I work in New Orleans in Law Enforcement and watch a few guys that live in one of the neighborhoods do engines on side of the road just like this. I always amazed me how innovative they are. They do cars for people who cant afford 3 grand at some rip off mechanic shop. God Bless man! You rock
I was in the USVI and there were cars on stands everywhere. it was very hard to find an independent auto shop anywhere except maybe a dealer. Here in Dallas isn't so different. everybody seems to have 6 different cars on their driveway.
I used the sanding technique to fix a 5 thou warp on my nearly 200 mph motorcycle and saved a $1700 head. No problems, just time and elbow grease. A lot of people never had to fix their car over the weekend to get to work on Monday with NO money in their pocket. Necessity makes for a mechanic that can think out of the box. Keep it up bro! You are the man!
Been doing this for years, but a little different. We use a pane of glass on a table gluing the wet sandpaper to it. Then, using the weight of the head, just move it in a figure 8 pattern... works great! Love the channel.
Love you and these videos. I was saved at 19 yrs old. 55 now. I've been working on cars and motorcycles the whole time. God called me to the ministry of the gospel, so I identify with so much of this. I just chuckle at myself thinking about the times I had to fabricate some tool or something on the spot!
my favorite mechanic on youtube man. I'm a mechanic of 10 years and love watching your vids. You really work hard and actually have some pretty good tricks up your sleeves. You actually show how to do something, unlike Scotty kilmer who makes useless videos with bad advice lol. I wish the best for you man, you deserve it.
@@andybilakshow260 No Hate All Love Brother...I got guys I work with I would not let touch my vehicle lol it is what it is every one has there opinions sure he's a great Tech and worked to be where He at just keep We grinding
Oldskool is cool....one suggestion on the heads. Use a very large magic marker to paint the head contact surfaces prior to sanding. The high spots will get worn off first and the low spots will be visible. The marker washes off with a little solvent. This will help get a flat surface at the cost of $2.00. Another suggestion is to shine a flashlight under the straight edge when checking for clearances. Go for light tight clearances....This may help things go a little easier. Great video. Do it yourself!
Brad Deal A better alternative is toolmakers blue marking ink. It dries fast and has a brush in the cap to spread it on thin. High lights the low spots. Got my last can at Graingers for $5.
Dyken blue machinist layout paint is better but he is trying to show kids that they can do this stuff theirselves. Everybody has access to a large magic marker and it works. Here is a link to machinist paint www.amazon.com/Blue-16-oz-Spray-Layout/dp/B002SLGAQ2
i think for that you would need a VERY true block - I think a machinist straight edge and feeler gauge criss crossing the head will show them too.. a dirty head works good too for this :)
I came for the repair videos for help with. a car I had at work...been coming back and sticking around for help in repairing my relationship with the father... Thanks
brother. thank you. I been inspired by your faith. I been wavering in my faith and getting caught up in the ways of the world, chasing money or success. I seen your video about flipping cars and didn't expect to be fed spiritually. Wow how God works! I'm going to get down on my knees and pray in the name of Jesus. thanks man. Keep smashing in the name of Jesus! much luv and respect...
The Real Robert Palma Amen brother! Get back on the front lines because this is spiritual warfare and if your heart is not right with Christ, the devil will handle and dismantle you. Read psalms 91 renew your strength and keep on SMASHIN IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME.
hundreds & thousands of auto mechanics are doing this technique and it really works, and you are right bro...million thanks to you for sharing your time, talent & videos... it really saves a lots of $$$money$$$ ....My the lord God blesses U always :)
I grew up with a dad that resurfaced cylinder heads like this. Thanks for taking me back and reminding me of my dad. Your positive and uplifting personality is inspiring. Keep doing what you are doing brother!
As a professional tech, i Endorse this video! Just remember as he said to sand the whole length or else you will have problems! GJ man I haven't seen this since i was young watching my Dad in his shop. Damn near forgot! -B
You go bro! King James only! Truth all the way ! Thanks for showing people repair old school and the good book too! Don,t get no better then the way you do what you do on your vids! GOD Bless us all!!!!
