100 thumbs UP . I think about the way i built engines back in early 70 's porting head with a drill and a piece of speedo cable and different round stones . tape and hose clamps lol . to match intake manifold we would bend a piece of wire 90 degrees to catch high and low spots . it would to days of work to do them . back in the day i knew alot of really smart people and they kept telling me to spend more on the exhaust side of the heads it was more important . how things have changed sense those days .

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Cheers to the premier!

Thanks for the tip on the Titan Head gasket

[@jizburg]

Great video. The only blocks that i can see having a problem with that tool is a VR6 because of the non vertical bores.

Ebay store is a great idea! You could sell custom "DannyBilt" engines! :)

Nice video and good explenation. - Stainless wire for copper or composite head gaskets. - Copper wire for MLS head gaskets. Mitsubishi and Subaru guys run 1000whp+ with stainless wire and stock composite head gaskets, no receiver grove.

So, the California trip was for the ebay commercial I take it? I watch it to the end every time without skipping my man has made it to Hollywood

[@elainesoliz2205]

You made me laugh out loud, excellent observation!

[@aroundlinemen]

Nice job, thanks

[@Jvcomet]

Awesome thanks.

[@josepeixoto3384]

Your videos are great, actually easy to build a tool like that; thanks. **edit, Daniel** wher do the 10 thou go? SS cannot be compressed there,so does the ring dig down into the cyinder head? or does it just stay controlled by a gasket stop?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

It gets pressed into the head gasket. Sometimes we do a receiver groove in the cylinder head and it sets it’s self there. Kinda like a locking ring.

[@valterbeicinha9633]

Hello, loved your videos on this. I have a question, I am not a mechanic not a motor builder but I am fixing and renovating my car, learning as I go, so right now I have the option of getting a copper gasket custom made with higher thickness since I got the engine block releveled and the surfacing took a lot. Originally the motor does not have a copper gasket so I don't know if the torque specifications needed and also if I need a ring since I got a thicker gasket to compensate deck height

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Same torque will work and o-rings are not needed. 👍

[@valterbeicinha9633]

@@MrDanielSoliz thank you from the other side of he Ocean

[@garygarza9074]

Easy enough. Great video.

[@bradprok]

hey great video btw , just wondering if you put a reciever groove in the head . how to do line the groove up to the head? and what do you use to cut the reciever groove on the head . i presume a mill. ? also the reciever groove in the head how wide do you determine to make it ? i presume it has to be wider than the oring groove in the block to accept the gasket plus the oring .thanks

[@MrDanielSoliz]

I did not put a receiver groove on the cylinder head on these. Wanted to test the compressed air supercharger and it worked fine. On other power adders I would have. BHJ makes a plate system to cut those on the table we use the mill to do it and same width as the block.

[@bradprok]

@@MrDanielSoliz if you do a set with reciever groove on a manual mill i would like to see a video i have a ls i would like to cut the heads myself on my mill just want to try do it without the bhj plate if possible

[@ssswdon]

doesn't the head need a receiver grove ?

[@FINfinFINfinFINfin]

How many cylinders can you o ring before you need a new cutter bit? I assume Isky sells replacements.

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Yes they do , I purchased an extra cutter years ago just to make sure I had an extra one and haven’t even used it yet.

[@alexmurad6957]

Just ordered 1 from amazon. Can’t wait to try it. Would putting some oil on the cutting surface help at all for a smoother no chatter cut? I can’t see how it would make it any worse.

[@MrDanielSoliz]

You will love it, oil ? It depends on the metal I have tried it,I have found that sometimes is stops cutting and just dulls the blade. Lately I’ve been doing them dry.

[@e34boat88]

would you use hylomar on normal flat block and mls gasket?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Yes sir!!!! Love it!👍👍👍👍

[@Airman..]

You Knocked it out the park

[@jimschaffroth5652]

So how do you groove the head. Is there a fixture for that?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

BHJ does make a fixture and you can also do it on the Bridgeport mill. With a cutter.

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Hmmm? apparently... at least according to Ebay.. Texas ain't a Lone Star State anymore. But we knew that all along.🎆

[@krazyd27]

Is that an iron or aluminum block? I bought one based off your video I found online and can't get it to cut my iron nissan block.

[@MrDanielSoliz]

Iron block.

[@martymerritt4277]

Did you end up finding a different blade to cut it?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

The blade that came with the kit. I did buy a spare blade and the black I cut was a( high nickel )very hard block.

[@danielsmith-ze3wy]

Ebay motor well well well look who has made big time guess we just call you Hollywood now congratulations 🎊 👏

[@blownaway14]

Whats the blue stand for the micrometer

[@MrDanielSoliz]

It’s for checking the grove depth. Not necessarily but I like to check it afterwards.

[@blownaway14]

@@MrDanielSoliz i ment like who makes it

[@GTNDWN]

how do you do the reciever groove?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

We do it on a Bridgeport mill but you can also use a tool (jig) by BHJ tools.

[@nickm9854]

@@MrDanielSoliz do you "have to" put a reciever groove in or just best practice? Thanks

[@7mgtecreations860]

What tool is used to make the receiving groove on the head?

[@MrDanielSoliz]

BHJ will make a plate for any engine and they have the cutting head. We use the bridge port mill.

[@7mgtecreations860]

@@MrDanielSoliz how deep is the receiving groove have to be?

[@AndreenMotorsports]

Ive had much better luck with MLS than the SCE Titan. The Titans wouldn't hold as much boost. O-rings and receiver grooves are still the best though.
