@@Jafromobile - My friend used to work for Nissan, but was never apart of the actual assembly. She was curious about the process, and what happened after her stage in the "assembly line". Luckily you were here to assist. While waiting for your next video, I'll be watching Mike Patey build some kick ass aircraft. Highly recommended, since you are undoubtedly a man of high standards and work ethics.

Great video. The first one of your videos I ever saw was the one where you spun a bearing in this motor, which helped console me after I had just ruined a 4.6L F-150 engine by screwing up a rod bearing replacement. This video feels like things have come full circle for this engine. It's also an example of why I always thing of you when mechanical things are frustrating, not going as planned, and taking forever. You say you're not that patient, but your way of re-framing how you think about things makes you practically a garage zen master in my book. Thanks again for all the great work!

When you venture deeply into the performance category, your tool budget takes a hit. If you go... like... medium into it? Yeah, it's not like this at all.

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

About camera focus- CCD thrive on IR absorbency to get a RAST and edge of perception. If a surface is too blingy, it will scatter rather than reflect; too dark- you get _refraction_. Putting an IR absorbent substrate in the path (hand) will change focus. Ambient temperature and humidity of a substrate will also effect focus length.

[@Jafromobile]

Yes, I figured that out with the old camera. It had MUCH BETTER focus routines than this one. Better sensors, bigger lens, just not 4K. I miss using it. But even it had problems with shiny things because the IR would bounce off and reflect the distance to the thing in the reflection.

Michael

[@Jafromobile]

As you know where light is concerned all things are relative. I'd actually need more light to hit the aperture I wished I could use/needed to fix the focus issues. I've got 15,000 lumens in 64 square feet already, it just flickers because LED. If I shoot faster than 1/30, the camera captures frames that are only partially-lighted causing banding that cycles through the frame. It actually captures the light cycles. If I shoot slower than 1/30 then I can't even hit an editable/usable frame rate to produce videos with. I've done it in super-accelerated stuff and it works, but normal speed video is useless like that. I just need to switch back to a light source that doesn't spend 80% of its duty cycle in the off state while it's on. It absolutely ruins video. I hate LEDs. They have their functions, but it's extremely poor quality light.

[@Raptor58559]

@@Jafromobile Oh! The extent of the problem is much bigger than I expected. The slower shutter also failed as "1/(fps/2)" is the ideal shutter speed calculation. When LEDs are ran at full brightness they shouldn't flicker, as the issue is the dimming - but maybe some light sources are designed to always run on reduced brightness as there is not enough cooling possible for the chosen component.

[@TraceyAllen]

Jafro, what was the temperature difference between the machine shop and the garage? Most specs are at 68°F as a standard. Also resist the urge to put your fingers on the bore gauge and the micrometers anvil. Not much mass and it can absorb body heat and throw off the measurements by a tenth or 2. Binky and you in the same week like Christmas in June.

[@Jafromobile]

It was around 73°. Just like my garage. If you noticed in the earlier scenes there's a woodgrain quartz heater on the floor in front of the white board. Not worried about the brief touching and handling on inspections with gloved hands. It would be different if I stood there and held it, for sure, but I'm just doing light inspection work. I'm not cutting anything.

[@Jafromobile]

I actually heated the garage to 73° the entire winter and spring. The light from the clean room plus that temperature caused an outbreak of ladybugs that ate all the spiders until there were none, and then they all died. I vacuumed 'em all up.

Like you said though you’re going to get there and it’s goimg to be RIGHT, well at least as right as you can get it. The more non OEM parts you add and the further from stock spec you get the more frustrating it always is getting them to play the game you want nicely together.

Dude... You are a LEGEND.

Awesome video as always Jafro, see you in 6 months for final assembly :(

[@Jafromobile]

If it goes on 2 months on this one, I'm getting a new block, or building the Galant instead.

@@Jafromobile Never mad, just eager for more. I just wanna see the GSX done for your sake, I like any 4g6 project. I would love to see another 7 bolt, though. Just because that’s what I’m working on atm. And thanks, without these videos I wouldn’t be doing any where near as good of a job!

[@gafrers]

Love the video. So detailed and a little OCD, simply Wonderful as usual

i could never build an engine because of you LoL Love your vids!

so much love Jafro!

I love this channel. It's made me a better builder

Hi, after all the machine work was essentially done the runout on the journals isn't what you were looking for. I find that insane 😳 after all the time & effort. Some ppl. Would have just called it a day and placed it all together & then kaboom allover the road or track. As time consuming and difficult as it looks awesome progress in the making. 350 to 400 min. Hp on pump gas hopefully. Have a safe week .

[@Jafromobile]

My goals are actually a lot higher than that. I made 430 on the old setup with a Big16g. All of that is changing. The runout came from the oversized bearing, and it was gone once I put a set of standards back in there. The oversize bearing just cocked the crank at an angle. There's actually no runout on the crank journals. There's a much worse problem, but we'll get there soon.

[@RampantSGV]

At 41:35 there is a suspicious burr in on of the crank balancing holes. Wouldn't want that to come loose once it's spinning.

[@Jafromobile]

Wait... I answered this comment didn't I? I remember typing it... ? It said something like... "I went out to the garage and tried to pick it out, and it's firmly-attached. I'm conflicted about removing it because this crank is perfectly zero-balanced". I swear this comment is older than 41 minutes ago... because it's been hours since I did that. how you do this?

[@RampantSGV]

@@Jafromobile I'm not sure maybe the cummunal uncoscious... Great work on all your vids, they are so packed with great info and tech tips I find myself getting something new every time I watch. Keep it up brother!

[@RampantSGV]

I'd probably leave it alone too given the situation.

Dude most of the time i have no idea what you are saying or doing but i enjoy it all the same!

[@bmneumann]

Have you read the metrologist handbook? I think you'd enjoy it.

[@tangles01]

I also remember being torn to shreds for using plastigage to verify my measurements having clearly measured everything 18000 times to the micron where I could and 10 though where I had to

[@Jafromobile]

My next video is going to terrify the daylights out of you. You're probably fine. But they didn't mean you any harm.

[@tangles01]

@@Jafromobile No no he was vicious, called me a backyarder. said it's something that people use in their shed and that I could never work in his shop. I responded reminding him I was a bcackyarder, doing it in my shed and I wasn't applying.

[@Jafromobile]

@@tangles01 lol. Whelp... I think I have a much kinder and gentler way to deliver his point. Plastigauge isn't for measuring oil clearances. The DSM service manual suggests to always do it, and specifically to check oil clearances with it, but there's a lot that it doesn't catch. Coincidentally, there's a whole lot that a bore gauge doesn't catch, either, and plastigauge can reveal it. I get where he's coming from, but perhaps he could work on his delivery? I'm of the opinion that you should always do both.

[@tangles01]

@@Jafromobile That was my counter, I said what if I made mistake in my measurements, why not do this to confirm, yeah it takes a bit of extra time but if the measurements don't agree, I will have to do something about it, in my case everything was spot on. He refused to get it, so I asked if he'd ever made a mistake in his career and he said no, that was the end of the conversation.
