Imitation Is The Biggest Form Of Flattery - Long Lasting Engine Paint Job - Uncle Tony Inspired!

[@UncleTonysGarage]

Dude, that was surreal. It was like one of those experiences where you get snuffed and float up to the ceiling and watch yourself...only you're not dead, you're painting an engine. The painting is easy, but the smoking takes decades of constant practice.

[@solowkaver3592]

Bwaaaa Haaaaa haaaaaa ..... decades of constant practice! My next engine painting technique will also channel Uncle Tony - but without the smoke!

[@joeidaho5938]

That was just funny....lol.

[@dougstaner1220]

Now wait just on dag gone minute. "one of those experiences" ... I was wondering if his paint was rated for high heat applications. Oh, what is he smoking...er... um what are you smoking... love the show... rock n roll. ha ha

[@bjr2379]

Hahaha! What's next, a wiped out cam or spun bearing?

[@carlkilmer1349]

Take a stroller parts add punch holes in the block side of it all the way around the seal and then apply your cell kickassanime punch and punch holes in the block side and then put your Silicone in and then push your gasket in and the center punch holes will hold the silicone and make it stop leaking

[@JMassengill]

While you have the engine out and before you put the intake back on, fill it with oil and turn the oil pump with a drill and see if it leaks before you stuff it in the car. Good luck

[@MadScientistGarage]

The Tony impression had me rolling. Exact right amount of hacking. 👍

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha

[@drewfausett5388]

Dan's attire gets progressively more Canadian throughout this video. love it.

[@LazyAHoleRanch]

The pony tail flip and Uncle Dani are what slayed me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha

[@davidholmes5698]

You awsome car builder i love watching you every day i learned alot grom YOU Sir and im 63 years old

[@christopheralexander5612]

Patience is of your virtue and letting those seals sit is a damn good idea! Your attitude is awesome! Keep your wife more involved in this and that'll be great she needs to know you care because it's DD's and not just you! I'm just saying! Take care both of you!

[@Rob_Diamond]

Spot on Uncle Tony impression!!! 😂

[@strokermaverick]

Dan, the Uncle Tony bit, was hilarious! I actually, laughed out loud!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha thanks buddy

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

Man that came out nice!!!

[@maxrensberger9856]

Yep...perfect.Earl..no drips no runs no errors..as my buddy that had his body shop for 40 years...paint it..ship it..n I'm good with that..thanks

[@novaguy8419]

I just can’t believe you don’t have more subs. Come on everyone pass the word around. Go DD Speed shop. 😎😎👍👋

[@davidsmith687]

Dan!! That was great! UT is probably laughing his ass off😂! Loved the ponytail. Man that BB looks great in red. See yo on the next one.😎

[@pcbullets8726]

Hahaha, love the Uncle Tony impression! Great video!

[@travisthefixer3788]

Dan I enjoy watching you work man 👍👍👍🤘

[@clasicradiolover]

I never saw UTG, but I watched him after the impression. Well done

[@charleykeenan6171]

Ok so the impression of Uncle Tony, you really need to run a disclaimer.. I literally spit my coffee out when you lifted the coffee mug! Great video!!

[@Richard4616]

When you put the top main seal in be careful when you slide it in don’t shave any of the seal surface from the sharp edge of the block. Sometimes the seal comes with thin clear piece of plastic to use as a “ shoe horn “ to keep this from happening. Also put a thin coat RTV from the butting face of the seal across the bottom of the main cap to where the oil pan would meet. Had very good results doing this with that type of seal. Keep up the good work.

[@deadchewie]

Snow piled up on the INSIDE of the garage entry door.......gotta love Canada.

[@mikepantel6945]

Nice job channeling the gearhead monk, engine looks hot.

[@docfischer7291]

Block zen. It’s real. From the time you crack the engine open to the moment it’s sitting on the stand . I have built more engines for myself and sold them just because someone wanted them more than I did but yeah, good homage to Tony . But the hair flip, lol. It was like watching the Black Widow . Hahahaa

[@yobentley7274]

Like some Uncle Tony. Good job Dan.

[@ollieknox3983]

Love the UT impression. 🤣😂🤣

[@greasyhandsauto-shaunbutte9726]

I’ve never brushed a block either. I was intrigued by UT doing that. Nice job, as usual. Laughing my ass off at the impersonation.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yeah im hoping it'll work out.

[@ogt92fromthe1step9]

Uncle Danny just dying on the smoke 🤣👌

[@dadpetty7998]

Freaking hilarious! Awesome video, UTG!

[@garryhatchett775]

😂 OMG. You do an awesome UT impression.

[@pugliesesspeedshop]

Uncle Tony impersonation was SPOT ON!! Haha!! Putting the rear main seal in off center is key... Hope it works for ya brother!!

[@johnkranz4004]

Excellent job Danny great video

[@kalinagoedge2777]

That was a great live- stream motor pull last week. You and Danny have been doing a great job with all the DD Speed shop work.

