ABANDONED Muscle Car Revival! First Start in 35 years! -- Part 6

[@ThunderHead289]

HEY! The revival isn’t done. We RIPPP on this thing on episode 7, I couldn’t believe the life in that 318 myself. Next episode is on JYD channel!!! Don’t miss it 💪💪💪💪 Also, catch us offline on Facebook at “Thunderhead289 carb & engine: tech/tune forum”

[@m1a1hm]

Hey just wondering did you guys get the brakes fixed.

[@harleyguyinmilw]

Clint, I'm very interested in the possibility of buying the satellite from you guys, I had the same car in High School, 'cept mine was an automatic w/center console, I would love to restore this car, bring back some good memories!!

[@davidthewelder6788]

@@harleyguyinmilw Sorry to say but they mentioned in a live stream that the car has already been sold. They are working through the footage and making episodes of it. the 1970 is the best looking one in my opinion. 70 was the best year for a lot of cars in terms of the look of it, in my opinion.

[@ericstarnerjr1601]

What are the plans for the car since it’s so rusted? Everything else seems alright considering

[@woodrowpdencarreon9215]

its part 6.

[@mikahakkinen5651]

good video. a want to see the old man driving his old car again.

[@robis40]

62 downvotes? WTH? I'm a Ford guy but being born in 1960 I love mid 60's to early 70's cars of all makes. I probably would only restore a Ford myself but I love seeing them all brought back to life.

[@perotekku]

Thanks again to you guys, and all the KZbin guys carrying the torch of shadetree hotrodding. TV shows and magazines today are all about big budget builds, and advertising products they're paid to sell. Nothing like leaning over a fender with nothing but a set of tools and know-how to get you by.

Had just finished watching Dylan McCool's latest video and this alert popped up. One of my favorite series. I'm a Ford guy at heart but I like these old cars and what ya'll do to get 'em going again. 👍

[@KnuckleHeadGarage27]

😂😂 same I was watching his video and then it poped up this and I was like hell yes finally and stopped watching his and went here lol

[@Shane-Singleton]

I did as well. At the moment this is more fun than watching Dylan toss new parts at his Challenger.

[@curtthacker43]

Same absolutely. Well I finished villains then went right to this I do wish it was a Ford though. Between those three and vise grip garage has to be my top four channels to go to

Yah I caught Dylan for lunchtime today and then this popped up - we're spoilt! :D

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

Always liked the front end design on these cars.

[@steveskouson9620]

Personally, I liked the Roadrunner better. Had less chrome You guys are making me quite ill! I had a '70 Roadrunner, the sedan body. Not the hardtop style this is. But, mine had a 440, and an A833. Yes, the Pistol Grip, too. That year, you could slide 2, .020 feeler gauge leaves, one on either side of the upper shifter, and the whole pistol grip handle would slide right out. Then you replace the 2 foot long handle, with an 8 inch Comp Plus handle. 1 to 2, was 4 inches. 1 to 3 was 1.5 inches. I did a burnout, and the 1-2 shift, where there was no rubber, you could cover, with a standard 8.5X11 piece of paper. With the Pistol Grip, couldn't cover it with a yardstick. I spent a whole $800 on that car. I'm sure it is worth 100 times that much now. steve

[@1977jed]

I know you guys are not Mopar fans, But me being a DIEHARD AMC/Mopar guy can say..that Mopars are pretty forgiving when it comes to sitting a long time! Minus rust of course, but no car is impervious to that! Cant wait for the next vid!

It is nice when an engine starts right up like that. My 66 mustang was like that and my 63 ranch wagon is like that, 302 and 260 V8 respectively. I’m getting motivated to get back to work on that wagon. Wish the 390 in my 65 Galaxie wasn’t seized.

[@vhfgamer]

just run the diesel oils. they have plenty of zinc in them. I like to run shell rotella 10w30 diesel oil. It has all the zinc and it has all the diesel detergents so my engine stays nice and clean.

Use shell rotella 15w40, 1100ppm phosphorus and 1200ppm zinc. Iv run it in my 1970 f100 since 2005. 408,000 miles and counting on the original 360FE.

