How to: GM LS Engine Timing w/ Bad Daddy Braddy

[@chrisnobles8114]

I found a original set of 14 inch chrome cragar wheels on the side of the road in the trash the other day. Literally always dreamed of having a set of these wheels and I found them free!! Guy came out ans told me he didn't want to bother trying to sell them and he even gave me the original center caps. Craziest find of my life.

[@FranklyNorman]

This guy has an incredible talent. Not only does he really know his stuff, but he can communicate it in the simplest possible terms. So informative. Thank you.

[@waking00one]

This is actually a supremely interesting video. Nice shit.

[@CaptanTaco]

Brad at first was a little weird but I love Brad long time

[@jdmontu]

I want Dan and Brad to be my mechanic mentors for life!! So much to learn from those two, completely masters 🤘🏼

[@peterblock5043]

What a good speaker, almost no fillers through the whole video.

[@mannys4539]

Damn I am so glad this video exist more people should understand this....Those redundancies can mean the difference between a perfectly optimized motor or a thrown rod! I know these things now, but it wasn't that long ago I had to learn the hard way, GREAT WORK BRAD! Damn it your killin me! These videos make me want to build again....

[@tofurx7fd441]

Really enjoyed this video. Learnt something from this. Brad Daddy has a good way of explaining things and makes it easy to soak up the information

[@rayzorsharp2331]

Awesome info ! Just tripped over this channel am glad you guys take the time to inform people and share the knowledge !!!! Kudos

[@adamm2716]

oh yea brad daddy you want a pressure gauge for that oil especially in hot places like cali.

[@LOUDFARTNOISES]

Growing weed or teaching a bunch of hoonigans on the interwebs. The answer is yes. Thank you for the lesson. That was some good wisdom

[@brandonloll4262]

Just don't forget to use a piston stop with the rockers removed on cyl no#1 and verify 0deg TDC on your new balancer is TRUE TDC witch can be done and marked even on a stock balancer. Great video love the build!

[@BIllMcCambridge]

Y2K your doing a great job shooting this build. The slow motion action shots instead of the normal time lapse was bad ass! Once again I ask yall to credit the edit.

[@hc4615]

1:32 bless you Brandon

[@-g-4356]

This is very informative 👍 love the bonus channel

[@benmiosi4706]

*I can't distress that enough* 5:13. Can we get a Hoonigan book of terms published at some point? Braddy would be a top contributor lol.

[@captaincouldverc]

Ben Miosi Don't forget about *dundancy* Hahaha

[@Dadmoves49]

Ben Miosi yes. He has the best words ever

[@11sneeuwman]

5:47 "Just to reinsure"

[@TrojanHorse1959]

And "gaven up the manual feel of life" 5:36

[@dumbALASKANhick]

VERY SMART COMMON SENSE GUY. Oops CAPS!

[@Andrewlang90]

I legitimately learned something I didn’t know watching this. Thanks for the tip :)

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

Awesome informational videos your teaching myself and others really awesome stuff. BRADDADDY YOUR KILLING IT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[@nickrogers8606]

Kado, the way you said “let’s get this thing mounted”...... it’s just...... wow.

[@nickrogers8606]

That camera shot wasn’t helping much lol.

[@gkozak430]

Simple, easy to understand, and dope to watch 👍

[@nyalsewell]

So that’s why they keep Bad Daddy around 😏. You’re a wild man, but doggone it you know your stuff! Love seeing you on the show, Bad Daddy

[@tarrySubstance]

Even though I don't have that much experience with mechanics Braddy explained it perfectly

[@od7421]

Another aspect of importance to what Brad is saying, the cam can have up to 5* of timing disparity from specification just from manufacturing variances, timing chain slack, and sensor read. That is why degree wheels and even hard-marked elements such as the aftermarket damper are good additions to a build that moves away from stock cam selections.

[@VroomVVroom]

The LSA and the LS9 have a keyed crank and a keyed pulley since they have superchargers.

[@833graham]

love when hoons show brad daddy and dan love see them build and explain :)

[@FoxMacLeod2501]

"... the distributor spun the spark around..." Love it.

