FORGOTTEN 34 Years! Will This V8 Buick LeSabre RUN and DRIVE? Part 1

[@Trains-With-Shane]

You've still got a timing issue of some kind. That's why it's stopping hard when it shutd off and kicking back when you try to start it. If they put a new timing set or chain on when it was out they could have messed up the cam timing, they could have put a worn out set back on it, distributor could be incorrectly installed, etc. If it were me i'd check for TDC physically on #1 and see what your valve timing looks like on it. And then pop that dizzy cover back off, see if you can rotate the crank by hand and notice if there is any delay or slop in the rotor movement.

[@SveaPluton]

I really enjoy the variation of vehicles on this channel, no trash talk of brands, just fixing old cars, love it 👍

[@pclayton5063]

@@Hobodeluxe960 Me too. backed off torque convertor bolt. Had it happen on my 74 Corvette. Looks like it might have a sticking valve (backfiring) so was hoping he would at least remove the valve covers and check the timing. I don't think I would have even attempted to start it without building the carb. They almost always need building from sitting.

[@davidmccoy1418]

[@tomrowe7534]

I have a 66 Skylark with the Wildcat 310 which is a 2 barrel 300 cube producing 310 lbs of torque. This was how Buick labeled the engines in the 60’s. My mom had a 65 Lesabre which had a Wildcat 355 which was a 300CI with a 4 barrel. Nailhead refers to the small diameter upright valves. The smaller valve design helped these engines produce good low end torque. This body style along with the 63-65 Riviera’s are 2 of my favorites. If you lower the ride height on either they almost look custom. GM design was awesome back then. Love program

[@FrethKindheart]

I had a 1967 Buick LeSabre with a 340 in it and a 2 speed power glide. Loved that car. I wish I still had it. One night after dark I was taking an s-curve in my home down and a car merged over into my rear quarter panel. I stopped, got out, looked at my car, which had a small scuff. His front end was smashed in. He didn't want to report it to insurance, so we both got back in our cars and drove off. I had a set of glass packs on my beast and sounded insane after they burned in. Very throaty, and you could hear it coming for miles.

[@kennethchapman9564]

Bringing these old classics back to life. I here for that. That head for a Ford straight six is a common problem with those motors. Virtually indestructible otherwise but the valve guides for some reason go bad on those heads and just cheaper to replace the head. I had terminal leave when I got out the navy and before I went to work for the power company and spent a couple of days changing out one for a shipmate of mine. The valve guides were causing oil to appear in the air cleaner. New head cured the problem.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

Might just be me, but I would've turned the engine by hand 1st. You might've felt the crank hit the pan, and the investigation would've been easier on the ears😁 Either way, I'm glad another Buick is not headed to the crusher for awhile longer.

[@DylanMcCoolVideo]

I did turn it over by hand, we just didn’t film it. That’s what determined me working on it for the video.

[@tonyfriend7413]

[@Pedroisanickname]

There are quite a few shortcomings associated with this will it run, but we won't mention them due to time constraints

[@BigIronTexas]

I think you're right about the engine being gone through which makes me think your carb backfires are the result of bad valve lash settings. pull those valve covers off, set the valve lash and after you rebuild that carb you may have a pretty nice running motor.

[@jeffebinger1218]

Great repair on the frame ,engine looks fresh internally, nice score.

[@tomspafford5368]

25 years ago I dropped a backyard-rebuilt Olds 455 into a 65 Cutlass. Engine ran great in the giant OLDS custom cruiser wagon it came out of, for the swap. I had a little trouble aligning the engine going on, and had to rejigger it a few times. When I started it to break in the cam, uh-oh, rod knock. Crawled underneath with the stethoscope and saw I dented the pan on the crossmember. A few hours later it was corrected and running like a champ, and I still have it today

[@paulcox2009]

Most likely it’s timing chain which explains almost all of the problems your having

[@bryand1204]

I agree I think it's off a tooth or so it just doesn't seem to run just right. And the abrupt stop when it shuts off and the backfire make me think it's off time.

