Everything It Takes To Machine a 1968 Chrysler 440 V-8 Engine

[@MattLundquistVW]

So glad to see redline rebuilds back.

[@cinsc556]

Yes! I was beginning to wonder what might have gone wrong.

[@centurioncaio]

Yay!!!

Amen!

[@TopAnimeGuy]

Good to see Davin back

[@Hanzyscure]

Where was he ?

[@NERC-o4l]

This, in my opinion, is some of Hagerty's BEST content. Super happy to see Redline Rebuilds again !!😃

[@JM-qr3kt]

So good to see a young person so talented and taking great care and pride in their work. Good job Jon!

[@busterulmer7092]

Really enjoyed every second of this video. Great to see Davin back in front of the camera. The engine guy was very clear on the what, where and why of each step.

[@lozl]

The satisfaction from watching old parts become better than new it endless. It's so watchable! I love it.

[@MrSloika]

You're so lucky to have found a young guy who knows his stuff. Around where I live the old timers have retired, or died, and no has replaced them.

[@deziking]

I was going to say man. He is a gold mine. Guy has very good knowledge.

[@johnnyblue4799]

Not because young guys aren't interested, but because there's probably very little business in rebuilding engines.

[@maritimezhang]

He won’t have much of a future if the EV agenda goes into full force in the next decade. And if governments regulations start enforcing strict policies on internal combustion engines limitations. Well good luck. Government can do what ever they want. People like him will just have to eat it.

[@davebutler2776]

Great to see young guys doing this type of work.

[@RuralRoute3]

...SO nice to see a young man good at his job and proud of his work!!! Jon at Apex: you rock!

[@ametti000]

Huge amount of skilled work there. Not to be underestimated

[@Bence507]

Finally good content on Hagerty🙏 thats why I came here. Looking forward to watch the progress!

[@justpauls]

I agree, Davin's content is my only reason for watching Hagerty.

[@jimdrechsel3611]

As someone who spent most of my life as a machinist and building my own engines I really enjoyed seeing the types of machines and setups. I recently used two very experienced machine shops to build two engines. Both had years experience but not much with Chrysler engines and when I picked up the cylinder heads they had no clue as to how or why they should get the valve stems the same height. They both said there was no specifications for valve stem height and left them uneven. Seeing how that was achieved made me feel like I knew more than the builder producing Chevy and Ford race engines professionally. The only thing I didn’t see was align boring the mains. Great video and I’d love to see more when performing extra tricks for oil return, pumps and whatever! This will be a lost skill very soon it seems….

[@astaluegmisterios2409]

fantastic, Davin. you' re the best👍🏻👍🏻

[@ericbessett6782]

This is by far my favorite Hagerty's series. So glad to see it back!

[@nsbhagwat]

Thank you Hagerty for this Redline Rebuild episode. Such a wealth of knowledge with Davin, Jon and all involved in this series.

[@busterscrugs]

missed seeing these engine builds!

[@JustMike2791]

It's so nice seeing a pro do their thing. When one has the correct tools, one can literally move mountains.

[@MrBblhed]

Glad to see you back in the shop getting your work done.

[@slade9372]

This was the best episode of Redline Rebuilds in awhile! Seems like a great machine shop.

[@johnchambers12]

As a retired machinist after my 42nd year in the business, why are there no safety glasses? Love the content anyway! Good to see John has safety glasses.

[@Hoaxer51]

Probably likes to have his eye drilled, it only took me once! Lol

[@stooartbabay]

So happy you are working on this car again!!!

[@canusakommando9692]

The nut pull was poetry in motion. Great job on an iconic muscle car champ. Thanks very much.

[@Dharshanth.k]

Been following Hagerty for years now and each content is just as amazing as the previous ones!

[@CheesusSVT]

So true, they really are doing car stuff on another level. 🤠🙌

[@Dharshanth.k]

@@CheesusSVT yep! You are absolutely right!

[@poita_m7142]

Yeeeees!!! Redline rebuilds, great to see, this is what I came here to HAGERTY!!!!

[@darrinmcsorley7786]

Man,…..I thought Redline Rebuilds was never coming back! Sure am glad I was wrong.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Of all the jobs I've had in my life, my time working in an automotive machine shop was a real joy, even though I made less than $2 an hour. I particularly enjoyed fitting wrist pins to rods. I like this young man's approach to his work, especially how he cleans up after each step. Good shop for sure.

[@williamboehm1045]

I really enjoy this channel. It shows the reality of how much work goes into these projects, and the level of expertise and attention to detail required. No neck tattoos, silly diallogue, gratuitous chrome.

