Avoiding Catastrophic Engine Failure on Rebuilds — Follow the Oil (Ford Y-Block)

A fresh engine rebuild can fail in minutes if oil flow is wrong — even when everything else is assembled perfectly. In this episode, I break down the oil path in a Ford Y-Block, show why cam bearing alignment is critical, and explain how a single blocked or misaligned oil passage can destroy a new rebuild. Although this example uses a Ford Y-Block, the principles apply to any pushrod engine: oil gallery routing, bearing alignment, and verifying oil delivery before final assembly. If you’re rebuilding an engine, this is one of the most important checks you can do to avoid catastrophic failure on first startup. 🔧 Topics covered: – How oil travels through an engine block – Cam bearing oil hole alignment – Common oiling mistakes during rebuilds – Why “it spun freely” isn’t enough – How to verify oil flow before final assembly This video is part of a multi-episode 1955 Ford Thunderbird / Y-Block rebuild series.
