Working on a 1932 Stutz DV32 block

Published 2018-01-21
Another action packed episode of cutting, welding and drilling. This time a 1932 Stutz DV32 block is being line bored. And yes, many of you will be bored too.

  • Just look at the beauty of this engine. And it runs without computers. Those engines were massively made and appears to be very strong. Great craftsmanship in rebuilding a treasure.

    The more and more I deal with engines and everything the more and more I want to be an engine builder and watching these videos on what exactly goes into the precision of machining makes me want to do it even more

    He’s not just a machinist, but an artist who works through machines
  • I'm really enjoying your work! When I was a kid I worked at an automotive machine shop and really enjoyed the work. But on my lunch I'd work a half block and there was a real restoration shop that was always full of beautiful classic cars. I studied and drooled over them. I left for the military and when I got back the shop was gone. I watch you and I'm totally jealous of the people that get to work with you! I'm guessing that some of the cars you've done have previously gone through the shop we had in Topeka back in the 70's. I can't remember it's name. Thanks again
  • @Tellyfive
    Thank you for an in depth technical video and thank you for keeping these amazing cars driving!
  • @BruceBoschek
    Excellent video and perfectly executed job on the main bearings. Thanks very much for sharing this!

    Another great video. I had no idea that's how it was done. I watch the AMG Mercedes videos on engine building, but they always seem to skip by this process. However, their crank rotates like yours does, free and easy. Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge. Can't wait for your next video. Take care.

    Interesting , this the first time that I've seen the bearing shells bored as apposed to the block itself . Nice work .
  • @skylinefever
    I'm fascinated by the challenges of rebuilding such old engine designs.
  • Very inspiring. The shop layout and attention to detail go well with the carefull methodology. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks, Mark, for this great video. Love your channel!

    As an ex machinist, I love watching machine shop work miss the smell of cutting oil sometimes always fun to watch your videos 👍
  • @rustyaxelrod
    That was quick! He was just being modest. That was a good bit of work with the measuring of each bearing and chamfering etc.
  • @bigmountain7561
    Unbelievable how much time and labor and love that you and the shop puts into the work. Just Awesome!! Thank You 🙏
  • I am a journey level manual machinist. I have cut everything from electric motor end bells, and rotor shafts, to 8000 pound wheel motor frames on a 96 inch V.T.L. I have done portable line boring, and custom one off parts. I would trade it all today, to work in a shop like this!
  • Mark I love your videos also as the last person said. Set up and accurate measurements are the key!! Thanks for you precious time you take to make these videos
