How to tear down an engine - Big Block Chevy - My first time.

[@antilaw9911]

Something to mention for all... when an engine is cold it doesn't matter any order to remove head bolts. That only matters when engine still hot do to expansion/cooling rate. Have a good ya all!

[@benhoke6330]

There is alot of power to be made with those heads with some work.get your cyl pressure up around 185-200lbs and get a cam that makes peak power at 6,000 rpm.glad it was all in good shape!

What are your plans for the motor? My 427 is currently being rebuilt for my 69 Vette. I put in a stroker kit at 70 over it will be a 498. Looking forward to the dyno numbers.

[@SS454LS6]

Mine will stay a 4 inch stroke, bored .060 over.

Your plugs were too cold for 9.5:1. The ground strap doesn’t tell heat range. How many threads are colored does. You should have2-3 threads colored. Overall the plugs show rich and some oil ingestion. Have a look at the GM performance valley pan, like the crate engines come with. Yes that timing chain has a lot of wear.

This is a great video, like just about all of them I've seen, but maybe I missed the part where you identified the heads. What heads are you running, did i hear stock LS5 engine?

[@matzrat5006]

always run steel mounts all around or poly all around or rubber, dont mix them

[@musclebone7875]

I ran a rubber mount and a steal mount on my old 402 bbc with no problem.

[@matzrat5006]

@@musclebone7875 got lucky, i run steel all around, so far 28 years later, no cracked trans or broken mounts.

[@musclebone7875]

@@matzrat5006 lol I guess I did. I run steal mounts now. My 496 makes alot of torque 😆

[@matzrat5006]

@@musclebone7875 i have a 496 , long rod , with 840 heads , flat top pistons. makes life fun.Changing the Heads to AFR Magnums , lighten up the front end a bit.

[@musclebone7875]

@@matzrat5006 840 are rectangular ports heads right? I'm running the 088 rectangular port heads with a flat top piston as well. What AFR heads are you looking at?
