351w Marine Short Block Assembly - Part 2

[@flipflopsgarage]

Installing the balancer before tightening the front cover is all the proof you need to know this guy understands Ford engines.

[@JacobVillemain]

Any engine that does not have timing cover dowels should be done this way!

[@flipflopsgarage]

@@JacobVillemain I only work on Ford but it makes sense.

[@dannilaser16]

Can’t stress enough how much your videos have helped me. Thank you so much. Audio, video and your patience in explaining the process was well worth watching the video. THANK YOU!

[@JacobVillemain]

Thank you!

[@Scubasteve22]

I appreciate you sharing. Also appreciate you actually painting the block before assembly. So many people i see don't, and it doesn't look professional....Thanks

[@alertgasper]

ah, finally, a video where someone puts the cam in first :) i might recommend, if you stand the block up on its bellhousing area, gravity will help even more with putting the cam inside the block without dinging the bearings.

[@stevecooper8121]

Nice looking build.Text book work, I'm impressed at your skills.

[@cranerigging3604]

Nice work , we are also building a Ford 351W so your video's are very helpful !

[@Backfire10]

Loved to hear what you said regarding HV oil pumps. I have, in the past, ordered HV oil pumps and cut the spring to reducce pressure, or just use standard. It' s not necessary, as the windsor design has a really good oiling system. Good job!

[@dodgefree1400]

We always put high volume oil pumps in this engine and only this engine because they religiously hammer out the bottom end in heavier applications like econoline vans. The bottom end can’t handle 351 ci. Previous builder must have thought that. Excellent workmanship. Maybe materials are better now.

[@MyRideisMe]

Very helpful! Step by step! Thank you!

[@JacobVillemain]

You’re welcome!

[@amputationbydave3293]

One thing that I would suggest always put a little lube on the bearings before sliding the cam in, whenever you have metal to metal contact especially on the bearings you could have put a scratch in the bearing causing a premature failure down the road. Never have middle to Middle contact no matter how good you are sliding a cam in

[@gball231jr]

You’re beast on engines 💯

[@jeffdiehl8394]

nice work! I see at 24:59 the dark spots in the bores, looks like the shallow untouched areas after touch honing with a torque plate. pretty common and not going to affect this combo but for someone rebuilding a Ford or a 4 head bolt pattern engine be aware if you plate hone something that doesn't need much material removed you will see these dark/low spots as that is how the bore distorts under headbolt load. I see you touched the decks on this one also. on core 351W blocks do you see a lot of deck warping? wondering. thanks!

[@frank3RV4]

Wow! I learned a lot from this video! Thank you for sharing your tips and experience with the public. Question, have you ever used the Total Seal Gapless piston rings? I am currently rebuilding a 351W marine engine myself and am considering trying the gap-less rings. Wanted your take on the gap-less rings? Basically bone stock engine including the flat tappet cam (reverse rotation) and between 8:1 and 8.5:1 compression ratio. Happy New Year!

[@donroberson9835]

I would like to know the tolerance piston to wall and ring on this marine engine? Great video

[@beamer6136]

Great video.. One of the best ive seen. And i have been watching alot. Me and son on our first build SBC, you have given alot of really good tips, you really do a good job the little bit of RTV on the nipple on rear cap. The attention to detail is really good. I want to come work with you for a month and learn all i can. So at 11 minute mark, using that gauge does that same as using plastic gauge?

[@spotliterrr]

I’m watching your build to find a very interesting learned a few things may I offer something to you. Since you do not like high volume oil pumps and I wanted to make a note that since that engine did have a high volume pump that may be why it looks so very good and had no way or whatsoever, at any rate, you did not blueprint the Oil system on the block. He did not match the oil pump to the port on the engine. He did not streamline the passages to the old filter , I’d like to suggest that you do that if you’re not gonna use a high volume pump

[@jimrutin]

Truly excellent! Thank you!

[@Lumpy-jd4fw]

Very informative videos all them I watched

[@6516545]

That's a cool trick with a steel wool, just curious what grade of wool do you use

[@EduardoTapia-qh6jc]

Gracias, excelente!