[@Babarudra]

Wow, I am so out of the loop. I haven't screwed around with an engine since my 71 Pontiac Lemans 455 back in the mid 90s. People were always shunning electronic gauges. I even had a gear driven tach. I'm a frikkin dinosaur.

[@Babarudra]

haha, thx!

[@GustavCarl17]

Dude, my brain just exploded

[@johnnorfolk5906]

Love brad, he reminds me of a bunch of old hot Rodders I hang out with

[@wesleyoleary1032]

brad... you are the timing guru

[@FoxMacLeod2501]

As an addendum to what he's saying after about 6:25, that temp difference he's talking about can also happen sometimes with totally accurate sensors, if they're placed far enough apart. They can absolutely read two different, but in this imaginary case, true and accurate temperatures. This is especially important to watch for on engine swapped vehicles, as components often get moved to different-from-stock locations to help everything fit.

[@jordanspear2567]

Love this bonus channel

[@timcorwin2907]

This was well needed!!!!

[@mikedavis9923]

You can also drill a stock crank to use a woodruff key and then use the aftermarket balancer

[@DYLAN-xz3xo]

I feel like bad daddy brady wears that go pro no matter the time of day.

[@ryanjenkins01]

DY22LAN14 lmfao I was thinking that the other day 😂😂💀

[@blackknight3830]

Very nice, and informative, but! For all the rest of the world who are not familiar with US muscle, ans especially LS engines, could you guys make a "brief" video covering the basics of LS-ness ?! I could go on reading about it sure, but information first hand is always the most accurate. Would love to hear Brad and Dan talk about it for 8-10 minutes! Where they come from, what makes them so good, anything unique about them etc. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

[@CITYBORNDESERTBRED]

It’s dope that Hoonigan isn’t just hot boy shit.. this FYI/DIY stuff is a nice break for those who aren’t just about the flash

[@esrtradajesse]

Learning with baddaddybrad is so awesome

[@Javierm0n0]

Forking love vids like this.

[@boostv8chevy457]

Guys. Most all oil pressure sensor act when the pressure is Zero. Not at 10 or 20 or 5 psi. Means when light goos on you are nearly done.Late for action.So it is always good to have a Buzzer or and a sensor with turns light on at higher pressure. wich i don't know if it is easy to find for any car.

[@blaznmax8877]

You Are the man a very mechanically inclined

[@stephengreaney2782]

PLEASE ❤ As a mechanic Tip Ex is your best friend mark every thing when you take it off

[@adamm2716]

yea man good advice

[@chasefalgout9467]

What is Tip Ex?

[@LurkMoar101]

White Out/Liquid Paper \o/

[@healthiestmotorsport5145]

Depends on the motor... if you see tipex on an F4R you can guarantee the timing is going to be way off. But yea, it's generally a good rule to follow.

[@therealaustinbrown2712]

Yup, both ways are cool but LS is life.

[@arturgrudzien5258]

i love this bonus channel

[@masongarrett4735]

Thank you for the information it was enlightening.

[@TheBazzterd]

7minutes... learned more then i did in school :P

[@NoBody-wy9gv]

I've always wanted to see oil pressure. It's another tool for being able to catch something happening, before for something happens. If oil pressure drops you know you've got a problem occurring.

[@nsboost]

Even analog gauges fail. We just use different technology to get information now. If you want redundancy you can have multiple sensors and inputs into the Holley setup. I have a fair amount of faith in quality sensors. Cheap stuff you never know

[@ArmouryMan]

that subtle Mad Max reference tho

[@mikeeagle2653]

Ls motors have one cam senor not two. Either in the timing chain cover or the back top of block. It does not use two sensors

[@waelmahmoud4503]

Great job Bad Daddy

[@MrJoshiba26]

Great job BDB!

[@stingofpurlear8]

Very informative great video guys!

[@jameshugh6016]

Dude keep these episodes coming

[@Nowlive187]

Brad is smart as fuck. Great teacher

[@Dungfunnel]

With two seperate gauges which one do you believe? I’d rely on the factory stuff. As long as you use factory sensors.

[@nickrogers8606]

Bunghole Bungville I think the idea is compare the two. If they’re both reading high or low, you can safely assume there’s a real problem. If they’re contradicting then I guess that’s a judgment call.

[@nickrogers8606]

Or if one fails there’s a back up.

