Forgotten '66 Oldsmobile F-85 Gives Derek & His Brother a Run For Their Money! | Roadworthy Rescues
Summary
TLDRTwo brothers attempt to get a 1966 Oldsmobile running that has been sitting for 10 years. They find it has been modified for racing and has a big block 455 engine. After installing a new ignition and fuel system, they try starting it but hear loud knocking noises. Despite troubleshooting several possible causes, the engine won't spin freely, indicating serious internal damage. Unable to diagnose or fix the issues onsite, they ultimately decide to load the non-running car onto a trailer to bring to a shop, where they'll have to pull the badly damaged engine out for inspection and rebuild.

Outlines
😊 Exploring the Abandoned Hot Rod
The first paragraph introduces the 1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass Coupe hot rod project car. It has been sitting for 10 years in southern Kansas. The narrator explores the car, finding it has been converted into a street/strip car with a roll cage, unique paint job, and large tires. The gas tank is missing, hinting at potential fuel system issues.
🛢️ Rebuilding the Carburetor
The second paragraph shows the process of rebuilding the carburetor. The narrator finds a rock stuck inside and decides to fully rebuild it using a cheap kit, in hopes that it will allow the engine to start up with proper fuel metering.
🚨 Diagnosing the Knocking Engine
In the third paragraph, they attempt starting the engine but are met with loud knocking noises. Further diagnosis leads them to believe there are mechanical issues inside the engine. They decide the engine will need to be pulled out to inspect and rebuild or replace it before the car can safely run again.

Highlights
Proposed a new deep learning architecture called Transformers that relies entirely on attention mechanisms, eliminating recurrence and convolutions.
Showed that Transformers can achieve state-of-the-art results on translation tasks, outperforming recurrent and convolutional models.
Introduced the concept of multi-headed self-attention, which allows attending to different positions in the input sequence.
Demonstrated the effectiveness of Transformers for language modeling, significantly outperforming previous models on key benchmarks.
Proposed byte-pair encoding for open-vocabulary translation, allowing handling of large vocabularies with minimal complexity.
Showed that attention weights can be interpreted as edge strengths in a graph, providing insights into how Transformers focus on different parts.
Introduced positional encodings to allow the model to retain information about token order, unlike regular attention.
Demonstrated that Transformers can be trained significantly faster than recurrent models by allowing greater parallelization.
Achieved new state-of-the-art results on the WMT 2014 English-German and English-French datasets, outperforming best models.
Showed the potential of attention-based models to advance the state-of-the-art across a range of NLP tasks.
Sparked significant interest and follow-on work in designing Transformer models for different applications.
Introduced techniques like gradient checkpointing and reversible layers to train deeper Transformers efficiently.
Demonstrated strong generalization of Transformers by transferring them to downstream tasks with minimal modification.
Created benchmarks and public implementations that accelerated research and adoption of Transformer models.
Showed the Transformer architecture has become a foundational model for natural language processing.
Transcripts
well guys way down in southern Kansas
where we picked up this 1966 oile f85 it
hasn't been running in about 10 years
give or take I'm going to try to get
this thing going and back on the road
again but of course first we got to walk
around it drink it up and see what we're
in for I think I'm going to start in the
trunk see if we got any you know engine
parts or anything like that tells a good
story great this will be
fun
now immediately you can see this has
kind of been turned into a street strip
car it's got this crazy bowling ball
paint and big snorkel and tires so I'm a
little nervous we're going to find like
head gaskets or something like that in
here might be the reason it was
parked oh that's
great found the gas tank that's
neat so I'm going to say we have a fuel
issue right off the bat so that's fine
look at this paint that's
wild wow they even did the underside of
the
thing well let's jump inside the
rig oh yeah oh boy smells like a
wristwatch full of ear wax it's uh it's
really different two things I noticed
immediately we got some sort of cage in
here okay
fourspeed
yes that is great news this was
definitely crudely cut in so it was a
auto magical transmission to start with
mileage
[Music]
8,945 nope we got a Grand Turismo wheel
I'm getting a '90s feel here we got
miscellaneous switches we got a radiator
laying in the back seat with a bunch of
empty uh wobble pop cans and a fair
extinguisher so the previous owner owner
definitely partied I'm going to tell you
that there's no ignition stick so that's
you know nothing new for roadworthy and
I'm going to have to move the seat if
I'm even going to sit in this thing it's
not Sasquatch size and based on the
radiator and fan troud I think we're
going to have a lot of work in the power
bar and see what we got under
there look at the bird eater on this
thing goodness
gracious yeah you know they used to be
pretty cool not so much anymore I
guess yes we got a big blocks 455
probably is looking like is oh we got a
radiator and the fan and the belts and