[@robertmedsker5305]

Engine looks great . They ponytail kicker had me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@miker252]

I like your Carolina shade tree breaker bar.

[@jessehermosillo8116]

Like your commitment to your u tube even if your toes and fingers are frozen.like your videos,good job,! Jesse in cal,

[@johnkranz4004]

Nice job Danny

[@daneoneill2853]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Uncle Danny was priceless!!

[@mountainsgarage]

Two dabs of sealer where the rear main seal halves touch. Four dabs , one at each of the intersections of the oil pan gasket and the timing cover and rear cap. Never a leak.

[@OzMike]

I look away for one second and next thing I know UT is in Dan's garage painting an engine. What the... And then he lights a cigarette. oh... ha ha That's definitely Dan :D That was hilarious. Loved it.

[@WaybackTECH]

I channeled UTG and I took his advice on carb sizing and timing. Worked out great for me so I think the paint will work as well. I wish I knew these paints would be fine for engines years ago instead of buying into the "Engine Enamel" must do BS.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Oya. He know it all.

[@glennnickerson8325]

Orange hat, Orange bibs and Orange motor--maybe this episode should be sponsored by Sunkist! 😁

[@builtbybo22]

Looks pretty damn good!!

[@joeidaho5938]

Wow...didn't realize how large that motor was...until it's on a stand. I've seen the Chevy orange so many times, that it's nice to see a different colour. I painted my current Ford engine black with red on the timing cover, water pump and oil pan, red aluminum valve covers... and bare aluminum heads. Looks really nice. I like to create some contrast to get a nice looking engine. Painting isn't very hard at all, especially when planned beforehand.

[@DDSpeedShop]

Oya them big blocks are big haha

[@dwaynewilliams6334]

Awesome job, Dan! Keep up the good work!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

that was cool really enjoyed that one

[@christopheralexander5612]

Not the worst thing in the world to quit smoking !stay healthy

[@randyellis3116]

Looking good. Maybe change the freeze plugs while its out , since you live in the freeze zone climate.

[@adamhoule7100]

Smoking really Dan lol I quit back in 95 ! The motor looks amazing Dan good job

[@TheSaxon25]

That was hilarious uncle Danny 🇨🇦🚭

[@michaelguinn5736]

Afternoon Dan, the red looks ok, Be safe, God Bless!!

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

looks really good Uncle Dan

[@irvstephens1029]

Got the same drill brushes and scrub pads set they are 👍🏽 😎

[@red-doggracing5557]

I bold lots of Engine preparation is everything but uncle Tony did have a good idea

[@SchneiderClassics]

paint job looks great mate, great video glad you found that oil leak

[@randyham6172]

The phony tail looks great

[@Nova.1971]

Looks great Dan/Uncle Tony!!!!

[@cleasonleasure4832]

My mentor once taught me that if you’re doing something and you sit down and be relaxed the job will get done better.

[@brianhdueck3372]

Lol! Fantastic tribute to UTG! 5 stars on entertainment and the motor looks great too! Thanks UTG. Btw, the smoking could use a little work haha

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha I think ill pass on my smoking career

[@keithblevins3100]

POR15 mas a great engine paint, painted mine about 8 years ago and it still looks like it was just done.

[@bobpratt8224]

Oh yea I have done that always used a little permotex and no leaks! Glad too see you r finally given the nova some attention..owned a 72 true SS!

[@shanewright6958]

Looking good 👍👍🇨🇱

[@perotekku]

Don't want to spoil it for anybody, but the UTG skit at the end was the funniest shit.

[@paulbirkholz4927]

It looks even sicker w the new paint!

[@virtuestreams2616]

LMAO at your Uncle Tony impersonation-🤣😂🤣🤟🏻

[@cleasonleasure4832]

Redid my car trailer last fall. It’s on my channel. I ran it through the car wash and got all the loose rust off of it. Then I flapped wheeled all stuff that didn’t come off.Rolled down rust oleum primer let it bake two days in the Texas Sun. Then I topcoded it with rust oleum high-gloss and all the surfaces but the frame I used flat black on the frame. The Texas sun baked that stuff on!

[@joshuadille5005]

Hahah love utg keep jamming hot dog !! Outta all the channels you definitely jam the hardest!

[@Tim-57]

Hey Dan Great video and fun to watch😁 I watched UTG's video after yours and you "nailed it."....haha😉

[@DDSpeedShop]

Hahaha

[@ryand.8176]

Cool! Been a grip since I have seen a red block! Now, do the brake drums red like they used to back in the day!😁

[@DDSpeedShop]

Haha old school cool

[@chrisarmstrong3200]

you should put silicone at the 4 corners where the angle goes vertical on the oil pan gasket to block

[@ksokie63]

That was a good one, Dan 👍 you took that drag 👍 and then Uncle Tony quit smoking 🚬. But it always seems to me on the pan gasket to silicone the gasket where it meets the cap corners front and rear. But haven't used that one-piece gasket kit . Thanks for sharing and have a great evening 👋

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

I like the hunting gear at the beginning! First I thought you was hunting for vrabbits but nope you was hunting for oil leaks! Great uncle Tony tip and demo👍👍

[@DDSpeedShop]

Hahaha

[@rajcam80]

Good tips! I recently used a propane torch, to paint a 5.3L. Works great!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Nice! Glad to hear it.

