Ford Model A 4-cylinder engine rebuild time-lapse | Redline Rebuilds - S3E4

Half the cylinders, half the work? If only! The flathead four-cylinder engine in our “Swap to Street” 1930 Ford Model A was leaking oil like crazy and wasn’t running particularly well, either. That made it a perfect subject for our popular Redline Rebuild time-lapse video series. What took us months of long days in the shop is distilled down to a high-paced video that captures EVERY part of the rebuild process.

[@sundstrom193]

@@Brian13356 if you’re talking about the big slotted rectangle on top of the exhaust manifold, I believe it was to assist in cooling, a heat sink of sorts. These motors didn’t have a water pump, they relied on hydrodynamics to circulate water through the engine, and I’m sure that wasn’t sufficient enough, so I believe that is just to aid in cooling the engine.

[@trexmidnite]

The intake/exhaust are coupled to keep the intake hot for better fuel air mix, the finned rectangular piece is to keep the exhaust not going seriously hot

[@BriscoMedia]

@@sundstrom193 You're actually quite wrong. These engines had a water pump that bolted to the head. The finned piece on the exhaust header is a dealer option. You ran that header with a special shroud, and could have a heater in these cars.

As a teenager in the 1960s, I lived in the Gemfields Central Highlands, Queensland, Australia, and met a man known as 'Old Bill.' Bill came to Sapphire in the early 1930s driving a Model A Ford-covered Ute. After working in nearby gold mines, he bought it near new, in Charters Towers. Soon after the purchase, it became clear that it used an unacceptable amount of oil (no 12-12 warranty back in the good old days). On stripping the engine down, he found there were no oil control rings on the pistons? Questioning the Ford agents in Charters Towers, he was told that oil control rings were an "Optional Extra." He had to send the pistons away for machining to fit the rings. Ted from down under.

henry ford would wish he had such a shop in the 30s.

[@bryanmartinez6600]

Not really, his way was of efficient production with the lowest cost possible. When their cars ended up in junkyards they would get them back inspect all of it and cut back on what was lasting longer than what people kept them for to lower Manufacturing cost.

[@foxytv1592]

@@bryanmartinez6600 I'm talking more in the context of total precision. And frankly it's more because of car design where the chassis of the vehicle is made from alternate materials instead of iron and steel which significantly decreases the need for excess metal which was earlier needed to strengthen the vehicle. No it was more in the model Ts design which had excess metal which was recycled. The difference I was talking about was how we can make almost 30 times more power from a 4 cyl of the same displacement just because of the quality of the tools and workforce.

Sometimes the bolts would just unscrew themselves and jump into his hand. That's some serious talent!

For those of you who are wondering, the first song is "Hyena" by Tigerblood Jewel, and the second one is "Rabbid", also by Tigerblood Jewel. I couldn't identify the last two songs, sorry.

Can’t paint any where inside the crank case get into the oil? Or is that not paint? I have heard horror stories of folks that painted the inside of oil pans.

На ГАЗ АА (полуторках) такой же мотор стоит. Привет из россии

[@alexkotov942]

Боюсь ошибиться, но больше на ГАЗ ММ похоже

[@alexkotov942]

Хотя в принципе это одно и тоже. Жаль наши сами не смогли такой простой движок придумать. Думаю он был бы лучше и ресурснее.

Near where i live there is an older lady who had a 1931 model A sitting in the corner of a field for a while. when i went to talk to her she said it was her husbands but he died and left no instructions on what to do with it. after looking at it i offered her $500 for it and she accepted the offer. The roof was caved in and pretty much everything needed to be rebuild or reupholstered. currently have the transmission being rebuild at a pro shop and the block is away at a machine shop. I can't wait until I can get her running again.

[@michaelfuller2153]

Fun to watch, guys! I had never seen poured babbit bearings done. Was it the "A" you had to back up a hill if the gas ran low? My Dad rode with his brother who was learning to drive...they backed over the spigot by the driveway & water came up through the floorboard. 😊

love the music you choose goes great with such a perfect art form

I think the first song is a remix of the song "Jackie Blue"

Videos involving engines like this only makes me wonder why we ever thought "more complicated is better." At times we all enjoy the related benefits of todays technology, but videos like this also make it clear that ignoring the "simple tech" of the past and relegating it to the shelf in favor of "advancement" isn't always wise.

[@EagleBeagle4886]

Tetraethyllead was a lead based gasoline additive used by older engines to reduce/prevent engine knock. As you can imagine this was not good for humans or the environment. "In the mid-20th century, scientists discovered TEL caused lead poisoning and was toxic to the human brain, especially in children.[5] The United States and many other countries began phasing out the use of TEL in automotive fuel in the 1970s." That is one example. As technology advances, it becomes more complicated. Many of us can start a camp fire on our own, no one can build a computer "on our own.". The OBD II system and catalytic system are other automotive examples of excellent advancements in automotive technology that have greatly benefited the United States.

Have to say, you are A+ at your craft. Really, really impressive work. So satisfying to see those old snarling beasts breathe new life! Excellent.

That exhaust manifold is less rusty then my 97 ranger’s thats not ok I blame Connecticut

[@JohnCiaccio]

Yes the only major part I think should have been replaced was the very clean but extremely rough looking exhaust manifold. Everything else looked incredible.

I have an old car, I would like to strengthen the engine in it, what parts should I replace? Please help, I need your information large piston, thick piston rods, large crankshaft is it enough to power the engine

[@pianofry1138]

That really depends on your budget and the engine.

[@ronaldtreitner1460]

beautiful work reminds me of when I was young we used to rebuild engines that looked that good when done, ready to drop into a nice car or showpiece like completion of an art piece. around here in w.v. nobody builds engines right, they get a sloppily restored car or one that was redone many years ago, then they yank the original engine because they don't know how to rebuild or work on one, then they slap in whatever they have around they can get to fit. their cars under the hood always look like a junkyard candidate.. one guy actually took the time to do a really nice job on a Mack truck, but when it came to under the hood he yanked everything and put a 327 in it, runs sure, looks rediculous and crappy, definitely. my advice if you live in this state and don't know how to rebuild an engine send it to a professional out of state to do the work especially for a show car, or high-performance work.

[@uptoolate2793]

Good advice no matter where you live. A lot of these guys are just lazy, thick and hand to mouth. They should never lay hands on anything vintage or historical.

[@asarand]

You make me wish I could apprentice with you guys for a year or two. I would learn so much. But I don't think the arthritis in my shoulders will allow it anyway. Great job, as usual. Looking forward to the next one. Any chance you found a '64 Fairlane 4-door with a 260 V8 automatic to rebuild? That was what I had when I was 22. Never got to finish what I wanted to do with that car. Watching you do a rebuild of one would be awesome.

[@brozbro]

Too bad you didn't dyno before and after.

[@Zerodghjj]

The internal combustion engine has changed greatly since its inception. But for the most part it's still the same.

[@pfl2655]

Question: how do you get the spare parts like pistons and rods though its a damn old engine? Is this a special producer?

[@thomasrodriguez7803]

The rebuild was bad-ass, especially with the attention to detail. But the stop animated motion was kick-ass, way too go guys. Hats off to y'all!
