press fit wrist pin install

That is good tip. I learned a trick from a performance engine builder to prevent oil leaks between the block and intake manifold, I use a center punch on both the intake surface and block surface every 1/4-3/8 inch which effectively 'knurls' the surface and give the silicone a chance to anchor itself. I hate oil leaks

[@Ezrider359]

Iv never tried that I normally use ultra gray and let it tack up a few minutes before plopping the intake down normally works well for me

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

I used to do this at a Machine Shop.... Same principle, less steps. You showed a great way to do it, if you're at home, with basic Tools! Awesome job!!

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice work Ezra 🙂👍 I'm glad its coming together. Take care

[@Ezrider359]

Thanks, you too!

[@paulmartin3340]

Nice tip, Ezra! Looks like you've really got a good handle on putting engines together without having a whole machine shop at your disposal.

I got taught this method to putting on press fit pistons when I was younger now it is a dying trade art and that’s the truth . I still do the these pistons the old way . The old trade ways are the best , now everyone just sends their problems to any machine shop . Dying trade art 👍 🧰🔧

[@sodapop8408]

I like that little trick it’s easy to learn when you gotta a teacher that explains things the way you do mad mad mad skills 🤟🤟🤟👍👍😎

Thanks Ez born and raised on small block chevys, thanks for the video have a great day.

[@caveone-365]

I use the heat/ freezer method quite a bit when installing bearings that are an interference fit. Old oven works wonders to throw the bearings in, and if whatever your pressing into is small enough it goes in the freezer. Makes everything so much easier. Thanks for sharing.

Shout out from Central California Ez. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@Ezrider359]

Happy holidays 👍

[@norcalray7182]

Awesome job brother. Can't wait for the video.

[@retiredtruckersgarage.7606]

we used to use cardice a chemical freeze agent,we'ed have a bucket full and put liners in it overnight ready to fit into the groove in the block,and gudgeon pins into pistons also kingpins after reaming out the brass bushes,also great for fitting ring gear on flywheels,the new pistons look very short.

This is probably where the term "hot rod" comes from in the history of racing terminology.

I liked this video, what I don't like is driving an empty 53ft reefer down the highway with 45mph+ winds. CMON!!

[@davidanddiana7173]

Cool stuff man 👍

Rodney's going to PURR!!!

[@50murphy]

Any chance you can do a short video on block prep? Thanks

[@RipRoaringGarage]

I wish I had a bigger shop! Although Im pretty sure your shop is colder than a witches tddy. Still planning on moving...and Nordakota is still in the lead...seems like the best place for buying up land, and having a big shop. Of course, the'res still that saying. Why not Minot? Freezns the reason.

[@Ezrider359]

My shop is heated.

[@RipRoaringGarage]

@@Ezrider359 Im bringing my stuff over to your shop then! You got them heats I hear about!

😎 Thanks EZ ⚓️

[@joestreiff9401]

you need to put some matchbook covers under the legs of that press 😄

[@ianatkinson8464]

[@rolandtamaccio3285]

Just before you install the pistons get as much oil on that pin as you can, and again just before you bolt the pan on . Ask me how I know . Been awhile, 1968 .

[@Ezrider359]

Always a good idea to use a liberal amount of oil on everything on assembly

[@billcarp3523]

Using the toaster oven in the kitchen for warming engine parts sometimes will get the ol' lady upset at you. Trust me, I know.

[@garygeer7646]
