When I was a kid in the late 60's these engines were our go-to mill for building hot rods. We were building and dropping GM V8s into literally everything. No Fords or Mopars here 😉 This was all done in a barn in Eastern Long Island. We had a reputation, for sure. We wouldn't charge anything for labor as ours was a labor of love, so whoever wanted us to do their cars paid for the materials/supplies. All machining was subleted, of course. These experiences set me on the path of automotive service. After four years as an Engineman in the Navy, I was offered a position with Porsche. I must say that rebuilding a Porsche engine with extreme tolerances was eye-opening. I attended all of the Porsche tech schools. After 10+ years with Porsche, I started my own shop... back to Eastern Long Island where I built a very successful business. I am retired now, but seeing this being done brought back some incredible memories. Thanks... thanks a lot! 💥

Then flywheel started rubbing the starter so i took it apart crank had been turned .20 and the thurst flange was worn

[@rayworx]

Back in the '70s I worked in a m/c shop that did a lot of machining work. The Kiwk Way boring bar was designed for a 3.5" max diameter. I had to bore a new style short stroke engine one time and the bore was in excess of the 3.5". I worried about what would happen and I saw the same 'chatter' on the bottom of the cylinder as you saw on the 327. Maybe that's what happened on this particular engine. What the real problem was the cutting tool had to be extended out too far and I think that is where the damage occurred.

[@ronsullivan132]

I am not at all familiar with a dedicated boring machine, but as a retired machinist who has bored thousands of bores in 45 years I can tell you that if you have a long bar that starts to chatter, switching to a HSS tool and slowing it way down in SFM may be the only way to get the chatter out. Not the productive way, ($$$) when time is money, but you have to work with what you have available.

If I could make a suggest regarding your videos: I think you should put a soft limiter/compressor on your audio when editing as the clangs and bangs can be a little high. Great video and teardown. Your Dad, sorry, the cleaning guy is getting much more comfortable and professional in front of the camera now; you could even say he is liking the new presenter role :)

Now that I am retired, I enjoyed the video as it taught me much of the background of my brother's knowledge. Forty-two years ago, I assisted my youngest brother rebuild my 350 cubic inch Chevy engine for my 1970 1/2 - 1971 full size van where the bearings went bad at 47,000 miles. My, six years younger, brother learned his skill in high school auto shop. I made sawdust in high school wood shop and was in a college business program. I learned much about engines being his helper and go-fer. In preparation for the van engine rebuild, we had rebuilt my 65 Chevelle six banger twice as I was too cheap to spend an additional $20 for a new cam shaft. The $10 remanufactured cam shaft broke one week after reassembly. We didn't have more than basic tools and had to make use of loaners and machine shop services. Needless to say, we had more energy than knowledge. To pull the van engine, we removed the passenger seat and door to pull the engine out the passenger door utilizing an engine hoist. Twelve hours to remove and twelve hours to replace the engine on subsequent weekends. During the intervening week, R&R the internal parts and have machining done. It was several years later that I learned the proper way was to disconnect the front wheel assembly, lift the front bumper up and to roll the engine out on the front wheel assembly.

You guys do amazing work! Love your channel and the level of detail you go through tearing down and building engines!

The bore says it all with broken skirt. Pistons were slapping so hard it broke the skirt!

[@cincinnatusaurelius8371]

The rock of the pistons would be at the bottom of the bore, and since bore was undersized at bottom, I suspect piston bound up when it got hot and cracked it.

@@dreadnoughtprime6301 cars used to have have the last part of the vin stamped into the block. Just a way to check if a old car is original. I had a 65 cheny impala ss that was numbers matching, made it worth a couple of 1000 more.

[@dreadnoughtprime6301]

@@raynyhus2026 So it's useful for people who want to sell a vehicle to others who are obsessed with things being "all original"?

[@georgebettiol8338]

@@dreadnoughtprime6301 The value of a 'numbers matching' engine is dependent on the desirability of the car. For example, in Australia a very sought after car is the Ford Falcon GT HO Phase 3 that is fitted with a Cleveland 351 engine. In an original state, the said Falcon is worth between AUS $750,000 to 1,000,000 (equivalent to US 500,000 to $670,000) - depending on overall condition. If the same car is fitted with a non-matching numbers engine then its value would be less than 40% of that $750-1,000k. However, if you have no interest in money, or never have the need to sell a valuable car, then a numbers matching engine would be of no interest to you.

I used a cheap 3 spring spring honer on an Ford V6 engine when I was young and foolish. It took 1000 miles to break the engine in. Had no power and ever so slowly the rings seated. Then it was okay. It was in a daily driver. I was surprised that it never burnt any oil.
