I recently purchased a 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe 4 door sedan known by its engineering code Model P-15. It’s engine needed everything and a machine shop would charge me easily $3,000 for all of the parts and machining. Enter: Facebook marketplace. I found a $200 dollar 1952 engine out of a Plymouth cranbrook for sale a few miles from home. The owner sent me a video of the engine rotating freely and I zoomed across town to get it. This video shows me reassembling this engine after tear down and the first startThis video is part two of a two part series.

I love all the internet “mechanics” who have never pulled a engine in their lives giving you crap. Great work considering what tools you have!

Thanks brother. Fuck um! Their comments and views make my video more popular on KZbin. I’m thankful for them

U may not be a mechanic. But u did it all right and I am a mechanic lol. I’ve seen a lot of hack jobs on here. But u my friend did excellent. 👍

Actually am really enjoying this series, finally just a simple and peaceful rebuild of an old engine, no performance parts. Just breathing some life back into the old girl. :)

[@partsandresto]

Thanks bud! It’s a pleasure! Welcome aboard!

[@chuckhaynes6458]

No matter how many times you do it the first start is priceless.

This is my second one. It’s magic

Thanks Jake! All the pros show off the top end stuff. I like to show how to do more with less

That hole to another dimension is everywhere, I have been lost a lot of nuts, washers and screws the same way...

[@davidgibson5756]

Congrats. It is amazing how sometimes walking away for a day, your brain solves the problem. Great basic rebuild!

[@duskintheforest584]

i did that same thing on an old '79 Pinto 2300cc. 180 degrees out of time.

[@korvtm]

Worked on a lot of those engines back in the day.always seemed like a darn good engine to me. One comment ,though, I always liked to use studs instead of the factory head bolts.Reason was that after many years of use,that head could warp a little,had to be machined flat or you had a leaker on your hands.Then sometime the head bolts would bottom out against the crud that would build up in the head bolt bores.We would clean out the bores,then install studs, then gaskets ,then head. We could then,if necessary use a flat washer,to insure we got the head tight against the block.Seeed to work out for us.

[@partsandresto]

Great point, thanks for sharing your experience!!

[@steveewart6474]

Fair effort for someone that's not a Mechanic! Well done mate!

[@fasttruckman]

Great work on the engine. Don't forget to add a zddp zinc additive to your oil. Old engines need zinc in their oil to protect the cam and sadly today's modern engine oils contain very little zinc.I use diesel engine oil 15w-40 in my 1984 chevrolet 305 to solve the lack of zinc problem with today's modern oils.

[@PE1JAS]

Chapeau! I am an EMT and was proud of the revision of my 2,2 liter Mercedes engine's cylinder head... This is a bigger job! I like these flat head engines. Well done, thanks for posting!

[@partsandresto]

My older brother in power wagons! Thank you sir. It’s not a bad job to do. Definitely doable with the engine in the frame, although much more of a pain in the butt to do on your back under the rig.

[@CoachAndrewV]

I am very impressed! I have 53 plymouth that I am thinking about rebuilding the engine. I have never rebuilt an engine before and this series gives me some hope!

[@davedavies6518]

Great job. A tip to help clean the piston ring groves is to take one of the old piston rings and break it. Use that broken piece as a scraper. The harden steel ring will snap with a hard sharp edge that is the right size for the grove. Keep up the great work.

[@johnathonkelp3587]

Love the feeler gauge

[@mikelafferty9506]

Great video. Can't wait to see it all painted up. Remember, red paint adds horsepower, black paint stops oil leaks!

You're doing things old school with common sense and not skimping . I get nervous seeing people with sandels on possibly getting injured. Some oils can fester a good wound. Good video !

Yep gonna be a great car and fun. Thinking I need to give my 53 Dodge some love now. Thanks for taking the time to make videos of your projects.

[@miken3709]

laughed my butt off, scraped knuckles, lost parts, incorrect tool use...mistakes - exactly how I operate (but with far less success!). great vid!

