[@GuillaumeBourdeau-p4d]

Dear Mr. Nick, I thought I would comment since I was told my name was mentioned in this video. First off, this 572 Hemi ran like a Rolex when my partner first built and tested back in late Dec. 2020. The engines original owner wanted the look of dual in-line Holley's that would be easy to start and drive to Tim's and C&C, hence the reason why I built (& tuned) the twin Holley 600's.With 10.6 comp ratio and 205 psi cranking it ws a great match for pump 91. This engine idled at 1,050 rpm with 17" hg, and approx. 13.8 AFR, made a very respectable 724 TQ and 735 HP with about a 12.7' ish AFR with pump non Ethanol fuel, it was actually pretty good on fuel, a testament to the machining & build quality. But, after months and years of the engine sitting and not really being used, pump fuel with Ethanol takes it's toll on any carb, be it zinc or aluminum, just not Holley's LOL. I had to "visit" the shop to "clean & fix" the new carbs due to corrosion/varnish that can bugger up a Holley or any carb real quick. I have no idea why the distributer was removed and installed 180 off ? I guess the carbs could of (should of) used a rebuild. If you have any Holley's you are tossing away because they are older than 3 years, please let me know, I'll drive to your shop and be glad to take them off your hands, I'm serious on that. By the way, it's a solid roller.

[@79tazman]

I thought it was common sense to flush out E85 and fuel using ethanol with non ethanol fuel when a engine will not be in use. I guess common sense is not too common anymore. I run 110 through my carbs before it sits for the winter or even for a few weeks. I thought everyone knew that ethanol fuel is not good to let sit in carbs.

[@GuillaumeBourdeau-p4d]

@@79tazman To be fair, there was 91 pump non Ethanol available everywhere at the time of this build (Dec. 2020) and the reason why we used it. 91 pump, non E was available for a few years afterwards. But, like I mentioned, I had to service the carbs a year or so later because they just sat and fuel evaporated, it takes a toll, even non Ethanol. My car can sit a moth or 2 with Ethanol, but longer than that, it get's drained and cleaned out. The race car stuff I work on, the carbs get drained after every race!!

I'd be concerned about what the inside of that engine looked like nick mentioned the spark plugs where not only the wrong ones but wet if it's wet due to any water the cylinder walls could be full of rust and need to be honed out and the camshaft could be warped or have flat spots definitely needs to be gone through by the owner

This is one of the best episodes ever!! Great for viewers that love to learn. Can't wait for follow up video. I'd also check the oil for gas. All that gas went somewhere.

[@Bige4u]

The typical drawback of a carburator on a highly cammed engine, you have to open the primary throttle blades quite a bit to allow more air into the engine to get it to idle decently. For those that do not know, that will expose more of the idle transfer slot than it needs to be, usually .040 max opening. When that happens, its allowing more fuel into the engine and the idle mixture screw adjustment becomes inaffective. The fix is to open the secondary throttle blades just enough to get the primary throttle blades back into adjustment, then your idle mixture screws will become effective once again, its a wee bit tricky, but it can be done.

[@davidedgar2818]

It is probably too late for this due to editing time but I would definitely change the oil before restarting. That much over fueling probably added a fair amount of gas into the oil.

[@capicolaspicy]

I can't believe how much you assumed things were right after finding the first two errors! I would have questioned the cam and timing areas, that's the only thing that will shoot sparks out the carbs and the exhausts! Sparkles going to the wrong cylinder and/or at the wrong time! And then the 2nd time you eyeball the distro you see it is 180 out.....omg! They could have changed that distro BEFORE it went to storage.....we weren't there, therefore we DON'T know. Can't count how many times I've had an engine sitting for year, outdoors even, and both fuel and carb accelerator pumps had dried out diaphragms. Dump some fuel in the output side of fuel pump and in the accel pumps and literally about18 out of 20 would awaken and work fine.

[@robt3305]

What was a disappointment for me was watching Nick manually checking accel pumps, stating they are bad and not working, but going in to the dyno and pumping that throttle handle multiple times before cranking. What were you thinking Nick, you knew the pumps were not working.

[@capicolaspicy]

@@robt3305 worse yet, one of the times he said both pumps were not working, he is looking down into the carbs and when he hit the plunger on the front carb I can clearly see it squirting fuel. No worries, I still love the guy lol.

[@williamturner8422]

Hello Nick, this intake manifold was originally a Keith Black manifold that was designed for boat racing. But it is a mystery that they kept the exhaust heat provisions. In an old "Mopar Performance" issue they did a very short article on this manifold. If my memory serves me correct their is another article that is on Google where the owner of a Hemi car had problems with fuel distribution, with this manifold. He ended up going to a different manifold and the problem went away.

[@NipkowDisk]

I did the 180-degree goof on my '65 Coronet 383-4V many years ago when I put in a Mallory dual-point distributor (Model No. 2557701; I have NO idea why I can still remember that 40-plus years later!). Not difficult to do.