[@johnnyk617]

This man is a national treasure please continue these forever until I die at a ripe old age

[@bbrown5887]

Excellent episode. I have 3 of those 440’s out in my garage and one half built already. This and all the previous videos are definitely motivation to get back at it.

[@landonworrell4532]

OMG!! My favourite KZbin show is back! I thought hagerty had ditched it…

[@lowreedman]

A thing of beauty. Glad to see Davin back at it.

[@robertwest3093]

This was a fun episode! I could watch automotive machine work all day long. Hagertys has one of the best car channels on here!

[@dirtlump]

Fantastic ! Nice to see a REAL Machine Shop still doing it right resurrecting the classic Engines ! I still use my Storm 85B, Sunnen CK10 and CH100 as well.... Van Norman 777S4.... 10x50 Table Mill for 3D Fast Cut Head and V/Seat work and Turner Balancing.

[@2asupporter143]

I would trust that young man with my machine work needs. Great job!

[@gnelson3603]

Relative to other content on Hagerty, these are the most fun to watch. Davin is a master mechanic who finds some great machining shops to film in. The videographer does a fine job too. Looking forward to seeing this 440 rip around a track.

[@jimlangerie]

I love to see professionals doing their things. I could not do what you do, but I can appreciate what you do. Thank you.

[@jtdyalEngineer]

He's BACK!!!! I'm so happy 😊

[@edryan2926]

I've been waiting a long time to see this video come out. Keep up the great work Davin and we are anxious to see the race car come back to life!

[@CheesusSVT]

☺Dude, whoever is making the Hagerty videos. Umm we love you. ❤😄

[@ignaciomontano9183]

Been sooo long, glad my favorite series is back

[@lbh002]

I subscribe to Hagerty for this man. The other stuff you guys notify me of, meh. But Davin? He is gold. Redline!!!

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

Thanks Davin and John. Was cool to see the process. Redline Rebuilds Rules, preserving history.

[@craigm.9070]

Always a treat watching old iron brought back to life for another period of pavement pounding. 50+ years and when properly machined and assembled with quality parts...they are feared!

[@sparkplug0000]

The boyfriends my daughters drag home can’t even drive a straight shift. It restores my faith in the state of manhood these days to see this young machine shop guy who actually has some real knowledge and skills.

[@andoletube]

Don't worry, I'm sure they're having fun with your daughters the old fashioned manly way...

[@madmit2007]

Are you still living in the cave and hunt your supper in the woods? No? So, use the benefits of the civilization and shut up!

[@terryeustice5399]

I had always heard blueprinted and balanced. But have never seen this done on a video! Thanks for sharing ! 💯👊👍

[@taylorhulbert3953]

Apex does such a nice job with the machining. I’ve had the pleasure of helping another engine builder tune some engines on Apex’s dyno and it was such a fun experience.

[@hsnopesium]

I love how the young buck knows all the details. "put those in the freezer so they go in better." He's done this more than once. Love it.

[@justpauls]

Good to see you back on, your videos are the best of Hagerty.

[@bhumiriady]

It's always good to see a Hagerty video featuring Davin! Also, I'm looking forward to the development of this project.^^

[@motroman1]

Excellent example of how skilled professionals make a difference in automotive care.

[@skodbolle]

This is like therapy to watch, love every second!

[@scottimusgarrett15]

Thanks, everyone, for what looks like a great rebuild! Looking very forward to the future episodes! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

[@nicknackdaddyack]

So satisfying to watch and learn more!

[@Redmenace96]

This is really great content. Have wanted to see more details on an engine rebuild project, for years. These hosts are great communicators!

[@philipclark6841]

I was just thinking about this series earlier, wondering when we were gonna get our next build. I’m super glad to see y’all again!

[@douhacomcastnet]

Yesssssss!!! Davin’s back.

[@HappyHands.]

This engine rebuilding is a true tradesman skill . like a stone carver or a woodwright. There are those that do it, and then there are those that do it right.

[@carburist]

Great to see Davin back and great vid! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

[@commentaccount49]

Stock bore is 4.32" so 4.375" would be +.055" not +.030". They are at the near limit of what the block can go out to. Benefit of the doubt, I assume they sonic checked it for core shift in the water jackets, but didn't show it on camera.

[@АлександрПомочалкин]

Finally you are back, I really love your videos about the assembly of engines!!!!

[@josephreisinger33]

Great video sir. Reminds me of working in a motorcycle shop back in the late 80's when we were still boring cylinders for dirt bikes.

[@SergeiZhaldak]

Perfect video! Miss it long time. Thanks a lot!

[@jzb8380]

Ahh, good memories.. spent much of my youth rebuilding Chrysler big blocks

[@logancarter2134]

This and Barn Find Hunter are the two best of Hagerty's content .