I did this to my 01 Ford Taurus 3.0 heads. They are cast iron, and were 7 thousands out. It took a lot of hard work, but this technique worked flawlessly! I have over 10k miles with no issues. Cost me $300 for the gasket kit, head bolts, valve seals, water pump, oil, coolant, and sandpaper. Bought the car for $300 because of the blown gaskets.
I did the same technique on my 1968 Morris Minor cast iron cylinder head. It was out by 4 thousandths- bulged in the middle. Except I used 120 grit paper, then 180 grit glued to the flat steel table of my pillar drill. Lubricated with WD-40. Worked fantastically well, the car runs better than it ever did, with noticeably more torque for getting up hills. Cost £5 for the gasket, and a couple of £ for glue, abrasive paper and WD-40.
The thick copper gasket on a Morris Minor will make up for a lot of the problems this clown is causing. Any NEW head gasket will cover up a lot of mistakes for a while.
hi, i saw your video about radiator cleaning a while ago, last tuesday i cleaned mine, thank you very much for the knowledge and encouragement, am unemployed now and you helped me save almost $200, and invested just about 1 and 1/2 hours. thank you! God bless you!!
Nothing wrong with doing it this way! A slang name for a big file is a "hand mill." Good to use a precision straight edge to check your work as you go. I do Harley oil pump bodies (and other small stuff) in a figure 8 pattern. You can put a little machinist dye, or scribble a sharpie on your surface as you get closer to see the low spots easier towards the end. Rock on, brother!
hello brother Im a Muslim watching all the way from the UK and regardless of what religion I truly appreciate someone that spreads the word of God. The world needs more people like you bro you deserve much more regocnition than this .. keep it up Mayn !! 🖒🖒🖒
I hope in the time since this comment that you've given some thought to whether or not a god is all powerful or all knowing if it cannot make a body for itself and doesn't have first-hand knowledge of what it is like to live and die as we do. I'd also like to ask if you believe we are created in the image and likeness of God, and why we can exist as a Trinity of mind body and soul, but God cannot? These are just some things that many people don't actually take time to think about.
@@jimjam5570 you are ignorant my brother. I am God's Disciple. I follow God. God is not a human body, he is not physical. God is WITHIN us. God is US. Our spirit, our mind, our body. When we ingest christ, [bread at communion] we are taking God in. We ask him for strength so we can do what we must as he intended us to do. We do good in all we do in life. We do not let social programming break our spirit, mind, and body. Our faith in god is not broken by todays society... if you want go be a soulless succubus God will grant you those pleasures. But if you want to have meaning and take strong spiritual journey that have physical rewards, FOLLOW GOD. don't disrespect our culture. We respect your meaningless lives, respect our strong faith. To my Muslim brother @Hakan Pacino , I respect Muslim. I want to convert to Muslim because I respect how much YOU respect god...I'm Mexican but I do respect all relgion..
Thanks for all the love and hate peepz much love and respect to you all. As most of you know this channel Glorifies my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Some may get offended but its straight up 100% me and I will not compromise and waiver my faith to appease the people I dont seek the praises of men nor do I tell anyone to click like or sub. I preach the word of God and my main concern is for your soul and heart to be right with Jesus Christ. God has blessed me with the gift of giving and thats what I will continue to do as long as im able to. Now I did say I only read the King James Bible and many will be offended by me opposing all other versions. I urge you to do your due diligence because if your reading any bible and or material that is not of God, you may be dealing with a false teaching that maybe cursed. I have done heavy research on the origins of Christianity, all the major religions and the historical writings and manuscripts of the King James Bible. So Im not just telling you what someone told me, I never believe anything until I get the FACTS and I am a research fanatic when it comes to anything this deep. The Holy Bible has always been under attack and the devil is responsible for ALL false doctrines so Remember this there are many verses that have been omitted and changed in the new bible versions and there are many false Jesus s in the world. many bible publishers who created new versions had to change 10% of the original wording to avoid copyright infringement, so they changed the word FOR MONEY, then justifying it by making/ saying its easier to understand, But jeopardizing the word of God and cursing MANY PEOPLE. Thats why God said "WHOEVER CHANGES OR ADDS TO THIS BOOK let him be acursed. Ask God for wisdom and discernment to understand the King James and if you are sincere and seek him with all your heart he will give you the understanding. Do not fall into the lie that no one can understand it, as long as you read it through his holy spirit you will understand. The reason why the atheist, scientist and prideful cannot get it is because they dont have the spirit of God guiding them to truly discern and understand. So they interpret through the eyes of the flesh and what they believe is right in their own heart because they dont seek the Lord with the right intentions. Do your due diligence and research on the first Greek translation from "Erasmus" who wrote the Textus Receptus, study all the other versions before the king James in 1611 know and learn the roots of how God preserved THE WORD up to now Dont letem foolya! King James Only God Bless.
