Great build video! I've been running a 2.3L TVS blower on my 392 since 45k miles. I am now at 90k miles my internals are bone stock and I am running 6lbs of boost tuned by Hemifever. I run dead nuts even with bone stock Hellcats (Non Redeye). I do plan on doing the Mahale and Manley drop in's at some point probably with a custom blower cam and up the boost. But the way it is now it's been a rock solid, fun engine. One note on the 6.4 rods, they aren't just powder metal like the 5.7 rods. The 6.4 Rods are "Sinter Forged" they take the green metal part and partially sinter it then they beat it in a massive forge press similar to how old school forged rods were done. They are quite a bit stronger than regular powdered metal rods, but probably not as strong as an old school forging.

I just got a challenger with a 2.8 kennebell with about 7psi peak. Also has long tubes and full exhaust. I have been babying it after reading about boost killing stock internals. I am installing a wide bin and will likely get it returned. Hopefully it lasts a little while like yours.
@IhateYoutube7 ай бұрын
@@ChevyTwins 7PSI is 100% fine on a 6.4 as long as the tuning is good. Bad tuning can blow any engine from any manufacturer. The more boost you run the more cylinder heat you create and once the temps get too high the rings collide and that's when the tops of the pistons come off. But 6-7 pounds on an intercooled supercharger with solid tuning has no issues. Anything above that is a crap shoot.

The reason ARP fasteners are so pricey is due to the wear on tooling that is the result of the material the fasteners are made of. High nickel alloy such as their 625 plus offering as an example, requires hard turning and tool inserts live a very short life before having to be replaced. If you're spending $150 on inserts to make a set of bolts or studs, you have to pass that cost on to the customer or you'll be out of business in a hurry. Just sharing some insight as people outside of the manufacturing industry honestly don't realize what costs are incurred behind making high quality parts. Cheers!

Do you think it was worth blowing it up twice before going forged? Was it so you didn't blow up this motor while experimenting with the new set up? Or did you just want to see if the stock bottom end could hang? I enjoy watching either way, i just honestly want to know why you didn't skip straight to the forged bottom end
@ReignitedAuto8 ай бұрын
Honestly a lot of it was money related, these forged kits are super expensive. But also, yes I was originally convinced the stock bottom end could handle the 14psi of boost I was trying to run. And the first time it blew up was ring land failure, which is on me for not opening up the factory ring gap enough. The second time it blew up it was a mechanical failure, likely broken exhaust valve. So I still think with proper tuning I could've made it live at 14psi with correct tuning. However I'm getting tired of taking the engine out all the time 😄. So this time I figured go all the way and spend the money. If it blows up this time I'll be rather upset 😁

I'm not saying they aren't overpriced but, if you knew the manufacturing process and equipment for those arp studs vs common hardware it might make a little more sense. There's more engineering than yu may expect in choosing the right type of steel, how much larger they may or may not be able to make the hardware, and the tooling for making those studs since there's certainly a lot of different lengths diameters and theead pitches. On top of that arp isn't cranking out millions of these like common hardware so it costs a little more per piece than a huge volumn common bolt producer.

Unless I do a phaser limiter or lock or change out the pistons like you did with larger reliefs so I have more piston clearance for the bigger cam in order to retain my vvt allowing nasty low end tq and nasty high end hp? Why sacrifice if the tech is given is my train of thought. Does anyone know where or who has a cam like this or at least point me in the right direction? thanks.

They are super tight. What I usually do: on the sides of the main caps near where the bolts go in there are small openings between the cap and the block. I stick a pry bar in those openings and use light pressure to push the main cap up. Usually doesn't require much force, and those openings aren't a bearing surface or anything so it's OK if you make a mark on them. Be gentle and work both sides of the cap evenly it should pop up. 👍

