Restoration of the Chrysler 218 Straight 6 Flathead Engine PART 1- ASMR

[@marksettles6695]

There's professional big budget you tubers screaming at this video about your methods. I'm 60 years old and have seen more engines rebuilt exactly like you're doing it than any other way. I watched my grandpa and uncles rebuild engines in the dirt at the oval tracks and win. Dude, I'm subscribing because of the no frills no bullshit practical way you do things. Great videos.

[@partsandresto]

Thanks Mark!!

Point taken, I remember seeing an old guy in my neighborhood take a red brick and water, and a lot of patience, resurface a flywheel. It looked beautiful.

[@johntripp2028]

This is not what you do if you want reliability and or performance. He gains no respect from me. I’m not a big budget mechanic and sometimes I have had to “make do” , but this is disgraceful.

[@jackmoorehead2036]

Shades of my youth, we had a 53, Mayflower 2 door wagon, we pulled and rebuilt the engine in 59. I learned a lot from that. Including making gaskets and rebuilding carbs, starters and pumps. It is becoming a lost art of fixing components. Thank you for sharing this.

[@markduncan6690]

Thankyou Sir for a “No Nonsense Teardown” No crazy monologue to listen to!

[@williamcleland9750]

Man I love your videos. I just retired from 40 years of medicine. Learned to drive in a 1947 Dodge four door fluid drive that I still own. I have dreamed of restoration but to date lacked a lot of time energy and know how. Now however I am inspired, thank you. WJDC

Brother James, thank you sir!

It's good to see a real restoration.all of the parts are thoroughly cleaned. Keeping it as original as possible. Instead of cleaning the big parts and putting a whole bunch of new small parts on it.

In my teens, I worked in my father's garage in the early 60's and learned a lot. Your engine is a good candidate. You're doing a good job. These were pretty low compression engines and the tolerances were not as critical back then as nowadays. Your engine should run just fine for years to come.

little tip I've learnt when it comes to gasket paper, tap it with a ball peen hammer when its placed on said object you need it for. Tap around the areas that need cutting out and it'll just sheer off. Great video man :)

This is an amazingly helpful channel! Thanks for documenting all this. I am rebuilding a 50 Plymouth engine that was in my 49 Plymouth. Your videos are helping a lot! This is a legacy project. The car has been in our family for over 70 years. My grandad was a Mopar mechanic for 30 years (30 - 60). When he had to stop driving due to dementia, he handed the keys to me. I drove it in H.S., but then, sadly, I let it sit for too many years. I've been working on it for 30 years! My goal is a reveal in 2023. Thanks for your help!!!

[@taraellis8279]

Ummm sooooo question? Are you going to post a video? Id love to see it! Im so sorry that your loved one had dementia.

Nice, did the same thing with the one out of my power wagon a few years ago. if you'd like a little more power shaving about .060 off of the head, pertronix ignition and an edgy speed shop cam made mine a lot happier. also if your reusing the old oil pump the gears tend to chew up the cast cover, finding someone with a surface grinder to smooth out the cover will give you much better oil pressure

It’s out of a 1949 Plymouth business coupe. Going to replace the rear end too, 4/56 gears. Put a 350 Chevy and trans in her. Oh yea, got split manifold exhaust and big carb with manifold like I said, just pulled it out and set it in the barn. Just watching you clean that one up makes mine look brand new. From what we can tell, broken rod bolt caused the damage. 56,000 miles. I would sell it.

Not so sure of the way the valve lapping was done - using a drill spinning in one direction only. Should use a hand valve lapping tool having suction cups on ends - dab lapping compound on valve - spin back and forth - lift reset at different position - spin again - repeat until valve /seat are resurfaced. At least that's te way I was taught how lap valves /seats. (40 years experience). 👍
