After connecting the valve train last week, Davin sets to work this week getting the lash collection. It's a fairly straight forward procedure when Davin's not stumbling over what shutoff is the exhaust as well as what one is the intake. After that, we placed some oil right into the body as well as just had a small crash in the process. Things are slowly beginning to find together for our Buick, so be sure to remain tuned to see this negative kid up as well as running.

I’m dying to hear this thing run, the suspense is killing me
@irritablearchitect how’s the ignition timing? Must be different than a typical V8, don’t know about the crank separation also. Would like to hear something like this running
@irritablearchitect V8s have a “wub-wub-wub” at idle, but Straight 8s don’t – just a steady, smooth idle. Being used to, and liking, the V8 sounds, I was really impressed with the smooth idle of my first Straight 8.
im tired of been drip fed content i need gratification too !
Big Tony. Me too man, me too!
I’m hooked on this straight 8 series! Supreme
@irritablearchitect so will a well built/tuned Ford flathead.
My sisters rambler had a straight 8. Took forever to build up speed up hills where I lived in San Francisco.
That water pump contraption ! Extra gaskets , sneaker tools and good times to service/maintain when everything else is installed.
Beautiful motor
That is slowly turning into a massive engine… 😂
Does anyone know what the clear permatex stuff is that he’s using? The actual part number.
75151
What a beautiful engine! In those days you could open the hood of a car with a couple of friends and just look at the engine and talk about it for hours.
That stopped in what year you think? I’d say 95.
Sweet Build… I wish my dad were still here on this earth to watch this. He liked the Straight Eights…
My dad talked a lot about the Oldsmobile straight 8 which I assume to be similar or the same as the Buick, he said you couldn’t hear the engine running.
Lovely. The motor in my ’58 Buick was a V8 “Fireball” 364ci Looks like the same enamel colour too 🙂
Great work. That straight 8 is going to run beautiful.
Is that an oil pump in your pocket, or a you just really exited to get this thing running?
Cannot wait to hear this motor run! The motor looks great!!
Did the exact same thing last week trying to prime my big block
Squirted all over me.
Thanks Davin for makin me feel better LOL
Haha been there too.
Ya havent built enough engines if that hasn’t happened.
It tried to pee on him and tell him it was raining 🤣
Here we witness the Buick Straight 8 marking it’s territory.
Hilarious!
The first thing you decided to wipe was engine and not your pants 😀
Oil squirts from engine and gives an embarrassing look. Grabs towel, and wipes motor block before anything else. True mechanic!
Sounds like me and the missus. Wait, what?
you know you are a true Petrol Head when you pee oil
“That’s interesting that it squirts there.”
LOL
Blows Royal Purple all over his pants and shoes, looks, wipes off the engine first. Yeah. That’s Davin!
That’s a true gear head. Don’t want oil to stain that beautiful new paint job, pants can be changed lol
I am really enjoying this rebuild, for several reasons:
* Davin narrates like a normal person (no hype).
* Straight 8 engine is unusual.
* Everything is clean, and engine parts are beautifully painted.
* Top notch camera work & production.
Kudos on a great video, and I can’t wait to hear this motor pushing a car around!
