Engine Assembly Crankshaft & Pistons

Check out Kalvinator Engines: www.kalvinatore...
After all the preparation of balancing, checking clearances, and painting, it's now time to assemble my engine. In fact, this is the only part of engine assembly we were able to get on camera. Because everything else took so long, we were not able to recored the cylinder head and the rest of the assembly.
Still, there's a ton of useful information in this video about bottom end assembly and the types of things you want to consider with a boosted application. As you'll see in the video, you build an engine for boost very differently than you build a naturally aspirated engine.
No matter what, you'll walk away with great information form this video and a deeper appreciation for my machine shop, Kalviantor Engines.
Thanks to Kevin Frische for his help in this video.

[@silvergunsmoke494]

Absolutely can't wait to see her running! I've always loved this kind of stuff! just rebuilt the engine in my truck (just stock rebuild) at school and i enjoyed doing it! I'm in my final year of school for automotive and currently working as a technician. your videos are part of what finally inspired me to go to school for this! can't wait till i can afford to do an actual performance build like this one day! Dream!!

[@ericthecarguy]

I'm honored by your comment. Good luck in school and with your future projects.

[@silvergunsmoke494]

thank you!

[@brandonmerrithew317]

In this video Kevin is ETCG and ETCG is us. Very satisfying to see that an expert can still learn after all these years.

[@christieturner5567]

omg I'm going to school for this in 8 months. I wanna be just like that. I'm amazed about the methodology of this all. I'm so excited to learn

[@Zezims]

You deserve some type of award Eric. You are truly the best, most dedicated, most Entertaining Car Guy.

[@D0csavage1]

A master craftsman at work. Funny how Eric you go down the old school carburettor 20th century route for your engine and the master engine builder uses a 21st century digital torque wrench to help tighten up your engine. WD40 to help rebuild a virgin engine, I mean come on. This kind of information & tons of other info needs to be taught on your youtube channel. These are the guys you want to invite to the bar just to have a chat with to gain years of wisdom over a few beers. Kevin and his son are awesome. We need a tool review on digital torque wrenches now :)

[@therodenthitman]

Agreed, this was a fantastic video. This guy is a master, i bet his hands can crush golf balls haha.

[@carbonfiber492]

Funny when i was taught engine reco I was told to always use a deflecting beam torque wrench as it’s more repeatable as they don’t loose accuracy as quickly case is point the dealership I work at there’s probably 25 torque wrench’s between peoples own and workshop supplied and a general mix of micrometer dial and digital that get calibrated every 6 months(German car company that like everything torqued) out of all those my 2 deflecting beams (1 about 5 years old 1 at least 45 years old) generally need less adjusting Than the rest including my dial wrench

[@chriswalker5729]

Uhhhh...The flaws in that is that he used the manual "Click" torque wrench for final torque and that is more along the lines of carburetor technology. And are you questioning the used of the WD-40 or making light of it? WD-40 is lube that displaces water and does that well. There are better things for it, but that's like putting a set of $1000.00 tires on your 93 Tempo. Best out there, but its overkill.

[@joeleonard5219]

Digital torque wrenches are alright, little pricey. The regular torque wrenches work just as good

[@KCautomotive]

I feel hypnotized watching this. Great work. Love building engines. Right now I have couple of engines builds going that have no cars to put them in. Do it just for fun.

[@robmoberg3959]

excellent info on rebuilding from a guy with a lot of build experience. this is becoming a lost art. thanks, eric for making this video.

[@jefferykaighin7039]

Great video! It's nice to watch an engine master at work doing the job correctly!

[@chrismunos7741]

Most definitely feels like giving life to a hunk of steel. Especially the butterflies of its initial fire up! Nothing like it.

[@echo8287]

Eric, you kept saying how this assembly was boring. I found it to be one of the best most interesting "Eric the Car Guy's I've seen. I love all the little fine points and the love in the cake. It reminded me of my old 69 Z-28 days.

[@AlloyDiesel]

love the Fairmont build! I just had minor surgery which required me to spend two days in bed. Found the playlist on the first day and the recovery flew by. thanks for posting such great content.

[@stigonutube]

Good To See The Process Done By A Pro Shop like Kalvinator, Ive Done Complete Engine Assembly Before But Self taught DIY thingo, Eric is a Happy Camper, i know that feeling with Engines :)

[@fredgrove4220]

At last, an American engine builder that puts the camshaft in before the crank. Almost all I've seen put the crank in first, and I've never seen the logic in that. In UK, we are taught to put cam in first, so you have better control.

[@jrodthompson7454]

I wish this dude could be in every car video asking questions the whole time. He's so good at it.

