Don't ever stop making videos like these it's very informative and well put together 👏

[@Christopher.C123]

So pleased that you chose to rebuild the original engine rather than electric motor . In my opinion this was the correct way to go keeping it as original as possible.soon have a new name now ( old not so rusty ). 0 to 60 MPH ? probably need a calendar rather than a watch.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, me as well .. this is fun... greasy but fun

Internal oil screens (filters) made people "back yard mechanics" in the States. When I got my 48 Willys CJ-2A They had no oil filter on it, removed at some point, they just changed oil every 1000 miles or so. I did get the original filter and housing to install back in it. Nice job on "Rusty".

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, that is nice a 1948 willys

[@joblaan7068]

Glad that the crankshaft is back. Again your explanation is very good and also your video.. I look forward to your next video. Your are an excellent teatcher

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments

[@jinger9980]

Concering the Oil > As the engine has no proper oilfilter (like quite some engines from that era) you should use single grade oil. That might be the "special oil" mentioned. The main difference to multigrade oil is that single grade oil does not absorb the dirt. It rather transports the dirt to a assigned place eg. the oilpan. Thus, the oilpan has to be cleaned from time to time! Multigrade oil, as it absorbs the dirt, can be cleaned by floating through a filter as the particles will get stuck there. This is how I learned it...By the way - NICE WORK!!

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments and very informative

[@johnapel2856]

It's coming together nicely! Good video. And look at you, getting all fancy with graphics and such! They look good. I like the beard. Years ago, I had a handlebar mustache. My Dad looked at it, thought about it for a moment, and said, jokingly, "I like it. It hides part of your face.". Ha! Thanks! I enjoy the old house renovation videos, but I'm glad to see Old Rusty is back too. That's what originally brought me to your channel. Thanks!

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks a bunch!

Re-installing the crakshaft and the pistons with all the fresh oil around was always the most satisfying part when restoring my own two motors ... thats the part where you are rewarded for all the dirt, oil and rust from the steps before :)

[@cuddytom]

In the old days, non detergent oil allowed particulate to settle out in the bottom of the pan. Detergent oils of today keep the particulate in suspension when running so a better filter system was encouraged through engineering and fitment. Just my thought.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, that makes it clear

[@lieberfreialsgleich]

And if you change the oil every 1000mls, like in 1950, a filter isn‘t necessary.

Hello Steve Good work again. Canada moved to the metric system in the mid-1970s, gradually. But the imperial system is still alive around here. So on one the two, and our American neighbors on their system. The American gallon is smaller than the imperial gallon for example and myself when I take a wrench to tighten a nut often it is 1/2, 5/8 and rarely in millimeters. At school in the 70s I had to do the metric swicht in math, physics etc ... Attention au covid-19 take care

Eindelijk is de krukas terug. Ik ben net bezig met de restauratie van een Traction en ik volg nauwgezet zou instructies. Heb net de krukas gemonteerd en de oliepomp getest. Het verschil tussen jou motor en een Traction motor is dat de distributieketting aan de andere kant van de motor zit. Oja bij CAS verkopen ze kettingspanners, maar met een nieuwe ketting hoef je die eigenlijk niet te plaatsen. Ik hoop dat je de cilinderkop snel terug hebt. Ik zou hem laten opsturen met een pakjes dienst. Het is gewoonweg fantastisch hoe je alles uitlegt en toont. Doe zo verder.

Bedankt Fons, ja er zijn een paar verschillen tussen deTA motor en de U23 .. In principe dezelfde behave dat de TA achterwaards is gemonteerd vandaar de verschillen

[@D3Sshooter]

[@sjp52047]

It's coming together quite nicely. Having worked on the engineering and construction of many plants, Chemical plants and Refineries, I find it difficult to believe that the older oils were cleaner (purer) than the modern ones. But who knows, stranger things have happened. I can tell you that if the cars I had when I was a young working professional required the removal of the pan and the oil pickup/filter, I may not have found the time to do much proper maintenance. LOL! Regards, Solomon

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, indeed, some state that it has to see with multi grade or single grade.... it seems that single grade oil carries the impurities and deposits it in the carter, where as multi grade absorbs it . hence the need for a better filter... Not sure , but that could be the reason

[@ChileExpatFamily]

I watched the whole video. Wonderful explanation on how to do this. Thanks I learned a lot. Jim in Chile

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments Jim, wow the full video... that makes me happy. I always wonder what a good lenght is

[@ChileExpatFamily]

D3Sshooter normally I shoot for around 15 min or less. I sometimes have videos longer but rarely. Attention span is short and videos can be made that are shorter using the same footage but broken up. That way you keep the viewers attention and build interest in your next up and coming video. Thanks. Jim

