Watching your techniques. What's the grit of the hones ? I take it that the eccentric movement is normal. Just used my dial bore indicator on a cracked 4.7 Chrusler rod that spun, and now measures .003 out of round, so paperweight ?

I'm getting my new pistons put on today.i sure dont mind spending a bit to have it done right.

Same here. Would like to see how the rod hone works. 👍

For people doing this out in the woods what temperature would the small end be when it's ready to install.

Does centering the rod on the pin matter ?

LOVE YOUR VIDEO👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️LOVED YOUR PROCEDURE 👍👍👍👍👍LOVED YOUR EQUIPMENT 👍👍👍👍👍👍

So rods are fixed to the piston pins? If so, angle should matter a lot, right?

Awesome video. Thank you! Subbed. 🤘🤘🤘

Great vid just wondering after resizing do you still use the stock size bearing ?

Why bother to spend the money for the bolts and then also pay the labor to install them and re size them ? wouldn't it be better to just buy a forged set of rods ? I mean if you were the machinist and just your time or a buddy doing you a favor the cost of a set of bolts is a no brainer but SHIT who wants to pay machinist labor rates for a marginal upgrade that is vastly inferior to just getting a low cost set of 4340 rods ? Now I can see where a shady machinist would push this upgrade because its mostly labor and if it fails he gets a repeat customer that needs a lot of expensive engine work done. This is like telling a crewman on a nuclear submarine that sinks to the bottom of the ocean to simply take a deep breath and swim to the surface .. no worries

800hp turbo junkyard motor enters chat: 😳

Have to disagree with the power ratings. I’d say 600-700 with decent tune is about the cut off where you’re not rolling the dice. But plenty making more than that for a long time. Crank is good for far more than that. Although it will start to flex around 1000+. Which isn’t good.

What's that table called

I have both electric like yours pre propane faster and cool them down with WD-40.

I don't like these rods lol but im a gen1 guy still so.... 😆

Does rotating assembly need a rebalance when changing stock pistons to new flat tops

What would the temperature be when it comes out of the heater? Really enjoyed your video…it showed me a lot. 👍🏻

Never seen the kwik way hone before. I have always ran Sunnen. Will it run Sunnen mandurals?

I like the shop tour. I have had a few of those ph2000 seat and guide machines

I've got that same heater.

Your explanation on how to set your wrist pin made absolutely zero sense.

How much time required for heating small end ?

Hello! Did you measure a temperature of connecting rod's head after heating?

I didn't understand about the chamfer part.

Great

This is a good, professional, "I can watch it in front of the family without little kids having to learn new vocabulary" kind of an educational experience. Been working on cars since I was 12, and I'm in my mid 50s now, and didn't know this machine existed or how to use it! THANK YOU!!!

I have no idea how to use these tools, BUT I WANT THEM. Carpenter by trade.

Thanks man appreciate that! Idk who keeps thumbs downing my videos lol always just one thumbs down. Probably a hater that’s jealous of my success I suppose lol. I love it!

Nice set up bro.

Nicely done, great machine I've had to use a torch sometimes when I didn't have the machine handy too many people on the internet trying to show people how to do things when they don't know what there doing

Getter done bud. right on for the video where are you located?

The recent upload of the shop tour looks good 👍🍻

Lookin Proper! Way to go!

Nice shop. Lots of great equipment. And, I can tell you know what to do with it. Nice old-school vibe. I grew up in my grandpa's speed shop doing the same stuff. I own my own CNC machine shop now. But, I definitely miss the old days in "BooPas's" shop. Thanks for the tour!

9:48 Van Norman Perfecto Boring bar - I got 2 of those ! First time I've seen one in a video !

Looks good

where you located

Thanks dude.really helpful

Nice work bud, looking good🍻

For those deck torque plates, do you need to buy a lot? Like for every engine manufacturer? Or can you make your own with a drill press? I can’t imagine headbolt patterns match maker to maker. They wouldn’t be that nice lol. Great video love the setup

I learned how to resize on a hone like this👍

Right on man, keep up the good work. I have been filling my garage with machinery also. My day job is a journeyman machinist though. So I am working on multi million dollar machines all day. Makes my home shop look pretty lame lol. One day we'll both be in our shops full time🍻

Do you ever do work other then engines?

neat shop man

Enjoyed the tour though.

You got to make videos

I want to buy this machine...plz suggest the place where I buy this one..

Great video! Time to start new ways to machine these rods. Incidentally some of the correct 350 engines also use powdered metal cracked cap rods. What do you charge to resize those??

Thanks Again for the Awesome shop tour......would be a dream to do/learn the stuff you know..... when you have time can you show use fitting valve guides? .......cheers Brett
