Fixing HACKED UP Cadillac CTS-V LSA RACE Heads, Engine Rehab Episode 5

I'm almost a professional now. One day. In the meantime I'll play one on youtube. In episode 4 I tore down these LSA heads and discovered they were very poorly machined. Now watch me take these mediocre pieces of you know what, and turn them into something special!

[@TurboDog73TX]

Dude, please don't EVER quit making these vids, Your color commentary is spot on, and hilarious AF. (Fellow machinist.)

[@jeremyshaw9717]

I concur! Also fellow engine builder/machinist.

I'm an aircraft structural engineering instructor , i always preach about paying attention to your drill chuck runout, i can see your milwaukee m18 is having a little dance, get a better unitl and that reaming job will get much better

[@tims1744]

Keep it going Josh. As you said it is a dying art to do a correct head job

[@gregwhite7957]

So much attention to detail. You are a master.

[@richb4099]

Nice work from an old guy who did heads for years with OLD type equipment.....Stones....Screw in Bronzewall guides.....Thin wall liners....all by hand....hand porting......Did it for many years and still do on occasion.....It's a lost art anymore.....I'm 75.....drag racer/engine builder since the 60's....

Wouldn’t that make you 10 when you started

when I was running the automotive machine shop we were knurling valve guides and then reaming them to size Ages ago

[@gmstudent93]

Man I hope you use KZbin to build your dream shop!!

[@EngineRehab]

Thanks! Good thing it’s fun to share some knowledge!

Is there a sharp lip below freshly cut valve seat? Looks like there is a shadow down there.

[@EngineRehab]

Your eyes deceive you. Trust in the force.

Niceeeeee

[@patrikramberg3787]

I enjoy your channel, i try to do some work on heads here in sweden, made a cutting head to my old milling machine so i can resurface heads, and just bought a old valvegrinder and some valveseat cutting tools, just doing basic work, and light polishing cranks on my lathe, so thank you for doing these videos, greetings from sweden

[@EngineRehab]

Old valve grinders can be very good with a few upgrades. Especially once you replace the chuck with a collet chuck

[@darrelwright7343]

Wow!! Ur work is gorgeous!! I have so much respect for machine work ur a fkn artist 🎨 ur gonna blow up dude keep doing what ur doing. Ur fkn hilarious to by the way

[@billquillin1952]

You do excellent work!!

[@bjornscheibler1899]

Adding another comment for the KZbin algorithm… Many have said it before, but it bares repeating: Voice overwork is FANTASTIC!

[@EngineRehab]

Thank you! I’m getting better!

[@jamesocker5235]

Finding Technically skilled people in work force is an issue overall. Keep it up and hopefully you will find someone to give your experiences to. Excellent content

[@RLTango]

20:40 - Layperson here - I was initially concerned about what looked like a static or magnetic charge on the filings. Seems like it wasn't a big deal though. Keep up the expert work!

[@EngineRehab]

Some alloys become magnetic when machined. Who knows what kinda stuff is mixed in with those seats. Its the chips that became magnetic.

[@WHM_Engineering]

Just found this channel, please keep uploading videos, fantastic work 👍🏼👍🏼 could you tell me the fly cutter setup you are using to surface heads ? If you mention to some people (especially on Speed-Talk) that you surface heads on a BP they will loose the will to live. How do you find the accuracy ? I like you think it can be done! Thanks, great vids

[@deanmoser5907]

Keep it coming. You will get heaps of subscribers. I will keep watching keenly.

[@stevenhildum6957]

Thanks for taking the time. Enjoying the technical explanations

[@myrondel]

I had no idea how much work goes into new val ve guides. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@davidh3666]

What is the tool used at 13:38 and where do I get one

[@nathanrussell5115]

I NEVER comment on videos but... this is truly an artist at work. Much respect brother keep on pushing the limits! 👍

[@EngineRehab]

Thanks a lot big homie!

[@carlosv2474]

Dude I am really into your videos, they are reminiscent of uncle bumble fuck. Lol I can't remember what his name is but I also watch the hell out of his videos.

Welcome to the zoo!

Wow that was a great video, I really enjoyed the attention to detail and great commentary.

Thank you very much!

[@v8packard]

@@White.Elemant When I seriously considered getting deeper into cordless tools, I thought a long time about batteries. Battery cost is absurd, in my view, and I ended up considering batteries as much as the actual tools. I settled on two brands, and three battery lines. I am extremely reluctant to add another line. It surprises me when people have numerous brands because of this.

[@White.Elemant]

To be honest, all my new cordless are Milfukee. Older ones Default, and the ones with cords are "the ones that meet the specs when i needed to buy them". Poor can't be picky 😃

[@chris37plymouth54]

Anybody else want to be friends with this guy!?? Talked about getting er done with the tools you got. I'm impressed
