I love it when my favorite car KZbinrs get together!

[@Michael18751]

Great video. That original Satellite restoration is one of my most favorite series. This one sure is nostalgic!

What about THE VAN

[@awesometomxd]

Kevin has the legendary triple sponsor segment for this video and honestly i dont mind because they are well done and allow us to have this amazing free content

[@AlexTrain5249]

That’s AWESOME to see an old friend back and I’m excited to see what happens in the future.

[@Hypn1c]

You're genuinely an inspiration to me. I'm only 22 and have a very supportive family, they've helped me have my own little workshop where I work on cars of myself and friends, I've learned so many things about old vehicles, what to be weary of and how to work on them from you. Finding your channel was the best thing that has ever happened to me. You've inspired me to restore and love old cars. Thank you Kevin!

[@bighouse2115]

And we are lucky to have young ppl like yourself who want to care for classic cars of all kinds, fixing, replacing painting & customizing - it reminds we old guys of how great things were in the 1970s when we were young 🙂

[@JoE_Songs]

9:15 I admit I had already an emotional day, but I got teary eyed for a second, when Luke came by. so glad to see you 2 back together. love it. do stuff together! looking forward.

[@ExAppeal100]

I feel you man. It was definitely touching seeing how happy Kevin was lol. Just makes you admire the little things that much more when you don't get it often.

[@uncrustable9923]

where did Luke go?

[@OnePieceTractor]

I agree. I have laughed my ass off on those collaboration videos

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

That 318 went from mid to SPICY. Love to see Luke back. Y'all's chemistry is great.

[@spiralingout13]

I love you and Luke working together. So much knowledge and experience doing this oind of stuff. The technical know how is a large part of why i love your channel, as well as his. And Mook.. she is just a bundle of fun, and i love her quips and digs, it's also satisfying to see a woman getting down and dirty and making it work. Much love to you, thunderhead, dylan mccool, golden rust, the Junkyard Mook and Pole barn garage. He kills me, and gets it done on a budget that even I could afford. Cheers to you and yours in allmfuture endeavors.

[@markrawlins2685]

The dynamic duo living closer together. One can only imagine the adventures and shenanigans that will be taking place.

[@Chudhole]

I came to the channel when Luke was more around all the time. I am completely stoked he will be back!

[@mykola_konyk]

THIS, my friends, is one of only channels, where I'm happy to see sponsorships. It is incredibly cool and nice to see and realise that such a content and man getting stuff and money for things he loves so much. As well as me and everyone else on this channel. Kevin, you're a sweetheart. Keep doing and enjoying stuff you like

[@MeShowMechanics]

You can't call Dalton @polebarngarage AARP anymore. With his new haircut and shave he looks younger than Kevin now.

[@WillyG3234]

Lol I was gonna ask if he had lost weight 😂😂

[@thehemiolds455]

Thanks for pointing that out, i couldn't pinpoint.😂

[@CCRider5312]

I had a 71 Roadrunner it was Black and the engine was built by Maurice Petty and I never lost a street race with it. I Wish I had it back.

[@ebalmes]

I had a very good friend a couple years ago that bought a 71 satellite Sebring Plus when he was fifteen, and he built that car. Built 440, fully built suspension, it was beautiful. He said, one summer, he went through four sets of tires on the rear. Too much fun. He sold it. But I got to ride in it multiple times. Those are beautiful cars

[@justin_time]

Wow, that motor teardown was so cool to watch! I've been waiting to see something like that on this channel for quite a while, and now that you have a shop instead of a gravel driveway it seems like a much easier place to do it. Thanks for sharing that process with us!

[@calebmoody326]

I live about 15 minutes from the summit in Mcdonough GA and it is super nice and really convenient.

Now that you and Luke are near each other again. I think it's time for another weekend revival camping trip.

[@d-rockonguitar]

Camshaft install tip I was taught: Get a long piece of all-thread the same pitch as the cam sprocket bolt and use it like an extension to put the cam in, then just unscrew it.

[@JunkyardDigs]

Thats a good one! Another trick is to out the cam sproket on and use it like a handle, unlike I did 😂

[@bryco32]

Awesome using Pertronix! I used them for a drop in igniter ignition on a old amc v8 in 1995. Last year the inductor ring broke and I emailed them for a price on a replacement. They emailed me back and asked if I still lived at the same address that I sent my warranty card from all those years ago. I said yes and they literally set me a new inductor ring via priority mail for friggen FREE!! Damn near 30 years after the sale!!

[@farmerbrown3768]

Hey Kevin…..as a rule of thumb while you have that engine out of the chassis now would be an excellent time to replace ALL of the freeze plugs. Even back when those Mopars were just a few years old they would eat up freeze plugs!

