Scotty your perseverance and patience is to be admired well done mate... these projects have had a fair few setbacks and you always take em in your stride and keep goin good on ya

[@TheRealWashie]

Replacing coils on these motors is the only time I've ever used my 5.5mm socket too. Never knew why it comes in kits but sure glad it did when I needed it.

[@7071t6]

Now scotty cam and have the supercharger intake side opened up at little more and better oil flow and good coolant and great tune and she should be a beast of a engine. :)

[@mickanon5607]

The poor man pays TWICE or even THRICE. Scotty, please spend the little extra coin!!!!. I can only guess what happened on the E-bay auction. It went to a MILLION dollars and there were bid retractions and all the other bullcrap. :(

[@troyaschebrock4673]

All engine bolts are imperial, all accessories thst bolt to the engine are metric. Exhaust bolts/studs are imperial one end and metric the other

Got to take the good with the bad, stuck at home due to flooding rain but a new carnage drops . . . hell yes

Yes indeedy, glad to see that you’re back at it resurrecting supermang Scotty. As I said in the previous video you’re a great presenter on these videos buddy and I genuinely can not wait to watch another of your videos so thank you for your continued devotion to all of your channels projects, it’s this kind of dedication that will make you go a long way and succeed in your goals. Take care and I’ll happily continue following your channel. Peace our brother 🙏🏻

[@justanotherguy9664]

"E-Bay Auctions." You're a funny Guy Scotty. Hopefully this new Bullet will be a bit better. With the way it came apart,you should name it "Loosey--Goosey."

Fingers crossed that the frustrations with the auction get sorted out. Enjoying this video.

[@PETERNESS]

best horses ,like Scotty thet are so chilled out ,nothing standar bout a standardbred

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

After being so deflated about the AU, I'm SO glad you didn't tip the engine with oil in it, might have sent you over the edge. ha ha. Great to see that engine looking good though mate.

[@PETERNESS]

starting to loose a connection with my eldest boy and seeing a few of these videos and observing how patient Scott is ive decided to see if my son wants to get involved with hes ol man and do a project together,suffice to say we are getting on like a house on fire and we are putting together an ol TC Sandpiper ive had since i was a teenager,hes really diggin it and im just stoked he wants to be part of it,cheers Scotty,long story short ,hes suggested we fit an VS V6 under the bonnet and get rid of that lil Isuzu motor

[@STREETMACHINETV]

V6 into Gemini is a good swap. I wish I could build a car with my son

[@FizzaMC]

Dammit Scotty, watching the Supermang vids are making me want to retire my VX Berlina off the road so I can put some goodies on the donk for my very own Supermang hahaha 🤣 Keep up the great work. Cheers 🍻 😄

[@yeahnahyeah7872]

Could tell that motors been re-assembled at every step... the aftermarket valve cover grommets, intake manifold gaskets were newish (not factory) and then all the copper seal on the head surface.... i was waiting to see rod bolts already done but nope. And yes, L67's are a full mixup of metric and imperial, drove me fkn nuts

[@mikeymasi]

Awesome scotty this thing is gonna mang like nothing else!

[@george_cramer_1980]

how appropriate 3/8" bolts on a 3.8l

[@paulcost6446]

Not surprising that there are a lot of imperial bolts on the Buick V6 as was designed originally in the early nineteen sixties in the USA

[@wesgates5632]

Same for the US engines, all the block bolts are imperial and the top end is metric.

[@pauliusgruodis137]

"Too easy" Don't jinx it. 😂

[@Tony-112]

Rule #1: Never say it's an easy job! 🤣

[@gregmyatt9932]

Agree with you Scotty, these American/ Aussie 90’s engines are a mixed bag when it comes to bolt sizes. Pulled down quite a few Fords and Holdens. The Fords seemed to have flipped earlier when the EA came out to metric, but the Commodes having a stronger tie to the US used everything.

[@josephbarker4436]

Did you want that au bonnet? I sent you photos on Facebook messenger

[@zeropaloobatheuber1572]

It’s like archaeology, trying to work out the history of an old motor. The new LIM gaskets make me wonder. I wouldn’t be surprised if that engine received a ’freshen up’ 180,000 km ago.

[@ryanmartland3757]

Have U spoken to Baz Washington at all he builds some good l67motors and good advice just an idea Scotty go the SuperMang!

