Great content, I like the cleanliness theme, even the tech is clean-cut. And it's to the point, A to Z and done

[@2carpros]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!

[@nicholascooper2043]

Thanks for keeping the series going. I’m going to be rebuilding a 454 this summer and this has been really helpful. Thanks!

[@2carpros]

[@robertcollier1128]

This series has motivated me a lot more to tackle rebuilding my 454 out of my c20 I'm putting it into my k10

[@2carpros]

NICE! Let me know how it goes!

[@lurking0death]

Really well done. My eyes taking it all in. Superb.

[@josephutuadoPR]

great video that was top of the line

[@2carpros]

Thanks for always watching Joseph!

[@davidmclellan9967]

Nice content, good job. Will watch more

[@2carpros]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jamalmayberry552]

Watched the whole series great info.. don’t know if i over looked it or not but i can’t find the part where you did the harmonic balancer

[@2carpros]

It's right here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXq3f2qHbbiLZ7c Thanks for watching!

When placing the pan gasket on the block use gasgacinch 440A on the sides, the gasket will not move then. On the ends after you place the RTV set the pan on then go have a cup of coffee or a smoke anything to kill 15 minutes before you torque the pan bolts. You want the rvt tacky to prevent movement from wet and slick rtv.. you'll get a perfect seal everytime.

[@BearGrils55]

I found my oil pump drive gear on the floor when I had my engine upside down on the stand. Can this be reinstalled from the top side?

[@abdullahkamara314]

Awesome series Ryan, I have watched all of your series about 3 times by now :), Thanks heaps , little question for ya, looking to replace stock oil pan for my build, will it matter if i replace it with more quarts capacity pan or keep with stock?

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching x3! No that won't change anything except how much oil you put it in when you change it. It is especially helpful with engines that run high RPM a lot like in a boat.

[@abdullahkamara314]

Thank you for the handy tips 👌🏾😊👌🏾

[@jayeff4457]

Thanks for posting. Why does the oil pan have a hole in the center towards the front? I thought I ordered the wrong one for my 454 but i noticed this moroso pan also has a hole with no bolt.

[@2carpros]

Mine has that too I believe. I believe it is so the same pan fits a Mark IV and a Gen V big block. Thanks for watching!

[@mikeq5664]

Really enjoying your in depth Instruction... just a few questions.. did you do a .030 overbore on the cylinders/block ? did you purchase the pistons that much over? and what did you have to do the crank too? or did you use stock crank bearing? I'm actually about to rebuild a 1971 402 and this is really helpful. !

[@2carpros]

Hey thanks for watching Mike! We did 0.030 overbore on the block so we bought positions to match. We went 0.010 under on the crankshaft. I double checked all of this with our machine shop. Good luck on your build! Part 15 of this series will be up tomorrow!

[@laroseperformance]

Is that the stock timing cover? Videos have been extremely helpful btw.

[@2carpros]

Yes it is. Thanks for watching!

[@mynarfamily]

what would you suggest I buy to give a 1993 tbi 454 motorhome motor i am taking out right now, need to keep it low budget as possible,I would like to give it more power and torque, yet keep it dependable to pull a car behind it and go to California and swing around through mountains and colorado and around through Kentucky to Alabama and back to texas without any issues, appreciate any advise a long block from local engine overhauler is around 1795, I think I could do just what your doing and have a better engine, should I keep it tbi system

[@2carpros]

That sounds like fun! Well if it were my big block I'd go for a better cam and intake. Also consider moving back to a carburetor. Make sure your cooling system is also up to the task, it gets really hot here in California. Thank you so much for watching and commenting Raymond!

[@thermfamily3180]

Hello. Can I use the same oil pan gasket for the gen v and the oil pick up

[@2carpros]

No, I think they are slightly different. The V and VI share but not the IV and V. Thanks for watching!