[@weofnjieofing]

Great video! Extremely thoughtful and meticulous in your preparation! With regards to the internal oil filter, the key to maintaining these old engines was regular oil changes like every 25 hours or so. That's because of the low detergency and quality of the oil back in the day. The regular oil changes would flush the carbon build up from the engine and also prevent the poorer quality of oil from thickening and turning to sludge deposits. If the oil was changed regularly, I dare say that servicing that filter was not to be done on a regular basis given its porosity. Modern oils are designed with huge amounts of detergents to keep the engine internals clean and are of much higher quality able to resist turning to sludge whilst being thoroughly filtered to extend oil change intervals, reducing down time and costs associated with servicing.

Old Rusty is coming together nicely In NZ we changed to Decimal currency on 1967 and went full metric in 1972 every thing is metric today you just use metric or convert imperial to metric no real problem

Graham Peters. I am old school UK/Britain . I have machines that are imperial and some later ones in decimal. No real problem as you say , It's all just numbers is the way to look at it .the only time I have to think hard is looking for stock thats in the off cuts bins , I automatically know what 18 inches long is but 460mm needs the tape measure .

[@marlonmulder1973]

Hi Steve, greeds from Holland, I also enjoy your videos much. I have an H van and a DS myself for years. The H van engine is very much the same as the engine from Old Rusty, especially the block. Like some comments already mentioned, you need special engine oil so the dirt can sink to the bottom of the pan. Best is 20w50 for this engine in my opinion. Last winter I cleaned the pan after many years, because of engine oil leaks, and there was more then half a centimeter of dirt in the pan! The other thing I want to mention is that for the H van you need a special tool (caliber)to fit the timing chain housing around the crankshaft, to make sure that the shaft is centered in the housing. This to avoid a leaking seal in the future. Keep up the good work! Greeds Joris

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments Joris, Goed om weten . IK zal dan ook de juiste vullen. Maar dat zal nog even duren denk ik.. De H heeft dezelfde motor dacht ik. Ben wel eens benieuwd als de cilinderkop er zal zijn///

Plastigauge is just as accurate, if not more so, than the method you described to check bearing clearance. Regarding the engine oil used, Old Rusty would have a non detergent oil specified as non detergent oil does not have a cleaning action and the by products (read crap) produced by normal engine operation cling to the internals of the engine. The crap (well some of it anyway) does not therefore circulate and cause issues with contacting surfaces. That oil strainer you have will need regular maintenance to allow only rudimentary cleanliness internally. Dont know about where you are but non detergent oils are getting hard to get here.

Hi Steve, a pleasure as always to see the dedication you print on your videos visually and orally, thanks for that excellent work. I've been waiting for Old Rusty's heart ensemble for a long time. At this point two appreciations, 1. Do you consider that it is not necessary to perform a dynamic balance of the crankshaft counterweights ?, 2. The gasket of the camshaft gear cover should not have any silicone sealant ?, continue with that excellent job. The filter design is really a real problem, I would think to make a modification, but if you are very purist it can be as you are considering the maintenance problem. See you in the next video, stay safe.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments, 1. It was balanced at the machine shop. I had to take them off (counterweights) as its easier working and placed them in the exact place back 2. The camshaft is held in place and pushed lateral with the large oval plate. There are no seals for it , I could have put some sealant up.. will see if it needs to be when we dry run the motor ( in a few weeks)

nice job. Long time ago I did hear that word 'Hermétique' :-) My first car was a beetle, had that kind of oil sieve too. But at those times we changed oil at 5000 km. And engines did have low compression etc. Happy Easter. Waarschijnlijk is de scheermachinewinkel in lockdown :-) Ik vind dat een cilinderkop ophalen een essentiele verplaatsing is, daarvoor zou ik toch 250euro boete riskeren hehe

Currently a medical student, love your videos. I want to be like you ina few years i.e. restoring houses, building engines all round DIYer. Did you always do this?, how did you get started? where did you learn from?, thanks

Thanks for the comments Chris, As a young boy , i was intrigued by mechanics, building and electronics. I spend many days as a job student in those area's and stool and learned with my eyes the techniques and methods that the 'Old Pro's ' used. Later , when I was at the university, I had to pay for my own education, and hence week-end and holiday jobs...At the end, I became an electronics design engineer ( still am today, and working as such). Yet , the jobs I did as a young men, did inspire me to continue that work in my free time. Creating things... Good luck with your study, 7 years is a long time

Would it help to place some magnets in the oil filter, to catch iron particles in the oil?

[@D3Sshooter]

That is an option, but old style oil and regular changes are very helpfull
