I'm 69 years old and never knew how an engine went together (what went where and why) until now. Thanks for the "tutorial." In 1974 I had to replace the bell housing on a 1967 Dodge one ton Maxivan with a 225 slant six (single tiny carburetor). Never did it before, but after I got it together it rattled like crazy when driven. I was told by a mechanic that the pilot bearing was bad. That it would cost $350 to replace this 25 cent part. I had a friend join me and we replaced that bearing ourselves in a third of the time I did it before. Saved the $350 I didn't have (only made $221 every two weeks in the Navy back then),

Way way back in the day, I had a paper route and a used 1962 (I think) black hard-top 3-speed stick-shift Corvair Monza Spyder. Most fun car ever. But one night it snowed pretty heavily. (Loved my gas heater.) I was delivering papers that morning; turned a corner at a hilltop intersection and the car spun round and round; finally abutting the right street curb with the right rear wheel. Stuck. When sun came up, I could see the rear wheel bent outward at top, inward at bottom ... the engine ran fine but was also slightly tilted. Car got towed to a garage and they told my parents it was totaled .. and I said "Goodbye." 50 years of sadness later, watching your videos, I now realize that car could have EASILY been fixed. Darn, what a life-changing moment that might have been, had I known anything. 🙁

Matt - You should have seen how a 30 year old tub of Teflon Fortified Grease looked when I opened it up. It had separated and had a layer of hard plastic like dried old paint floating on top of the oil that use to be mixed in suspension with. Old grease cartridges will do similar however you likely won't see any evidence of it until well after you've loaded them in your grease gun and they start dripping oil after you already started using them. Old oil does similar however the pressure additive usually sink to the bottom and can get very abrasive (Don't ask me how I know). It probably would be a good idea, if you haven't already done so, to pull any other NOS parts that might contain old oil and clean them our or replace them. Best!

@aussiebloke6094 ай бұрын
I was taught it's good practice to just make sure they're not lined up - but also that it really wasn't important, as the rings will twist around in their grooves as the engine runs, so they won't stay where you put them. Only 2-strokes hold their rings from rotating, so the gap doesn't wipe over a port and snap the end of the ring off - and in their case, the piston itself has a little nub in each groove that holds the ring in place.

Dual shocks are great if valved correctly... chevy put quad shocks on the front of alot of late 80s trucks stock. When it came time to replace or upgrade them.... no one sold shocks with the correct valving. The stock shocks were valved so each shock did half the work, so together they acted like a large single able to absorb bumps longer b4 fading. Most shops would install shocks with full valving (designed to work alone) & installing 2 per side made the truck ride extreamly rough. The higher end Bilstine shocks can be rebuilt & the valved according to your weight, spring rate ect. Alot of us have custom valving done on our shocks for our Razors, bikes & snowmobiles, makes a huge difference! One of the best in the buisness is Jack Strothers in Boise ID... Carl's Cycle Sales. It's not cheap but the difference is totally Amazing when an expert who has races for years sets them up. I can rebuild & install seals ect but the magic is in all the years of racing & tuning Jack has acquired. Bar non one of the best improvements over stock is proper shock setup.

i have been wheeling since i saw my 1st 3 wheeler in the 80s and have owned quads, trucks, sand rails toy haulers, yada yada yada. but after seeing all your jobs i did not realize how many things i have learned. i am sure a lot of things i see look crazy and lots of footage gets cut but i swear you are a driven man that flys by the seat of your pants and luck. if your ever in my neck of the woods and i can meet you i will have a bag of oranges for ya. lol be safe bud and thank you for being such a positive example.

Yup, when you take your engine apart you'll find used bearings in there. I'll add that to Freibergers quote of what people did in '69, and that was drive their '69 Camaros in the winter.

Back in 1960-65. I was a Partner with Brown chevrolet in Troy, Kansas and the secret with the Corvair engine was to always add a then Bottle of Thick Oil Aditive to the Oil and always make sure the vvent modulator Cylinoids on the Vents were always workng for the Motor. many people burnt that engine up because of not knowing how to service them. My Oldest Brother was the head Mechanic for 20th Century Oldsmobile and he took the Bigger Van and Pickup Engine and built a tremendous what they called back then was a monolift that was like a Helecopter platform They could lift and cary Wilbur Burrial Valts on at the Cemeteries . He built three of them using V. W. Bug Engines as well as thrww small Croslet five Main berring Engines because for their size, They could hold up batter than the two Air Cooled. The Crosley Motor was the same engine they used in the Big Racing Motor Boats of the time, They would hold up better than the Johnson or the Mercury Out Board Motors.

I love Matt's rules and I always write them down. I'm going to put them in book form and call it "Wetzel's Pocket Field Guide For The Logically Impaired" He can also give them away with the T-shirt post recovery on a case by case basis, should he deem it necessary.😉😉🤣🤣❤❤