[@partsandresto]

Hahaha. Thanks mike. A lot of these youtube guys edit out the mistakes. eff that, that’s how we learn. Thanks again and welcome!

[@wymple09]

My 1st car was a 1948 Plymouth Special Deluxe 4 door, cost me $85.00. Rear doors are suicide. Blew it up & swapped in a motor out of a 52 Dodge. My 1st ever engine job. You did fine.

[@GammaZed.]

[@David_Walker16-3-51]

I picked up several tips here that I’m going to claim I knew all along. You are never too old to learn.

[@partsandresto]

Glad to hear it!!

[@megadeuz6148]

Never hurts to have a spare engine for parts. Never seen anyone use silicone on exhaust manifold gaskets.

[@partsandresto]

Yeah no clue what I’m soing

[@mattearnshaw5526]

I bet he loved every minute building that back up good old simple engineering at its best

[@StanislavDenisenko]

A lot of work has been done! But there are a couple of points .. I would not recommend hitting cast iron. For example, on the intake and exhaust manifolds, because they can simply burst. And it is also not worth smearing them with sealant. At the outlet, it will burn, and at the inlet, contact with gasoline will badly affect it. Before assembling the engine, everything had to be painted. Now it will be difficult to do this. The splines of the input shaft of the gearbox do not need lubrication .. It can even harm! After a while, this grease will absorb dust from the friction of the clutch disc, and will begin to block its free movement on the shaft. Moreover, the same grease will start scattering onto the clutch disc. Which will cause the clutch to slip. Overall, very good!

[@partsandresto]

great tips! Thank you very much sir, i have a lot to learn

[@StanislavDenisenko]

@@partsandresto Experience comes with time. I have been engaged in the restoration of cars and motorcycles for 17 years, and despite this I continue to study until now ..)) Interesting videos on your channel, I subscribed.

[@bill90405]

Try bolting the timing cover loosely, then add damper, then snug up timing cover. Better chance the seal survives. Sone guys cover the rod bolt threads with rubber hose during assembly.

[@partsandresto]

Good advise mr schleicher, thank you sir!

[@jptoro2007]

I take my hat to you. In watched both videos. Impressive

[@hendrypardede8134]

As a heavy equipment mechanic, deep in my heart, i wanna say, your works is very good For an old engine like this, u should call someone who can set the timing gears Not like many other high tech engine, which only need to set the timing on Crankshaft and camshaft, and for the others, let the timing sensor works for it Cheers..

[@Farm_fab]

That's looking and sounding good, Philly neighbor.

[@partsandresto]

thanks Bryant!

[@johntretten4712]

The best video I've seen yet

[@cliffordkiehl3959]

For the comments below. The guy isn't rebuilding a Toyota Supra 3.0 engine here. These old Ford, Chevy, Plymouth engines will run under dirty and rusty conditions. This engine will run a long time. No one is going to take it to the drag strip and try to turn 5K RPM.

[@dufus2273]

did the same thing many years ago to my '50 model 4 dr. plymouth sedan. i was 17 yo at the time. 76 now. cars were so easy to work on then. good job. my working conditions were outside. didn't own a garage.

[@RESTORATIONRESCUE]

[@rbvenice]

A lot of congratulation for your old style workship but smart restauration of this old engine. I think that the badiest comments are from guy that not know how less sharp and tollerance these series of robust engines were. Best wishes from Venice, Italy.

[@partsandresto]

Thanks Roberto!

[@fulkthered]

With my luck even though the engine was turned upside down I would find that lost bolt on top of the piston after everything was put back together.

[@partsandresto]

It’s possibly rattling around in there.... guess I’ll find out 800 miles from home or something... haha

[@partsandresto]

@WelcomeToWillsWorld holy crap! That’s aweful. Also, I used to work in Frederick, MD

When you find that bolt you lost in that black hole, look for all the shit I've lost in there over the past 75 years.

[@explorer8888]

Another great video! I am saving it with Part 1 for when it’s time to put mine together. It made me realize that I need to buy a couple of extra tools. Excellent reference for me and for any person doing this for the first time. I am not a mechanical either.