[@chair362]

if you have two gauges you always believe the one closest to what it should be.....simply for comfort reasons dont listen to me i have about 0.00001 knowledge on mechanical stuffs

[@raymondruz9634]

Thanks fir the wisdom

[@Dadmoves49]

Good job BDB. Even I understand that. 😂

[@rabcross2252]

Thanks Brad .

[@t.stewart4354]

So TDC in LS doesn't stand for Top Dead Center. Instead it stands for They Don't Care? Got it. Thanks professor sketch daddy braddy 👍😂

[@chair362]

did you purposely use the creepy shot of kado zooming in on brads nether regions whilst saying "lets get this thing mounted" as you end clip? or am i the only weirdo who took it that way?

[@TrojanHorse1959]

Very GOOT video!

[@LurkMoar101]

I relied on my oil pressure idiot light right up until I built my first Holden 304, reknowned for having pressure issues due to a shit oil pick up. Now, I cant handle not having one regardless of the engine/car.

[@wooderson76]

I always give Two Thumbs Up so i can check that my left hand is reading the same as my right.

[@BIllMcCambridge]

Using timing light to check sensor calibration.

[@tyrel3664]

Brad is the fucking Best.

[@isaacshively6705]

I have a trailblazer with the inline 6 vortec and its the same way it has a cam shaft positioning sensor

[@michaelteeter3886]

He's so smart. Hes like bill nye but for LS or cars

[@mavr1ck_garage]

Wait u didn't cut to the rolling tdc joke... Im lost

[@workworkwrk]

What does "Reference" mean? but that Old Geezer sure knows his stuff!

[@peteh8077]

"I cant distress this enough"

[@x310gtsx]

brad, they didnt go back to that! XD

[@LohrrrOCE]

🙏🏻

[@ประสิทธิ์หุ่นบรรจง]

Lohrrr เล่นดีๆ

[@johnelliott3866]

We are expecting a larry chen pikes peak video by the way

[@lucasredmond9778]

Thats a pretty lsx

[@mattwalker5852]

I need Brad to Build me a LS to go into my 81 Malibu !!!

[@TheOriginalFaFa]

Nice

[@koshuamims128]

TDC for other motors means top dead center TDC for LS motors means they don't care Daddy Braddy on the 411

[@allex288]

"Would this fit in my honda?"

[@MistaFuzzeh]

oh hey a new vid

[@callumfraser5492]

Dr Mad Daddy Braddy?

[@HazeGreyAndUnderway]

Where's that weed facility at, I want to maintain their air conditioning? Sweet Jesus, he's a machine.

[@urielalmanza9696]

Getting lernt with brad.

[@evan7773]

I LOVE YOU

[@BerttPal]

K I L L B L A S P H E M I

[@ประสิทธิ์หุ่นบรรจง]

Ok..Rj

[@StuffMarcSays]

I think what hes wanting to say is analog instead of manual lol

[@mariai.cubillo4577]

*T I M I N G*

[@DeanD084]

So did is Brad hired thru hoonagian how? I don't remember seeing anything

[@adamm2716]

hmm i think he is OG but used to not be featured

[@mattrobinson5254]

He wasn't there at the start. He went to buy a T-Shirt the day before DT059 and just seems to have stuck around. The dude's a legend, I don't think I've ever seen a mechanic with so much knowledge give so few fucks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHayoIBoaMeNlZI

[@johnathonlevesque3784]

For people like me its a difference between a digital and manual micrometer. Don't ever trust digital stuff.

[@daltonmerritt4942]

Just called y2k brad for 7 min

[@aapfry]

"Analog gauge"

[@esrtradajesse]

Can he please be my dad

[@cb091188]

A little too paranoid about Electronics

[@tyschultz3959]

#wheresgaryking

[@bagatti]

*mechanical *analog

[@brettcoker9776]

I’m gay :)

[@dielauwen]

Ah BRAD you are old like CAT . He thinks you tell the machine what is what. Now its the Machine tells you whats what. You kind of have to wrap your head around the fact that nothing you do has a control anymore . The control is from the computer. The younguns don't understand having control. That is why they are amazed old guys can tighten bolts accurately by feel.no torque wrench needed for most things.