Thanks my brother Oldskool funk. You are an enemy of confusion, cutting though is with the sword which is the Word of God. I love your videos and recommend them to everyone, you are helping many souls. I also am a mechanic and bible believer, King James only.
I'd like to ask you for some advice if i may. I have a 1993 jeep GC straight 6- 4.0. Everything is stock except for the lift and tires. It averages about 90 degrees here in the summer. I have recently been having some overheating problems. I had the water pump, thermostat, and temp sensor replaced. The clutch fan is supposedly "good". It has almost 200k miles on it. Its been taken good care of, oil changes, flushes, etc. It runs about 210 when driving but with the ac on sitting in traffic it will rise to as high as 230 or more. The radiator is the only thing left to replace really. It's using the standard 195 thermostat. I realize this question is rather redundant but, should i replace the radiator next? Any ideas what it could be?
Great video. I like what you say about not listening to others. Some say "you can't do that!" I guess you just proved them wrong. I'm rebuilding a ATV motor on a budget. Head is warped. You just saved me some cash. Thanks.
You know brother in Christ, you are a compassionate man. We can see and hear, you live in the presence of ALMIGHTY GOD, FAN THE FLAME, might never see you in this live, but we will meet in Heaven, God Bless you, from South Africa.
Thank you brother. My Goal is to go to South Africa one day and when I do I will reach out to you. Stay contending, and fight the good fight of faith Brother in Christ and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:20 “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
You are a great mechanic. Seeing these old school methods has been a great education for me. I love doing stuff myself and these videos are exactly what I need to see. Thank you.
I subbed. I'm hooked in my addiction my cars breaking down sister overdosed on h and my wife is in prison. I've been to prison 8 times and you spoke to my spirit. Thank you my man. I appreciate you
You´re going through very difficult times, it must be very hard for you. I wish you the best and hope that you overcome your addiction, the fact is that most of our problems that we get into as adults are a result of our behavior that has been strongly marked by the emotional scars that our parents or adults that took care of us when we were children, and they themselves went throughout this very same things and so on backwards as long chain of suffering. But the Bible gives us consolation that soon God will remove all evil and from the earth and still gives the opportunity for all human beings to search for Him, whose name Jehovah the Almighty God and He wiil let himself be found by you. Bible says in James 4:8 "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you indecisive ones."
2 months after watching this. I did it. Engine is a daily driver and runs like a champ. Just make sure you check your clearances like he said. I got laughed at for a while until they realized it worked.
@@byf4ith man have put over 2k miles on the truck since I used this method...all seems well so far...and my heads were pretty bad off and this still worked.
Beware, if the head is warped and you resurface it without straightening it flat first, or without machining the cam beds and caps, the camshaft could snap in half after a few thousand miles, or you could lose oil pressure. If you plan to have the car for a long time I would recommend trying a head gasket sealer product that you put in the cooling system if it's leaking there.
I'm originally from Daygo (San Diego ) South East... I'm currently living in Taiwan (15 years )... I learned auto mechanic from the states, but that was mostly books and not enough hands on... I was fixing cars here in Taiwan for over a decade with the originals (work with what you got), and this is bringing back lots of memories... I SALUTE YOU!... I miss fixing cars... I'm a teacher now, but eventually I want to open my own shop out here, and your VIDEOS are really inspiring... OLD SCHOOL...
Quick summary of the mechanical: Get 4 flat particleboard blocks. Smooth edges. 2 will have 80 grit, 2 150 (use wet/dry paper) Assemble blocks with spray glue and staples. Use oil on block/head and sanding block and bring it down to flat. Check for flatness on occasion. Wash sanding block as you go in water. On engine block make sure to cover ports to keep debris out. Use the 150 for finer finishing of surface. Mr. Old-school recommends copper spray gasket and MLS gaskets.
