If you’re enjoying the content, don’t forget to *hit the like button* on my video ❤. The block is at the shop now getting cleaned and inspected. They suspect the issue with water could have been a misalignment of the head gasket as that was not original to the car and is a common thing to mess up. So water could have easily made its way down. That still doesn’t explain leaves and twigs inside the oil pan 🤔.

[@jeremyburrie4814]

You did say it sat outside without the hood . That's where all the water and other dabree can from

Hi❤

[@ruazfast]

Hi Doris! Did you give away parts like tires? On this video did you pick someone to win? I need to know I guess. To see if it's a scam. If you can let me know.

[@dougaustintx]

Only way to get water in the tranny would be flood... or left in the rain with the dipstick out and the hood off.

[@markr478]

Ford tech here-- look at intake gaskets @ 2:25. Whoever installed intake gaskets screwed up big time. Look at water ports, complete mismatch. No wonder engine is full of coolant 🌊🌊

[@1001Hobbies]

Just a quick tip.... use that 4 inch long left over piece of 2x4 that everyone who has a garage has somewhere to put against the cylinder head and hit THAT with the hammer so that you are not beating the cast iron (brittle) of the head with the hammer head. THAT'S why guys keep those little pieces of wood forever. ;)

[@brianwayne3029]

Great catch! I cringed when I saw a mini sledge in her hand and not a dead blow hammer!

[@geraldscott4302]

All of these old school engines are not only super easy to work on, but 10 times more reliable than anything new when put together right. At 2:50 I can already see that this engine was not maintained very well. Everything is dirty and black, which means the oil was not changed nearly often enough. Since that is a flat tappet engine, I would save the lifters and cam if they are salvageable. Apparently nobody knows how to make new ones anymore. You can use a magnet to remove the lifters and keep them separated so that if you decide to use them they can all go back in the same holes they came out of. I would rotate the engine on the stand so the head you are trying to remove is pointing straight up. Less chance of it falling. Uh, that is not the proper tool for removing a harmonic balancer. Oh jeez, it's raining lifters. There is no way twigs and leaves could get into the crankcase unless the oil pan was left off with the engine outside. Water can get in through the carburetor if there is no air cleaner on it, run down through the intake manifold, through open valves, and seep past the rings and into the crankcase. But not twigs and leaves.

[@bbgcars]

YUUUP! I agree! i bought an old IROC Camaro with an blown 305 cheap and i ordered a cheap ass crate engine from summitt, (CRATE 400) then proceeded to order all the hop up parts, I got around 400HP out of it and drove the snot out of it for years and never skipped a beat! The TPI for the 305 worked well with the 400 All I had to do was order bigger injectors and a LARGE MOUTH intake and a K&N filter and I was golden! Those old engines are so reliable when built correctly!

[@josephschultz]

needs new cam and lifters unless she can figure out where each one came out of different wear on lifters and cam will tear itself up quicker if mismatched later

Great job! Am I detecting a Miami accent; what a cutie. Btw a dead blow mallot or brass hammer is best for striking parts without damaging them. The 302 being cast iron is more resilient than a modern aluminum block but damage may still occur. Just best to be safe with an engine that has limited parts availability.

[@dave5176]

[@donmunro144]

One word of advice. When removing parts, keep them in order since it can help when analyzing condition of components. Plus you never know what you may have to reuse. You're also using the wrong puller to remove the balancer. Surprised you didn't pull it apart.

[@woman.driven]

All accessories components were separated along with bolts. Anything that rotates was placed in a bin and dropped off at the shop that will do the testing. We’ll see what they come back with.

Doris, always a delight watching you indulge in grunge as you pursue your passion for your automobiles. Untold amazement that the parts & pieces of the ICE can be fitted & synced to produce an efficient operating assembly. Glad that you are trying to save the block & heads. Hope you receive good reports back on them. Poor Mustang was maltreated by its previous owners.