[@LORISSABOOBMAN]

Check to see if it has oil in it for petes sake, checking dist should have been 2nd thing after oil check.

[@TechnikMeister2]

Its at this stage when you realise that chrome will not get you home. Down here in Australia, every hour on that dyno costs $200, running or not. It's called tie up time.

[@supertruckertom]

@@TechnikMeister2 I was wondering what the rates were. I figured the dyno operators need to get $1k per day minimum. $200 per hour would get them through a slow period. I bet some have waiting lists for dyno time.

[@gordowg1wg145]

That's the right way to do it. Something operators might like to consider is having a check list/advisory list for potential clients booking the dyno', such as reminding them to bring aditional fuel of the octane/blend they are tuning the vehicle for, spare oil and filters if breaking it in before loading it up, spare spark plugs of the correct grade(s), etc. Also having the client fill in a sheet with the basic engine configuration, so they're prepared for it, like engine variant, if N/A supercharged or turbo'd as different exhaust provisions may need to be prepared. If dry sump arrange oil tank etc with clients, whether there are lifting points to speed the setting up, etc. Expected peak power/rpm/torque and rpm it's to be taken from, etc. in case it exceeds the capabilities of the dyno', or it has to be set up for it.

Check for a firing order swap cam. I suspect someone swaped out the dist. In storage And timed it 18436572, or it came from a swapped order motor. The only way for a 18436572 motor to run that even on 4 cylinders is if the end cyls on one side and the center two on the other are not working. That's not what you have going on. Could be wrong, tho. Anytime you have a dead cyl upstream of an O2 sensor, it will read rich even if you lean it out until it dies. Also, if it has a flat tappet cam, was it broken in correctly? I'm not familiar enough with them but it seems like a good high compression new 572 would work that starter harder? Also, it may be a trick of the camera but the rear carb seems to have much smaller venturies than the front carb. Good luck, Nick!

[@scudzuki]

The accel pumps are delivering enough fuel to start the motor. After the first carb backfires it was obvious the ign timing was off quite a bit. Floats stuck. Carbs are all gummed up.

I would probably drop oil & filter on it because the oil is full of undurned fuel & the last thing you need is ring wash because of all the fuel washing the oil off of the rings and cylinder walls . I remember watching that episode with that Ford that was in the trailer that sat & you were having a heck of a time trying to get it to run to get it in the shop last winter because those carbs sat with old fuel that basically destroyed them from sitting . You hit the nail on the head on the problem and its a very good idea to stop & swap the intake manifold & go to the big single 4 barrel to get it running right to find out how well it runs and make some pulls just to see how close the power numbers are . Another great video from Nicks Garage !

Every engine I have ever bought that was supposed be ready to run got double checked on timing, spark plugs and carburetor before I even thought of installing or trying to start. The 292 6 cylinder engine that I put in my father's 66 GMC pickup had a junk carburetor and the distributor was seriously out of time. I put the carburetor of the blown 250 engine on it. Another time, I found spark plugs in a small block Chevy V-8 that were what was listed for a 12 hp Briggs and Stratton engine. It amazes me what kind of stuff you can find on a ready to run engine.

You got that right.

Nick ! The engine doctor, I learn more from Nick than anybody

[@williambrandt9254]

I've been enjoying watching you bring this beast to life Nick I'm kind of surprised at the buyer bought this not knowing anything about what was in it whether the lifters were solid or hydraulic? And as you discovered it wasn't even run before it was put up for sale But once it's running that idle it sure sounds like a beast And how would you know what the lifters are without pulling off the intake manifold? And then if they are solid what's the intake and exhaust clearances? Other than that it's been another enjoyable video life and thank you !

We need a Mic and Camera where those pipes exit your building! That sound would be Great!

[@papersack4290]

Good video, glad to see some frustrations and learning

[@bobsanders2353]

So glad Nick you called it. Take it apart . Good call

[@joelcheek3494]

I learned a long time ago that when in this situation, start with the basic fundamentals. Check the timing and firing order as the first step. It only takes 10-15 minutes. Then check for spark. Then check for fuel. You'll save tons of time this way. I had a 440 Blues Brother replica a guy couldn't get running. It turned out the firing order was "correct", except that he wired it in the wrong direction.

That's a sweet Hemi Lot's Bling and will make alot of Power after Nick puts his magic touch.

[@NicksGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Professor Nick WILL get this beast sorted out! NO DOUBT!!!

[@Evil-Jesus]

When i'm building an engine, I just put it all together, put the pointer on zero. Throw distributor in. Try to fire it. If it backfires through the carb. You're 180 out the end.

[@wintonwright4244]

Might be a good idea to pull that distributor make sure you got the right mid-shift gear in that thing if it's supposed to be a bronze one maybe might have swapped it out for a stock one Natalie the camshaft 2 the whole thing will be junk by the time you're done