[@jasonfrost2487]

He loves to hear his own voice.

[@bmw540i]

Is it just me or does anyone else find this therapeutic?? Wish I had a shop like that 😞

[@THOMASTTWYFORD]

I've watched almost all of your videos Eric and that was by far the most mesmerizing and pleasurable to watch. Really like birth... strange to say that but I almost had goosebumps!!!! Cannot wait for more. You have evolved your videos and this is really great!

[@papascabs2767]

The sound of the crank turning at the end... smoooooooooth....

[@HarryTwatter]

Finally a long video on this series, you've been teasing!

[@ericthecarguy]

Just working through the stock. Not all can be epic videos like this one.

[@HarryTwatter]

I understand I'm just thankful we have any of them. Thanks for what you do!

[@thewt]

"Last piston I have you my heart. The very next day you blew it away...."

[@Brendonsanya]

Theese long and informative videos are the BEST! Can't wait to see this engine in action on the dyno and in the car! Great job guys, I almost felt that first complete rotation in my own hands as the totally sealed pistons were making that metal to metal sliding noise in those bores. Pure car porn and it's even better than sliding human piston in a human bore :)))

[@Brendonsanya]

I can imagine Terminators watching this as porn...

[@ericthecarguy]

I see it as porn too. Best kind if you asked me.

[@HsCSpanky]

35:40 Eric's on his knees, getting real excited!

[@eriksharp6292]

Eric, thank you so much for making this video. I think this is the best thing I've ever seen on KZbin.

[@joseph8626]

It's fun watching Eric be the Student lol! This video shows how much Eric loves cars. It's incredible.

[@YZJB]

Well I was about to go to bed, but I think sleep can wait for this video. Love your work ETCG!

[@dmeads5663]

If there was a tv show like this, I'd watch it everyday.

[@MichelPASTOR]

Hi Eric, love your videos. Especially these engine prep and assembly ones.

[@patw52pb1]

Excellent assembly video. Just an FYI, according to ARP, the ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant is a proprietary blend of extreme pressure lubricants, is metal free and does not contain, Molybdenum, Nickel, Lead or Copper. Also it is important to mention that when using 2 sets of bearing shells to adjust/set the desired clearance, all of the upper bearing shell halves used in the block or connecting rod be like sized and all of the lower bearing shell halves used in the main or rod caps be like sized. Mixing different thickness bearing shells in either the block/rod (upper) or caps (lower) effectively causes center of bearing bore misalignment, binding and premature wear.

[@paulhoward4161]

I still can't get my head around using mismatched halves just to increase the clearance!

[@patw52pb1]

Paul Howard Using mixed size bearing shell halves is a common practice used by more knowledgeable, higher end, high performance engine builders. The practice is condoned by most of the larger performance bearing manufacturers including Mahle/Clevite and is mentioned in their literature regarding installation and fitting. Using mixed thickness bearing shell halves to adjust final assembled clearance is also an OEM practice where the different bearing shell thicknesses are usually denoted by color coding dots and or number of punch mark indentions. To maintain the bearing bore centerline alignment most manufacturers specify where to install the thicker bearing shell half, which is usually where higher bearing load is encountered. The following is an excerpt from Mahle: "If clearance adjustments need to be made, use either an extra clearance part for more clearance, or an undersize part for less clearance. It is permissible to mix sizes if less than .001” adjustment in clearance is desired. When mixing sizes for select fitting never mix parts having more than .0005” difference in wall size, and always install the thickest wall shell in the upper position if installing a rod bearing, or the lower position if installing a main bearing. When working with a reground shaft always measure assembled bearing IDs first and have the shaft sized to produce the desired clearance since there are no extra clearance parts available for undersize shafts." Using mixed size bearing shell halves facilitates small but critical, less than 0.001 inch (0.0254 mm) (1 one thousandth of an inch or 1/1000 inch) adjustments to set the optimal installed bearing clearance.

[@paulhoward4161]

YES!! Someone else who uses WD-40 for piston assembly! Works a treat, and the rings seat quick. Love that adjustable tapered ring compressor tool, too!

[@7071t6]

As far as tightening the head studs, the thread grease used does change the torque down specs a little just keep that in mind, especially when using ARP head studs. :)

[@The305Garage]

Kevin really knows his stuff!

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Fun to watch you guys assemble the short block. I really appreciate the meticulous way you guys did the work.

[@brandoncrosbie8214]

They are alike in a lot of ways!

[@matowixunplugged7927]

Adel Jeffrey turns out this engine malfunctioned and needed pulling apart by Eric. . Not that it was Kevin's fault.