[@MJrocs1309]

Be sure to use Duracell batteries when you put it back together

[@RebelPMP]

Great tear down video. It would be a great benefit for many to research the differences between pushrod and overhead cam engines and see there benefits and weaknesses.

[@trumanbeal5668]

The "battery looking thing" are solid lifters.. The numbers that are hammered into the castings means that it was rebuilt at least once before. You may want to clean up a few of the pistons, and see if numbers like 40 or 60 are stamped into them, as that would indicate how much oversized that they are. The block may not be able to be bored out any thing further than where it is without the use of sleeves.. But, it is a great learning lesson to do this on an old school block, and since ford and dodge both position the distributors up front, it'll be easier to learn how to do initial timing, and then use a dial-back timing light to set your full timing. The water + leaves is likely the engine sitting without a carb on the manifold for quite some time, and at the very least one pretty massive storm happened during that time.

[@Hndle-RapselHonda]

I agree with you, using a gear puller to pull out a harmonic dampener is a real pian I have done it in the past but a dedicated harmonic dampener puller does work better.

[@markh.7650]

Yeah, I was going to mention that. I haven't turned wrenches in 30 years but I still have my "harbor freight" dedicated damper puller in my 40 year old craftsman tool chest that's mostly just decorating my garage. Watching her take off the water pump brought back nightmares of my timing chain repair on a '70 Torino's 302. I eventually switched to Chevy because the parts were just sooo much cheaper.

[@jeffreypitt1684]

Being an old Mechanic there is nothing that would have stopped you from starting it. Carburetor / Fuel system or Ignition was the issue. That is probably a good block. But a Coyote engine swap would be good also.

[@johnmilner7603]

6:20 Use a steering wheel puller on the balancer. 7:21 Those are camshaft lifters.

[@raymondlantz9278]

Don’t forget a “shaft saver” if you use a three claw puller to save your crank shaft threads…

[@JonStein-mu5eb]

Hydraulic lifters are what fell out of the block. When filled with oil those ride the cam and help open the valves.

[@gianwcs6077]

Agree, the old motors are easy to work on, also easy to get horsepower from, a lot comes down to cylinder head flow, it's a good start!

[@jamesgascoyne.7494]

Well no stuck lifters. But the block needs some work. Good job so far. I did chuckle at the batteries falling out. New name for lifters now. Nice too see you learn as you go. Good luck

[@johnh1001]

An excellent way to fully clean your cylinder block inside and out is to first fully disassemble . Then pop out all the old frost plugs . Then , send the bare block out to a shop that does "Ultra Sonic Cleaning" . This will remove all the old scale/rust from the cooling system and remove all the old oil that has congealed inside the lubrication system passageways . I really think that you'd really like the results ! Liked your video !

Great video, Doris. Those "battery" looking things are actually the hydraulic lifters for the camshaft. They're common in pushrod engines. I was surprised that I didn't see a blown head gasket. But, as you mentioned, the head gasket(s) may have been incorrectly installed. Best of luck on this rebuild. You know I'll be watching every episode.

[@chefmt1205]

After you take off the head bolts a hard rubber mallet works great to take off the heads

[@pamdunn8454]

good for you and great work on the engine - 1st off the little batteries are called "lifters" 2nd never use a three finger puller on a harmonic balancer "it has a rubber ring" between the inside and outside , and it can be damaged or knocked out of balance 3rd note: to use a washer on the end of the puller to keep it from going into the threaded bolt hole and causing damage or getting stuck , the puller is called a harmonic balancer puller and it will bolt to the balancer in the same holes that the pulley was bolted - it can still get stuck in the center bolt hole if your not careful

[@brianwayne3029]

Don't forget to have the crankshaft checked! You can rough check it with calipers and feel the journals. Look at the bearings. That's likely a rebuilt engine, so the crank journals could be undersized as well as the cylinders being bored oversize. Go ahead and put a new set of cam bearings in the block if you re-use it. Please have the block and the heads checked for cracks. Especially after hitting the heads with a hammer. Use a dead blow hammer to break the heads loose next time. Keep up the great videos!

