I've built... I don't kkow... 50 engines or so in my life (I was a full time mechanic for 20+ years) and all I EVER used for build lube was Valvoline 30 W mixed with STP... and I never had a single problem with any of em. Of course I'm old... and build lube was just a hope in those days.

Great job team. We have been doing BB Mopar engines since '72. Please check the end play on your crankshaft with a dial indicator. #3 Main bearing is the thrust bearing, which is where material is sanded off top/bottom bearing halves/sides to meet specification for end play, which is .004--.007.

Can't wait to hear this engine come to life! 11:41 "lift with your back, not your legs" 😂 good one Danny. I've never lifted a crank shaft and by the looks of it, I don't really ever want to, lol. 18:33 Danny you reminded me of Bob Ross when you were talking through the silicone dab on the seals and block 😂. Looking great guys, thanks for sharing! 🍻

Really cool video..gnarly speed shop! I look forward to Tuesday's for whatever you guys post. I really liked Liv's history lesson on Magu rock with the old pics.The California " mystic" just comes to life in your videos! Liv is such a sweetie, when she was welding the charger door and blew a small hole and said- I am so Sorry- to Danny. I used to TIG weld stainless fittings together for 30 yrs. Some of the best welding laid down were by the female welders! I am retired finally at 66 y.o. I watch Nicks garage and he had an engine that the rear main seal was changed out like a dozen times. I liked watching Danny do such a great job on yours..fingers crossed it wont leak. Look Forward to all your future videos and Thank You for all your hard work!

He sent me video of his buddy's LT-4 (650 HP 6.2 LS, supercharged) and while it sounds good and pushes about 100 hp more than the 427, it's just REALLY hard to compete with the sound of a big block with a big cam! Being a Charger fan, I'm excited to see what this build is going to end up as.

Just wondering you forgot to mention if you were looking for roller lifters or flat tappet OG lifters. Isky makes the best of everything.. And you didn't mention the cam spec's - is it going to be advanced 3 degrees for tork. Because it's a torque monster. Not a LS 7k rpm screemer.. .

Can being a little tight on the new the assembly lube takes up most of the clearance between the camshaft and the bearings creating a slightly tight feeling
@pegbledsoe89933 ай бұрын
Next time to make your build go easier after you check your crank and thrust clearances remove the studs so your not focusing on not hicking the crank when your putting it in. You can also just RTV on the upper seal retaining area and install the crank and seal then re-install the studs and main caps, torque in proper order and then install the lower seal retainer as you did (vert nicely BTW) I would suggest less RTV between the upper and lower halves of the retainer the seal needs a certain amount of crush to prevent a leak. Hope this helps

OK.... and then I caught the engine rebuilder who takes the engine to a machine shop and adds a liner to a cylinder, changes the heads so that they'll accept roller rockers, sleeves the lifter holes because in these engines too much oil is passed through the lifter assemblies and it starves the rods... so he resized the holes and sleeves them... and then reassembles the whole thing using technology that wasn't even invented when I did engines! I mean using valve spring keepers that're made to change the height of the installed springs? Never heard of it but it makes real good sense. You might pick up something out this one too. It's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoDGi6x7adl1frs BTW this is a FGord 351 that came out of a Pantera that has been in a barn for 30 years or so... and that's what it's going back into too.

I don't know if you both have ever been behind the wheel with that much hp and torque and your foot into it. If you have, then good deal, if you haven't, take the time to get with professionals, two things about having a high-end hp and torque, that I found out in the middle of a four way intersection in Carmichael ca. the fricken whole back of my 66 GTO, spun one hundred eighty degrees faster than you could say QUICK, and oh sh##!!!! I got lucky, I didn't hit anything, the second one, that I will tell you about is, at one time there was a speed shop in Vallejo ca, Bailey speed shop, and a dude with more money than brains wanted Bailey brothers to build a 600 hp engine for his son who just got his fricken drivers license, Baileys was against the idea, however, the father paid for the entire bill, God only knows how much that cost, well, a week or two went by and on a tow truck was the 67 camaro resembling a horse shoe, ROOKIE DRIVER floored it all the way going on to the freeway and with the steering wheel turned to the left the car went to the right and slammed into the cement barrier. The father wanted Baileys brothers to restore the car to mint condition. Their response was, "NO!!!!! be careful.
