Open end wrench works great for installing the pick up tube

@@Myersmetalworks I really need to get some metal working tools.

As mechanical as you definitely are you will love having them....😀

Very impressive, i would love to obtain all those tools!! Lots of skill there, nice job!

[@Myersmetalworks]

Thank you very much!

[@crawford323]

You know it's time like these when I wish the Matrix Movie Pill-O-Knowledge was real. To obtain in a lifetime of skills instantly would be so nice.

[@Myersmetalworks]

Lol.... I'm sure there's many things I could learn from you as well... 👍

I removed my comment but I did watch the whole video. Thank you !!

[@Myersmetalworks]

Thank you too!

[@mikeheggem9488]

Those nuts you are using on the windage tray are good in theory but when they are tightened they remove material from windage tray. Good way to get metal shavings in engine. Just torque one down and then remove it and you will see what i mean.

[@Myersmetalworks]

Thanks for the tip...

[@hybridmusclegarage4590]

Great video!

[@Myersmetalworks]

Thanks... Hybrid Muscle Garage.... I Definitely Like your 71 Camaro👍

[@hybridmusclegarage4590]

@MyersMetalWorks HYBRID build coming soon. Not sure if i'll do a LS3 or 496.. Still on the fence😱😁😁

[@Myersmetalworks]

Sounds like two great engines to choose from.... Hard to go wrong either way...😀

[@garycardwell6854]

Great video! What brand and part number for the oil pan? I am currently building 496 and looking into pans. Thanks!

[@ratgasgarage]

That was kool

[@Myersmetalworks]

Thanks Rat Gas Garage... 👍

What have I done with my life, JK but you have some very nice tools.

[@Myersmetalworks]

Thanks Rickbo's Rides.... But you have a very nice Camaro...

[@Michael_Lorenson]

I wonder if you could freeze the pickup tube assembly, and heat the oil pump, enough to make the tube slip easily into the pump. Opinions?

[@Myersmetalworks]

Not sure..... I have never measured how much interference there is between them... It seems like it would have to help....

[@wholeass83]

Question about the studs for the windage tray. My motor does not have the studs for the tray. I got the studs and the tray. My question is when installing the studs if I do 1 at a time do I have to follow the bolt pattern when torqueing them? If I do how do I follow the pattern if I'm not replacing every crankshaft bearing bolt

[@Myersmetalworks]

Hi Henry.... I would do it one bolt at a time on one main cap at a time no special order...Take one bolt out, install new bolt with stud and torque, then move to the next bolt in the same cap and remove it and install bolt with stud and torque, and move to next cap... Im sure there are other opinion on how to install them, but this is how I would do it, if I did the job.... Thanks....

[@wholeass83]

@@Myersmetalworks thanks for the reply. This is what I planned in doing I just wanted to make sure I'm not going to throw the Crank out of wack on a brand new engine

[@Amack1964]

Really good attention to detail what brand was the oil pan

[@Myersmetalworks]

Thanks Andrew for the nice comment...

[@sc358.]

Other ways? Sure. But why not and it's a bitchen tool. Enjoy these tool fab videos 🤤

Thank for the nice comments...

Nice videos, the background music is to annoying to watch your entire presentation

[@Myersmetalworks]

Thanks for the feedback so we can improve...

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

The music in this video makes me want to go hangout at the beach, and drink a martini, not build an engine!! LOL

[@Myersmetalworks]

Lol.... Just having fun with it....

[@MagaRickn]

Wow! You have skills. But buddy, if your time is worth anything, you just spent a butt load of time and effort to do what most guys would do with a open end line wrench or something. ;) ;) However, if you got thousands of dollars of equipment, years of machining experience, and are having fun, who cares?!?! :) :)

[@Myersmetalworks]

Hi Rick...... Thanks for the nice comment and advice.... It is just a hobby...

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

Half a windage tray looks pretty sketchy!
