Hey man this series has been great. I'm planning my first rebuild and your videos have been very helpful. What work did you or the machine shop do to the cylinder head? Did you install any new parts to the valvetrain or just cleanup the original parts? Thank you for the help and these videos

I’ve been tasked with being in charge of that process. Never rebuilt an engine before, I’ve got a 1960 chevy truck with a 235 I’ve done similar repair/bandaid work over the years, but never wanted to commit to a full rebuild.

Stock bottom end with new rings and bearings, decked block, fresh ported promaxx head with bigger valves, small level 2 torque/towing cam from Crower pn 19211, already has a high flow exhaust system, also will get all ARP studs for good measure.

@@JeremyKamutzki I know right? Apparently there was an aftermarket distributor that didn’t fit quite right. It’s more like “shaved the gear down over 4 years until the teeth were gone” more than “blown apart” that’s my bad haha. I appreciate it though man. The craziest part is that this engine has 125,000 miles on it too. That’s nothing for a 300.

Hi Jeremy! You kindly responded to a question that I had some months ago. I have another one for you now. I just finished my Ford 300 initial cam break-in yesterday and thought I would have a little better oil pressure. When it was hot, it idled at around 10 psi. Later when I started it and idled, it was closer to 20. I’m wondering what your oil pressure is like?
@JeremyKamutzki4 ай бұрын
Good question. At idle I had around 20-25 psi I believe. At cruising rpm, I had about 45psi. I was running 15w-40 Rotela T4 diesel oil (extra zinc and these engines like it). Did you replace your oil pump? You’ll always have lower pressures once it warms up.
@MrWsGTORebuild4 ай бұрын

@JeremyKamutzki5 ай бұрын
Still responding to comments but not making much content now. To your question about heads… are you asking about the entire head being EFI, or the exhaust manifolds? I believe for either one yes they do just bolt right up. I have only done the exhaust manifolds. The one caveat to this is aligning them with the exhaust ports, as the newer efi head has additional dowels for aligning manifolds. Google this and you will find lots of discussion on it. I also believe the EFi head increases compression ratio by about 0.5

Old saying #218. "Oil and grease are cheaper than parts and labor." You have excellent work habits. A couple of assembly tricks I learned many years ago might be of interest to you. I accumulated a collection of various length bolts that I had cut the heads off. So I had a bunch of studs. When installing things like oil pans, timing covers, transmission pans and the like, after I'd cleaned the holes I would screw two or more of my studs in with my fingers. That would keep the gasket aligned and aline the mating quickly and perfectly. The technique is especially handy when the alignment is blind, as in water pumps with the engine and radiator still in the vehicle. Once I had a couple of the bolts started and snuged up I could unscrew my studs with my fingers. The other handy helper was, I had a bunch of firearm bore brushes from 22 to 45 ACP. The brushes are brass so I'd chuck them up in a drill and run them into the hole(s). Often I would finish cleaning the holes with the brushes and starting fluid. POOF! bone dry, no grease, no sparks. You do good work young man. Stay safe and keep in touch.

But I looked at your larger bald tire for your mountain bike and came up with this solution a $30 WTB ThickSlick Comp tire 700x2.1 on an old hardtail 29er which ended up being very stable and relatively quiet and a cheap solution. Well not an official trainer tire so I'm sure it'll leave residue at some point, I read the reviews of it and found several other people using it as a trainer tire. Thanks again for your KZbin post. I will say I'm having fun with Rouvy especially since I'm from Colorado with one home and they have so many of my training courses video taped as I sit on the trainer in my second home when I'm sitting on my trainer in the winter in Atlanta.

Great question. I did look into a parts kit, but it was a bit overwhelming, and there was limited availability as this work was completed right in the middle of the Covid supply chain crisis. I ended up letting the machine shop order all the parts for me, and they pieced together an individual kit. I suspect Summit or Rock Auto would have reasonable kits. You just need to know how much over/under your various components will be machined. I found it much easier to have a shop order for me. Cost a bit more, but I knew the parts would fit properly.
