Getting ready to start working on G. Swift's 1951 Commodore 8 barn find.
This 1951 is an extremely nice survivor.
The motor will need a complete overhaul. This is most likely the reason that kept this car off the road
The motor is out! Next is to tear it down!
After we got it out, we spotted this large snakeskin.
WOW! It's hard to see but there is more on the cross member.
It looks like its motor was ran extremely hot.
Most of the cooling system is packed full of mud.
Some of the valves came out with ease the rest needed a little heat.
When the exhaust manifold was removed a couple of studs broke, common. Doug is drilling them out before extracting.
Now it is ready for a clean to be evaluated. We found multiple crack valve seats.
Doug and G. Swift going over option for the motor.
It was decided to go ahead with this motor and have it rebuilt.
Now time for Doug's favorite part and remove all thirty head studs.
This is not an easy job and it takes a lot of time to remove each stud without breaking one.
