Remanufacturing a Packard V12 engine

In addition to the beautiful work you do that is so rightly lauded in the comments here, I really appreciate your explanations and descriptions of the work being done. All-in-all a very worthwhile video. Thank you very much.

Nice to see that genuine skill, craftsmanship, and expertise can still be found in America. Outstanding work!

incredible craftsmanship..incredible machines..and you surely deserve more subs...

Packard one of the best cars ever made!

My grandfather owned and ran a machine shop during WWII. He was exempted from the draft because he was the only machinist in a 300 mile radius and was needed to keep the farm equipment running where he lived. He talked a lot about all the crazy adhoc, methods he had to do to keep engines and equipment running during a wartime economy with very limited resources. Given the age of that engine I suspect some of those not so orthodox repairs were the result of a wartime rebuild when new parts were simply unavailable. Though not exactly up to modern snuff, they seem to have kept that car moving down the road for a good many decades.

mint workshop, very impressive.

Absolutely commendable! A Masterwork on a great engine. I had a 1947 Clipper 8. I bought it in 1961 for $8. I had to do a valve job on it and replace one exhaust valve. They were fanyastic cars! I never even saw a V12.

One of hose moments that restore my faith in humanity. Beautiful ework and shop.

Every great motor shop still use old time machines and tools, etc. Nice to see the old machines at work.

The people who designed and built this car when new , would be proud of you, for giving this car a new life that is probably better than when it actually was new . great work, good editing of vid , A-plus! more please.

That was the quickest 13 minutes ever! Great video. Thanks!

Nice to see someone who takes great pride in their work and takes the time and effort to do it RIGHT the first time.People like you are becoming very rare these days where shoddy work rules the day. My father always said" do it right or stay home". WELL DONE SIR!!!!

One thing is to read or be told the displacement, another is to see the size of the piston and intake holes in the stripped block. That’s a big engine. Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks for the video.

I'm watching you do this excellent work and all I can think is, "This classic flathead engine could sure use a nice GMC 6-71 blower on top of it. Might get 3, 400 smooth-as-glass horses out of it."

very interesting,first time watching a rebuilt on a V 12 packard,thanks for sharing.

WOW! Awesome work, looks like a NASA shop with all those mashines, and clean, too!

much more interesting than watching an ford flathead being rebuilt

OMG the technology! I worked my way through college as a mechanic in the 70s. I did engine rebuilds. My honer was attached to a drill with a long shaft. I stood over the engine and worked the honing stones up and down the cylinder by hand. Valve seats? We lapped those by hand. Valves? That was our most sophisticated piece of equipment. Dinosaur stuff compared to what is in this shop.

Just fascinating to see that level of craftsmanship. Thanks for posting this.

Who are the 400 people who seem not to like the video? What you are doing is truly wonderful (or awesome as you yanks say!).
