bargain bin used tty head bolts and m12 stubby installation

[@WhiteTrashMotorsports]

I have reused my head bolts at least 5 times, thank you Matt if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a turbo LS on a Terminator

[@TrashPandaGarageYT]

same here

[@JonnyCap]

You definitely missed torquing one of the head bolts on cylinder 1, but I'm assuming you only did that to trigger us 😊

[@andrewwhalen25]

Classic Matt is back! I love these style videos! I’ll always watch no matter what though 👍

[@cwmotorsports4497]

Thanks for the videos man!!! Love the old sloppy style.

[@Nate-oh1wg]

Old school KZbin style videos make me happy. The ol sloppy, slapping together an LS jammin to music without a million adds or bullshit sales pitch. Sign me up. 🤙

[@codemanrose]

I missed these days, it’s like we stepping back in time. You dirty devil.

[@blackwellm23]

Oh you are to zesty with these old school matt videos. Tty boots used head gaskets and rambletron=gold

[@dnchevyguy3]

Just a heads up for everybody, a lot of LS9 head gaskets over the last year got made with “front” printed on the wrong end. Pretty much all the major brands of LS9 gaskets come from the same company that makes the GM gaskets, so be sure the end with the holes for coolant to pass through get installed towards the rear of the engine.

[@wobblysauce]

Hate to be that guy that made the woopsie.

[@justasbc]

Dude, I owe you a drink. I had never heard of this before. I put my heads on and tightened the bolts down, and played this video while doing the final torque. I saw your comment and scratched my head. I bought 3 sets of gaskets years ago and checked the other gaskets. Sure enough, they were printed wrong! I pulled the heads back off, and you saved me. Thank you for your comment.

[@vintagespeed]

driver's side head, 1st headbolt under cover... :) he's just chillin', no stress....

[@Karadon1969]

Yep I watched it twice and he did miss the first headbolt under the valve cover on the driver's side.

[@boostkaboom7912]

RIPD, I freakin love that movie. Feelin frosty time to get your snowman on icey hot.

[@YLTMauto]

I usually use one washer with each old bolt. Works lovely.

[@patlandymore7035]

Ps. Currently building my third home spun turbo project ( second turbo LSx Foxbody). In between was a turbo big block Chevy Factory Five pickup. None of them would have happened had I not found your KZbin channel and learned about 6 years university worth of knowledge. Thank you Matt!!! 🍻

[@BlaserBuilds]

The BTR gaskets were in a bin waiting to come down... According to PA mythology 😂

[@Hogdog970]

ah the day the music died. dave mathews band also is kermit

[@brianhenderson685]

You forgot to torque the head bolt closest to the waterpump outlet. Cylinder 1 top left bolt.

[@wobblysauce]

sssshhh

[@sailingjazzy8272]

Adept Ape did a torque test with various extensions and as long as it is not an offset type wrench - the torque was very very close to no extensions used.

[@MrBtmatt]

Rambletron on spot. Numerous chuckles

[@thatturbotruck]

I'm switching mine to ls9s now. Pushing water anything past 15psi on my sbe 5.3. I reused the head bolts Soo many times a buddy of mine gifted me a set of arp bolts. But even they couldn't save the coolant pressure lol 20psi 17° on e85 fairly conservative still pushed water fingers crossed the 7 layer ls9s do the trick and nothing is warped lol.

[@tptrsn]

All-motor fairmont with a properly sloppy L33 and a 4L60e?!?! This is the exact sort of shenanigans I subscribed for way back when. Lol

[@RacerXGarage]

It's bugging me real back that you missed the top front short bolt in cylinder one. But I see what you did there. Well played......

[@flux_core_fx]

Almost immediately, I got the answer I was looking for. 1999 6.0 RockAuto gaskets it is haha

[@KARR]

steady flow of vids

[@BadLuckGarage]

Beginning was spot on. 😂. Just FYI, I bought one of those Quinn digital torque wrenches from Harbor Freight a couple years ago to do the TTY bullshit and it works great. I think it was around $125 with a coupon I had. I’ve put two engines together and done a couple head replacements with it and it’s been flawless. So are those the BTR LS9 style small bore gaskets? Cause I’ve got a set of them sitting here for when I put this LC9 back together. Guess I’ll get to see you test them out first. Lol.

[@mikemaccracken3112]

Purgatory is a waiting room above the basement and below the roof😂. Matt did you change the barbell?

[@SloppyMechanics]

Not yet gotta get it off the stand to get back cover off, figure I’ll do that, show that, flex plate etc then I just brought fairmont in to get gut like a fish

[@russelljackson7034]

Right on

[@petecolone5125]

I think the term is "semi sloppy". Great job dad!

[@Carbonneutraldrop]

Now if the internet can convince Trent Reznor to cover rainbow connection the circle will be complete…

[@craigvwdude]

how much are you torquing the head bolts to?

[@doug8076]

Kids and their pills!!!! Matts American idol audition coming soon

[@patlandymore7035]

Really liking the old time ‘back to slop’ content! A quick question…do you have an approximate torque spec you use for reused bolts? Look like you’re putting between 65 and 75 lb/ft on them…so I’m curious. Have been watching your videos since 2008. Cheers

[@SloppyMechanics]

51 on rod bolts 65 on head bolts

[@eb972]

Meanwhile people buying studs when the bolt is not usually the problem.

[@erickbernard8208]

Sloppy 2.188😂

[@daltonrogers5483]

Old sloppy back!

[@CanadaBud23]

So used to being crammed into a corner that you automatically cram yourself into a corner? I fear investing in a 2500sqft garage simply because I'll still be working in a 4x10 space outside the front door 😆

[@Low760]

I fit two cars in my shed after adding 50% more area to it. Yep.

[@GUE5TPA55]

Ole school sloppy build ...just the way i like it.

[@JustChuck]

Karate kid torque technique

[@Low760]

Torque test channel proved the pqy studs were marginally stronger though?

[@SloppyMechanics]

Yeah you would know better than me, I just think it’s funny a one use bolt scores so we’ll on repeat uses

[@dlawson8993]

If using gen4 rods and pistons with a gen3 should it be balanced?

[@jacobfritz1086]

Yes

[@DocLulzson]

*Good Stuff!*

[@reddevilent.1587]

Do you still work EMS while doing all these KZbin videos? Or we full time sloppy now?😊

[@kingkotkot2341]

63 fb?

[@SloppyMechanics]

Yeah 60-65

[@stevenayala2324]

damn Matt i watched your old vids and torque mine down to 70 shit still worked tho lol

[@bigfoot355]

Brapp

[@Randomhero130666]

Typical Matco torque wrench. Have to take the batteries out or it will be dead the next time you go to use it.

[@daltonrogers5483]

That was Nicholas cage

[@davidreynolds731]

Probably not first

[@rayjon237]

Sloppy 3.1415926

[@79huddy]

Ya can't call it Sloppy pie😂 that's definitely Cheryl's box the way Moog talks about it

[@rockobukkako813]

I have a sloppy pie I'm quite fond of