Hi brother. I love ur channel cause every episode you end up with something important about our life. Im a Buddhist but i grew up in catholic collage. I respect bible there is no question about it.i like brother we need more people like you to save this world. You are a inspiration for my life.im a learn skills from your channel please keep it up god will bless your good work.
WILL YOU QUIT? Whether you like it or not life is going to test you to see if you are as strong as you claim to be. If your strength is VALID and you have been tried and tested then life is still not done trying to break you and you will plow right through it. True warriors are not built during the happy moments, or when everything seems to go well. A solid warrior is built with strong character during their darkest moments when the Storm's of life hit hard trying to get you to fold, waiver your strength, and QUIT. You will see many drop and buckle during their test because they have no strong foundation and have not been conditioned to endure yet. If you know me, you know I always tell people to never run from the pain but to run straight to the pain and HANDLE IT! . The bible says the race is not given to the strongest, fastest or smartest but it is given to the one that ENDURES UNTIL THE END. key word is ENDURE. My foundation is in and through Jesus Christ, and no that does not mean I am exempt from hard times or heavy struggle, as a matter of fact I get hit harder and face a lot more temptation now that I have dedicated my life to living for Christ. But it only drives me to lean on God more and increases my faith. My point: Whatever your going through, establish your foundation and faith in Christ, don't ever think you don't have anymore fight left in you, refocus your efforts and get right back up and keep swinging because if you don't ENDURE through the pain, life will break you down one day at a time until it finds the quit in you. DO NOT QUIT KEEP ON SMASHIN IN LIFE! IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME.
hey man just wanted to say thank you. you came to me as a blessing I blew my head gasket on my civic. saw your video everyone said it can't be done I bought everything for 47 bucks and the gaskets for 87 saved so much money I was able to get the car running for less than the head would've cost me. again man thank you and God bless you.
You sir have really brightened up my day - you're a hoot!. We are COMPLETELY different people but we are brothers in Christ and I really look forward to meeting you in heaven one day.
I would say I’m an atheist and I appreciate the gospel. Thank you for all of the information. It’s completely free to influence lives for the better. Thank you for using your energy to promote positivity
To all you Warriors for Christ, be sold out and fully committed without compromising your faith in Jesus Christ, so you can't BE BOUGHT. In other words don't sell out, become immoral and live a Godless life that is contrary to the word of God. Selling your soul comes in many different forms They say every man has a price DO YOU HAVE A PRICE? Money Cars Sports Lust Fornication Adultery Pornography Homosexuality (Leviticus 18:22) Occultic New Age practice (Old lies) Drugs yes over the counter and legalized weed counts Alcohol Atheism Depression (it's a choice) Lying Stealing Gambling Many more Which one is poison to you? What ever one is your IDOL (weakness that consumes you and keeps you from God)Jesus can free you from the bondage of it. Do not think you can not over come any of it Jesus will always provide a way out. But you have to REPENT with sincerity and give him consent to overcome it. Time to SMASH on that which is causing you to fall, In Jesus mighty name.
There you go twisting my words up. Not going to work stay tuned in an learn what God has to say about it, but for now read Leviticus 18:22. Lets get this straight I do not endorse anything God considers an abomination and dont try to flip the scriptures and try to change the word of God. I have gay family members and they know I stand firmly for Christ and I love them with all my heart but I do not endorse their life style and they clearly know that. I dont hate any gay person AT ALL I got so much love for them that I am willing to take some hits to keep them from perishing in hell. Would you do the same? or would you assume and twist Gods word to make every body feel comfortable in their sin just so they can be outside of Gods will and go to hell. Dont get it twisted.
oldskool funk I understand what you are saying sir, how could any father not love all his children regardless of there Flaw's.. I believe no book should decide on how your relationship should be with God. We are all equal in his eyes and loved if we pay attention
Oldskool, I think you have some of the BEST videos I have ever seen on You Tube! This is the fourth one I've watched today. I just can't seem to get enough but I have to get out and do some work. LOL THANK YOU!!!!! Keep sharing the love!
