@@aserta I agree from a practical sense it isnt worth much, but the r&d and machining alone can ramp prices of these little parts quickly.

It’s actually great piece for any young enthusiast to learn how an actual engine is put together, from a smaller perspective.

It really gets to the basic fundamentals and functionality of how a big engine is built.

Thanks, that was fun to watch. Made me think of working on my '66 Dodge Dart with a "slant 6". I was lucky to have a good friend who was an excellent mechanic who taught me how to do a tune-up (new plugs, points, rotor, condenser, and distributor cap) most importantly how to use a feeler gauge to set the new points correctly. He advised me to always buy "racing parts", whenever possible (a little more expensive, but well worth it because they last longer). He taught me how to replace brake shoes and gave me the confidence to do it by myself. My next car, a Dodge Aspen wagon had the same slant six engine, so I saved a ton of money on car maintainance.

[@petersipp5247]

I put the efi exh mnflds on my actual 300. The difference in power is stunning!

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

Inline sixes, back then, were carbureted and the exhaust manifolds were cast to create a hotspot underneath the intake so the air-fuel mix would be vaporized. Also, the one piece exhaust manifold was cheap to cast and quick to install on the assembly line. Performance was a very secondary consideration for those engines. Ford DID make a special high-flow exhaust manifold for its Heavy Duty versions of the 300 six but, they are hard to find. The HD 300 was often found in F-350 and larger trucks, small and mid-sized school buses, and other applications where it would be running at full power almost continuously.

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

@@BlackPill-pu4vi The regular has a angled dump exit, while the HD had a more straight down exhaust dump exit.

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

@@petersipp5247 They are severely breathing limited, you can get twice the power with a mild porting and blending, better intake and carburetor, and the EFI exhaust manifolds. You can get buy a 4BBL manifold with coolant inlet and outlets.

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

@@TheLionAndTheLamb777 Yes, the HD manifold had more interior volume which enabled surprising flow performance and the downward exit was sized for a 2.5" pipe instead of the usual 2" pipe. But, the engine bays of the bigger trucks could accommodate that. Putting one in a F-150 or comparable van would require a special mandrel-bent exhaust head pipe to make it fit and flow properly.

You should also look at building some type of an alternator or generator for it so it doesn't need an external battery to operate... just an idea, but it would be something interesting to see you build.

Not a supercharger driven off the crankshaft, an actual turbocharger using exhaust gas to spin the compressor.

Water flow from the pump looked fine. You don’t want water to move through the block too fast or it won’t have time to absorb the heat.

This is why thermostats are so key. I knew people who would yank a thermostat in the summer so their 350 would run "cooler". I thought to myself, that's not how it works. Will it cool? Sure. But common hot spots in certain engines will certainly run hotter.

[@armLocalhost]

That's not how heat transfers works. Higher flow will increase cooling if the bottleneck is not enough thermal capacity, but if there's enough higher flow won't do anything.

[@adamr9215]

@@armLocalhost You are clueless, aren’t you? It’s a proven fact that it was a how things work, you just don’t have the intellect to understand it. It used to be common in the automotive world for people to remove a thermostat thinking it would make their car run cooler, it didn’t. The operating temps look lower, but as soon as you stop the engine, temps will rise all the way to overheating. It takes time for heat to transfer, so the coolant has to move slow enough to absorb heat. Same with v8 jet boats, a restrictor is run instead of a thermostat to slow the water enough to absorb heat. Don’t run one and you will overheat and seize the engine while showing low water temp. So, try again when you have an idea what you are talking about. I’ve been an engine builder for 30 years and know what I’m talking about.

For the headgasket, instead of just metal you might try a multi-layer steel design. Do three/four layers that add up to the stock gasket thickness, and maybe so a very tiny bead of silicone around the oil and water jackets like OEM MLS gaskets do. Would account for expansion and etc, and would seal great. Also, for the leaky gaskets I see, I'd honestly just use some RTV. A tiny smear, to be nice and smooth, let it get tacky, then clamp it down and dry for 24 hours. Then it shouldn't ever leak again.

