This information is quite literally gold. So hard to find information like this from textbooks. Thank you so much, Pete for taking the time to create these videos. They are wholeheartedly appreciated!

[@PetesGarage]

Thank you Matthew. I am glad you find them helpful.

[@chriswilson8976]

I am super surprised that even after a year or so your videos are still some of the most informative and in depth on the web! I have learned LOADS of info from your videos and hopefully when I decide to start on my first build the notes and points i have taken from your videos guide me along the way to build one bada$$ 331 stroker! Thank you very much Pete and i hope there are many many more things i learn from you.

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks Chris....you made my day! Keep on learning... I learn something new every day. I thought for sure someone would make another video series that make mine look more amateurish than they are

[@chriswilson8976]

***** The amount of detail your showing us is amazing. of course there's always more to it but your giving us EXACTLY what we need to know to ensure we do things right as beginners. Thanks again!

[@walterjoncas12]

Pete Thank you for taking the time to make these very professional videos. It is obvious this is your passion. You are well spoken, know your subject and present it well. I trust that you will continue to pass on the knowledge so the next generation following us will have a reliable source of automotive technology.

[@PetesGarage]

Thank you Walter...I am trying to help as much as I can. I would love future generations of motor heads get it right the first time.

[@stevelindsay3643]

Pete's Videos are second to none. You won't find a better instructor anywhere online. As a former engine builder recently back in the game after decades of being away from it I have watched many engine builders over the last few years, and Pete's videos, the explanations, the details are incredibly accurate and easy to follow. If I was to suggest one out of all the guys and Gals making engine tutorials, engine building techniques, engine information, parts selection, and hows and whys, IT WOULD BE PETE'S GARAGE VIDEOS BY A LONG SHOT. IT JUST DOESN'T GET BETTER. THANKS, PETE.

[@PetesGarage]

That is very kind Steve....thank you for the comment

[@PetesGarage]

It's getting tough to make these videos short. So much info I want to put in. Thanks for watching.

[@ThaMentalGod2003]

the longer, the better 😎u cant have enough infos

[@Eli5047]

I'm so glad for the complete information you give. These videos have convinced my son and I to do this together. Thank you

[@kevinledford815]

best videos on the net, hands down, feel like im in school again but 100x more informative

[@dm8336]

Pete, You're like a college mechanic lecturer, easy to follow/ comprehend. I'm using your videos for advance prep for mechanics theory & practical. Thank you :)

[@PetesGarage]

We are all here to learn. I try to make things easy to follow. Thank you for watching and study hard, never give up on your education.

[@peterseymour2870]

Cheers Pete! Can't thank you enough for your engine building series. Such a remarkable resource. With NO prior automotive experience ( save for that one time I did manage an oil change) I used your videos and a '76 jeep shop manual to rebuild an old amc 232 from the block up. Tremendous fun! and testament to the wealth of information in your videos. I recommend these videos to ANYONE even remotely interested in cars/engines.

[@PetesGarage]

Now that is an awesome comment! Thank you very much my friend. I'm happy you were able to do it yourself.

[@corvuslaeus9540]

No BS, just valuable info. Thanks Pete

[@cheesemons]

I've watched this series many times over. The obsession with the FM just goes to show that you only want the best for the engine. Love your video btw all the way from Malaysia! It's very informative!

[@PetesGarage]

Thank you very much all the way from Buffalo, New York

[@tbirdgul]

It’s rare to find informational videos that are thorough, interesting and honest. There isn’t a single video I haven’t watched all the way to the end. Solid content and straightforward communication. Keep up the great work and thanks !!!

[@mikebirch6028]

Thanks Pete I worked on Cars most of my Life and am now an ex tradesman from Ford, I plan On Building a 429 Thunderjet for my Torino and want to get the most out of it I can,watching your videos is really educating me on the build part and I appreciate you taking the time to help people like me! Mike.

[@PetesGarage]

That's awesome Mike. I love the Torinos. Great motor for the car you have.

