when i went to college to be a auto mechanic i would of given anything to have your videos shown in class there so educational

[@korykimbrell8676]

I appreciate how vivid and we'll put together these videos are. People seem to overlook this type of quality. I'm just one guy, but I enjoy your videos and hope to keep seeing more added to this channel. Thank you for all the work you put in

[@Hagerty]

Kory - Much more quality to come. Thank you for watching!

[@asarand]

Actually, I would love to see more of the assembly process. That said, this is awesome. I look forward to seeing the finished build starting up in the Camaro.

[@crazyusmc2]

Great video amigo. Some 30+ years ago I helped my older brother rebuild his 396 on his 67 Camaro. Brings back a lot memories. Look foreword to hearing it fire up.

[@daviddefortier5970]

I remember a while back you guys rebuilt a motorbike or 2... Please dont ignore the bikes. I want more

[@MrSpektra]

It’s a joy watching you do this Davin, keep up the amazing content!

[@Hagerty]

We will. Thanks for watching!

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

The clay is a good idea , Gives you peace of mind just knowing it's all going to fit up and have clearance .. AWESOME .. ENJOYED !!

[@benmartin3180]

I love these shorter breakdowns of little thing involved in building a motor. Good stuff guys

[@Hagerty]

Ben - Thanks for watching!

[@MrEyad1990]

There is nothing more fun that watching you cleaning parts . So clean them goooood

[@Hagerty]

You got it!

[@georgewarmowski6881]

I tune in every day, so far I have enjoyed all of the builds. Keep up the the good work.

[@Hagerty]

We will! Thanks for watching, George!

[@vettekid3326]

Dave it sounds like you need to add a low oil level sensor to the oil pan to warn those drivers that don't check the car out properly before driving it. Also a low oil pressure ignition cutoff switch to prevent all the bearing & valve damage when the pump was cavitating from low levels or windage problems.

[@mynameis9057]

Lol! In other words, make it idiot proof. I know right, can you imagine owning a beauty like that and not checking the vitals? Sacrilege to me,sheesh! ▪☆☆☆▪

[@rustyaxelrod]

Would have been a great time to talk about valve seats and valve grinding. I assume the seats are 3 angle and placed properly. A quick lap with some compound would have been a great illustration for a basic and important part of head building. P.s. I’ve noticed you have skipped quite a few steps that many people do in different ways. I understand attempting to keep the argumentative comments down but this has been a great series of videos and now it’s missing some basics. Some people are gonna bicker no matter how generic you try to make it. For myself, I know there is more than one way to do a good job on a lot of this stuff and I enjoy seeing new ideas.

[@racer67]

What a great engine the 396!

[@code3kc]

This guy has so much knowledge. Entertaining and educational

[@mosesonamotorbike3393]

longer videos please 🙂

[@DBSSTEELER]

With the roller cam the ramps will be much more aggressive than a flat tappet cam so that will help as well.

[@lawdawg1942]

Can't wait to hear this thing fire up. Hope they put cameras front, rear, and interior so we can hear it all :P

[@randyd4658]

I learned so much from you I've always like to build an engine right now I'm putting a head gasket on a 1996 Tacoma four-cylinder.

[@bigdog5405]

Would like to hear more detail in the explanation of the build. Talked about clearance. How and what do you measure to determine if your in tolerance. If your out of tolerance, what is the remedy.

[@markg7030]

He showed how it's done when he smashed the clay then measured it. If the clearance was not enough he would install a thicker head gasket. He also mentioned other options if the new valve seats were not the same installed height as the old ones.

[@GlassTopRX7]

There are loads of videos that show that. If you compare some of the types of builds like stock vs a race build you see how easy it is to turn the crank by hand vs more typical build.

[@s.r.sautomotiverepairs8806]

Love your videos guys. Great job. Can't wait to hear it run again

[@Hagerty]

Seth - Coming soon! Thanks for watching.

[@go06bolts]

Love the videos guys! Keep it up!!!

[@GlassTopRX7]

Cool they did address the cam. Stock that engine mystifies me as it really performed no better than the 4bbl 350. For that matter the 350 was just as quick as the Z\28 high strung 302 when not order with high gearing. To me a modern cam that delivers similar idle quality to stock was the right move here, it's fairly cheap, can easily be reverted back to stock, and delivers L78 like power, likely with a bit more low end torque with those heads. While visually looking stock.

[@drew7767]

I didn’t see a video covering cam/lifter selection and install. Is it coming?

[@pb3033]

No problem, interesting details.,thumbs up !

[@irritablearchitect]

I think it's interesting that the historic problem with the BBC is being covered here; the lack of adequate valvetrain stability for a larger cam, largely due to valve springs that came from the factory with something like .398" max lift height. Pretty sad. Surely, nothing bad can be said about the rest of the engine. Even the oval port heads are quite good, and the canted valves of the BBC, as well as other era-spec designs, is a proven method for increasing flow. Really can't wait to hear this engine fire up!