[@JunkyardDigs]

May or may not have cover those in expoxy and said send it 👀

[@NoName5589]

Hey, close counts

[@TheOtherBill]

@@JunkyardDigs New plugs cost barely more than the epoxy and it would have been an excellent chance to clean out the inside of the water jacket. Would not be surprised if that block came from the factory with casting sand still in it, plus whatever mouse nest and rust was added later.

[@arashtorabi8852]

Am glad to see Kevin and Luke together again please do some work together

[@raymondrouse1699]

You probably been told already but with the restricted water pump port you should probably put head gaskets in it if for no reason other than to be sure you have no more restrictions in water jackets

[@NoWr2Run]

TOTALLY AGREE & A CHEAP VALVE RE LAPPING. GREAT TIME TO ALSO DO THE FRONT SUSPENSION ?

[@YaMoBeThereAbout]

On this episode of Half Assed Rebuilds - Kevin throws some free stuff at an engine and doesn't change the thermostat.

[@twinkie27271]

Great video Kevin! Mortske Repair sells Super Scrapers in his online store.

[@RiouInsuiko]

The clear paint is a good trick to help prevent all of the spotting you inevitably get with aluminum. I went ahead and painted mine the block color. Mimics a cast intake pretty well but I like the look of orange over the aluminum color. Like you said the trick is to just never have gas dripping down on the paint.

[@DScaglione.]

Excellent video taking the time to give tips and explaining etc.. Awesome to see Luke … and PBG! Only one missing was McCool😆 Sounds Badass! God Bless 😎

[@bryco32]

Awesome seeing Our buddy Luke hanging out for a bit! I totally look forward to seeing you guys collab again! Dalton and JD are really fun to watch as well!

[@jaychristensen4600]

Hey Kevin, I would like you to try a tip my father taught me from restoring antique tractors. Use oven cleaner for your engine degreaser before pressure washing. I usually buy a case for $12 at the dollar store. Just don’t put on anything plastic. I think you may be impressed. Great channel!

[@PiwiWiwiCampers]

Pretty cool to see Luke back, your previous colab's made the best viewing. Keen to see some more :)

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Nice to see the blow by is gone during the cam break in

[@lordtickles1478]

I am so happy he is back. Can't wait for the collaborations

[@LuchMobGarage]

i had a 73 satillite seabring plus with the 340 and a slap stick shifter and also had a 71 roadrunner with the 383 mag and a 4 speed . the thing i dug most on the roadrunner besides the cahones it had was the shaker hood , loved the old mopars

[@ctwolfgang433]

Genius. Two of ya working together and dropping a video on the same day. Not that you guys can do this all time, but great chemistry.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Love seeing Dalton ON the channel @Junkyard Digs @Pole Barn Garage

[@jstephenallington8431]

Kevin, you are the go-to-guru when it comes to engine bay gymnastics, I absolutely love your super chill, calm and logical explanations of what we the audience is watching, again, I would watch your videos even if all you were doing was rebuilding brakes over and again. I have to ask though, with all of the crap that was coming out of the radiator, why not just go and pull it out and have it rodded and cleaned , especially with the engine already out? It could have only helped your cause, and, well it doesn't cost THAT much. Great video as always, and I can't wait for the next one!

[@lexusou812]

Oven cleaner works great! Used to use it on tractors before getting them ready to paint and it's cheaper!

[@spiralingout13]

That was my granpas goto when henwas buying busted used cars and restoring them to safe drivable condition and selling them.

[@SynchroFPS]

also makes for a good refreshment on the job

[@WrightWayGarage]

This world needs a lot more of Kevin and Dalton in their lives. You two remind me of me and a few of my buddies in our 20's throwing wrenches at cars. Ohhh the good ole days.

[@tsmartin]

You have more self-control than I do. If I had gone so far as to have pulled that engine I couldn't have put it back without doing the rings ... bearings and gone through the valves. My OCDC would be killing me.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Impressive that the paint is a dark red compared to the Faded Orange it became overtime

[@Belznis]

New episode! And a great new project. This one actually looks so restorable. I wonder if he tried that weird glue stick method, although with that kind of rigidity I doubt it would work that well. Leave those footballs inside and you get sort of an airbag. And even if that football popped, you get a cool hat or you can make shoes out of them ha ha.

[@MrTdogg175]

Kevin get a dry ice blaster! They’re not terribly expensive and it’ll make cleaning engines and the undercarriage a breeze! It literally takes off all the grime and surface rust possible pretty damn quickly too!

[@kennethsonier1766]

I saw the video when you pick this car up and boy it came a long way. You and Dalton make a great comedy team. I buy quite a few parts from summit racing including a double timing set for a 360 I put in a 97 Dodge last Summer. Still running great. Keep up the great work Kevin 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@gregfielder1288]

Love a good video with pole barn garage!

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

great job on fixing up the Satellite!!! I always loved the "fuselage" styling of the 1971 models from Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge. Richard Petty used that body style I believe for two racing seasons. My Dad's Duster was the same color. I miss my Dad, spend as much time as you can with your Father.