[@Jasonalexander-l7e]

you dont need zinc additive if the engine is broken in or unless you're running high pressure valve springs. I have a old jeep and camaro and i dont use any zinc additive and i have never had a problem.

[@johnburch6927]

Good insight on the oils. Additives have changed considerably and not always friendly to classic engines.

[@Midnightsnack456]

First. Love this series and the hosts, you guys rock!!

[@scottmorgan133]

Add zinc....use motorcycle oil or Valvoline VR-1 racing oil. I use the VR-1 in old motorcycles because I don’t want synthetic oil in it since some clutches don’t like it. VR-1 haves lots of zinc in it. Oil for motorcycles haves lots of zinc since air cooled motors need it more then water cooled. Yes, even lawn mowers

[@craigpalmer5693]

You guys got engine running itself around the yard or the streets awesome video bless you

For future reference, you can still buy oil with zinc, it's called 15w40 diesel oil, works great in old cars.

[@ThunderHead289]

Rotella, it’s what I run in my pushrod tbi chevys

[@papasmurfron7339]

Was the phosphorus, in the oil, the reason the cadylic converters would seal up, and cause them to turn cherry red?

[@Ray-dx2pf]

11:50 LMAO its giving it all its got.

[@keithpruett7971]

The rotella oil at my dads work still has zinc in it

[@WatchWesWork]

I'd like to know if anyone has a real life story of a stock cam with stock valve springs failing from low zinc in the oil. Tons of modern overhead cam engines have valve "buckets" that are basically the same as a flat tappet and they run flawlessly with modern oils.

[@ThunderHead289]

😅 have you ever popped a valve cover on a vw and had ye a looky loo?

[@WatchWesWork]

@@ThunderHead289 No. I've never worked on a VW. I have been into plenty of DOHC engines such as Toyotas with the cam running right against the buckets like any flat tappet application. They routinely do 300,000 miles with the modern watered down 0W-20 oil. I have also seen cams fail. But it's typically with some crazy lift and the valve springs turned up to 11.

[@ThunderHead289]

Watch Wes Work Watch Wes Work Iv never played with over head cam stuff myself, so I can’t speak to the valve spring pressures, but I do know that pushrod engines take a lot more pressure to control since there is so much weight associated with that style of valvetrain. Without looking into anything, I would venture to say they are heavier than overhead cams. BUT also, zinc is not a cumulative is better scenario. Even oils with 500 ppm will support anything, just higher pressure scenarios will consume that ppm quicker. Change oil every 3k and even flat tappets live forever. I run retella with the Lucas stabilizer just to keep a coating on the valvetrain and Iv never had issues in the stock world

[@WatchWesWork]

@@ThunderHead289 Interesting. I suppose the pushrod application is going to have more stress than a 4 valve DOHC. I don't work on cars like this Satelite, but in old tractors with flat tappet cams I've never heard of spontaneous cam failure and you can bet your lunch that farmers are buying the cheapest oil ever made.

[@SpyderGarage]

So rewarding to see it move under its own power finally. The Hardee’s bottle find was pretty cool too. Were you able to get his reaction to it on camera by chance?

[@1234mattyman]

a good way to release stuck break drums is to apply some heat and then you might hear a cracking sound witch means they should be able to be taken off. try that anyways good videos from the UK glad you got the engine running.

[@heavychevy2289]

Shell rotella T4 has 1200 zinc and 1100 phosphorus.. the API standard has changed in the past few years if it has SN stay away I always use diesel oil for my flat tappet vehicles... With a API of CK4 which use to be CJ4

[@grassyfieldz4578]

Can watch these type of videos all day long.

[@andy347495]

After you mentioned without having zinc in the oil the flat tappet cam will go flat got me thinking about the early 90's chevy v8's that came with flat tappet cams. Ive seen lots of them with 150,000 or more miles that the cams are fine. Is there something different that ables them to last?

[@ThunderHead289]

The lower the spring pressures, the less you need. Zinc IS still in oil, just in lesser quantities. As long as oil is changed every 3k, there is enough zinc for flat tappet vehicles. My tbi 94 Chevy has 180k on it, factory sealed

[@nubreed13]

Part of it too is older cams are made with softer steel. My 61 was notorious for chewing up camshafts even when it was new

[@applebutter4036]

I'm honestly impressed.