[@edwardgonzalez4420]

You went from a .040 to a .080 thou head gasket. Did you compensate for the intake manifold to cylinder head alignment? Or was it because the head and block surfaces were cut down? Just curious cause I’ve seen engines with internal oil seepage through intake gasket when this is done.

[@MrYuriaffonso]

Hot updates, show the valve head side rsrsrs, make a leak test ?

[@hoffbug]

What are you going to end up with for quench with an .080 head gasket?

[@vhp454]

So what are your cam specs. I am using a ZL-1 cam in my 396 and i have square port heads . I have been pulliing 612 hp on the wheels. Just curious on your roller cam specs

[@HairBandDan]

Too bad the owner didn't throw on aftermarket heads. Would've been cool to see some modern heads on it and the gains as a result

[@HairBandDan]

02honeydew yes like some Edelbrocks or Brodix Aluminum Heads, them cast heads just weigh to much that’s why I sold mine !

[@02honeydew]

@@HairBandDan For real then add in revised valve angles and better valves/springs/retainers and ports and you got a winner lol

[@HairBandDan]

Yes nothing like big block power

[@HairBandDan]

Cool video but them heads belong on a shelf, put some nice new aluminum Edelbrock Heads on that big block soo it can BREATH!!!

[@j0sh368]

yes first

[@FYMASMD]

Pinhead. Yes!!!

[@mynameis9057]

Did it take 5 hours for the short block trash bag reveal today? Lol! Do you suffer for others art? Lol! It's so pretty! Love that new block break in smell , ahhhhh. Its funny how different engines from the factory coming off the same assembly line can turn out so different from each other.1 can be a screamer yet the next one can be a dog. Rug it! Oh,yeah,and check the freakin fluids huh? Especially with a nice old beast like that,sheesh,lol! So 425 horse you say? How much did GM sandbag the horse numbers in the first place back in the day anyway? What, it's over already? Too short, we long videos,just like the women like lots of foreplay! Lol, we're not the microwave kids here. ▪☆☆☆▪

[@GlassTopRX7]

The stock L35 325hp 396 was not underrated if anything it was over rated, in stock form arguable worse than the 4bbl 350. Even the L34 350hp 396 is pretty underwhelming in stock form when compared the L78 which was underrated after 65' making a legit 425hp. In fact the reason the L78 375hp engine was an unlisted option in 70' was because it's performed significantly better than the LS5 454 That is why many if not most people have little respect for the 396, originally most were the 325hp version and they dogs.

hahaha the cough is the best of the video! congratulations

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Dummy assembly should be done before the engine is final assembled. Checking every thing. Piston to valve, ring gaps, crank oil gaps, cam timing. Then everything properly cleaned and lubed and assembled The hammered valve was NOT low oil pressure but either a hammed rocker reassembled or maybe the oil hole in the pushrod/ rocker burred over. All of these old engines need to have the rockers replaced. Replacement tin rockers are cheap as are many roller rockers as well. Those 080 head gaskets? Remember the originals were 020 steel shim so it will be a dog with no comp. Worse those lumpys putting the fire out on probably less than 9-1. Use shim head gaskets with flat tops,, you will have far more comp and power.

[@improvisewitme]

Can I get Davin to rebuild my engine? Is there any info out there?

[@Hagerty]

Unfortunately, we do not offer any repair services to the public. We only do mechanical work in order to make entertaining videos. Thanks for being a fan!

Davin, what on earth is going on with that Moses-parts-the-Red-Sea comb-over attempt up front? Just own it (the receding hairline) it's not a biggie.

[@brentonk461]

500hp, ? with the work you've done & the right camshaft That thing should be capable of 580-600hp

[@roknroy1]

does't .080 gasket kill quench?

[@n8rivera74]

I think he mentioned in a previous episode that with the pop-up pistons he's running, compression is a bit over the 10:1 he wants to build to. I bet the 0.080 gaskets help him bring the compression to where he wants it.

[@roknroy1]

@@n8rivera74 yes, but thicker head gaskets bring the piston further from the combustion chamber reducing efficiency, but he is right it is a cheaper way to lower compression

Just think off the emissions produced by the mining of materials for batterys and the emissions of the factory and see which one produces more.

[@Airwolf1971]

Yeah that Camaro when he is finished wouldn't beat any stock Tesla. So what? This Camaro is NOT destroying the planet. LOL Where you people get these crazy ideas at? This car will be used for pleasure on nice days maybe a few weeks a year at most. This Camaro is not going to be a daily driver racking up 18,000 to 22,000 miles a year. The Tesla you love so much will put out far more pollution over it's life time of use than this Camaro will, after this rebuild is done, until the end of time.
