It’s time for another Redline Rebuild time-lapse video! You saw us pull our 1950 Chevrolet 3600 truck from the woods earlier this summer. And you watched as we attempted (successfully!) to get the rusty, grimy inline-6 engine running before we dismantled it. After a few small issues with a cracked head and an oversized piston, our little Chevy 216 Stovebolt engine is finally back together with a fresh coat of paint and ready to be fired up (for real) for the first time in decades. Watch the entire process unfold in our unique Redline Rebuild style.

It'd be better if you had more interaction on the channel with team
I know nothing about mechanics, on a scale of 1-10 ( 10 being the most challenging) how hard would this be to do?

Hagerty I found you and watching the rebuild.
Cool
Awesome
Makes you want to follow spare parts and line up behind them.
Finally, someone else has discovered that a cheap wood chisel is the best gasket scraper.
Crusty start,indeed!!
❤❤
😍👍👍
My boss has a 58 I'm tasked with reassembly and I'm motivated to do a budget engine paint job on.
NOTE: The engine is a rebuild crated from the early 70s
Awesome. One of the best shot videos.
Anyone know the tune in the background?
I love the bluish color they used on that stovebolt engine. Anybody know the name of the color?
Many Thanks / Greetings from Poland Daniel SP6QKX
Amazing restoration!! And the time lapse is just amazing!! 💪💪💪
"Let's Go Go Go" by Tigerblood Jewel. Perfect soundtrack for this.
As impressive as all this is, I can’t wait until combination engines are a thing of the past. Electric cars don’t need all this useless machinery and are so much more efficient. The future is a bright one!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
👌👌👌👌👌
Best production video on YouTube ive ever seen hands down. And the music is so good aswell. Great Job
Must be a good feeling when it runs smoothly after the rebuild
Engines used to be so basic and simple!
That exhaust sounds absolutely horrid.
Обожаю этот канал прям как будто сам там
What’s the first music sound name awesome rebuild inline 6
outstanding😁🌟
Great Time-lapse! The camera crew and DP made this video top of the line.
На эту работу можно смотреть бесконечно!
I would let Davin perform dental surgery on me
What a great job you did to restore that engine to better than new. I am going to start a 1940 rebuild here this year and this will provide a fantastic reference.
Любовь механика к старым моторам, восстановление их заслуживает уважения. Операторская работа на высоте!!!
As a mechanic. I would have to pressure wash the whole truck before I took the motor out… Drives me nuts…
Insane video WTF 1000/10
8K downvotes? Some people just don't like to see perfection I guess.
5:40 how do they keep the critters out of these things? Attempted the thought of imagining an aged 2020… wires and plastic…
I just got a 1951 3100 I need to discern what engine I have in it. It is an inline six but not a 216 because there are no studs coming through the valve cover. Where can I find the casting numbers on the block?
AWESOME !!
WHY do they call this a stovebolt motor?
This is insane. Amazing camera work too. Wow
Love the video!
As my friend and I found out in 1968, the trick with a 1953 Stovebolt 6 is knowing how to line up the crankshaft timing mark and the camshaft timing mark. We put the marks together which seemed obvious but turned out to be incorrect. The engine was exhausting through the carb. Live and learn.
Мрію у Вас працювати😘
My uncle is always rebuilding those motors… been doing it for some time now.
Honestly I thought the piston ring packets were oatmeal packets lol
Best video I ever watched
@3:39
So satisfying to watch this! Loved the film. You guys are amazing.
does anybody know what song they used for the beginning of this video?!
