MAYTAG 92 ENGINE RESTO (part 9)

[@blastem]

Thank you, RK for yet another chance for us toobs to look over your shoulder as you give this wonderful old engine the respect it deserves, bringing it back to life and making it look incredible with your attention to detail while you do it!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Greg!! We appreciate you hanging in there with us!!☺

[@99carnot]

Continuing to look great, especially the carb. Really good hint on the aluminum paint. Thanks for the shout-out - nice of you to do that. Have a good weekend!

[@805ROADKING]

You're welcome Bud!! You have a great holiday!!☺

[@waynecreech]

I really like the look of the aluminum paint ... That little maytag is going to look great!

[@scotty2307]

I agree. That paint looks really nice. It goes on easy as well.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Guys!!☺

[@aleblanc3547]

Pretty amazing that you can still find parts for those old engines. I'm glad to see there's a strong interest in keeping that bit of history around.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah there were millions of them made, so used parts like blocks, cylinders and bases are still plentiful and alotta the smaller stuff is reproduced!!☺

[@aussiedazvk4djh889]

It's comming along very nicely Roadking. 👍👍

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!!☺

[@boelwerkr]

When you said that the rustolium goes a long way. I remembered a joke my grandfather told me. A cutomer bought a really small can of this paint and then came back next day to buy a second one. The shopman asked why he need a second one. The customer said: I bought it to paint the wheel caps of my car. But a drop of paint fell on the table, so i painted the table, then a drop fell on the floor so i painted the floor. Then a drop fell on the driveway. Now i painted half of it and the can is empty.

[@TheMrShinagami]

I always wondered how you got the flywheels and plates to look so nice. Thanks for sharing the tip.

[@ben-jd8kk]

Looks good Roadking, looking forward to seeing it togeather and running.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@smallenginedude71]

i like the look of that rustoleum paint, it looks very neat too, and low maintenance

[@vscustomcreations452]

I love your videos, really enjoy watching you rebuild engines I've never seen before.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Sam!!☺

[@regsparkes6507]

This is going to look very smart when it's all done!

[@clauslundberg9224]

Really enjoying this series - Thanks Roadking. If you ever get the chance try out a soda blaster - it works really well on carbon and rust deposits without pitting the aluminum. Cleans up heads and piston tops really nice.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@skycarl]

Hehe RK,,, once again your experience is showing.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!!☺

[@b_mb4948]

A Maytag has been on my *"I NEED THIS ENGINE IN MY LIFE!!!"* list since I was about 5 (I'm 17 now), as well as an old Sacs rotary and Lister diesel, but there are NONE for sale in South Africa (apart for the odd Lister, but those are WAY out of my price range), everything on eBay is ridiculously expensive (and that's before you account for the astronomical shipping charges!), and I'm probably one of two people in the entire country that has a thing of old engines. So I'm pretty much screwed at the moment... Sure, I've managed to get a few Briggs engines, a Yanmar or two, a Jaguar XJ6 from the 80's, and a BMC B-series 4cyl from the 60's, but most of them aren't running at the moment, but there's just something about an old Maytag...

[@chrisbeamish6556]

Wow some one else the same age who's highly interested in a few motors. I like the old vw air cooled flat 4s I have a block for one just gotta get to building it.

[@BrucesShop]

Right on RK ZKstuff ships to Canada. That is rare. That gasket is brilliant. Today they just stick dissimilar metals together without anything now. Not even anti seize.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Zack is a good Dude!! Ya never know when Bruce might stumble on an Antique Engine eh!!☺

[@BrucesShop]

Yes I see a hit and miss engine in my future. Lots of old farms out he to find one.

[@vanedwards376]

First.... finally!....I've ordered parts from him before too...he's a great guy to do business with!!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! He's always treated me well!!☺

[@aserta]

That aluminium paint looks really nice on the plate. And you're right, a little bit goes a long way, besides, if you want to give it more depth, you can always add, but taking it off, ain't that easy. ;) I can already picture the engine with the paint scheme and i bet it will be a really nice show grade one.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah they look pretty good all painted with the decals on them!!☺

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

My favorite method for cleaning aluminum is to blast it with walnut shells. Crushed walnut shells are no where near as abrasive as crushed glass and leave a smooth surface. I use 50 psi so it doesn't remove any material and the aluminum ends up looking like new. Even the parts with that horrible white powdery crap some aluminum gets look great after a blast with the shells.