This model costs more than my first and second car combined. I don't think I'll ever be putting one of these together, I have real cars that need work before I get time to play.

[@wilfredotuzonrps13]

Inline 6 even in miniature form sounds so good 😅 they need to make an RB or JZ miniature

[@mikeLOL45424]

The engine kit is over $1,200 in case anyone's curious

Funny story: I worked at a fabrication plant back in the mid to late 90's and forgot to scale a drawing I created of a valve cover. It came out 6 inches long and about 2 inches wide! 😂 I never heard the end of it!!😂😂

[@Gearz-365]

Wonderful engine build as always, Johnny ⚙️

[@werner0prinz]

Wunderschöner 6-Zylinder in Miniausführung. Was für eine Präzision, bei diesem kleinen Motor.

[@dudevinci]

so what do you power with this engine?

[@alexsz.6530]

RC cars

[@steflogh3431]

You could put it on a bike

[@bluemike807]

That’s like the cutest little belt ever. Like the one holding my broccoli together from the grocery store.

[@92fsoakcreek]

Im interested in how the crank gets lubricated? also the head showed no lubrication at all, except the grease you applied. How long is this engine expected to last ?

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

The crank is probably splash lubricated. The head and cam gear probably has to be periodically greased.

Had several of these around the farm. Never once killed one. Everything else fell apart around them. We had one in a 80s F250 we used for field spraying. Sprayer and a 250 gallon tank. Hot summer days in would get so hot, the engine would seize. We would wait an hour or two and it would start right back up. Finally took the rear end out. Was not worth fixing. Motor still ran!

[@Calthecool]

If I assembled this I would definitely accidentally strip a bolt or two.

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

That's why you see the use of a torque limiting driver for a lot of them, that's the clicks you're hearing when he's tightening screws, it reaching it's torque limit. Not getting cross-threaded bolts may also be a fun task lol

Skill issue

[@MulettoMotorsports]

Hey there, I'm from Argentina. We have inline 6 doing 9.800rpm in a class called Turismo Carretera. These used to include the Chevy 250, the Ford 221 and the Slant six. They've been replaced by similar engines manufactured entirely here.

[@MrCaprinut]

Liked that engine. Would it not rev more freely with the lighter flywheel?

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

Lighter flywheel would likely do that, but may come at a cost to balancing or the smooth operation in some small ways, so short answer is definitely yes, by how much? Who knows. What else would it affect? Hard to say. The rotating mass affects more than just the ability to rev quickly, so it could be fine, or it could have drawbacks like necessity for higher idle speeds or things like that.

[@buggerlugz6753]

Much more solid build this one, you can see the quality of components is a huge leap than previous, it certainly sounds a more torquey motor.

[@zacharysant1443]

1300 dollhairs and doesn't come with everything? You are seriously joking right?

[@strawhatdabber]

Nah, mommy and daddy buy everything for this man baby.

[@L-CAR9]

*Dollars

[@zacharysant1443]

@@L-CAR9 I know how it's spelled. You've obviously never watched AvE.

[@CantonSecurity]

Making this into an inline 6 weed wacker or hedge trimmer would be SICK.

[@Graves-81_69]

These little engines fascinate me. I wouldn’t mind getting into this

[@tarstarkusz]

NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS? ARE THEY INSANE? This kit ain't worth a hundred Dollars, let alone 900. You can go buy a real engine at a junkyard for that kind of money and have hundreds left over for a new gasket set, bearings and other miscellaneous stuff.

[@jasonbone7033]

2nd time here on this channel. It’s just a pure joy to watch the assembly of this killer small engine! AMAZING! Thanks!

[@littlereptilian7580]

1300$ for this... Lol no

[@werewolflover8636]

I know right? Thing cost nearly as much as a fully built normal sized engine!

[@staticcorvette5998]

Needs some sick headers! That would look and sound gorgeous

[@kennethjanczak4900]

hahaha.... really like the experts choice... great video.... Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it...

[@jamespassas9441]

Those little pistons are so cute!