[@garysisk3431]

Pete, Thanks so much for information for a proper engine build. I have loved the automobile and have built many V-8 engines from all the American manufacturers. I am not a professional mechanic, just someone who loves a strong engine and a clean classy car. Your videos are the first I have seen that are correct, Many on youtube are absolutely wrong and sadly can make novice engine builders do the wrong thing. Cleanliness is next to godliness in engine building. Many engines I have repaired were dirty and I am so glad you stressed the importance of keeping the engine and work surfaces clean! And stressing the points of gauging all critical clearances. To do it wrong means you get to do it again as the engine will come apart Keep up the videos, great job Gary

[@PetesGarage]

That is very nice to say Gary. Thank you so much. I make sure I do the best for anyone looking for information. I may not know everything, but I know enough to help.

[@garysisk3431]

***** You are much better than you give yourself credit for. A job well done and explained so anyone with any mechanical aptitude should be able to understand it. Really, really enjoy your work. Keep it up and am continuing your series to view each one. Certainly the best I have found. I have a funny feeling you have built engines that run really well.

[@PetesGarage]

I have my critics....thank you for your kind comments.

Hi Gary. R Ford Ranger engines rebuilt too?

+Petes Garage if you have a garage of your own you can advertise around and charge a small fee to teach some locals or if you want to do it for free go to your city hall, hell you can even teach online.

[@toocoo4schooluknow]

+Petes Garage I would recommend a local community college..

[@codecanna]

They also have things like udemy that are dedicated teaching sites.

[@SixtyFiveDropTop]

This is so helpful because you explain the significance of the terms so often used but not always fully understood -- like hypo- and hyper- eutectic and why that designation matters.

[@jonathanbosco8458]

Great job thanks to you I am prepared for small engine repair class, When I graduate I want to buy Petes Garage jacket.

[@PetesGarage]

[@Jeremy_Shepherd]

This series is fantastic, Pete. I recently picked up my 1979 GMC Sierra pick up I drove all through high school. My parents actually bought it in '79. I'm getting ready to rebuild the engine, and your videos are extremely helpful.

[@PetesGarage]

Awesome...glad they help. Good luck with your '79

[@CarlosGlatzos976]

This is awesome! Most detailed video series on youtube ever! Can´t say that I will rebuild (or build) any performance car at all. But now I feel the need to take my old Volvo apart and check everything - just in case and because I CAN NOW (maybe :). Cheers Pete!

[@messer7bc]

Hey Pete. I subscribed your channel just a few days ago (found it on another really cool channel I'm addicted to) and I'm diving into your stuff. I've stopped here - just because I want to write a comment here - I'm speechless. The stuff you're showing to us, all those details, all this knowledge you are sharing... this is just *amazing*. Now I know I have enough material to watch, taking notes, doing things right. Just want to say big THANK YOU for your effort and... well - keep going! :) Now it's time for a good coffee and Part 5.

[@PetesGarage]

That is really cool...thank you so much! Rock on my friend!

[@PetesGarage]

This is a controversial question. I have done tests on this subject and yes, the rings will move slightly during break-in. Once the rings seat in the cylinder they will stay in place for many years. The location of the gaps is important to make sure the compression is kept until the rings seat, so always follow the manufacturers recommendations.

[@ronlemon640]

I've caught a couple of your videos and I'm at the point of installing m up bottom end. I've been around engine building for many years but this is my first time doing all of it myself. Not too bright lol. I never knew how much was behind the actual building and not the assembly. I've assembled a few over the years just helping mostly but just tightening whatever spec was. It's really been a crash course in every math class I've ever been in. Geometry trig calculous you name it. Enough said I really enjoy how well you explain what you're doing. Also my hats off to you for showing things like that ring slipping out when putting the piston in the bore that's gonna be the part for me to slow down. But seeing that mistakes do happen even for experienced builders like yourself helps me to know that anything can happen when installing everything for real n not just mockup. Anyway keep the videos coming thanks for your time. I'm doing a 406 gen 1 sbc forged bottom end deciding on heads now but it should be a powerhouse. Going in a 1988 Ford ranger lol. 8.8 410 already in with 4 link. Coilovers all around I can't wait. Anyway I'm rambling working late every night here lately trying to get this engine ready to fire up. Have a good day. Todd

[@carstuff4260]

A forged piston is more ductile than a cast piston. Cast pistons are more brittle and tend to suffer from micro cracks. Once a crack is initiated its only a matter of time until a catastrophic failure in a motor making any kind of power. Forged materials have a more uniform density and grain structure throughout. Cracks usually don't spread as easily in low silicon metal and usually forged pistons in my experience melt, break around the pin holes or become pitted on the edges from high combustion temps or detonation.