[@nathanielmullins5038]

Dalton's way of doing things puts a smile on my face, just as much lol ... never heard of his channel until he was on JYD a few videos back, but now i am a regular viewer of his content

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Hell yes! Been looking forward to this!!

[@mrt7152]

My experience is with leaky valves with old engines that has been sitting for a while is most of the time of rusty valve seats. Which you can get ride off quite quickly by giving the valves a bit more valve clearance, and after it has run for 20 min you can go back to stock clearance or what is advised for the type of cam. Nice to see you guys having a lot of fun together!

Thunderhead and Pole Barn visiting 😊 This is good stuff. More of this please

[@fivezeroida34]

When removing the harmonic balancer instead of pushing against the crank bolt and washer, remove the washer and run the bolt in all the way. It will clear the balancer without the washer on and you can do one pull with the puller without having to pull the bolt out. You also are engaging all the threads so no chance of messing the threads up.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Wow that is one of the worst clogged Antifreeze engines I have seen

[@jonathanz4987]

As insnalely cool and exciting it is and would be for the original owner to get this car back, I weirdly feel like it would be so cool if he told Kevin to keep it and Kevin ended up dailying this thing. Also btw with winter tires these cars handle surprisingly well in winter. 😂😅 don't ask how I know.

[@chevymontmarlo]

[@nbi4220]

Awesome, these videos have me mesmerized! In the previous video I was wondering why you didn't work on the block first (the peripheral items are not likely to be show stoppers), but this video provided all the answers. I guess the secret is having a lot of experience with rebuilds/restorations which lets you size up the potential gotchas of a project like this. From the big coolant puddle in the previous video I speculated a broken water jacket, but fortunately not. A leaking freeze plug on a 318, imagine that! The color and luster brought to the surface by buffing and polishing is just astounding. Love that throaty engine roar near the end of the video - what a sweet sound! As a former 72 Challenger owner these videos really tug on my heart strings.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

[@deadclutch]

[@jacksonms212]

your dads taught you guys well .... these old school tricks are priceless

[@pomwimbuu]

Really looking forward to seeing you and Luke work together again.

[@russellnc]

Since you had the oil pan off I would of at least pulled the pickup screen off to see if what was left of the valve guide seals were in the screen, they restrict oil flow leading to low oil pressure issues. The worn exhaust valve guides will lead to blowback , it will start at high way speed getting progressively worse, that four barrel and cam did not help the situation as for extending the life of that engine, 318s are tough little engines and will give you a 400 thousand miles service life if they are properly maintained...wish I still had my 73 sattilite, it was a beautiful car.

[@BadradioWOT]

Kevin ,Mook and Luke........ AWESOME!!

[@VATION3RD-GEN-X-GARAGE]

Kevin you do know that bag that came on the camshaft is for Lube and installation purposes you put the Lube inside the bag so you don't get Lube on your hands when you install the cam, and whatever Lubes leftover in the bag you put it back in the bottle for the next installation.

[@greatheightsu]

Love when you completely pull the engine and make it pretty/functional again. Engine and the car looking great in blue + red.

[@toddthewodd]

It was great seeing you and Luke together again. Hope you two are able to collaborate again.

[@mmlamendola4227]

VERY cool to get the Summit sponsorship!

[@Ayeobe]

fun thing about the chrysler engines is we paint 'em all in one peice, after they're put together.. you can assemble it fully minus the carb, and just go at it.. then add fuel pump n accessories.. no need to worry about over spray that way, and from the factory the bottom of the pan was barely painted. Makes it real easy to be factory looking heh..

[@gerthholm1220]

Just a tip on the pertronix distrubuator... ensure more than enough grounding of engine, or the box will not last long.. tried it, after double grounding it has held 4 years an still working...

[@chrisoakey9841]

Use your C4 and your bulldozer to make a nice large collection pool for a dam. But I would add a large tank up next to your house fed by all of your gutters. Have a ram pump from the stream to pump up to the tank on the hill, then use the water coming down flow through the hydro electric system.

[@MayheM_72]

I still say you should drop a 360 in there, but keep it looking like this. Junkyard 360s are cheap and plentiful, and just the increase in displacement would make that thing fun!

[@victorrobison5069]

Kevin, that engine has been seriously overheated. The carbon-like crust is the result of a paraffin based oil, probably Pennzoil or Quaker state. The inside of the engine probably would clean up quickly if you shorted it a quart of oil and added a quart of ATF instead, at least for a couple of oil changes. As always, great video and excellent content. Thank you for stressing the importance of cam break-in for flat tappet cams.

The oil pressure is fine. My 318 idles that low aswell. Mopar says the 318 can safely idle as low as 6 psi and the oil sensor is adjusted to have the dash light come on at 4 psi.