[@digitalbath8577]

My only critique is to get yourself some support on your feet. Ill be turning 47 this year, started wrenching @ 24 yo. And being on that concrete all day will mess your knees and feet up. Otherwise good job

[@gearhead7896]

Very nice rebuild. Is that 2 part epoxy clear coat the Eastwood product?

[@CaptainSkidmark74]

Can you share info on the epoxy clear coat you used? Thanks! Great video!

[@JacobVillemain]

It’s made by Spray Max. PN: 3680061

[@andrewsensi9195]

@@JacobVillemain How does it hold up to the heat?

[@421ssrida]

This was a cool budget build. However the rubber in that balancer was done.

[@GreerSutherland]

At 17:08 what are you doing? You didn't explain that? Thanks😊

[@rotorway133]

2 part epoxy clear coat....in a can? Where did you get that?

[@keithparsons9222]

What does it run to have yall do an engine rebuild like this?

[@johncasor9698]

when you install those rods into the block i always use a 4 inch 3/8 fuel hose installed onto the rod stud threads,,, this way i do not rub against the nice crank rod journal, i see those pistons have a point grove in them to show us which way to do a piston install pointing forward or backward, you should put oil in between those rods they are dry on the crank... and oil the crank rubbing on the thrust crank bearing always it too is dry ???

[@thomasharvanek2411]

Nice program

Thank you!

hi , can you tell me how much is tighten bolt for main and big end bearing . Tnx

[@damianbrennan853]

I never use anti seize on threads inside an engine as it contains metal

[@tomwinkle1597]

Seems silly for mock up.

[@vr4junkie385]

Hey man I need your opinion I have 350sbc the block froze and cracked ...I got another block from a 3/4 ton truck that ran it’s the same block number and everything but I was told that marine engines need to be Bored 20 over for thermal expansion is that true??? Boat I have is a 95 Rienell came with a Volvo Penta 350 Thanks in advance

[@georgefailing9137]

Nylon Nuff going to pick up to lot of heat down there to i dont know if heat is a problom off oil

[@JacobVillemain]

Nylon doesn’t soften or melt until about 490*F. Won’t be a problem.

[@johncasor9698]

did you know you will lose torque when using that long long 3/8 extension / you want to bring that torque wrench as close to the bolt or nut as you can. or use a 1/2'' thick extension so it will not twist and lose torque, this is like a torque stick for a wheel lug nut do you know what a torque stick is ???

[@automotiveaddiction428]

Is a 351 marine better the the 351 car engine or exactly the same.

[@jeffdiehl8394]

internal parts are usually the same unless it's a reverse rotation engine which would have a different cam and distributor gear. also they use an iron front timing cover as it supports more weight and sometimes brass freeze plugs for corrosion resistance.

[@jorginofingal4267]

Nice meng

[@neilhaley1485]

Build me 500 hp 351? $?

[@johncasor9698]

at 17:22 you installed rings into the block only one in each hole to check ring end gap on every hole ??? you did not teach us why ??? those rings installed on the piston should be positioned at 180 deg of the other ring gap as per install instructions ... but they say rings spin around the piston when engine is running ?? so i really would not matter where you install the ring gap ends to achieve the 180deg ring gap location... just say`n...

[@JacobVillemain]

Because I’m not a teacher

[@johncasor9698]

you should do research on a thread sealer theory this will improve your skills, wait until you build a gas turbine engine and you use safety wire on every nut and bolt... you will learn 3 things i did which is Accuracy / Quality / correctness... build by that 3 rules... just say`n...

[@johncasor9698]

not everyone has a bore gage in there tool box,,, you should teach us how to use that wonderful thing called PLASTIC GAGE... this would be in order... and a fool proof way to do clearance check on a two piece shell bearing install, i heard of unmarked shell cap out there from a Master Builder i met, he saw a set of rod bearing unmarked ,,, just say`n...

[@JacobVillemain]

I think you meant their*

[@joekaz5198]

He's building an engine for a customer. Why wouldn't he use the best equipment he has. If someone wants to learn about plasti-gage, there are videos out there for it.