Love the extended videos and man those parts looked purrrty. A few tips that might help the viewers (Please let me know if I'm wrong with any of these though). (These are not criticisms at all, just things I like to do that seem to help me) 1. The rear main seal gets put on dry. Not oiled like you may want to. 2. When using plastigage you want to make sure not to rotate the part at all, once torqued down, otherwise the "smear" will get wider, which will fool you into thinking you have a tighter tolerance. 3. When I gapped my rings, I used a handle, and for the first one I did, I counted the number of turns as I "snuck up" on the gap I wanted. Granted everything is different for each ring, but the point is, if I used 100 turns to get it where I wanted, instead of rotating it 10, re-measuring, and so forth on the remaining pistons, instead I would do 70 or so turns to get me closer, and then start measuring. If using a drill with a fixed speed, I'm guessing you could time it instead and do the same thing. 4. Not sure if the aftermarket pistons are the same as stock, but not only do you need to get the connecting rod facing the direction you want relative to the block, but some pistons are not symmetrical with regards to an offset for the wrist pin. So most pistons have a dot or arrow on the top that points to the front of the block. So when assembling your rods to your pistons, you should check both :) 5. I like to measure everything and record it in an engine build book. That way, if you're using a junkyard block/used parts like me, and something comes up later on, you can look back and say "Oh yeah cyl #3 had a bigger piston ring gap, so it's probably the one with more blowby". Or, if nothing else if you sell the engine, it makes for a nice set of records for the new owner. 6. When I put the pistons and rods into the engine, I like to rotate the block so the top of the block is completely vertical so when I drop the rod down into the cylinder, it doesn't want to drag on the side of the cylinder (And it equally wants to drop right into the crank if you also rotate the crank to TDC for the piston you are installing. I agree on the ARP stuff, it is too expensive. I like to use the cheaper chinese knock offs, which have been tested for LS engines, and is honestly no stronger than stock. However, they are not torque to yield, so you can re-use them. It would be nice if someone came out with a set of knock offs that are still decent and about half price. I like to see the differences between the LS and the Hemi. The LS has more durable rods and pistons, but the head bolts and main studs are really small and course-threaded compared to the much more stout Hemi stuff. The 3rd gen LS reluctor ring is a press fit which stinks, because not only do you have to heat it up to pull it off and swap out a new one, but you also don't really have a reliable way to clock it.

@SPRcluley ya the aftermarket options are crazy expensive. Good news though, the timing covers will interchange between all models of the Hemi. 5.7, 6.4, 6.2 they will all bolt up no problem. Two things to keep in mind, it needs to be a 2009 or newer timing cover, and whichever timing cover you get make sure you buy the matching accessories (crank pulley, p/s pump, alternator, ect). The only one I would say not to buy is the 2010-2011 challenger timing cover, it's a weird one off that mounts the accessories slightly tighter than the others. Hope that helps!

After many years, vehicles, and hundreds of oil changes,... as I was refilling the engine with new oil I inadvertently poured in a piece of the foil that seals the container. It was a 5 quart container and a piece fell into it. I saw the piece go in, but unable to retrieve it. Any thoughts on whether I should "really" worry about it or anything you can explain on the oil path from the refill spout down to the oil pan that may help me sleep at night? If the piece makes its way down to the oil pan, I know that the pickup screen will keep it there and may even flow out at the next oil change.

Is it ok not to balance crankshat for the new pistons and rods?
@ReignitedAuto8 ай бұрын
According to the website for MMX: "These will match factory specs for balance and will not require any balancing" 👍

Keep in mind powdered metal rods are actually strong as hell and nothing actually wrong with them. For your application though, yes the Hbeam is definitely a stronger choice

MMX is the G.O.A.T. website. Their 5.7 stroker windage tray was such a huge win.

I dropped a valve seat. It didn't get destroyed yet. It did kiss the piston a little. But I think the head can be repaired and get it back on the road. What should I do while I'm in there? If the time isn't right for upgrades. Should I just get it driving or upgrade the other head at the same time and delete the MDS? On the cheap too, because I already spent too much money getting this engine back on the road and I am almost tapped out. Hence the reason its not ready for upgrades. I just need it for its original reason as a winter car with power.

Well if ones dropped, the head needs to be repaired but the others seem okay why mess with them especially if it’s on the other head. I believe hhp or mmx has a kit for it with everything you need I want to say I say it. However you’re gonna send the head out to be fixed just have them put it in and or advise you based on the damages they find. That’s my advice but I’m no master Ase mopar mechanic I’m just some dude who does his own work at home 😂 so take it for what it’s worth. Should be enough info to get you to a subject matter expert who is willing to give you the exact info you’re looking for. Hope that helps some, take it easy.

I'm an old school engine builder, never got into the new technology but lovin' it all. I want to thank you for using the correct term of "Foot Pounds" and not pound feet, every time I hear that, it like finger nails on a chalkboard.

The VVT system on these engines are controlled by oil pressure not the computer