[@JOSHUAK71]

Your videos will be of GREAT help and info. I will soon be building my 95' 302 in my Bronco.

[@mitchf1508]

I remember torquing main and rod caps on my back with the block still in the car and using a cheap ass bar torque wrench.. That was on my 71 LTD with a 400 in it when I was around 18 years old.. I'm 53 now, so do the math.... I put new main bearings in it without removing the crank.. Ha, ha... Don't know how that thing ran, but it did run strong while I ran it and I ran it hard for at least another 2 years after that! Love the vids Eric and I'd pay those motor guys anything they wanted! :)

[@PedroFTeixeira]

Good thing Kevin did such a good job, the engine ran so lean on the dyno for so long!

[@walthansen6333]

I'm an engine idiot, but I find this fascinating.... Going to go find all the episodes of this engine build.

[@mikeh6876]

Kevin really does make it look easy. Amazing............

[@sadakotube]

mixing bearing halves are kinda common. i used to think that way too, like eric thinking how the crank will be centred by mixing bearing halves. then i remember that the crank never loads on the bearing. it floats on a thin film of oil.

[@MrFyrzabre]

I never thought about it lol. But the question Eric was trying to get the answer to is how they are placed. The answer was placing the same size bearings all on the same side of the crankshaft. This wasn't answered in the video which may confuse some people. I had to look it up. I mean it makes since in engine building terms; all similar things go the same way automatically. So Kevin didn't even think about it. Trying to let people know how to do it properly.

[@michaelkrenzer3296]

Techincally the thicker bearing should go on the cap side because of the reciprocating forces are always side load or down...mostly down. In reality, does not matter

[@Dr_Xyzt]

The reason you're supposed to put studs in finger tight is so they're not stuck if you break them. The benefit of using studs rather than bolts is the stud doesn't get twisted as much and it guides your assembly. The granular structure isn't distorted at the bolt head either.

[@johnlive7647]

I would love to see at a 351w level of a build. this is a great video thanks Kalvinatorengines for letting us watch. I hope to never see the day where I have to a crate.

[@KemalDaysal]

Hello, I have a 2005 Renault Laguna 2 1.9 Dci (F9Q 750) (120 HP) that have been rebuilt on Feb 11. Everything has been renewed with new ones except crankshaft, camshaft and piston rods. The reason of rebuilding it was burning oil (350ml / 1000km and blue smoke especially on cold) and high blowby at idle on oil cap. The cylinders has been bored by 0.5mm and new oversized pistons inserted. The car runs fine without any leaks, without any smoke at operating temperature and it's powerful now. Still has a little bit of blowby smoke on pcv valve at idle at operating temperature but i hope it'll be gone when break-in procedure is finished. My concern is, the service put a factory suggested Elf Evol 900 SXR 5W40 "Fully Synthetic" oil as initial oil and then they tested the car without my approval. They even said they redlined it on highway and went to 170 kmh which is contrary to break-in period and initial break-in hours. I researched about the break-in oil and break-in procedures and learned a few things but it was too late to tell them to service. They already done this stage. They didn't know about break-in oil anyway and said "use the oil which is recommended by factory as we did it like this". When i asked them about break-in procedure, they said drive it like you want it, it won't matter... Since rebuilt, i've driven the car for 260 kilometers in 6 days and following the break-in procedures. Not lugging it, not overreving it, not passing 3000 rpm and avoiding full throttle sudden accelerations. I've been avoiding idling it for extended time. I've been using the RPM band widely as much as i can to help seating the rings to walls. In 3rd gear, accelerating smoothly from 2000 to 2800ish rpms then letting the foot off the gas and it drops slowly to 2000 again and repeating it on different gears when driving. Not driving it like a cruise control on same RPM. My question is, should it break in like this with fully synthetic oil which is on the car for 260 kilometers? Should i stay with the synthetic oil inside until i reach 800kms and change it or should i change the oil and oil filter to mineral oil like Castrol GTX Essential 15W40 etc. immediately? I fear to glaze the cylinder walls or rings and can't successfully do the break-in procedure with the synthetic oil inside. I fear to damage the healthy turbo or other components with mineral oil too but the turbo repair is much more cheaper than an engine job which i paid significant amount of money. Is it too late for switching to mineral oil? Are my cylinders have been already glazed and rings wont seat as i fear this to happen? How should i test that? What do you recommend in a situation like this? I was planning to do the first oil change when i reach 800kms after rebuild, then the second at 1300km and the 3rd at 4000km. I just want the engine to have a healthy break-in procedure and have a long life and decent performance. The money spent on oils and oil changes is not that much important. I want to drive this car healthy for 3-4 years, equals to 30.000 or 40.000 kilometers with my recent driving hours. I bought the car at August 2020 and have been fixing the problems caused by previous owner, sadly. I’m waiting for your advice, thank you for reading this and thanks for helping.

