as part of a head gasket job. For sleeving or reseating, or unleaded inserts, the machine shop did all that and put it back together too.

I never tore down a V8 with the intention of getting it running again, but I’ve done a few straight 4s and 6es in my time. I used to work on the floor, as a teenager, but graduated to a sturdy bench in my 20s. Watching you flip that monster, single handed, I’m regretting my oft repeated decision not to buy an engine stand and spend the money on something more important. Vs are much more awkward than straights and also more prone to leaks, particularly in the valley, so I think I dodged a bullet, only ever playing with scrap ones. I used to dread them coming in for routine servicing, because they had a much higher risk of callbacks. There was also always one plug that didn’t want to come out and it was invariably the one that had the trickiest access. Manufacturers book time was always hopelessly optimistic, too, which I suspect might have led to my colleagues cutting corners, trying to save time. I’m enjoying watching this rebuild. Given how unpopular the Edsel was, I’m glad one has made it to the point where someone is saving it.

Generator? Dynamo!

Doing a super job

For ease the cap and piston should be just bolted together

At this point maybe loosen the crank bolts

You are doing great at bagging everything but as for as push rods make sure they are not bent or plugged up

Gas powered engines most likely are not sleeved.

Need new valve seats them are bad

It would better to take the manifolds off the heads 😅

I think you got the pistons in the wrong order

We real mechanics put the caps and nuts back on the rods those pistons are unusable plan on buying new pistons find a good automotive machine shop

Sleeves whT planet are u from its a ford

When busting lose those mains, or any well torqued bolt, turn it so it's perpendicular to the ground... That way, you can use gravity and your body weight to 'help' with less muscle, or effort used... Also, it helps keep the engine stand stationary so you're not fighting that as well... Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness...!

If the crank is seised, then loosened the bolts to see if it will turn.

Well, generators Can Be Converted into alternators..! So There..!

I don’t think you mentioned one time what makes this motor rare.

Thanks

Cute doggie

Just like the car, why?

God bless u for saving this rare car! I love my Edsel . If u can keep it original you’re my hero !

Excellent, and I'm following your progress. You're very knowledgeable, experienced, and methodical. Great shop, too. Was enjoying a bedtime snack while watching, and then your dog licked its butt from about 29 minutes to 31 minutes into the video. Had to set the snack aside and scroll past that. TMI ;) But it's a beautiful lab!

Just a hint, if you had water in the motor, it would be at the bottom of the oil pan and come out first. You are good to go here. Well, you do still have a big job ahead of you.

I got to come in on the head bolts about cleaning them up and reusing them that's on the man that owns the car however I believe it will be a mistake to do so

The wood under the dash!!!! Are you joking??

That is not the hard layer. The bearing shell is the hard layer. The bearing surface is very soft!

The rods must be removed before the crank can be. Therefore, the sooner the pistons are broken free to move the better.

I am wondering which items of an engine are not physical?

Got you bought the car from. You knew the job was dangerous when ya took. Yep? This car could be like that Stephen King car. Christine. I'll name her Gerty. You got guts. 😅. Yep

31:02 Imagine if you had got the engine running? All that dirt would have scored up the cylinder or damaged the valves sealing.

Thanks for the tear-down! Everyone loves a good tear-down! "I do cars" made a channel out of it.

It is wonderful that this car was stored inside all these years out of the weather.

There was a light blue one I think it was, it was 3 on the tree. I remember these 2 guy's would go out on the avenue and get into races. The guy's said it was bait cause the other care thought it was an easy kill. Just the opposite. It had the 361/300 horse. It was the early engine which didn't idle smooth if you heard about those. It was actually stronger than the rating. Ford had recalled those automatic cars and changed the cams. Pretty neat for 58.