[@MrLaricus52]

So is this block the Gen V 4 bolt main (1991) because after doing a little research it stated this is the year it started with the 4 bolt mains? I’m asking because I have one I’m working on and the part for the oil pump on summit states it’s for applications up to 1990 which would not be a 4 bolt main! Or does this matter and it works for both?

[@2carpros]

I'm pretty sure it will work for both. It is also my understanding that 4 bolt mains where typically for truck applications and were made during the entire length of the Gen4. Could be wrong on that though.

[@MrLaricus52]

2CarPros thank you! Also which video has the installation of the harmonic balancer in?

[@TommyStump]

Where did you get the dowels? Also what was this engine installed in?

[@2carpros]

I got those at Summit Racing and the engine is installed in my 1967 Camaro. Thanks for watching Tommy!

[@jtovarrey]

How many HP are you getting once is done? I am putting together something similar, but with flat top pistons with stock diameter. It may be a good idea to install yours...

[@2carpros]

Ooooo now there is the question I have been thinking about for the last 3 months. I have seen other guys run a setup very similar to mine and get around 500-550 hp. So I'd guess right around there. I mean I would, more is more :) Thanks for watching Juan!

[@jettapup]

Disappointed that Oil pan to to Pick - up distance was not checked, ( modeling clay method.)

[@2carpros]

They are both the stock position, really no need to check when everything is basically a fancy version of stock. Thanks for watching!

[@larryanderson2766]

I was a little confused/concerned myself until I checked out the pump on the Summit website. I’d still check it anyway

[@JDMXRANGER]

Hi again. So I’m at this stage now, I need the oil pump stud or oil pump bolt. Is that a part you replaced, or did you reuse?

[@2carpros]

It came with our oil pump or pickup. I don't think I re used that fastener. But there are hundreds on this engine, I can't remember where I got every bolt from. Knowing me I got it new. I wanted everything new. Thanks for watching!

[@arrealhandymanservice4459]

On one I’m working on the pump drive shaft doesn’t come out the block

[@juliodiaz8280]

Are the one piece oil pan gasket any good for these bbc 454?

[@2carpros]

They are the best. Thanks for watching!

[@BriggsStratton11]

"Silicon rubber" is that RTV silicone?

[@2carpros]

Yeah silicone rubber is the same as RTV. RTV stands for Room Temperature Vulcanizing Silicone Rubber. Thanks for watching!

[@randyschneider6086]

Some oil pump drive shafts were actually made of plastic?holy shit!

[@theogiemofo1507]

you forgot the oil pump gasket .....

[@2carpros]

Doesn't need one. Thanks for watching!

[@chrisguerra355]

There isn't one used

[@thatonekidkeegan5097]

There isn’t one 🤡

[@aladwanit]

Hi 👋 brother Can send me and youtube show how to fix 454 gmc truck 1982 oil pressure sending unit and wiring

[@cr500mike]

LIKE ! ! ! ! ! !

[@codysp]

The gasket was swedging? What the heck does that mean??

[@2carpros]

It means its being forced out of it's home.

[@PAKfromFYCB]

oh shit ya i first used one of those 1 piece felpro gaskets over 10 years ago and have never and will never use anything else again

[@2carpros]

Yeah they are the best! Thanks for watching!

[@trustnun2596]

Yo

[@bandoboymal_4734]

Trust nun yo

[@salvadorgutierrezr5914]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jesseduke694]

You shouldn't use any gasket sealer with the one piece gasket. Especially the amount you used on the front. Way too much. Don't need any at all.

[@2carpros]

I disagree. Thanks for watching!

[@DerekSpeareDSD]

You didn't show how to install the harmonic balancer :(

[@2carpros]

I would never let you down. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXq3f2qHbbiLZ7c Thanks for watchign!

[@dustingoad6430]

It’s just rtv folks…. Silicon rubber….. 🤦

[@TommyStump]

This guy went from a 2 bolt to a 4 bolt block.....

[@2carpros]

As I explained, I had one donated to me. I couldn't resist! Thanks for watching Tommy!
