I admire the respect that Chad shows for Doug. Shows the measure of a man that he is, that he listens and follows the instructions of Doug in his own shop. 👍👍
You guys need to get the trans off and get the engine on an engine stand, then you can turn it upside down and drain the cylinders. Then you will have a better view of things to fit that other pan to the engine. BTW I think you could use a parts washer to clean that pan and other stuff.
I love this. It is not meant to be a master lesson in engine rebuilding- it is 2 friends doing what they can with the kit they have got. That is like most of us.
I agree totally, you hand build from scratch a stunning car. Why would you shove in a engine from a junk yard that has not been totally rebuilt, you never know what other horrors may be lurking within that engine, doesn't make sense!
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your work life with us. Something you've done that's very different from any other channel is to allow the chat. I know the chat can get out of hand at times, it's still a good thing.
Doug and Geoff are the kind of guys you want hanging out with you! A wealth of knowledge you're lucky to have present! But if Doug hears the word "interference" about 25 more times, he's gonna see if you can dodge a wrench!
Please JUST WELD A KNOB OR T HANDLE ON THE RELEASE FOR THE ENGINE HOIST. It's painful to watch grown men keep trying to lower the engine and know its going to come down to fast and how touchy it is and not figure that out !!! Any questions on how to do it just ask👍
Chad what happened to the guy you had working on all your other motors? He seemed very capable of doing this work! I thought he was very good at getting your junkyard finds up and running!
I'm a retired mechanic and have diagnosed and built a lot of motors. This is too painful to watch to the end. Chad, love ya but keep your hands on the body work. Leave the motors to guys that do this everyday. You can seriously hurt the motor and yourself with your unsafe work habits. Doug is biting his tongue here! He's being awful kind.
Maybe Doug is trying to teach him about engines, we all have to learn at some point and for it being a already stuck engine that they have no idea what really made them sticks is a perfect learning tool for him to teach on it’s not a 10,000$ west engine it’s 200$
Chad there is a good reason not to work on oily stuff in the body shop every time you run an air tool to clean off a gasket your putting droplets of oil and oily gasket into air and they will land on the cars and cause paint problems down the road
I have tremendous respect for your artistic vision and confident work ethic. I knew you had it flip-flopped. So what? Also, unfortunately, knew that many less accomplished mechanic/builder/artist types would focus on the one or two things not perfectly correct. Sorry that humanity can be so sanctimonious. It is an indication of your talent that gurus like Geoff and Doug think their time is well spent in both of your company and on Jolene's car project. I am a motorcycle guy. We just lost Dale Walksler. His vision came to fruition before he passed in the Wheels Through Time Museum. There were guys like you, Doug and Geoff in that shop with that same cool vibe, all the time. We miss him and are again reminded that the great minds take much knowledge with them when their time comes. Watching you work together in the shop is as good as it gets without being there to help . Thanx to you all. Nice job filming, Jolene.
dont' worry about about that little mistake ... only thing you really got to know is its got to be in time ... interference non interference it ain't going to run unless its in time ...i haven't ran into very many non interference overhead valve engines.. arm chair professionals are going to jump on any thing you are doing ...they know the lingo and others know how to actually do it

INTERFERENCE ENGINE that’s what that is Chad. Hey Chad you know what kind of engine that is? Let me tell you. It’s an INTERFERENCE ENGINE!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You will get it you didn’t learn body and metal work over night you will get there just hang in people that don’t make mistakes are the ones sitting on there behinds not doing anything but judging you
I was taught when rebuilding any engine parts that cleanliness is next to godlessness so while you had it apart why did you not clean and paint the oil pan?
Very enjoyable show… I love the interaction between you two… I think you guys are doing a bang up job. I see the one comment that made me piss myself laughing has been deleted… The one about crawling… LOL
Can't believe you did all that without changing/checking the oil filter and without pulling the head to clear all the metal bits that must be in there from the spark plug issue. All good fun though.
I would think parts for 59 3.4 ltr Jag engine would be hard to find, but there are places to custom cut gaskets. And to save pistons and rings from breakage due to rusty cylinders have to pull the head.
When you cranked the motor over and put the rag along the top to stop oil from blowing out, would it also stop any particles or shit that could be on top of the pistons from coming out as well
Very un-safe working on suspended load. I used my engine hoist to install c3 corvette doors. (Loaded doors very heavy) had lock nut come off of the hook and dropped door! Luck i wasn't under it at the Time!
Chad...let me say something... I have recently discovered your shop at Discovery chanel....you area great inspiration, your work, you passion, but most of all your attitude about life. I'm from Argentina thanks for sharing your work, best regards!!!!
I was thinking in my brain that it would be nice to do a little interview or back story on Doug....Where is he from… What was his vocation in life… Seems like it would be an interesting topic.
I wouldn't have pulled the oil pan yet. I didn't se ya'll even look at rod bearings or anything. I'd Do compression check and throw some fuel and fire to it and I bet it will run with no problem
Turn then engine over by hand checking the valve clearance any way over stuck...pull head inspect hand lap in valves,. Grind valve shims under followers. Cheap to just make it a runner .does take a bunch of time for shim adjustments. Cam has to come off 12 times
Hi Jolene I see Chad is still talking a lot. They could get more wore done if Chad didn't talk so much lol . Doug don't talk to much he like to get the job done lol. show this to chad
