A nice tour of the land of orange cones and barricades. Sounds like it's running pretty good now. Sounds like the truck just needed a laundry list of little things to make it " right".

Well I'm glad I'm part of the 3 😅. We both know it takes years and years of knowledge to even do any of this.

1st ! 😂

I had this same experience recently. Around 2015 I found a thread on a forum saying how wonderful por15 was. I got a quart and went to town on the front axle, suspension and frame of my 2000 f250. I’ll stick to spray paint from now on. Por15 trapped rust snd liquid under it until it started flaking and peeling off. I spent a week with a wire wheel and sanding discs to clean it all up

Many years ago i had a 396 swapped in a 71 Chevy truck. Pushrod wore a hole thru the rocker arm. Shot the pushrod thru the valve cover and put a dent in the hood

Ese juego se pude compensar con el ajuste del distribuidor ?

What a waste. Glad i never used it.

VPT FAB. I love the video man. I am doing a mustang 2 in my 61 falcon. This really helped me get plans in place. Its getting a chevy 250 inline my Gramps and i are building. Got a new Sub for sure.

Fluid film. Im 28. Took me about 10 years of shitty products to figure it out. FLUID FILM is what you wanna use.

That's the problem. No rust to start with. It will not stick to bare clean or painted steel. It peels. There is a chemical reaction to rusted parts so it sticks. That's what you will be told anyway 😂

the problem with any paint on coating is that they can only ever sit on top of the steel....once rust starts in even a small area it converts the steel to iron oxide which expands and lifts the coating allowing water to penetrate further along...it's a snowball effect.

Poor preparation and application is not the fault of the product. POR-15 and any other similar product doesn't cause rust, but your poor prep work will.

I get it in gallon pails cut it down with WD-40 and use the same sprayer. The temp of the day dictates if its liquid or solid. Usually spray it on the last hot days of summer. Use an old paintbrush to daub it in where i cant spray it. works really well.

00:12:12 This looks like the Toyota Tacoma frames!😂

I was wondering about that stuff, ive always used rustoleum gloss black in the quart or spray on , after wirewheel brushing the rust off and cleaning it. And that lasts a long time. Thank you for this info!

Man thats bad! HAve you heard anything from the POR15 guys?

Chassis saver is way better I knew to never use por 15, I always use chassis saver and fluid film

Spray wool wax it's a liquid undercoating I used for 7 years now. You got to spray it every year or two and you do not have to paint the frame

Never had any problems with por15 if you prep it right😐

The Wife and I just did this de rusting job on a 2000 F150 here in Southern Ontario Canada ,We used an air chisel , we dont own a lift but jacked it up the highest we could ,I then used a creeper while wearing coveralls and a full face motorcycle helmet , it worked great but very dusty , we then applied by brush a combination of no drip undercoating, chainsaw bar oil , and transmission fluid , that rear diff looks brutal

Can’t wait to see the 1 year update. EDIT: Repair Geek has a nice 5-6 yearly update on fluid film

I used it on a subframe restoration of a 98 civic and it held up beautifully but it held up terribly on the underneath of my brother’s gs300 so I guess its just luck🤷

This was my exact experience too. Never again. I peeled off what I can, and use fluid film every year now and also drive a winter beater during that messy/salty slush.

Respirator!!! The dust kills man!!

I spray with used motor oil in the rust belt do it every year my frames mint

I'm a fan of rust oleum n fluid film. However big question did you still consistently wash it

We never have issues with Por 15 here in Australia. Have it on a 1981 Falcon that we put on well over 10 years ago, and zero rust issues. But then, we dont dump salt everywhere

fluid film is a coating you put it every year but it works

Nice video, gonna try this on our new cars. Just welded a subframe of a 11 saab, had 3 2"in holes in 60k miles. But please get some proper ppe, gloves and respirators are cheaper than your body!

Fuck I've just spent ages refurbishing and painting my axels etc on my vw bus with por 15

what are the superior products instead of POR15 and other encapsulators

in Germany we have Rostegal now called Rottstocks Rostbindefarbe "Rostbondingpaint" stuff is amazing but i always put a wax film on top like fluid film, idk if you can get it in the US but its worth a shot!

Krown once a year.

I'm not sure why there's so much hype over por15. For the past 10 years or so I've been using a combination of an industrial type epoxy coating like they use on pipes and railing in mills and factories on the frames, and the past few years using fluid film in rockers, fenders, and doors. I'm glad you got to show what that crap actually does ! You try to tell people, but they still insist on using it 🙄

Your welcome for the salt. Also I did pro15 on my 90 that doesn’t see salt and it peeled right off

I think the best thing after applying that fluid film is to find some of the few remaining gravel roads and let the dust form the ultimate protective layer of filth.

Thats crazy. I believe Rust-Oleum,rusty metal primer applied to the frame without a top coat would have held up quite a bit better than that did. I don't have the answer but as proven that product is garbage.

As a cheaper alternative that actually works i recommend Rust-HOleum oil based enamel in satin black and then coat yearly with fluid film and it works great! Holds up well!!! I learned a long time ago that por15 sucks! Great video to really show people.

Aces bro! --Doozer

I hate roadsalt. I felt sick 15 min. in watching you do all that work. I use fluid film and reapply every year. I don't do inside doors and tailgate every year. I could taste this video watching you spray it on.

Always good to see people come back an re-visit products they have worked with in the past. Have you heard of other good results with the fluid film? Or any other reason you went with it? Hopefully the fluid film works better than the POR15, let us know in 7 years!

Maybe next time try the technique where you just coat the frame in a heavy thick oil. Like chainsaw chain oil. I’ve seen some videos on the process.

It’s been known on forums for years that POR15 is worse than nothing. The apologists will just insist you applied it wrong.

Very nice. I approve. I was just looking into doing this and thought I'd see if anyone else has done it. Lo & behold I find your video.

Balance gears aka "Grenade Gears" . From what i read and all the pics i saw of grenaded ones, id huck them too. (I have a 321 and 2 341's one is a rare 13fin industrial. ) I have heard others complain about not having them (grenade gears) but.. There IS another way to go! You then machine your crank and install a plate on it. Dont have the link handy atm, but could provide it if you want.. So far as i understand it, in basic terms, it was just weirdly balanced to begin with! It moves the ratio from something like 52 to 48 or.. I forget the numbers and not right up on the super tech part, but thats how i understood it, roughly. The ones i have..They are motors to go in machines that are almost rebuilt and i did research but not got that far yet as to do that and then run one.. "They" claim its the 🤔

Your character reminds me a lot of Derek from Vise Grip Garage

Like a wise man once said. "Get er done"

Is that a vF52 from a hatchback Subaru?

Another interesting walk down random-project lane. Thanks. It amazes me how much stuff you do with only a single hand while filming. For example, reconnecting and securing the distributor. Are you left-handed?

Been awhile since I rebuilt a K341 engine. Got one to do this winter, so I will have to be sure not to over bore the engine like you. I thought those clearances sounded large. Good recovery though. Where did you order your parts from? By the way, that flywheel stuff is part of Kohler's auto balance system.🤣😂🤣😂