For sure those battery things are lifters, what you will find out with the block & heads, on what you would put into that motor, a crate motor might be the best option, have it what size motor and what horsepower you want it.

[@johnclemans7802]

When rebuilding the engine, don't cheap out on the harmonic balancer. Run a Ford Racing balancer. They are SFI approved and machined for 3 or 4 bolt lower pulley. Probably uses a 28.2 oz balancer, if its an early block. All ARP bolts too.

[@tjohnson9051]

I never re=use stock pistons ever. It's nice that the lifters just fell out and were not rusted or varnished in. If you are using the block and heads, have them hot tanked and magnafluxed for cracks then see where you want to go with it from there. I have no idea how the leaves and pine needles got down in the pan, mice can't even do that.

[@woman.driven]

That’s the word.. magnafluxed. I couldn’t think of it when they said that is what they’ll do to test. They also mentioned they don’t think water made it past the oil pan as the rest of everything was oiled and looked good.

[@ChoppersModelworks]

These classic engines are indeed easy to work on. And even easier if one knows how and what tools to use and what parts to reuse! Still surprised after these many decades when people don't use a bolt in the crankshafts to push against when removing the harmonic balancers to prevent from damaging the crankshaft threads. And those cast-iron valve rockers will work up to an easy 6K rpms in race cars around the country as we did in our stock cars. At this rate i can see in 50 more years many of the standard classic car parts will be gone.

[@AveGuy1]

They make a smaller Milwaukee impact driver with the same torque. 2024 version.

[@aus-rider]

You can bore out that Windsor 40 tho Doris, so the block will be fine either way, I’d go that route and a competition cam, throw in a 600 Holley and a few other litre tricks and you have a bullet proof motor with a few extra horses from stock, just my thoughts.

[@woman.driven]

Sounds like a good plan. Wasn’t planning to keep it stock 😊

[@robertratliff6030]

Don't worry about throwing the lifters away, they are worn out. The heads can be re done alone with the crank and block. You needed to number the main caps because they need to go back in the right order. The rod should be ok also, the machine shop can freshen them up. A new cam should come with new lifters and keep a few push rods so you get the right length. On the subject of cam you want to get roller rocker, roller lifters and a roller cam. Then you can use any modern oil otherwise you will have to buy a high zinc oil to prevent cam failure. Good luck

[@NorthernChev]

[@sethshade3121]

It should just be a head gasket problem were it could have been over torqued or miss aligned that it could seal them right to keep the oil in it's passages, antifreeze in there's. But it missing a hood didn't do it any favors either. Unless the block is cracked or has been bored for the final time it's worth fixing especially if the engine matches the car for it's age.

When you take the block and heads,go ahead and take everything else.That way they can check the crank and rods to see if they are still good.From the way you described it,I would say it was left outside without the hood,and probably no air cleaner.That would explain how the twigs and leaves go in there.

Everything that will need to be bolted back on the block was taken to them along with bolts/nuts :). They won’t be reused, but they will use it for testing as you stated.

You don't get twigs and leaves in the crankcase by leaving the hood and air cleaner off. It was probably a blown head gasket putting water in the crank, then someone pulled it apart to try and fix it and left it open to get all the other crap in there.

Taking apart an engine is one thing but putting it back together is another.

[@Dannysoutherner]

I heard you mention water in the trans as well. The only ways water can get in the trans are to sink the car in a lake or the radiator trans cooler is leaking and high pressure water in radiator made its way into the trans cooler. If so, you will be building the trans as well. Have the radiator checked. Twigs and sticks sounds more like the car was sunk...I haven't listened to the whole video yet, 330 in the morning, maybe you touched on that point.

those battery looking things are lifters and fyi maybe next time drain the oil before you flip it and remove lifters before turning it over and if you ever decide to reuse a cam u better make note of the lifter locations because you cannot change locations of lifters the cam wears on them a certain way .but all in all u did a great job
