Engine: Petes Garage youtube 1962 Studebaker Hawk engine removal and overhaul

[jim0899]

Hello,
This is my first post so I hope I'm putting it in the right location on the forum. Pete's Garage (youtube) has just begun a new series of videos about removing and rebuilding a 289 Studebaker from a '62 Hawk. He begins with removal of the engine, then disassembly and inspection of parts. This series is not yet complete, but I thought it might be interesting to all Studebaker owners.

Pete from Pete's Garage approaches this in a systematic and orderly way. He is very meticulous and thoughtful, with lot's of tips and technical advice.

I wonder if it's Pete's FIRST Rodeo?

[what huh]

Very VERY interested in this, I hope he completes the series.

Dude you just made my day Jim!

I've watched and enjoyed his approach. As proud owner of 63 Champ 289. Currently working on sputtering ignition.I haven't got it yet.

[what huh]

Looks like there are a bunch of videos already,... (popcorn stat!)

Anybody know whose 62 GT Hawk that is?

[PeterHawk]

It is my 1962 GT Hawk - Pete Bishop and I am NOT the Pete in "Pete's Garage"

You have got yourself a beautiful Hawk sir.

How's the progress coming along?... Pete (pete garage Pete) said that part were going to be at the machine shop for a few weeks

[PeterHawk]

Parts cleaning, Magnafluxing, machining, balancing and assembly all being done at the machine shop, then back to Pete's Garage for final assembly then dyno testing and tuning. Reinstall into Hawk and back on the road. I am hoping this will take some time so I won't have to store the car for the winter snow season.

Really informative series. Thanks Pete

Methinks.... YES!

I wouldn't want him working on my engine...

[PeterHawk]

What have you seen that makes you say that?

[GrumpyOne]

Zero knowledge regarding Stude engines paving the way for mistakes in re-assembly etc. along with increased labor costs.

I always recommend mechanics with at least a familiarity with the Studebaker design/function to minimize surprises...

[PeterHawk]

What should I look for that would indicate problems down the road?

I have the same question as peterhawk.

I saw a well organized guy doing a disassembly.

What is so different that a engine builder would have trouble building an engine?
