Detailed Rebuild Of A Stock 440 RB Mopar

[@joes3485]

It was a practice of Chrysler to put a layer of about 1.5" thick fiberglass insulation wrapped in heavy duty aluminum foil underneath the center of the intake manifold and above the metal gasket to help prevent heat soak of the carburetor. It is more of an issue these days with the high alcohol unleaded fuel and a thoroughly heated up engine. It is another way to help avoid vapor lock.

The inner valve spring is for damping harmonics. I found that out from the machinist that refreshed my block today

Thankyou Bill, I appreciate that. I hope the video is of help to you 😃👍🏻 SGG

Absolutely awesome video! Camera work and attention to detail are hallmarks of the Sorted George Garage 😄

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

Thankyou Robert. Kind words as always. I try my best so people can see what's happening and what to do 😃👍🏻

[@surveyorslife7638]

Miss you, George.

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

Just waiting for my new project to come over. Give me a couple of weeks and I should be back on air 🤘🏻😎 😃👍🏻

[@billcobb9408]

I found that adding dab of blue lock tight on the valve cover bolts helps to keep them from getting loose. The ones closet to the exhaust will be the ones that come loose first due to heat.

LOL! Now the engine is too good for the car! I always marvel at the pure simplicity and efficient design of the American pushrod engine. Yea, its thirsty and doesn't put out a lot of power for its size, but when that engine was designed, nobody cared about MPG and the power was more than the brakes and suspension could handle!

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah that sounds about right! As you say they're simple. I was so nervous about the tolerances but they were great! Just got to put it in and run it up now 😁😁

[@tonikollmann7342]

A Great Video thanks

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

Thankyou Toni, I hope it helps 👍

[@billcobb9408]

Yes, tighten from center out.

[@DaveTurnerBassGuitar]

Is that VHT Chrysler Turquoise? Great video!

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

Yes it is 👍🏻

[@billcobb9408]

The center out is correct

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

Are you referring to tightening the caps from centre outwards? If so then thankyou 😃👍🏻 Some people say yes, some say it doesn't matter. I thought it would, just like tightening down heads 👍🏻

[@craigwilliams3006]

🤤

[@billcobb9408]

Did you soak the lifters? I hear it done two ways. Soak them over night or dry. What were you told? Thanks for the video. I like it alot.

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

No Bill I didn't soak them, just put them in and let them fill as they should. HOWEVER!..... I think I have a noisy lifter now, so another video coming very soon on that 👍🏻

[@billcobb9408]

Have you watched Nicks Garage yet?

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

...... Just had a peek.... looks good! Thanks for the tip 😉 SGG

[@boydoesititch]

Did you oil the piston rings before installing the pistons?

[@billcobb9408]

Is there a startup video?

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

Yes Bill, there's both the original 1st start, and once the engine was rebuilt.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKmyoYaIqa6BpJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2fKk62qnZWWb5o Hope these help 👍🏻

[@billcobb9408]

What paint was used on the crank?

[@SortedGeorgeGarage]

Paint???? Give me a time from the time line so I can go back and see what you are referring too.... 👍🏻

[@billcobb9408]

The crank looks like it painted black. I think the machinest painted it.?
