Chevy 4.3L V6 Engine: Polish Crank & Hone Cylinders... Engine Building Prep! Bad Hombre Garage 128

In this episode I finally dig into the 4.3 Liter V6 that has been sitting in my garage for over a year. I do some old school engine building on it- by that I mean I hand polish the crank and hone the cylinders. It can be done at home! Follow along.

Oddly enough, it's common practice in machine shops to use 80-150 grit Emory cloth to bring bearing journals to size on shafts turning slowly on a lathe. It takes quite a while to take off more than a thousandth (0.001) of an inch. off. I'd definitely say you got a good method there.

Thanks! I have the engine running and driving now and it works great. Makes good oil pressure.
