I'm trying to find a YouTube video of a old-timer on here. I can't believe I'm drawing a blank on his name because he's a well known engine builder I think in the northeast region. I'm not even sure if he's still with us.

Anyway, the video takes place in his garage/shop with what looks like a meeting of about a dozen flathead lovers. And he gives an impromptu overview of the oil lubricating system of the v8. Any help is appreciated.

I believe there's two parts.

That would be Walt DuPont. "Flathead king" Walt passed away awhile back and is missed by all who knew him. I have two of his engines.

VeryTangled posted three YouTube videos on 9/9/2012. Do a search and it should come up.

Those videos are excellent, just watched them for the first time. He was a very smart fellow and knew the flathead well from what I can see. Thanks for posting the links!

Thanks Guys, I don't know how I forgot his name, he was such a wealth of info.

And thanks for the links, I tried to search but without his name I couldn't find them.

I wish we had more like these from all the old guys who have gone from us. It would make things a lot easier.