[@PetesGarage]

+J Lang I agree 100%. The eutectic pistons throw people of thinking they'll get more out of them but they get brittle faster

[@autohut3720]

What an amazing wealth of information. Thanks a lot Pete

[@PetesGarage]

My pleasure!

[@jackkallemdjian3945]

may I just add when using a piston ring clamp it should be oiled first to aid installation second when you clamp the piston and are ready to install, put the clamped assembly in the bore and gently tap the clamp flush to the block this will guarantee the rings won't pop out from underneath. I used to practice on scrap engines when I was an apprentice and have never broken a ring during installation. 😇

[@PetesGarage]

That is an awesome comment...thank you

[@ehsanhanif8314]

+Petes Garage pete how can i develop a future or career in engine building/tuning at a young age(16 in the uk)

[@jackkallemdjian3945]

+Ehsan Hanif it has to be in your blood my friend.. find a scrap engine if possible and play with it dismantle it put it together and generally experiment with it get a feel for tightening bolts etc get a manual and read you need to understand engines before you can get into tuning go to cosworth engineering website. good luck.

Great info! I can't tell you how informative this video was. I am working with my son on rebuilding a Pontiac 350. He's having a hard time with the "planning" aspect of the project. He wants to "get to the end"...I guess not unlike a lot of teens or generically impatient people. Again I am so very appreciative of the time, care, and thoroughness of the info you provided.

[@PetesGarage]

I was the same way...just build it and get it running. Unfortunately it is expensive to learn from mistakes when building an engine. Even now I do things and say I'll never do that again. I learn something new every day. You are a lucky man to be working with your son. You are sharing a great part of you. Have a great and safe new year!

[@Leftycraig48]

Pete - I don't wish to correct you before your entire youtube audience, but the 2 connecting rods you displayed in this video are both "I-beam" section rods. Yes, one of them is considerably heftier than the other, but they are both I-beam rods. A true H-beam rod has the groove running along the narrow side of the rod and the flat running along the wider side. If another commenter has already pointed this out, then I apologize for the redundancy. Otherwise, this and your other videos that I've viewed thus far are spot-on and very informative.

[@PetesGarage]

Thank you. I did notice that but did not want to make the video over.

[@Leftycraig48]

Don't blame you. Your series is great and I've picked up a tip or 2 myself. I also noted that you installed the piston/rod ass'y with the cylinder @ 45 degrees from the vertical. Wouldn't rotating the block so that the cylinder is vertical lessen the chance of nicking a cylinder wall, or worse yet a rod journal?

[@russelllytle3299]

Excellent question...30 years of being a motor head and many years as an engineer in an engine machining and assembly plant helps....lol. Lots of reading and paying attention doesn't hurt either.

[@PetesGarage]

Thank you my friend

Petes Garage most videos just miss out a whole aspect of a particular job but you covered everything nicely and wrapped it all up in a watchable way that anybody could learn from. I'm mid rebuild at the moment for someone else and everything's going pretty well, diesel tho so everything's black and tarry.

[@PetesGarage]

I'm doing a video on a diesel this weekend.

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you so much for putting together such informative How to video's! This was exactly what I have been looking for. I am just getting started with an engine build for my 1998 SVT Cobra. I've had a Vortech S/C on it since December 1998, and an air to water after cooler followed soon after. The main reason for my build is to replace the stock rods and pistons with after market forged replacements. I've kept the mileage low (about 25k on the odometer) so hopefully the heads won't require any major work other than port matching and a good cleaning. I was also going to take the opportunity to install billet oil pump gears and trigger wheel and perform the cooling mod to the drivers side head. And also improve fueling with new larger fuel lines, billet fuel rails, fuel pump hat with 2 new larger fuel pumps and replace the stock fuel tank with a Glenn's Performance 03/04 Cobra fuel tank.

That sounds really cool Greg!