[@jerryanderson8189]

Hey Dan, I've always put the main seals in dry, only using sealant on the ends of the 2 pc. seal after you clock it. Had good luck that way, tough to do with the crank in the block though. Good luck, love your channel!

[@DDSpeedShop]

Yeah I dunno why I'm having such trouble haha

[@armondoborjas4362]

Great show. 👍🏻😎 need a bag of brushes like that

[@bennyhelgeson401]

Hilarious spoof on UTG. Thanks

[@000nikko]

Looks killer Tony

[@russelljackson7034]

Right on

[@WhiteTrashMotorsports]

I dig the retro bug catcher.

[@johnrome2603]

That was cool I like uncle tony

[@AndyGeesGarage]

When you took the drag of that dart😂😂😂

[@yobentley7274]

"Uncle Danny". Nice...

[@94jimmy5]

Where is Dan? What have you done with him? LOL!!!!!!! Motor looks great!

[@timhanson6727]

Now that you are starting to amass metal forming tools you can make a pan that will fit that stand

[@jimoverschmidt8169]

Love it!

[@deanrayne7302]

I cracked up when you choked on that cigarette. Very funny.

[@thecommodoredecker]

Dan, sometimes if you dont use threadlock on the flywheel bolts, depending on if the holes go all the way through the crank, but ive seen on newer, smaller engimes, oil will leak by the threads of the flywheel bolts and make a mess. I found this out on a Toyota i was changing a transmission on and it kept washing the clutch with oil, even though i replaced all of the seals related, multiple times lol, oil got past the threads and slung around everywhere and oiled down the clutch.. just a thought good luck with er, LOVE THE TRI 5 STUFF BUT I LOVE THE NOVA MORE!

[@bwsgarage]

Your a chain smoker now! UTG is great 👍. Thanks for the lunch video buddy

[@UncleHanktheHack]

🤣🤣🤣the uncle tony bit killed me 🤣🤣😂🤣😂

[@rogan1967]

Awesome 👌

[@thman6453]

Very cool 👍 it would look awesome if you polish the intake and water pump

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Great stuff! I want a Big Block in my Nova! 🤘🔥

[@morgansword]

Not wanting to step on toes or offend, Dan that paint is the shit! Color wise and coverage phenomenal job and hope that you do more of them the same way... no cigs or coffee as it truly is not you at all. I do hope and do also think Tony would approve of the complements. I have seen tony with his hand rolled cigarettes and kinda wondered if some of the material in his choice of smoke wasn't a left handed lucky strike smoke. You are basically a clean cut kid so be yourself. That Nova has been in your own hands for a many year now. Hang onto or suffer with sellers remorse. I honestly believe that the Nova and the Malibu are both in ten more years be the 57 chevy of today. That car with correct body panels will hit the hundred thousand by about the five hundred mark and yours looking sweet... big block, not LS, could add maybe another quarter million. Can't do that with money in the bank!! You have worked hard and so has Dani to keep this channel honest and still make it grow. No reason for the two hundred thousand subscribers not be yours. I have noticed that with bad weather outside, channel growth should hit the one hundred thousand mark... and a silver play button for you kids to smile with!!! That should not offend you kids at all!! Good stuff Dan and you did damn good on the video... hard work shines through every time

[@tandjperformancesouthflorida]

gotta love them felpro 1 piece gaskets..lol

[@maxlacugnato442]

I been brush painting my motors with oil based paint for many years now. I usually have the paint in the shop anyways. works well. didn't know UT did it

[@stevecr8934]

Yep. When I need a simple answer. Uncle Tonys Garage has it. Way Old school just the way I like it. I used to paint Rustolium primer on the Inside of my blocks. Oil runs smooth back into the oil pan and the motor ends up sealed. $1 paint job. Who knew?

[@DDSpeedShop]

Hes always got an answer

[@joeidaho5938]

Will the Tremclad hold out with all the heat?? I tend to use the Tremclad high heat paint or engine paint for engine and engine parts....and exhaust parts. I love the red paint.

[@mrchrisrogers577]

Put sealant on four corners where block meets caps, then lay gasket down.

[@rickbandy3862]

I always put a small amount of sealant on the ends of the seal where it mates to other half.

[@RyanGlenn810]

Dawn.... You want that good Palmolive Oxy Clean. To me it seems to cut through grease better.

[@johnnyrkramerthemusicmovie3147]

dude it looks great

[@Zazu2You]

The new meaning to a "Pampered" Big-Block Chevy!! This is close to body work with a chainsaw!! Lol!! Cheers!!

[@darrelkinney9856]

Hey Dan I’ve done that before in car deal one side forward and other side backwards. Happens to all sometimes. The red paint looks good almost like Farmall tractor red .