[@thisguy2720]

Mine had the nylon teeth broken on it

[@richardbates2367]

That is true I've done that to a oldsmobile 307 by beating on it with a half functional qjet and it stretches the timing chain til it cracks up the nylon timing gear for the camshaft and it quits and takes forever to try to restart,I have also done that with a Buick 3.8 1985 oldsmobile cutlass supreme brougham salon 231 V6, I had just put a brand new cloyes timing chain and gear set in it and pre lubed the oil pump which on a Buick 231v6 is on the front cover of the engine.. and unfortunately I drove it down the road and stomped into the dual jet 2bbl and it acquired a oil leak on the Dr side of the front cover I had just resealed and let it sit up in about 75 degree weather for half a day anyways in less than a mile after it started leaking it acquired rod knock that was louder than the stretched timing chain I pulled it apart for and then wouldn't run faster than 30mph and didn't want to idle sucked since was a very solid southern car with 127k miles had a beautiful deluxe velour 60/40 bench seat front interior the supreme brougham salon pwr woodgrain trim door panels and the checkered pattern on the seats gold interior and the only bad part of the interior was the trim around the heater cigarette lighter and gm Delco am fm stereo no tape player..was broken around the top of the heater control panel..

[@richardbates2367]

And this is also why I have said I don't usually waste my time with the gm 77-88 Buick rwd 3.8 231 V6 engine I have had three fail after fixing them and then there was the one I had in highschool that I ended trading for the 74 chevy Cheyenne super c10 long bed 2wd southern truck with patched floors and new cab corners welded on, anyways I had a Dayton Ohio native since new metallic brown with cream yellow pinstripe 1983 Buick regal limited 117k mile very nice interior velour limited pillow top bench seat front interior and absolutely complete factory 15 inch steel Buick road five spoke mag wheels and whitewall tires,am fm stereo 8 track,it was factory manual window car was supposed to be a one owner old lady car, and I got it from a 76 yr old lady in 1993 and it would do really good posi burnouts but it knocked from the time I got the car and the oil pump had no oil pressure but you could not blow it up so I had bought bearings sets,mains,rods, gasket set and new melling oil pump and a good used 84 Buick regal limited 3.8 231 V6 crank that was in cleanable by Scotch Brite pad/Emory cloth lol and also a gm 4bbl intake m4mc non computer feedback qjet carb and distributor and then ended up trading for the truck oh and that car had a good th2004r overdrive transmission and very little rust but the passenger side mirror got pruned off the door and fender got dented by the mirror, and the back corner of the rear bumper on the right side was bent.

She was gold with a white hard top. I felt like we were someone special driving around in it. Unfortunately we were coming home from a family event when we were hit by a drunk driver and the car was totaled ( thankfully we didn't get hurt ).

Good job bro. I remember putting an oil pan knock in my Oldsmobile when the engine slipped off the jack and onto the frame. What I did was drill a hole in the pan,cranked a screw into the hole and put a slide hammer to it. Then I brazed it shut and filled it up with oil. Looking forward to part 2 of The Boneyard Buick.😁

[@thomaswermager1819]

Looking forward to part two. Good job on finding the knock. Can’t wait to see what it looks like cleaned out and up!

[@derbydriver]

A good reminder to never become discouraged and give up. A simple oil pan clearance issue may have been the entire reason this car sat for decades. I’ve seen that a lot, people abandoning projects because a simple issue seems like a big one, and they’re too discouraged to spend any more time on it. Reminds me of a Davidsfarm video back in the day (yes, I watched before we all learned about who he really was). He got a mint condition Lincoln LS for free because it had a dead cylinder and the owner’s mechanic couldn’t figure it out (must not have tried hard). In 5 minutes Dave found a worn-through plug wire, wrapped electrical tape around it and the car ran perfectly.

Hi Dylan, great find on the crankshaft weights smacking the oil pan. Make sure you add a ZINC additive to the engine oil ASAP. The camshaft won't last long without it!!

[@1HotRob]

What a great choice in a car and show… you have a plethora of issues and you nail them one by one. Remember this, when the carburetor coughs (yes it can use a rebuild) she’s telling you my timing is too low! Remember that coughing equals timing is too low, among those simultaneous issues.

If it's a nailhead it's a second gen which is 364,401or 425,the 300 was the newer style non-nailhead small block.The 300 was based on the aluminum 215 which was Buick's modern V8,but in iron instead of aluminum.

[@64lesabre455]

I think 64-67 lesabres all had the 4.9 litre (300) V8. Aluminum intake and heads. I shot a rod three the block on my 64 and put a 455 in it. Still a work in progress.

[@badboattail]

All Nailheads had the ignition at the rear of the engine, this is a 300 CI Buick small block.