THANKS, GOD BLESS YOU [A GOOD MAN] THE HATERS ONLY HATE THEMSELVES, YOUR RIGHT!!ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS,THANK YOU. IF WE ONLY HAD MORE LIKE YOU IT WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER WORLD!!
Wanto take time out to thank you brother. God sent me to your channel tonight. I needed that message more than you could possibly know. Im lost... but I feel God trying to show me the way. This world... its ugly out here and I'm 2 seconds away from giving up, but I realize God gives me the strength to overcome. Please keep spreading the word. You just saved a life. God bless brother, from the bottom of my heart thank you.
Calvin Harris You hold on brother and don't even think about giving up! You have fight in you still. You may be battle weary but God will never allow you to be tested beyond that which you cannot handle. The devil, pressures in life, and situations sometimes amplify our trials but hold on and call on Jesus Christ for strength to carry you through. He will provide just put your faith and all that is weighing you down in Jesus Christ, on your knees in repentance and the Lord will answer your request and lift that heavy burden of anxiety off you as long as your sincere. I will pray for you and you do the same also and FIGHT! in Jesus mighty name. God Bless
I your videos are you talking about the God a true man of the Lord that's why you are very blessed you and your family keep up the good work and God bless you
What the heck does the "holy spirit" have to do with this? Absolutely nothing! You are one of those people that say thank God I got the job. No idiot thank yourself for getting up and getting out filling out an application and going to the interview and representing yourself well.
I love your videos ..I know I’m responding to an older video just love the way you make your videos because you are straight and upfront ..God bless you and your family sir ..Please pray for me I’m replacing a head gasket ,water pump ,timing belt on my daughters car 2007 Hyundai Accent .. This is my first time so I’m trying to get it gone right the first time ..
Like the idea back when working in machine shop making airplane parts. .we used to put blue dye (brush or spray) on the aluminum part of the resurface area only.Try to find wet or dry sand paper 2000-3000 grit..need s to have sticky on back. Find a (glass or mirror) try to have it 1 or 2 ft longer than cylinder head. Then apply sand paper onto the glass w/sticky side down. The area of resurfacing your going to apply the blue dye. (doesnt take long to dry) resurfacing area on top of sand paper you should have 3-4 sheets, side to side..stuck to glass. take the cylinder head resurfacing area, apply it on top of sand paper. Move cylinder head back and forth with the sanding process. Remove cylinder head check the resurfacing to see if any blue dye..if so continue sanding. The glass is the flatest surface you can use and the blue dye will assist you of where the high and low areas are on the resurfacing area Please shoot a video when you try it.
I so appreciate the inspiration!!! I love to do jobs myself anywhere possible but I didn't even know this could be done by hand im currently sanding my own heads as I write this well on a little break but any how, you're awesome dude!! Thank you lots I also enjoy the words of encouragement and putting Gods words out there! God bless brother
Well I'm a sitting duck right now till I get the money to have them checked for cracks. I myself was going to sand them and inspect then put back on my dad has talked me into having them checked now I'm just waiting till I get the money to have em looked at. I really wanted to get your opinion on that?? Im new to any DIY mechanic work on auto unless it's the basics
People like to ridicule this, but back in your grandfathers or great grandfathers day, this sort of thing was common. Every machinist knew how to "scrape in" a set of surface plates for instance. You take three cast iron plates and machine them as "flat" as you reasonably can. Then smear one in Prussian blue. Place two face to face. The high spots rub off. Then use a chisel to shave down the high spits where the blue ribbed off. Now repeat with the third plate. Continue through all permutations of the three plates until the three plates converge to flatness. You can get to a thousandth or better across the whole plate. This was common. I bet back in the day they wouldn't even bother making it flat, they would probably have scraped in the two surfaces so they mate up, and call it good.
G’day mate I’m a professional Engine reconditioner and it’s great to see people like you showing people how to do things like head resurfacing at home. Good on ya mate .
Michael allen yeah it was .. and compression ratios were a minuscule fraction of what we have now. This dude is flipping cars after this shotty work... it’s a whopping 20-30 bucks to have it done professionally at a machine shop .. but what the hell does he care? Once the sucker drives off and he has his cash he doesn’t even think about what they’re going to do when they warp a head with a slow leak from this “old school” mulling procedure and get stranded somewhere after they foolishly relied on this tool bag to sell them a professionally repaired vehicle... also im pretty damn sure that whatever “perfect flatness “ as this idiot calls it, is nowhere near a precision straight edge you would get if you spent the 20 bucks on a real mill job...
