More Progess And We Are Still At It

Mike has been making great improvements on the off road camper. Shawn got a lot done on the 4 door and getting a little frustrated with the motor. But over all Mike and Shawn have been making great progress on their projects.

[@zenmaster1761]

I got faith in you guys you'll figure it out it's probably the simplest stupidest thing you can think of good luck love the show

[@mph6502]

I would suspect spark plug wires and firing order from the way it sounds, but start with the basics and check compression first. If compression is good on all 8, then use a timing light and check every spark plug wire to make sure it's firing. Also double check for any vacuum leaks. When you finally figure it out I bet it'll be something simple, just a pain to find out what it is. Good luck!

Mike, make a small skateboard for the turtle, its awesome.....think turtle turbos... The video i saw was a small turtle on a finger skateboard... Turtle was chasing the dog around having the time of his life...

[@glennbayley5863]

For future projects. If you drill the panels and the Roof before you put your sealings on, you won't nacharel. Your drill bits up with sealant, Can't wait to see finished

[@brucejr.5833]

I love the trailer build! The big block issues is something every one of us would have had so it feels like I'm in this with you! You guys are awesome.

[@brockryan3405]

Mike does a great job filming solo. I can tell what he is doing.

[@christopherthompson4359]

I can't wait til the camper is finished.

[@brockryan3405]

But then what will Mike engineer? I'd prefer he continue to make it amaze-ballz

[@stevesporer5434]

Try an elastomeric roof coating over complete roof. Snow seal or equivalent. It has 300% stretch and made for it. Thanks for another great video guys..

[@DonAshcraft]

Nice job on the roof patches Mike. By using both sealer and rivets, you lessen the chance of the patch moving during transport and cracking and leaking. Going down the road, these campers just flex and warp and vibrate like crazy. Never ride in a moving camper. It's nutty.

[@jamesmelvin4125]

Nice work on the camper Mike. Shawn - may be time to try a 12 valve 😂

[@billfrev]

14:28 check and see if you have a tight value setting

[@Jon_K8so]

Mike and Shawn!!! Great video.. Camper coming along and Shawn's truck will get there. You guys always do

[@awake.collective]

I know you just glued that sheet in although a max air fan does wonders. Love this project

[@CurtisWilliams-ph8wl]

Mike when you get the camper done, everyone is going want one.

[@billfrev]

18:01 check for vacuum leaks around the intake -- throttle body and do a compression and see the numbers ..... also check and see if the cam shaft is not flat in spots

[@bradywilliams2666]

This. Also is that a 454 TBI or 350 TBI? The 350 TBI is smaller and does not match the factory adapter correctly. Leaves a big air leak. I'm assuming it's a factory 454 TBI truck since you have the adapter.

[@nickmadrigal6770]

Thanks for the shout out!!

[@dirtbillydeluxe]

You bet!

You know when someone is making too much money they stuff a big block in the truck 😂. Or got a new gas card at Texaco 😅

[@stephenpoe2037]

Thanks for sharing ! A bummer about the Engine !

[@jameschoreboy2540]

All your and rorys fleet need to have front bumpers that are 10 wide to stand on when working on without falling on your faces

[@wackowacko8931]

The injectors are spraying way too much fuel into the motor at idle. They are probably sticking open and dumping fuel into the motor. If you pull the plugs, they should be wet with fuel. You can probably have a local mechanic that has an injector cleaning setup disconnect the fuel line and run injector cleaning fluid through them to clean off the varnish build up. If you plan to run fuel injection no matter what (ie, atomic), you should run a 195 thermostat in the motor, because all modern fuel injection setups use 200 degrees as the turn on point for closed loop operation. If the fuel injection doesn't see this, it will never go into closed loop, which means it will run full rich. The result is your fuel mileage will REALLY drop, the motor will never run right and the cylinders will wear prematurely (excess fuel washing the oil off of the cylinder walls). I know the tendency is to run a 180 (or 160) thermostat given where you live to keep the motor as cool as possible, but it is a bad idea because the fuel injection system won't go into closed loop.

