[@ranyothman5211]

The only mistake I saw was at 5:15. When grinding the rings, grind one side only. Otherwise clean work! I build my 4G63s/64s pretty close to this and run the same crank. I use A dial bore gauge on the crank bearing bores directly with the main bearings installed and cradle torqued, instead of the snap gauge/micrometer method. I've never seen that crank sensor setup before on this block. Very cool!

[@wyrdplae8586]

What does that do? Is it because if you grind both sides you change the geometry of the opening, once it's installed, in a negative way? Does it make the opening more wedge shaped?

[@ranyothman5211]

@wyrdplae8586 Correct, you want to keep one factory edge to compare to so that both ring ends stay perfectly parallel when grinding the rings.

[@floriflori7424]

This is like a therapy session. I love it, no talk, no drama just watching.

[@JMT9069]

I may be mistaken, but aren't certain bolts supposed to have sealant on them because of the way the coolant passages run through the block? I know you had to remove certain bolts and add sealant to them, the first time you built this engine. Love the ASMR aspect of this video! Out of every other Automotive Channel I watch on KZbin, I always watch your videos first! Keep up the amazing work Devin!

[@spencerwarren902]

IIRC only the exhaust manifold studs need rtv because of the oil passages.

Circlip on the piston, always have the open end on the 12 or 6 o’clock position. You installed it at 3 o’clock

[@xREICHARDx]

I’d love to know why this is important

[@Ryan-806]

At high RPMs, I’ve heard that if the circlip opening is at three or 9 o’clock that it could compress the circlip enough to fall out. This has never happened to anyone I know but it does makes sense. Could just be a myth, but just incase, I always place the opening at 12 or 6.

[@TheKrighter]

Put oil in the filter, helps with the initial start.

[@flamestar557]

I wonder if anyone actually commented the mistake. I was being all brain numb from how relaxing it was to watch I couldn't focus on any mistakes.

[@jamesk3565]

I could watch this every day!!

[@zbringles]

Very good build overall. The only thing I wouldn’t do is use silicone, especially on the oil pan - there are gaskets for that. If, for any reason, silicone ends up blocking the oil pump pickup tube, it’s goodbye engine - and I’ve seen that happen before.

[@antilaggabe]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe the mistake was rotating the crank while tightening the crank timing gear, without a timing belt, the engine is now not top dead center. 14:50 other than that beautiful video🤘🏼

[@wyrdplae8586]

I don't think this matters. Also anyone feel free to correct ME too. Always happy to learn. Because he hasn't timed the cams it doesn't matter if the crank is TDC on the compression stroke or if it's 360 degrees out as he still has the timing mark on the crank pulley to get it back to TDC. Being that a 4 stroke has 2 rotations of the engine between TDC comp. stroke and the next TDC of the next compression stroke. Or put another way. The 2 times #1 piston is at the top of it's stroke is one for the top of compression stroke and one for the top of the exhaust stroke it doesn't actually matter which one he is on, because the Cam is the only thing that is different between those two. The crank and pistons are all identical. This is effectively saying if you set an engine to TDC on it's #1 compression stroke, then take off the head, rotate the crank 360 degrees and then put the head back on. It is still fine. as even though the crank and block are sort of "as if" they were on exhaust stroke TDC, thus 'feeling' like it's now out of time. That doesn't matter because the valves in the head are still set as if the engine is on it's compression stroke for #1 cylinder. So it IS on that stroke. So he can always get back to TDC. Only time it might matter in terms of being a mistake is if he were to hit the valves with the piston while he turns the engine. but I don't think with the force he is turning it that it would even do anything. He does have the cams in so the valves would be open but I also don't know if this engine is an interference engine (meaning valves enter the space that the piston enters), probably is as I think most performance engines are.

When cleaning engine parts using regular coffee filters is the best. They are cheap and when they rip fibers don’t come off that could go into the engine.

[@RemyFioretti]

I know nothing about engine building but this kind of video is really my cure for a peaceful lunch break. Although I didn't build any engine, my guess is that it's lacking of margin check either on the crackshaft inner part and the cam springs, but I only spotted that because I mainly watched building with used parts

You should take the micrometer tool from the gray part, which is a thermal insulator. If you take it from the metal part, you can vary the measurement due to the transfer of temperature to the tool.

You didn't prefill the oil filter and lube it with oil so it can come out easily next time you take it off (did I guess it?)

[@oswaldoroman4592]

Respect to your craft and your years of experience I don’t want to be that guy that points out everything but my teacher from tech school always said to use a short sockets when it comes to assembling so you have a low change of stripping the bolts and you have more torque.

Hey man I really recommend using the OEM freeze plugs for the block/head, I had my head service with those aftermarket brass plugs and alot of them are failing after only a few thousand kms, OEM plugs sorted the issue.

Reminds me of when I swapped all the goodies from my stock evo 6 motor to my built evo 8 2.3L short block. I didn't add thread sealant to one of the idler pulley bolts which goes into an oil passage and it was puking oil when I started it up. Hope that didn't happen to you! Good times!

[@SlimLu1]

The man was not joking when he said ASMR 😅. Very satisfying video to watch

[@culpritmedia7026]

Not an engine builder, so I have no clue what the mistake was. Just dropping a comment to let you know how 🔥🔥🔥 this video was. For ASMR, having the mic next to the bores when you're doing the measurements would have been cool, but could just hear it as it was (mic down by the block).

[@ZhenYue88]

[@therevuk]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, craftsmanship like this, is our era’s equivalent to the Mona Lisa, something so simple yet so complex 🤌🏼🤌🏼 The mistake was… the timing was out

[@wm5423]

Did not prime motor with oil pickup still upside down for first start up. Or can do it with timing belt off and spinning oil drive gear with drill before installing belt. To remove all air in filter and channels and get beter oil pressure on first startup.

[@jkiley4466]

There were a few mistakes. The PTW you measured was .0045, not .045. You put the pistons in backwards - the larger valve reliefs are for the intake valves, but they were installed on the exhaust side. You installed the oil pump front cover assembly with a missing dowel, there should be 2 to locate the gasket and cover properly. Didn't appear to put any ARP lube on the threads of the main studs, only the washers. Used too much silicone in a few places.

[@grrgn]

Just to add, driving the guides in the cylinder head with a hammer and no silicone on oil filter seal

Super clean. But I think I know what's the mistake. I'm not pretty sure, but I think you're supposed to check the piston rings gap in its specific cylinder where it should be, and it I think the piston ring should be put lower in the cylinder cause the way you're putting it might be even higher than TDC. Probably not required in most engines, but just guessing! Please correct me if I'm wrong
