1951 buick special straight 8 dynaflow

[@stephenandloriyoung5716]

This video came up just after I rewatched the one you ended saying, "The next time you see this engine, the head will be on." False advertising! Pretty funny, the way that worked out. I'm playing with a 1940 248 and a 1952 263, each in decrepit 1940 Specials which have sat since 1984 or 1985, ("Life intervened.") and gone through two or three floods up to the headlights. The hood over the 263 leaked, the valve cover rusted through near the oil fill cap, and the rockers rusted tightly to the shaft. With nothing to lose, I heated and hammered and got things moving, disassembled, cleaned and back in what I think/hope will be working order. The 248, never turned over in the 35 years I've had it, looked much better when I removed its (unperforated) valve cover. The rockers are all free on the shaft, and after removing them, I checked for stuck valves by bumping them with the side of my fist - they're all free. Go figure.

My 1941 Buick had a 248 cubic inch straight eight.

[@thenewmies7114]

[@stedydoch9911]

Thenewmies well because there is no good videos on 51 buicks on KZbin I would love to see just anything and everything you are working on. also some driving videos would be cool.

[@telleevans2918]

I'm with you on this one! I also have an 51 Buick Special that I'm working on too and would love to see more videos! There really aren't any on KZbin. Thenewmies ust anything you're working on/fixing would be awesome. :)

[@stedydoch9911]

T'Elle Evans nice, I'll be buying a 51 Buick Super in fall .