[@scottallberry6713]

Recline rebuilds is the only content on Hagerty I watch

[@johndandrea8034]

This was an amazing video. Did not realize how much there is to machining an engine the RIGHT way.

[@ST-xx9rt]

I wonder, how many man hours is it to do an average job like this. No cameras, no extra conversation. Just a skilled machinist start to finish? I do wish I'd have paid more attention in machine shop instead of screwing around. Thank you for this!

[@braydun]

Excellent video. Don’t quite follow what he means at 23:05 minutes though. He talks about boring 30 over to 4.375. Factory bore is 4.32. Wouldn’t 30 over be 4.35?

[@aldneypalone]

It's a great moment. Tank you!!!!

[@Redmenace96]

I do watch a few of these car shows. Seeing a young machinist is pretty wild. All the car shows have geriatrics! God bless them, but seeing a young person is just cool.

[@handyguy4814]

Finally davin is back, after a very long waiting for the content, Nice 👍

[@techauthor324]

Always loved machine shop work. My apprenticeship instructors reckoned i had an instinct for milling and lathe stuff but earning a living took me down a different path.

[@carloskawasaki656]

Thank you for sharing,glad to see red line rebuilt , always a pleasure watch your video and i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍

[@corporalclegg914]

Thanks, RLR Team…your production & product is unmatched in the YT Car Culture World. I enjoy all of Davin & Crew’s productions & have missed the RLR series. I get that the boys may’ve burnt out by repetition & variety is the life spice, so it’s cool to see them hitting this 440 for the ole racer. I bet it‘ll go together & purr smoothly with all this Pro machining & prep work…unless the distributor is 180° out *wink Thanks Again, Dudes

[@bigaudioal]

Love that redline rebuilds are back!

[@curtcooper9447]

I really enjoy watching this process thank you 😊

[@Guardducks]

Been wondering about this car. In fact was thinking about it Friday. Thanks guys for getting back on this and not forgetting about it. 🤘🏼

[@isalmankhan1]

Finally we get to see a Redline Rebuilds episode😍

[@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx]

I Definitely Would Like to Watch The Complete Assembling Video of This Engine in Stop_Motion 😁😁

[@dougankrum3328]

.Nice video, but there around 8:00 I'd have liked to see a little explanation and demonstration about valve stem clearance....and that head machine cutter...I'd always thought a multi-tool cutter was better than the 1 or 2 piece flycutters... Hardened valve seats...I've got a 1946 Harley Knucklehead (iron heads)...they came with a hard-seat option....I've had the bike since1975..done a few valve jobs, and barely had to touch the seats...they are definitely some hard stuff....back in the day, a lot of Police and Highway patrol bought these bikes, the gas was so crappy they had a lot of trouble starting them to chase people, so they left them running...that's hard on the top end...so the HD factory offered the hard seats so the guys could let them sit running for long periods of time...

[@jasondk5127]

I'm so glad to see you Davin!!😊 I needed some good KZbin without the politics!☺️

[@DQHW]

Lets go! Redline rebuilds! It’s back!

[@DrFiero]

Sure glad you guys put tape over that brand marking so we didn't know they were ..... brand micrometers! :D

[@joswenazavedo577]

Wow! The precision, time and amount of machining that went into that 😮, it better last another 50 years

[@Axr24have]

😊. Looking forward to seeing that old race car on the track.

[@mateometalworks-lq9cu]

This guy is a master. Very impressive

[@dmitryaz123]

That's the good one!👍 Keep going! Davin+Redline Rebuild - that's where it all started for me here at Hagerty🙂

[@carbo2950]

Nice, really, really nice. No dust in the corners.

[@MichaelSlattery-sh8vl]

Concentricity is a must in most machining prosess!😎😉🧐

[@mattgraham1983]

I have been missing the redline rebuilds 👍cheers for update

[@rickyduncan2834]

Is Redline Rebuilds coming back. I miss the weekly videos that Dave was doing . I think it would be great to see some of the cars and trucks from WILL IT RUN come into the shop and restored for Hagerty to auction off. that would keep Dave busy and the fans happy!!!

[@Greg-lt2jp]

Thank you all for the educational content.

[@nomdeguerre7356]

Finally!.. sorry guys but I only Hagerty for the Redline rebuilds, good to see

[@Derf1313]

Nice to see quality machining, balancing is SO important, if ya want the R's, lol. Great explanations too! Thanx !

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

I wish I could take a block and heads into a machine shop and get them all done in a day!!

[@paulkuske1457]

Finally back in the shop, Davin on the road wasn’t as good of content Thanks for bringing this back!!!
