It’s time to rebuild the engine that’s in the 1935 hotrod shop truck! This old 302 came out of a 1978 LIncoln. I’m going to show how to measure cylinder taper, out of round, oversized, and ring ridge with detailed explanation on how to use a dial bore gauge. We’ll also inspect the camshaft, lifters, pushrods, heads, and block. Let’s see if we can rebuild this at home!

Derek makes Saturday here in Australia alot more gooda. I can't get used to your red sneakers Derek, I feel like I need to dirty them for you 😅
These are my favorite kinds of videos on VGG. I always learn so many cool things! Derek is a great teacher. Thanks for another cool lesson, Mr. Grips!
Thank you Derek
👍
The only thing you didn't tell people is Ford uses over size pushrods to adjust their valves
Either they don't have Chiggers in TN or A Guy is way more of a man than I!
Thank you , thank you , thank you 🤘🏻VGG rocks 🏁
Amazing video Derek! You totally take the terror out of it.
I parked my very first car (70 Plymouth Duster 340) years ago, tore the engine down, and then decided to go to college instead. It's been sitting disassembled for about 30 years. Had the block bored .30 over, but it's since it's been sitting in a building with no heat it has rusted. Hope it can be saved. Would love to get my first car on the road again someday.
This was awesome!!!
Derek, you never cesase to amaze me with your knowledge!
Mr. Dereck I appreciate this so much you definetley took me to school my friend Ive always wanted to know this info and you explained it in major detail this is the kind of stuff everyone used to pick up from grandpa or dad and you just dont see as much of that now days, instead they charge you thousands of dollars teach you this type of work. and I had to go to work straight outta high in a factory and unfortunetley my gramps past on before he could teach me so again thank you so much for the effort that you put into these videos
Stroke it.
Great information and video!!!
i wonder if you can find a Fiat Zastava from 64, i tried to restore one but scrap it after all the fails
Well, now that I don't rebuild Ford engines anymore, you explained to me a lot of the right things I was doing. Didn't have the ring gauge, but I got to the point where I could get a good idea through feel, and my shop sponsor could verify what I thought. Learned a lot from this video though Derek. Thanks for taking the time to explain all that. Wished we had computers when I was younger.
That’s was one of your best engine breakdown videos!!
I was fortunate enough to find a 32 ford pick up in Meridian Idaho had a 49 merc flat head,I still kick my butt for selling it, zero rust bobbed box but everything worked down to the steering column light switch!
I've found valve lash buttons on a few late 70's 80's 302cid. On just a few valves
I’m still trying to get my mercury back on the road after 5 years.
I’ve been struggling with fuel issues and upper motor work but parts are hard to get.
All I need is a fuel rail with the fuel pressure regulator on the drivers side not on the passenger.
This episode is is a great help so thank you DB.
Also if anyone has any tips on how to work around that.or has a part laying around, I’d be more then grateful.
I got an upper intake manifold to raise it an inch to clear the regulator but it caused it to run rich.
Kinda hoped that worked.
You should also really find some e7te truck heads or the Ford explorer gt40 heads. Those smog heads you have are absolutely garbage
Great video, love the helpful explanation and instruction!
Fast and cheap valve spring compresser: a drill press or mill. I made a small jig that I put in the chuck. Then I just pull the head handle down with a quick swoop and done. Slide the block over (on a rag). Real quick. Use a metal jig.
Hey kid, Imma computer.
Yummy. Yea, pretty sure I bought a junkyard Pontiac 455, out of a wagon of course, that looked just like that inside. It was 1989, I was 18, didn't care. Dropped motor in my firebird, and ran the heck out of it. I had guts to cruise and girls to chase and stuff 🙂 Maybe a little light to light action too ..
Thanks Derrick. That was fun!
Put your lifters in order using an ice cube tray😊
YEE! Pure awesomeness! Typical Ferd! These heaps ate worn out before they reach the end of the assembly line at the fac’try, before the first start up! 😆😆😆 ya can’t shine a TURD 💩! Lol 😂 still an awesome clip! Thanks Derek! 👍🏻🤘👌
