Old Rusty Engine rebuild part 1

[@timothynewkirk2654]

It's good to see the original motor of "Old Rusty" being put back in service! I'm sure you'll do a superior job Steve! ...Newk from Kentucky USA

Hi Timothy, Thanks for the comments... and I hope to get it running in a few weeks

Hello. This is Juan Barturen . Miami Springs, Fla, I am so glad you are back. I have been following you ever since you started Old Rusty, and I said, Oh my GOD, what is he going to do with that,, Hey You do awesome work, You are an inspiration for us guys doing what others said Oh my God.. I have a 1954 Chevrolet pick up, Work in progress, Thank you for sharing ,,

[@juanbarturen2726]

@@D3Sshooter Thank you for answering me. Yes I bought this truck over 25 years ago, I didn't have the experience, or the equipment to do what I am doing now. The truck started life as a 52 3/4 ton truck, I started dismantling it, I was convinced to trade 2 VW bodies for work on my truck body ( it was bad ).well the VWs were gone, and my truck was in worst shape than when I started, The guy replace it with a 54 wich is similar , but has a one piece windshield, then it sat in my garage for over 25 years,, I have the time, tools, and a lot more experience, OH I have you.. Its not original. But its coming along OK. I'm rambling, so I will stop now. Thank you..

This is not boring at all. in fact this is just the kind of videos we need with regards to engine repairs and mechanical works in general. Sure those cinematic videos with only exciting parts is pretty to watch but there’s nothing in them for us to learn. I was able to successfully adjust valve clearance on a Perkins 1000 series engine After watching your video on the Massey Ferguson. Keep making in-depth videos like this.

Because of the polished surface, the oil film doesnt "stick" very good. Rocket Arms surfaces shouldnt be polished either, becuz of the same problem.

[@tomwatkins4730]

Another interesting restoration. After you have finished 'Old Rusty' will never have to blush in embarrassment, cosmetically or mechanically. If the journals are machined a minimal amount, with new bearings it should be as good--or better--than it was new. Thank you. My Siberian Husky dog (3 years) was able to go off of the property and was killed by a car a few days ago. I am now looking for another canine friend. Many blessings to you and yours in the New Year.

[@keithbell6866]

Coming to this a little late but i thought I would let you know about a way to measure scratches and pitting if you don't have the proper tools on hand. When i was working on F404 GE400 turbines in CFB Cold Lake I had a similar issue with some pitting and scratches that I wasn't sure would make certain components (mostly blades) unserviceable or not because they were extremely hard to measure properly. What I did was to get some dental wax from our dental unit and used it to press into the pits and scratches (once it had been hand worked until very soft and warm). After it had cooled in place, I would peel it off the item and then I had no problem measuring the mini-mountains that were left as now the pits and scratches were all protruding.

[@yogilours722]

Hello, A video like this is sweet. You are well equipped, you are missing nothing. You will succeed in rebuilding it. For camshaft the tips seem more important to me than the rest. For the crankshaft a good workshop will refurbish it with a good balance, I like the motors without electronics or automaton which works well without all that, I have a massey fergusson 50 who is 60 years old and he is doing great and he is clearing snow of my yard etc etc Salutation et continuer !

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks, Indeed I am getting the cranckshaft re-grinded and polished and balanced. . Great to see that you have MF . I also use my MF 35 every week in the garden . I love old style engines although I am an electroncis engineer

[@anderst5248]

Great video and great work! You are lucky to have found oversize crankshaft bearings to that old engine.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks for the comments..., Indeed and that is because the engine is the same as the Traction Avant of which 300.000 cars were build.

[@derekgee4223]

Great video thanks for posting

[@453421abcdefg12345]

That looks really good! There is something very satisfying about bringing an engine back from a corroded hulk like that, you are very lucky the crankshaft was still standard size, and the camshaft looks to be in excellent condition now that you have cleaned it, the slight pitting will be a very good thing in as much as it will effect the followers very little, but will increase the lubricant retention ,there were some engine builder in the past that deliberately rusted the cylinder bores of racing engines as they found it retained oil and gave a greater wear resistance, a very good idea to get paint on that block quickly, and it looks very nice! Chris B.

[@D3Sshooter]

Thanks Chris, indeed I love to bring back things that are totally destroyed or left behind... the good thing is that with this old stuff there are many ways to rebuild it. Not like with modern things, that can't be fixed

[@jimzivny1554]

[@notajp]

Reminds me of the bearing shells in old Caterpillar tractor engines from the 40’s and 50’s. They had a lot of beef to them too.

Whole "front wheel area" was rusted and needed fixing, place where battery is in engine bay was also in bad condition. One of tension rods was broken and of course paint was needed.

[@453421abcdefg12345]

Blasted engines only fail because "professional" reconditioners fail to flush out oil ways and retention areas, they start out new being blasted, but too many people come up with this scare story, they usually heard it from a bloke in the pub whose second cousin had that problem!

[@D3Sshooter]

That is not an issue, you might have noticed that I used very fine garnet garnet 330, and that I have blocked of all oil galleries and machined area's.. Blasting was only on the outside of the block and the water galleries. Now that it is painted, I will flush the oil galleries once more and remove all possible grid if any. You will see that in another video... Going wild and blasting allover the engine including machined area's with grid like garnet is not a good idea and should not be done.

Because of the polished surface, the oil film doesnt "stick" very good. Rocket Arms surfaces shouldnt be polished either, becuz of the same problem.

Bullshit you dont want to have peaks on your surface material. aka you want to have a polished surface. oil film is only a thin layer between to surfaces rubbing agaisnt each other, Only pressure and flow matter. and of course how much load there is applied.

Thanks for the comment, i disagree polishing reduces the wear and tear. It allows for a very thin and smooth oil gliding film. Think about ski, try it with rough none waxed skies and polished wax skies.

Thanks for the comment, i agree

@@TheBlabla1996 You can believe what you want, but its not true. Car Manifactures have done this Test, may before you were born. You need a good surface finish but NEVER a polished one. And even further, if you want to improve your knowledge, ask SCHRICK in germany. They do NOT polish their Cams... there is a reason for it. So, dont talk if you dont know what you are talking about.

Skiers and Camshaft.. sorry but this is the baddest comparison i have ever heard.
