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.

[@madmick3794]

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

[@shaunpc2512]

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 🙏🏻

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

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 🍻 😄

[@7071t6]

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. :)

[@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.

[@wesgates5632]

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

[@bvward]

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.

[@garykirby7606]

Thanks heaps for that engine rebuild,now I know how to do it all,you buety

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Haha, we'll show it going back together next week

[@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

[@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

[@justanotherguy9664]

@@STREETMACHINETV Seeing as the 3.8L dates back to the dark ages in USA, it's no wonder the "core" engine bolts are imperial.

You definitely are not wrong there I have the same fun on my l37 build. I have got to go too the second motor for her now as stupid me didn't look at the bottom end before I started the stage 2 performance build.

[@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. :)

[@wingoson]

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

[@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.

[@steveanderson5888]

Awesome brother that engine looks good just clean it up get all your heads done it will be a good engine

[@87xfute]

You are going to do mains, big ends and rings aren't you Scotty, you've got it down this far surely, it'll be a crime to not do them seriously, your just asking for trouble if you don't buddy !!! Hope you and your family are all safe and well mate. Seeya Rob

Header connected to the radiator pipe.... GM is amazing

[@5lcalais1]

It's cause they're normally a fwd engine that Holden adapted to be rwd which wasn't a lot cause well Holden were cheap buggers 😂 normally they don't have that pipe in fwd buicks they come from, Holden were just too cheap and lazy to make an I let manifold with the thermostat on the front 🤦‍♂️😂

[@dinosshed]

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

[@NitroAl]

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.

[@5lcalais1]

@@NitroAl eco are still buicks lol same family of engines buick has been building since 60s

[@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 .

[@brentondev9154]

Scotty. Why don't you change the rings and bearings while your there ?? So easy to do now. Good show mate

[@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.

[@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

[@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.
