Questions for the chinawall part, you used rtv, it's there a reason you didn't use the actual rubber gasket seals there? I'm still learning I've only ever rebuild motorcycles so sorry if I'm not in the loop

@@DavyJonesSN95 hi Jacob. Welcome to the channel. Thanks for the compliment. Nobody I know uses the rubber gasket. It just crushes out and introduces leaks, period. I don’t care if it’s vice grip garage or engine masters, they use rtv. Make sure you let it sit for at least 15 minutes before you out the manifold on and then only tighten the bolts a little. Wait another hour before your crank the bolts to spec. You’ll never have a leak that way. Also, like I do in the video, put a super thin layer on the engine and the manifold mating surfaces. It helps the bead grip. I don’t know why it works, it just does!

Great job. Tho I would suggest in the future not paying attention so much to torque settings on valve lash and more feel as no every engine is to speck . I may have missed the head install but to be sure to use sealant on the head bolts that go into the water jackets and that goes for the 2 bolts on the water pump as not doing so could result in a broken stud with future repairs. The timing cover only needs etc on the seems when it neeeys the oil pan gasket . Also in the future just get a ford Motorsport or racing timing set as they are cheap and eliminate the guess work as week as bolts from apr . Was a fun watch throughout

Thanks Jordan. Great advice all around. I did use sealant on the head through bolts . I have the engine running now that I’m almost done with the build and I have a nasty leak from the driver side valve cover. I’m thinking I need to ditch the cork gaskets

Hello, how high to you plan on Rev this Engine? I have used cork gaskets on Intakes for 40+ year on 400 HP SBF's & never had a problem! Also if you use gasket sealer maker, you should use 3 all threads studs in 3 corners of the Intake to Guide the int. down onto the gasket maker. If the Engine is out, I port gasket match the Int. to the Heads. adds small amounts of extra HP. I'd paint the valve covers HT Alumin Engine paint to match the int.

Hi Matt. Did you have any type of machining work done on your heads or block before reassembly? I have a 93 F150 5.0 and I’m planning on rebuilding it. It has about 260,xxx on it. I was just curious how much I need to do on this rebuild.
@danielwilson66659 ай бұрын
Hi Daniel, I can’t speak for Matt but you should do the research online or buy one of the printed manuals that covers all of the specific details involved with rebuilding your small block Ford. With that many miles on your engine, I assume that you plan on doing a complete rebuild. Skipping the basic machine work just to save money is risky at best and not checking the bearings for the proper oil clearance is just asking for trouble. Find a good automotive machine shop to do your block and heads. The block deck surface and heads could be warped from overheating. Both surfaces need to be flat from end to end to ensure proper head gasket sealing. The block surface also needs to be parallel with the crankshaft centerline so that all of the pistons are at the exact same height in their bores at top dead center. The cylinder walls are probably worn and will need to be bored and honed if using new pistons. If using the old pistons with new rings, the cylinders will need to be honed to restore the surface crosshatch pattern for oil retention and for the new rings to seal properly. The crankshaft needs to be checked for straightness and the bearing surfaces inspected for excessive wear which would require them to be resized and fitted with oversized bearings. If the pistons or any components in the rotating assembly are replaced, the whole assembly will need to be rebalanced by the machine shop. With so many variables possible, the bearing clearances need to be checked during assembly. The plastigage method works but I prefer the accuracy of precision micrometers and bore gauges. With the heads having so many miles on them the springs and probably weak and should be replaced. If the valves are good enough to be reused, they should be reground along with the valve seats in the heads for a good seal. These are just a few of the things that can be done. There are a lot more. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to engine building. Blueprinting isn’t required but it’s the best way when performance and longevity are part of the plan. Good luck with your project 🏁.

There will always be wear marks on a cam. If they aren't rough to the touch, I'm not 100% sure yo uneed to change it. If you change the cam you need to change the lifters too. If yo uneed a new cam, I feel like Comp cams is probably a good option. You can call them and thell them what you want and they'll spec a cam for you. Just don't go too aggressive with it becuase the more HP the cam makes the less fun the car is to cruise around.
