Assembling & Running a Miniature INLINE 6 Engine! (Ford 300 Style)

Awful results. 2800RPM at idle.

It’s a real shame that having created and engineered items like this & at great expense to the purchaser that the manufacturer lets the little items down like a poorly designed water pump & having to re manufacture the distributor casing. Great videos as always. Thanks

Thank you so much for not playing annoying music during the build!!!!!

Thanks, that was fun to watch. Made me think of working on my '66 Dodge Dart with a "slant 6". I was lucky to have a good friend who was an excellent mechanic who taught me how to do a tune-up (new plugs, points, rotor, condenser, and distributor cap) most importantly how to use a feeler gauge to set the new points correctly. He advised me to always buy "racing parts", whenever possible (a little more expensive, but well worth it because they last longer). He taught me how to replace brake shoes and gave me the confidence to do it by myself. My next car, a Dodge Aspen wagon had the same slant six engine, so I saved a ton of money on car maintainance.

It’s actually great piece for any young enthusiast to learn how an actual engine is put together, from a smaller perspective. While yes it’s small, and parts may differ, one could learn how to put big engines together from this, all the way from tearing it down as well. It really gets to the basic fundamentals and functionality of how a big engine is built.

Having owned a couple of Ford 300s I’m a big fan of them, they are absolute brutes and damn near indestructible. I really like this one and is the best sounding engine so far.

As a long time owner of a Ford F-150 with the 300 inline 6 engine, and the 300th viewer to give a thumbs up, I think that the way the engine revved up during the break-in period sounded right.

I'd be interested to see you revisit the mini engine dyno concept to get an idea how performant these engines really are.

Not normally into these small engines but I learned a few tips and tricks on making my own gaskets. That alone was worth the watch. Thanks! Great editing on video also.

If the distributor is turned all the way in one direction to get the timing correct - just move all the plug wires one position the other way on the cap - and you'll be back in the middle of the slot. Thanks for the videos.

Would love to see a 6 to 1 exhuast collector, it would sound amazing.

Fun fact, building an actual ford 300 is cheaper

Hi, this is the first video of yours I've watched and what I love about it is that there is not the background music that one finds on so many youtube videos. Wonderfull, Well done sir !!

we definitely need more videos about this engine. Very common engine here in Argentina, since most classic cars here were inline 6 engines instead of the V8s

I wish these little engines weren't so expensive! I would love to buy one to assemble with my son so I can teach him how engines work.

Outstanding work and attention to detail! I wonder if anyone has created a miniature Lycoming aircraft engine to the level of detail as this straight-6? It would be cool to see such an engine at work on a 1/4-scale RC plane. Thanks for the video! As a retired 1st-class machinist, (tool & die, mold maker, R&D aerospace, hydraulics, etc.), I do miss some of the smaller, 'fancy', precision work that I used to mill. Rich

Proud owned of 95’ f150 xl two door standard cab l6 , manual,whenever I drive it I am smiling. Thank you for sharing and nicely done.

I love those miniature spark plugs. They literally looked like the real thing. These little gasoline engines fulfill to requirements. One, is entertainment for the owner to assemble and run. Two, is to annoy nearby neighbors with the constant revving of the miniature engine.

I love a good JohnnyQ90 video! Great sounding engine!!

I have rebuilt two car engines, as a lad, and never quite got everything to work well in the end... The precision and beauty of your builds is amazing to me. Gorgeous hardware, and great presentation! Thanks for the upload!