[@danielspencer1973]

Shutup Scotty! They're a loose fit 10mm, what the heck do you know! Don't argue with the internet! 🤣😂🤪

[@leroybrown6946]

Alway check that the engine has no oil, I've made the mistake to pull the accessories my 4L Sohc and forgot the oil,

Scotty, if you really wanna wind up the trolls, tell them in the next vid which oil you're going to use in Supermang when it's back together! :)

Take the Engine out of the au. then crush the car and you will have a spare engine with 350wk for a new car. just my thought

[@alt7488]

wait,i call bullshit, no one ever finds their 10mm sockets

Also Scotty mate change all the bolts to metric, as long as the treads are the same, you should be able to do it, that way it will be the only engine with all metric or imperial bolt head sizes. :)

@@STREETMACHINETVfine I guess 2650 time then?

[@howey1975]

I'm afraid I don't quite get what you're trying to achieve. You're having the heads done, changing cam, lifters, timing chain set up (I get that, it let you down). The point is that you're spending money, in the right areas, except you're leaving the last couple of pieces of the puzzle in the rings and bearings. They're serviceable items, and replacing them also allows you to check the crank, rods and pistons, if they're fine, use them again, if they're not, you found them before they let go at 5000rpm.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

To do the rings, you have to hone it, if we're going to hone it, might as well build it.

[@Wesleyrpg]

What happened with the AU auction? Let me guess, you had a time waster with zero feedback win in! If i was you i'd only allow bidders with a minumum of 10 positive feedback to bid on it! Hope this comment helps!

[@STREETMACHINETV]

That didn't help. One guy had a positive feedback of 250 but when you looked at the comments it was all negative feedback

[@GTRRACING393]

Yeah when I saw the final price on the AU thought what's the bet it's nuffys trolling who won't pay. Would be a fun budget ish car for the drags just drop in a transbraked C4 or glide. Part of me wants to ask how much, but then I do have too many projects. Hmmm

Makes screwing a barra together look really easy. Those Buick donks take the cake for required extras to keep them alive.

It's not a buick, ecotech is good for 500whp with just valve springs and a turbo. L67 600whp. If you dont drive like a dick that is

[@NitroAl]

Still wish I built a Barra though

[@dinosshed]

@@NitroAl to me anything that is a pushrod V6 from a commodore is a Buick. They have made millions of those engines, from 3.0 to 4.1 litre configuration. Front wheel drive and carburettors until Holden spent some time on one. I like the look of the VN engine, nice rocker covers and intake.

Funny how some metric/imperial are spot on... 7/16:11mm,9/16:14mm,3/4:19mm... Not to say I use the wrong ones ;) In the States it was hard to find metric tools in the '60's until imports took hold. Dealer shops usually had Hazet brand, very good German made stuff (and expensive). Kind of like AN fittings and hose, -4 is 4/16(1/4),-8 is 8/16(1/2), etc.

[@Tony-112]

G'day Scotty & Street machine, Australia has had a year so far (Covid-19 and flooding.) Glad everyone is good. So far.👍👍

[@The_Performance_Laboratory]

Are you planning on replacing the rod bolts with new stock ones, or upgrading to higher strength aftermarket? If the latter, you might think twice about doing that without resizing the rods (see my video on that).

[@STREETMACHINETV]

With rods bolts I agree, but I feel cap screws are different. But I'll take a look at your video

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Good video. I might do a similar test with Cap Screws before I change them. I know a lot of LS1 guys just change the cap screws and send it but I'm not sure anyone has actually tested it.

[@joelfrancis5391]

Cmon supermang!

[@wingoson]

The bolt argument is always funny on those, but Scotty's correct. And love the comment on the timing set.. Guessing lesson learnt.. 😂 😂 😂

[@jaycampbell4635]

So therapeutic

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Please put some fresh rings in and give it a quick flex hone. You have already pulled it down that far, you should check bearing etc, since you have gone that far. Looks like a good donor.

[@ytthecommunistplatform.2675]

You can use the na heads and get the injector bosses drilled . All the heads are the same but the l67 gets the injector bosses drilled out . They are all cast the same . Keep the other engine and recon that on the side to replace the one you just got . Hot the hell out of it and turbo that engine for nearly 1000hp . Look up corn fed boost yt page . Hes got a stonking l67 in his vt with a t56 6 speed in it . Bring on the mang . Thats a vs series engine because the balance shaft is a straight one and not an offset shaft like the rest . Piss the shaft off and go double row chain . Put a stroker kit in it also . Its all pretty cheap to do .