the whirly Woos and and all that it's
got hot rod parts and then headers it's
got updated music pipes I mean all in
all it looks to be really
complete so this car is sitting in a
tree roll from the guy that we bought it
from I want to try to get this thing
running driving off the property and
down to a neighbor's shop he's going to
let us wrench in there but I've got
quite a bit of work to do to try to get
this thing fired up so I brought my
brother Sean over and he's going to be
helping me out how's it going it's going
big block big block fourspeed like that
bowling ball uh big tires tires yes yes
so I think what we're going to do is I'm
going to try to convince you to lay
upside down and put an ignition in this
so we or wires or something to do the
starter I'll figure out Fuel and Spark
we can meet in the middle see if this
rotates see if we get this thing barked
off sounds like a game plan all right
let's get
[Music]
started so in order to get the old
ignition out you got to have a key to be
able to turn the tumbler and to press
the switch well we don't have the key so
I'm going to try to drill it
out or just push it all the way through
the dash and then pry all the Inns out
and put a new tumbler
in no pain no
gain I don't know what I'm
doing just keep doing it
okay what's happening in there
crank it see if it
works
barely but it works it
works boy she's drier than Bob Barker's
Skin So this old 750 Ed rocks just been
sitting too long the needle stuck and
the squirters weren't squirting so it's
not going to work I'm going to tear it
down just see if I could throw a cheap
rebuild kit in it save some money and
just use this old guy here you really
want to use a clean working
surface when messing with your fuel
metering device so this old fuel tank
should do the trick definitely a
calendar pose right here more lips more
lips push your butt
off
[Music]
what I've never seen a
rock actually make it through a carb
it's pretty impressive actually I'm not
even
mad I'm going to soak this thing down
toss this new kit here put it all back
together and then hopefully as long as
there's compression this thing should
bark right off and make some
noise got a ladybug hang on little fell
it's going to be a
ride so here's where we're at we're
ready to fire this thing up or at least
attempt to we've made a temporary fuel
system out of the old snowmobile tank
Sean's got that wired in with an
extension cord we got a kill switch in
the cabin Believe It or Not we've done a
makeshift carburetor rebuild on this
we've tested we've got spark so
theoretically if I pull this trigger it
should fire off here and make some noise
ready ready bring the
Thunders
nothing let's bring it
again
something doesn't sound good no sir I
think that's what you call a
[Music]
knock the battery is plenty
fine
help that didn't seem to work man this
is actually might be really bad why else
would they Park a beautiful car like
this
so we've got a very prominent knocking
sound coming from the engine it's like a
cabin screen door it's loud it's loud
yeah now it won't spin over at all we
got a wrench on the crank oh yeah she's
tight now yeah so there's something
going on got an idea
Sean what if this thing is like 42 to 9
compression theoretically yeah
everything in insides brand new lost the
receipts it makes 3,000 horsepower what
if we pull all the spark lers
out then try to spin it over get some
lube around in because then if it's
tight still we know it's not compression
it's mechanical interference somewhere
okay
[Music]
plan so I think what we're going to do
is try to hit a bird with five Stones
Sean is going to juice up all of the
cylinders filling full of Mary Mar
Marvel Mystery Oil we don't know what's
in it it's a mystery and while he's
doing that I'm going to replace the sad
cable on the battery cuz this thing's
smoking like a bingo hall and that way
we know we've got a good ground the
starter's getting all the juices we're
going to charge up the battery we're
going to have lubrications we're going
to try to spin it over again long enough
to where we can start diagnosing where
this knocking sound is coming from
because it is it's not going away it's
kind of like taxes you know what I mean
okay that's better right
sure it's this oil it's a mystery a
mystery yeah you can hear it
now oh my gosh you could feel it in the
pan Big Time water pump compeller or
something weird in there but why would
you feel that in the pan was the fan on
the alternator hitting the bracket no is
the crank hitting the timing tab no
could it
be the crank hitting the windage
tray I mean even if it runs we're going
to have to pull it can't run it like
that so now do we rebuild it or do we
find a 455 in a jet boat
somewhere it's not really a jet boat
season though it's
not
you can barely hear
[Applause]
it s so
[Music]
bad so we're still not ready you know to
accept defeat so we cut the belts off
and we're wasting more time hoping that
something other that's rotating is
making making the noise probably not but
it's worth a shot so if it still makes
noise it's crank engine related ready
ready okay okay all right yeah so anyway
did you bring any fishing poles it'd be
a good day to
fish well clearly the bowling ball OS
mobile have some issues we're not going
to be able to resolve them up here on
this Hillside this tree roll so I think
what we're going to do is try to throw
on a trailer get it over that shop that
we're going to borrow we're going to
have to pull this engine out and at
least take a look at the thing see how
bad it is do something but nonetheless
off the hill it goes into the shop it
goes
