    Thanks for doing these! I feel like it is an important contribution to the digital library that is youtube.

    Love your videos. It’s therapy watching anything done absolutely correct. πŸ‘ 😊

    Even a simple Model A engine deserves that attention to detail! All those little things add up and make for a great running vehicle. Always impressed by the quality of your workmanship! πŸ‘πŸ‘

    I enjoyed every second of that. Excellent workmanship, into that piece of history.
  • Big congratulations on your machine shop! It is impeccable. Looked even like a surgical unit it looked so clean. That’s just the way I think a machine shop should be operated. You all do beautiful work! My kind of workmanship!
  • Great video, thank you. Can you tell us how you got into the business and ended up with such a high end shop, that didn't happen overnight and is beyond impressive.
  • Out doing important work for the shop, yeah right. Cut down on the coffee and donut runs. Interesting build. I like the build detail you go into.
  • When fitting wet liners in the Rolls-Royce V8, because of the rubbers seals, RR used palm oil.

    You do beautiful work. This is the first of your videos that I have seen. Very impressive but it would sure be nice to know where you are located. Not necessarily an exact specific address but at least what city and state.

    I think the white goop is Seal-Lock Fluid Weld. I've used it for valve seats.
  • Great video! Do you do any aircraft restoration? How do you like flying the HUSKY? It's a marvelious airplane; I've heard nothing but rave reviews.
  • Sir, how many miles did a production engine last for? and how many after your TLC?

    Very helpful video as I am at the beginning of an engine rebuild myself. Do you recall how much endplay you gave the crankshaft? The insert instructions call for .002 - my gut tells me that's a little on the tight side (?)