I like how he didn’t count the amount of time it took him set up his ghetto ass work area.. it takes 20 minutes to hook up a furnace .. but it can take all day to all the pieces in the right place .. just an example of how shit works in the real world ..
I thought I was watching engine video... But got a whole lot more.. Thank you..just what I needed. I'm from southern Africa and things here does not look good.. You were sent to me by a higher power...
ok ok one of the best videos i have seen about resurfacing heads. love the disclaimers. the only way we learn is to get out of our comfort zone. that is me a master electrician learning how to rebuild a vw mk4 golf. thank you for the great advice on this
Man! Your movies are educational on so many leves: mechanical, DIY, spiritual! Great stuff right there! Respect from Poland! PS. I just read in one of your comments that you're using King James Bible, that's great approach, science, as I believe, many bibles has been altred in one or the other way. There were series on election on the subject of changing the bible, condcted by Walter Veith. I would love to read King Jackob's bible, but there is no Polish translation.
I am so glad I found this video because it turned out to be so much more! I am recovering from sepsis after bowel surgery and just watching youtube videos to pass time. I have been falling away from Christ and I need him more than ever. You are a great man and truly spreading the word. Thank you so much for your message!
good stuff brotha im old skool just like you guys like us never forget where we came from. the motto is TO BE OLD AND WISE YOU MUST FIRST BE YOUNG AND STUPID. we did our time in the pass good and bad but one things for sure we never forget and thats what makes us that much more advance because we are vice versa in life old and new skool which those young dumb guns don't know jack when things go wrong they wouldn't know what to do because of technology and because of the system.
There are many auto mechanics but only a few good ones If you were in Brisbane I would bring my car to you for repair all your videos are excellent. Just by hearing you talk I know you are a good man. God bless you and your family. If you get negative comments ignore them they are sadists.
My brother in Christ thank you for your video, I didn't even think to try this I am very impressed with your skills and willingness to share with us. Especially the word of God.... Thank you God has truly blessed you!
Thanks for trying to help, BUT DO NOT USE COPPER SEALANT ON ALUMINUM PARTS!!!! Copper will eat the aluminum up. Don't believe me? Look it up! But don't ruin you engine please!
I've been using it for years along with alot of people I know and there has been zero issue with it.. and by years.. 10+ lol.. same engine in on case so it's been checked.. also there are copper head gaskets.. no issues.
Why would they make it if it harmed more than it helped. The copper particles are so tiny they won't cause damage it's no different than a iron block against aluminum head. Yeah copper is harder than aluminum it can eat as in scrape or chip away microscopically at the aluminum because it is softer than copper but under a microscope I guarantee you the head gasket you are using has sharp points and jagged edges protruding and I can assure you steel is harder than both. When expanding and contracting from heat and cooling the mating surfaces move and rub against each other and the copper gives the mating surfaces something to grind at and the copper gets imbedded into the mating surfaces from the friction and in the middle of the embedded copper surfaces is you guessed it more copper so the thin layer of copper is taking the beating and not your head block or gasket.
@@j.undefined1666 You should work on that argument. You are going to have to explain that to Jesus when you meet him at your death, because you will meet Him. Hopefully He will not say "I never knew you" God Bless
That's a good old school method that really works. The only problem is people don't want to do physical labor today and that's why they are week compared to our generation. Great job brother and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
hey man really appreciate the info and the diy. gonna save me money and the hassle of dealing with a machine shop. think its awesome your trying to educate people about God. Truth right there. God bless brother
This video saved me $100 and a couple of weeks wait (for a machine shop)- my son and I are rebuilding his 4 cylinder camry engine and found the aluminum head was a bit too pitted to use as it was. I have a table saw with a good flat cast iron table. I sprayed adhesive on the saw table, laid 2 pieces of 150 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper end to end, sprayed with wd-40 and removed all pitting in less than 30 minutes work. Head is out by less than .001 inches. Much Thanks and may God reward your faithfulness.