[@jeffclark2725]

Great day at the shop, I remember those days , only one or two more things, next thing your done, and its 2 in the morning

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

VICTOREE the Big Block is running.

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB!

[@paulhiebert1887]

The problem is that your truck is identifying itself as an 84 Yugo that was built on a Monday morning by workers who are badly hung over or still drunk from partying with the Russian hockey team during the Olympics!!!😂😂😂 that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it!!!

Desert tortoises 🐢 are snack food for dimondbilled rockpeckers.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

Sounds like the cam is too hot for the motor. 😁 Even that lap seal stuff doesn't last forever. When it starts looking old, instead of ripping off the old sealant, I just brush Flex Seal Paint over it. My trailer is now 10 years old and still no signs of water intrusion.

[@maxironpaw]

Mike: Ask Santa to bring you an air riveter.

[@Paw746]

That is a cool stubby ranger

[@OpieDogie]

I hated when I worked on a truck and it didn’t run right. I never had the patience that Shawn has tho. I snorted and cussed a lot. I like that camper

[@Wesley-uo3rn]

TBI FOR THE WIN.. low hp but never really fail. Run upside down

[@scrappy7571]

I could hear low compression in one cylinder when you where cranking over. Compression test for sure.

[@SpatialDragon]

I would try a carburetor on it to see if that helps... Try a different distributor. I don't know the history of that one. Start with the basics.

[@davidmech2956]

Maybe a good fit at Boeing

[@dennispalmer6007]

This is an old truck built with used parts. It’s not designed to leave the ground so as long as it goes, stops, and steers that all he needs. Oh and by the way he doesn’t have the budget that you have.

[@3.0colorado21]

I think you should find an old school 427 out of an old chevy farm truck and put in there.

[@kimwatchman644]

Did you check the cam lobes? Could be a cam all worn out and rounded. Stick to the basics. Fire, fuel and air. Than go from there. Squirt some ether to see if you have a vacuum leak some place. Just throwing it out there to help.

[@donaldhalls2189]

That rig sounds jinxed 😒 might just be the fuel,or injection system, hope you can work it out,thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@agentcrm]

With the 'new' motor. Have you checked compression and checked for leaks? If there's burnt wires, you need to pull them all to replace. At least they need to be checked. MSD Atomic are owned by Holley, the atomic and sniper look to share a lot of bits. (Not to self, do not let Shawn work on engines.)

[@maxironpaw]

Sean: I always start twitching when I see youse guyz running a motor with no coolant. Doesn't take much to break a ring.

[@MichaelSmith-jv7zm]

@Shawn Is that the 454 throttle body,? Because big block and small block use different injectors. And i don't know which throttle body adapter you have but some do have a passage way threw that would cause a vacuum leak , if not plugged. And Never getting down to proper idle is likely a vacuum leak. Slow to get down to idle could possibly be a failing or dirty IAC (idle air control) motor. If it helps, think about it as a computer-controlled vacuum leak. You might try removing it and see if the tip is dirty, clean just the tip of it with a brush and some carb cleaner, but be very careful to not get carb cleaner down inside the IAC or you'll kill it. Also be careful not to move the position of the pintle (tip.) Look inside the TBI where it goes and clean any crud from the IAC seat inside the TBI. You can watch the IAC work while it's installed, by looking down at the TBI unit with the air cleaner off. My next suspect might be the throttle position sensor - TPS.

[@MichaelSmith-jv7zm]

I just watched the end. There is a big possibility that there is small block injectors in it. Even the ECU is different between small block and big block. Well the chips are different and can easily be changed. Wrong injectors can ruin an engine, and so can't wiring that's junk and cutting down amperage.

[@bradywilliams2666]

It's not only the injectors that are different. The 454 TBI is has bigger bores. 2" compared to IIRC 1.5". So a 350 TBI doesn't work on a factory 454 adapter.

[@azrider2011]

It’s a Chevy!!! So glad you guys made for affords the Dodgers and Toyotas figured I’d take a swing at the Chevy people sorry you got bad motor get another oneOr fix the one you got whatever it takes we’re gonna line enjoy your show Eric
