Hey just started watching your channel. I really like your attention to details and professional level skills at the engine rebuild. Im currently in the process of rebuilding a super A engine. Actually replacing the block with a salvaged one. IT sat out in the weather for years with no head on it. its been a challenge to disassemble. had to make a slide hammer to remove valve lifters , after cutting cam shaft in 3 pieces. Had to cut connecting rods just to remove crank shaft , had to cut pistons in half to remove from sleeves. Then make weld passes inside sleeves to shrink for removal. Yea…..Whew! Block was free and solid but took a lot of effort so far. So now I got two more issues….a rusted out expansion plug and a huge amount of chalky , caked up rust throughout water passages. Any experience to share on dealing with that stuff ? Thanks
Mustie, as a suggestion, if you have a piece of bar why not make one up instead of having to wait for another one as it also might be easier as I do engineering myself & I do try to make parts wherever I can
When I did my motor mechs we went through an engine rebuild & we had to make a list of the items that were missing or needed replacing & continued until it was completely done & then finally run & it was marked down as part of my exam until I got my final qualification which was my CITY & GUILDS although we went through everything including petrols & diesels & I to have to be honest with you for every single video I have watched of yours, you know exactly what you are doing every time congratulations Mustie
Mustie I have been watching you for a long time , I have been doing lots of things as far as fixing things , a lot of mechanical work gas and diesel, worked for Yancey Brothers Catterpiller , Tracks Corp. , and I worked on small engines , flipped housed, even had a contract with Army to repair watches and jewelry and did many other things. I like that you use common sense and figure things out, I am like you and work on many things for the first time and tackle anything that needs repair. Your pace is fine , you keep doing what you do , there will always be someone telling you how you should be doing what you do but I suspect many can’t do what you do . I continue to learn from you . Keep it up …… SA
I’m not sure whether you’re still reading comments on videos from 4 years ago, but I just had to say how impressed I have been with your knowledge, abilities and friendly personality. No matter what engines you’re taking apart, you’re able to clearly explain all the components, how they should function, and how to repair what isn’t working right. You’ve helped to remove the mystery of how so many things work. The natural conversation you have with the camera makes it feel like I’m right there, and somehow you cover every question that I may have in the process. I’ve used the knowledge and tips you’ve shown me to dive into the carburetor of my lawnmower, so that it now starts on the first pull!………and I’ve been able to diagnose issues with my neighbors’ equipment as well. You’ve inspired me to make use of my collection of tools and take on other kinds of projects as well, like metal fabrication and welding. Thanks for all your efforts in making these great entertaining videos,
i had a crack down the side of 6 cyl looked like you had that had froze up … cleaned crack real good v the crack. used JB weld and it worked. i also put ceramic stop leak that they use on race engines ? it was in a snowball truck. lucked out it worked. she ran it aleast 3 years.
On the block prep commentary at the start of this clip… Folks its a 1941 tractor! Fix it in the field with basic tools and rigged repairs, no manuals or torque specs. It's not about super fine tolerances and computers as today is used today and that contribute to our current desposible or forced replacement by corperations to keep their "shareholders" happy…
Comment for support 😅

The harder wire wheel made a higher pitch noise.
My opinion? Think Goldilocks.
