it's fascinating the same basic technology is used in our cars today. smart engineers back then.

[@1SqueakyWheel]

The video is not claiming invention. It's showing off the tall waterjacketing around the cylinders and the high flow in the valve seats. Not saying it wasn't being done before, just claiming to have improved it immensely. That old truck which had all those men piled onto it.... most cars and trucks of that prior era were easier to overheat due to simpler and more comparatively rudimentary cooling passages within their blocks and heads. They'd boil over, causing you to have to pull over onto the side of the road to allow time to cool and top off with the water jug in the trunk. So much so to the point that optical sightglass caps or tubal level indicators were commonplace, and regularly checked. So Chevy was proud of their car pulling a load well above its expected duty without boiling over on them. Even if they overemphasized the feature to the point of gimmickry, it's still a feature of interest, and good info for owners and potential buyers to know, all while holding audience attention for advertising reasons.

[@aristoshd]

Yep. Now the are designing stuff to be broken soon so people can buy again. Sad.

[@JohnSmith-oo4qx]

Or stupid ones today.

[@DavidPruitt]

It might look the same but the technology is actually a bit different. The entire system is pressurized and doesn't depend on evaporation like the valves do here. They also tended to lose fluid. A modern engine will hold its temperature within a few degrees across the entire engine across a range of conditions. Those old engines wouldn't last long before they had to be completely rebuilt. The result of advances in design is that a modern engine will run well over 100000 miles before it needs to be torn down.

Knew a guy once who bought a crate engine for his S10, swapped it but didn't bother to change out the exhaust manifold. New manifold didn't fit the existing exhaust so after he finished the swap he drove down to the local muffler shop to get it mated. Couldn't figure out why it ran so hot on the way, but got his new exhaust and drove back home. Didn't make it. He had forgot to put coolant/water in the radiator/system and fried that brand new crate engine like a piece of bacon. Heat Indicator sticker on the engine was pitch black and they didn't let him return it. Oooops! Guess coolant really is important, who knew?

@boostedsil40 Hard to say what the water temp actually was, if it was low enough on water and the sender isnt in contact with water, it will read a lower temp. but its lying, its hotter than fuck. Ive seen that happen quite a few times on generators. A hose lets go, dumps the coolant and runs until it really lets go and blows a headgasket, you hope.. Why didnt the high temp safety shutdown work ? It wasnt in contact with liquid. Avoid that by putting in a low water level sensor in the top tank of the rad.

​@@paulette_hinai Vehicles in 2019 have cheap, underpowered engines. Uh no. Engines today are so much more powerful than even 30 years ago. A Honda civic today has double the HP of a V6 Chevy C10 pickup truck of 1990. The lowest powered 4 door vehicle you can purchase new today is a Mitsubishi Mirage at 76HP, 4HP less than the Chevrolet Master shown in this video. The Master has an inline 6 3.4L engine vs. the 3 cylinder 1.2L Mirage. That's less than half the displacement and it's not even an advanced engine. A 1.0L engine with advanced tech applied to it could have up to 138HP like that found in the Ford Fiesta Ecoboost.

[@Miata822]

I learned basic mechanics as a young teen from an old encyclopedia found at a garage sale. Printed in the '20s (the hundred years ago '20s I just now realized) the encyclopedia had extensive sections on every function of cars of that day. I was reading in the early '70s but the principles remain the same to this day. Other sections on airplanes, generators, basic electrical circuits, gears, and machine tools did a similar job of explaining fundamental mechanical devices in language an inquisitive child could absorb. It strikes me that many of these things were new or relatively new to many Americans at the time that encyclopedia was published and many adults of the day would want to know how to fix their car. Understanding fundamental design and function of any device is a prerequisite to meaningfully diagnosing and repairing a machine. To this day I have not seen an equivalent overall tutorial on how things work though I spent a career in engineering, reading all sorts of training materials. A hundred years ago people repaired things that broke. Today we have been trained to discard and replace anything that fails. Ultimately this is not sustainable behavior. One day the dumps will be full and the mines empty (figuratively speaking, of course). Rather than whine about "the state of the world today" I find myself encouraged by the countless assets on KZbin that cover the fundamentals of the machines and electronics we use today. There are countless channels devoted to basic mechanical and craftsman skills and an equal number devoted to practical repair techniques. Channels like this one and especially the video above remind me of that early training I received, and while it sounds like a commercial the information it gives is valid. Posted here eight years ago it still gathers views and I all but guarantee some young people have watched it then made a point of checking their car's coolant level (Read the owner's manual for how to check. *Never* open a hot radiator cap.)

[@canadagood]

Nowadays you don't have to understand the underlying concept of how things work. You just have to know which part to remove and replace.