[@Qgal5kap123]

I just love long format engine building! :-D

[@forkboy182]

The hex head on the studs is for removing them. By snugging them down you can bottom the stud out in the hole and actually cause the stud to set at an angle and set the bore incorrectly.

[@CreateYourWorth]

Eric looks so happy. I would be, too!

[@victoramato4692]

The reason for finger tight is because sometimes when you tighten them they lean over a little making it difficult to slide the cap on. Binding in the holes. The bolt company does this for a reason.

[@vetterfellow]

Dr. Frische come to surgery... Dr. Frische... LOL. Great put together video guys. You all put a lot of work into this project, You too steady hand Brian !!. TTFN.

This is the first time Eric looks like a total noob.

[@4dirt2racer0]

i think he was tryin to be nice to the guy, at least i really hope so because i for a fact he knows better than some of the things this guy said because iv heard Eric say it before, at least i hope thats what it is n hes not just takin it for granted that just because the guy has a business he knows what hes talkin about

[@milosaleksic1982]

And that's totally fine. I think that is what happens when you are in love with something you do.

[@Void-gn9zm]

To be fair, Eric isn’t a professional engine builder. He’s a mechanic. Fischer is a machinist and an engine builder. Big difference.

[@socalRooster]

I noticed when it was Eric turn to drive piston in the guy engine builder did not help guide rod into place?

[@charlesputt8588]

@ 31:50 "Kevin Frische, how do YOU use WD-40?"

[@ericthecarguy]

Crazy thing is, we shot this back in May.

[@charlesputt8588]

I know! That's why I was doubled over with laughter at this particular part, given the SEMA vid you posted yesterday and knowing that you shot this one months ago. Other parts I found funny were when you were talking about finally getting to hear the engine run on the dyno (given that we, the viewers, have been hearing one of those dyno passes at the end of each video posted for months), as well as when you said, "I'm thinking about calling this engine 'Dark Matter Pikachu'". Hope your Thanksgiving was fantastic.

hey what did you guys file the ring size to

great Video ! Down to earth and easy to watch!!!

[@pauljanssen2624]

Yep increase clearance increase oil velocity running 40 or 50 weight high RPM big Power I built a few truck pull Motors for few guys big cubic inch Ford motors boy was that fun

[@pauljanssen2624]

When I heard that connecting rod being dragged across the bench it reminds me when I took my steel bench completely flat no Birds no highspots guy I was crazy but you know when you put aluminum head on the back you're not going to scratch it Gadget or damage it fast way of building Motors

[@tomhutchins1046]

The ARP instructions used to say finger tight then loosen 1/4 turn . I think the idea of not locking them down is so they will move side to side when you tighten the nut to make sure the nut sits flat on the main cap without creating a bending load on the stud and make a smoother more accurate torque and equal loading. In other words to let the stud float and find level. To make up for any tolerance stacking causing an uneven surface. You can also crack the block when the engine is run with the studs (head or main bottomed out experienced engine builders know this) Nice clean organized shop. engine looks spotless. Yes this sounds like splitting hairs but isn't that what you pay a pro for perfect meticulous work?

[@MrGoldman9]

woww I can see his experience vary will GOOD LOCK

[@costafortia]

John Goodman comes to mind

[@TheCarTakerGarage]

Love these videos!!Greeeetings from Norway :)

[@Lindholmer5k]

one important thing you guys didnt mention, is how important temperature is when measuring this kind of tolerances! Usualy they should be measured at 20 degrees celcius, after 24 hours in that stable temp enviroment

[@propellerhead9197]

Did they check the piston ring end gap..? That is a pretty important one..

[@scasny]

some times master and a good helper is better that best master alone. i know from personal experience that helping someone is not trivial.You have to have the skill just like the master only diference is the master have the know how and years of experience.Fiding a good helper that speed up the work and made it easy is hard to find.

[@jhuntosgarage]

Eric, you should be doing the assembly while Kevin supervises.

[@levons2698]

Mesmerising.

[@silvetrelomeli7815]

6:00 right now when yu guys mention end play on the thrust bearing. Were working on a hemi 5.7 2011 at my school and the maine bearing have thrust washer in the #3 bearing/middle bearing and the end play that is said from the manufactures is 2-10 thousandths >.< i thought that was crazy lol that sounds like too tight of the minimum soec haha

[@KiaSorento-tu5op]

Nice work Eric