[@andrewphillips9123]

Dylan. Forget the pickle fork. You need a ball joint separator. There's a company that make a good one called OTC. I've used at work for 10 years and haven't been able to break it yet. The part number is 6297. Its tough. It works on nearly everything. They also make a good pitman arm puller. That motor is quiet. Just stand back and look at the l e n g t h of the rear fender. Here's a short story for you. I bought an old VW beetle years ago. The owner said "its run a bearing and I'm sick of fixing it" so I bought it, towed it home with a friend. Tried starting it and it ran. No bearing noise and had oil pressure but it had a loud rumbling noise coming from the motor. It was roll of black insulation tape bouncing around in the fan.

[@danielulz1640]

In 1970, I bought a 1966 base Buick Special wagon in that same black over red color scheme. It had that 300 cid V8 and three on the tree. It performed great until the plastic timing gear broke, and then not so much!

[@mrb.5610]

Listening to an unknown engine noise - knock, whistle, whatever - with a length of hose in one ear is a pretty good way to find it. It's quite directional and you can get it easily into places you can't - or wouldn't want to - stick your head !

[@paulweigle6872]

Fantastic job figuring out the oil pan. Pull the valve covers and check the rockers. I will agree that someone freshened that engine. Sounds strong. Also, pull the distributor cap off and slowly rotate the engine forward and backward while watching the rotor. If it turns a bunch before the rotor moves, the timing chpain is trash, if not, then start over with the initial timing.

[@fixxerautomotive4917]

Only thing I can think of is go through the firing order and check the cap for carbon tracing. Great catch on the oil pan! They probably thought it was a failed overhaul.

[@jpalberthoward9]

You've really got yourself something here. Holy mackerel! This a grand and glorious land yacht. Just look at it, it's a 2 door, it's a hard top, it's got the fastback roof. This is not the weeniemobile, this is the cool one. I can't wait to see what she looks like washed, detailed, scrubbed up real good inside and out and some decent tires. I know you don't paint or upholster, but some tires that fill up the wheel wells, some black steel rims and dog dish caps would be a cheap and easy way to giver her a tough, kinda moonshiner/NASCAR sort of vibe. Get the little dents out and rub out what's left of the paint, and the cool factor would be off the chart. That is a splendid, magnificent beast of a car! I commend you on having such a great eye for spotting the good ones. Right on! Cheers and Hats off.

[@tommylord]

I seriously recommend doing a compression test while you wait for the carb kit. That backfire through the carb is highly suspicious of an intake valve hanging open or possibly even burned. You could check it with a bore scope for the latter. Engine runs fairly quiet but that doesn't rule out a problem with the valve train. Great to see the car being saved though. I'm curious if it is actually a black car from the factory. Could you please show the trim tag on the cowl in the next video?

A suggestion for the rear bumper: Cut off the left side as close to the damage as possible, or right next to the frame mount. Then cut the right hand side the same distance from the end. Then bolt it back on for a temporary 'mini bumper'.

[@TheFurriestOne]

I love that grill design! Gonna need to flush out the pan after all that grinding against it that happened! Also, that rear bumper is fixable, just needs a lot of torch and hammer/chain work! (never be perfect, though) That backfiring through the carb is either a hung valve or a valve-timing issue, I'd think. (could be totally wrong) Quite the awesome diamond-in-the-rough, a real steal! Gonna be a great car.

One of my favorite cars was a 56 Buick century. Unfortunately, it ended up with electrical issues that nobody could seem to fix. Broke my heart to get rid of it.

[@leonhart2452]

Those older GM cars were easy to hot wire. You need 3 wires a couple Inches long with a blade terminal on one end. Connect all three wires together oñthe other end. With the switch out of the dash, unplug the connector, look at the back of the switch. Each terminal is marked for what they do. Often B for battery, S for starter, I for ignition, A for accessories. Now using these marking plug one of the blades into the harness plug coresponding to B, one into where the I is. Now touch the third into the one for S, this should crank over the engine and start the car, once it starts, plug this third wire into the A. This powers everything that isnt on the ignition circuit. Like the radio. This hot wire method may work on Ford or Chysler products as well, never tried myself.

I remember pulling an oil pan on a 1967 ford custom 500 on a thanksgiving day in in the snow to replace an oil pump back in the late70s. I don't miss those days, but I was also young back then.

Funny, Mortske Repair did a four-door Buick LeSabre on his video released today. He ran into similar issues with the starter.