[@Miata822]

@@canadagood Yes, for a base level repair technician. When the self-diagnostic software gets it wrong, or a component fails repeatedly, having a fundamental understanding is needed. Recently a technician failed to repair my refrigerator because the part "was not available." Understanding the fundamentals, I was able to find a functionally identical part from a different manufacturer. In business (designing machines) I have encountered too many young engineers who had little hands-on practical understanding of the systems they designed and how they might interact with the outside world. Building a weal kink into one part of a complex system can be the root cause of cascading failures elsewhere. From the mechanic who throws parts at a problem until it is fixed, to the engineer who chooses new components w/o understanding their implications to the overall machine, we see cost and time inefficiencies that could have been avoided with a little background knowledge.

One thing Chevrolet did correctly and Ford did wrong, was placing the inlet of the water pump where the temperature is at its lowest, coming out of the bottom of the radiator. This is also the point of lowest pressure and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point. On the Ford V8, until 1937, the water pump inlet was at the cylinder heads and the hottest point. Backwards.

[@markk3652]

No, on a flathead ford v8, the water goes in at the waterpump inlets at the bottom ( there are two waterpumps) and exits thru the head on both sides. They changed the head design over time, 32-48 had a center exit, where the 49-53 had water outlet at the front of the head. The drawback in keeping a flathead v8 cool was 1. The valve train is inside the block 2. The exhaust ports are routed thru the block, and- cylinders 2 and 3, 6 and 7, are siamesed, they share one exhaust port. With modern aluminum radiators, better designed waterpumps, and thermostatically controlled electric fans that move way more air, a flathead can be thermally controlled very well.

Ford was still on the learning curve when it came to water pumps. A stock Model T didn't even have one.

If the car ran at 180 under normal conditions it would certainly increase under extreme load. As long as it stayed under the boiling point it was doing it's job. I can't believe you could go up that hill under load and not have the temperature rise in the engine.

[@joevignolor4u949]

Yes you can. That's what the thermostat does. The thermostat actually adjusts by opening and closing itself by some amount all the time. That's how it regulates the water temperature even as the engine load and outside air temperature change. The cooling system has enough reserve cooling capacity to normally keep the engine well under 180 all the time. But the thermostat adjusts the amount of water circulating in the system. It stays partially closed to raise the temperature up to 180 and hold it there. Then if the engine load or outside air temperature increases the thermostat open more to let more water circulate to hold the temperature at 180. Then if the load goes down the thermostat closes a bit to still keep the temperature at 180.

Well i got a slant six ram and just retrofited a junk yard catalitic from a crashed F150 just for fun and guest what now is a green truck, it dont pollute any more.

The transmission could use a coolant system too in a situation like this. Also, hauling that load down the hill would be a good test of brake engineering and additional transmission overheating issues.

[@PeopleAlreadyDidThis]

No transmission cooler for a 3-speed manual filled with 90-weight gear grease that only lubricates. Automatics need cooling because of the heat generated in the torque converter, where the fluid is more or less sheared between the turbine vanes. But you’re right about brakes. I wouldn’t want to be in front of anything 1930s going downhill. I remember the brake fade in the mountains in the 60s. They’d get so hot they just lost their friction. You’d see people with smoking brake linings almost out of control on downhill runs.

[@jeffreyburney6161]

That’s because 95% of all vehicles back in them days were manual transmissions they don’t need a cooling system they did have automatics but they were very unreliable and I would not pull something with an automatic back of them days most everybody back then could drive a manual transmission you have to if you couldn’t drive a manual transmission you didn’t drive at all. I have a friend that lives in Germany and he’s my age she’s 34 and he’s never driven an automatic in his life he said there are automatics in Europe but most Europeans want a manual transmission because they’re more reliable. Those Americans are very lazy and spoiled most cars you see on the road today here in the United States are hot automatics me I actually drive a car that is a manual transmission for my daily driver also have a pick up truck that’s automatic but I use it to haul things and pull things with

The cooling system in this Chevy engine is so much better designed then the cooling system in the 1936 ford v8 that we just fully rebuilt. It’s hard to imagine that flat head engines were even ancient technology back then and ford held onto the design for another 17 years after this video was made

A quite catching arrangement of Paul Robeson's "Water Boy" in the first 3 minutes or so.

[@josephefasciani7343]

I'm 77 now (2020) and recall Paul Robeson very well. He came to my HS, Bellevue Senior High, I think in 1960. He was in a wheelchair, but he still sang better than any of us could imagine!

"Hot enough to Boil Mercury" I think that type of measurement would be frowned upon today

[@swagiyo9801]

I think it had more relevans back then, when they used mercury in thermometers, so such temperatures would make it explode. Nowadays we use died alcohol.
