They had a news report about company switching to a 4 day work week, not all the employees just some work 4 days and get paid for five days. Said they do five days work but only work four, then at the end of the report they admitted some work is shifted to people working five — so regular workers get piled on so some can become professional slackers.
They already admit not much gets done on Monday and people are slacking off by noon on Fridays, already a 3 day work week.

David Baldwin says:

great video, thanks I have a '50 ford shoebox with the 8BA. the engine runs pretty nice very peppy, have done a lot of work on the car to make it roadworthy but the engine only needed a new carb, and some marvel in the oil to free up some stuck rings. Being a Ford guy, gotta have a flatty in the barn.

oh damn its that guy says:

an you say…..BOAT ANCHOR?

Bought a 1932 flattie A few years ago at auction just so the scrapper ( he's a regular at these auctions) wouldn't get it. Paid 50 buck's also and got a bunch of extra parts. An old friend of mine was going to buy it all from me but got Covid and then a heart attack during his recovery so it's sitting under my work bench until he recovers or takes a dirt nap!
32's aren't ideal but if someone is restoring an original car it's what they want and this guy has several car's that have V-8 flattie's in them. I hope he survives I could use his bread!

boring video

Rear Engine Shop says:

I’m sure Duff could have got it turning if he wasn’t so busy with napping. Maybe he’s just waiting to go on a ride.

Paul Tank says:

See even Duff thinks it’s bad

gophersk says:

Good effort Mortske. Worth the watch. Thanks for sharing.

Paul Tank says:

I’m starting to losing interest in your videos because you are talking way to much.if you go back a year or so and watch your own videos you were better than now

Rusty Wrench Repair says:

I've done several of those ford 3 valves! Not a fun time! Great video as usual!
