I bought a basically new k1 4 inch stroke forged crank for 400. 100% worth it

Looks killer ! How do you check the internal endplay on the stator ?

Cool stuff. Make sure to emphasize the importance of not going to neutral in a TH400 at a high driveline speed.

I love this so much, spread the knowledge!

Wow, its really happening. I excited to see how this goes. the look to have a really strong program going on there. That is a way kool dyno. and a really big area to learn in. Way kool. Be well.

Why don't you add a dc variable speed gear motor to the rear of the spindle. Then you could tack and weld the converter in 2 minutes. Study plc programming and you could do it automatically.

Have no fear, shift them gears. that suckers gonna fly just fine. I have faith.

That has center counterweights. Are you sure it drops in to normal blocks?

Dude, I hope that polishes up. But it's yours, and in your hands. Well done.

What about just having a small squeegee with a in cabinet holder?

Yeowzer there cowboy. That was a full on ramble. crazy parts score, kool new to you tools and a really nice lookin fire. Bright future next week, and hopefully a chance to educate others, don't be discouraged if they aren't as enthusiastic about the wonderful world of fluid dynamics as yourself. holes in sheet metal don't appeal to all. But chin up, there is always hope. I hope you enjoy your time in Tillamook , and be well.

This is me, asking for a parts list

I am not Mike.

That was a whole lotta stuff. sad that some of the discards can't be re machined and salvaged into something. But in a production effort I do understand. Doing the right thing for a customer, is always the thing to do. Sometime you don't have to get your ends all fattend up, but most folks just want a fair shake. Good stuff here. Thanks for sharing. Be well.

Switch pitch on a Th400. Who woulda thought. Good info, thanks Doug. I'll probably never build a 400, but knowledge is knowledge.

Did you check hub runout after welding?

"Self care" LOL

Im guessing the only down side could be the water gets nasty smelling like coolant did back in machine shops, but since its water, you could just literally dump it off after settling and save most of your glass beads, let them dry out and reuse.

Love that idea on the wet blaster! Can't wait to see it.

Sounds like budget items are now being considered. Fancy cleaner on the way.

way kool, seems to work just fine. Is this instead of the parts washer, or ? Not as messy as I thought it would be. Be well.

Yeowzer dude. Great tips, Sounds like a killer plan. Mini Vay Kay. Yep. You are worthy. Be well.

Man, that's a lot of stuff in 17.35 minutes. intense doin's. killer score on the blast cabinet. Thanks for sharing.

Love to see repair instead of just replacing.

Yeah buddy. gettin outta the rain today. good catch on that turbine blade, The fix will really help that. Be well.

I'd strongly consider welding anything you need to before brazing, probably don't want to be running TIG over bronze or brass braze trying to get it to welding temps, you'll burn the braze up and that ain't good for you or the braze

I may be the only one, but I don't watch VGG, what is the VGG clear thing? Eric is a great guy. Used him for years. Stopped by his place one year while I was attending Holley class.

Well, it don't look so bad. are you doing the underside of anything? be well.

Cool deal!!! Good you found the causes.

Congrats Pancake!

Well crap, just bought some Clevite bearings. Probably won't get to them for awhile. Hope they aren't like yours were.

Can't wait to hear that LS7

More good news! I hope it continues to shine on ya> Be well.

Hell yeah.

Have you done a 4l80 with the EA billet transbrake valve body? If so, did you have a good experience with it? I've been thinking about running one on the street. I like the idea of no electronics, and maintaining 4th gear lockup.

That is one happy lookin puppy. The block looks good , and sounds like things are goin proper there. Sun's out here gonna be a great day now. Be well.

I think this time of year, most of us get our "winter" plans together. Sounds like you have your list together and it sounds like a good one! Can't wait to see your LS7 go in!

Great news, Doug. Looks like it's coming together. Be well.

Beautiful truck! Soon as I find my 63 big back window project, I will need to come and get another 4l80 from you.

Looks great Doug! I can't imagine bringing that truck anywhere around my place to get someone to do a alignment on that. I struggled to find someone to do my S10 with drop spindles and coilovers. You would have thought I brought in a spacecraft. 🤣

Nice n quiet. you are getting old. what are you going to do with all that HP. you can't hook it to the ground, can you? do you still have a line lock/roll control on that thing? Be well.

Great to see things moving along. No much like having a great sound under your backside. You are fortunate to have such friends. Be well.

I love your channel...when you dont wear a hat......who wase first , you or the easter island statues....i hope you dont get mad at me..❤

That is some heavy lifting know how right there. A lot to consider. Nice hat. Stay away for tumbling. Be well.

Great content. Keep it up Doug, and thanks Charlie 🤙

Im glad it worked out. And the price was right.

Thanks Charlie!!

That was pretty kool, and to find a affordable tool for testing is really kool. Thank you for sharing.

Note to self: Stay away from LS7 stuff

Can you put a camera inside while its running? Or do a Garage52 and make a transparent housing, and add mica powder to the fluid to see how it flows. Love from the abyss