[@creamofcardstv]

It sounds like Zkstuff provides an efficient service. The flywheel etc look like brand new :)

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Mate!!☺

[@not2fast4u2c]

A hand painted original Roadking engine could become a collector item !!!..Looks good with the paint on it ..I really like the dark hunter green you used on the engine block

[@805ROADKING]

I should sign them bitches eh!!☺

[@mjmcomputers]

That looks really good, nice work!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

A lot of good information in this video.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@boblabs6078]

Anouther usefull tip before installing the flapper in the carburator is to take some 0000 lapping coumpound and put it on a mirror or piece of glass. You then slide the flat side of the flapper across the surface untill the surface of the flapper looks the same. That is about as perfect as you can get it.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

I love the brass accents against the colors and some really good progress today.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! The whole project has been going smoothly!!☺

[@wesbaker3098]

Hey man I really like what you're doing with these engines I've been watching you for awhile really looks great

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Bud!!☺

[@greghanlon2235]

Nice work.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@MalcOfLincoln]

Wonder what's happened with all those Maytags you restored a few years back. Never seem to hear about them any more eh Mate!!

[@805ROADKING]

I still see a few of them at the Shows once in a while!!☺

[@KowboyUSA]

The "lonely Maytag man " took 80 years, but finally he got a repair call.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! ☺

[@huck01955]

Looking good

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!!☺

[@Bruno2204]

Great work 805Roadking 😃

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Bruno!!☺

[@TonyFleetwood]

i got talked into buying one of those OSHA approved air gun ( blow gun ) deals, and i like how much air it moves, but when you are blowing off parts nothing beats a piece of 5/16 brake line attached to a button :) what good is the feeling of safety if you never felt danger?

[@805ROADKING]

I've had that blowgun for 45 years!!☺

[@peterbarlow8912]

Visited your channel but can’t find a video showing more of the Maytag. Interested because I have an old gas engine Maytag with a chain drive kick starter. I even have the galvanized oil mixing can with an intact paper Maytag label.

[@peterbarlow8912]

Googled Maytag 92 and found out in images that’s what I’ve got.

[@rogeroconnor5182]

i have been using the same guy for crankshaft sleeves on briggs,great to deal with and top notch. paint looks good to me...

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy, Zack is the Man!!☺

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

super great job King ! Thumbs up man...

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Mate!!☺

[@McNairboys]

Roadking you are awesome love the videos. I have a question off topic I would love a small hit and miss motor is there a Brandon should look for. I didn't even know they existed until a few years ago I'm from Utah and I haven't seen to many of them around here

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! For your first one I would stick with the more common ones like Hercules, Stover or Economy!! Parts are available for them and they are easy to work on and learn about!!☺

[@bills6093]

Very nice work and a great tip with the aluminum paint. "Nuffa dis" :-)

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Bud!!☺

[@twocvbloke]

You could probably make a parts washer with an old sink, a fuel pump off a car and some creative plumbing to re-circulate the cleaning fluids, could be a neat project for you when you're not playing with an engine or three... :P

[@805ROADKING]

I had a nice parts washer, it was about 2ft x 4ft x 1ft!! It took up too much room and I hardly used it so I gave it away!!☺

[@MrJp318]

You used the term " Dickin around". What is your definition of this phase?

[@furyiiiplate]

wasting time

[@ShirleySmith]

Great video, smashed that like button. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@ShirleySmith]

Your very welcome 😊

[@stevemccull9699]

I am working on a mod. 31 . Have it running for couple minutes. But it just fades out & quits! :-(

[@cigarcaptain]

neat tip

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@bobwhite3777]

I'll have to check this guy out☺️

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Zack is a good Dude!!☺

[@HockeyPlayoffRun]

I am still blown away that this was made by Maytag to run a clothes washing machine. Looking good though..

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@be1121]

Excellent video

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@campermike8879]

I think the paint looks great

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mike!!☺

[@ziggassedup]

Looks the part mate.

[@805ROADKING]

Hey Mate!! I sent you a PM, try to get back to me asap!! Thanks RK!!☺

[@advance9572]

Nice! At first I thought you would've just put a clear coat on it. But that turned out great bud. The 353695 ? It was made on a Monday. The guy had a hangover! Nice video buddy!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@HeatherRSmall]

My serial number is stamped the same way as yours. Mine is number 384305 Mine also dates to 1929.

[@hornhospital]

70 grit glass beads at 50 psi work well in a media blaster, too. Cleaning that flywheel, inside and out, would have taken no more than 15 minutes. For some examples of how raw aluminum can look after glass bead blasting go to airhornhospital dot com and click on the restoration project links. I've been restoring locomotive air horns for about 17 years.

[@keithw372]

to bad you don't have a glass bead blaster and it would have a satin finish.

[@krazy45cat]

That Silver Paint Is Sexy , Gerry

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! ☺

[@cyclemanncafe]

Road King - Izzat poison ivy behind ur recycling cans? Yikes!

[@805ROADKING]

I have alotta poison Ivy, but I don't think there is any there!!☺

[@Tjousk]

Heh, hardly anyone knows how to say my name (:

[@805ROADKING]

How do you pronounce it Mate!!☺

[@Tjousk]

Similar to joust, almost silent t at the start.
